Chapter 824: Chapter 693: The Swelling lter Wizards
Dong!
The lodious chi that could be heard across the entire port area rang out, and in an instant, everyone wore expressions of excitent. No matter what they were doing before, they couldn’t help but lift their heads, all looking toward the sky simultaneously.
On the Eternal Siren, whether on the lower decks or the decks of the affluent at the top, everyone turned their heads at this mont.
“Ten!”
Suddenly, soone in the crowd took the lead in shouting.
Everyone followed suit, joining in the annual event that almost all residents of the Federation’s major cities were willing to participate in.
New Year’s Eve countdown!
“Nine, eight, seven, six…”
Including the port area, almost all the residents of the expansive Eagle’s Nest City lit up with bright smiles, joining the countdown with the chi, creating a tidal wave of sound that could be clearly heard across the entire city.
In a secluded area, Tang Qi, who was drinking alone, accompanied by Gluttony, Night Beast, and Elf, also counted down with a faint smile. At the sa ti, the inner space of Gluttony, revealed by its open mouth, continuously emitted bright lights.
Each light represented a greeting from so institution or friend.
If he wished, he could be with his friends now, celebrating the New Year in a lively atmosphere.
The Mysterious Side also had New Year events, such as the bustling magic festival taking place at rada Special Education School, deep within Green Dragon Ridge Lake in Secret Phoenix City. Sally, the principal, had also invited this forr headmaster.
However, Tang Qi did not participate; he rely sent out so gifts again.
He always cared about those children.
His true integration into this world, rather than being an out-of-place observer, began at the school. It was just a slight regret that his ti as “Witch Principal” was too short, and he hadn’t provided more guidance to those children.
In his chaotic thoughts, the countdown quickly reached the end, and everyone excitedly and expectantly looked toward the sky, almost shouting the final countdown: “Three, two… one!”
When that word was shouted by countless residents, the hand on the clock tower also reached the endpoint.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Amidst countless “Happy New Year” blessings, the most stunning and incredible fireworks display of the year also began.
One burst of fireworks after another exploded under the night sky, completely dispelling the darkness with magical scenes that seed to exist only in imagination, enveloping the bustling enormous Eagle’s Nest City.
At this mont, everyone on the ship felt a slight tremor.
A wonderful sensation surged, and they all ca to realize.
The Eternal Siren set sail.
Tang Qi snapped to attention, watching as Eagle’s Nest City, wrapped in a sea of phosphorescence, gradually shrank in his eyes. A flamboyantly intoned voice of a young man faintly reached his ears.
“Mary, a new year has begun, and we will witness the start of a new era together on this ship destined to beco legendary. This deserves our… ugh ugh!”
…
As the New Year’s bell tolled, at Bonaw Valley in the suburbs of Eagle’s Nest City, the valley-shaped space, which was actually a sealed-off “film set” specifically for shooting forbidden films, was alight with brilliant fireworks of unknown origin.
On the battle-ravaged field, forty lter Wizards all looked up, observing their respective masterpieces.
Each firework represented an evil believer.
The bloody altar at the deepest part of the film set revealed the deeds of these believers clearly. They were a group of delusional followers worshipping the so-called “God of Transformation,” who had ford a film company to maintain operations by regularly shooting forbidden films.
Secretly, they frequently sacrificed young n and won aspiring for the entertainnt industry.
They attempted to use the power of the God of Transformation to obtain beauty, wealth, and power.
Unfortunately, ironically enough, through the investigation of No. 2 Tang Qi, the so-called God of Transformation was actually just an Extraordinary Monster hiding in an Exotic Realm, barely qualifying as a Demigod Level creature, but extrely cunning and sly, possessing no such divine powers.
Just using deception to make its followers continually sacrifice.
Fortunately, the victims tonight were very lucky to encounter the lter Wizards.
A dozen handso n and beautiful won, deceived into attending the “audition party,” were lying unconscious in a corner, unable to admire the beautiful scene before them.
However, the lter Wizards, as saviors, were not in particularly high spirits.
On New Year’s Eve, the forty of them had already shifted locations several tis, from the demonic wolf in the deep mountains, the sludge monster in the river, to the nurous Ghosts hidden in the slums… These tasks, which would be challenging for many Transcendents or even Extraordinary Organizations, were resolved in the quickest ti after their involvent.
As Tang Qi had said before, the destructive power demonstrated by the forty lter Wizards, after understanding the secret, was simply terrifying beyond asure.
Especially after Tang Qi first bestowed the Knowledge Gift Pack, then the Extraordinary Weapon; when facing any Abnormality or Extraordinary Creature, the forty Wizards, surging with Molten Magic, swarm in at once, even if each of them was at a low-level Transcendent in the Realm.
The gathered combat power that erupts during the charge made Tang Qi, who had always been observing, unable to hold back from mourning for the monsters.
