Everyone was truly speechless, and it was definitely not an act!
At first, Liu Yuhan was taken aback when she received a sudden message from Yi Tianchen. How could Yi Tianchen, as a player, be detained by a System NPC?
It was simply too bizarre!
Although Zero Era was a holographic real-life online game, where the intelligence of NPCs reached an unprecedented level—almost equivalent to a player who could stay online forever—the occurrence of such a strange situation as detention seemed unlikely.
But the reality was just that; Liu Yuhan decisively took action!
As the members of the Rainy Years Guild returned to Southern Wilderness City in waves of white light and surrounded the Lord's Mansion, the entire Southern Wilderness City fell into an unknown panic—this situation was truly extraordinary in the eyes of the players!
"Is this not the end?"
The Terminator of Regrets and others exchanged glances, but apart from confusion, surprise, and bewilderment, there was nothing else.
"Boss, stop keeping us in suspense and just tell us!" Yesterday's Fireworks urged.
"You'll find out soon enough!" Yi Tianchen replied with a mysterious smile, not revealing everything right away. He added, "Just know one thing: from now on, focus on leveling up because before long—no, perhaps even today—there will be another battle!"
"Really?" Proud Dragon's eyes lit up instantly.
In fact, at that moment, it wasn't just Proud Dragon whose eyes sparkled. It could be said that everyone who heard Yi Tianchen's words felt a surge of anticipation. Even Liu Yuhan, Mu Wanqing, and Lin Yan couldn't help but feel excited.
There was no denying that the benefits from the previous battles were too evident!
"Let's go back to the Base of Operations first, and then we'll talk!" Yi Tianchen smiled as he led the way. Liu Yuhan shook her head and heard Mu Wanqing whisper beside her, "Sister Yuhan, do you think Tianchen is just trying to fool us? The Server-wide battle has just ended; what kind of battle could possibly arise now?"
"Tianchen... he shouldn't be..."
Liu Yuhan smiled faintly, well aware of Yi Tianchen's character. However, as Mu Wanqing had said, the grand Server-wide battle had only just concluded. Looking at the entire Dreamland Continent now, what could possibly lead to another battle?
"Could it be..." Liu Yuhan suddenly froze, gazing at the already distant figure of Yi Tianchen.
※※※
Half an hour earlier...
Yi Tianchen's instincts were not wrong, and they were confirmed just moments later. With the sound of hurried footsteps approaching, dozens of fully armed Ironclad Cavalry surrounded Yi Tianchen, shields in their left hands and spears in their right.
"Hah—"
Yi Tianchen was speechless. With his current strength, these mere dozens of Heavy Cavalry posed no real threat to him.
"Do you really think you can stop me like this?"
Yi Tianchen's expression darkened. He had long lost interest in why the NPCs Doron and Court Priest Jeno had suddenly taken such action. With a swift motion, he swung his Dragon's Roar, the chains clanking loudly as he assumed a stance ready for attack.
"Hah—"
The dozens of Heavy Cavalry shouted in unison, raising their spears to point directly at Yi Tianchen, also taking up a stance prepared for an assault.
"I know they can't stop you!" Doron said with a slight smile.
At the same time, the sound of footsteps echoed through the hall, and a squad of heavily armored swordsmen appeared at the entrance, forming a blockade with seven layers of defense. Behind these armored warriors, there were also three layers of archers ready to shoot.
"Damn it!"
Yi Tianchen couldn't help but feel dazed; this situation...
Indeed, it was an extremely dangerous predicament. Dozens of Heavy Cavalry were blocking him on all sides, severely restricting his ability to advance. Even if he managed to escape, there were still hundreds of heavily armored swordsmen guarding the exit.
What was even more terrifying was the fact that there were over a hundred archers!
In such a confined space, with both the Heavy Cavalry and the armored swordsmen restraining him, those archers only needed one round of rapid fire to instantly kill Yi Tianchen—being pierced by countless arrows would surely be quite painful, wouldn't it?
"Leave Dragon's Roar behind, and you can leave freely!" Court Priest Jeno stated.
Yi Tianchen furrowed his brow, confusion rising in his heart. Why? Why had such a dramatic scene suddenly unfolded?
What hidden motives lay behind this?
As he pondered, Yi Tianchen decided to play it safe and immediately sent a message to Liu Yuhan. He then put away Dragon's Roar and said, "You can't possibly be thinking of borrowing it, can you?"
"Hand over Dragon's Roar, and I can offer you a Divine Weapon that rivals Dragon's Roar, or even something more powerful!" Doron looked at Yi Tianchen seriously, his words resonating with conviction that left no room for doubt.
However...
Yi Tianchen quickly grasped the key point, enough to rival the Divine Weapon of Dragon's Roar, or even surpass it. This clearly indicated a very important issue: the actions of Doron and Court Priest Jeno were solely aimed at Dragon's Roar.
What could possibly motivate them to pay such a high price?
Although it was questionable whether there were any Divine Weapons that could compare to Dragon's Roar in this world, the existence that could surpass Dragon's Roar seemed even more illusory. Nevertheless, Yi Tianchen swiftly focused all his attention and goals on the Dragon's Roar in his hand.
Dragon's Roar: The foremost of the Three Divine Weapons!
As the Otherworldly Race invaded, during a time of great peril for the world, a Divine Weapon emerged. It was said to be made from Heavenly Iron, fused with Ice Essence and Blaze Essence, cast with Earth's Essence as a medium. It measured four feet three inches in total length, with a blade length of three feet three inches, weighing one hundred eight pounds. Moreover, it contained a sealed Dragon Soul within, capable of stirring winds and clouds with its swing, echoing with the sound of Dragon's Roar. Thus, it was named Dragon's Roar, the foremost among the Three Divine Weapons of Lietian Dream Continent. After driving away the Otherworldly Race, its spiritual energy dissipated, and its whereabouts became unknown. As time passed unnoticed over a thousand years, by an extremely fortuitous encounter, it was discovered by the player Fallen Leaves Whisper within the belly of the Three-Headed Spirit Serpent. The once-lost Divine Weapon finally reappeared.
Yi Tianchen quickly reviewed the descriptions related to Dragon's Roar...
But what did all this signify?
"The invasion of the Otherworldly Race coincided with a time of great peril for the world when a Divine Weapon emerged..." Yi Tianchen pondered, feeling as if he had grasped something elusive. Yet he couldn't quite connect the dots until suddenly a flash of insight struck him—
"Could it be...?"
"Hehe..." Yi Tianchen suddenly smiled, shifting his gaze from Court Priest Jeno back to Doron, and mysteriously said, "Perhaps we can sit down and have a good talk!"
