"Lord, thank you for your generosity. If there are no other orders, I will take my leave now." Liu Siyi placed a hand on his chest and bowed slightly.

"Your ability to complete the mission so quickly shows that you are very capable. I do indeed have other missions, but I wonder if you are willing to accept them." The Witch Lord's voice returned to calm as she spoke slowly.

"I am willing to accept the mission and will do my utmost to complete it." Liu Siyi spoke loudly, wanting to show his determination.

A series of missions! It must be a series of missions!

Anyone who has played games knows about series of missions. These missions usually start simple, but as the character's level and strength increase, the difficulty of the missions also increases, and the rewards naturally become better and better. In the end, even if not a divine artifact, at least something like a purple set or a quasi-divine artifact is possible.

Liu Siyi's heart was already stirring. Divine artifacts of that grade were not to be considered, as he didn't even know if the other party had them, but some top-tier and practical equipment and treasures, the other party should not be lacking, right?

"Magicians of all races conduct various experiments, and we witches are no exception. My mission is to hope that you can bring me some experimental specimens. For example, a vampire's heart, a magic eye, Medusa's eyes, a hellhound's head, a dragon blood lizard's blood, a shadow spider's eyes and venom. If you can bring me a bone dragon's soul fire, a magma dragon's flame core, a bloodthirsty lion scorpion's tail, or the blood and scales of black and red dragons, any part of these high-level beings will do." The Witch Lord calmly listed her mission, while Liu Siyi's frown deepened.

Vampires are a fourth-tier unit of the Undead race and appear in groups; magic eyes and Medusas are third and fourth-tier units of the Dungeon, also living in groups, especially Medusa's eyes, which can petrify enemies; hellhounds are third-tier units of the Hell Devils, and their whereabouts are unknown; dragon blood lizards are fourth-tier units of the Dark Elves, or the mounts of fourth-tier elite units, the Dragon Blood Lizard Knights; shadow spiders are also fourth-tier units tamed by the Dark Elves.

As for bone dragons, which belong to the Undead, magma dragons to the Dwarves, black dragons to the Dungeon, and red dragons to the neutral units of the Dungeon, these are all powerful seventh-tier beings. Only the bloodthirsty lion scorpion is a sixth-tier unit evolved from the Dungeon. Such powerful opponents are truly beyond his current capabilities.

Moreover, these are all creatures of the underground world, and Liu Siyi's main development direction is still on the surface. Where would he find the time and energy to do these things?

"By the way, you are a human. If you can bring me some high-level creatures with special abilities from the surface world, it will also count as completing the mission." As Liu Siyi was calculating in his mind, the Witch Lord continued, "Of course, if you can bring a living seventh-tier unit, I will give you a fourth-tier treasure as a reward. As for the others, the more and stronger you bring, the higher the reward I will give you."

"Which fourth-tier treasure is it?" Liu Siyi asked. If it was something useful and highly effective, then handing over a seventh-tier unit would be worth it. But if it wasn't very useful, it wouldn't be worth wasting time on. Moreover, a seventh-tier unit is already the strongest among regular units, and when used well, its effectiveness is not much less than a fourth-tier treasure.

"I understand your meaning. I have three fourth-tier treasures here, all of which should be useful to you. As long as you can bring me a living seventh-tier unit, you can choose any one of them." The Witch Lord spoke, and three treasures flew out of the castle and stopped in front of Liu Siyi.

The three treasures were a black magic book, a cloak with many stars, and a crystal ball.

Liu Siyi was very curious and excited. He immediately reached out, and the information of the three treasures instantly entered his mind.

Earth Elemental Summoning Manual: Fourth-tier treasure. If the hero does not have a summoning skill, it grants the hero a basic summoning skill. Summoning magic effects +100%, mana cost -50%; summoning earth elemental units, effects +20%, mana cost -10%, and summoned earth elemental units can coexist.

