Chapter 564: A Sudden Mission
By the time Alicia and her party returned to the hotel from the beach, it was already a fiery evening. Ordered by Lori to stay and guard a certain group of humanoid mosaics to prevent any accidents from the Venerable Goddess of Life, Golden Shadow and Franlinos were finally able to rest, and left the room contentedly with the snacks they had been rewarded with.
"Alright, Dibes. Now you can take that map out and show it to me. Alicia casually sat down on the edge of the bed and stepped on the dark mass of unidentified objects on the floor, "Start early, finish early, I want to take a shower before dinner." β
"Uh, but ......" The handsome blue-haired guy with cold sweat and black lines on his forehead stretched out his finger and pointed to the things at Lori's feet and said weakly, "Your Majesty, then, are you going to discuss business like this?"
"Otherwise, what do you want me to change into a black tight leather coat, a leather whip in my left hand, and a candle in my right hand?"
The group of hunting creatures under the feet of the little Lori suddenly twitched when she heard this, and raised her arms tremblingly as if she wanted to grasp something, and said in an extremely eager tone: "Ah, what a beautiful scenery this will be, please do it!"
"Mosaics should look like mosaics, don't talk casually! Alicia kicked the charred waist hard, then looked up at Debes as if nothing had happened, "Don't worry about the little things. What about the map?"
Angel, who sparked a little spark with Dibes again because of the watermelon-smashing game designed by Lori, although she has been embarrassed to avoid each other since then, still can't help but say with a horror on her face at the moment: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty." I don't know if I heard it wrong, but is that voice a ...... His Royal Highness Prince Locklip?"
"You must have misheard, Sister Anqi. How could I do this to my own brother?
Looking at Alysia, who was in front of her with one hand on her waist and the other half covering her mouth, raising her head and chest, her eyes fluttering, laughing loudly, and she was obviously different from usual, her two subordinates wiped the cold sweat on their heads casually, and felt that it was better not to continue to ask.
Dibes took a big breath and took a few breaths to keep his composure. He took out a piece of parchment from his bosom and respectfully bent down and handed it to Elicia: "Your Majesty, this is the map I said I found in the undersea base earlier. I'm sorry, but it was already like this when our people found it, and there was nothing we could do about the missing parts. β
Alicia looked down at the torn parchment in her hand: its surface was deeply wrinkled, and it was evident that the enemy in charge of destroying it had hastily crumpled it into a ball and thrown it into the fire, and the edges and part of the center were burned by the flames, leaving only black and burnt marks, and the pattern drawn on it could not be restored, but even so, most of the middle was still intact, and it was clear that it was a nautical chart.
"Do you know which sea is depicted on this?" asked Alicia, raising her parchment.
Dubes immediately replied, "Yes." Before I came to report to you, I asked Admiral Jikerem in the military harbor, and he thought it was a map of the vicinity of Wailing Bay. β
β...... Which soul gave this creepy-sounding name?"
The handsome young blue-haired man said to Little Lori with a rare serious face: "Wailing Bay is the deepest place in the ocean that can be reached by ships of all parties on the mainland. There's a huge island there. Inside, there is a recessed bay where you can shelter from the wind and rain. Many people sailed in without thinking, intending to catch their breath from the violent wrath of the hurricanes that raged on the surface of the sea all year round. But in reality, it is not a haven blessed by God, but the most vicious trap set by death.
The interior of the island has caves connected to the sea, which look nothing special during the day. But every day at high tide in the middle of the night, the sea enters the bay through the cave. And the worst thing is that that the bay is also the predatory ground of some kind of extremely ferocious sea monsters. Every day, they take advantage of the high tide to enter the bay through their caves. Hunt all the animals that take shelter from hurricanes in the bay β schools of fish, seabirds, dolphins and even smaller whales. And, of course, humans.
No one knew about the great danger hidden in this bay until more than two hundred years ago, when some seafaring magician attacked, nay, it should be called torture, after he survived by flotation through levitation. Luckily, the next morning he met another fleet of ships that were going to rest in the bay, and the truth was revealed: the ships that were thought to have died in the hurricane were actually eaten by these horrible creatures.
Because the desperate wails of the sailors who could not escape before they died left an eternal nightmare in the magician's heart, he named it 'Wailing Bay'. Over time, it became an informal name.
Your Majesty, this is a name full of countless lives and souls, and I hope you will take it seriously. β
Alicia nodded silently, and only after a while did she cough to break the solemn atmosphere and say, "I understand what you said. But Dibes, since there are such dangerous monsters operating nearby, why did the people of the Dark Empire choose to build a base here? Judging from the time, those monsters should have grown naturally rather than created by them, what is the reason why the other party can live in peace with this group of monsters with good teeth and appetites?"
