Chapter 314: Chapter 314: Tricking the Camp Boss
“Little girl, you have a keen eye. To understand summoning, you need a covenant. This is my contract token, you can visit me once every time you rise five levels. I will teach you skills at that time.” Colin Feathers, who was now free, said and handed her a token.
Ah puff…
Li Yao almost spat blood at her treatment. She didn’t even have to do a high-difficulty task to change jobs to elite. She didn’t even have to do tasks to learn skills, she could directly find them. The difference between people really is too big.
“Oh, oh, I got it. Uncle, do you need help with anything else?” Little Elves asked.
“Yes, take this necklace and go to a domed building in the eastern part of Dicelan with the appearance of an upper elf. Then use this necklace.” He said this with a deep sadness in his eyes: “Activate the necklace and if a banshee appears, kill her then use this Moon well water to purify her, letting her return to the embrace of the Moon God.”
“Uncle, you’re so sad, then who is this person that needs to be purified?” The Little Elves asked.
“It is my wife. She has been dead for ten thousand years.” Colin sighed: “During the great battle with the Demon Legion, I left my home town of Dicelan. And my wife was waiting for me at home. But the battle was too fierce, although I achieved victory, the world nearly shattered and my hometown was flooded by the catastrophe.”
“I was heavily injured and spent hundreds of years recuperating in the Emerald Dream before finding out that my hometown was no more. My city had turned into ruins filled with the spirits of my people. I wandered for a long time before finding out that my wife had turned into a Grudge Spirit. I struggled with the decision for ten thousand years before deciding to end her pain, and let her return to the embrace of the Moon God for release.”
“I don’t want to be the one to do it, nor do I want other people to help. And my wife was an Upper Elf, which you now call High Elves, you are the most suitable ones to do this. Would you be willing to help me?”
The Little Elves’ eyes had turned red, saying: “Of course we are willing, but is there no way to save her?”
“Perhaps the Moon God can, but why would the Moon God act for a mortal? That would break the rules. It would disrupt the order.” Colin Feathers had a look of helplessness in his eyes: “Young lady, you remind me of her when she was young. I believe that being purified by you is the best outcome.”
“I…” Little Elves looked back at Li Yao and said: “Boss, do you have a solution?”
Li Yao frowned and said, “This is difficult.”
Colin Feathers shook his head and said, “Accept the task.”
Li Yao replied, “But it’s not impossible.”
“Young one, you are too weak, you understand too little.” Colin frowned.
“I don’t understand much, if you want to resurrect someone without a physical body, besides a god, it’s impossible for anyone else to do that. But if you want to awaken her normal consciousness, there is hope for her to become one of the forsaken.”
Li Yao had already come up with a plan and quickly spoke up.
“To turn into a forgotten undead like the forsaken?” Colin Feathers’ heart jumped, and he suddenly got lost in active thoughts: “I have no relationship with the forsaken queen.”
Higher level awakening ceremony was in the hands of the queen, no one else dared to get involved in it.
“I just wanted to ask, do you want your wife to transform into a banshee who has a self-consciousness? As for the awakening, I will find a way.” Li Yao said.
“You, youngster, I’m not looking down on you, but you probably can’t even get into the Royal District, let alone awaken my wife. She had been mentally chaotic for a thousand years, only the queen or a high-level banshee can awaken her. Why do you…” Colin shook his head.
“Because I am the successor of the queen, a Dark Ranger.” Li Yao activated his passive skill.
“There may be a few Dark Rangers, but it doesn’t prove that you are her successor.” Colin Feathers still didn’t believe him.
“Well, how about this? If you don’t recognize this, I have no way of proving it to you, at least accept the purification task.” Li Yao grasped a flower, and the delicate tentacles shrouded the flower. In a blink of an eye, it turned into ash.
“Life deprivation, the touch of darkness.” Colin Feathers’ eyes suddenly brightened: “So you really are her successor.”
“Do you believe me now?” Li Yao smiled. After being reborn, he understood that tasks too could be variable and rewards could be negotiated, depending on one’s own methods.
The ancient Gods weren’t so rigid, there were plenty of occasions when NPCs tricked players in circles.
“What do you want then?” Colin Feathers asked seriously: “Although I am a small figure, I will absolutely not sell information.”
Li Yao laughed, but didn’t refute him; he said, “I am also a small figure who has no use for intelligence. My request is simple, I want this.”
Colin Feathers’ face changed and said, “You do have a discerning eye, but this is useless to you. The Flame Emblem, only a high-ranking Druid can use it.”
Li Yao whistled, and summoned the Fire Eagle, saying: “But it’s useful to my pet.”
The Flame Emblem, from the Fire Elemental Realm, is a kind of Flame Essence and contains a very unique power. It can enhance various attributes of a Druid after transformation.
But if it is used in modifying the Fire Eagle, it can turn the Fire Eagle Puppet into a real Fire Eagle, and the chance of evolving into a mid-level boss would also increase a lot.
Of course, Li Yao’s ultimate goal was to have the Flame Emblem used as a token to get into the headquarters. It wouldn’t be hard to depart from the valley for a few days while he himself could use the Flame Emblem as a token to enter the headquarters. This was his real objective, otherwise obtaining the water from Blue Moon Lake would be too difficult.
Li Yao’s original plan was too complex and dangerous, its practicality nowhere near this last-minute plan.
“If you can really do as you said, how does it matter if the Flame Emblem was given to you. Here is the task.” Colin was a decisive person. He eagerly wished to meet his wife who he had been parted from for a thousand years.
Rescuing Tina
Task Description: Seeing the hope to resurrect his wife, Colin asks you to kill the insane Tina and obtain the soul essence.
Task Requirements: Bring Colin to Undercity, have the senior banshee awaken Tina’s real consciousness.
Task Rewards: 20% experience, Flame Emblem, Colin’s goodwill.
Punishment for Failure: Level decreases by one, Colin’s disdain.
Li Yao looked at it, his reward was obviously different from the siblings. But having the Flame Emblem is enough.
The three bade farewell and left, the Little Elves asked, “Are you really the queen’s successor?”
“She’s a boss of the faction, do you think I dare to deceive her?” Li Yao laugh bitterly: “Get ready though, this Tina is at least a boss, maybe a middle-level or high-level one, she will definitely not be easy to deal with.”
“Haha, this time I will be mentioned in the bulletin by following the boss.” Little Elves cheered.
“Be careful.” Li Yao laughed bitterly, if Tina is really a boss, it certainly won’t be easy to deal with.
“It’s okay, I believe in you, boss.”
The two siblings suddenly got spirited…