Elemental units are divided into four types: wind, water, earth, and fire. Their ranks are: first-tier small elementals, second-tier medium elementals, third-tier large elementals, fourth-tier giant elementals, fifth-tier elemental elders, sixth-tier elemental kings, and seventh-tier elemental lords.

Starlight Cloak: Fourth-tier treasure. Hero takes 70% less damage from fourth-tier and lower magic; all allied units' magic resistance +20%.

Fountain of Magic: Fourth-tier treasure. Hero's mana +50%, mana recovery speed +100%.

Liu Siyi was a bit disappointed. To be honest, only the Earth Elemental Summoning Manual had a significant effect. The other two treasures, although also very powerful, were only useful in specific situations.

The Fountain of Magic, although it increased mana and had a fast recovery speed, was more effective the stronger the user. It could even be considered a quasi-divine artifact, but for the current Liu Siyi, it could only turn a spell that could be cast twice into one that could be cast three times, making it somewhat redundant.

The Starlight Cloak's magic resistance was indeed extremely powerful, reducing all fourth-tier and lower magic damage by 70%. After the remaining magic damage was further reduced by the hero's own magic resistance, the damage was negligible. Whether facing a mage unit or a mage hero, it could almost guarantee invincibility.

However, it was only effective against mage units. Although Liu Siyi's future development would also involve facing mage units, he would almost never fight heroes, so the Starlight Cloak's strongest effect would not be fully utilized.

Moreover, the Witch herself is a mage unit, and the fact that she could produce a treasure that specifically counters witches indicates that it is useless against the Witch Lord. Don't forget that there are also fifth-tier, sixth-tier, and seventh-tier magics.

As for the Earth Elemental Summoning Manual, Liu Siyi really wanted it, and it only required a seventh-tier unit in exchange, making it a very good deal.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Liu Siyi's Wisdom skill must be upgraded to advanced. Only then can he summon a seventh-tier Earth Elemental Lord, otherwise, exchanging a seventh-tier unit would not be worth it.

Summoning earth elemental units' effects +120%, mana cost -60%, not including the basic summoning skill's effect. For example, if it originally cost 100 mana to summon a firebird, now it only costs 50 mana to summon 2 firebirds or 40 mana to summon 2 Earth Elemental Lords, and the number of Earth Elemental Lords can stack, which is very powerful.

According to the effect, it is 2.2 units, but the 0.2 is not enough to summon a complete unit, so only two can be summoned.

In actual combat, the role of earth elemental units compared to firebirds has its own strengths. Firebirds are flying units with high speed, while Earth Elemental Lords, although slower, fit the tactics of mages. When facing non-flying units, Earth Elemental Lords can be the main force, with mages as support, making them very effective.

Actually, Liu Siyi wanted the Elemental Summoning Manual even more. Could anything outspeed a Wind Elemental Lord with a speed boost? Could anything break through the defense of an Earth Elemental Lord? And there are also Lightning, Water, and Fire Elemental Lords, which are absolutely balanced in attack and defense. Moreover, summoned units do not need to worry about death...

There are too many benefits, but it's just a thought.

Liu Siyi secretly rated the three fourth-tier treasures. The Starlight Cloak was just a regular fourth-tier treasure. As for the other two, the Earth Elemental Summoning Manual was definitely a top-tier fourth-tier treasure, and the Fountain of Magic's effectiveness depended on the user. The stronger the user, the more effective it was, and it could even be considered a quasi-divine artifact.

Liu Siyi already had a quasi-divine artifact, as only treasures containing the power of law were considered quasi-divine artifacts. Other treasures, no matter how powerful, were at most fourth-tier treasures.

The fact that the other party had taken out such treasures proved her sincerity, but no matter what, he had to wait until he had the treasure in hand.

"It seems you have agreed to my mission." As Liu Siyi was thinking about the effects of the three fourth-tier treasures, the Witch Lord's calm voice sounded again, "I don't care how you do it, as long as you can bring me a living seventh-tier unit. I won't say more. You can leave now."

"Yes, Lord." Liu Siyi placed a hand on his chest again and then turned to leave.
