Chapter 44 - 44 Collecting Aurora Crystals! Human Lord!
44 Collecting Aurora Crystals! Human Lord!
“It’s a hidden mission?”
Zhou Zhou clicked his tongue in wonder.
In other words, were there ordinary missions too?
Moreover, the rewards for this White Platinum-Tier Elementary Grade hidden mission were rich enough.
Zhou Zhou was a little envious.
“Fish Spring Town…”
“That name sounds familiar.”
Zhou Zhou pondered.
A moment later.
He suddenly reacted.
He remembered seeing this Fish Spring Town in Wu Tu’s skill list. He had also drawn a regional map of Fish Spring Town.
“Wu Tu might know where the Fish Spring Town is!”
“I can ask him when he comes back.”
Zhou Zhou thought.
In the time that followed…
Zhou Zhou was not idle.
He began to try to obtain missions from his other subjects after knowing the existence of the mission.
In the end, he only received an ordinary mission after busying himself for the entire morning.
Everyone needed his help in some way but they could not trigger an official mission.
The only other ordinary mission was obtained from Zhao Changshou and Elder Zhao.
[Mission Name: Collect Aurora Crystals]
[Mission Quality: Green Bronze-Tier Advance Grade – Normal]
[Mission Description: Zhao Changshou found out about the predicament in two days and suggested to you to build a Green Bronze-Tier Elementary Grade Aurora Tower. Gather 10 units of Aurora Crystals and build the first kingdom-level building in the first layer of the Blazing Sun!]
[Mission Reward: One Green Bronze-Tier Advance Grade Aurora Tower, 50 Green Bronze-Tier Mist Cores and Zhao Changshou’s loyalty will increase to 90 points.]
Zhou Zhou looked at this ordinary mission thoughtfully.
It was still the Aurora Crystal.
Actually, he had been trying to collect Aurora Crystals in the exchange for a long time.
However, this material was really rare.
After so long, he had yet to receive a single unit of Aurora Crystal.
However, not all was lost.
A Lord took the initiative to look for Zhou Zhou through the exchange and proposed to trade 20 units of Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade Desert Fog Lizard meat for information on the Aurora Crystal.
After Zhou Zhou agreed, he learned the source of the Aurora Crystal from the other party.
It turned out that these Aurora Crystals were not natural ores like iron ore, copper ore, and mithril ore.
It was born in the body of the Aurora Race.
It was an important energy core equivalent to the Mist Core!
Only people of the Aurora Race at the Green Bronze-Tier and above could give birth to Aurora Crystals after death.
Therefore, in the Aurora Kingdom, Aurora Crystals were an important resource that the upper echelons of the kingdom regarded as a strategic resource. Commoners were explicitly forbidden from trading them.
Therefore, there were very few Aurora Crystals that could be circulated!
This was also why Zhou Zhou had never been able to obtain Aurora Crystals.
“Whether it’s collecting Aurora Crystals…”
“Or completing Bao Xiu’er’s hidden mission…”
“Both require me to make a trip to the Aurora Kingdom myself.”
Zhou Zhou thought.
However, this was a little risky.
He had to be prepared before he could go.
At this moment…
Ling’er sent a message.
[Spiritual Medicine Lord: Big Brother Blazing Sun, the world channel seems to be discussing you. It seems that a Lord has been captured by your subordinates and is crying for help on the world channel.]
Zhou Zhou was stunned.
Then, he immediately opened the world channel.
That was indeed the case.
The world channel was filled with discussions about him and the captured Lord.
This Lord was called Lord Mighty.
He said that he and the soldiers had gone out to look for monsters, but they were captured alive by a group of soldiers riding strange alchemy birds.
When he read the information of this group of soldiers, he realized that these soldiers were the soldiers of the famous Lord of The Blazing Sun.
This Lord Mighty was crazily begging the other Lords to think of a way to get him out of this dangerous situation.
The other Lords also expressed their opinions.
