Chapter 20: The Ninth Master
When I got back to church at night, it was already dark, and after waiting for a long time, I didn't see anyone coming, and the Prophet, who was always here, didn't know where he had gone.
It always felt like something was wrong, but I couldn't say anything was wrong.
After looking at the time, Yoichi decided not to wait, and just walked out of the door, but bumped into an unexpected person.
Emperor Ant: "Why are you here?" ”
Ye Yi looked around, and saw a lot of soldiers and ants of the emperor ant clan surrounding him, and secretly said in his heart: "I have been tricked", and then turned around and ran away.
With a wave of the emperor's hand, the soldiers and ants on all sides surrounded the night, and the night could not advance or retreat, so they had to surrender.
The king ant asked again, "Why are you here?" ”
"Hmph..."
Yoichi obviously didn't want to answer his words, and asked knowingly.
The Prophet came out at this moment and said, "Lord Emperor Ant..."
"Prophet, this kid used to be your disciple." Emperor Ant pointed at Yeyi and said.
"I've heard people mention this, but this kid is indeed a backup candidate." The Prophet said politely.
Yoichi suddenly remembered that when he was learning the animation of ant language, he seemed to have seen emperor ants, but everyone didn't have the memory of that time.
"For such a candidate of poor character, the Prophet should still be cautious." The emperor ant glanced at Yeyi, just like an ordinary person with the same disgust as a beggar on the side of the road.
"The heirs of the next generation are to obey the mandate of heaven and act according to the will." The prophet said without being arrogant or humble, but his tone was still somewhat biased towards helping Yeyi speak.
"Please let him go, I also invited him to come to this matter today, but I didn't expect that there would be some misunderstanding with the adult."
The emperor ant obviously gave face to the prophet, and the soldier ants behind him also retreated, but I don't know who is more powerful when the prophet and the emperor ant fight.
The prophet and the emperor ant entered the church together, and Yeyi looked at the soldiers and ants at the door, and walked in with them.
The Prophet took a half step back and whispered to Yoyichi, "You wait before you come in." ”
Ye Yi stood at the door, guarding the door, and after a while, the prophet and the emperor ant came out, and Ye Yi hurriedly asked: "Lord Emperor Ant, I don't know if the death of Empress Jialan was related to you?" ”
Due to the basic setup of the system, when the player asks a specific question related to a mission, a specific NPC will inevitably say something related to the story, unless it is not related to the story or mission itself.
Yaichi didn't directly ask if it was the Empress Garan killed by the emperor ants, but asked if it had something to do with him, if he admitted it, then his side quest was completed, if he wasn't, then there was a certain probability of getting a new quest hint, but if he had nothing to do with the quest, then there was no way.
But if you ask directly if it was the Empress Garan who was killed by the emperor ants, in front of the prophet, the night is afraid that the emperor ants will turn their faces, after knowing this secret, he and the prophet will die here, and he can be resurrected, but the prophet cannot, but the prophet's setting is to know all the things of the ant clan, that is, a completely neutral NPC, so he will generally have no problems, but there is no need to take risks himself.
Emperor Ant said: "Back then, it's a long story, someone did come to tell me about the itinerary of the Empress Garan, and tried to persuade me to go to ambush her, but then for some reason, we did not send troops, as for the death of the Empress Garan, I don't know what the reason was. ”
"Thank you, sir." At one o'clock in the night, he clasped his fists and saluted.
After the emperor ant walked away, Yeyi looked at the prophet and said, "Does the prophet have something to say to me?" ”
When the emperor ant had not gone far, the prophet kept giving Yeyi an expression, but Yeyi didn't understand.
"Do you know why I told the last Empress Garan that the newborn heir was not fit to succeed the Empress?"
The Prophet sighed, his face filled with the vicissitudes of remembering the past.
"The Empress worked hard to give birth to Her Highness, but Her Highness is completely infertile."
Ding, the progress of the side quest "The Secret of Little Ants' Background" has been updated:
Requirements: Find drugs for baby ants that can restore fertility.
"So what kind of medicine can I get to treat it?" Yaichi asked eagerly.
The prophet shook his head: "No, this time I discussed with Lord Emperor Ant, this is also this matter, there are many rumors in the outside world, Lord Emperor Ant will take over from the Garan clan and become the new royal family, but Lord Emperor Ant doesn't want this, he just wants to be a prince who is idle." ”
It turns out that the emperor ant really has nothing to do with the death of the empress back then, and it seems that the previous speculation was wrong.
"Do you know what happened to the Empress back then?"
Yoichi asked the question again.
"Back then, the Empress was born with a daughter, and she was excited to go to the church to ask me to bless the newborn, but on the way to come, I met a Terran child, and they crushed the Empress's brigade to death on the spur of the moment."
Ding, the progress of the side quest "Secrets of the Royals" has been updated,
Requirements: Find the Ninth Master and learn the story of the royal family after the death of the Empress.
Ye Yi didn't even know who the ninth master was, but most of these tasks were based on a basis to find, and now in the small world, the information of many tasks would be sent to the door on the initiative.
Just then, a sneaky man walked in, and the Prophet said, "Looking for you." ”
Yaichi stepped forward and asked, "Are you?" ”
"The Nine Adults asked me to take you somewhere," the ant said embarrassedly, glancing at the prophet.
"Go ahead." The Prophet said.
So Yeyi followed him, and he didn't know where to go, Yeyi suddenly remembered that he was waiting for him in the church, and it turned out that the old man was the Ninth Master, so it was clear what his task was going to do next.
The sneaky worker ant took Yoichi to a place in the forest that didn't know east, west, north and south, and then pointed to it casually and said, "There." Then he walked away, seemingly scared to stay here too long.
Yeyi followed the direction he pointed to, looked for it, and suddenly found the figure of the little ant, stepped forward to touch it, and found that the ant was still alive, so he carried her back to the red ant's nest.
Ding, the official mission "Test of the Squadron Leader" has been completed.
The Red Ant Queen looked at the sleeping little ant and said to Yeyi, "Good job, keep up the good work." ”
Ding, the official position was promoted from "Red Ant Squad Leader" to "Red Ant Squadron Leader".
