Chapter 60 The Plot
“They called themselves Dark Army. Their leaders were demons that were not a member of the Land of God. They were powerful, bloodthirsty, and unstoppable. Because they could control the dead, they created the undead. The fiercer the war, the stronger the Dark Army would become. Because the soldiers who died on the battlefield would turn into the undead and become members of their army.”
“This was a disaster and it nearly destroyed the entire Land of God.”
“All the races living in the Land of God prayed to their gods to stop this disaster.”
“The great gods responded by helping us to resist the Dark Army with their extraordinary power.”
“But the power of the demons was beyond the expectations of the gods. They attacked the demons in person but still failed to wipe out all of them. So the gods stopped trying to kill them, instead, they sealed all the demons and wiped the Dark Army which had no leaders from the Land of God.”
“But this is not a permanent solution. Although most of the members of the Dark Army were killed, some of them slipped through the net. They hid in the corners of the Land of God, accumulated forces, and waited for their opportunities. And the demons that were sealed might get off the hook one day.”
“As a result, all gods worked together and uttered a prediction. They gave an oracle to all the residents of the Land of God. Soon afterward, the adventurers from another world would flood into the Land of God. They were immortal and vigorous and would never be killed. Besides, there were a large number of them. They would help us to fight against the Dark Army. With their help, the Dark Army would never become a threat to us no matter how strong it was. Therefore, the gods told the aborigines of the Land of God to try their best to help the adventurers from another world. They needed to grow up quickly and become strong enough to fight against the Dark Army. You are the adventurers.”
To his surprise, Bishop Kaiser started to read the plot. But Xiaofeng was very patient. He listened to the Bishop carefully without missing a single word.
“Haha, you’re a brave warrior. I’m sure that you are the hope of the light forces as soon as I see you. Bolton had told me your heroic performance. Without you, he might have already been killed in the ambush of the evil Big Lich.”
Bishop Kaiser looked at Xiaofeng and smiled. Then he continued to say, “I notice that you have the great potential of the adventurer. You are still weak now but you can help Bolton to defeat the dark skeleton soldiers of the Big Lich. When you grow up, you will definitely become the mainstay of our Temple of Light. This must be the guide of the God of Light.”
“Hey! You’ve finished the storyline task – the Bright Leadership! You’ve got 20,000 experience points. Rewards: all the NPC of the Temple of Light’s good opinion of you + 10 and Captain Bolton’s good opinion of you + 20.”
The system announced that he had finished the task. To his surprise, he got not only the experience points but also good opinions as a reward.
In Myth, the lowest good opinion of the NPC was 0 while the highest figure was 100. An NPC was neutral and had Yellow Name when its good opinion was 50. When a player entered the game, all the NPCs of the same camp had 60 points of good opinion, and they were friendly. If players helped the NPC by doing tasks, the good opinion would rise to 70 points and they would become kind.
Xiaofeng didn’t expect that all the NPC of the Temple of Light had 70 points of good opinion and Captain Bolton had 80 points of good opinion and trusted in him after he had finished the first step of the storyline task.
“Our Temple of Light is the place where the believers of God of Light gather. This is the god of the human race. Your piety has been manifested through the Ring of Faith in your hands, and Captain Bolton has told me about your bravery, so I would like to represent the Temple of Light and praise you. This is your honor and the guide of the God of Light.”
Bishop Kaiser said. A silver badge appeared in his hand and he handed it to Xiaofeng.
Xiaofeng reached out and took it. Then he looked at this silver badge with the advanced scouting.
Badge of honor: Bright Apostle
Type: special equipment
Attributes: After you wear it, all the NPCs of the bright camp will have a better opinion of you while all the NPCs of the dark camp will have a higher hatred value for you.
Particularity: After you wear it, the title of Bright Apostle will appear above your character name.
The silver badge was engraved with a little angel and it was actually a piece of special equipment. It didn’t increase the basic attributes of the player but it had special attributes.
Xiaofeng immediately wore it. The player needed to wear it on the chest and could choose to conceal it. But Xiaofeng was more interested in its special attributes.
Xiaofeng suddenly had an idea. After he wore it, the title of Bright Apostle suddenly appeared above the place of the character name. But Xiaofeng had concealed his character name, so it seemed that the title of Bright Apostle was his name. Others couldn’t find the difference if they didn’t look at it carefully.
Xiaofeng touched his chain. If he went to the clothing store to buy a fashionable veil and put this title in the proper place, he could perfectly hide his identity.
