Chapter 18: The Angel of Atonement
Bite!
Just when Wang Ran was about to step into the portal,
The bamboo slip suddenly shook.
"During the training, the Watchmen Guild sent you an email." "The Watchmen Guild said that your application was approved, and asked you to report to the Watchmen's Guild as soon as possible to re-evaluate your strength. β
Wang Ran was stunned for a moment.
He's been training so hard these days that he's forgotten all about the watchman!
He wondered, "When was this email, why didn't you remind me earlier?" β
Zhu Jian replied, "The email came from five days ago. β
After a pause, it explained, "The training room is a special space where outside information cannot be entered, and mail does not enter your mailbox until you have just left the training room. β
Wang Ran pulled back the leg that had entered the door.
Earth time was now the early hours of the next day, and he was going back now with nothing to do, just in time to go to the Watchmen Society.
By the way, I met Akshina, and settled the last mission reward.
The speed of time in Akshina's world is much faster than that of the earth, and the earth is three years a day, and if something happens to Akshina, he doesn't know who to ask for a spring.
Wang Ran asked, "Can you teleport me to the Watchers Association of District 15?" β
Zhu Jian replied: "Chenghui, 10 Moda!" β
Wang Ran nodded indifferently.
In the next second, a translucent pillar of light enveloped him, teleporting him to the door of the Ward 15 Warden Association.
Compared to the last time he came, the Watchmen's Guild was much more lively today, and the hall was full of people.
"I integrated the third-order attributes, and I thought I could blend into the battle sequence, but it turned out to be just a logistics sequence."
"How good the logistics sequence is, this is a hell-level watch mission, if it weren't for the task reward being too rich, Lao Tzu wouldn't have come to do this life-saving work!"
"I checked the historical records, the last time the Watchmen Guild issued a hell-level watch mission was two thousand years ago, and the battle loss rate was as high as seventy-nine percent!"
Wang Ran walked into the Watchmen Association, and did not rush to ask the assistant about the audit strength, but stood in the hall curiously and listened to the discussion.
"The battle damage rate is so high? Then I'm not going! β
"Alas, if I don't go to the Hell Watch mission, I'll be kicked back to my own world by the World Hub, and I might as well die!"
"Actually, don't worry too much, after arriving at the place, be smart, open the door and run away when you find danger, and become the twenty-one percent of the survivors?"
"I think so too, and in the last hell-level watch mission, most of the people who died were people in the battle sequence, and there weren't many people in the logistics sequence."
"Wouldn't it be unfortunate to be selected for the battle sequence?"
"I heard that when you join the battle sequence, you can listen to the gods."
"Which god?"
"Really? I'm a little intrigued! β
"Just a few crooked melons and cracked dates, it's useless to listen to the gods, let's do logistics honestly!"
ββ¦β¦β
These people all participate in the quest for the quest reward, they line up in front of the portal, and go to different quest worlds in turn to contribute to the completion of the quest.
Wang Ran suddenly remembered that he only accepted the task, but did not check the task reward.
He summoned a small assistant.
He asked, "What is the reward for the Hell-level Watch mission?" β
The assistant replied: "The mission details have been sent to your personal terminal, please pay attention to check!" β
The words landed, and the bamboo slip shook.
Lines of words with a murderous atmosphere appeared on the bamboo slips.
[Mission Name: Gate of Calamity]
[Your Identity: Logistics Sequence 1899853554]
[Mission World: 03-9077]
[Mission content: Use psychic connection technology to drive a detection robot to reconnoiter intelligence]
γReward: 100~10,000 Mod/Da Coinsγ
[Mission Reminder: During the mission, the expenses incurred due to your stay in the other world will be borne by the District 3 Self-Help Committee, which can be reimbursed after the mission is over, or paid in advance by the District 3 Self-Help Committee, but you will not be able to open the passage back to the World Hub during the mission]
The minimum reward is 100 Mota, which is equivalent to 300 days of stay, and the cost of staying in the other world can be reimbursed, which is definitely a good deal for the people at the bottom.
"The maximum reward is only 10,000 Mota?"
Wang Ran was stunned for a moment.
But on second thought, it's just a logistical task, with low risk and low reward, and it makes sense to have fewer rewards.
Wang Ran said to the little assistant, "Help me contact Akshina, she is the task publisher of my last watch mission." β
The assistant replied, "I'm helping you get in touch!" β
Bite!
"Akshina accepted your request for video."
The virtual screen pops up.
