Chapter 1172: Black Crystal
“Who are you two? Why are you trespa.s.sing into my Dark Temple?”
That voice was not loud but it clearly entered w.a.n.g Yu and Shroom Devil King’s ears.
The two of them hurriedly turned around and looked deep into the temple. They saw a man clad in black clothing sitting right in the middle of it.
That man in black looked pale and his hair was messy. Although he was dressed nicely, it did not cover up his disheveled appearance.
w.a.n.g Yu looked around and there was no one else so obviously, the one who spoke was this man in black.
From the temple to the entrance where they were, it was at least a dozen metres far and yet this man’s whisper could pierce through the commotion of the troops outside and clearly reach their ears. This meant that his abilities were no weaker than Saint Alice.
Needless to say, this man was the legendary Light Apostle, Leon.
w.a.n.g Yu was about to ask but after just a few steps, a black s.h.i.+eld suddenly appeared, blocking their way.
Just then, Leon, who was in the temple asked coldly, “Did you lure these Cross troops here?”
w.a.n.g Yu, “…”
The game designer was really treacherous. Usually, quests would have wordplay but now even in a conversation with an NPC, there were also traps.
Obviously, Leon’s tone showed signs of animosity. If w.a.n.g Yu honestly replied yes, Leon would not hesitate to throw the two of them out of the temple.
Luckily, w.a.n.g Yu had suffered in the hands of many NPCs and was almost set up by Saint Alice just now so naturally, he was warier.
Hearing Leon’s tone, w.a.n.g Yu calmly replied, “These Cross troops are coming after me.”
“Oh?” Leon, who was in the Dark Temple raised an eyebrow and asked again, “Why are they after you?”
“Because of this!” w.a.n.g Yu took out the box with Saint Alice’s head from his bag then threw it towards Leon. The box pa.s.sed the barrier and landed beside Leon.
Leon’s body trembled a bit and did not open the box. Instead, he asked suspiciously, “What is this?”
“Saint Alice’s head. I killed her!” w.a.n.g Yu cupped his fists and said, “Now we are chased by the Cross troops. Please let us enter the temple and ensure our safety.”
“You… You killed Saint Alice?” Leon looked at the box in shock then sighed, “Great, great, great! You may be young but you are so capable, you even removed my greatest enemy. Come on in.”
As he spoke, a ray of black light wrapped around w.a.n.g Yu. Other than the colour, Leon’s method was almost exactly the same as Saint Alice.
Just as w.a.n.g Yu expected, the key to this quest was the needed tokens to enter the two temples.
The Light Temple was obviously through Hermit’s cross and for the Dark Temple, it was Saint Alice’s head.
Only an unpredictable guy like w.a.n.g Yu, and not any other usual players, dared to not just attack a G.o.d-tier BOSS like Saint Alice but could even realise that based on what Hermit said, there was a need to kill Saint Alice in this quest.
What was being treacherous for survival? What was good intent? w.a.n.g Yu finally understood these…
Shroom Devil King saw w.a.n.g Yu enter the temple and realised she was not included so she quickly yelled, “How about me? How about me?”
“Then who are you?” Leon noticed her after hearing her voice so he asked after a pause.
Shroom Devil King quickly took out a letter from her chest area, lifted it and shouted, “The Dark Council’s elder, Cervantes, asked me to pa.s.s this to you.
It was a running quest but simply speaking, it was a mailman quest so this letter was her token for entry.
“Cervantes? I haven’t seen him in a long time. Come on in too!”
As he spoke, Shroom Devil King was also sent into the temple.
After the two of them entered the temple, w.a.n.g Yu sent Shroom Devil King an eye signal and whispered, “Complete your quest first.”
Although Shroom Devil King did not understand why, since w.a.n.g Yu asked, she did not dare to defy him so she went forward and pa.s.sed Leon the letter.
Shroom Devil King’s was a simple running quest which was completely different from w.a.n.g Yu’s so after pa.s.sing Leon the letter, she had already successfully completed the last round of this quest.
After completing the quest, the abundant reward made Shroom Devil King’s XP bar greatly increase. Leon nodded and praised, “Good job, child. It has been a tiring journey for you. I got this ore when I was younger and have no use for it now. Take it.”
As he spoke, Leon took out a jet black stone and pa.s.sed it to Shroom Devil King.
“What an ugly stone.” Shroom Devil King was a girl and was used to judging by appearance so she grumbled upon receiving it then casually was about to keep it.
Just then, w.a.n.g Yu suddenly thought of something then asked with his eyes lit, “What is this?”
Shroom Devil King looked at it then said, “It is called Black Crystal but no matter how I look, it doesn’t seem like a crystal.”
At the same time, Shroom Devil King displayed the stone’s attributes.
Black Crystal: An unknown mineral with a secret force inside.
“F*ck! This is how a black crystal is made?”
Seeing the attributes of the stone in Shroom Devil King’s hand, w.a.n.g Yu’s eyeb.a.l.l.s almost flew out.
w.a.n.g Yu knew that Black Crystals could only be gotten through quests but in his impression, only an S-grade quest could give such a precious item but who knew, it appeared in a simple running quest.
This game’s setting was indeed a mess.
Of course, w.a.n.g Yu did not know that though running quests were simple, it was difficult to continuously do easy things well. Furthermore, a 250-round running quest was almost as rare as an S-grade quest, plus there was a limited chance of getting the Black Crystal at the end.
Shroom Devil King was really lucky this time.
“Why? You like this?” Shroom Devil King observed the Black Crystal in her hand and asked w.a.n.g Yu.
“Yup!” w.a.n.g Yu nodded his head furiously, “I have been looking for this recently.”
“Take it!”
Shroom Devil King heard him then casually threw the Black Crystal over.
w.a.n.g Yu received it then said flatteringly, “You’re giving it to me? How… How can I just take it.”
Obviously, Shroom Devil King did not know how valuable but there was no such thing as a free lunch. If w.a.n.g Yu just took it, then…”
“Give it to you? You wis.h.!.+” Shroom Devil King smiled and said, “This is your remuneration. Return the mercenary contract to me, you shameless one. Don’t think of getting away with it.”
w.a.n.g Yu, “…”
After w.a.n.g Yu returned the contract to Shroom Devil King, her quest was officially completed so she patted w.a.n.g Yu on the shoulder and said, “Alright, the quest is done. Let’s go.”
“Go?” w.a.n.g Yu smiled and said, “No hurry, I’m not done with my quest.”
