Upon closer inspection, the AlphaGo team rubbed their eyes. And sure enough, that huge island lord really was an island lord!
"Island Lord! We're here!"
As soon as the AlphaGo team spoke, everyone's attention was drawn to them again. Many people couldn't help but hiss when they saw that it was the AlphaGo team, obviously trying to draw in some cold air and absorb some of the Eternal Night Cataclysm.
The AlphaGo team jogged over and saluted Chen Ping!
The AlphaGo team leader led the shout: "Salute! ∠(°ゝ°)"
That's right, this is the etiquette of the Heart of the Divine Island. After all, Chen Ping is a flower that has grown up under the red flag. Other members of the Deer Tree group, including Linafil, also discussed what kind of etiquette to use.
Then, with a hint of guilt, he called out, "Island Master! I'm so sorry! The AlphaGo team has gone to so much trouble for you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Protecting our people is my duty as the island lord, not to mention that you suffered danger because of us. Besides, the information you sent back was very good; Chief Linafil has already recorded your merits."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the AlphaGo team became excited, knowing that merits could be used to purchase items in the Merit Vault.
After a brief moment of excitement, the AlphaGo team quickly calmed down.
At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in a magnificent robe walked over. He looked intently at Snake, the captain of the AlphaGo team, and politely asked, "Captain Snake, could you please introduce this distinguished guest to me?"
Upon hearing this, She Qian immediately turned to Chen Ping and introduced him to Malchi: "Island Lord, please allow me to introduce you. This is the owner of this castle, and also our benefactor—Mr. Malchi. His castle became a sanctuary for us and other refugees during the Eternal Night Calamity."
Then, She Qian turned to Mairchi and respectfully introduced Chen Ping's identity: "Mr. Mairchi, this is Chen Ping, the leader of our Heart of the Divine Island."
Seeing this, Chen Ping said gratefully to Malch, "Mr. Malch, is that right? Thank you for saving the AlphaGo team."
Upon hearing this, Maelch shook his head and said, "To be honest, my castle was able to hold out for so long thanks to the top-grade divine crystals provided by Captain Snake and his team. So it wasn't me who saved Captain Snake and his team, but rather their team that saved us. Otherwise, the castle's protective shield would have shattered long ago due to the exhaustion of its energy."
After hearing this, Chen Ping smiled and then said to Malch, "Mr. Malch, you are too modest. Without your castle, without the castle's protection, even if the AlphaGo team had top-grade divine crystals, it would be useless, wouldn't it?"
Maelch: "But without Captain Snake and their top-grade divine crystals, my castle would have been destroyed by the Eternal Night Calamity long ago, let alone survive until now. Without the castle's protection, we would have been dead long ago."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping smiled and said, "Mr. Malch, what you said is not wrong. However, the AlphaGo team arrived at the castle first and received protection, which was the key to their survival in this eternal night calamity. Although they later used top-grade divine crystals to help maintain the shield, this was an effort made for common survival in the midst of crisis. So, in the end, it was indeed your castle that provided them with the initial protection, without a doubt."
Seeing that Malch was still about to speak, Chen Ping waved his hand helplessly and said, "Alright, Mr. Malch, there's no point in discussing this now. We should be more concerned about when the Eternal Night Calamity will end."
Mairchi shut his mouth and said with a worried look, "Island Lord Chen Ping is right, but the shield can only last for a dozen minutes now. Alas, I have already sent people to add the last divine crystal, but it can only maintain it for a few more hours."
After a pause, Malch looked out the window and continued, "But judging from the current situation of the Eternal Night Calamity, it may only be halfway through. This Eternal Night Calamity is too large in scale and may last for about a month."
Chen Ping: "A month? That's a long time. Can this island still exist?"
After all, the Eternal Night Calamity has only been going on for a few days.
Upon hearing this, Mairchi said, "As for islands, some can still be preserved. After all, the survival system has a rule that under natural disasters, islands will be destroyed at most by about two-thirds."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping raised an eyebrow. This was somewhat unexpected, but it was good in a way. With the castle protecting the AlphaGo team, he could go out and collect the essence of eternal night with peace of mind. The solution was simple: just give them top-grade divine crystals.
The castle's protective shield is decent. Although it can't compare to the shield designed by Linafil and the others, its defensive power is just at the level of a main god. It's just a bit expensive in terms of mana crystals. Well, it probably consumes several times more mana crystals than the shield designed by Linafil and the others.
However, it's not a big problem. The Heart of the Divine Island may not have much else, but it has unlimited resources. Getting a few top-grade divine crystals is just a drop in the ocean. After all, how big is the castle? It's not like the Heart of the Divine Island, which can defend an entire island.
Given the size of this castle, it would consume at most 10 top-grade divine crystals per hour, and that would only be under conditions of frequent tornado impacts.
......
Chen Ping looked directly at Malchi and then smiled, "Mr. Malchi, as long as you have enough divine crystals, I'm sure your castle can be preserved indefinitely, right?"
Upon hearing this, Mairchi nodded and then proudly said, "To be honest, Island Lord Chen Ping, the protective barrier of my castle was set up by the array master god, Lord Muchido. As long as there are enough divine crystals, even a demigod-level Eternal Night Calamity like the Cricket King cannot break through the barrier unless the water tornadoes reach it."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping nodded and smiled, "Oh, that's amazing. Then I'm relieved. Mr. Malch, this is a thank you gift for saving the AlphaGo team. Don't refuse it. After all, without your castle, the AlphaGo team wouldn't have lasted until my arrival."
After seeing Mairch's men, Chen Ping took out another storage bag. That's right, he had a bunch of storage bags on him; he could use them however he wanted.
"The divine crystals here should be enough to maintain the castle's protective shield for a month. I'll leave AlphaGo and the others in the care of Malch for the time being. I have other things to attend to, so I don't have much time to stay."
After Chen Ping stuffed the two storage bags into Mairchi's hands, he flew directly out of the castle and disappeared into the night.
This action instantly drew gasps from everyone present. Was he going out to die?
