Brand Island.
Jiang Qiao led the Lionheart Knight and Queen May directly to the edge of the island.
“Is this another world?”
Queen May looked around while wearing a calico cat mask. She did not see any players, but could vaguely hear the roar of wild beasts coming from deep in the forest.
This is a deserted primeval forest, but everything here is new to Queen May, whether it is the sun in the sky or the towering trees around her.
"Let me introduce this island again. It's called Brand Island. Players will arrive at the battlefield in an hour. That ancient tree is the center of your camp. The goal of the Holy Spirits is to protect the ancient tree and build a camp around it."
While Jiang Qiao was explaining the surroundings to them, he took out the carriage shop again and began to write the initial tasks for the players to visit.
"Mei... I have just thought about the role you will play on this island." When Jiang Qiao was writing the task, he wrote "Ai Lu" as the signature of the task issuer.
These tasks are nothing more than collecting various materials for building the camp.
"What role?"
Queen May stood on a half-meter-high boulder next to the carriage. She was looking into the distance in this way, but her height was not enough to see things in the distance.
"Stand right here! In my setting, you are a mysterious character, which means a character with a very mysterious identity." Jiang Qiao pointed to the ancient tree in the distance again and said, "That ancient tree is the base of the players. A very important character for the players, the soul keeper Freya, temporarily lives in it."
"I know her." Queen Mei said, "I heard them mention the name Freya when we first fought. And when I was practicing how to use the Celestial Palace, I also heard a lot about her... She seems to be a puppet serving the players?"
"They are puppets that serve the players. Each player has a unique Freya, and now they all live in that ancient tree. Mei, your character is to know that Freya is hiding in there, and then issue some tasks to entrust players to take care of Freya and build a camp."
When Jiang Qiao said this, he actually wanted to remind Queen May that as long as you kill Freya, you will be the most popular NPC in the entire server.
But even if Jiang Qiao told Queen May about this, she wouldn't care... Queen May really has no interest in popularity. All she wants to do here is talk to more players, nothing more.
"Should I practice my lines then? Like the court performances of long, long ago?"
Queen May understood the mission of her role, a mysterious person living on Brand Island. After discovering Freya, she secretly protected her. When the players arrived, she guided them on how to establish a base and support their wives.
"You don't need to practice your lines, you just need to remember who you are, ok?"
When Jiang Qiao was giving instructions here, he suddenly felt someone approaching. The Lionheart Knight was faster than Jiang Qiao. He walked out of the carriage shop first with a long metal stick in his hand.
"It's not the breath of the Holy Spirit." The Lionheart Knight stood in front of Jiang Qiao and Mei Yi. "The original inhabitants of this world? Agents... How to deal with this situation?"
The Lionheart Knight fought with the Holy Spirit for three days and three nights. He could tell that there was a different aura between ordinary people and the Holy Spirit... This different aura might come from the silly aura emanating from the Holy Spirit.
"It depends on whether the other party is friendly or hostile. If they are hostile, you can fight back."
Jiang Qiao was watching the figures walking towards here from the edge of the island in the distance. They were a group of fully armed soldiers wearing dark red armor. The leader was a woman who was not wearing armor, but a standard military uniform with her waist straight.
They came here on foot without any mounts. Jiang Qiao cast a reconnaissance spell on the female leader.
'Name: Leila Ferisi, Level: Level 33, Occupation: Warrior/Magician, Description: A native of this world.'
When they saw Jiang Qiao and his group, they immediately entered a tense combat state, but the commander named Leila raised her hand to signal the soldiers behind her not to be nervous. Under the brim of her hat, her vermilion pupils looked at the Lionheart Knight, Jiang Qiao, and... Queen May who was wearing a calico cat mask.
"My name is Leila Firisi, and I'm the commander of the Fourth Legion of the Sun Country's pursuers." She gave a brief self-introduction as soon as they met.
The reason why she was so polite was because of the Lionheart Knight. Jiang Qiao looked like a wizard, and Queen May, who was wearing a calico cat mask, made her a little confused.
But wherever the Lionheart Knight stands... the pressure is real, and her rich combat experience also allows her to see that the Lionheart Knight is a powerful warrior.
"Donald, a carriage merchant." The Lionheart Knight also made a simple self-introduction. He used the identity given to him by Jiang Qiao, and he did not blush or feel nervous when he lied.
"Carriage merchant?" Leila gently pinched the black hair on her forehead with her hand. "This is Brand Island, one of the most dangerous islands in the Seven Seas. The island is deserted. Why do you come here to do business?"
The carriage shop behind the Lionheart Knight adds some persuasiveness to the Lionheart Knight's argument, but only a little bit. It's as unreasonable as finding an ice cream shop in the Amazon rainforest.
"How do you know there's no one here? Maybe it will be lively here soon." Jiang Qiao glanced at the time on his system. There were still forty minutes left before the server was opened.
Jiang Qiao's words made the soldiers behind Leila very nervous. Leila was silent for a while and said...
"Four days ago, a ship carrying dangerous criminals sank near Brand Island. On board were a group of powerful law thieves! They have been lurking around the island. It is not a wise choice to do business with them." Leila said, "You still have a chance to leave here."
"I accept your suggestion, but we don't plan to leave," Queen May said.
"This is not a suggestion, it's an order." Leila suddenly became tough at this time.
"You have no right to order me around."
Queen May responded in the same tough manner. The iron staff in the Lionheart Knight's hand had already accumulated lightning, and the soldiers behind Leila were also ready for battle.
"Criminals? Do you want to entrust us to catch those criminals?" Jiang Qiao's words instantly resolved the tense atmosphere.
