Snowfield.
The year 2122.
Beginning of March.
It was the season of spring for all things.
Of course, this was not possible in the snowfield.
The snowfield only had eternal frozen ground and snowy skies. Occasionally, it would clear up.
"Phew …"
"Negotiation."
Yi Lin played with the dagger with a smile on her face.
"Say it."
Although Homeros was being attacked by Yi Lin, there was no sign of anger on his face.
As expected of the national Iceberg Prince Charming.
"I want a fully functional airship and a team of people who know how to operate it."
"Okay."
“？”
Homeros agreed without hesitation.
The moment Irin stated his conditions, he agreed without hesitation.
It was so fast that Irin was stunned for a moment. He thought he had misheard.
"What did you just say?"
"… Okay."
"You agreed just like that?"
"Okay."
"Uh, to be honest, I thought you would resist a little."
"…"
…
While Yi Lin and the Big Boss Hermelos were in the middle of a strange negotiation, Yi Lin and Hermelos exchanged questions and answers.
"Ding!" Irin's ear, as expected.
The sound was crisp and pleasant.
Ding!
[Accepted Side Mission: Homeros' Compromise.]
[…]
The prompt was stuck for a while.
[Completed Side Mission: Homeros' Compromise.]
[Obtained temporary permission to use the Intermediate Airship Faraday.]
[Obtained temporary permission to command the Twin Lions Airship Pilots.]
This Side Mission …
Before the content could be displayed, Irin completed it at the speed of light.
Accepting and completing the mission happened at the same time.
This kind of mission couldn't have been created at the last minute and was just a formality, right?
A strange idea popped up in Irin's mind.
But no matter what, since the system prompt popped up, it meant that Irin's bold idea had come true.
Through peaceful negotiations, he persuaded Homeros to lend him an airship, as well as the authority to command a squadron of pilots who knew how to operate the airship.
Actually, for Irin and the others, it was not difficult to get an airship.
The problem was that … no one knew how to drive it!
By making the vehicle control system so complicated, the game was obviously trying to make things difficult for the players!
Yi Lin stood in front of Homeros, far away, and read the notification over and over again.
There didn't seem to be anything fishy.
System authentication.
There was nothing wrong with the supervision of the gods.
Irin closed the panel.
"Then, goodbye?"
Irin said tentatively and prepared to leave.
"Heh."
What Irin didn't expect was that Homeros, who had been pulling a long face from the beginning to the end, suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. His unchanging expression slightly relaxed.
The f * ck?
This guy actually laughed?
Irin, who was slowly retreating into the darkness, suddenly stopped.
Before Irin could react, after Irin took a step back, Homeros tightened his grip on his sheathed sword and took a step forward.
The moment Homeros made his move, the air that had calmed down became heavy again.
Homeros's step was like stepping on Yi Lin's chest, making Yi Lin feel oppressed to the point that it was hard to breathe.
This step was also stuck at what Irin thought was a safe distance.
It was neither too far nor too close. One more step wouldn't make a difference.
As expected, Homeros smiled.
Although the corners of his mouth curled up very slightly, Yi Lin could clearly see that this fellow was indeed smiling.
Irin suddenly had a bad feeling.
"This is a promise.
I have given you what you want. If you break the promise, I will kill you no matter where you are. "
"What do you mean?"
"If you leave 'Gaia,' where can you go?"
Irin froze.
Seeing Irin's expression change, Homeros quickly stopped smiling and continued, "It seems that the 'prophecy' is true."
Prophecy.
Irin once again heard this pretentious term from the mouth of the NPC.
It seemed to be the background setting of the 'players.'
In many games, to increase the immersion of the players, they often used identities such as' the summoned person, '' the chosen one, '' the hero from another world, 'and so on to increase the immersion and sense of purpose of the players, allowing the players to have a more perfect immersion experience.
Originally, it was nothing, but when it came from the mouth of the NPC, no matter which player it was, they would instantly feel high and mighty.
Irin didn't interrupt.
Homeros continued, "In the year 333 of the Cloud Calendar, there will be a hero from another world that will come and save this world."
"I didn't believe it at first."
"Now, I still don't believe it."
Homeros's angular features were as cold as iron.
This Boss, Homeros, who was like a cheat, slowly raised the longsword in his hand in front of Irin. The air around them trembled slightly the moment Homeros raised his sword, emitting a ringing sound similar to that of a trembling sword.
Irin's expression changed.
Wasn't it just an NPC? Was there a need to give such a ridiculous special effect?
While Irin was shocked.
Homeros used an unwavering tone and sonorous words to say, "I only believe in my 'divine sword.' My sword is enough to wipe out all disasters. If one sword isn't enough, then two swords. "
I know you're awesome. Hurry up and tell me about your worldview.
Irin thought.
But Irin obediently took another step back.
He was afraid that this Boss, Homeros, would not care about martial ethics and kill him with his sword.
Irin took a deep breath and didn't interrupt.
After Homeros made his invincible declaration, he quickly put down his longsword and stood up with his sword in his initial pose. His tone changed. "But I believe that you don't belong to this world."
