As soon as the deep voice was heard, a majestic silhouette pushed the door open and walked into the living room.
Lin Huang and Bloody could not help but lift their heads because the person was at least 3.5 meters tall. He was a giant.
Upon closer inspection, they noticed that he only looked 90% similar to a human, but there was something different. There were four tiny holes that were almost invisible on each side of his neck below his chin.
However, it was this detail that allowed Lin Huang and Bloody to confirm the person's identity.
The humanoid form, the gigantic body, and the breathing holes on his neck were clearly described in the monster guide.
There was no doubt that the person was a member of the Murlocs' Whaleman tribe.
"I'm the guardian of the Dust Shelter, Whaleman XIII. Welcome, distinguished guests!"
"I'm Grimace, and this is Bloody next to me," Lin Huang revealed the identity that he was currently disguising as. "The both of us passed by this place by accident. We found out that there's a Murlocs' senior guarding here, so we came to visit."
Although he was disguised as a Protoss, he was a True God after all, so it was not wrong for him to address him as a senior.
Whaleman XIII, on the other hand, was delighted to hear that. It was not that he had never met a Protoss before. They were all arrogant and haughty people. Even a junior who had not even reached virtual god-level would not be polite to a true god-level Whaleman. However, the two virtual god-level juniors before him were addressing him as a senior. Even the way they spoke was pleasant.
'It'd be great if all the Protoss juniors are so polite,' Whaleman XIII could not help but think to himself.
"Haha, this shelter of mine is remote. Apart from a few of my good friends and tribesmen, there are hardly any visitors, let alone Protoss like you. However, since you're here today, it's fate. Please wait for a moment. I'll get someone to arrange a banquet to welcome the both of you. "
Whaleman XIII was very hospitable to the both of them. His hospitality even made Lin Huang and Bloody suspect that he had ulterior motives.
Fortunately, nothing unpleasant happened.
The three of them chatted and drank tea. Not long after, a Murloc came to inform them that the banquet was ready. Lin Huang and his companion were dragged to the table by Whale13.
At the dining table, Whale13, who was slightly drunk, finally spoke frankly about the difference between Lin Huang and the other Protoss members. He also criticized his dissatisfaction with the other Protoss members.
Lin Huang and Bloody just found out why they were so passionate. They did not know whether to laugh or to cry.
After breakfast and confirming that Whale XIII had no ill intentions towards the two of them, Lin Huang unhurriedly requested for the star map and access to the database.
"I can give you the star map for free, but I can't give you full access to the database. Three-star shelters were under the supervision of the Celestials. Some information could only be seen by the guardians, and it could not be leaked to the public. Even if you are members of the Protoss, you are no exception, "Jing XIII said honestly.
"Give us the authorization that we can then." Lin Huang smiled and nodded.
"Forgive me for asking this. Although the Dust Shelter is located in a remote area, you should be able to find most of the information that a Shelter of grade-3 and above should have in the Protoss' database. What are you guys looking for in the database? "Jing XIII could not help but ask, unable to hold back the doubt in his heart.
In God's Territory, ever since the humans had helped to build a network and database, all kinds of data and information possessed by three-star and above shelters had been backed up in a form similar to cloud storage in the Protoss' Large Database. Members of the Protoss could access it at any time within the scope of their authority.
Lin Huang and Bloody knew that too.
Just when Lin Huang was thinking about how to answer Jing XIII's question, Bloody, who was sitting next to him, spoke.
"Here's the thing. I've loved reading stories since I was young. I'll collect some local stories whenever I go to a place. Including folklore and historical information, they're all within my reading range. Meanwhile, some of the folklore and historical information can't be found in the database. Therefore, no matter how big or small the Shelter is, I'll request to enter the database whenever I go to a Shelter. "
Clearly, Jing XIII did not doubt Bloody's explanation at all.
"I see. You're really knowledgeable, Ms. Bloody. I'm ashamed of myself. "
After the banquet, Jing XIII sent a copy of the star map to Lin Huang. He left after leading the duo to the database.
