Looking at Saruman's thirsty expression, Sheyan couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he could give him the Golden Fruits, then there should be a follow-up mission, and the rewards for the follow-up mission should be pretty good. Sheyan even noticed that Saruman only issued the Golden Fruit mission after he got Elrond's Illusion Bone Crystal. If he wanted to trigger the Illusion Bone Crystal, he might have to use the Golden Fruits! What kind of causal relationship was this?
But for Sheyan, the reward of Treebeard's mission was not important. The most important thing was the four Golden Fruits absorbed by the 'Stairway of the Sun' and the evolution of the 'Poison Monarch: Beast of Corrosion' ability. Obviously, this was at least an S-rank ability.
Saruman himself was still in the category of a mage, so the reward he gave would never be greater than an S-rank ability. Therefore, no matter how Sheyan calculated, it was impossible for him to get a better reward than the evolution of the 'Pestilence Monarch'. Besides, Saruman was a very unreliable person. It was not like he wouldn't burn the bridge after crossing it.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Sheyan still felt that his choice was the best. He knew that he had lost most of his value to Saruman, so as soon as he left the Tower of Orthanc, he immediately met up with Melody and the others and left Isengard through the teleportation formation.
Without a doubt, Sheyan's decision was a wise one. When the uruk-hai Lurtz received Saruman's instructions, he wanted to 'beat them up'. However, Sheyan and the rest had already left via the transportation portal.
The uruk-hai Lurtz was so angry his gums were about to bleed. Under Saruman's protection and magic concealment, he could freely move about in Isengard. But if he chased after the teleportation formation, then his identity would definitely be exposed. That would be like an anti-Japanese protester wearing a kimono, guaranteed to be beaten up beyond recognition. After all, the uruk-hai's reputation had never been good. Therefore, he could only roar a few times to vent his anger.
Of course, Lurtz did not know that Reef and Franklin had only symbolically teleported back to Isengard. The two of them would be going out together to complete their next mission.
Sheyan, on the other hand, was teleported to the picturesque and gentle Shire. The melodious music and lovely buildings left a deep impression on him. The magic item shop in Shire also had real goods and Melody's company.
Of course, these were only secondary reasons why Sheyan came to Shire. There was only one main reason! There was a problem with the 'Stairway of the Sun' in Sheyan's body.
After the 'Stairway of the Sun' instinctively absorbed enough energy from the Golden Fruit, the 'Stairway of the Sun' naturally evolved. As a result of the evolution, the 'Stairway of the Sun' began to evolve from a strange half-plant, half-animal creature to an extreme. It could transform into both plant and animal forms, which greatly increased Sheyan's strength.
However, there were always two sides to everything in this world. Sheyan had reaped great benefits from the 'Stairway of the Sun', but at the same time, he had to bear the consequences. He could feel that his body was gradually showing signs of collapse.
The fundamental reason for this was very complicated, but in fact, it was very simple. The soul of the 'Stairway of the Sun' had already dissipated. It was like an existence in a vegetative state. Right now, it was playing the role of an organ in Sheyan's body. But now that the organ had received enough nutrients, it could only grow by instinct. Without the adjustment of a soul, Sheyan would not be able to bear it.
Therefore, the only one who could help Sheyan was the Twilight Elf, Melody. Fortunately, Melody was also very willing to help Sheyan. When the two of them stayed in the Shire, Melody used various precious magic materials and many divine spells to slowly recuperate Sheyan's body.
She even tried to slowly implant a cultivated soul embryo into the 'Stairway of the Sun'. This soul embryo originated from the soul fragment of a female Elven mage who died in battle. She was also a fanatic of Sin'dorei and was willing to sacrifice everything for Melody and Sin'dorei, so that this strange creature could regain its dominating power.
When the deadline came, the situation in Sheyan's body finally stabilized. He could freely switch between the two powerful abilities of 'Pestilence Monarch' and 'Poison Monarch'. Of course, this switch also came with a price. It cost him 30% of his current HP.
Secondly, all the sub-abilities of 'Pestilence Monarch' were increased by lvl 1.
More importantly, because the soul embryo in the 'Stairway of the Sun' had begun to germinate, Sheyan's' Pestilence Monarch 'had unlocked a slot for free. In other words, he did not need to spend any utility points, achievement points or potential points. As long as he passed the test of the' Pestilence Monarch ', he could obtain the third type of' Pestilence Monarch ', and it would be a lvl 2 bonus.
According to Melody, after the soul embryo germinated, it required a large amount of soul energy. Therefore, if Sheyan could continue to plunder the souls of powerful beings, he had to be careful. As the soul embryo grew, more slots would be unlocked, and Sheyan would be able to reap greater benefits.
Following the arrival of the 20 day countdown, Sheyan finally reluctantly accepted a 'Shattered Ent's Heart' from Melody. Reef and Franklin had already completed this mission long ago, and there was still a series of follow-up missions. However, Sheyan was busy with dual cultivation with Melody, and naturally didn't have the time to do it. He could only sigh and give up on it.
After receiving the 'Broken Ent's Heart', Sheyan confirmed the submission of the mission item and received a notification:
[You have completed the hidden main mission: Isengard's Hidden Danger]
[Difficulty: Unable to assess]
[Completion Time Limit: 20 days]
"Mission summary: Since you have chosen the hidden faction Saruman's side, you should serve this faction."
[Mission Objective: You have obtained the 'Broken Ent's Heart'.
[You have received 10,000 utility points and 1 achievement point as a reward]
In fact, Sheyan was well aware that if he wanted to obtain the perfect reward for this hidden main mission, then without a doubt, he would have to gather the three key mission items – the black-dorsal fin of the water monster, the golden tooth of the Landers and the broken heart of the Ents. Only then could he submit the mission.
But there were many times when there was a huge gap between knowing something and actually doing it! Sheyan had the will but not the strength. His body was about to collapse, how could he leave?
However, the strict Realm did not care about this. It gave him a very severe punishment for his slacking behavior. A mere 10,000 utility points and 1 achievement point reward was the best proof.
What happened next was also within Sheyan's expectations. The Realm was very dissatisfied with his performance, so he was ordered to leave immediately. He was not allowed to dawdle here anymore and had to return to the Nightmare Realm within an hour.
As for Reef and Franklin, under the reminder of Sheyan, who was "recuperating", they completed the mission perfectly. They were now in the final stage of the mission and expected to stay in this world for another two or three days. With the help of Melody and Ferrell, it shouldn't be a problem to complete the mission. The rewards they would receive in the end would definitely be generous.
After kissing the tear-stained face of Melody, Sheyan finally chose to return. A clear light gate appeared behind him. Under normal circumstances, a person would step through the light gate, but this time, it was the other way around. Sheyan was swallowed by the light gate that looked like the mouth of a giant beast.
*****
After that, Sheyan floated alone in space, followed by a replay of familiar scenes. Sheyan had done several major things in this world, such as the change of ownership of Rivendell, the death of Elrond, the capture of the Balrog, the invasion of the Ocean-freak of Moria, Treebeard's slumber, and even Saruman's obtaining of the Elven Bone Crystal. All these things had brought great changes to the storyline.
Of course, these things were not driven by Sheyan alone. If it were not for the Stockholm Party's plan to injure Elrond, and if it were not for them gathering the nine Ringwraiths, Sheyan would not have been able to do all these things alone. He just took advantage of the situation and did not expect it to be so big. For example, Melody being able to control the Ring of Air, Vilya, was really a coincidence.
