"【Embrace of Pain】, Anna?" Lulu instinctively bared her fangs: "You're here to take the captain away?"
Linda was also very curious about Anna's purpose in appearing before her.
Suddenly, I remembered that a few months ago, the young lady who spent ten million gold coins at the Imperial Credit Merchant Guild to buy her spoils of war at a premium was perhaps Anna.
They were being followed; Lulu had mentioned the strange looks she'd given them.
It might also be related to Anna.
What is the other party's real purpose?
Five-star characters are strong, but none of them are easy to control.
During the original adventure team era, Linda also relied on the absolute power of the Dark Shadow to suppress them.
Once the positions are reversed.
It's hard to guarantee that those monster-level, powerful five-star characters will still obediently follow his orders.
In the living room, Anna sat on a small sofa, her hands folded in front of her lower abdomen, looking completely harmless.
But the members of the Phoenix Flower team dared not be careless and surrounded her.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. I'm not here to take Linda away."
A look of melancholy flashed across Anna's face, and she sighed:
"The original adventure team is long gone."
None of them will be coming back.
Even if the captain announces his comeback.
The first to arrive were also demon assassins.
Three years ago, the Dark Shadow disappeared, and the Original Adventure Team disbanded on the spot.
Anna wasn't lying about this; past issues of the "Voice of the Empire" newspaper can attest to it.
"So what exactly are you here for?" Tasia took out a magic cannon, its blue honeycomb-shaped barrel pressed against the back of Anna's head, and said coldly, "Answer truthfully."
No one can be sure whether the team members who were once loyal to the Dark Shadows are still loyal now.
As a maid, Tasia was prepared to get her master's hands dirty.
If Anna has ulterior motives, Tasia wouldn't mind letting that little head explode.
Linda understood this as well.
Favorability does not equal loyalty.
For example, the original vice-captain had a favorability rating of 100, but she always held her flushed face and looked at him with a creepy gaze. Her catchphrase was, "I really want to have a doll as exquisite as the captain."
Anna is more normal than the vice-captain, but only to a limited extent.
Besides, the real world is different from a game. Once you gain favorability in a game, it will never decrease.
In another world, you might lose 1 point of favorability if you don't buy equipment for your teammates.
Linda wasn't sure how much of Anna's 95 points of favorability remained after three years.
Even in the worst-case scenario, it might drop to 3 PM.
Linda took on the role of the "bad cop," instructing Tasia to put down the magic cannon. She looked at Anna with gentle eyes and said, "Tell them your real purpose for coming here."
Anna smiled and said, "Before that, could I have a cup of black tea? The kind with ketchup."
Linda frowned, the image of Anna's true form appearing in her mind. She turned to Tasia and said, "Bring the duck blood from the refrigerator."
Soon, Tasia returned with a cup of duck blood and handed it to Anna.
Anna gulped down the drink, and her pale complexion improved somewhat.
Where to begin?
After gathering her thoughts, Anna said, "The primary goal, of course, is to help the captain."
You probably don't know this, but under the influence of the Demon King's power, the lost Avis dynasty has begun to revive.
The most direct evidence is the discovery of the long-extinct Avis snake people in various places.
Within the secret realm, monsters belonging to Avis are appearing more and more frequently.
A great sage prophesied that the guardian beast of the Avis Dynasty, the "World-Devouring Serpent," would awaken within ten years.
The one who will have the greatest impact on you is the fire giant.
The fire giants are warriors of the Avis dynasty!
As the dynasty recovers, the fire giants are likely evolving as well.
Become a centurion*fire giant.
A long silence fell over the living room.
The Great Sage, the world-devouring serpent, and the Avis Dynasty—these matters concern the entire continent.
If Anna is not lying, the Secret Realm will experience a significant upheaval.
First came the civil war in the Orc Kingdom, which caused the price of Purple Gold Coins to rise, followed by the resurgence of the Yavis Dynasty.
Whenever the Demon King reappears, the secret realm continent will inevitably face a series of calamities.
All signs indicate that the Demon King will break the seal within the next hundred years.
Unable to determine the truthfulness of Anna's words, Tasia and the others all looked at Linda.
Linda closed her eyes, a thousand thoughts flashing through her mind.
The so-called Avis Dynasty was a kingdom founded by snake people.
It was destroyed by adventurers thousands of years ago.
If the Iavis dynasty still existed today, its location would be exactly in the province of Cangqing.
"During the closure of the tenth level of the Great Mystic Realm, I did encounter the Yavis snake-men soldiers and the snake-men chieftain."
Leah's eyes were also injured by the Yavis snake people.
According to recent news reports, adventurers are more likely to encounter snake people in Greater Rifts than usual.
However, these facts alone are insufficient to determine whether Anna is telling the truth.
A memory deep within Linda's mind floats before her eyes.
That was a version update notification for "Mysterious Continent".
One of them is that a new large-scale dungeon, "The Restoration of the Yavis Dynasty," is under development and is expected to be released later this year.
However, due to certain reasons, this instance was shelved for several years and has not been launched yet.
In the end, it all fizzled out and was left unresolved.
Rumors suggest that the dungeon was actually more than half completed, but was abandoned due to conflicts with the main storyline.
And now.