So what if you can see it?
Should I give you an award?
Irin curled his lips.
Irin originally wanted Homeros to hurry up and say it.
But ever since Irin escaped from the prison until now, he hadn't seen any other guards come to help. Irin guessed that he had triggered some sort of hidden storyline. So no matter how long-winded Homeros was, he could only patiently listen and wait.
As expected, according to the rules of the game, Homeros said the 'worldview background' that Irin didn't have time to ask about.
"Legend has it that the gods created this world with seven giant god beasts."
"Earth, Gaia."
"Wind, Aeolus."
"Fire, Boros."
"Ice, Patagus."
"Light, Aurora."
"Water, Poseidon."
After Homeros finished, his actions didn't change, but he fell into a short silence.
Irin waited for a short while, but seeing that Homeros didn't speak, he took the initiative to attack. He counted with his fingers three times and asked curiously, "Seven giant god beasts, but you only said six."
"That is not important."
Homeros slowly shook his head.
What the heck?
The difference between seven and six was so huge, and that wasn't important?
Irin felt that Homeros was hiding something.
However, the Boss had one of the forty-nine godly swords in the game, and he was really strong. Irin couldn't poke his head in and pry open Homeros' mouth, so he could only let the Boss say that it wasn't important.
"Wait … Gaia … giant god beasts?" Irin suddenly sucked in a deep breath, and his expression was one of shock. "You mean that the land under our feet was formed after the giant god beasts died?"
"Died?" Homeros' words shocked everyone. "They are alive."
“！”
Irin was shocked.
He couldn't help but be shocked.
He had never imagined that the worldview of the game would be so imaginative.
In the vast sea of clouds, the seven giant god beasts turned into land, and countless "people" built cities and settlements on the backs of the giant god beasts. When Irin first entered the game, he had walked from Gaia South to Gaia North, and then from Gaia West to Gaia East. He had never thought that this vast journey would only happen on the back of one giant god beast.
What a magnificent view of the world!
"The giant god beasts are always moving. In the vast sea of clouds, there are no road signs. Even if you have a ship, you won't be able to find the other giant god beasts. In the end, you will run out of fuel and become a 'dead ship' floating in the depths of the sea of clouds, or fall into the abyss."
Irin finally understood.
So this was what Homeros was planning.
After Homeros told her the truth, Yi Lin, who knew that she had been tricked, laughed out of extreme anger and said, "What you mean is that you're only responsible for the airship and the people who know how to pilot it, but you won't give me a 'road sign' that leads to the other Giant Divine Beasts? What is the difference between you and a hooligan? "
"Heh."
Homeros lowered his head and chuckled.
He seemed to know that he was being a hooligan.
But he still tricked him.
After laughing, Homeros' expression was calm.
"Twin Lions Nation, 100,000 people in exchange for an airship, you won't lose out. But if you break the contract … "
Homeros didn't finish his words.
When the Ice Mountain Prince Charming, the Sword Saint, the Grand Knight of the State, and the lover of millions of Twin Lion Girls was about to say something, Homeros loosened his grip slightly, and the exquisite two-handed greatsword strangely bounced up an inch. With a clang, the sword light that leaked out from the scabbard made the surrounding moonlight dim.
That light also stung Irin's eyes.
Irin couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
The threat in it was self-evident.
Irin was silent.
Homeros' meaning was very clear.
I can give you the airship and the people.
The condition is that you don't assassinate any of the 100,000 people of the Twin Lions Nation.
Irin also agreed.
This was the deal.
Irin had also completed the side quest and obtained the rewards he deserved, so he couldn't fake it.
As for the "road signs" that led the airship to other giant divine beasts that Homeros had mentioned, that was another matter altogether. It had nothing to do with this matter.
However, if Yi Lin went back on her word and used the same method to threaten the super BOSS Hermelos to hand over the road sign, she would most likely incur the wrath of a high-level BOSS. Although Gaia was huge, as long as Irin couldn't run out, Homeros would catch up to him sooner or later. It wasn't worth it.
It wasn't worth it either.
After Irin thought through the crux of the matter, he smiled. However, he felt a little depressed.
"No wonder you knew that I was good at escaping and still locked me in that cell. So, everything was within your expectations."
"Let me think, it's just … killing people?"
"That makes sense. The timing, location, and people, plus what happened in the day, no one would suspect anything. "
"Keke, I found it weird before. If everyone in this country followed the so-called Knight Way, this country wouldn't have survived until now."
"Some people are sinister, some people are naive. That makes sense."
"What peaceful time? It's nothing more than someone carrying a heavy burden."
Irin muttered to himself.
Finally.
Irin opened his eyes once more and looked at Homeros.
"Speak, who do you want to kill?"
After Irin finished his opening speech, he didn't waste any more time and spoke about the purpose of the meeting, "If I didn't guess wrongly, based on this rhythm, the first person to successfully build a base will receive a corresponding achievement and reward. However, I don't have enough DP. At least half. "
As he spoke, Irin smiled and reached out to his friends. He used his thumb and index finger to rub them together.
"…."
