Chapter 90: The Calm Before the Storm
There was no such place as the central hall in Heavenly Mandate City before, but on the day that Qianyunyue and they returned to Heavenly Mandate City, a group of NPCs came to this city, and they claimed to be the people of Tianyun Industry and Commerce, that is, the people who were in charge of handling adventurer-related matters in the central halls of the major main cities before, and they transformed the City Lord's Mansion into a new city management center hall and started a new operation.
After being rescued by the player, most of the people in the rivers and lakes who were arrested by Ji Yingtian left the city, and some people continued to live in Heavenly Mandate City, such as Yan Shibai who opened a restaurant and lived comfortably. The players also found a new place to start rebuilding the guild, and in just a few days, this Destiny City was made impressive.
There was no movement on the part of the Protoss for the time being, Qian Yunyue originally thought that the Protoss would let the army of the Four Kingdoms crusade against them, but thinking about it, it should be impossible, the army of ordinary people could not beat their adventurers, speaking of which, he somewhat understood why when Dongsheng was in turmoil before, almost the total number of troops in the whole country was only tens of thousands, which should be the result of the Protoss's deliberate control to prevent the human race from having a strong force.
"This city is quite lively right now." Qian Yunyue looked at the pedestrians coming and going outside the window, in addition to Ling Ziyan and them, there were also three people from the Night Wind Cloud Guild, who were sitting in Yan Shiba's restaurant for dinner at this moment.
"Could the Heavenly Fortune Chamber of Commerce be a person from the God Realm?" Qin Yaoye now likes to associate everything with the God Realm.
"This is unlikely, since the God Realm is trying to find out our details, then this Tianyun Industry and Commerce is definitely not an organization of the God Realm, but it will not be an ordinary civil organization, they know everything about the player very well." Qian Yunyue shook her head.
"Probably just a simple computer program, aren't you thinking too much?" Qiushui is still a gobble-up look.
"They should be people of this world, if it's just a computer program, wouldn't it be more normal to make a system announcement directly and then appear out of thin air?" Tang Shaofeng also felt that this group of people was strange, if the system operated independently, then after the system announced the establishment of a new main city, these NPCs should have appeared, but they came from outside a few days later.
Regarding the origin of these people, Qian Yunyue already had a hypothesis in her heart, but she still needed a chance to confirm it. He invited the Night Wind Cloud Guild over this time for something else. "Brother Tang, have you heard of the Chosen One?"
Tang Shaofeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled, since he saw Qian Yunyue using the Xuanyuan Sword that day, he had been looking for an opportunity to talk about it, but he didn't expect Qian Yunyue to take the initiative now.
"Well, I'm the one who got the inheritance of the Chosen One." Tang Shaofeng nodded. "But neither of them is."
"Don't Miss Ye and Miss Qin also have artifacts?" Qian Yunyue was a little puzzled, he also thought that the hidden professions with artifacts were all chosen children.
"Although I have an artifact, I am not the chosen one, this sun-shooting bow was found in a ruin, and this hidden profession is also due to the effect of the artifact, and it has not been inherited." Ye Yanyun shook his head.
"I'm pretty much the same." Qin Yaoye echoed.
"I see." Qian Yunyue suddenly said, speaking of which, the descendants of the Chosen One are not necessarily players, for example, Feng Dingwu, the descendant of the Sword Master, is an NPC, but I originally thought that the Chosen One was such a great existence, but now it seems that it is not exactly like that.
"It's still a thousand brothers, your Xuanyuan Sword is an authentic ancient artifact, and you also have a demon refining pot, like mine, this broken dragon tooth is only classified as an artifact because of the powerful material." Tang Shaofeng exclaimed.
"It's already pretty good." Ling Ziyan pursed her lips, "I really want to have an artifact as a weapon." ”
"Is Miss Ling also the Chosen One?" Tang Shaofeng heard the meaning of Ling Ziyan's words.
"I'm not even a weapon." Ling Ziyan said angrily.
"Speaking of which, I was curious before." Ye Yanyun looked at Ling Ziyan, "Every time I get close to you, I feel a very comfortable breath, is it because of the unique jade pendant on your body?" ”
Ling Ziyan nodded and showed them the Holy Spirit Jade Pendant.
"You're super powerful, it's simply an artifact of protracted warfare." Tang Shaofeng exclaimed. "Besides, summoners originally relied on spirit beasts to fight, what use do you want weapons, just have powerful spirit beasts."
"Don't mention the spirit beast, I'm angry when I talk about it, I originally thought that this martial arts conference could get a reward to get a new spirit beast, but I didn't get anything." As soon as Ling Ziyan mentioned the spirit beast, she didn't get angry.
"Cut, a group of bigwigs are modestly showing off here, which is really envious, jealous and hateful." Qiushui put down her chopsticks, lay on the chair and let out a sigh, a group of people patronized and chatted, and she was already full.
Liu Rumei has been sitting quietly next to her, not saying a word, just smiling at the heated discussion of the crowd, she has not felt such an atmosphere for a long time, in the time of the moon, except for leveling is in a daze in the room, she has little interest in becoming stronger, as long as there is an environment that can make her relax.
In the next three days, everyone is desperately leveling, due to the high experience value of the monster, the diligent 6-person team can still upgrade 1-2 levels per day on average, and the newly opened area of the Fighting Spirit Tower is just a pure leveling field, and there is nothing else special. The four of them bought a new big house in the city to live in, and they had a new home, in addition to daily leveling, they also went to play several dungeons, and replaced the equipment on Rumei and Qiushui with immortal level.