"This subordinate has no way of knowing......"
"Again, there is no conclusion to be drawn from groundless speculation, and you have to go to the local area to see for yourself. As she spoke, Alicia suddenly had a stunned look on her face, and she stopped talking unnaturally.
"Her Majesty?" Dibes and Angel asked cautiously after looking at each other inexplicably.
"Nothing. Alicia came back to her senses and waved her hand casually, "Dibes, Angel, please get ready, we'll head to Wailing Bay to find out as soon as Jikrem's fleet is rested." The news of the capture of the frontline base should have just been learned by now, and we will take advantage of the victory to pursue the enemy before the enemy has sorted out the situation!"
It's not a good time to start Armageddon, but it can disrupt the other side's rhythm. The two nodded in unison, stood up straight, and loudly understood.
But what they never expected was that what prompted Xiao Lori to make this offensive decision was a task suddenly given to her by the pseudo-main god who had not shown her face for a long time.
"Trigger the Legendary quest 'Eater of the Abyss'. During the mission, your Fighting Spirit will be limited to level 5 in the normal state, and your mana and exchange items will not be affected. The main goal of the mission is to eliminate the hordes of monsters entrenched near Wailing Bay. If your fleet is wiped out, the mission will fail immediately, erasing a random item or skill, and erasing the contract between you and the Immortal Archer.
Defeat the Dark Empire's garrison fleet in the sea area and reward 2,000 bonus points, capture the enemy base and capture the artifact-level weapon 'Deep Sea Dragon' for 10,000 bonus points, and destroy all the monsters for 5,000 bonus points. β
[Strange, why is the main event of destroying Warcraft only giving such a small reward?] I always feel that the system seems to be deliberately hiding the appearance of something. γ
As she gave orders to Dibes, Alicia glanced at Locklip, who was lying on the floor and couldn't see a human form.
"Did you deliberately let the system hide something from that mission just now?" said Alicia as she kicked the creator god, who was still pretending to be dead, after the two subordinates had retired. "Why do you want to do this, could it be that your shaking M physique has finally been cured, and you are dissatisfied with what I did before, so you are going to stand up and say no loudly!?
"I'm a pervert, I'm proud, I'm a sister, I'm proud. So dear little sister, never say anything like my shaking M constitution has been cured. Locklip instantly reverted to his original golden handsome appearance, got up and posed, and said, "That's something that won't be possible in another million years." β
"Hmm. The moment I saw your face, I was already convinced. Little Lori hung down countless black lines all over her body, and she couldn't help but sigh with her hand. "Don't change the subject. What the hell are you up to?"
Who would have thought that instead of answering directly, Locklip would snap his fingers and disappear in place, leaving only his magnetic voice echoing through the room: "My dear little sister, don't you think it's most interesting to discover all kinds of hidden secrets?"
[It's like you want to spy on other girls' changing clothes every day to figure out the style of her underwear? γ
ββββββββββββββββββI'm the dividing line between brother and sisterββββββββββββββββββ
After dinner with her friends, Alicia went to the observation deck on the top floor of the hotel alone. Summon Remy in her arms and enjoy the bright night sky.
Remy, who has been busy lately and hasn't been brought out by Alicia for a long time, is very excited, and after a while, little Lori decisively let go of her daughter and let her run around by herself. The little girl ran back and forth between the potted plants with many glowing plants, chasing moths and other insects attracted by the fluorescent, giggling, and at the same time soothing Alicia who was looking at her. The corners of his mouth were slightly curled.
"Ah, Alytheria, here you are. Ilya's voice suddenly sounded behind little Lori, "Did you really come to relax?"
Turning to look at the black-haired boy who was slowly walking towards the corners of his mouth, Alicia brushed the hair of her ears and temples in the evening breeze and wondered, "Elijah, why did you think of coming to me?
"You had a good time at dinner as usual, but I always felt like you had something on your mind. Ilya walked up to the girl and asked seriously, "What the hell is going on?"
[Get a system task that must destroy some kind of warcraft that seems to eat everything and God knows who is more powerful than Bei Ye, and there is also a fleet of the Dark Empire stationed nearby, They also have a legendary artifact-level decisive weapon hidden in their base that has no information other than its name, and the ground forces of the coalition that we are proud of are completely useless, and the only ones that can fight are the old fleet and an air warship under the command of Jikrem, and the strange uncles of Dibes, and the guy Locklip seems to be deliberately hiding something, so I have a faint uneasiness in my heart...... Don't say these words to the idiot goose in front of you, lest you be flagged with lines such as "Let me go with you, I will definitely protect you". γ
Do you usually throw less discipline and welfare to others, and what is the only Flag?
