The gloomy sky was gradually replaced by twilight, and the entire world seemed to have sunk into darkness.
Only the occasional flash of lightning in the sky illuminated the desolate wilderness, and the sound of thunder was faintly discernible.
Occasionally, the roars of monsters could be heard from afar, accompanied by the whistling of the night wind, making people unavoidably nervous.
Ados and the other three stood guard in front of a dilapidated house, vigilantly watching their surroundings.
Suddenly, an obscure energy fluctuation came from the house behind them, and golden rays of light shot out from the dilapidated windows in all directions …
Noticing this scene, the few of them instantly felt their hearts in their mouths.
The next moment, the dilapidated door was pushed open, and Tony's figure walked out of the house.
His aura had already faintly changed, and there was still an unconcealable excitement on his face.
"Sir Ados, thank you."
He walked in front of Ados, thanking him as he presented the beautiful and holy small statue of the goddess with both hands.
Ados hurriedly received it respectfully.
His gaze could not help but curiously size up Tony, surprised and puzzled.
The other three were the same. Their gazes fell on Tony, seeming rather curious.
Noticing their gazes, Tony smiled faintly.
He looked at Ados, who was hesitating to speak, and said,
"Sir Ados, what's the matter? Do you have anything you want to say? "
Hearing Tony's words, Ados nodded.
"Hmm … Yes, I'm indeed curious about some things. I wanted to ask just now, Sir Tony, you … What rank are you exactly? In my perception, you seem to have just advanced to Dark Iron, but when I first saw you, I clearly remember that you displayed a powerful silver skill … "
Tony was slightly stunned, then laughed out loud. He did not hide it, but explained frankly, "Sir Ados, you're right.
"Your Excellency Ados, you're right. I've just been promoted to Black Iron, but … as the Chosen One of the Goddess, I've been blessed by the Goddess when I descended. I'm able to display Silver-level power for a certain period of time."
"So that's how it is!"
Ados was enlightened.
Then, he hesitated for a moment, then carefully asked,
"Then … Sir Tony, in other words, although you're only at the Dark Iron rank, you can still continue to display silver-level strength?"
"There's a time limit, and it can only be used as a trump card for a certain period of time."
Tony thought for a moment, then answered.
Ados's eyes lit up, and the rest of the people also became spirited.
The old man opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
Tony's heart stirred slightly.
"Lord Ados, do you have anything else to say?"
"Erm … Indeed … Lord Tony, to tell you the truth, I actually have something to discuss with you."
Ados said.
As he spoke, he took a deep breath and looked at Tony expectantly.
"Lord Tony, we plan to head to Dawn Fort. Would you be willing to travel with us?"
Tony was stunned for a moment before he laughed.
"Of course, my dear Lord Ados, I was lost in the first place and didn't know where to go! After finding out that this was the Western Continent, I had already planned to head to Dawn Fort. Even if you hadn't mentioned it, I would've requested to travel with you! "
Aldos was overjoyed.
"That's great! With your participation, our chances of completing the mission will be much higher! "
"I'm just going with the flow, and I'll do my best. As a Chosen One summoned by the Goddess, helping believers of Life is my duty."
Tony said with a smile.
At this moment, he had completely immersed himself in his role and saw himself as a Chosen One warrior fighting for the Goddess.
With that, he glanced at the time on the system and checked the small map in the upper right corner.
"Shall we set off now?"
Tony asked.
"No, Lord Tony, the night in the Western Continent is the most dangerous. Even if you can display Silver-level strength, we'll be in danger if we encounter a large-scale Fallen Beast Tide."
Ados shook his head.
"That's right, it's safer to travel during the day. Let's rest for a while and set off when the weather is better."
The female wizard, Mirel, also said.
After hearing their words, Tony nodded.
"Then let's continue our journey tomorrow. It just so happens that … I also need some time to look up some information."
"Information?"
"Hmm … Nothing. I mean, it's a good time to familiarize myself with my newly promoted strength."
