After showing off her equipment, Mavis logged off to play the game.
Faced with this guy's laziness, Su Xi could only shake her head helplessly.
She herself returned to her Portable Space, transformed into Sagiri, and used her skills to remove the negative buffs from the stupid fox.
In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.
Su Xi helped the players of the Huaxia Guild Alliance with several more tasks.
Therefore, Su Xi's fame spread among the NPCs.
That day, Su Xi stayed on the Holy Tree, with no tasks, intending to spend the whole day in a daze.
Not long after, a servant came to inform us that someone had come to visit, a nobleman from the Shadow Empire.
Curious about who it was, Su Xi stepped down from the Holy Tree.
"Who are you?"
I saw a young girl dressed in solemn black attire sitting there, her face veiled in black, with only her two azure eyes visible.
"Hello, Your Highness, the Holy Maiden of the Elf race."
"Hello."
Su Xi sat down opposite her.
However, as soon as she sat down, the other party suddenly stood up, knelt down before Su Xi, and said, "Your Highness, Holy Maiden of the Elf race, I am the Third Princess of the Shadow Empire's royal family. Our entire country has been plotted against by the witch clan and the Fallen Ones. I hope to receive Your Highness's help to avenge our country!"
The princess of the Shadow Empire, the Long Night royal family...?
"Ding! Grace Priscilla, the Third Princess of the Shadow Empire, has issued you a legendary quest, 'Shadow's Vengeance.' Would you like to accept it?"
The Shadow's Vengeance
Quest Level: Legendary
Mission Description: The Shadow Empire was able to fall into the hands of the Fallen Ones overnight, becoming a paradise for the corrupt, and it seems that a witch is behind it all.
Quest Hint: If you find the Disaster Witch, you might learn more details about what happened in the Shadow Empire...
Of course I'll accept!
However, Su Xi did not expect that this country had other missions. She thought that eliminating the Fallen Ones within the Shadow Empire was the only mission, since the Adventurer's Guild had never stopped sending missions about the Shadow Empire.
Moreover, the main quest "Imperial Evil Moon" hasn't even been completed yet.
Su Xi pondered for a moment and then agreed. Receiving this mission should have a significant impact on her world reputation.
Then he asked in surprise, "Aren't the witches supposed to live in the north? Why would they get involved in your affairs?"
Grace said with a hint of sadness and resentment, "Our royal family has always had ties with witches. After all, the place where our empire is located is where dark elements are most active. Witches from the north often come to our country to cultivate... I can confirm that my father, brothers, and sisters do not believe in Evil God. The fact that our empire could become like this overnight must be due to the witches' machinations!"
In other words, it's uncertain whether the witch was involved.
Su Xi used to not want to fight witches, since witches are the most skilled at curse magic. Getting hit by one or two curses isn't a big problem, but getting hit by dozens would be a big problem.
But now Su Xi has the enhanced [Curse Reversal] talent, which can be said to completely counter these witches.
"I understand, I will help you get revenge."
Grace was immediately moved to tears and said, "Thank you so much for your help, Your Highness!"
Su Xi waved her hand. How could she possibly refuse such a rare, legendary-level mission?
Speaking of the witch clan...
Su Xi remembered Remy's incarnation.
Remilia's character avatar's core item is in the witch's treasury. In her previous life, Su Xi received it as a random reward after completing a legendary quest from the witch.
The character avatar core item is useless to NPCs. They only put Gungnir in the treasury because they thought it looked very powerful. However, no witch has been able to discover the use of Gungnir, so it was eventually given to Su Xi as a reward item.
"I guess I'm a witch now. I wonder if I'll let her into her treasury to choose items if I see the Dragon-Slaying Witch again..." Su Xi said, stroking her chin.
After parting ways with Grace, Su Xi traveled alone to the Witch Territory in the north.
Anyway, Su Yu has two legendary fairies taking care of her, Kurumi is also there, so she can act on her own without any problems. The main issue is that neither Kurumi nor Su Yu has the talent to deal with curses. If they were to fight those witches, Kurumi might suffer a loss.
"The Witch Territory..."
Using a teleportation array, Su Xi arrived at the northernmost town of the Beastman Empire. After flying for two hours through wind and snow, she finally reached this location.
Like giants, witches do not have a concept of nationhood. Giants are born in tribes and live in the area east of the Beastman Empire, which is also known as the Giant Territory or the Goliath Giant Territory.
Witches do not have a country or tribes. Instead, they build their own Mage Tower amidst the snow and wind. Witches' Mage Tower can teleport to each other, provided they are not hostile.
If she were an enemy, opening up the teleportation array in her home would be suicide.
The unique ecosystem of witches has also enabled each witch to develop remarkable life skills. In order to attract other witches to their Mage Tower to buy the cursed items and witchcraft materials she creates, their cooking, bartending, and other skills are at a very high level.
In her previous life, Su Xi received a mission from the Dragon-Slaying Witch: to kill a dragon that had not yet fallen and bring its corpse to her.
Well, the Dragon-Slaying Witch is all bragging; she never actually slayed a dragon. She secretly commissioned Su Xi to do the task in order to impress the other witches.
Following the route she remembered, Su Xi passed through several Mage Tower that shone with warm lights amidst the wind and snow, and arrived at a Mage Tower with a Dragon Skeleton serving as a protective shield.
Su Xi landed in front of the protective shield. Since she didn't have a teleportation array between witches, she could only knock on the door from the outside if she wanted to enter the Mage Tower.
Soon, a witch riding a broom flew out and looked at the little guy standing in the snowstorm. The little guy's red, pointed ears immediately caught her attention. She asked in surprise, "Are you an elf?"
"Yes, may I come in, great Dragon-Slaying Witch?"
This compliment seemed to please the Dragon-Slaying Witch; she was surprised that her fame had reached the distant Elven Empire.
The Dragon-Slaying Witch, Gegewah, opened the protective shield with a delighted expression.
A warm breath blew through the protective shield and onto Su Xi's face.
Witches' Mage Tower are usually equipped with fire runes. Although the low temperatures of wind and snow do not affect the witches, who wouldn't prefer a warmer environment?
As Su Xi entered Gegewah's Mage Tower, the snowflakes on her body had melted into water droplets. Looking at the snowstorm sweeping outside the protective barrier, a warm feeling welled up inside her.
A gentle breeze swept by, blowing the water droplets off Su Xi's body outside the tower.
"This is Gegewah's free service~ I wonder what brings this lovely elf here?"
