When Tony woke up again, he found that he was no longer in the ice tower.
What entered his eyes was an elegantly decorated ceiling. The gorgeous chandelier flickered with dense light, looking magnificent.
This was a bedroom of about twenty square meters. The walls were made of stone, like a medieval castle, but it was much more gorgeous and bright than the dark castles in stories.
Tony lay on a large, soft bed, his eyes a little dazed.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. He hurriedly looked at his profile picture, only to find that the large number under his profile picture was still 41.
That was the first level of the Lower Silver rank.
Tony was slightly stunned. He clearly remembered that he had used Blood Rage and would definitely die.
He did not have enough resurrection tokens. Logically speaking, he should have lost a level after waking up.
However, his current level was still Silver. Even his profile picture frame was silver, which symbolized Silver.
That means … I'm not dead?
Tony was astonished.
At this moment, the bedroom door was gently pushed open, and a male elf in silver armor walked in.
He saw Tony sitting up on the bed and was slightly stunned. Then, he revealed a bright smile and greeted him.
"Oh! You're awake? How did you sleep? "
"You are …"
Tony asked doubtfully.
"Tsk, you've been my teammate for so many days, but you didn't look at my appearance?"
The male elf raised his eyebrows.
Then, he smiled and extended his hand.
"Mr Tony, hello, I'm Yeye."
"Yeye …"
Tony was stunned, then his eyes lit up.
At this moment, a loud dragon's roar came from outside the window. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the window, only to see a huge black shadow flash past in the hazy night sky, revealing the twinkling galaxy under the boundless night sky.
Under the river of stars, the brightly lit city continued to extend into the distance. Looking down from above, the entire world seemed to become somewhat small.
At this moment, Tony realized that he was probably at a very high altitude.
"This is …"
He looked out of the window, his gaze lost.
"This is the eastern part of the continent, and also your destination."
Yeye said.
With that said, he smiled again and extended his hand to Tony.
"Friend, welcome to … Dawn Stronghold."
…
The resplendent starry sky flickered in the sky, a scene that Tony had never seen before.
Only in areas where the pollution had been purified could this magnificent galaxy be seen.
On the observation deck of Dawn Fort, Tony, who had put on his clothes again, looked at the beautiful starry sky while listening to Yeye's narration. He finally understood what had happened after he fell unconscious.
"Heh, Mr. Tony, I didn't expect you to be so talented in battle. You actually managed to kill a veteran Ghoul Succubus with just Blood Rage and Storm Slash after leveling up!"
"It's a good thing that we arrived in time. Otherwise … the side effects of Blood Rage would have kicked in and you would have dropped a level."
"Class Change slots are all one-time use. I reckon that you don't have enough resurrection coins. If you really drop in level, then you'll have to start from scratch."
"However, thanks to you guys, the energy-gathering core has already been sent to the altar. We can start to reactivate the teleportation portal early tomorrow morning!"
"By the way, in order to thank you for your help, our guild leader, Big Meow, has said that he'll give you an additional 300,000 Contribution Points!"
The Celestial player, Yeye, patted Tony's shoulder enthusiastically.
However, standing on the observation deck of Dawn Fort, Tony did not look that excited.
Following Tony's gaze, Yeye's gaze landed on the night view of the city in the distance.
He smiled and said proudly, "It's a magnificent sight.
How is it? Isn't it magnificent? "
"The City of Dawn was built by the Adorable Committee. Although it was built much later than Saltem and is not large in scale, it's definitely one of the largest cities in the World of Dawn."
"Mr. Tony, how is it? Are you interested in joining our guild? Our guild leader admires you for completing the mission perfectly and is willing to invite you to join as a core member. "
"Heh heh, although our guild is the Celestial Guild, we have quite a number of international players."
Hearing Yeye's words, Tony forced a smile.
He sighed and said, "Perfect.
"Perfect? No … I said that I would bring my friends, but in the end … I was the only one. How is that perfect? "
"Friends?"
Yeye was stunned.
Then, as if he had thought of something, his expression became strange.
"Are you talking about the NPC believers who came with you? No, they're here too … "
"Not … not dead?"
Tony was stunned.
"Yes, but they almost died. Fortunately, we arrived in time. Heh … the healing theurgy of the Goddess isn't just for show."