…
Just like that, Tony joined the escort team of Ados and the others.
They set up camp and decided to continue their journey the next day during the day.
The dilapidated village became a temporary camp for the group of people. They drew lots to decide who would take turns to keep watch.
However, Ados politely declined Tony's participation. In his words, Tony was a noble Chosen One and did not need to bother him with such trivial matters.
Tony declined for a while and agreed.
To be honest, the realism of Elven Nation was too high. He was not confident that he could keep watch at night.
Besides, he did need to use the rest time to figure out some things.
Getting into the sleeping bag provided by Ados and the others, Tony looked at the rolling clouds in the sky through the broken window. He took a deep breath, connected to the game system, and logged on to the game's official website.
Today was the day that the new player quota for this month officially took effect. He did not believe that he was the only player who chose to descend in the World of Dawn.
Since he encountered the problem of descending in the wrong place, it was very likely that other people were in a similar situation.
With this thought in mind, Tony logged on to the official forum.
Sure enough, on the official forum, he saw a lot of new posts that were similar to this.
They were all posted today, and they were all posted after he arrived.
Many players encountered the same situation as him and landed in the wrong place.
Moreover, they landed not only in the Western Continent but also in the entire World of Dawn.
Tony was considered lucky. Among the players who landed at the wrong location, some unlucky fellows fell directly into the sea. Worse still, they fell directly into the lair of the Fallen Demonic Beasts. In the blink of an eye, they died.
However, this incident did not cause too much trouble for the players.
Because everyone was only level 1 when they were born, even if they died, there was no punishment. They could be resurrected in Flash, where the World Tree was planted. It was not a big deal.
Of course, now that Tony had decided to travel with Ados and the others, he probably could not use this method.
Not only that, but he was already at the Iron level. Without enough resurrection tokens, if he died, he would lose a level.
But at least this gave Tony some confidence.
He knew that as long as he wanted to, he could "automatically return to the city" at any time.
"But … why did this happen? Is it a system bug? "
After knowing that he was not the only one who encountered this problem, Tony became curious about the reason for landing in the wrong place.
Continuing to look at the posts on the official forum, he soon found the answer.
It was a post by a player with the ID "Anne of France". The post was in French.
Although Tony did not speak French, the translation software in the virtual era was no longer what it used to be. It could be solved with one click.
After browsing the post, Tony also learned the cause and effect of this incident.
This incident was not a system bug but a man-made one.
The matter began with the construction of the cross-continent ultra-long-distance teleportation array. This array was two-way. One end was in Dawn Stronghold, and the other end was in the Holy City of Flash.
As early as three days ago, the energy-gathering core to build the teleportation array had been found by the players.
The most important thing for the ultra-long-distance teleportation array was the energy-gathering core. With the energy-gathering core, the rest was easy.
Dawn Stronghold and the Holy City of Flash started the process of building the teleportation array at the same time. It took three days to complete the construction of the ultra-long-distance teleportation array.
However, when debugging the newly built teleportation array today, there was a problem with the magic energy-gathering core.
Perhaps because it was too old, the energy-gathering core of Dawn Stronghold exploded on the spot, directly causing a spatial storm that affected half of Flash and the entire Dawn Stronghold.
Most of the players were fine, but the unlucky ones who happened to land in Flash were directly teleported to various places due to the chaotic power of space.
Including Tony.
Seeing this, Tony did not know whether to laugh or cry.
He was also unlucky. If he had logged in a few minutes later and waited for the power of the spatial storm to subside, he would not have been directly thrown to the Western Continent.
But … it was also good. If not for this freak combination of factors, he would not have met Ados and the others.
At the end of the post, Anne of France also issued a high reward. Whoever could provide a new magic energy-gathering core would receive a huge reward of up to one million contribution points from the European Alliance and the Mengmeng Committee.
Seeing this, Tony raised an eyebrow.
"The Mengmeng Committee?"