“Captain Bolton had told me what had happened in the Muguang Forest. This is the conspiracy of the remaining forces of the Dark Army. They fought with us and both sides suffered great losses. Besides, they also built the transmission array outside Tianlong City when we were careless. It is very likely that their target is the entire Tianlong City.”
Bishop Kaiser looked more serious and continued to say, “We don’t know what is behind the unfinished transmission array. It might even be a large remaining Dark Force. But I’m sure that we are not strong enough to keep them at bay.”
Xiaofeng wanted to tell Bishop Kaiser that the transmission array had already been torn down by him and there was an angle covered with mud in the bottom of the lake, but he hesitated for a moment and didn’t say anything.
“So we need to inform the headquarter of the Temple of Light immediately and asked for their support. However, the headquarter is now in the ‘occurrence’ ceremony. Under the influence of the huge space power, all the transmission arrays connected with our branch are temporarily invalid. So we can only send someone to convey this message.”
Bishop Kaiser continued to say, “Brave Bright Apostle, could you please convey this message for us?”
“Hey! Do you accept the storyline task 2 – the Light Conveyance? Tip: the transmission arrays can’t work now, so you need to go to the headquarters of the Temple of Light. It’s located in the Bright Mountain in the eastern part of the Land of God. You may pass through the territory of many high-level wild monsters.”
This seemed to be the second step of the storyline task. Although there was also no difficulty warning, Xiaofeng was sure that it must be very difficult after looking at the task tips. But he still accepted it without hesitation.
“I accept!”
“Brave Bright Apostle, you don’t let me down. This is my personal letter, please give it to the Goddess of Light by tomorrow. You can take this scroll. It can send you to a certain main city of the human race which is the closest to the Bright Mountain. I hope it can help you.”
Bishop Kaiser nodded with relief. He took out two scrolls and handed them to Xiaofeng. The white paper scroll was a letter and the parchment one was a transmission scroll of the Shengshui City.
A time limit was set for the second step of the task. Xiaofeng only had half a day to finish it. He may fail this mission if he couldn’t finish it by tomorrow.
After Xiaofeng took over the two scrolls, Bishop Kaiser urged him to hurry up and set out. Xiaofeng didn’t want to stay here after receiving the task. He talked to them for a while and found that he couldn’t trigger any other stories. So he turned and left immediately.
“Dad, are you going to the Bright Mountain now?”
Xiaofeng left the Tianlong City branch and was about to walk out the door. But he suddenly heard the squeaking sound of the armors coming behind him. Someone was also talking.
Xiaofeng went blank and then realized that they seemed to be calling him. He immediately turned around.
Sure enough, he saw a large group of bright knights walking to him. Captain Bolton was their leader and he was calling him.
“Yes! Captain Bolton, where are you going?”
Xiaofeng was stunned for a while and quickly asked. There were over one hundred knights walking behind Captain Bolton. It was obvious that they were going to finish important tasks. Xiaofeng asked immediately and hoped that he could receive another task.
“We are going to the Muguang Forest to destroy the magic array. If the Dark Army really wants to attack us, we can put off their preparation by destroying their array.”
Captain Bolton still looked energetic. His silver armor shone and he said confidently to Xiaofeng, “Don’t worry. I take the entire knight group with me this time. We can definitely defeat them even if there are ten evil Big Liches in the transmission array.”
Xiaofeng opened his mouth but didn’t say anything. He still didn’t tell him that the transmission array had already been torn down by him. Captain Bolton should go to see it himself.
“By the way, Dad, I have something to tell you.”
Captain Bolton suddenly became serious and said, “If you meet the Goddess of Light, you must ask her to let you be baptized in the Holy Mountain. This will greatly enhance your strength.”
“Baptism? What is baptism?” Xiaofeng asked. It was not the first time he had heard this word.
“There is a Bright Pool in the Bright Mountain. Believers who have made great contributions to the Temple of Light can enter it for baptism. The pure power of light will enter your body based on your piety and your affinity with the light. It may change the profession of the adventurers. You can change to the bright ritualist from the common ritualist.”
Xiaofeng’s eyes lit up after hearing what Captain Bolton had said. He could choose a hidden profession! It was excellent!
Xiaofeng immediately became excited and wanted to rush up the Bright Mountain. But he wanted to ask Captain Bolton a question.
“Captain Bolton, is the Goddess of Light at the headquarters of the Temple of Light the God of Light?”
“No, all the gods, including the God of Light, are not in the Land of God. The Goddess of Light is the spokesperson of the God of Light and the supreme administrator of the Temple of Light. She is a beautiful and respectable goddess!”
Captain Bolton said. Xiaofeng could clearly see the admiration and appreciation in his eyes.
