Chapter 472: Chapter 443: Turns Out It’s Not Holy Vine Seeds
Da Fei arrived at the fishing ground and received a warm reception from the manager, who repeatedly praised the bravery and loyalty of the masked trio. Then, following the manager as he led the way by boat, Da Fei saw the hardworking trio pulling the nets while masked.
The manager called out from afar: "Akenna, Akarna, Arsenal, your Guild Master has brought good wine to visit you!"
The trio rely glanced up briefly, then continued to work on the nets. Impressive, it’s the attitude of true experts. Experts like them shouldn’t just be fishern!
Now, as the manager’s boat reached the trio, Da Fei chuckled, "Gentlen, you have had a fright."
One of them replied indifferently: "It’s just a minor nuisance, Guild Master, no need for concern."
Another spoke in a stern voice: "We never drink alcohol, and the work rules here don’t allow it either."
The manager laughed heartily: "What man doesn’t drink? No worries, consider it a celebration. We can make an exception today!"
One shook his head: "Drinking dulls the senses, we don’t indulge."
Such an expert deanor! No need for pleasantries then! Da Fei got straight to the point: "I really appreciate your abilities and I might soon embark on a journey to the Eastern World. I need strong hands to help, would you co with ? Compensation is not an issue!"
"Eastern World?" The trio looked up at Da Fei in surprise, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Da Fei’s brow twitched, sensing an opportunity. Could these three have a connection to the Eastern World?
One shook his head: "Guild Master, your level is too low. It’s not the ti for the Eastern World yet."
Another said: "We just want to live a quiet, ordinary life right now, and we’re not looking to go to the Eastern World to throw away our lives!"
"So we’re terribly sorry, but we can’t help you, Guild Master!"
Da Fei was stunned!
Damn! Talk about a rough start! You’ve already triggered the plot and you’re still talking about living peacefully? You must think I’m weak, right? Or that we’re not close enough? Well, this did cross my mind.
But how could I possibly go alone? Last ti I went to the North Sea, I brought Coltner and Spielberg along! If I’m going to the Eastern World this ti, I’ll definitely pull so connections through the Mayor or Duke to bring a group! Right, and I should also take the opportunity to take a task from the Chamber of Comrce to bring Secret Archers. My aim is to find a pirate leader, what will the accompanying NPCs think of this sidetrip?
The more I think about it, it’s actually quite a hassle. Anyway, that’s a problem for later.
Da Fei said: "Alright, I’ll co to invite you again on the day I’m set to depart. Maybe you’ll change your minds if there are more people and it’s fun. Take care and stay safe in the anti."
The trio simply replied: "No need to see us off!"
...
After leaving the fishing ground, Da Fei returned to the bustling Radiant City construction site. The upcoming journey to the Eastern World was off to a rocky start, putting quite a bit of pressure on Da Fei, his mind a whirl of thoughts.
So many things to do. There’s a save-the-space mission involving the World Tree, no progress with rging Holy Vine into the Flying, and tomorrow I have to et the Dwarf Prince. How soon will I have to leave for the Eastern World? Can I really afford to go? When the city construction is almost complete, the battle will probably start, right? Can I leave with peace of mind?
In any case, I can’t stand being idle. What can I do now to feel at ease? Now the only thing left is the map artifact given by Makar. Well, I’m not doing anything now, so I might as well head to the Blood Sea and check on the Vine Demon Tribe. Speaking of which, I haven’t had a chance to ask the Gardener about the pile of stones I picked up in the Vine Space, or perhaps I could ask the Vine Demon Chief Tachiusu?
Right, better to get done with whatever can be dealt with swiftly.
Da Fei took out the Task Artifact given by the Duke:
——Space Waypoint Mapper: Task Artifact, can draw maps of the area around the Pool of Radiance and select a teleportation coordinate on each area’s map for use. Limited to use around the Pool of Radiance.
How do I use this? Let’s try it, use it!
——System Prompt: Invalid operation! The Space Waypoint Mapper only has the function to record the coordinates of a target location and does not have teleportation capabilities. You need to use it at the city’s Teleportation Array.
I see. Standing on the Teleportation Array, Da Fei used it again.
——System Prompt: You are preparing to use the Space Waypoint Mapper. Please select a landing point on the recorded map. This teleportation will cost 800 Gold Coins. You can also teleport your troops; the city’s level 2 Military Teleportation Array can transport up to 500 Command Value of troops per day. Please select your teleportation thod!
So that’s how it’s done! Looking at the miniature Blood Sea map in front of him, seeing the prompt for "air-dropping" in any area on the map, Da Fei couldn’t help but get excited. Point and go; truly a Divine Artifact indeed! ans if I wanted to, I could directly drop in next to the Demigod Turtle, right?
Alright, for now it’s straight to the Vine Demon Jungle’s Vortex Space Gate. Looking at the map, the tide isn’t out, so I can get there directly.
As for how to get back after going? Well, thinking too much, just die and respawn. Dying and respawning is the player’s own Town Recall Scroll.
——Teleport!
With a flash of light from the Teleportation Array and a change of scenery, with a splash, Da Fei appeared in a whirlpool of surging blood. Oh yeah! Made it!
