novelThe Fourth Hero?
| ← Ch.102 | Ch.104 → |
"Name?"
"Wu Qiao!"
"Your job back on Earth?"
"I'm an acrobat!"
"Are you from the second batch?"
"The first. I... I passed the Initial Trial!"
While the bright yellow mist of providence faded away before Ji Ye's eyes, he heard such a conversation.
"Ah!"
"You're back?"
When his vision was fully restored, what he saw first was Su Nongying, who seemed rather delighted.
Because the Registration Book, her initial equipment, had to be used around the Temple of Providence often, she simply turned the place into her office where she vetted and registered the people who just arrived at the settlement!
"Em, Master?"
At this moment, a new female player who had a sexy body figure was going through the registration process.
"So much equipment. Did you go to the Battlefield of Providence and win?"
Looking at the clearly extraordinary items, including the White Jade Sword Container, the Miasma Gourd, the Black Serpent Sword, and the Black Mountain Saber, which were teleported back to the settlement along with Ji Ye, the female player's pupils constricted.
"Are you a beta tester?"
Ji Ye couldn't help but notice the female player too.
An acrobat was a job that contained many subcategories. However, if she was among the batch, it would mean that she was at least one of the best in at least one of those subcategories!
Also, since she passed the beta test, it meant that her psychological quality was among the best too.
Was such a person killed in a battle too?
But it didn't seem too strange.
Although time flowed faster in the Battlefield of Providence, not every world could be dozens of times fast.
Counting the time, he realized that it had almost been three days since he left the Twin Dragon Mount!
The City of Aliens and the City of Humans were opened at the same time, so many aliens who didn't enter the Battlefield of Providence launched aggressive attacks after they exchanged assets with each other.
The settlements, which hadn't reached Rank-2, could hardly resist their attacks.
Ji Ye had some questions that he wanted to ask this special newcomer, but he didn't really ask after thinking for a moment.
Now that he had given the power to Su Nongying, he must trust that she could do the job well.
Therefore, Ji Ye nodded at Su Nongying and dropped a hint at her. Then, he returned to his room with all the items.
[You've received a veil (Nie Xiaoqian's keepsake), the Sword Breeding Talisman (Yan Chixia's keepsake), and... ]
After storing all the other items, Ji Ye picked up three special ones.
"Young Master, thank you. If there's a next life, I would love to be your maid and serve you for life!"
When he grabbed the white veil that Nie Xiaoqian left before entering the gate of reincarnation, he heard that in his ears.
Theoretically speaking, he could direct Nie Xiaoqian to the Twin Dragon Mount without any rare offerings as long as he had this.
However, a keepsake was just a keepsake.
Theoretically speaking, Nie Xiaoqian might have arrived at a certain settlement considering her level.
Also, even if she were indeed directed here, and she regained her own memories, the one person that she loved would probably be the unlucky scholar Ning Caichen.
Therefore, the keepsake could only be kept as a reminder of her.
Putting down the veil, Ji Ye picked up the talisman that Yan Chixia gave him, and he heard something else.
"I've seen those wolves before and known that they're active out of Lanruo Temple. I don't know why they became stronger, but they couldn't have been domesticated.
"Brat, work hard on your sword arts. If I ever meet you again, and if you're still so bad with your sword, I'll definitely teach you a good lesson."
"Well..."
At this moment, Ji Ye was really touched.
As a detective that had been famous in 24 provinces, could Yan Chixia have been tricked so easily as he appeared to?
Clearly, he was only pretending that he didn't know it.
Holding the talisman, which was rather old, Ji Ye secretly made a decision.
After he reached the Transcendent level, he had to direct Yan Chixia to his settlement one way or another.
Apart from them, there was the third keepsake.
It was a gray wolf hair!
He remembered that the "husky" often habitually rubbed against his leg when it treated its wounds around him.
Therefore, it was not surprising that he carried a strand of its hair here.
What puzzled him was the information in the keepsake.
"Awoooo! Woof! Woof!"
Who the hell could possibly understand that?
However, there might be someone from the Twin Dragon Mount who could.
That man was Elder Meng, whose initial equipment was a "Universal Translator". Theoretically, he could translate what the wolf said.
However, this wolf hair was certainly not worth wasting the usages of the equipment.
Still, the keepsake that the "husky" left behind gave him a piece of important information.
He realized that, apart from human beings, the lives created by mankind could also be summoned to the settlements in the same way.
After all, the Soul of Civilization could be transformed into various kinds of creatures, not just human beings.
"Right, where are Chief Lu and Chief Wu?"
After storing all the items, Ji Ye walked out of the room and asked a soldier who was guarding the door.
"Chief Lu is building the artillery battery and the mill factory with Elder Jiao, and Chief Wu is patrolling the Soul Valley with some people!"
Before he left, the Twin Dragon Mount had already invented "artilleries".
The "mill factory" was actually a complex workshop powered by the hydro-energy from the waterfall.
It was supposed to be powered by electricity. But unfortunately, electricity involved much more things than simple generation.
The transmission and the application were more important, not to mention the trouble if the enemy cut the electricity off during battles.
Therefore, the electricity program had been temporarily put on hold.
After reaching Rank-4, Lu Zhishen was even stronger than before and could lift things weighing thousands of kilograms easily, so he was perfect for the hard-labor construction work.
Wu Song, in the meantime, was patrolling the Soul Valley with fifteen soldiers who were all above Rank-7 and rated as Elites.
That was because the sunlight at noon could somewhat illuminate the misty areas, making it possible to harvest the resources in the Soul race's territory such as the Soul Jade.
He took so many men with them because he had seen the Sludge Monsters, who seemed to be planning to take the Soul race's territory, twice since he and Lu Zhishen entered the City of Humans!
"Great news! Great news!"
At this moment, a soldier suddenly ran into the clan and shouted in delight.
"Huh? What's the great news?"
Ji Ye stopped him.
"Huh? Master, you're back?"
"Replying to your question, Master. Chief Wu just slew an alien chief and ten Common aliens. They're on their way back after the triumph!"
The soldier became respectful and talked in excitement after seeing Ji Ye.
As it turned out, Wu Song did run into Sludge Monsters during his patrol. They were even a team led by a "hero" on their side.
Supposedly, the mist was the best coverage for the Sludge Monsters, and they should've discovered the human beings sooner.
However, because the Winged Tiger in Wu Song's Perfect Tiger Soul Saber had been a dominator that grew up in this area, he was able to discover the enemy before he was noticed.
He immediately commanded his troops to lay low. After the Sludge Monsters approached, he simply lunged at them.
"Pew!"
When the battle started, Wu Song, who led the charge, cut the enemy hero into halves with one attack in the sudden assault, proving the fame of the "Wu One-Cut" again!
The suspense of the battle was gone after the hero died.
Wu Song's soldiers were of the same level as their enemy, and they had the advantage in number. Also, the Netherworld Ghost Flames on the Ghost Tiger Saber could burn the Sludge Monsters and stop them from healing even though they couldn't scorch the monster's souls.
In the end, the Stone of Civilizations was destroyed, leaving a couple of Rank-7 and Rank-8 Souls of Civilization, two Stones of Civilization, and some spoils!
Of course, the most important trophy of all was the Commander-level Soul of Civilization for executing the enemy hero.
It meant that the Twin Dragon Mount would welcome its fourth hero soon!
