Chapter 972: Discuss the palace rules with me?

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Yi went straight to the Demon Hunting Hall.

What he needs now is to accumulate merit and improve his title.

Naturally, he would not let go of the mission that was at the top of the bounty list.

Within a moment, he had arrived at the Demon Hunting Hall.

At the task desk, Xiao Yi explained his purpose, but the staff frowned.

"The first task?" The staff member frowned, "Where does the first task come from?"

"You, an ordinary monster hunter, where did you hear these rumors?"

"Huh?" Xiao Yi frowned and asked, "Don't you have this mission?"

The staff member said angrily, "The task bar is right next to it. The complete introduction of each task is on the task bar."

"Is there such a mission? Don't you know how to read it yourself?"

"If you have nothing to do, don't make trouble, step aside, I'm very busy."

"Huh?" Xiao Yi frowned and stepped aside.

The staff began to greet the next demon hunter.

The main hall of the Demon Hunting Hall is indeed much busier than the ordinary branch halls.

Xiao Yi stepped aside and looked at the task bar doubtfully.

After a long while, when he looked at the task bar, he felt surprised and confused.

There is really no top task on the taskbar.

"Impossible." Xiao Yi shook his head.

The Lord of Fangcun City said it himself, how could he be wrong?

This top priority...

Xiao Yi thought secretly.

After a while, he shook his head again and walked slowly back to the task table.

He didn't know what was going on, so he could only accept some ordinary tasks first, and then go back to the city lord's mansion and ask the city lord Fangcun.

"What's wrong?" When the staff saw Xiao Yi coming back, he said impatiently, "I told you, don't make trouble, I'm very busy."

Xiao Yi shook his head and said, "I'm just taking some ordinary tasks."

The staff member heard this and nodded, "Come and get your token."

Xiao Yi handed over the token.

The staff member took it and subconsciously asked, "What tasks do you want to take on? Young man, although you are wearing a mask, I can see that you are very young."

"You're young, it's better not to aim too high. The task of a demon hunter is not as easy as you think..."

"Huh?" The staff member suddenly stopped talking. He looked at the token and then at Xiao Yi.

"Yi Xiao?" The staff member frowned and looked at Xiao Yi.

"Young, with a mask on your face and cold eyes."

"Are you Zi Yan? The Yi Xiao who defeated Ran Qi, the genius of the Eighteen Prefectures, outside Fangcun City yesterday?"

Xiao Yi nodded.

"It's really you." The staff member's eyes lit up, and then he whispered, "Come with me."

"Huh?" Xiao Yi was confused.

But he still followed the staff into the back hall.

…

The back hall of the Demon Hunting Hall was originally a place where the palace staff handled official business and lived.

But now, there are bursts of noise here.

Warriors who are obviously not members of the palace appear here.

In front of these warriors, there was a middle-aged man with a solemn face.

"Deacon." The staff member came to the middle-aged man and bowed.

"What's the matter?" the middle-aged man asked in a deep voice. He glanced at Xiao Yi beside him, frowned and asked, "Who is this?"

The staff member replied, "Deacon, this is the demon hunter who has come to take over the first task."

Xiao Yi on the side looked happy and said secretly, "I really have the first task."

The middle-aged man nodded and looked at Xiao Yi, "I wonder which demon hunting team you are from? Or which deacon of my demon hunting palace?"

The staff member replied, "Deacon, he is just a lone demon hunter and has no title."

"A lone demon hunter? No title?" The middle-aged man was stunned, and then his face became angry.

"Bastard, who asked you to bring him in? The first mission has been classified as a secret. Is it something that an ordinary monster hunter can know?"

"Kick him out immediately."

"Besides." The middle-aged man looked directly at Xiao Yi and said coldly, "Listen to me and watch your mouth."

"If even half of this mission is leaked, don't blame my law enforcement team for being rude."

"Mind my mouth?" Xiao Yi's eyes turned cold.

Two cold gazes faced each other tit for tat.

A staff member on the side said quickly, "Deacon, don't be impatient. Of course, my subordinates will not dare to violate the palace rules."

"My subordinate brought him here because I judged that he is qualified to participate in this mission."

"How to judge?" the middle-aged man asked.

"His name is Yi Xiao." The staff member answered concisely and to the point.

"Yi Xiao?" The middle-aged man frowned, as if he remembered something, and asked in surprise, "That madman who has been sweeping through the monster forests for more than a month?"

"The Ziyan who automatically recognized his master after being ordered by Lord Bing?"

"Exactly." The staff member nodded.

The staff member only said the word "Yi Xiao", and the middle-aged man recognized Xiao Yi's identity.

It is not difficult to imagine that at this moment, the reputation of Yi Xiao in the square inch area is definitely not low.

"Okay, then just stay." The middle-aged man nodded.

"My subordinates excuse themselves." The staff member bowed and quickly retreated.

Xiao Yi took a look around. If he guessed correctly, these warriors gathered here should be the famous demon hunting teams and demon hunting masters in the square inch area.

As for the middle-aged man in front of me, the staff called him ‘Deacon’.

But as far as Xiao Yi knows, those who can participate in and be responsible for confidential tasks must at least hold the title of chief deacon.

In other words, this middle-aged man is a chief deacon in this main hall.

For a long while, the middle-aged man said nothing more.

Xiao Yi frowned and said in a deep voice, "I wonder what the deacon is waiting for?"

The middle-aged man replied, "Waiting for someone."

"Waiting for someone?" Xiao Yi frowned and asked, "Can you let me take over the task first?"

"What? Are you in a hurry?" the middle-aged man said with an unhappy expression.

"Yes." Xiao Yi nodded, "I'm in a hurry."

"Just tell me the task content, restrictions, location and completion time."

The middle-aged man shook his head, "No, you can only wait."

"This mission is not a casual one."

"Those present are all famous demon hunters and demon hunting teams in our area, as well as some powerful warriors."

"They are waiting too, and you can only wait."

"Okay." Xiao Yi said coldly, "They will wait while I accept the mission and leave first."

"You bastard, what did you say?" All the demon hunters on the side suddenly became angry.

The middle-aged man shook his head and glanced at Xiao Yi, "Don't mess around. Either wait here, or you can leave."

Xiao Yi's eyes were cold, "Deacon, do you mean to refuse me to take over the task?"

"No." The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "It's just that according to the palace rules, you are not qualified to take on this task alone."

Xiao Yi sneered, "According to the palace regulations, the task is released for the demon hunter to complete."
