Seeing the new message in his field of vision, Tony perked up and quickly replied,
"Hello, my name is Tony Wilson. I'm an American and I'm a new player in this update. I've received news about the Mana Gathering Core, and I'd like to accept your guild's offer on the official forum. "
"Hmm? Are you a new player? How do you know about the Mana Gathering Core? "
In the chat box, Gu Gu Bird sent a surprised message.
Tony was about to reply when he suddenly became vigilant.
He was a little hesitant, not knowing if he should tell the other party everything. After all … he was just a newbie and not a Chinese player.
Under such circumstances, was the other party trustworthy?
However, after much consideration, he decided to trust the other party.
At the end of the day, he was still a high-level player of a well-known guild. Although one million Contribution Points was a huge sum to him, according to Tony's knowledge, it was nothing to the truly expert players.
One of their weapons could be worth tens of millions or even tens of millions of contribution points.
When he thought up to here, he didn't hesitate any longer and revealed everything he knew.
"What? He had already found the Mana Gathering Core? Can you send me a video? "
After receiving Tony's reply, the other party instantly became excited and hurriedly asked.
Tony sent an "OK" emoji, then decisively recorded a video and sent it over.
There was a long silence.
Just as Tony was getting impatient, he suddenly received a new system message.
[Ding!]
[You have a new letter. The sender is "Gugu Bird." Please check it at the statue of the goddess.]
A new letter?
Tony was slightly taken aback.
He looked around and soon found the package where Ados had placed the statue of the goddess.
After hesitating for a moment, he carefully opened the door a little and closed his eyes to pray according to the instructions given by the system.
A faint halo bloomed on the statue, and a new system notification appeared in Tony's vision.
[Discovered an unread letter. Open it?]
Activate!
Tony decisively chose yes.
The next moment, accompanied by the jingling of coins, a caption appeared before his eyes:
[You have received contribution points x 500000]
“WTF？！”
Tony's eyes instantly widened, and he couldn't help but curse again. He almost jumped up from the spot.
He hurriedly looked at his personal status bar and found that there was a string of zeros in his contribution bar …
"Hiss …"
Tony sucked in a breath of cold air, and even his breathing unconsciously became heavy.
"Good heavens! Am I seeing things? He sent over 500,000 contribution points just like that?! "
He muttered in disbelief.
The next moment, along with the beeping sound, Coot Bird's message appeared in the dialog box again.
"Hello, Mr. Tony. Have you received the 500,000 contribution points? This is the bonus in advance. When you deliver the Magic Gathering Core to our people, we will send you the rest of the bonus. "
Tony was stunned for a moment before he quickly replied,
"Got it! I got it! "
Good God!
As expected of one of the top guilds in the Celestial Empire. They did not even blink when they spent 500,000 Contribution Points!
Tony sighed in his heart.
"Very good, Mr. Tony. I will now pull you into one of our teams. The members of the team will go and meet you."
Gu Gu Bird replied.
Then, Tony received an invitation to join the team.
He agreed without hesitation, and a teammate column appeared in the upper left corner of his vision.
This was a team of only four people.
Other than him and Coot Bird, there were only two new IDs that he did not recognize.
One was "Yeye", and the other was "Nainai".
"Only two people?"
Tony was stunned.
However, when he noticed the levels of the two people, he immediately swallowed his doubts.
He saw that at the lower right corner of the two people's golden avatar frames, there were flashing numbers "92" and "91" respectively.
Level 92? Level 91?
Tony took a light breath and was instantly in awe.
He had crammed the levels of "Elven Nation" and knew that levels 71 to 100 were advanced professions, which was the Gold Rank.
And levels 92 and 91 were the upper Gold Rank!
This … this was a real powerhouse!
Tony instantly understood why there were only two people who were there to help.
He had a certain understanding of "Elven Nation". Like most games, "Elven Nation" was harder to level up as the game progressed, especially after the Gold Rank.
One must know that the Gold Rank had been released for a long time.
But so far, among the nearly seven million players in the entire "Elven Nation", there were less than ten thousand people who had reached the Gold Rank.
Not to mention that the two people were upper Gold Rank.
However, when he looked at Coot Bird's level, his eyes widened even more.
