Chapter 36 Bernard
The higher the star rating of a Demon Castle mission, the fewer people will be eligible to accept it.
For example, a six-star mission can only be accepted by demons of five-star level or above.
It is normal that no one has accepted six-star or seven-star missions for hundreds of years. After all, there are not many strong people at that level.
After Raymond's six-star mission was released, many demons became interested because of the generous rewards. Some of them were six-star demons, and some were five-star demons who wanted to complete the six-star mission in order to be promoted to six-star demons.
But when they saw Jaeger's intelligence, they gave up the idea.
Not to mention the identity of the Jaeger Bauhinia Army, the two divine clones with the strength of six-star demons alone are enough to make many five-star and six-star demons helpless.
It was not until more than ten years ago that this task was taken over by the Phantom Trio.
Since then, Raymond has been looking forward to good news from the Phantom Trio.
"Ah, found it!"
The staff behind the counter's eyes lit up.
Raymond immediately asked, "How is it?"
"The demon who accepted the task has died, and this task is currently in a state where no one has accepted it." said the staff.
"Dead? The Phantom Trio is dead? How is this possible?" Raymond was confused.
"There's no mistake. The demon badges of these three people have become ownerless." The staff member confirmed.
After passing the demon assessment and becoming a demon, there will be two demon badges, one carried by the person and the other left in the demon castle. Once the demon badge becomes ownerless, the demon castle will know that the corresponding demon has fallen.
"This..." Raymond stood there in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.
He really couldn't understand why the Phantom Trio failed in their mission.
Moreover, even the Phantom Soul trio had failed, and he didn't know who else among the six-star demons would have the confidence to take on this task.
"Do we have to wait for the Seven Star Demon?"
The Seven-Star Demon can indeed take on Six-Star missions, and the reward he offers is enough to tempt the Seven-Star Demon.
The Seven-Star Demon is already the highest level of demon. Many who have reached the Seven-Star Demon rarely take on missions anymore. Most of them live in seclusion in various places. It is not known how many years it will take for a Seven-Star Demon to know about the mission and be interested in taking it on.
"Hey? Are you okay? Don't get in the way!"
There were many demons in the hall who also needed to do business. Some of them became dissatisfied when they saw Raymond standing stupidly in front of the counter.
Upon hearing this, Raymond did not argue and walked aside silently.
Demons were coming and going in the Demon Castle. When a four-star demon saw Raymond, a trace of doubt appeared on his face. Then he secretly observed him for a few times, and seemed to have finally confirmed something, and his eyes lit up.
Just then, a red-haired young man and a skinny old man walked into the Demon Castle and came to the third floor.
As soon as the red-haired young man and the skinny old man arrived, some demons recognized their identities.
"It's Bernard from the Four Divine Beasts family!"
"This guy has become very famous recently. He came all the way from Qianyang Prefecture and has successively received several very difficult missions. He just passed the demon assessment hundreds of years ago, and now his demon badge level is already a five-star demon."
"Hey, what's so strange about this? He is a descendant of the Four Divine Beasts family, and his father is an elder of the Azure Dragon family. Behind the Four Divine Beasts family are four great gods. With Bernard's identity, he must have the power of the gods. What's a five-star mission? I think he can complete a six-star mission."
"I say, haven't you heard of it? He had a scandal. Back then, his strongest divine clone was killed, and now only an ordinary upper god clone is left."
"What? Who dares to kill someone from the Four Divine Beasts family?"
Some familiar demons were talking to each other through telepathy while secretly watching Bernard. Bernard noticed the looks from all around him. Although he didn't know what the demons were communicating about, he could guess something from their looks.
"That thing again! That thing again!"
Bernard roared in his heart.
Ever since his strongest divine clone was killed by Akiri, he has become very sensitive to the eyes around him.
In the past, he was also the focus of everyone's attention.
It was just that at that time, there was awe in the eyes of others who looked at him. This awe was not only for him, but also for the family of the Four Sacred Beasts to which he belonged.
Bernard enjoys the feeling of being respected and is proud of being a descendant of the Four Divine Beasts family.
But ever since the death of his strongest divine clone, he discovered that there was something else in the way others looked at him.
Was it sarcasm? Taunting? Joke? Or something else? He wasn't sure, because no one dared to express it openly in front of him, but that look made him very uncomfortable, and he could no longer enjoy the feeling of being stared at.
"It is a great shame and humiliation that a descendant of the Four Divine Beasts family had his strongest incarnation killed by someone from a small family!" Bernard thought so more than once.
The more proud he was of his bloodline before, the more ashamed he felt now.
He must wash away this shame.
“If I change my previous style of behavior and become cautious and timid just because the strongest god’s clone was killed, doesn’t that mean I’m afraid? How can I be afraid? I’m from the Four Divine Beasts family! I’m the bloodline of the great Lord God!”
So he became more high-profile, extreme, and arrogant than before. He wanted to become famous and prove the power of the Four Divine Beasts family.
When he was in Menglan City, because his family members were interested in the demon assessment, he also participated and became a one-star demon.
Afterwards, they rushed all the way from Menglan City to Lanfeng City, trying to cross the Starry Mist Sea and head to the Blood Peak Continent.
Along the way, he took on several demonic missions, all of which were very difficult missions of the same star level. He wanted to use this method to prove himself to the outside world.
His demon star level also increased from one star to five stars.
Because of the mission, their journey was delayed. Otherwise, it would not take two hundred years to get from Menglan City to Lanfeng City.
Bernard walked straight to the counter for accepting tasks and asked directly: "What six-star tasks do you have?"
His current demon badge level is five stars, and he can already take on six-star tasks. Once completed, the badge level will be upgraded to six stars.
"Master Bernard, please look."
The staff behind the counter handed Bernard a book containing six-star missions.
Bernard flipped through the book and soon set his sights on one of the tasks.
"Eight hundred billion inkstones? The Phantom Soul trio couldn't accomplish it?"
He became interested and carefully looked at the content of the mission and related intelligence.
"Is this Jeger a member of the Bauhinia Army?" He frowned slightly. If they attacked the Bauhinia Army in the city directly, he would be in big trouble even if he was a member of the Four Divine Beasts family.
But then he discovered that the target was just Jager's other divine clones within the Joyce Family.
"That is not bad."
He returned the books to the staff behind the counter and said, "I'll take this job!"
