The next day, Brand Island, Shenyou Town.
"I won't do it. Agent, please forgive me for being blunt. I cannot accept this commission."
Thorne simply pushed the pile of... legendary armor and weapons that Jiang Qiao had placed in front of him back in front of Jiang Qiao.
"This really won't make the holy spirits hate you, believe me." Jiang Qiao said to Thorne helplessly.
Jiang Qiao learned the approximate distribution of power on the star map from the Black Ash Knight, and the Black Ash Knight also revealed a key piece of information to Jiang Qiao.
That is, some of the high-ranking officials in the Sanctuary of Creation are Eternals, and they are extremely wary of the God Eater.
In the past, the descendants of the God Eater disappeared in the star map, and only a few survivors like the Black Ash Knight remained, so the Eternals in the Sanctuary of Creation did not show any hostility.
But now more than 300,000 of them suddenly appeared, and there will be an additional 500,000 in the future, and finally they will develop into the descendants of the God-Eating God that are all over the mountains and plains like the Void Zerg.
Will this group of Eternals still calmly tolerate the existence of the Holy Spirits
Jiang Qiao didn't dare to gamble, and he wasn't sure whether every Eternal was as strong as Thorn.
But just like the first time Thorne appeared in front of the Holy Spirits, Jiang Qiao needed to give players a sense of crisis and frustration.
Ordinary passers-by players may feel this kind of frustration in the ladder PVP. After being bullied by stronger players, this player will want to do everything possible to become stronger!
Improving the quality of equipment, working madly on leveling up, and practicing PVP skills like crazy are all things that players who want to pursue power will do.
But the top players in Holy Spirit don't have a strong sense of crisis. Take Caramel for example. Although he still fights Thorne every day, he gradually no longer regards Thorne as a target that must be defeated.
This was what Thorne himself told Jiang Qiao. After Caramel gained Thorne's recognition and obtained Thorne's Shadowless Sword, he focused more on the current professional duel.
Jiang Qiao didn't think there was anything wrong with Caramel's idea. After all, it was normal to pay more attention to his career than games.
But Jiang Qiao asked Thorne to come forward... There's nothing wrong with letting those top players suffer a setback, right
So Jiang Qiao decided to let Thorn go to Queen May's award ceremony... to assassinate Queen May in public. Even if the assassination failed, let Thorn rescue the poor old king.
"I know the character of May. The saints who used to watch the ring would always mention her." Thorne scratched his chin with an expression that said 'I won't be fooled by you'. "To some saints, she is more like a cat kept in the saint's home than a queen."
Cat... Jiang Qiao couldn't help but sigh that Thorne's metaphor was really clever. Most players' impression of Queen May was really that of a cat.
Miss Cat is one aspect, and the other aspect is that Queen May often acts very cold, but this kind of cold cuteness is what makes players unable to stop.
It's like the feeling that your cat hates you, but you still want to ravage it.
"Agent, let me ask you this: if I kill your cat, will you forgive me?" Thorne asked seriously.
"Then... I'm afraid it's a blood feud." Jiang Qiao said.
"So I cannot accept this commission! Even if it is fake, I cannot accept it."
Thorne said this and lay down on his side with an expression that said, "Please go back today!"
"Why? Are you scared?"
Jiang Qiao didn't expect that the world's best swordsman, the Eternal who had defeated countless professional masters in the ring, would actually feel afraid.
"I'm afraid... I'm afraid that after accepting your commission, the Holy Spirits will unite and form a team to attack me, just like my stupid disciple." The disciple Thorne was referring to here was Diris of the Annihilation Legion.
The reason why he reached an agreement with Jiang Qiao was... he wanted to enjoy the thrill of a one-on-one duel with the Holy Spirit, rather than being stuffed into a hundred-man copy by Jiang Qiao and facing a bunch of tanks, nannies, output, and train kings bombarding him in turns!
"You are not really going to assassinate Queen May. Queen May will cooperate with you to save the old king. Secondly, the players will regard you who assassinated the queen and you in the arena as two different people."
Jiang Qiao had no choice but to use the players' unique logic to explain to Thorne that it was normal for an NPC with the same model to appear in two scenes in a game!
"Two people...agents, do you really hope to let the holy spirits under your command embark on a path to transcendence?" Thorne guessed the reason why Jiang Qiao...arranged this plot.
"Crossing the extraordinary path? What kind of setting is this... Well, it is what you say."
Jiang Qiao remembered that according to the Black Ash Knight's words, the level 60 to 75 of the Holy Spirits was the threshold between ordinary creatures and near-god creatures, and the adjective "crossing" was very appropriate.
If the Holy Spirits fail to find their own way to cross over, their levels will be stuck between level 60 and level 75. Only by successfully breaking through can they continue to improve their levels.
That is the so-called...second awakening. Although the span of fifteen levels is very long, the current level cap for all players in the server is only sixty levels.
But Jiang Qiao has to start preparing.
"Okay, I accept your commission, but after it's completed, agent, you have to accept a request from me."
"Can."
In the end, Thorne picked up the pile of legendary equipment that Jiang Qiao gave him. If he went to Lionheart City to "assassinate" Queen May, he might not be fighting alone. He would have to face the Holy Spirit of an entire server.
No matter how confident he is in his abilities, Thorne has to ensure that no accidents happen.
After Thorne changed into the outfit Jiang Qiao gave him, his appearance looked extremely similar to the Sword God outfit recorded in the Holy Spirit Library...the second awakening outfit of the swordsman player.
After putting on this outfit, Thorne's level instantly increased from level 65 to level 75.
The Holy Spirit's level system for monsters is different from the Holy Spirit's own level system. It is a completely dynamic combat power display for monsters, and makes judgments based on strength. Thorne's combat power with a blank slate was level 65, and after changing his equipment, it jumped directly to level 75.
Jiang Qiao only made a set of level 60 God-Eating God equipment for Thorne, which cost only more than 3,000 points of creation energy. This level increase is definitely not Thorne's limit.
"Will my disciple show up in Lionheart City?" Thorne changed his clothes and chose a simple wooden sword as his weapon.
"You accepted that Holy Spirit as your apprentice?" Jiang Qiao was somewhat curious about the relationship between Thorn and the players recently.
"He seems to be what you call Caramel. In my opinion, he is the most talented in swordsmanship, but that's all." Thorne said.
"Caramel? Don't worry... He is the first place winner of this award ceremony, he will definitely be there... probably."
If Jiang Qiao remembered correctly, today should be the time for the major clubs of the Eagle Country. Jiang Qiao couldn't confirm whether the Coke Fanatic was already on the plane and couldn't come.
"First place... it's good to be young." Thorne replied.
