The prompt tone faded.
Fang Yuan furrowed his brow slightly.
"An Orange Token!"
"And it's related to dragons!"
On the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield, dragons were among the top combat forces of the upper races.
One of humanity's strongest military branches included the Dragon Knights.
Yet to this day, no lord had truly recruited a Dragon Knight hero or the corresponding military units.
At most, they had obtained a few lesser dragons.
Even so, lesser dragons possessed top-tier combat power.
That was precisely why.
In everyone's understanding, any item with ties to dragons.
Basically represented power and rarity.
Fang Yuan had not expected the item he obtained from his blessing to be dragon blood.
And it was even a token.
A token represented a quest that could be unlocked.
An Orange Token represented an Orange Quest.
Combined with the special nature of dragon blood.
That meant the quest would be related to dragons.
The rewards would definitely be substantial.
But the danger would be high as well.
"I'll first see what quest this dragon blood can actually unlock."
He quickly took the dragon blood from his inventory and checked its panel.
Name: Dragon Blood Quality: Orange Function: Dragon blood shed by an injured epic dragon. Note: A great Dragon Slaying War once took place in the Northern Realm. A powerful evil dragon emerged from the mountains, and legendary Dragon Slayers surrounded it. They fought the evil dragon for ten months. The dragon's blood drifted down from the sky, and the Dragon Slayers disappeared alongside the evil dragon. Upon use, an Orange Scouting Mission will be unlocked to search for the missing Dragon Slayers and evil dragon.
"This!"
"It's actually a Scouting Mission."
Fang Yuan felt somewhat disappointed when he saw the note.
Among the quests unlocked by tokens, Scouting Missions were the most difficult to complete.
He needed to send a large army to search for clues in order to complete the quest.
They consumed an especially long time and a great deal of money.
Yet the rewards were uncertain.
Some Scouting Missions offered generous rewards, yielding a million gold coins in a single haul.
Others cost a million, only to end with a few human bones.
Their tremendous uncertainty had earned Scouting Missions the nickname "the exclusive domain of the lucky."
Only lords with exceptionally good luck dared to undertake them.
And even they could not guarantee good luck every time. A single failure could easily drag their territory down with them.
Thus, ordinary lords generally would not undertake them.
Even if they obtained a high-level token like this, they would choose to sell it.
Fang Yuan looked at the smooth drop of blood in his hand.
He shook his head helplessly.
"I can't afford to fool around with this right now."
"I'll put it away for now and deal with it later."
"I didn't expect my second blessing to yield such a useless token."
"Forget it. Blessings are just like draws. If this one doesn't work out, I'll wait for the next."
Fang Yuan put away the dragon blood in his hand.
At that moment, Lilith's voice came from outside the hall once again.
"Huh!"
"Why do I smell a trace of an evil dragon's aura?"
When Lilith entered, she saw the dragon blood Fang Yuan was about to put away.
"My lord, how did you get Red Dragon blood?"
Fang Yuan asked in surprise.
"You recognize this dragon blood?"
Lilith took the dragon blood and examined it for a while before shaking her head.
"I don't recognize this particular drop, but as a giant dragon of the evil faction, I still recognize the blood of a Red Dragon."
"This Red Dragon blood bears a trace of the Mist Rule."
"Unfortunately, I can't open it, so I can't track the Red Dragon."
"You'll have to analyze it yourself, my lord."
"If you can find the Red Dragon's lair, considering the wealth of a Dragon Lair."
"You'll immediately become the richest lord in the world."
But Fang Yuan said after hearing this:
"How could it be that easy? It's a Scouting Mission, and we don't even know the exact location."
"Let's put it away for now and talk about it when there's an opportunity."
"Oh, right. Lilith, did you dig up anything when you went treasure hunting?"
Lilith shrugged.
"I only dug up one treasure chest."
"I didn't open it this time. My lord, you can open it yourself."
As she spoke, she placed the treasure chest on Fang Yuan's panel.
Name: Fine Treasure Chest Purpose: Opening it might yield a treasure, but it might also release a monster.
"It can release monsters too?"
Fang Yuan turned to Lilith and asked.
"Of course. Mimic chests are monsters disguised as treasure chests. Low-level adventurers will be eaten in a single bite when they approach."
"There are also filthy goblins that hide inside treasure chests and ambush adventurers."
"But those are all minor tricks."
"With me beside you, my lord, open it without worry."
Fang Yuan nodded slightly, then lightly tapped it with his finger.
The treasure chest opened with a "click."
Ding! You opened a Fine Treasure Chest and obtained Unknown Map ×1, Gold Coins ×3,000, and Anubi's Letter ×1.
After the prompt faded, Fang Yuan examined the items he had obtained.
The first was the unknown map.
The moment he opened it, a prompt appeared.
Ding! Golden Flower Family Frontier map detected. Use it?
The unexpected voice left Fang Yuan momentarily stunned.
Then an incredulous expression appeared on his face.
"This unknown map is actually a map leading to the Golden Flower Family Frontier."
"I found it without even trying after searching everywhere."
"I thought it would be a long time before I could complete this quest. I didn't expect the clue to appear so quickly."
Fang Yuan clicked use without hesitation.
The map was quickly read by the Lord's Mark.
The location of the quest to rescue the Golden Flower Family was also marked on the map.
"The quest location is fifty kilometers northeast of my territory."
"That's a little far."
"We'll have to explore a large area along the way."
"And it's all mountainous forest shrouded in War Mist."
"No wonder this quest has a thirty-day time limit."
"I'm afraid it won't be easy to complete."
Lilith, who was beside him, saw Fang Yuan's thoughtful expression.
She took the map and examined it, discovering something as well.
"Huh, my lord."
"Could the place fifty kilometers away be the location of the next quest?"
Lilith knew about the second quest.
Fang Yuan nodded.
"It should be."
Lilith immediately continued, "Fifty kilometers away, and in the northeast. If my guess is correct, that area should be near the edge of the forest."
"There won't be any shortage of Monster Nests along the way."
"If you want to send troops there, my lord, you'll need to ensure an army of at least 2,000 soldiers."
"You'll also need to establish supply stations along the way. Otherwise, once you encounter a mist tide, an army entering the War Mist can easily get lost."
Lilith's reminder made Fang Yuan realize that if he wanted to open up the northeastern direction.
He would probably have to invest a huge amount of resources.
He sighed softly.
"Understood. We'll talk about it later."
"There's no rush for now. This quest lasts thirty days."
"Let's first look at the other items in the treasure chest."
The gold coins went without saying.
Three thousand gold coins were barely better than nothing to him now.
The last item was Anubi's Letter.
Fang Yuan took it out and glanced through it for a moment.
Could this letter be another new quest? he wondered.
With curiosity in his heart, Fang Yuan quickly opened Anubi's Letter and began reading.
A moment later.
Fang Yuan lowered the letter in his hand and muttered:
"A military station!"
"There's actually a military station in the northeast!"
"Wouldn't that be a Military Territory!!!"