The Dust Shelter was a grade-3 Shelter after all. The database was much bigger than the grade-1 Shelter, and the information was much more complete.
While Bloody was reading the information, Lin Huang was reading the star map that Jing XIII had sent him.
A while later, Lin Huang, who was done reading the star map carefully, spoke to Bloody through voice transmission.
"This star map doesn't overlap with the star map in Qi Muxiong's memory. However, we can basically confirm where we're at now. "
"The star zone that we're at now is called the Dust Zone. It belongs to the Northern Desert Star Zone and is under the jurisdiction of the grade-5 Shelter, the Golden Sand Shelter. The Northern Desert Star Zone is rather secluded. It's almost at the northwestern border of the God Territory.
"Although the Golden Sand Shelter is considered one of the weaker grade-5 Shelters, they have over 20 grade-4 Shelters and over 120 grade-3 Shelters under them. Due to the secluded location, the guardians don't manage it well. Most of these Shelters aren't very safe. Moreover, there are many fugitives from other places.
"Also, there's almost no humans in the Northern Desert Star Zone. The God Territory isn't friendly to humans. The discrimination in the Northern Desert Star Zone is even worse. If I were to show up in person, I'm afraid the streets will be filled with people who want to kill me.
"However, the problem now is that each of my Disguise Cards is only valid for a day. This means that I'll have to use one Disguise Card every day if I want to stay in the grade-3 Shelter. The cards are my trump cards. It means that I'll have to use a trump card that can save my life even if I don't do anything every day. I can't go on like this. "
Although Lin Huang had the Disguise skill, he could not even fool a Virtual God with his imperial-level combat strength, let alone a true god-level powerhouse.
Bloody's Soul Clone came up with a solution after hearing what Lin Huang said.
"In reality, there are two solutions to this situation.
"The first one is to use a god rule relic with a disguise rule. You won't expose your identity and it saves you cards. If you're worried about one, you can buy two and wear them.
"The second one is that you can show up as my God's Servant. Then, you'll be able to walk around as a human without disguising yourself.
"Of the two methods, I recommend the first one. I think it's best that you don't expose your identity and appearance. This is a great world after all. There are many powerhouses here. It's better to be cautious before you have absolute power.
"However, the god rule relic can block true god-level detection at most. There's a high chance that you'll be exposed if you encounter heavenly god-level powerhouses or top True Gods. The guardians of grade-4 shelters are all top-notch high-rank True Gods, and the guardians of grade-4 and above shelters are all Heavenly Gods. If you choose the first option, you won't be able to enter grade-4 and above shelters. "
"However, the information we can obtain will be very limited if we don't enter the core zone of the God Territory. Therefore, I'm thinking that it's best that we go our separate ways for the upcoming journey. You're a human, so you'll be restricted everywhere you go in the God Territory. However, I'm different. Although I'm not a God's Blood, it's easy for me to join the Protoss as a quadruple mutated intelligent species with a complete human form. The Protoss now is different from before. It's no longer ruled by pure God's Blood. All monsters that are grade-4 and above and have a complete human form can join. "
"I'm worried about you entering the core zone of the God Territory alone." Lin Huang thought about it for a moment and shook his head. "Why don't we go with the first solution? I'll enter the core zone with you as the God's Servant."
"If you're the God's Servant, you'll have to be with me most of the time. Your movement will be greatly restricted, and it'll be difficult for you to elevate your combat strength according to the original plan. After all, we only have a year. Moreover, your combat strength will directly affect our combat strength. You'll have to race against time to elevate your combat strength.
"If you're really worried, you can summon Kelly to go with me. Kelly is a pure God's Blood. Not only is her combat strength powerful, but she also has her own army. In addition to that, she possesses space and speed divine abilities. I should be safe with her around. "
"This is the best solution that I can think of. Let's split up. Kelly and I will be responsible for gathering information in the core zone. You just have to elevate your combat strength as much as you can. "
Lin Huang fell into silence for a long time and eventually nodded because he knew that Bloody's solution was the best solution.