Nothing much to say, onto the next scene!
The scenery changes again, and Da Fei finds himself in the broad Black Water River amidst the Vine Demon Jungle. He quickly goes into Stealth and swims ashore – there are man-eating fish here! But now I’m a Primary Sentinel, having mastered the Concealing Aura Technique, so presumably the man-eating fish won’t be able to find
as easily as last ti, right?
Indeed, as Da Fei casually swam ashore, the previously ferocious school of man-eating fish did not appear. Wahaha, I’ve truly grown! Thinking this, Da Fei’s brow twitched with a sudden brainwave – with my current level of Stealth, could I swim past the nose of the Eight-Headed Snake? If I can, wouldn’t I be able to check on the developnt of Habbit Village by the way?
Alright, let’s not think too much about that, better hurry up and hit the road.
By now, a day had passed, and after almost more than ten days in the ga, the trees here had shed their previously wilted, listless look for a sea of green vitality. Looking across to the opposite bank, tender shoots had sprung up from what was once scorched earth and even the Black Water River where I had just swum up from wasn’t as black as before, it should be considered densely green now, right? In any case, the speed of this natural transformation is quite fast! Realizing how quickly the ga progresses, Da Fei feels an even greater urge not to waste ti.
While on the move, a cluster of green dots appeared on Da Fei’s radar, flying towards him. No need to say, they’re coming to pick
up, hehe, and I get to use the air sofa again, how can I refuse such an offer?
Da Fei waves his hands in the air.
In no ti at all, Tachiusu led a group of Vine Demons down to greet Da Fei with joy: "Lord, have you opened up the route back?"
Da Fei laughed with a sigh: "Not completely, but I can still find a way to get here."
Tachiusu laughed heartily: "That’s a huge progress already. I believe it won’t be long before Lord completely opens the path, and then our Lumang Tribe can develop quickly. Now, please, Lord, co and sit in the village!"
Da Fei chuckled: "Thanks for having !"
In an instant, the Vine Demons ford a vine chair to air lift Da Fei back to the village. The feeling of flying was aweso, and Da Fei thought once more of his Blood Eagle riding plan, and also of the Ranger Guild Master Jilrien. Right, how’s the application to join the regular forces of the Kingdom coming along? Ah, there’s already so much to deal with, best not to overthink it, it’s frustrating!
Back in the village, of course, it’s fruit wine on offer, and beauties for company.
Tachiusu asked with a laugh: "Lord, did you find the Vine Space we asked you to look for last ti?"
The System Prompt has already announced task completion, what do you think? Da Fei laughed heartily: "Found it, that’s exactly what I ca here for!" Saying that, he imdiately took a bunch of stones from his bag and placed them on the table.
Tachiusu’s expression changed: "What are these?"
There’s a chance here! Da Fei was imdiately elated and took out a few 4th and 5th grade Holy Vine Seeds and placed them next to the stones: "These are the seeds I’ve collected with my greatest effort. I suspect these stones are 3rd grade or higher seeds, so I wanted to ask the lady to help
identify them?"
Tachiusu looked astonished for a mont and then asked, "Since Lord has found the Holy Vine Space, did you see Gardener Tamilia? Did she not say anything?"
Da Fei was surprised: "I was tracked by Demons as soon as I got to the Vine Space, and I started taking care of the Holy Vine the mont I saw her. I had no ti to ntion this."
Tachiusu’s expression changed again: "So you ant the Vine Space was destroyed by Demons?"
Da Fei nodded with a sigh: "Yes, a High-level Fla Demon called Balroque, reportedly the General guarding the Gate of Hell, claid that it would also destroy the rebirth of the Holy Vine."
Tachiusu breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as the Holy Vine can be reborn, there is hope. Alright, then I’ll tell Lord, these are not any seeds, based on the distortion that happened in the Vine Space separating it from the World Tree Space, the Holy Vine lost sufficient nutrients, and she couldn’t possibly produce seeds above level 4 anymore."
Da Fei was abruptly dumbfounded and could not help but wryly smile: "So what you’re saying is, these stones I picked up are useless?"
Tachiusu shook her head solemnly: "No, these are precious essences of the fertile soil of the World Tree! Once indispensable nutrients supporting the growth of the Holy Vine, to condense into such large and solid clusters is beyond my imagination. Hasn’t the Holy Vine absorbed these nutrients in the last thousand years?"
So they’re not just ordinary stones! Damn, even if I stumbled upon dog shit, it’s still treasure! Da Fei hurriedly said: "It seems that the Holy Vine had been corrupted by Demons a thousand years ago and has been sealed in the Holy Vine Space ever since."
Tachiusu suddenly realized: "I see!" She then imdiately walked in front of Da Fei and grabbed his shoulders with both hands!
Da Fei shuddered! Miss, what, what are you doing? I’m not that kind of guy!
Tachiusu looked deeply into Da Fei’s eyes and said very seriously: "Lord, now that the Holy Vine is gone and the newly born Holy Vine doesn’t have the strength to absorb such concentrated nutrients quickly, this is exactly what our weakened Lumang Ancient Tree has been in desperate need of. Please give us these essences of the fertile soil!"
Uh, that’s it?