Yet, strong as they were, the forty n had a joyous ti burning away as well.
However, the shortcomings were also very obvious.
After enjoying the fireworks, the forty n mumbled a few words on the spot and quickly walked towards Tang Qi.
Annie Fox, one of the “temporary representatives,” took a deep breath, overca a slight embarrassnt on her face, and then said, “Leader, you… you see, since it’s New Year’s Eve now, could we possibly get a New Year’s gift, like a task involving sacrificing to an evil god?”
The second Tang Qi, who possessed a fragnt of the original soul, was essentially no different from the real Tang Qi.
Hearing Annie Fox’s words suddenly, he was slightly taken aback and looked at the other lter Wizards.
Seeing him look over, the others also made the sa request.
“Leader, these guys are too weak. I hadn’t even exerted my strength, and they all died. It’s really too dull.”
Only Klaus Lovic, with his quirky brain loop, could make such bold statents while healing his wounds.
“Leader, I’m stronger than Klaus. I feel it’s even duller.”
After Happy Fisher spoke, the other wizards also expressed similar sentints.
“Leader, we need a stronger training target, preferably involving divine entities from the chaotic and evil camps.”
“Leader, whether we sacrifice or not doesn’t matter. We’re mainly keen on experiencing real battle to hone our combat skills.”
“Leader, honestly, we don’t care about a New Year’s gift or anything. We adore you so much; we just want to share your burden so.”
“Leader, we love you!”
…
Hearing the increasingly absurd reasons, Tang Qi almost couldn’t manage his expression.
He listened for a while, almost laughing out of anger.
Clearly, this bunch has started entering a “bloated phase,” feeling bored with re combat tasks.
In tonight’s mission with the forty lter Wizards, they successfully slew a large number of extraordinary monsters, but none of the tasks provided them with any apparent gains, such as sacrificing to evil gods.
The second Tang Qi looked at his increasingly inflated subordinates and considered whether to distribute a copy of an ancient Dark Era book to everyone: How did the lting Furnace go out?
But after thinking it over clearly, although these guys sound arrogant, their performance in tonight’s multiple battles was increasingly excellent. Tang Qi didn’t need to intervene; they demonstrated increasingly skilled combat skills and an unbelievable sense of teamwork.
Judging purely from the speed of improvent, the performance of the forty was far more outstanding than their predecessors in the Dark Era.
This way, their requests seed reasonable.
Besides, since it was New Year’s Eve, a gift wasn’t too much.
With that thought, Tang Qi’s mouth suddenly curled into a half-smile, nodding at the forty sycophants, and then casually took out a stack of docunts, flipping them as he moved from the last page to the front.
This scene caused the forty people to get excited simultaneously. They surrounded Tang Qi, eagerly watching their leader, with faces full of anticipation, as Tang Qi muttered while flipping through the pages.
“In several satellite cities of Eagle’s Nest City, a new urban legend erged: it is said that by performing a certain ritual at midnight and reciting a spell, a ‘Wish Elf’ can be summoned. Upon successful summoning, any wish can be stated and will receive a response, but each wisher encounters terrible misfortune afterward… The consultant judged this incident involves an ancient evil god from an exotic realm.”
As Tang Qi uttered the last line, all forty people’s eyes lit up.
But soon, they saw Tang Qi shaking his head, negating, “No, even if I were involved, the danger level with this evil god is too high.”
They showed disappointnt, and Tang Qi flipped another page.
“The number of traffic accidents has exploded in the past half month on Highway 14 surrounding the Eagle’s Nest tropolitan area. Over a dozen witnesses claid they saw different ‘Ghost Trucks.’ These trucks, wrapped in hell flas, shuttle on the national road.”
“Each appearance of the Ghost Truck results in concentrated traffic fatalities within an hour, which have caused nearly a hundred deaths so far.”
“After investigation by Eagle’s Nest Association special personnel, it was confird that the culprits are a group of truck drivers who have been polluted and fallen, collectively worshiping an unknown evil god. The Ghost Trucks and subsequent accidents are part of their sacrificial ceremony.”
“Hmm, this sounds nice.”
Upon hearing this, the group’s eyes were filled with hope.
However, the next second, they saw the leader shaking his head, revealing the bottom line of fresh red text on the docunt, regretting, “The incident is resolved! Seems soone beat us to it.”
“Then, the next one!”
Tang Qi leisurely flipped to the third page, just about to look at the content when suddenly sothing glowing like phosphorescent paper fragnts unexpectedly “ca alive” from the extraordinary paper, drifted up, and caught Tang Qi’s eye.
ps: There will be more updates, asking for everyone’s monthly tickets, take care of the hardworking Fat Fish, the rankings are getting blown away repeatedly, what a miserable fish.
