<h4>Chapter 60: A New Secret Realm?</h4>


    "What support has the guild provided this time?"


    Ailina asked; if it was a task assigned by the guild, they would provide some assistance based on the task objectives and actual circumstances, which is akin to a portion of the reward being advanced.


    "Ten vials of Advanced Holy Water from the Dawn Church, three Undead Strike Magic Scrolls, and two Command Undead Magic Scrolls."


    "All are items to assist against the Undead!" Lis nodded as he spoke.


    He was very familiar with these items; Advanced Holy Water from the Dawn Church cost a hundred Gold Coins per vial, and he had just bought one a few days ago to awaken the Secret Treasure Lucky Brooch.


    Undead Strike was a One-Circle Magic, Command Undead was Second Circle Magic; generally, One-Circle Magic Scrolls were valued between 10 to 50 Gold Coins, and Second Circle Magic Scrolls between 100 to 200 Gold Coins.


    The support from the Mercenary Guild this time was quite impressive!


    "Yes, considering that we are likely facing Undead Creatures, the guild prepared these countermeasure-type magic items," Arsen paused, unbothered, he snatched thest chicken leg from Lunbos''s hand and said:


    "So, the guild has also made its requirement clear, it would be best if we could investigate the cause of this unusual event in K Vige, and handle it if possible."


    "If not, after gathering the relevant intelligence, proceed to the nearest Mercenary Guild to notify the Kingdom Army and the Church of the Gods, and let them take care of it."


    "I have no objections, I agree!" Ailina nodded.


    "I agree as well!" Ya''er enthusiastically raised her hand to show her agreement.


    "I have no objections." Lis naturally wouldn''t have any, this significant mission meant a substantial amount of experience would be credited, which could hasten his advancement to Silver Mage.


    Moreover, if a new secret realm had indeed formed there, that would be interesting!


    In his previous life in the game "Divine Revtion," various special secret realms would asionally appear across the Fanor Continent, some ancient and others formed for various special reasons; some were unique Different Spaces, while others directly existed in perilous conditions on the continent itself; all these were collectively known as secret realms.


    The rules and scenarios within each secret realm varied; you might encounter skies of snow with your feet on scorchingva, or perhaps shattered floating inds andndscapes.


    Within these secret realms, there might bemon creatures like goblins, or you could encounter terrifying beings like Ancient Dragons and Divine Cmities.


    After yers arrived, if a yer cleared a specific secret realm, that realm could potentially be recorded by the system as a secret realm crystal, allowing yers to re-enter and challenge it repeatedly.


    However, sessfully clearing a secret realm was not easy; most of the secret realm crystals in the past life were held byrge guilds and were considered extremely prized resources for exclusive use by their members.

    Few yers who owned secret realm crystals earned a fortune by renting them out.


    So, Lis was curious, if indeed he encountered a newly formed secret realm, would he obtain a secret realm crystal upon clearing it?


    The thought alone was slightly exciting!


    Lunbos did not even look up; he paid no mind to these team affairs, needing only to stand in front of his teammates during adventures.


    Seeing that everyone agreed to take on the mission, Arsen also nodded in agreement.


    After all, encountering rare Undead beings would be a uniquely valuable experience for Ya''er''s growth.


    Helping Ya''er through variousbats to enhance her insights and umte experience was a task His Majesty the King had entrusted to him.


    Although Ya''er had astonishing talent, having been nurtured within the depths of the Royal Pce until her advancement to Gold Level, without the baptism of real battle, advancing to Legend Level would be almost impossible.


    He was also a prodigy of the Kingdom!


    Feeling like he was fast bing an old mother, Arsen grew somewhat worried, then decided to stop dwelling on these disheartening thoughts.


    "That settles it then, we''ll meet directly at the Mercenary Guild tomorrow, take the mission, and then head straight to K Vige. Everyone, make sure to prepare today."


    Arsen finally instructed, nning also to head home to ry thetest information he received from Lis to his father and arrange for someone to secretly investigate.


    Everyone had no objections; when amission arrived, naturally things would be tense, and leisure time would be scarce.


    After lunch, Lis decided not to continue reading but returned directly to the estate.


    After all, this mission might take a long time, and he had some arrangements to make.


    After returning home, Lis had someone summon Joyce and said to the ever-elegant old butler:


    "I need to leave for a while soon, so please manage the estate. Have Welf and the others strengthen its surveince, and record any unusual situations until I return."


    Joyce furrowed his brows, "Master Lis, if you are going to travel far, it would be best to take Captain Welf with you to ensure your safety."


    "It''s not very convenient, and I will be with others, so there''s no need to worry about safety."


    Lis waved his hand, exining to the old butler.


    It seems he would be with those few mercenarypanions then? That young girl did indeed have some strength.


    Joyce pondered secretly, maintaining hisposure as he asked:


    "Then where are you heading, young master? Do you need anything else prepared?"


    "Tell the kitchen to start preparing a week''s supply of meals for ten people now, and add some fruits and bread that I''ll take with me. Nothing else is needed."


    Arsen had already agreed that they would prepare other adventure gear like tents, so he only needed to arrange the food.


    Joyce nodded, then left to prepare various items as Lis had requested.


    Lis returned to his room, called up his system, and threw all his current experience into raising his personal level, as exploring an unknown secret realm meant any strength increase was beneficial.


    -----------------


    [Your personal level has increased: 39→40!]


    [You gain Strength +2, Agility +1, Intelligence +2, Charm +1, Mysterious +1, Endurance +1]


    ....


    [Your personal level has increased: 42→43!]


    [You gain Strength +2, Agility +1, Intelligence +2, Charm +1, Mysterious +1, Endurance +1]


    -----------------


    Feeling new power surge through his body, it was almost like a full-body rejuvenation; Lis nearly cried out infort.


    After a few seconds, Lis called up the panel to start checking his updated attribute data.


    -----------------


    Lis'' panel (No padding, afraid of getting scolded!)


    -----------------


    His Intelligence and Strength attributes both had increased by 8 points, reaching 114 and 91 points, respectively.


    He then threw the 20 free attribute points from the Gold Levelndmark "Strongman''s Second Step" reward into Intelligence, boosting his Intelligence to 154 points.


    Phew~


    Suppressing the feeling of bing highly intelligent, Lis nodded in approval, very pleased with his recent progress.


    It seems I still have to thank my ssmate Camus!
