Through the relentless efforts of Su Yu and the priests of the Holy Temple, they finally collected 106 drops, which is a little over 10 portions of [Tina’s Blood].
The game setting and the real world are a bit different.
In the real world, 1 milliliter approximately equals to 20 drops of blood, whereas in the game, the volume of [one drop of blood] approximates to 1 milliliter.
Thus, 106 drops is equal to 106 milliliters, which is far less than what Tina lost in the entire battle, with the rest being lost.
“But it’s okay,” Su Yu looked at Tina, eyes burning with intensity, “we still have a long way to go in the main storyline! Moreover, as a warrior, Tina is sure to fight. We won’t have to worry about not being able to collect fresh blood!” “What’s wrong with you?” Tina felt uneasy under Su Yu’s gaze.
“Nothing, Tina,” Su Yu walked over, giving her shoulder an affectionate pat,
“Now that you’ve defeated Nemesis, what’s your next step?”
“Of course, I want to confront the Legion commander and get her permission to let me join the Legion with Anna!” Tina clenched her fists.
“Alright, I’ll go with you.” Su Yu nodded.
After leaving the main Colosseum, the ninth phase of [Centaur’s Lingering Feelings] ended, and the tenth phase officially began.
However, the tenth phase of the quest wasn’t as family-friendly, but rather carried a touch of tragedy.
At the entrance to the grand Colosseum, the commander of the Unicorn Knights, Grace, had been waiting for a long time.
“Tina, I’ve given it serious thought, I can’t let you join the knight order with a regular horse,” said the middle-aged Grace, her face stern.
“Why! I clearly defeated Nemesis!” Tina was on the verge of breaking down.
“For the discipline and glory of the Unicorn Knights! The addition of a common horse will certainly affect the combat capacity of the entire unicorn herd!”
“But… ”
Tina and Commander Grace began a lengthy argument.
In the end, Grace played her trump card: “Now, the rebels have reached Imperial City, Goldfinch, and the Empire is in grave danger. The Unicorn
Knights might be the Empire’s last hope!”
“And Tina, you’re the one who can lead the Unicorn Knights to glory in the future! For your future, and for the future of the Empire, can you let go of this ordinary horse?”
“Alright… okay.”
In the face of reality, Tina finally chose to submit and was forced to part with Dima.
At the entrance to the Warrior Guild.
At this original starting point, under the witness of the Warrior Supervisor Quinn, Tina handed Dima to Su Yu.
“Nemesis, from now on, she’s in your hands. I hope you’ll treat her well,” Tina handed over Dima’s reins to Su Yu, her expression dim.
Dima, too, sensed that she was about to part with her old master, and hung her head discouraged.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her,” Su Yu assured.
At the same time, the game prompt appeared in a timely manner.
“Ding! Congratulations on completing the rare hidden mission [Centaur’s
Lingering Feelings], earned 2000 Experience Points, [Village Good Horse] x 1.”
The Experience Points rewarded for the quest were quite substantial, Su Yu was now level 12 and needed 14000 Experience Points to level up, 2000 Experience Points represented one-seventh of his experience bar.
As for the rewards from the whole hidden quest, besides Experience Points, the earlier phases of the quest gave mostly equipment and spiritual energy coins. What brought about significant improvement to Su Yu was the golden [Village Good Sword] and 10 portions of [Tina’s Blood].
But after all the twists and turns, Dima was back in Su Yu’s hands.
However, Dima, after being strengthened by Warcraft blood, was no longer the thin mare she used to be.
“Then, I should go. See you next time if fate allows!”
Tina shed a couple of tears, looking dejectedly at the street to the north.
“Wait!” Su Yu called out to her.
“What’s up?” Tina turned around.
“Let’s talk about this at your place.” Su Yu replied.
What Su Yu intended to do, of course, was to complete the first phase of the main storyline, which required visiting Tina’s home in Orleans City, specifically at 213 Pinecone Street. “Go to my place?”
Could it be that Nemesis is hinting…
Tina seemed to have a sudden realization and blushed slightly.
But she didn’t refuse and took Su Yu’s hand generously: “Let’s go, Nemesis, you’re welcome to visit my home!”
Su Yu paused in surprise, it seemed Tina had misunderstood something.
But he didn’t clarify and allowed Tina to lead him towards Pinecone Street.
After the pair walked away.
Watching their retreating figures, Quinn, who had been ignored on the side, crossed her arms and sighed: “Ah! Young people these days! They are becoming more and more open-minded.”
“Should I… join them?” A thought suddenly surfaced in her mind.
Quinn was startled by her sudden thought and hastily slapped herself: “What am I thinking?”
Then she blushed and fled into the Warrior Guild.
213 Pinecone Street was Tina’s home in Orleans City.
It was a two-story white single-family villa with a yard full of delicate flowers.
Tina had bought this house after she arrived in Orleans City.
During her time in Orleans City, Tina had worked hard and earned quite a sum of money.
With over 1000 spiritual energy coins she had earned, plus two hundred thousand given by her father, she finally bought this house.
“Nemesis, let me show you around my house!” Tina opened the door with her keys, meanwhile turning back to talk to Su Yu who was standing behind her.
“Okay… alright.” Looking at the blush on Tina’s face, Su Yu was at a loss for words.
But just as Tina set foot in the door, the blush on her face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a serious look.
Tina turned around, looking solemnly at Su Yu, “Hello, Nemesis! I’ve been in Orleans City for quite a while, but I’m only level 10 and still far from being strong. I must become stronger immediately!”
“The ‘Zanga Marsh’ to the west of the city is infested with a tribe of Hydra.
Their blood can make me stronger quickly! Will you help me eradicate them?” “Ding! Your main quest has been updated! [Orleans City’s Saintess (2/100)].”
“Quest requirement: Assist Tina in exterminating ‘Zanga Marsh’s Hydra Tribe, eradicate [Marsh Hydra] x 30, [Cave Hydra] x 30, [Bitter Tide Hydra (Elite)] x 5, [Marsh Hydra (Leader)] x 1.”
“Quest reward: Experience Points x 1000, [Traveler’s Ring (Rare)].”
Su Yu noticed the sudden change in Tina’s face and knew that it must have been due to the turn of the main storyline that he lost his chance to get closer to Tina.
He was a bit disappointed.
However, he came to play the game to enhance his abilities, not to woo girls, so he didn’t regret much.
There will be plenty of chances in the future.
“Let’s go, Tina. I will assist you in exterminating the Hydra tribe!” Su Yu took out his staff from his backpack..
