"Why did you stop suddenly?"
The carriage Coffey was riding in was stopped mid-journey. The adventurers poked their heads out to question the driver. Standing before the carriage were a female half-elf with pale golden hair and a blindfolded human.
The horse obediently stopped beside the half-elf. The driver tried to steer it around the half-elf in front, but failed.
"Sorry, we need to ask for directions." The half-elf stroked the horse's head and asked politely, "Where should we go to Sunset City?"
The driver estimated the direction and pointed the half-elf in the right direction.
"Thank you." The half-elf tapped the horse's head gently. A ripple of light spread from the horse's head to its entire body. The horse snorted and began to move forward. The carriage moved faster and the ride became more stable.
Coffey couldn't help but stick his head out of the carriage window and look in the direction of the half-elf.
She cast a spell on herself and the human next to her, then took off into the air and flew in the wrong direction.
"Why do they look familiar to me?" The adventurers in the car began to discuss.
"You feel the same way? I feel like I've seen them somewhere..."
…
After arriving in Sunset City, Coffey planned to first visit the Adventure Guild to scout the area, and then inquire about the location of the Church of Mary.
Arriving at the door of the Adventurer's Guild, Kofi glanced at the white building opposite the guild with the sign of "Healing Station" hanging on it, muttered twice, and turned to enter the Adventurer's Guild.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw the half-elf and human he met on the way standing at the counter and talking to the receptionist. It seemed like they were issuing tasks.
After completing a large number of material tasks, Kofi has successfully upgraded his adventurer level to quasi-D level. As long as he completes one more D-level task, he can officially become a D-level adventurer.
While checking the quests posted on the bulletin board, Coffey approached the stranger adventurers around him, trying to inquire about the location of the Maria Church. He was no longer the same as he had been over a month ago; he had long since mastered the art of chatting up strangers and obtaining the information he needed. But today, that skill didn't seem to be working.
Most of the adventurers in the Guild were distracted. Kofi followed their gaze and saw that they were focusing on the half-elf and the human.
Not long after, a new task appeared on the bulletin board. According to Coffey's observation, this should be a task issued by the half-elf.
——Looking for an elf named Piccolo.
Eryi found that Piccolo was a little abnormal that day.
Piccolo is a fairly lively Pokémon. In addition to injecting skills into the ATM, he also plays around in the healing station. In a short period of time, he has become familiar with the believers.
But this day, after breakfast early in the morning, he locked himself in a room where more than a hundred elves were kept, and refused to come out no matter what.
Eryi has set permissions for this room, and no one else can enter except herself and Piccolo.
Eryi had just received a letter from Bernice in the capital. She explained that after investigation, she found that almost all magic apprentices in the capital were well-off. The magicians were also more affluent than those in other cities. Even the Magic Guild's magic power acquisition business was struggling in the capital, suggesting Eryi consider other cities.
"Okay." Eryi gave up the idea of going to the royal capital to develop business.
She turned on her cell phone in the lounge, replied to the letter from the Doomsday Plane, and went online to check the acquisition of superpowers.
At the beginning, since the security coins distributed in the central security zone can be exchanged for treatment coins, almost all the superpower users who have sold their superpowers will go to the treatment station and convert all the security coins into treatment coins.
But this phenomenon only lasted for about a week, because a week later, the Central Security Zone officially sold alien cores to the outside world.
The price of 200 An coins per Xenomorph Core sparked a flurry of interest among psychics. Because one needed to exchange a crystal core for 1,000 An coins to qualify for one Xenomorph Core, all psychics were eager to sell their crystal cores for An coins.
As a result, Anbi gradually replaced the crystal core and became the common currency in the central security zone.
The acquisition of superpower values is becoming more and more smooth, and the central security zone is tentatively asking Eryi whether a second superpower value storage ball can be arranged.
A special energy value storage ball can now bring Eryi an income of 6,000 to 10,000 energy points every day, so of course she is willing to do it.
Magical plane, healing station.
"Is this the place?" A light-blonde female half-elf led a blindfolded human into the room. In front of her was a tall, thin adventurer, who was guiding her.
"Yes." The tall and thin adventurer looked a little restrained, his eyes constantly moving back and forth between the blindfolded human.
The half-elf began to survey the interior of the healing station upon entering, her gaze finally landing on Judy behind the counter. She asked in a friendly manner, "Is Piccolo here?"
"What do you want from Piccolo?" Judy looked up. The half-elf before her wore a set of leather armor common among adventurers, her skin so pale it was almost translucent. With her pale golden eyebrows and eyelashes, doll-like features, and flawless skin, she looked like an angel from a painting.
"Something personal."
The half-elf smiled and said, "You can tell him that his old acquaintance is looking for him." Her voice was a little rough and didn't match her appearance.
The demon wolf lying on the side got up, looked at the half-elf proudly, then took a step and jumped up the stairs.
The half-elf looked at the wolf's back with great interest.
While waiting, the half-elf began to observe the interior of the healing station.
