After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Chapter 580: 431. Flame Giant Spirit and Anna’s Goal_2
 

Always tracking them, Lulu had mentioned the unusual gaze…

It might also be related to Anna.

What is their true intention?

Five-star characters are strong, but each is hard to control.

During the era of the Primitive Adventure Team, Lin Da also relied on the absolute power of Dark Shadow to suppress them.

Once their positions were exchanged,

it was hard to ensure that those monster-level powerful Five-Star Characters would still obediently follow his commands.

In the living room, Anna sat on a small sofa, her hands folded in front of her lower abdomen, appearing harmless to humans and animals.

But the members of the Phoenix Tail Flower Team did not dare to be negligent and surrounded her.

“Everyone, don’t be nervous, I’m not here to take Lin Da away,”

A look of dejection flashed across Anna’s face as she sighed,

“The Primitive Adventure Team is long gone.

Nobody is going to come back,

even if the captain announces a comeback…

The first to arrive will be assassins from the Demons.”

Three years ago, when Dark Shadow disappeared, the Primitive Adventure Team also disbanded on the spot.

Anna did not lie about this; past issues of ‘Voice of the Empire’ can testify.

“So what exactly are you here to do?” Tasya pulled out a Magic Cannon, its blue, honeycomb-shaped barrel against the back of Anna’s head, and said coldly, “Answer truthfully.”

No one could be sure that the members who were once loyal to Dark Shadow remained loyal.

As a maid, Tasya was prepared to dirty her hands for her master.

If Anna had malicious intentions, Tasya wouldn’t mind letting that little head explode.

Lin Da understood this as well.

Favorability ≠ Loyalty.

For example, the Vice-Captain of Primitive, although his favorability was 100 points, he always held his blushing face, looking at himself with a chilling gaze, and his catchphrase was “How I wish I had a delicate doll like the captain.”

Anna was somewhat more normal than the Vice-Captain, but only marginally.

Moreover, the real world is different from the game. In games, once favorability is added, it never drops.

In Another World, it’s possible to lose one point of favorability for not buying equipment for the team members.

Lin Da was also unclear how much of Anna’s former 95 points of favorability remained after three years.

In the worst case scenario, it could have dropped to 15 points.

Lin Da took on the role of playing the good guy, asking Tasya to lower the Magic Cannon, and looked at Anna with a gentle gaze, saying, “Tell them the real purpose of your visit.”

Anna smiled and said, “Before that, could I have a cup of tea? The kind with ‘tomato sauce’.”

Lin Da frowned, the image of Anna’s true form coming to mind, and he turned to Tasya and said, “Get the duck blood from the fridge.”

Soon, Tasya returned with a cup of duck blood and handed it to Anna.

Anna gulped it down, her pale complexion easing somewhat.

“Where should I start…”

After gathering her thoughts, Anna said, “The primary goal, of course, is to help the captain.

You probably don’t know, but under the influence of the Demon King’s power, the lost Aweis Dynasty is beginning to resurgence.

The most direct evidence is the discovery of Aweis Serpent People, thought to be long extinct, in various locations.

In the Mystic Realm, Magical Creatures belonging to Aweis are appearing more and more frequently.

A Great Sage has prophesied that the guardian divine beast of the Aweis Dynasty, the ‘World Devouring Magic Snake,’ will awaken within ten years.

And what will have the greatest impact on you, is the Flame Giant.

The Flame Giant was a warrior of the Aweis Dynasty!

With the resurgence of the dynasty, the Flame Giant is likely evolving…

Into a Decurion*Flame Giant Spirit.”

The living room fell into a long silence.

The Great Sage, the World Devouring Magic Snake, the Aweis Dynasty…these matters concern the entire continent.

If Anna was not lying, the Mystic Continent is about to experience a significant shock.

With the internal strife in the Orc Kingdom and the rise in the price of Purple Gold Coins, followed by the resurgence of the Aweis Dynasty,

every time the Demon King reappears, the Mystic Continent will face a series of cataclysms.

All signs are proving that the day the Demon King breaks the Seal will definitely be within the next century.

Tasya and the others couldn’t judge the truthfulness of Anna’s words and looked towards Lin Da.

Lin Da closed his eyes, a myriad of thoughts flashing through his mind.