He was no stranger to the European Alliance. Before entering the game, he had done his homework in advance. He knew that it was the largest international guild and also the guild that controlled the eastern continent of the World of Dawn.
As for the Mengmeng Committee …
Tony felt that he had heard this strange name somewhere before.
Curious, he searched for it. After some searching, he finally knew the origin of the other party.
"So it's one of the seven major guilds of China!"
Looking at the introduction in the Virtual Encyclopedia, Tony suddenly understood.
China had a large number of players. After the recent major updates, the total number of players had exceeded five million.
With a large number of players, there would naturally be a large number of guilds. Among them, there were seven largest guilds, each with more than three hundred thousand players. Their forces were spread across the various planes of the Elven Kingdom.
The Mengmeng Committee was one of them. It was said that not only did it control nearly half of the real estate in the main cities of the Segers world, but it also conquered an exclusive plane in the New World.
Of course, because it was smaller than the World of Dawn and the World Tree Branch was cut later, it was not chosen as a spawn point like the World of Dawn.
However, the Mengmeng Committee also had a stronghold in the World of Dawn. It was none other than Dawn Stronghold in the Western Continent!
The establishment of the ultra-long-distance teleportation portal this time was also a collaboration between the Mengmeng Committee and the European Alliance.
"If that's the case … the magic gathering core that Aldos and the others were escorting is the key item for the construction of the teleportation portal. If that's the case, I have to complete this mission properly.
"It's just that I have to confirm my specific location. If I remember correctly, I've seen it on YouTube's livestream. It seems that there's an explored map shared on the official forum … It seems that I can download it directly."
Tony thought as he browsed through the post.
With this thought in mind, Tony logged into the information bar of the official website again. After some searching, he finally found the explored map shared by the World of Dawn.
His eyes lit up, and he hurriedly downloaded the map information and loaded it into the game.
After the map was loaded, Tony finally confirmed his location.
"About five hundred kilometers from Dawn Stronghold in a straight line? That's not a short distance … If I walk and stop, I'll probably walk for a month. Moreover, almost all the maps in the middle are black. It's definitely impossible to keep walking in a straight line. The real journey will only be further.
"Not only that, but I might also encounter terrifying monsters … According to the information, the beast tide in the Western Continent is quite serious …
"Perhaps I should take the initiative to contact the European Alliance. If necessary, I'll ask them to provide support …"
Tony thought.
He did not intend to contact the Mengmeng Committee directly.
It could not be helped. As an international player, he did not have a good impression of the Chinese players. This was because there were too many Chinese players, and they liked to group up too much. Often, if you provoked one, there would soon be a nest of them.
Not only that, but the overall strength of the Chinese players was also stronger. After the Dimensional War began, the international players had many conflicts with them, and they were always at a disadvantage.
It was also because of this that the international players, led by the European and American players, banded together to form a large guild called the European Alliance.
Thinking of this, Tony found Anne of France's game UID (Note: a numerical ID number assigned directly by the system when the user is registered), searched for new friends, and sent a friend request.
Of course, he did not forget to note his purpose in coming, which was to escort the magic gathering core.
However, it was a pity that the guild president of the European Alliance seemed to have turned off the friend request. After Tony clicked on the request, it showed that the request was not sent.
He frowned, somewhat depressed.
Celebrities were troublesome. It was normal for famous people in such a large-scale game to not be able to add friends.
With a sigh, Tony turned his gaze to the end of the post.
At the end of the post, there was a UID for the bounty contact, as well as a nickname, which was in Chinese.
Translated into English, the name probably meant "Cooing Bird."
After hesitating for a moment, Tony finally chose to send a friend request. The reason for the request was still to escort the magic gathering core.
This time, the friend request was quickly accepted.
With a soft sound from the system, a new friend profile lit up in the address book. At the same time, the beeping sound of a friend notification came, and a new message appeared in Tony's field of vision.
"Hello, I'm the vice president of the Mengmeng Committee, Cooing Bird."