The owner of this place seemed more profound than she had imagined. The perfect laws of space and the air that seemed to flow smoothly came from a different place than the outside world.
Demonic wolves with affinity for holy and spatial elements are rare, not to mention that among the adventurers coming and going, there are quite a few who exude the aura of gods.
This aura was different from all the gods she had communicated with before. It was probably a newly born god.
Remembering the prophecy under the Tree of Life, the half-elf turned to her human companion, who had remained silent, and said, "I think I can really cure you this time."
The human, whose eyes were blindfolded by the cloth, shook his head and took the half-elf's hand and patted it.
"I understand what you mean." The half-elf said this and stopped talking to her friend.
Not long after, the demon wolf that had left came back again.
The one who followed the demon wolf downstairs was not Piccolo, but a black-haired female human whose affinity for holy elements was comparable to that of a light elf.
The half-elf's gaze passed over everyone and stopped at the white-robed, black-haired priest in front of her: "Is Piccolo not here?" Her pupils were so light in color that they looked white.
"What's the matter?" The black-haired priest did not answer directly.
"We are looking for the human who made a contract with him..." Suddenly the half-elf's face tightened, and his gaze moved from the black-haired priest to a young girl who walked out of the kitchen holding a cake.
The half-elf's eyes darkened. "Why is there a guide from the abyss here?"
Adventurer's Guild.
As soon as the half-elves and humans left the gates of the Adventurer's Guild, a heated discussion broke out among the adventurers.
A short, red-nosed adventurer jumped up. He looked like he had some dwarven ancestry. "Do you think these two look particularly familiar?"
A human archer jumped down from the second floor directly over the railing: "A half-elf with light blond hair, a tall and thin human with brown-red hair..."
A woman dressed like a scholar looked out of place in the Adventurer's Guild. "What if we add a different-eyed magician and a lava fairy?"
"You mean!" The overweight adventurer covered his mouth, staring wide-eyed at the mural on the ceiling of the Adventurer's Guild. It depicted the figures of the only S-rank adventurer team in the history of the Adventurer's Guild.
"Impossible... They've been gone for over fifty years. The Heterochromia Magician is said to have fallen into the abyss, the Lava Fairy is nowhere to be found, and the human knight Gallop Arnold..."
The receptionist behind the counter quickly added, "Gallup Arnold sealed the abyssal passage at the cost of his eyes. The half-elf Lilith lost half her lifespan and returned to the Tree of Life to recuperate."
"Impossible, they still look so young."
"Their longer lifespans are nothing. Gallup Arnold is a human who has made a contract with the elves."
Coffey's mind took in a lot of information and he fell to the ground.
"What do you want from me?"
Eryi did not answer the half-elf's question about Valentina.
"Why is there a guide of the abyss here?" the half-elf asked again. The human beside her who had been silent all this time looked ready to strike.
Eryi followed the half-elf's gaze and glanced at Valentina: "I don't have such a person here."
The half-elf had a serious expression on his face, but when he saw the two Believers' Union staff members following closely behind Valentina, his expression relaxed a little.
Eryi looked at the information panels of the two people in front of him and quickly thought about their purpose.
Gallup Arnold [Level 6 Human]↓Continue to decline
HP 87%/87% Fatigue 37/100
[Blindness][Curse][Mutilation: Loss of both eyes, HP reduced by 13%][Mute Curse: Loss of voice]
Lilith Hill [quasi-sixth-level half-elf]↓Continuously declines
HP 100%, Fatigue 12/100
[Sacrifice: Lose half of your life]
Just looking at the information, it's a bit tricky.
The main reason was that the treatment station was no longer run by her alone; many ordinary people were also involved. If the two people in front of her had any malicious intentions, it would be difficult to prevent them.
Seeing this, the staff of the Believers' Union stepped forward and carefully examined the half-elf's appearance. This appearance looked all too familiar, especially the hair color and eyelashes.
"Who is your president now?" the half-elf asked the staff of the Believers' Guild.
The staff member finally remembered who the half-elf looked like: "Lou Francis."
Like their previous presidents.
…
After communicating with the people from the Believers' Guild, the half-elf roughly understood the whole story and apologized for his previous attitude.
"I'm sorry for being rude just now." The half-elf's pupils returned to their original color, but her gaze was still focused on Valentina.
"I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm the half-elf Lilith Hill, and the person next to me is my friend Gallop Arnold."
"We were guided by the prophecy beneath the Tree of Life and have come to find Piccolo's contractor. We hope to heal his eyes and throat." The half-elf thought for a moment, then produced a fist-sized red crystal and presented it to Eryi. "Take this as the price."
The moment the half-elf took out the crystal, Eryi heard Ling Lingba's scream in his mind for the first time in a long time.
[Red Dragon Crystal: Well-preserved, its energy hasn't leaked, but if you accept it, you need to be wary of the dragons' ill intentions.] Absorbing it grants 1,000,000 energy points.