In the picture, Akshina is wearing a crown and a royal robe, her face is ruddy, and she looks pampered.
Wang Ran said curiously: "You have become a king?" β
He remembered that when he went to Akshina's world to kill insects, the people there called Akshina a general, why did he even wear a crown in the blink of an eye?
"It's just the little king of the projectile land, it's not enough to worry about." Akshina humbly said, "My father was the last monarch of this world, and with your help, I put down the plague and inherited his throne as a matter of course. β
Wang Ran smiled: "Congratulations! β
He stayed in the world hub for seven days, more than two years have passed in Akshina's world, and the previous stubborn female general has now become the lord of a country with a scepter in her hand, and she is a meritorious empress who has taken the throne with the merit of suppressing the insect plague!
The world is impermanent!
But
Wang Ran couldn't look directly into Akshina's eyes when he thought of the previous simulation.
"Do you want to study my spring?" Aksina said with crooked eyebrows, "Just now, I just finished handling state affairs, and I can accompany you well." β
Wang Ran bowed slightly.
The assistant spoke up: "Akshina paid for you to open the portal and stay in the other world, and there is no additional charge for this teleportation. β
A door on Wang Ran's right lit up.
The time flow between the World Hub and Akshina's side was 1:100, and Wang Ran didn't want Akshina to wait too long, so he strode to the door, opened the door and stepped in.
The scent of roses wafts in the air, the walls are inlaid with agate and precious stones, and the snow-white carpet is laid on the gold floor, and there is an air of luxury and pleasure.
Wang Ran exclaimed: "This place is good! β
He had never lived in such a large and luxurious house in his two lives.
Akshina said respectfully, "If you like, I can have someone transform this place into your palace, and you are welcome to come and visit at any time." β
Wang Ran waved his hand: "No need. β
If he wants to live in a palace, he can ask the Apostle of Dawn to build one for him, and with his financial resources, the palace built in the end is definitely countless times more luxurious than this one in Akshina!
It's just not necessary.
"Have you eaten yet?" Akshina asked cautiously, "I would like to invite you to dinner and thank you for your grace to save this world." β
"No, take me to the spring now." Wang Ran shook his head and said, "The Watchmen Association has issued a hell-level watch mission, and I'll report on it later." β
A faint hint of disappointment crossed Akshina's eyes.
"Your Majesty! I think I hear it."
Then
A maid walked in.
She saw Wang Ran,
I was stunned for a moment.
The king's bedroom, how can there be a man?!
"Stand down!"
Akshina scolded.
The maid shuddered a few times, then bowed her head and withdrew as if she had seen nothing.
After the maid left, Akshina said apologetically: "I'm sorry, she's new, I took her with me because her father died in battle with me, but she acted too recklessly, I'll send her home later!" β
Wang Ran waved his hand: "No need. β
He didn't think there was anything wrong with the maid coming in, and besides, if Akshina really wanted to send the maid home, she wouldn't tell him about the maid's background.
Akshina pursed her lips slightly.
Wang Ran urged: "Let's go." β
Although two years have passed in Akshina's world, he still feels that something is wrong with Akshina.
Akshina raised her fingers to her lips and raised her snow-white neck, letting out a sharp whistle from her mouth.
Woo!
A tyrannical spiritual coercion loomed over from afar, followed by a large shadow that moved rapidly.
Wang Ran turned his head to look out of the balcony and saw a red-skinned dragon circling around the palace.
He asked, "Is this your pet?" β
It's kind of handsome......
I almost forgot that Akshina was a dragon knight!
Aksina smiled, "Its name is Elena, and it's my combat partner. β
Wang Ran said expectantly: "Shall we ride it?" β
Aksina nodded, she turned her head and shouted, "Elena! A distinguished guest is coming! Would you like to give us a ride? β
"Roar!"
The red dragon stepped heavily on the open-air platform outside the balcony and let out a fierce roar at Wang Ran, as if to express his dissatisfaction.
Wang Ran was interested.
Judging from the spiritual coercion contained in the roar, this red dragon is also at the level of the third and fourth orders in the world hub.
He stared straight at the dragon, and six thousand spiritual attributes were released without reservation.
"Woohoo......"
The majestic red dragon suddenly froze, and its cry turned sharply, becoming weak and weak.
It covered its head with its wings, leaving only a slit in its eyes, and its massive body trembled incessantly, which was extremely comical.
"Good looks, a little timid."
Wang Ran put away his mental coercion.
Akshina smiled helplessly.
Timid?
Elena has been born and died with me so many times, and she has never been afraid, obviously you are too fierce......
