"Have I appeared too few times recently?"
Hai Lan's figure suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Qiao and said.
"It's not that you haven't appeared in many shows recently, Hailan, you... have never had a sense of presence, right?"
Jiang Qiao was still sitting in the Coke Fanatic Guild's stronghold, and Jiang Qiao alone occupied the small game wooden stake in the guild's stronghold. Now Jiang Qiao was turning a chess piece in his hand.
It stands to reason that when a mastermind is planning something, he should hold a chess piece to look more impressive. However, Jiang Qiao is different. He holds a flying chess piece.
"Are you really so invisible?" Hai Lan puffed up her cheeks and sat opposite Jiang Qiao. She joined the game of flying chess in the form of a ghost.
"You, when you have nothing to do, you eat snacks and watch TV on the sofa in my house. You only come over when I call you to work."
"I... I am also fulfilling my duties as a goddess! And... are you really not going to interfere with the actions of those crystal hunters?"
Hai Lan threw her dice at the flying chess board, but the next second after she threw the dice, the board turned into a map of Brand Island.
The Spirit Forest is the only area on the island that is green, while the other six areas are all displayed in scarlet color.
The camp of the Spell Thieves was facing the center of Brand Island, and another force... the Crystal Hunters from the God of War Urd were also marked out by Hai Lan with golden chess pieces.
The Crystal Hunters' base is located on a steel battleship off the coast of Brand Island. The battleship is a little far from Brand Island, and players can vaguely see the shape of the battleship at the initial base.
"There are forty-seven crystal hunters, ten of whom seem to be... the agents of the gods of this world, the chosen ones. This is not a small number. They are the ones who have shared the fragments of the godhead. How should I describe them specifically... Each of them has the combat power equivalent to that of a swordsman." Hai Lan came here this time to remind Jiang Qiao... that he might be facing a powerful enemy now.
In the Battle of the Divine, the Swordsman and the Red Knight were voted by players as the second and first weakest BOSSes. There is nothing much to say about the Red Knight's body being invincible, and the Swordsman's combat power is not outstanding compared to the other five knights.
The Lionheart Knight, the leader of the five strongest knights, can fight two swordsmen at once.
But the Swordsman still drank the blood of Queen Mei and shared the fragments of the Aquamarine Godhead. He is a true Aquamarine God’s Chosen One, and his level is that of a lord-level creature above level 50.
If those ten chosen ones really have power comparable to that of the swordsman, once they start wreaking havoc in the player's copy, the result will be... a mountain of tombstones.
"Hai Lan, what are you thinking? The Crystal Hunters are our allies... You don't think we are on the side of the Spell Thieves now, do you?"
Jiang Qiao threw a dice and it happened to be a six, then Jiang Qiao placed one of his chess pieces onto the map of Brand Island.
"Ah...isn't it...isn't it?" Hai Lan said and looked back not far behind her, where the sisters Weisser and Yumi were receiving the warm hospitality of the Holy Spirits.
In fact, the warm hospitality means that a group of players are pulling their sister Weisser to learn how to play Landlord, and Youmi is preparing to gather a group of players to PK with Jia Nai without adding price.
"No, not all the Spell Thieves are good, and not all the Crystal Hunters are bad, they just have different standpoints." Jiang Qiao turned the chess piece in his hand and said, "The Crystal Hunters' mission is to eliminate all the Spell Thieves on this island, but they need the help of the Holy Spirits, because the crystal infection on the island is also fatal to them. If the Spirit Vein Forest is not successfully purified, they can't even land on this island."
"I... why do I feel... that you have ideas about those crystal hunters?" Hai Lan heard Jiang Qiao's tone when he mentioned those crystal hunters, just like when he was talking about the Five Knights during the War of the Godhead.
That's not the tone of a potential enemy, but the tone of a max-level SSR-grade Five Tiger General who can fight and resist.
"There must be some ideas... The average level of the lord-level NPC is between 50 and 60, and there are fragments of the divine power of other gods in their bodies. If we really take one home, there should be many uses for it." Jiang Qiao paused for a while and then continued, "But judging from the tasks triggered by players on these crystal hunters at this stage, they are also trying to cooperate with the players."
