[Quest Search Complete]
[Quest 1: Help Celia repair the Grand Magic Array between Grand Forests and Sky City]
[Quest 2: Have a direct conversation with at least two apostles]
[Note: There is a certain chance of triggering a Unique Quest]
…
Tang Hao was slightly stunned. This time, there were more things in the invitation quest than before. The quest process was doubled, and the quest to repair the Grand Magic Array was within his expectations. As for the second quest … Was this an indirect recognition of Celia's identity as an apostle?
In the game, although Celia didn't go on adventures with the players, as long as the players encountered something they didn't know during their adventures, they could go to Celia and find the answer. No matter if it was human, elven, celestial, or demon world, there was almost nothing Celia didn't know.
There were also other signs that pointed to Celia being the thirteenth apostle — the person who knew everything!
And now, the quests issued in the chat room were still related to apostles.
After the chat room became official, the relationship between the group member recruitment quest and the group member invitation quest was very clear.
For example, Miyamori Akui was an animator. She had been interested in animations since she was a student, and she made an anime called "The Seven Blessings Gods" with a few friends. Therefore, Megumi Kato and Yukina's quest was animation, which was closely related to Miyamori Akui's profession and interests.
Another example was Kuriyama Miki. She was originally an assassin hired by the Namase family to kill the other party of the same realm, which was Akito Kamihara. But in the process of interacting with him, she gradually fell in love with the target of her assassination, Akito Kamihara. In the end, she sacrificed her life to save Akito Kamihara. Therefore, the mission that Night Battle God and Hikikazu Ichihara invited her happened to be her strongest desire.
There was also Omar, the true hero, the symbol of peace. The mission given to Yinshi Sakata by the chatroom was also a heroic undertaking. Although it also added a monetary value as the standard to complete the mission, with Yinshi Sakata's personality, even if there were no benefits, he would still take the initiative to do it at the critical moment.
These three examples clearly showed that the quests issued by the chat room were closely related to the identity and wishes of the invited members.
Now it was Celia's turn. If the first mission was her will, then the second mission was obviously her identity.
However, to have a direct conversation with two Apostles, Celia most likely wasn't one of them. In that case, the fastest Apostle he could come into contact with … One was Rotters, and the second was most likely Derigi.
When he thought of this, Tang Hao immediately felt a headache. Of these two apostles, one knew mind control, while the other was a source of infection, each more dangerous than the other. Directly conversing with them was no different from throwing away one's life.
No matter how pitiful their plight was, the danger they posed to humans was real.
"What happened to you guys?" Celia suddenly realized that the three of them were stunned. She thought that they had also been attacked by the dark energy. She couldn't help but ask nervously.
"Nothing." Asuna smiled and shook her head. Then, she looked at Tang Hao.
Of course, Tang Hao hadn't fully recovered yet, but that didn't stop him from speaking. He immediately put on a righteous expression. "Actually, I'm thinking about the big magic array. Since this matter concerns the safety of the entire Arad Continent, we can't just sit back and do nothing. Maybe we're not strong enough, but if you need us, we're willing to help you repair the big magic array."
Ah, he's starting to trick them.
Kirito and Asuna instinctively thought of the first time they met Tang Hao. It was really unbearable to recall the past.
Celia didn't think too much about it. She happily said, "Leader, you're too modest. Since you were able to defeat Savuta, you must be experienced adventurers. I'm honored to have your help, but I'm not confident …"
"About the big magic array, I've only read about it in an ancient book. My memory is a bit fuzzy."
"Where's the ancient book?" Asuna asked.
"I can't find it anymore."
"Then, how much do you know?"
Celia thought for a moment. "I still remember some knowledge about repairing the big magic array, but I'm not sure if it's accurate …"
"I think that's enough." Tang Hao interrupted. "Since Savuta kidnapped you and asked you to repair the big magic array, it means that you have the ability to do so. No matter what, we should give it a try first."
In Tang Hao's opinion, Celia's memory and power as an elf should be in the process of awakening. Maybe when she saw the big magic array, her memory in this aspect would be restored. Of course, if it really didn't work, they could always return. It wouldn't be too troublesome.
"Okay, then let's go. Please."
Celia thought for a moment and quickly agreed to Tang Hao's suggestion.
Grand Forest was located in a remote area. Currently, except for the few of them, no one else knew about the big magic array. If they asked for help from the Duchy, it might take ten days to half a month. During this time, if the big magic array was damaged even more severely, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Then, the four of them advanced into the depths of Gracca.