She stepped on the red dragon's wings and walked onto the red dragon's back, Wang Ran following behind her.
The dragon saddle on the back of the red dragon is said to be small, just enough to fit two people, but it is a little crowded.
Akshina sat in the saddle.
Wang Ran hesitated for a moment and then sat in.
The two were so close to each other that they could feel each other's body temperatures.
Wang Ran's face was embarrassed: "Or ......"
"Elena!" Akshina shouted, "What are you waiting for? β
Whew-
The red dragon spread its wings, swept up the wind in place, and whistled towards the sky.
In order not to fall, Wang Ran had to reach through Akshina's armpit and hold the handrail at the front end of the dragon saddle.
The hundreds of thousands of commoners in the royal capital all saw this scene, and their queen soared into the sky in the arms of a man.
β¦β¦
The gorgeous palace gradually disappeared from the view of the two, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became more and more eerie.
"I haven't been to the World Hub for a while, and the Watchmen Guild has issued a hellish watch mission, is something big happening?"
Akshina broke the silence.
Wang Ran nodded: "The third district has suffered a doomsday invasion, and there may be several evil gods who have intervened, and the Watchers Association has specially issued a hell-level watch mission." β
"That must be hard, right?" Akshina asked, "My mission is only average. β
Wang Ran pondered: "I heard that the casualty rate of the battle sequence is very high, but the logistics sequence is okay. β
After a pause, he continued, "I was assigned to the logistics sequence, and the task was to manipulate the robot to explore intelligence. β
"It's not dangerous, as long as you complete the task, you'll be rewarded with a hundred Moto's coins."
Aksina said excitedly: "So much? β
She hollowed out the entire world to exchange for more than 1,000 mota, and after paying Wang Ran's remuneration, there were only more than 800 left.
She is reluctant to enter the world hub now, for fear of spending all the Moda coins.
She thrust her chest excitedly.
Wang Ran's arms suddenly felt two warm softness.
Wang Ran was silent.
Although it was not very comfortable to be pushed up, it was easy to fall off the dragon's back when he let go, and he could only endure it reluctantly.
"Can I participate?"
Akshina asked.
Wang Ran nodded: "Of course." β
The red dragon swirled down, the wind from its wings pushing the woods out of a hemispherical depression, and all the birds and beasts of the forest scattered in fear.
"King!"
As soon as the red dragon landed, the soldiers gathered around and saluted.
As they saluted, they looked at Wang Ran, who was holding Akshina, and their eyes were full of curiosity and desire to learn.
Wang Ran let go of his hand and jumped off the saddle first.
Aksina stood up and stepped on the wings of the red dragon and walked up to the soldiers, she said majestically, "Leave me alone, go and carry out your original mission." β
"Yes!"
The soldiers got up one after another, and they continued to patrol as planned, but their minds were no longer on patrolling.
"Respected strong man, please follow me."
Akshina led Wang Ran into the jungle and came to a statue.
The sculpture is pitch black and has a pair of folded wings behind it, which looks like a female angel.
What catches the eye is her posture.
She knelt on the ground, her head bowed, her hands under her face.
Wang Ran took a closer look.
The sculptor who created this statue must have been a genius, and he carved the sorrow on the face of the angel so vividly that it gave people a sense of pity.
"This statue is the spring that produces the sacred spring, and her tears are the sacred spring, which only flows three times a year. β
The sacred spring is the tears of the statue?
Listening to Akshina's words, Wang Ran moved his gaze to the statue's eye sockets.
He had just seen that the statue's eyes were covered with a thin layer of water vapor, but he thought it was the mist in the forest, but he didn't expect it to be the divine spring water that was condensing.
Interesting, I don't know what the principle is?
"Legend has it that this statue is an angel of atonement." Akshina explained, "Because she did something wrong, she was turned into a stone statue by the gods and knelt here to atone for her sins, and she could not return to the world until the day when tears filled her palms." β
Speaking of this, Akshina smiled.
"But it's just a legend, now that she's yours, you can study it however you want, and it doesn't matter if it breaks."
Wang Ran nodded, then took out a faucet.
The front end of this faucet is the same as that of a normal faucet, but instead of a pipe at the end, there is a sharp cone.
γStrange Faucetγ
[Quickly get the liquid contained in anything, the effect depends entirely on what you insert it in]
Aksina looked at Wang Ran suspiciously.
Wang Ran stared straight into the statue's eyes, and he muttered, "The statue with tears must have water in its head, right?" β