The so-called Aweis Dynasty, a realm founded by the Serpent People.

It was annihilated thousands of years ago by adventurers.

If the Aweis Dynasty still exists today, it would be precisely located in Cangqing Province.

“During the closure period of the Great Mystery Continent, I indeed encountered Aweis Serpent Soldiers and the Snake People Chieftain.”

Lia’s eyes were also injured by the Aweis Serpent People.”

Based on recent news reports, the likelihood of adventurers encountering snake people in the Great Mystery Continent has increased compared to usual.”

But these alone aren’t enough to verify that Anna is telling the truth.

A memory buried deep in Lin Da’s mind surfaced before his eyes.

It was a version update notice for “Mystic Continent.”

One of the updates was that a new large instance “Resurgence of the Aweis Dynasty” was in development, scheduled to be launched later this year.

But for some reasons, this instance was put on hold for several years, and it never launched.

Eventually, it just fizzled out inconclusively.

There were rumors that the instance was mostly completed, but because it conflicted with the main storyline, it was abandoned.

And now,

Lin Da heard about the revival of the Aweis Dynasty again from Anna.

Considering the scrapped Aweis instance in the game…

There’s a very high chance that it is true!

In the Mystic Realm, all magical creatures belonging to Aweis will be empowered.

The already difficult-to-subdue Flame Giant might evolve into a Decurion*Flame Giant Spirit.

Both are Epic Five-Star Monsters,

but there are differences even among Five-star ranks.

The Flame Giant utterly outclasses its predecessor; there shouldn’t be a problem.

Now, the pressure fell on Lin Da.

He couldn’t stop the revival of the Aweis Dynasty, nor could he interfere.

World Tree, on the 19th level, was a real obstacle.

“Don’t worry.” Anna seemed to sense what he was thinking, giving a mysterious smile as a glow flickered in her palm.

A cylindrical stone appeared before Lin Da.

This cylindrical stone was red, crystal clear, emitting a strong fire element aura.

But it was not overly hot, rather it gave off a mild warmth that energized anyone who came into contact with it.

Seeing it, everyone in the Phoenix Tail Flower team was momentarily stunned.

It was the last ingredient needed for the fire-resistant potion, the Flame Glazed Stone!

“Consider it a welcome gift from me to the captain.”

Anna blinked her eyes, sweetly saying, “Please accept it, captain.”

“What’s your real purpose? You surely didn’t come to help Phoenix Tail Flower out of goodwill,” Lin Da said helplessly.

In the game’s plot, Anna was a character full of tricks, never offering kindness without ulterior motives.

Anna placed the Flame Glazed Stone on the table, saying, “There’s definitely something I need the captain for. I even mentioned that joining the team to assist the captain was only my ‘primary’ purpose.”

“What about the secondary purpose?” Lin Da asked.

Anna smiled and said, “Please, captain, help me eliminate three people.”

If it’s someone like you who has killed countless Demon Adventurers, you can definitely do it easily.

I don’t believe you’ve actually become the good samaritan the rumors claim.”

The black-dressed young woman’s smile was gentle, but her crimson eyes emitted a chilling, bloodthirsty light, and her words sent a cold draft through the living room, halving its temperature.

Lin Da closed his eyes and pondered for a moment.”

“First, tell me, which three people?”

“The first one…”

Anna said with a grin, “Cold Moon Fire, the Coldmoon Duke.”

The room fell into a stifling silence.

Lulu said sternly, “You really do want to kill the captain.”

Cold Moon Fire ranked in the top ten of the Sacred Tree Ranking.

One of the ten strongest adventurers on the Mystic Continent.

The magic cannon of Tasya was gathered with blue light, always ready to release a killer shot.

Murdering any of the Four Great Dukes was a crime of treason.

Despite being a Royal Capital’s Person, they know the law and yet break the law.

Someone like Anna, she should have been executed on the guillotine at least three times.

Lin Da sat on the sofa, his hand supporting his chin, pondering for a long while.

“What’s the reason?”

He looked calmly at Anna.”

Anna grinned and said, “You truly are the captain, not shaken at the mention of the Coldmoon Duke. Is your confidence coming from real strength, or have you premeditated a plan?”