Coot Bird's avatar frame was also golden, but there were red gems inlaid in the four corners, and the number at the lower right corner was "100".
"Level 100? A max level player? "
Tony exclaimed in a low voice.
But soon, he felt that it was only natural.
As the vice president of a top guild, it was not particularly surprising that he was at the max level.
But Tony suddenly felt that the number "15" at the bottom of his avatar, which he was originally proud of, was suddenly not so good.
"Sister Coot, is this the friend who found the magic gathering core?"
Just as Tony clicked on the more detailed personal information of his teammate, looking at the dazzling equipment of the other party, and exclaiming in amazement, someone spoke in the team channel.
It was Yeye.
"Yes, he is the person you and Nainai are meeting up with."
Coot Bird replied.
Then, Tony received another message from the other party.
"Mr. Tony, these are the high-level members of our guild, Yeye and Nainai. The two of them will be in charge of meeting you at Dawn Fortress."
“Hello！ I'm Yeye. "
“Hello！ I'm Nainai! "
At the same time, the two Chinese players who had just joined the team channel greeted each other.
"Hello …"
Tony replied in Mandarin, which he was not very familiar with.
After replying, he suddenly remembered that "Elven Nation" had its own translation function. There was no point in deliberately replying in the other party's language.
"Mr. Tony, we are too far away. I can't see your exact location from here. Please share your coordinates. This way, we can also receive your location information."
Nainai typed.
"How do I share?"
Tony asked.
"Like this … like this …"
Yeye took a few screenshots and sent them over.
Tony understood and hurriedly shared his coordinates according to the other party's instructions.
"F * ck?! So far? "
Yeye and Nainai lampooned at the same time.
"Wait … Mr. Tony, is the magic gathering core with you?"
As if thinking of something, Yeye suddenly asked.
"Yes, Mr. Yeye, the magic gathering core is with me."
Tony replied.
"Then … maybe we can do this! Since you've been promoted to Black Iron, that means you also have a statue, right? If that's the case, you can bind yourself to the core, then kill yourself and return to the city! "
"In this case, we can go to the East Mainland's Shanti to pick you up! There's already a well-established route between Dawn Fortress and Shanti, it'll be safer. "
Yeye typed.
That works?
Tony was stunned.
But soon, he was a little hesitant.
He didn't care about dying and losing a level.
Since the Mengmeng Committee had so decisively given him five hundred thousand contribution points, they should also give him a corresponding compensation.
What Tony cared about was the others.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Mirelle and the others who were already sound asleep, as well as Ados who was keeping watch outside the house.
His expression was a little conflicted.
If he did this, it would be equivalent to leaving these people behind.
Although they were only NPCs, since he had promised to travel with them, Tony felt that he should not break his promise.
Not to mention, it was also difficult for Tony to treat these vivid characters as just NPCs …
Thinking of this, Tony sighed and typed a reply, preparing to decline.
However, at this moment, the coo-coo bird was the first to reject this plan.
"No, this plan won't work."
"Why?"
Yeye asked.
"Because the magic gathering core is different from other items. This is a special item that can absorb energy. It can't be marked by players, so naturally, it can't be bound."
The coo-coo bird explained.
"So … we can only go deep into the continent to provide support?"
Nainai asked.
"That's right."
The coo-coo bird gave an affirmative answer.
"Okay …"
Yeye sent a sighing emoticon.
The coo-coo bird reminded him.
"Hurry up and set off. After a while, the great beast tide may erupt. We must get the magic gathering core before then. By the way, ride your mounts, but don't fly too low. It's easy to be discovered by the high-level fallen beasts on the ground. If you encounter a Legend, you'll be finished. "
"Understood!"
Yeye and Nainai answered at the same time.
Looking at their conversation, Tony felt that he couldn't get a word in edgewise.
He only felt that these Chinese players gave off a professional vibe, which inexplicably made him feel at ease.
The coo-coo bird gave a lot of instructions and then left the team.
Only Yeye, Nainai, and Tony were left in the team.
"Mr. Tony, we'll set off now. You must stay alive and wait for us to arrive!"
Nainai said.
"If you die, you must mark the location of the magic gathering core before you die! In this way, we can find it too! "
Yeye added.