It's just that the cooperation was not very pleasant. Jiang Qiao took a look at the tasks related to the Crystal Hunters. At this stage, the completion rate of all tasks related to the Crystal Hunters was zero.
"Should we let Miss Cat teach them?" Hai Lan glanced at the rewards given by the Crystal Hunter to the players.
Only a small portion of those mission rewards are what the players need, but most of the rewards are... dispensable junk. Some missions even reward "national honorary titles", which are actually titles with no attributes. Players may think that there will be some subsequent rewards, so they accept these strange missions.
As for completing it... Hai Lan had no motivation to do the quest just by looking at it. All he saw were side quests with terrible rewards.
"Miss Cat herself hasn't figured it out yet, and I'm curious about who among these chosen ones will be the first to understand." Jiang Qiao said
… … …
"What on earth do those Holy Spirits want!"
Crystal Hunter Finn angrily punched the map of Brand Island in the conference room.
Since he became the chosen one of the war god Urd, he has been warmly welcomed wherever he goes, but the result of his visit to the stronghold of coke fanaticism was that he was kicked out by a group of holy spirits.
"Finn, did you give too little money?" The chosen one of the Goddess of Shadows leaned against the corner of the conference room and teased him, "You people of the God of War Sect should be very rich. As the Son of God... didn't a large part of it go into your pocket?"
"Shari, can you say that again?"
"Stop, now is not the time to argue. Only by cooperating with those Holy Spirits can we completely purify the crystal curse. How is your negotiation with the Holy Spirit Guild called Night Rush?"
A white-haired old man in the conference room asked everyone in the conference room as the commander of the Crystal Hunter Organization.
Before heading to Brand Island, they investigated one thing clearly: the Holy Spirits on Brand Island were not vagrants, and most of them had their own guilds, among which there were nine largest guilds on the island.
So before they officially set out for the island, they sent special envoys to the nine major guilds' bases on Brand Island... and petitioned them to cooperate in clearing out the crystal plague on the island.
"The title of the Guild Master of Night Rush is Cruel Moonlight. The power he wields seems to be some kind of power to control the undead, but what surprised me is that he is very easy to get along with. I didn't ask him much, but he agreed to assist us in hunting down the Spell Thief. He is a very easy-to-talk-to person." said the Chosen One of the Goddess of Shadows.
"When I went to the Leaping Nuclear Guild, I didn't find their president. The holy spirits said he was 'offline'. I guess it's because their spirits have returned to their original world, but their acting president, Fluffy Rabbit, is a kind and talkative woman. Her charm is also..." The person who spoke was the chosen one of the God of Flowing Water... a young man. The old man felt that it was a bit off topic so he coughed lightly.
"The Leaping Nuclei are also willing to assist us in hunting down those infected with the Crystal Disease. It is better to say that they regard the Spell Thieves as their greatest enemy, with an even greater hatred for them than for the dragon monsters on the island. I believe our cooperation with them will be very pleasant. The only problem is that there is a female Crystal Disease infected person who has not been fully transformed in their camp. I followed your instructions and did not take action." The Chosen One of the God of Flowing Water continued.
"You were right not to take action," the old man said, glancing at Finn.
"I didn't take any action either! But sir... although the two sisters infected with Crystal Disease in the Coke Fanatic Guild are not very dangerous, this is equivalent to setting a bad precedent. What if... more and more Crystal Disease infected people are protected by those holy spirits, then won't everything we do be meaningless?" Finn shouted.
"Be patient, we will deal with these 'afterwards'." The old man said, glancing inside the meeting room and found that one member was missing "Where is the child Sheila?"
"It seems she hasn't come back." Someone said in the meeting room.
"Not back? Which guild did she visit?" The old man remembered that the appointed time had arrived. Logically speaking, as long as they did not actively provoke those holy spirits, the holy spirits would not regard them as enemies.
"Chen Meng is urging us to get married... in Black Wind Village! She has not returned since she went to Black Wind Village." The man replied.