“I suggest that you surrender directly, give up your status as a Lord, and take the initiative to become a subject of Big Boss Blazing Sun. This way, he might let you live on account that we are of the same race.”
“Actually, to be honest, since the two of you are connected by geography, the two of you will fight sooner or later unless neither of you wants to expand your territory.”
“There’s no luck in the battle for the Overlord.”
“I thought Big Boss Blazing Sun had the same non-human combat power as the Dragon Lady. I didn’t expect him to be developing alchemy technology. Can alchemy technology allow the human race to be so fierce?”
“I didn’t expect Big Boss Blazing Sun to rise to power with human soldiers. I’m a fan of Big Boss Blazing Sun just based on this alone!”
“We’re all from the Cerulean Planet. Why must we fight? What does Lord of The Blazing Sun mean by capturing Lord Mighty? Is he going to kill his fellow countryman?”
“Maybe. I think the Lord of The Blazing Sun is a person who will do anything to develop his own power. Just look at his profiteering behavior previously. Lord Mighty is probably going to suffer.”
“If the Lord of The Blazing Sun really does this, I’ll blacklist him for the rest of my life!”
“Why do I meet such saintly b*tches everywhere?!”
“Lord Mighty: But I don’t want to die! I don’t want to lose my status as a Lord either. I’ve never done anything bad. Why do I encounter such a thing!”
“Tsk tsk, I’ve long since stopped wanting to be a Lord who could lose his head at any time. If I were you, I would directly give up my status as a Lord and cozy up to the Lord of The Blazing Sun!”
“I think so too. It’s too dangerous to be a Lord. It might as well be a subject of a powerful Lord.”
…
It seemed that Bai Yi and the others had really captured that human lord.
Moreover, it was really a Lord of their Cerulean Planet.
Zhou Zhou pondered after reading it.
He had long expected the opinions expressed by these Lords.
Therefore, he did not let Bai Yi and the others kill them directly. Instead, he chose to capture them.
He did not expect…
That it actually caused a commotion among the Lords of the Cerulean Planet.
Zhou Zhou did not panic.
With his current strength, he was not afraid at all unless hundreds of Lords jointly attacked him.
“But we still have to prepare early.”
Zhou Zhou thought.
Half an hour later.
Bai Yi and the others were back with eight soldiers who were taken prisoner but they stood outside the novice lord’s protective barrier and protected them for the time being.
That was because the captives could not be brought through the novice lord’s protective barrier.
After Zhou Zhou found out, he first turned on the world channel’s recording function before going out to see them.
“My Lord, I didn’t disappoint you!”
Bai Yi said respectfully.
“Well done.”
Zhou Zhou praised. Then, his gaze swept across the eight captives and quickly found Lord Mighty.
This Lord Mighty was about 20 years old. He looked ordinary and was wearing archery equipment. However, his bows and arrows had already been taken away.
At this moment, he was looking at Zhou Zhou in silence, a look of unwillingness flashing across the depths of his eyes.
The mission panel information appeared in front of him.
[Lord Title: Mighty Lord]
[Territory: World City]
[Soldier Type: Archer]
[Strength Level: Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade]
[Ability Overview: A human lord from the Cerulean Planet who was lucky enough to obtain an Archer Class Change Certificate and became an archer. He yearns for the legendary position of the Overlord!]
[Skill: Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade Archery]
[Loots: Four Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores (Drop Rate: 100%), one gradeless Archer Class Change Certificate (Drop Rate: 0.1%), six Black Iron-Tier Lord Talent Crystal Fragments (Drop Rate: 0%)]
Zhou Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly.
Originally, his idea was that he could spare his life if his attitude was good and was willing to become his subject…
But now, he saw that he yearned for the legendary position of the Overlord in his Ability Overview.
Coupled with what he said on the world channel…
He suddenly realized something.
This person would probably not be so willing to give up his status as a Lord and become his subject.
Zhou Zhou thought for a moment and quickly had an idea.
