The reclusive priest is now very relieved about Li Ming's situation. This boy is blessed with great fortune. Not only will he not be controlled by the devil, but now even the saint can be safe.
And the most important thing is that they finally found a helper who can help solve the difficulties they faced...
This helper is undoubtedly Li Ming himself!
"Young man, your situation has finally been clarified. It is a blessing for you to have this matter turn into what it is now. Next, I still have some things that I need your help with," said the reclusive priest.
"Priest, please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do my best." Li Ming quickly replied. He knew in his heart that he had another important task to take on!
"I told you when we were in Huangsha Town that I was secretly investigating some situations inside the temple." The reclusive priest said.
"Yes, I have not forgotten a word of what you said, and it can now be proven that there is indeed a crisis within the Destiny Empire. The temple priest who served as the lord of the Imperial City thirty years ago is most likely the one you are tracking down.
One!" Li Ming quickly told him the situation.
"What! You said he was one of the moles!" The reclusive priest's eyes widened in shock, and a dozen other priests also looked horrified.
"What's wrong? Do you all know this priest?" Li Ming asked.
Thirty years ago, he served as the city lord of the imperial city. It can be seen that the status of this priest is already very high. But now it seems that this guy's status in the temple is more prominent than imagined!
"Young man, don't just talk without real evidence!" the reclusive priest warned.
"Although I have no evidence that he is a traitor, a murder case I investigated was related to a traitor in the empire. However, this city lord helped others conceal the true culprit of the murder, which shows that he is not a good person!" Li Ming said.
"Maybe he has other reasons?" the reclusive priest shook his head and said.
"Who is he? You don't even dare to doubt him?" Li Ming asked doubtfully.
"I won't tell you his identity until there is evidence, but I can tell you that he is a close friend of mine. If you say he is a traitor, I will not believe it for the first time." The reclusive priest shook his head.
"Okay, let's wait until I have conclusive evidence." Li Ming had to endure his doubts for the time being.
"Now I want to tell you that after so many years of secret investigation, the Chaos Empire has always had evil intentions towards the Destiny Empire, and it may not take long to launch a war! So now, we must clear out all the demon caves hidden in the territory of the Destiny Empire as soon as possible.
In case the battle comes, these demon caves suddenly erupt, then our situation will be even more dangerous!" said the reclusive priest.
"I understand all this, but the existence of the Demon Cave is extremely difficult to find. So far, I have only seen one poisonous spider sand cave." Li Ming sighed.
"You don't have the ability of a high-level priest yet, so of course you can't find the existence of the devil's cave. Even full-time priests like us have to find the source of the devil's energy and go through many twists and turns to find the exact location of the devil's cave. If you can find one, you have already
It's because of good luck." The reclusive priest said with a faint smile.
"Then what do you need me to do?" Li Ming asked.
"It's very simple. It's up to us to find and clear out the devil's caves far away from the imperial city. But in some places close to the imperial city, we old guys can't get close easily to prevent being noticed by the traitors, so we can only ask for your help to continue to detect the traitors.
At the same time, deal with the demon caves near the imperial city." said the reclusive priest.
"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely carry out the investigation of the traitor to the end, but I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with the matter in the Demon Cave." Li Ming said.
"Are you worried that the magic cave is too powerful?" the reclusive priest asked with a smile.
"No, I can't even find the location of the Demon Cave, how can I help?" Li Ming shook his head.
"Don't worry about this. I will give you a ring. As long as you are inadvertently close to the source of the devil's energy, the ring will shine. If you are also close to the devil's cave, its light will be brighter, which proves that there is a place where the devil's energy gathers.
It is the existence of a devil's cave." The reclusive priest smiled and stretched out his hand, and a ring with shining black light suddenly appeared...
Obsidian Ring: A system special mission prop that can sense the existence of demonic energy.
…
"Young man, as long as you accept this ring, it is equivalent to accepting my mission request. Please consider whether you are willing to take on this important mission?" said the reclusive priest.
"Eradicating the demons is the mission of our Destiny Empire soldiers. I am willing to accept this task!" Li Ming nodded without hesitation and reached out to take the ring...
How could you not accept such an important task?
"Very good. Since you are willing to help, then wear this ring. Not only can it sense the presence of demonic energy, but it will also send a reminder once I have something to discuss with you." The reclusive priest nodded with satisfaction.
Ding... System: Congratulations to the player. You have successfully triggered the hidden plot mission [Eradicate the Demon Cave]: You have received the Obsidian Star Ring from the golden-robed priest. You will take on the task of finding the Demon Cave and destroying it. Near the Imperial City
There are at least five demon caves. Every time you eradicate a demon cave, you will receive a mysterious reward. The more demon caves you eradicate, the more generous the reward will be!
…
"I understand, there are actually five magic caves near the imperial city!" Li Ming said excitedly.
"Every demon cave of the demon clan is guarded by very powerful demon generals. Without the Obsidian Ring, you cannot open the demon cave. Therefore, whenever you find a demon cave, you must be very careful. If you do not understand the opponent's strength, you will not do a good job.
Before you prepare, don't take the initiative to die!" said the reclusive priest.
"Understood, I will definitely be careful." Li Ming smiled and nodded.
He immediately put on the black ring, and with a flash of black light, the ring disappeared instantly...
Once the mission props are used, they fuse with his fingers.
"Remember, I have placed all my hopes on you for the task of finding the devil's cave and exploring the traitor," said the reclusive priest.
"Then my lord also agreed to my request. If you want to return to the temple, be careful of the guy I suspect. Even if there is no evidence at the moment, you should be careful about him." Li Ming reminded.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on." The reclusive priest said with a smile.
Now Li Ming completely understood that there was more than one reclusive priest. They did not hesitate to give up their pampered identity and status in the temple, and even hid in the wilderness just to secretly detect the movements of the demons. This was a group of righteous people who truly protected the empire.
scholar.
As for those who are still secretly plotting for power, and even going to the extent of killing, they are the real sinners!
Li Ming's trip was not in vain. Not only did he understand the situation of the saint and the witch, but he also received a more important mission. It seems that searching for the devil's cave will be a very interesting mission plot again.
"Young man, we rarely come back here. If you need to contact me about something important in the future, you can just use your ring." The priest said with a smile.
"Understood, I'll take my leave." Li Ming turned around with satisfaction, took out the city return scroll and chose to return to the imperial city...