Tony was speechless.
He twitched the corner of his mouth and typed.
"Don't worry, Mr. Yeye, Ms. Nainai, I'll try my best to survive."
"Okay, then … I hope we'll meet soon! Keep in touch! "
"Okay, keep in touch."
Having reached a consensus with his two Chinese teammates, Tony heaved a sigh of relief.
He looked out of the window. The sky was getting darker, and the whole world seemed to have fallen into darkness.
The wind whistled, and the dilapidated hut creaked.
The bonfire flickered, and the crackling of thunder cast flickering shadows on the walls.
Warriors Bolles and Ramis' snores rose and fell one after another, suppressing the whistling of the wind. They seemed to be sleeping rather soundly.
Looking at their sleeping postures, Tony shook his head.
"Forget it … I'll tell them the good news about contacting Dawn Fortress tomorrow."
He exhaled lightly, wrapped himself in the blanket that Aldos gave him tightly, and fell into a deep sleep …
…
"What? Mr. Tony, you mean to say that you've contacted Dawn Fortress?! "
The next day, when everyone woke up from their sleep, they immediately heard an explosive piece of news from Tony.
Looking at the dumbfounded expressions on their faces, Tony smiled and said, "How did you do it?" and "Are you kidding me?"
"That's right. As the Goddess' chosen ones, we have the ability to contact each other remotely. Last night, I've already contacted the chosen ones of Dawn Fortress. They'll send two gold-upper-level powerhouses to receive us."
"Gold-upper-level!"
Hearing Tony's words, the few of them widened their eyes in excitement and awe.
"That's great! In that case, we'll definitely be able to send the magic gathering core to the destination! "
Millael said happily.
"Not only that … To be on the safe side, I think we can even find a safe place to hide. I can tell our location to the chosen ones who will come to support us. We just have to wait for them to find us!"
Tony said again.
This was an idea that he had thought of in his sleeping bag after the conversation with the Chinese players ended yesterday. It was also the safest method that he thought of.
If they continued, the group was likely to encounter danger. It was very likely that someone would be sacrificed in the following journey, and even the entire team was in danger of being wiped out.
However, if he were to hide, he would be able to minimize these risks.
However, after hearing Tony's words, Aldos and the other three did not show any happy expressions. They looked at each other with calm expressions. Furthermore, Warrior Bolles shook his head gently and sighed.
Tony's smile gradually froze on his face.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with my suggestion? "
He asked.
"Sigh …"
Ados heaved a long sigh and laughed bitterly.
"Lord Tony, if we were escorting something else, your suggestion would be excellent."
"But … what we're escorting is the magic gathering core …"
"The magic gathering core can absorb energy, and it can also affect the concentration and activity of magic in an area. It's easy to attract magical beasts, especially the fallen creatures after the Great Cataclysm."
"If we hide in one place for a long time, the magic gathering core's influence on the area's magic will become stronger and stronger. In the end, we're likely to attract a terrifying number of fallen magical beasts …"
"So, once this journey starts, there's no stopping it."
Hearing Aldos' words, Tony was slightly startled.
He looked at the others, who also smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
"So that's how it is …"
Tony sighed, somewhat disappointed.
Ados continued, "That's right.
"Lord Tony, I heard that the elven chosen ones have the ability to come back from the dead. For a great being like you, you're not afraid of death."
"I know that you're worried about our safety."
"But I also want to say that ever since we left the gathering point and embarked on the journey with the magic gathering core, we've already disregarded life and death."
"If we can successfully escort the magic gathering core to Dawn Fort, even if we all die, we won't have any regrets."
At this point, Aldos' expression turned solemn.
He looked at the dusky sky and said in a deep voice,
"We once lived in an era of light. We know how warm the sun is. We know how beautiful the blue sky is. We know how magnificent the sunrise in the morning is …"
"We don't want our descendants to only hear about these beautiful sceneries from legends."
"The arrival of the Great Cataclysm had already made us lose all hope for the future. It was the appearance of the Goddess that let us see the light of hope …"
"The Goddess is benevolent and great. We want to follow in her footsteps and rush out of the darkness. We want this light of hope to completely break through the darkness!"
