Jiang Qiao, who had made the decision to go on an expedition to another world, also discussed it with other players who knew about it.
Their decision was to support Jiang Qiaogou's plan to open such a... copy.
So Jiangqiao held a celebration, a celebration held in Lionheart City.
Because after high-end dungeons like the Void Secret Realm and Black Tide Island were cancelled, players had nothing to do.
The Lionheart City celebration held by Queen May was very lively, with many activities and rewards, so many players in the Holy Spirit gathered together.
"Really... do you want to tell me everything?"
Queen May was communicating with Jiang Qiao in her bedroom in Lionheart City. What she was going to say next... might tell the public everything about the Holy Spirit.
"Well, there is nothing to hide now. Uh... Although I have concealed many things, this battle is equivalent to everyone risking their lives. I can't keep it secret from the Holy Spirits, right?"
Jiang Qiao has made preparations, but he does not intend to reveal his true identity as the dog planner. However, he feels it is necessary to tell the players some truths about the Holy Spirit.
"I see."
Queen May put the crown on her head. After experiencing what happened to herself in the parallel world, she deeply understood how important the current Holy Spirits were to her.
So Queen May came to the platform in her gorgeous attire. In the square of Lionheart City below were nearly half of the players in the Holy Spirit server.
Some of the other half of the players watched the celebration through live broadcast online.
"Holy Spirits!"
Queen May's voice, filled with faint majesty, resounded throughout the Lionheart City...but the players didn't listen at all.
Players are now catching pigs and wind elves on the streets. This is one of the activity games in today's celebration.
Various puff pigs and wind elves that look like light balls appeared on the streets. Players could get various rewards after catching them. The best reward was a ten-ticket bonus for Freya's wardrobe.
"Golden rare piggy!"
"Get out of the way, you pigs! That's mine!"
Queen May could vaguely hear the chaotic sounds in Lionheart City. Logically speaking... as a citizen, she should listen to this solemn moment when the queen is giving a speech on the podium with a solemn and respectful attitude.
It’s a pity that compared to Queen May’s speech, players are more concerned about where new Puff Pigs are spawning on the streets.
But the celebratory atmosphere may end here.
"Holy Spirits... I have something very important to announce today." Queen May took a deep breath and announced some... truths about herself. "First of all, I am not an NPC in the Holy Spirit, nor am I a piece of data in the game. I am a real person, May Stein. This is my real name. I am the 27th Queen of the Ancient Stein Empire."
Only a few players on the street heard what Queen May said, but many players still stopped catching pigs and looked up at Queen May, or rather, at the projection on the side of the street.
"Is May a real person? Are there usually actors performing in the show?"
"It's very common for game company employees to play NPCs in VR games."
Players still believe that Queen May's declaration is just a necessary part of the activities in the game.
At this time, we need to ask Jiang Qiao's agent to tell the players... Queen May is serious.
"Your Majesty!" The frontline reporter who hadn't been seen for a long time emerged from the crowd. "You mean you are a real person... Are you trying to say... someone is playing the NPC Queen May now?"
"No, no one is playing me. I am May Stein. Maybe from the perspective of you Holy Spirits, I am a BOSS in the dungeon, a very popular NPC, but to me... you are the heroes who saved me." Queen May said this from the bottom of her heart.
But this sentence made the players fall into deeper confusion. Queen May knew that she couldn't explain it clearly with just her own words, so Jiang Qiao had already made preparations.
"If you are in Upper City, Seoul, San Francisco, Paris, or Tokyo, please leave the world of the Holy Spirit for a while and take a look at the scenery in the real world. I have already sent my five knights to the real world."
Queen May's words were broadcast live on all live streaming websites around the world. Originally, these live streaming websites only treated it as a gaming event, but Queen May's words instantly aroused the interest of the players.
Among them was Jiang Qiao who came to join in the fun. Jiang Qiao had long since withdrawn from the Holy Spirit...Yesterday Jiang Qiao bought a plane ticket to Upper City, and today he booked a hotel next to the Huangpu River in Upper City.
This hotel has a great view and you can see all the scenery of the upper city and Huangpu River at a glance.
"Hai Lan... do you think I should grab a glass of red wine and give some evil speech now?" Jiang Qiao stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the Huangpu River in the upper city, which was slightly frosty.
It is now winter and the temperature around us is starting to drop to zero.
"Well, we're not villains." Hai Lan complained somewhat dissatisfiedly.
"But what we are doing now is a bit like being a villain." Jiang Qiao opened a bottle of Coke and poured it into a tall glass. He shook it in a serious manner and said, "Let the Lionheart Knight and the Flame Cinder Dragon... bring some warmth to this cold winter."
As he spoke, Jiang Qiao raised his wine glass, and the frosty mist in the glass was instantly... completely dispelled by the sun rising over the river.
