Leaving the area where Marni and Angora made their way past the lively crowd of Players and the townsfolk who were offering them unlimited ale, they continued forward.
This time, they ran into the old clerk Vanke Noregi, who was rambling incessantly, and the absent-minded Princess Leah as well as her attendants.
"That is why Your Highness, even if we could return to the Lancaster Hideout now, it would be too difficult to reclaim the kingdom's lost lands with such a small territory as our center. That is why I suggest that we establish a foothold and gather our strength in secret, waiting for the right time."
Princess Leah nodded solemnly. "I understand. As long as I work hard to level up, when I'm strong enough, I would be able to blow up the heads of my enemies fair and square, right?"
"No, what I mean is that there is a limit to individual power. As the princess, you must hurry up and recruit talents for the revival of Tierra, building up the foundations of the kingdom …"
"I understand now, Mr. Vanke. You mean to find suitable teammates to hold off the minions while I, who have enough level, personally blow up the heads of the enemies, right?!" Leah looked as if she came to a sudden realization. "Actually, I feel that the activities before have wasted too much time leveling up. If that's the case, I'll go find some friends to clear the Valley of the Tragic Dead dungeon!"
After saying that, the young girl did not wait for the old man to stop her. She disappeared in front of the old man like a nimble rabbit.
The old man was so angry that his heart ached. He stood where he was and healed himself for a long time before regaining his composure. "Boris," he asked Princess Leah's attendant, "who taught Her Highness when I wasn't around?"
"It's Mr. Carlo," Boris replied respectfully to the venerable old man.
"Where's Carlo? Get him here!" The old man's hair and beard were all standing on end, his bony body seemingly bursting with terrifying energy due to his rage. "How dare you teach Her Highness to such an extent! You're the greatest sinner of Tierra!"
"Well, I don't think you'll see Carlo."
"What? Are you covering for him, kid? Get him out here! I'll blow his head off! "
"But," Boris whispered, "Karol's head has already been blown up by Her Royal Highness …"
The old clerk was speechless.
Still, Xi Wei wasn't interested in the feuds between the royal family, which was why he kept following Zonyan.
After making his way past several Players who were having a drinking contest and the unscrupulous merchants who were selling low-level equipment to the refugees, he ran into Ivan, who was discussing some weird topic with his subordinates. He was the former captain of Marni's merchant caravan, and a first-rate Player who often worked with Edward and the others.
"Speaking of which, Captain, don't you find it strange? That's why the defensive buff in the previous event was called 'The Avenger Gets Beaten by Thanos'. "Ivan's subordinate was a teenager wearing a small Iron Man armor.
"What are you trying to say?"
"Look, didn't the God of Games give us the title of 'Avengers' after the event?" Ivan pointed at his head. The title 'Avenger' was glowing above his name bar. "In other words, the 'Avenger' in the buff skill's name refers to us. Who is that 'Thanos' in there? Why did he hit us? "
"Hmm, could it be an enemy of the God of Games? No, if it's an enemy, then the name of the skill would be too ironic. Then other than enemies, the existence that could hit us … Could it be that this so-called Thanos is actually a nickname given by the God of Games? "Ivan tried his best to work his alcohol-filled brain to ponder this meaningless question.
"The God of Games would definitely not do something so obscure. I think it should be a nickname for the concept of 'power' itself. It's just like what we often say! "Ivan's Iron Man youth also guessed with a big tongue.
"I see. Then from now on, we can just say 'Thanos' when we talk about other people being awesome!"
"That's right, then how about 'twice as awesome' as' Thanos' for short?"
After that, the slightly drunk Ivan and the teenager happily toasted each other.
"The God of Games, Thanos!"
"The God of Games is such a Thanos!"
The corner of Xi Wei's mouth twitched as he listened, and he decided to nip that awkward adjective in the bud before it spread among the Players.
[Ding! Players' Ivan 'and' Gail 'are too aggressive with their words. Their accounts will be banned for 30 minutes.]
Ivan and the Iron Man teenager:???
☆
After walking for a while, Zonyan finally found Edward and the others in the crowd. After thanking Xi Wei, they continued towards the grill.
Eleena, the Saintess who was discussing something with Edward was the first to see Xi Wei. Her eyes lit up, and just as she was about to shout, Xi Wei made a 'shh' gesture at her, and she hurriedly covered her mouth.
However, her actions also caught the attention of Edward and the others. Following the girl's gaze, they also saw Xi Wei who was slowly walking towards them, and they all looked surprised and excited.
"Um …" Fortunately, Edward and the others were no longer kids. He forced himself to calm down, and with a respectful attitude, he asked, "How should we address you?"
"Just call me Mister Xi Wei like before."
"It's a little rude, but … Mister Xi Wei, could you really be that person?" At the end of his sentence, Edward pointed to the sky.
"How could that be? Just think of me as the archbishop of the Church of Games." Xi Wei replied with a fake smile that he had honed over and over again in his previous life.
Although it was different from what he had expected, Edward and the others were visibly relieved after hearing Xi Wei's answer.
After all, to them, interacting with their own god was a little too much pressure.
"How long do you plan to stay here this time?" Eleena looked at Xi Wei hopefully, and the girl said excitedly, "I have a lot of things to tell you, Mister Xi Wei!"
"I'm sorry, I'm just here to see how you guys are doing. I'll be leaving soon." Xi Wei shook his head.
Although it wasn't difficult for him to descend to the mortal realm, as a god, he still had to keep a certain distance from his believers. It was fine for him to occasionally descend to the mortal realm and experience the players' happiness.
"Is that so …" The silver-haired girl's mood immediately sank.
"As you can see, we're living a very happy and fulfilling life. It's all thanks to you, "Edward said sincerely.
Beside him, Joe, Jessica, and Gou Dan … Doug Ag also nodded in agreement.
Xi Wei smiled, and took out a pack of lollipops from his robes, tearing one open and stuffing it into the girl's mouth.
Eleena, who had been disappointed at first was startled, but she quickly immersed herself in the sweetness of the candy.
The pack of lollipops was naturally a divine creation, and since Xi Wei had a lot of divine energy in his hands, it was fine to waste some.
Seeing that the girl's spirit had recovered a little, Xi Wei gave the pack of candy to her, and smiled at Edward and the others. "Don't worry about me, I'll come visit you guys again when I have time."
Edward and the others looked at each other, knowing that Xi Wei was implying that they were going to disappear abruptly like the last time.
"Could you please wait for a moment? Just a little, "Edward begged him.
"What is it, boy?" Xi Wei sat up straight, thinking that Edward had something to ask of him.
But what he didn't expect was that Edward turned his body slightly to the side, giving Xi Wei a spot where he could see the sky above the square.
In the next moment, several Fireballs and Frost Bombs were launched into the sky by the Mage players. They exploded in the sky and turned into dazzling fireworks.
The shapes and colors of the fireworks varied according to the players' understanding of magic. One after another, the gloomy sky became the best canvas, displaying the charm of the colorful fireworks to its fullest.
Beneath the fireworks, the players and the townsfolk were immeasurably bright.
"The hope of the future, the meaning of life, and the beauty of the present — all of this is given to us by the God of Games!"
Unbeknownst to them, Angora had climbed up to the roof of the temporary mayor's residence. Under Vela's protection, he raised his glass high and shouted at the townsfolk, "This moment, this glass of wine, is for our beloved God of Games! O Game, grant us new life! "
"O Game, grant us new life!"
The players all raised their glasses or skewers, excitedly echoing Angora's slogan.
Xi Wei couldn't help muttering to himself in a voice no one else could hear as he watched everything unfold before him.