"However, their faith hasn't reached the point where they can activate the mission system, and they haven't officially registered with the church. Therefore, after coming to the City of Dawn, they can't enter yet. They have to … "
"Hey! Where are you going?! "
Yeye couldn't help but yell when he saw Tony's eyes light up all of a sudden before he turned around and ran out of the fortress.
… …
Not dead!
Everyone was not dead?!
Tony cheered in his heart as he ran.
After so many days of being together, it was difficult for him to treat them as NPCs who had completed the mission.
The gentle and wise Ados, the simple and honest Boris, the carefree Ramis, and the kind and attentive Miriel …
In Tony's heart, they had already become his friends!
He did not care about rewards. He could slowly improve his power. But these NPC friends were different. If they were sacrificed, they would really be sacrificed …
Tony ran out of the Dawn Fort with an excited expression. The players who passed by looked at him curiously and suspiciously.
But he did not care.
He ran to the streets and looked at the bustling night market. He looked at the people coming and going …
At this moment, Tony gradually calmed down.
Wait …
He did not seem to have the time to ask Yeye where his companions had gone.
Looking at the bustling and blurry streets, Tony stopped.
Then, a familiar voice came from behind him.
"Respected Lord Chosen One, what are you looking for?"
Hearing the old and gentle voice, Tony trembled slightly.
He slowly turned around and saw the old mage Ados with a hunched back. He wore his old mage hat crookedly and held a staff in his hand. He was smoking a long pipe while looking at him with a smile.
The two of them looked at each other. After a while, they laughed at the same time.
…
In the bustling tavern, the bards played and the drinkers tasted wine intertwined. As a tavern in the main city built by players, it was always lively twenty-four hours a day.
In front of the window of the tavern, Tony and Ados sat facing each other at a wooden table. Beside them were the recovered Boris, Ramis, and Miriel.
"So … you thought we were all killed in the end? No, no, no … we haven't even opened a small tavern. How could we leave so easily? "
Boris laughed heartily.
Ramis, on the other hand, took a big gulp of ale with an intoxicated expression.
"Awesome!"
"So … Mr. Tony, as I said, everyone is alive and well."
On the other side, Yeye drank a mouthful of elven flower tea and said with a smile.
"Our Mengmeng Committee will not always be late when we take action."
Beside him, an elven girl was recommending delicious mousse cake to the uneasy wizard Miriel.
That was another Chinese player, Nainai.
Looking at the few of them in high spirits, Tony's smile was much brighter.
However, when he saw Ados drinking while smiling, there was a hint of sadness in the depths of his eyes, and his smile gradually faded.
"Ados … You …"
"I'm fine. I just thought of Adrian …"
Ados shook his head slightly.
As he spoke, he sighed slightly.
"Mr. Tony, do you know? At the end of the battle at the ice tower, I thought the monster would devour me, but it let me go in the end. "
As he spoke, his gaze was complicated.
"It's Adrian …"
"I know. His memories are affecting the monster. The monster devoured him, and he became a part of the monster …"
"I'm not a qualified father. Until the end, I was protected by my own son, but I couldn't do anything for him …"
At this point, Ados' expression became more and more sad.
Tony was at a loss for words. He did not know how to comfort him.
Looking at his uneasy expression, the old wizard smiled again and finished his ale in one gulp.
"Don't worry. I've already gotten over it. I'm just a little sad."
"The dead are gone, and we have to move on. I don't think Mr. Adrian would want to see his father depressed."
"Mr. Tony, I still have to thank you. You gave him relief …"
"No, Ados. I'm sorry … I couldn't save your son."
Tony said gloomily.
Ados laughed out loud.
"Haha, no, Mr. Tony. You did the right thing. From the moment he was devoured by the monster, he was no longer him."
"You gave him relief, and you also helped him take revenge …"
"Let's drink! Today, to celebrate the completion of the mission, we must drink to our hearts' content! "
As he spoke, he raised his cup again.
Looking at his relieved expression, Tony also picked up his ale.
He took a sip. It was clear, but there was a hint of sweetness.
At the same time, there was a spicy aftertaste.
The group drank one cup after another.
Until everyone was a little drunk.
Yeye, who was burping, looked at the time. He swept his gaze across the seats and suddenly laughed.
"Everyone, as a first-time guest in the City of Dawn, do you want to see the most beautiful scenery here?"
"The most beautiful scenery?"
Everyone was stunned.
"Follow me …"
Yeye stood up and walked out of the pub.
Everyone looked at each other drunkenly, then got up and followed him out.
