Once most players had submitted the quest "Imperial Crescent Moon," the Shadow Empire was transformed into a large, open temporary instance.
Simply put, when players enter the Shadow Empire's territory, they can choose to enter the Shadow Empire in its normal state or the Shadow Empire in its instance form.
In its normal state, the Shadow Empire is one where all corrupted monsters have been wiped out, and everything is in ruins.
The Shadow Empire in its instance form is filled with Fallen Ones, who respawn after being killed.
In this way, the Shadow Empire was not invaded by the Fallen Ones, and low-level players could still level up by entering dungeons, which is a pretty good setup.
For players who are above level 40, the next place to level up is naturally the volcanic area in the south.
The map of the volcanic region in the southern part of the Yuan Continent is the size of the combined size of the northern Human Empire, Elven Empire, and Beastman Empire.
Players will have to spend at least three years on this map. During this time, the conflict between NPCs, players, and the Fallen Ones will intensify, since the southern volcanic region is the Fallen Ones's stronghold.
Then, once the player has leveled up to a certain point, the underground ruins of the northern continent will open, and then the aliens will arrive.
At first, no one knew that the strange humanoid players who had appeared were aliens; they thought they were just some strange race that had been reincarnated on the Yuan Continent.
Until one day, when more and more strange humanoid life forms appeared, the strange life forms that first appeared on the Yuan Continent learned the language of Earth's civilization and began to reveal that they came from an alien civilization.
Since then, not only players have fought against them, but even the Fallen Ones have begun to fight against them.
After completing the "Imperial Crescent Moon" quest, there should be no more main quests for the time being.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Yuan Yi secretly modified the game world's settings in the real world. After all, since he was not captured in this life, he can still manage the world he created, as long as he is not discovered by the Starry Sky Divine Race.
The next few days.
Su Xi, as the most dazzling among the Descenders, was invited to the Holy Capital to hold a meeting.
Empress Bai Ya was also present, so Su Xi didn't offer any opinions. She simply sat next to Empress Bai Ya, observing the proceedings, and waited for the meeting to end.
The content of the meeting was roughly as Su Xi had guessed.
Archbishop Carlos Tai's life was nearing its end, and he wanted to take advantage of his remaining mobility to clean up the Fallen Camp in the southern volcanic region.
Besides that, what remains is that the events in the Shadow Empire have caused the Holy Capital to become dissatisfied with other Human Empire, demanding that the Carron Empire, the Saint Ace Empire, and the Southern City Alliance investigate their internal turmoil.
Of course, in addition to requiring them to conduct their own investigations, the Holy Capital also temporarily established an investigation team.
Su Xi was assigned to go inside by Empress Bai Ya.
After all, the Elf race also need manpower, and the Elf Saintess, who is always running around and doesn't stay on the Holy Tree, is the most suitable.
Bai Ya made the arrangements without any burden.
Su Xi could only roll her eyes at this.
Anyway, the experience reward for this investigation mission was quite good, so Su Xi didn't refuse.
I sold two legendary skill books a few days ago, and before I could even go find the witch in the north, I was summoned to the Holy Capital.
Since the investigation mission hasn't started yet, Su Xi naturally wants to take advantage of this free time to obtain the information.
The wind and snow in the north are bitterly cold and howling.
The sunlight settings in the Yuan Continent are similar to those in the real world. Therefore, based on the real world, the northern continent is currently experiencing a winter with heavy snowfall.
Ordinary orcs living in the north have also stockpiled food in preparation for the winter.
Further north, in the witch's realm where the sky is perpetually dark, many Mage Tower were illuminated with a warm glow.
Su Xi stepped into this area again, and it seemed that nothing had changed. The only change was that the footprints she had left in front of the Dragon-Slaying Witch's protective shield were now covered by snowflakes.
At this moment, Su Xi transformed her outfit into a more witch-like style before entering the Mage Tower of the Dragon-Slaying Witch.
"Hey, Great Tree Witch! I haven't seen you for days, where have you been?" Gegewah was pleasantly surprised to see Su Xi, then lowered her head and asked, "Did you hunt down a dragon?"
Su Xi smiled and shook her head.
Hunting dragons is no easy task; those dragons stay on the island and don't come out unless they commit a crime.
Moreover, killing a dragon without a legitimate reason would incur retaliation from Dragon Island. Therefore, Gegewah's mission can only be left to chance, to see which foolish dragon might appear before her in the future.
Gegewah said with a hint of regret, "Well, I know that hunting dragons isn't that easy."
They then welcomed Su Xi inside.
Inside the Mage Tower at this time, besides Su Xi, there were several other guests who had already been drinking.
Su Xi looked over, sensing something, and discovered that those witches were just ordinary players.
Then I realized that the witch clan has also opened up a reincarnation mechanism, but it seems that witches need to become professionals, such as Dark Witch or Dragon-Slaying Witch, in order to reincarnate.
Other races do not have class restrictions for reincarnation, so being able to reincarnate Witch Race is largely a matter of luck.
"I've come here to buy your blessing."
Gegewah's eyes widened in surprise. "Really?" she asked.
"Certainly."
At this moment, several witch players who had been sitting in the corner came up.
One of them exclaimed, "I knew it! She's Su, the Holy Maiden of the Elf race!"
"It really is, Your Highness Su. May we get to know each other?"
Looking at the faces of these people, Su Xi wondered how many of them were actually men in disguise. After hearing their words, Su Xi shook her head. "Sorry, I have other things to do."
Gegewah's pupils dilated in shock. "You're actually the Holy Maiden of the Elf race?!"
"Hmm, will this affect our deal?"
"No way!" Gegewah was overwhelmed by the surprise of ten million Gold Coin and quickly smiled as she led Su Xi to the back.
A short while later.
Su Xi received another blessing.
[Gegewah's Blessing]: ① Dragon Slayer: Increases damage by 30% when attacking enemies with dragon attributes; ② Dragon Race Resistance: Reduces damage taken from dragon enemies by 10% and grants immunity to negative status effects from dragon enemies.
A blessing effect specifically designed for dragons.
Incredible, incredibly powerful!
If Xiao You were to unleash all her Word Spirit Art on a dragon, coupled with the increased damage, Su Xi couldn't even imagine how outrageous the numbers would be.
After receiving the blessing, Gegewah looked exhausted.
It seems that after releasing the blessing, I need to rest for a while.
After driving everyone out of the Mage Tower, Gegewah hung up a sign in front of the door saying "Closed for Business".