At this moment, all the people in the city who are still rushing to work early...are experiencing the most profound day of their lives.
A dragon, a giant dragon with flames burning on its body appeared in the sky above the upper city!
"what is that?"
"Holographic... holographic projection?"
Holographic projection has been launched for so long that many people feel that any fantasy creatures that appear on the streets are basically holographic projections and are no longer surprising.
But... this Flame Cinder Dragon is not a holographic projection, this time... it really came to the real world!
"There are no ships passing below. Spread your wings, little one."
The Lionheart Knight, who was standing on the dragon head of the Flame Cinders, patted its head gently. The Lionheart Knight had not done nothing during his time on Brand Island.
At the very least... he made a lot of dragon friends, and the Flame Dragon was one of them.
Under the command of the Lionheart Knight, the Flame Dragon spread its wings, and the frost fog on the river surface was instantly dissipated, so that the temperature emitted by the Flame Dragon was too high, causing the water on the river surface to begin to show signs of evaporation.
The crowd watching around were completely frightened by the Flame Cinder Dragon's outburst.
Temperature...unimaginable temperature spread throughout the entire river bank.
"It seems that dragon is really not a holographic projection!"
“Run!”
For a moment, the entire riverside fell into chaos, and the Flame Dragon hurriedly retracted the flames on his body.
The Lionheart Knight had anticipated this scene. He sprinkled some incense pollen that had a calming effect, and the panic of the people around him was instantly calmed down a lot.
Then, the Flame Cinder Dragon landed on an open space by the river with a very gentle movement. In order not to trample the surrounding flowers and plants, the Flame Cinder Dragon lay on the ground quietly like a cat.
"Everyone, we have no ill intentions." The Lionheart Knight spoke loudly to the people around him.
Unfortunately, no one believed it. Various sirens sounded everywhere, and soon the Flame Cinder Dragon was completely surrounded.
At this moment, the Lionheart Knight finally experienced what it meant to be a five-star wanted man, but he did not make any extreme moves. After taking off his helmet, he sat down quietly on the street with the Flame Cinder Dragon.
On the contrary, the braver people around not only did not leave, but also curiously came up to the Flame Dragon and touched its warm mane.
You know, even the Holy Spirit didn't have this kind of treatment at the beginning. It's a pity that ordinary people were separated by relevant personnel before they could touch it for long.
Jiang Qiao saw that the Lionheart Knight would be treated as an alien as expected.
This is also happening in several other countries around the world, for example... on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco...
The Black Cinder Knight is facing an entire fully armed special operations team, who are pointing their guns at the Black Cinder Knight... and the young version of the Doomsday Dragon behind the Black Cinder Knight.
This End Dragon was hatched from a dragon egg adopted by Queen May and tamed by the Black Ash Knight. It is approximately fifteen meters long.
"Your guns pose no threat to me. I'll just stand here for a while and leave after a while." The Black Cinder Knight yawned as he looked at the special operations team.
The other party also felt that the Black Embers Knight had no hostility, and quickly sent diplomats to negotiate with the Black Embers Knight.
In Tokyo, another country, Wasp Knight sat alone on the top of the Tokyo Tower. Behind Wasp Knight, a giant snake was entangled on the tower.
"I don't know how long I'll have to stay here." Wasp Knight looked at the crowd gathered on the ground below. A large group of people had already gathered under the Tokyo Tower, shouting something like "Monster!"
The sound of helicopter propellers around him also made Wasp Knight feel a little annoyed.
The only thing that made Wasp Knight feel a little more at ease was that... she could contact Wolf Knight far away in Paris through the built-in voice function of the game... and chat with Wolf Knight.
"Just be patient for a moment. The people here are very nice to me."
The Wolf Knight is under the Eiffel Tower, and the summoned beast he carries is easier for ordinary people to accept.
It was a giant gray wolf with a body length of six meters. The wolf lay on the ground with its eyes closed. The brave tourists around even dared to come over and touch the giant wolf's fur and take photos with the wolf rider.
"Why do I hear a woman's voice next to you?"
"I was...actually taking a picture with a group of ladies."
"Your Majesty did not ask us to come to the human world for you to come into contact with the people of this world!"
Putting aside the quarrel between the Wasp Knight and the Wolf Knight, the ones going to Seoul were the Hawkeye Knight and the Axeman.
Hawkeye Knight and the Axeman did not bring any summoned beasts, but Hawkeye Knight had the bloodline of a giant and was three meters tall. Just by standing there, it was clear... this was definitely not a real person.
The five or six knights under Queen May appeared in reports from all over the world one after another... and instantly became a hot topic around the world.
When Jiang Qiao returned to the Holy Spirit again... not many players cared about Puchi Pig anymore, and everyone's attention was focused on Queen May.
"Don't run! You pigs!"
Well…except McCafe.
