Chapter 41 – Mysterious Class Change Quest, Server-wide Quest
```
After the Small Holy Light Apocalypse Array was upgraded to a four-star skill, its range expanded to 25 meters.
Currently, the attack range for most ranged classes is around 20 meters.
Whether it's an Archer's arrow or a Mage's fireball or ice arrow, it's all the same.
Therefore, all fifteen members of the Heavenly Guild, including the ranged classes, stepped into the range of the Small Holy Light Apocalypse Array.
In the next second.
The same number floated above everyone's head:
-1200!
They didn't even know what happened and fell to the ground instantly.
The only thing they saw clearly was the holy white light glowing beneath their feet.
Then, under this white light, their Health Points dropped to zero in an instant.
The group was sent back to the resurrection point, all with bewildered expressions, feeling only one thing: utterly baffled!
They couldn't even be sure if it was Jiang Chen who did it.
Or if they had triggered some restriction within the main city.
……
At the street corner.
After Jiang Chen took down the group from the Heavenly Guild with one move, he triggered the main city's alarm mechanism.
In less than half a minute.
A squad of guards appeared out of nowhere and approached.
Nine guards in total, fully armored and armed, lined up neatly in front of Jiang Chen.
"No fighting within the main city. Violators will be executed!"
The leading guard captain shouted sternly.
Swish!
The eight guards behind him pointed their long spears at Jiang Chen in unison.
The imposing aura was overwhelming!
In the next second, they were about to charge.
At this moment, the system prompt appeared:
[Light of the Main City activated. Do you wish to exempt this judgment?]
"Exempt!"
Jiang Chen immediately thought.
Instantly, a layer of faint golden light appeared around him.
The guard captain's face changed, and he immediately shouted, "Hold!"
He raised his hand to stop the soldiers and walked up to Jiang Chen, respectfully saying, "Lord Mortal World, although you bear the glory of Giant Deer City, please refrain from fighting within the main city next time."
Jiang Chen nodded, "Understood."
"Sorry to disturb you."
With that, the captain led the guards away.
"Quite useful, but it's a pity it can only be used once a day."
Watching the light around him gradually fade, Jiang Chen felt a bit regretful.
"Now that I have the Mana Crystal Bottle, I should also prepare a Teleportation Stone just to be safe."
Without lingering, Jiang Chen crossed the street and headed towards a shop called [Worry-Free General Store].
The shop was located at the corner of the street, small in size and very simple inside.
There wasn't even a person inside, just a large open wooden box.
The box contained all sorts of strange items.
[Lantern: Used to illuminate dark areas, range of 10 meters, lasts for 12 hours. Price: 1 gold coin.]
[Cooking Pot: Used to cook various ingredients. In the hands of a chef, it can produce even more magical effects. Price: 5 gold coins.]
……
At the bottom of the sales list, Jiang Chen found what he wanted.
[Basic Teleportation Stone: Can teleport to the nearest safe zone. Disappears after one round trip. Price: 100 gold coins.]
"Let's buy two."
Jiang Chen directly paid 200 gold coins.
[You have obtained Basic Teleportation Stone ×2]
Although the Teleportation Stone was expensive and a one-time consumable, it could save a life in critical moments!
With these preparations done.
Jiang Chen took out the Mystery Class Change Book from his backpack and gently opened it.
[Do you wish to start the Mystery Class Change Quest?]
"Yes!"
Jiang Chen thought.
[You have started the Mystery Class Change Quest: The Scarlet Flame Disaster.]
[Quest Description: The Scarlet Flame Ancient Land south of Leaving Fire City is brewing a massive conspiracy under the influence of the Demon God. Please complete the tasks step by step to eliminate the danger.]
[Current Task: Please go to the Scarlet Flame Ancient Land and find the deserter "Yi Ding" to start the subsequent tasks.]
"This quest?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.
Jiang Chen had a deep impression of the Scarlet Flame Ancient Land.
Because a major event had happened there:
The indigenous people of the Scarlet Flame Ancient Land suddenly rioted and swept through Leaving Fire City.
This led to the destruction of the entire main city!
Countless players died.
It was also the first time everyone realized that even the main city could be destroyed!
Moreover, this riot continued to spread to other main cities.
Later, the system issued a national server quest to defend the main city. With countless players pouring in, the disaster was finally averted.
However, Leaving Fire City could never be repaired and became a desolate city.
"I didn't expect to get the quest to prevent this disaster in advance."
"In other words, the destruction of Leaving Fire City is not inevitable. The system has a countermeasure."
"But why was Leaving Fire City still destroyed?"
Jiang Chen pondered, muttering to himself, "Could it be that someone had received this quest before but failed, and didn't successfully prevent the disaster?"
After thinking for a while, Jiang Chen's expression became more serious.
Because this meant that the difficulty of this quest would be very high!
At this moment.
The system issued an announcement.
[National Server Announcement: Player "Moonlit Dance" has lifted the demon seal on Scarlet Flame Mountain. The national server quest "Resist the Demon Invasion" is now activated!]
Jiang Chen was stunned!
Because Scarlet Flame Mountain was located in the Scarlet Flame Ancient Land!
Moreover, the riot in the Scarlet Flame Ancient Land was related to Scarlet Flame Mountain in some ways!
However.
In the previous life, there was no "Resist the Demon Invasion" national server quest!
In other words, before the riot happened in the previous life, the demon seal on Scarlet Flame Mountain was not lifted!
At least, it wasn't lifted by a player.
Jiang Chen even speculated that the subsequent part of his class change quest might be to "prevent the lifting of the seal on Scarlet Flame Mountain" or something similar.
But now, the seal on Scarlet Flame Mountain had been lifted by a player in advance, and it had triggered a national server quest.
"Why did this happen? What changed?"
Jiang Chen frowned, feeling a headache.
However, for other players, this was a huge surprise.
The entire national server was in an uproar.
Because this was the first national server quest!