"That's not enough." Qian Yunyue is still a little worried, the level of the players is uneven, even if everyone is promoted to level 50, it is estimated that it is still not enough in front of the army of the god realm, they need more powerful equipment to make up for the gap in combat power, but the number of artifacts is already scarce, it seems that we can only hope that there will be better immortal-level equipment.
He himself no longer has props that can greatly improve his attributes like the Qianlong Pill, if a particularly powerful enemy comes, even if he joins forces with Tang Shaofeng and them, it is estimated that it will not be as easy as last time, he is considering whether to change to a sub-profession and try refining medicine by himself.
"Ding Dong, congratulations to the player Feng Guanxia Yi for being promoted to level 60, and a new dungeon will be opened and the high-level immortal-level equipment will be updated, I wish you all a happy game."
"Oh? I really want to come to something. Qianyunyue sighed, this phoenix crown is really powerful, they are only level 57, although it is said that the guild has a certain experience bonus, but the efficiency of the people is indeed quite admirable.
"Otherwise, let's start a guild too." Ling Ziyan proposed, before, it was because it was just the two of them, and they felt that there was no need, but now there are four of them, and if there is a guild, first, they can have experience and game currency bonus rewards, and secondly, there is a guild warehouse that can be used to store some excess items, and another more important reason is that once Rumei and Qiushui join the guild, they will rightfully become their companions.
"It's okay to build a guild." Qian Yunyue also thinks it's good, but what is the best name for the guild? He's the worst at that.
"Hmph, you don't have to worry about this question, the hell knows what name you'll come up with, just the three of us can think about it."
Finally, after some discussion, the name of the guild was finally finalized as Purple Moon Ruqiu.
"Cut, I thought you could come up with a tall name, each of you take a word and put it together, and learn it from Ye Fengyun," Qian Yunyue looked disdainful.
"Hmph, I'm the president anyway, I'm willing." Ling Ziyan didn't bother to pay attention to Qian Yunyue, and directly pulled Rumei and Qiushui to go to the central hall to go through the formalities of creating a guild.
"Wait a minute, I'll go too, I just have something to do." Qian Yunyue followed them to the central hall, he wanted to investigate those people of Tianyun Industry and Commerce, for the origin of these people, he had a bold guess, although these people come and go are always those dialogues, and will not say superfluous words, but he still does not give up, today he is ready to use some extraordinary means.
Ling Ziyan and the others went through the formalities in the hall downstairs, while Qian Yunyue said hello and went directly to the second floor. On the second floor, there was only an old man who handled the transfer and a few staff members who sorted out the information, and when he saw Qian Yunyue's appearance, the old man couldn't help frowning slightly, but he immediately returned to normal, but his little action did not hide from Qian Yunyue's eyes.
"Old man, I'm here to disturb you again." Qian Yunyue hugged his fists and saluted, in fact, he had been here two or three times, but he didn't gain anything, but his intuition told him that this old man must have some secret.
"Dear Brave, you have reached the maximum level of your current class and do not need to advance any further. I hope that you will continue to eliminate demons in the future, benefit the people of the world, and wish you prosperity in martial arts. The old man was still reading the regular lines with a blank face.
"May I ask the old man, can you advance to the Protoss in the next place?" Qian Yunyue has already thought of the routine, so it depends on whether the other party can take the bait.
"Respected brave, I'm very sorry, I don't understand what you mean." The old man still repeats the regular lines.
"Then you should talk to yourself, old man." Qian Yunyue was not in a hurry, and continued to say slowly, "I have heard a rumor that eight thousand years ago, the human world was ruled by a very powerful race, but due to the mediocrity and corruption of the rulers, the people were miserable. Later, the gods known as the savior rebelled against them, and finally overthrew the rule of the Dark Dynasty and liberated the people, so that the human world could enjoy peace and prosperity......"
"That's nonsense!" Before the old man could finish speaking, he interrupted him excitedly, "The wolf ambition of the Protoss, stealing divine power under the guise of friendship and happiness, wantonly encroaching on the territory of my human realm, enslaving the people of my Shenzhou, and plundering a large number of rare resources like bandits, it is simply a group of beasts that have lost their conscience!" ”
"Oh...... I see. Qian Yunyue showed a smile that had succeeded in his tricks, although he didn't like this kind of tricky tricks, but if he wanted these people to reveal the truth, he really couldn't use some radical methods.
"Ahem......" The old man also found that he had lost his words, so he immediately reverted to his expressionless appearance.
"I believe that the old man already knows that the battle between us and the Protoss is inevitable, but then again, the human world could not resist the invasion of the Protoss back then, and now with our number of adventurers, I'm afraid it is just a mantis arm blocking the car, even if we can come back from the dead, but the gap in combat power is still obvious, if there is no bargaining chip to win, then we can only die in vain." Qian Yunyue no longer asked, but talked to herself again.
The old man didn't speak, just looked at Qianyunyue lightly.
"Actually, I'm just curious about what happened eight thousand years ago, and since the old man doesn't want to tell him, then I'll leave." Qian Yunyue bowed, then turned around and prepared to go downstairs.
"Brave man, please stay." The old man suddenly shouted and stopped Qianyunyue.
"What's the matter with the old man?" Qian Yunyue turned her head to look at the old man.
"Perhaps...... It's time. The old man's eyebrows tightened, and he seemed to have made a lot of determination, "The old man doesn't know how Your Excellency perceived our existence, in fact, Your Excellency doesn't need to be forced to force each other, and when the time comes, you will naturally know everything, originally we thought that the battle with the Protoss would not come so soon, maybe everything was providential." ”