Alicia shook her head decisively and put on a smiling face and said, "It's really nothing." All you have to do is stay here with Michelle and wait for me to come back. β
"Is it because of the military map that Senior Dibes brought?"
After a long silence, Alicia looked up at Ilya with an embarrassed face and asked, "What else did Chasi tell you?"
She also said that this battle must be very difficult, otherwise you wouldn't be forced to smile at dinner. And Chasi also asked me to come to you on my own initiative, and told you that I would go with you too...... Ahh
"Because Cecilia and Karina's attention is focused on playing the Shura field, the mercury lantern and they won't talk about it casually with my advice, Fabiano has already done his best just to deal with his own sister, how can he have time to care about others, Yuege never mixes in these things, Sun Xiang is not so strong in analysis, and Michelle is even more impossible. So the only person who can spot my anomaly and make appropriate suggestions to you is Chassi. Alicia leaned weakly against her forehead and sighed deeply, "Elijah, I know you mean well, but this time it's a naval battle......"
Ilya stepped forward and pressed the stunned Alicia shoulders: "Even so, I'm going to go." I know that you have many powerful guards around you, that you will surely sit on an aerial warship whose shields cannot be broken by even a horde of ordinary angels, and that you are the queen of an empire with the most powerful force in the Western Continent. Thousands of brave and fearless warriors can be mobilized at any time to charge you into battle.
But to me, you're still the same resolute and brave girl who will use everything at hand to turn the tide of the war, even if the situation is desperate at the time, and even put yourself in danger for it. Every time I fight, I'm very worried about whether you're going to risk any more dangerous plans, so please let me go. I know I can't stop you from taking the risk, and I don't want to, but at least. I hope to be able to bear this danger with you. β
"Ilya......" Alicia, who was gently caressing her chest with her right hand, raised her head and whispered softly, revealing a faint expression of pain against the beautiful light blue glowing plants around her.
[Hell.] In the end, I was still flagged by this guy. γ
How can you return everyone's expectations of you once in a while to be shyββ!!
That's when it happened. Remy suddenly appeared next to the two people who seemed to be in the right atmosphere at first glance, raised her head and asked curiously, "Dad, Mom, what are you doing?"
Alicia distinctly heard the sound of a series of heavy objects falling from behind a shelf with many potted plants not far away, followed by the slight scolding of several girls and the screams of boys desperately holding back.
[So that you idlers are okay and come to see the flashbang.] This is good, the dog's eyes are not blind, but he fell and gnawed on the mud. It must taste good, right?]
Ilya obviously heard it too, and he couldn't help but turn his head in confusion: "What was that sound just now?"
Alicia immediately raised her hand and said repeatedly, "Don't care, don't care. It's summer now, and it's normal to have one or two cats that come out to talk about love and a large number of relatives and friends who are watching strongly. β
Then there was a sweet and delicate "meow" sound - this voice was so familiar to Lori that she almost couldn't help but squirt Ilya all over her face.
It was the voice of his precious sister Imrise.
[For Mao Xiaoyi, she will also be here.] Aren't you guys afraid of bringing bad children!?And little Ise, how can there be a cat in this world who just finished talking about it and screamed in a cute tone, hey!?
"Cats? Apparently, Remy believed.
The embarrassed Alicia hurriedly broke away from Elijah's hands and hugged her daughter: "Remy, it's not good to disturb other people's trysts casually, just let the cats talk and play there peacefully." Come, let's go to the side and eat lollipops. β
The little girl immediately nodded vigorously with her eyes shining: "Hmm!"
After sitting down in a chair near the outside railing, Alicia first settled her daughter with a lollipop, and then said to Ilya, who was sitting opposite her, "Well, Chassi is right, but that's only one thing. To be honest, my greatest wish is to have a carefree or heartless life with my friends every day, to control the empire, guide the alliance, and lead the whole continent to fight against the demons or something, I have never thought about it at all. But God always likes to joke, and I became the person I am now. I miss the old days. β
Ilya stretched out her hand with a little hesitation, and when she saw that Alicia had no objection, she gently touched her head: "It doesn't matter, we will always be with you." β
"yes, I really appreciate you. Well, Ilya. In the next battle, you can also bring Michelle with you!" (To be continued.) )