However, Tang Hao was still a little hesitant about whether he should resolve the matter today.
It wasn't a matter of whether he wanted to or not, but his body was in a bad state. If a battle broke out, he could only be a bystander. If he remembered correctly, there was still a Fire Lady in the depths of Gracca, Inferno Vinoshu. If they accidentally got into a fight with her, it would be difficult for them to deal with her with their current combat power.
But the dark energy had already spread here, and the big magic array was in serious trouble. Every second that passed, the difficulty of Celia's repair would increase. They couldn't afford to waste any more time.
"Fine …"
In the end, Tang Hao decided to advance as fast as he could. If he really got into a fight with the Fire Lady, he could use the rune card to deal with her.
He didn't lack any trump cards.
…
They weren't sure of the exact time, but it was around five in the afternoon. The group arrived at the latter half of Gracca. It was a forest that was burning with flames. The scorching flames roasted the ground, making one feel as hot as a dog. Most importantly, the path forward was completely sealed off by the flames.
"Who is it? Trespassing into my forest! "
Just as Tang Hao was about to use the rune card to force his way through the flames, a fiery red figure quickly floated over.
It was a black-haired woman with a sexy figure. Her entire body was burning with flames, making her look extremely flamboyant.
Kirito and Asuna's pupils shrank, and they immediately became alert. Along the way, the two had heard about Inferno Vinoshu from Tang Hao. Now it seemed that this female Magician was even more difficult to deal with than Sauta.
Celia was the first to step forward. She looked at the Fire Lady floating in the air. "You must be Vinoshu? I've heard about you from Sauta. I know that you sealed off the forest to prevent people from getting close to the big magic array. I'm going to repair the big magic array now. Can you remove the flames? Also, if the flames continue to spread, it might cause a terrible fire. "
"Ha!" Binoche grinned, a crazed expression on her face as she said, "This is a magical flame that I created, so there won't be anything that you're worried about. As for repairing the large magic array, you should go home and take a bath. This isn't something that you can interfere with."
"But …"
"No buts. I need to use these flames to prevent the things inside from escaping. This is my last warning to you. If you still want to go in, then I will turn into ashes and die here!"
While speaking, Vinoshu raised her staff. Countless flames danced in the air and quickly gathered into a huge fireball.
"Celia!"
As soon as Asuna saw this, she immediately rushed forward with Kirito, protecting Celia behind them.
Tang Hao also quietly held the rune card in his hand.
"Huh?" Just when the battle was about to break out, Vinoshu noticed the aura of Kirito and Asuna. Her eyes flashed. "You are … elves?"
Asuna was stunned for a moment, but she immediately replied, "Yes, we are elves."
Kirito and Asuna, who had passed the Elf Class Advancement, not only did they gain some elven attributes, but they also changed from human beings to another race – elves. But unlike normal elves, they could hide their elven characteristics and appear as human beings. But when they needed to use elven power, they could release this part of their characteristics and become a real elf.
"Elves?" Celia was also startled and couldn't help but look at the two. Sure enough, she found that Kirito and Asuna's ears had become a bit pointy. She was surprised. "So you are elves. This is my first time seeing elves!"
No, you are also an elf.
Tang Hao muttered to himself while paying attention to Vinoshu. He found that her eyes were no longer as vigilant and hostile as before.
"I see." Vinoshu put away her staff, and the fireball in the air gradually dissipated. "As far as I know, during the fire in Grand Forest, the elves were all wiped out. I didn't expect there to be survivors … If it's an elf, it might be possible to repair the large magic array."
This elf was not an elf. Vinoshu didn't know the inside story, so it was a misunderstanding. Tang Hao and the others naturally wouldn't take the initiative to explain.
"So, you are willing to withdraw the flames?" Celia asked.
"No, I won't withdraw the flames. Otherwise, the things inside will escape." Vinoshu shook her head. "But I will leave an opening for you to go in. This way, you have achieved your goal. Also … I want to go with you."
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned.
Vinoshu said matter-of-factly, "The reason I'm here is to protect the large magic array. Since you are here for this, of course I have the obligation to help you."
Tang Hao blinked in confusion. What's going on? Why would Inferno Vinoshu take the initiative to help them?
At this time, he couldn't help but feel as if a strange voice flashed in his mind.
[Ding! Inferno Vinoshu has become a companion!]
