Chapter 44: Collecting Aurora Crystals! Human Overlord!
"Is it still a hidden mission?"
Zhou Zhou clicked his tongue in surprise.
That means there are also ordinary tasks?
Moreover, the rewards for this platinum lower-level hidden mission are also rich enough.
Zhou Zhou looked a little greedy.
"Yuquan Town..."
"The name sounds familiar."
Zhou Zhou began to think.
After a while.
He suddenly reacted.
He remembered seeing this Yuquan Town in Wu Tu's skill list, and he had also drawn a map of Yuquan Town.
"Wu Tu most likely knows where Yuquan Town is!"
"When he comes back, you can ask him."
Zhou Zhou thought.
in the following time.
Zhou Zhou was not idle either.
Knowing that the mission existed, he began to try to obtain missions from other people in his territory.
As a result, after being busy all morning, he only got one ordinary task.
Although other people will also need some help from themselves, they cannot trigger formal tasks at all.
And this only ordinary task was obtained from Zhao Changshou, Mr. Zhao.
[Name of commissioned task: Collect Aurora Crystal]
[Quest quality: Bronze Advanced·Normal]
[Task content: Zhao Changshou knows the predicament two days later and makes a suggestion to you to build a lower-level bronze Aurora Tower. Go collect 10 units of Aurora Crystals and build the first Kingdom-level building in the Sun Layer! ]
[Task reward: a bronze advanced Aurora Tower, 50 bronze-level Mist Hearts, and Zhao Changshou’s loyalty increased to 90 points. ]
However, this material is really rare.
After Zhou Zhou collected it for so long, he was stunned that he didn't receive even a single unit of Aurora Crystal.
But he was not completely without gains.
A lord approached Zhou Zhou through the exchange and offered to trade 20 units of Black Iron lower-level Desert Mist Lizard flesh and blood for a piece of Aurora Crystal material information.
After Zhou Zhou agreed, he learned the source of the Aurora Crystal from the other party.
It turns out that this aurora crystal is not a naturally occurring ore such as iron ore, copper ore, or mithril ore.
It was born within the Aurora human race.
It is an important energy core equivalent to the Heart of Mist!
Only the Aurora Human Race at Bronze Level and above can give birth to Aurora Crystals after death.
Therefore, in the Aurora Kingdom, Aurora Crystal is an important resource regarded as a strategic material by the kingdom's upper echelons, and civilians are expressly prohibited from trading it.
Therefore, there are very few Aurora Crystals that can be spread outside!
This is also the reason why Zhou Zhou has never received the Aurora Crystal.
"Whether it's collecting Aurora Crystals."
"I still want to complete Bao Xiuer's hidden mission."
"I need to go to the Aurora Kingdom in person."
Zhou Zhou thought.
But this kind of thing is risky.
He had to be ready to go.
at this time.
Linger sent a message.
[Elixir Lord: Big brother, everyone on the world channel seems to be discussing your matter, big brother. It seems that a lord was caught by your subordinates and is now calling for help on the world channel. ]
Zhou Zhou was stunned.
Then I immediately opened the World Channel and started watching.
really.
The affairs between him and the captured lord were being discussed on the world channel.
This lord is called Lord Xiongba.
He said that he and his soldiers went out to look for monsters, but were all captured alive by a group of soldiers riding strange alchemical mechanical birds.
When he saw the information about this group of soldiers, he realized that these soldiers were soldiers of the famous Lord Sun.
Now this overbearing lord is frantically begging other lords to find a way to get him out of this crisis.
Other lords also expressed their opinions.
"It is recommended that you surrender directly, give up your identity as a lord, and actively ask to become a subject of Elder Jiaoyang. In this way, maybe others will let you live out of the sake of kinship."
"Actually, to be honest, since your two territories are connected, unless neither of you wants to expand your territory, you two will have a fight sooner or later."
"There is no such thing as a fluke in the battle of lords."
"I thought that Elder Jiaoyang was the same as Lord Dragon Girl, possessing inhuman combat power. I didn't expect that he was actually developing alchemy technology. Can alchemy technology make humans so powerful?"
"I didn't expect that Elder Jiaoyang would rise as a human soldier. Just because of this, I am a fan of Elder Jiaoyang!"
"We are all Blue Star humans. Why do we have to fight with each other? What does it mean for Lord Scorching Sun to capture Lord Xiongba? Are you going to kill my fellow villagers?"
"Maybe. I think Lord Sun is a person who is desperate to develop his own power. Just look at his previous behavior as a profiteer. Lord Xiongba will probably suffer."
"If Lord Sun really does this, I will be black for the rest of my life!"
"How come I can meet such a holy mother bitch everywhere?!"
"Lord Xiongba: But I don't want to die! I don't want to lose my identity as a lord either. I have never done anything bad. Why should this happen to me?"
"Tsk, tsk, I no longer want to be a lord who may lose his head at any time. If I were you, I would just give up my identity as a lord and embrace the lap of Lord Sun!"
"I think so too. It's too dangerous to be a lord. It's better to just be a subject under a powerful lord."
…
It seems that Bai Yun and the others have really captured the human lord.
And he is really the lord of their Blue Star.
Zhou Zhou thought after reading it.
As for the speeches of these lords, Zhou Zhou had already expected them.
That's why they didn't let Bai Yun and the others kill them directly, but chose to capture them.
Unexpectedly.
It still caused a stir among the Blue Star Lords.
Zhou Zhou was not panicked.
With his current strength, he would not be afraid unless hundreds of lords jointly besieged him.
"But we still need to prepare early."
Zhou Zhou thought.
More than half an hour later.
Bai Yun and the others came back.
They also brought 8 captive soldiers.
Because captives cannot be brought into the protective cover of the novice lord, they stood outside the protective cover temporarily.
After Zhou Zhou knew about it, he first turned on the recording function of the world channel, and then went out to meet them.
"Lord, I am lucky to have fulfilled your mission!"
Bai Yun said respectfully.
"Well done."
Zhou Zhou praised, and then his eyes swept among the eight captives and quickly found the Xiongba Lord.
This Xiongba Lord was about 20 years old, with ordinary looks, wearing a set of standard equipment for archers, but the bow and arrow had been taken away at this time.
At this time, he was looking at Zhou Zhou silently, with a look of unwillingness flashing in the depths of his eyes.
The task panel information appeared in front of him.
[Lord title: Xiongba Lord]
[Affiliated territory: Tianxia City]
[Army name: Archer]
[Strength level: Intermediate Black Iron]
[Ability overview: A human lord from Blue Star, who was lucky enough to get a "Certificate of Archer's Job Transfer" and became an archer, yearning for the legendary position of the Supreme Lord! ]
[Skills: Intermediate Black Iron Archery]
[Loot explosion rate: 4 Black Iron-level Mist Hearts (explosion rate: 100%), a non-grade "Certificate of Archer's Job Transfer" (explosion rate: 1%), 6 Black Iron-level Lord Talent Crystal Fragments (explosion rate: 0%)]
Zhou Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly.
Originally, his idea was that if the other party had a good attitude and was willing to voluntarily become his subject.
He could spare his life.
But now, looking at the content of "yearning for the legendary supreme lord position" in the other party's ability introduction.
Add to that what the other party said on the world channel.
He suddenly realized something.
The other party might not be so willing to give up the lord status and become his subject.
Zhou Zhou thought for a while and soon had an idea in his mind.
