Chapter 695 - 658: Traveling to Divine Punishment City Together
Before long, the bustling construction site of Hydra Fortress arrived. Amidst the usual fervent cheers, the villagers rushed to unload cargo, with all sorts of construction scaffolding, cables, chains, shovels, axes, hammers, pile drivers, pulley hoists, wheelbarrows, and other complete sets of equipment tools available.
Faced with such exquisite tools, not to mention the villagers who had been trapped here for many years with productivity levels close to a Primitive Society were overjoyed, even Da Fei couldn’t help but be awestruck. It’s just a game, and yet the production tools are made so detailed that a player could probably become a qualified construction worker in reality after playing through the tool set.
In any case, leave them to slowly transport the tools, and let’s start the meeting now.
So the Old Village Chief, his grandson Little Bilbo, the supervising Dark Elf Female Hero Miss Fu’er, all gathered on the deck, while Da Fei took out the Nightmare Crystal, Nightmare Horn, and Horror Nightmare Diagram to show everyone, and recounted his and Catherine’s battle against the Nightmare in Divine Punishment City, and the experience of accepting the mission from the Angel Leader.
Everyone was astonished for a moment.
What a load of astonishment! Actually, for players playing the game, whatever they’ve done is, of course, known by the system, so right now everyone is just acting as if they are unaware, therefore players don’t need impressive eloquence, it’s enough to just bring up the event, and the system will naturally push the plot forward. It must be said, this is the charm of high-level intelligence games. After playing for a long time, it really can blur the distinction between game and reality for players.
In sum, Da Fei started to conclude: "So that’s how it is. Everyone, feel free to discuss and express your opinions."
The Old Village Chief was the first to applaud: "As expected of Lord City Lord, intelligent and valiant, advancing to a Great Crusader within a day is simply incredible! I don’t know how many people can reach Lord City Lord’s level within a thousand years, but I do know there weren’t many such people a thousand years ago..."
Little Bilbo followed suit immediately: "It just shows that Lord City Lord is a rare genius that comes once in thousands of years!"
Oh my, the plot has indeed been pushed forward, and it produced a pair of flatterers, both old and young! Although I enjoy listening, can we get some more substantial stuff at the crucial moment?
Selvia incredulously said: "I cannot believe that Miss Catherine would also be able to hold office as a Crusader of the Holy Court. I thought pirates were not eligible for such positions."
Hey, hey, that’s not the point, okay? Da Fei could only give a dry laugh: "This is a hero regardless of origin, and the Angel on top are truly wise."
Miss Fu’er shook her head: "Lord City Lord, regarding the Nightmare Space, I have absolutely no concept of it, so I really can’t offer any opinions, please forgive me."
Tachiusu also sighed: "The Dream Space, this kind of non-material domain, is indeed too mystical and beyond my comprehension, I’m sorry."
Well, as expected. Da Fei nodded: "No worries."
Elena let out a long sigh: "My Lord, forgive me, but I have no idea what cards and chess that my Lord mentioned are."
Huh? Dark Elves haven’t played cards and chess? Isn’t their cultural taste a bit what...? Da Fei then helplessly gave out a deck of cards to Elena: "This is Poker, go play it when you’re free."
Elena smiled: "Thank you, my Lord."
Wahaha, can’t miss any opportunity to get closer to a beautiful Vice Hero. Right, since I’ve given Elena one, might as well give Little Bilbo one too.
Da Fei then tossed another deck to Little Bilbo: "Take it and play!"
Little Bilbo was overjoyed: "Thank you, Lord City Lord! Although I can’t help much on this matter, I will definitely do everything I can to serve you in the future!"
Hahaha, that’s exactly the effect I wanted, can’t miss the chance to win hearts by giving them what they love! There will be plenty of opportunities for you to serve our City Lord in the future.
At this moment, the only one who hadn’t spoken, Anlicia, was enthusiastically flipping through the hexagonal Nightmare Crystal.
Da Fei had no choice but to ask: "Miss Anlicia, I heard that some Great Druids in the Kingdom are proficient in the Jade Dream. I wonder if we could ask them to help develop and transform it?"
Anlicia shook her head and said seriously: "That won’t do. The Great Druids known for their mastery of the Jade Dream are all in a state of long-term seclusion and dreaming, and their status in the Kingdom is aloof and transcendent. Even the King has to treat them with great respect and cannot disturb them lightly, let alone us."
Old Village Chief also chimed in, "That’s right, the Great Druids won’t easily make an appearance. I only remember them taking action once a thousand years ago during the earth-shattering Solar Eclipse War. Their power is almost divine!"
Da Fei was stunned on the spot: "No way? Then what do we do?"
Anlicia chuckled, "Lord City Lord, I have no concept of what this Nightmare Space you’re talking about is like, let alone how to develop it! Can this artifact really transport people into the Nightmare Space? Should we go and investigate?"
Da Fei couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Are you sure you’re not just getting playful and wanting to check it out for fun?
Wait a second, Da Fei suddenly had a thought. Under normal circumstances, it seems that only heroes with a Crusader’s exam certificate can reach Divine Punishment City through the Knight Order’s Teleportation Array. But now it’s different, with this Divine Artifact, I can casually form a group with my family, wife, along with assistants and juniors to enter the Nightmare Space, then through a Space Gate of the Nightmare Space reach the Divine Punishment City!
By the time that happens, with many people on my side, plowing through the Despair Plain a couple of times, perhaps we could all advance to be Crusaders without needing the exam certificates? Even if we can’t, it doesn’t matter; we’ll just treat it as a sightseeing trip for prestige points, and by the way, complete the quest with the Sea Soul Staff!
Da Fei immediately made up his mind and said, "Great, let everyone witness it, let’s all go together!"
Bilbo was surprised and delighted, "Lord City Lord, can I go too?"
Da Fei smiled, "Of course! It’s a good opportunity for you to see the world. By the way, Old Village Chief, you don’t mind, do you?"
Old Village Chief laughed heartily, "Having the honor to follow Lord City Lord into battle is Bilbo’s privilege. I have no objections. In that case, I will stay behind to guard the village."
Miss Fu’er also said, "Lord City Lord, I cannot leave the construction site for a moment, so I’m very sorry."
Da Fei laughed, "No problem, no problem, everyone has their own duties!"
Anlicia smiled, "Lord City Lord, it seems that this Divine Artifact can only be used at night. It’s still early before nightfall, do we need to make any preparations?"
Da Fei replied without hesitation, "Of course we need to get ready for battle! Anyway, since nightfall is still a while away, let’s steer the ship back to Radiant City first, I’ll take the opportunity to get some things done."
Old Village Chief laughed and said, "Then I won’t delay Lord City Lord anymore, Miss Fu’er and I will disembark now." Saying this, Old Village Chief took out a flute that looked like white jade and handed it to Bilbo, earnestly admonishing him, "I’m officially giving you this flute now. You must perform well!"
Bilbo solemnly replied, "I will, Grandpa!"
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched, could this mean equipping the grandson with a powerful weapon before the battle? Great! Then I must take the chance to have a glorious battle!
Thus Da Fei, full of spirits, waved goodbye to Old Village Chief. The Flying set sail to return home. (To be continued.
