Upon completion of the task, the village chief brought Su Yu back to his home.
After rummaging through a dusty storeroom, the village chief came out with a dirt-smudged face, holding a stick emanating a purple light.
“Hem hem, Nemesis, this is your reward! Thank you for your contributions to Nolan Village, in helping us face the beast tide successfully, without a single villager being sacrificed!”
The village chief walked towards Su Yu, smiling as he thrust the stick into his hands.
“Ding, the main plotline [The Glory of the Forsythia Empire (50/100)] has been completed.”
“Reward obtained: [Useless Big Stick (Epic)] X1, Spiritual Energy Coins X1000.”
“Ding, it is detected that you possess [Tear of the Goddess], [Useless Big Stick], and [Amplification Tome]. Would you like to combine these three items into the [Archangel’s Staff]?”
“[Yes]”
“[No]”
Without giving it much thought, Su Yu selected [Yes].
After making the choice, the [Useless Big Stick] turned into a ray of light and ascended into the sky.
The [Amplification Tome] from the 45 loop reward of the princess line in Su Yu’s backpack and the [Tear of the Goddess] that he was wearing both turned into rays of light and merged with the ray from the [Useless Big Stick].
The three rays of light converged and ultimately formed a magic wand emanating blue light in mid-air.
“Ding, congratulations, you have acquired the legendary item [Archangel’s Staff]!”
“Ding, it is detected that the magic power of the [Archangel’s Staff] has reached the maximum. The [Archangel’s Staff] is evolving into the [Embrace of the Seraphim]!”
Accompanied by a system prompt, the [Archangel’s Staff] burst into a dazzling light in the sky, reassembled, and ultimately evolved into an even more brilliant staff radiating blue light.
The staff floated down from the sky, landing in Su Yu’s hands.
Su Yu swiftly checked the properties of the staff.
[Embrace of the Seraphim (Legend)]
Accessory, Weapon
Magic Strength +100
Magic Power Limit +1000
Feature 1: Provides an additional magic strength equivalent to 5% of extra magic power.
Feature 2: Increases your maximum magic power by 10%.
Feature 3: Condenses a shield equivalent to 20% of your maximum magic power to protect you from damage. Instant cast, cooldown time 120 seconds.
Feature 4: This equipment can be equipped in the[Weapon]slot or the[Accessory]slot.
Note: There was once a restaurant owner who named a barbecue chicken wing ‘Embrace of the Seraphim.’ Is this ‘Embrace of the Seraphim’ a similar thing?
Su Yu was extremely satisfied with the properties of the [Embrace of the Seraphim].
This piece of equipment could be considered the pinnacle of first-stage equipment. It significantly enhanced his magic strength and mana, and even came with an instant cast shield skill.
The attribute enhancement of the [Embrace of the Seraphim] was not inferior to any third-stage equipment at level 50. At least in the short term, he wouldn’t need to change his equipment.
Just then, he received another system announcement:
“Ding, the second stage of the main plotline [The Glory of the Forsythia Empire] has been completed. The next stage will begin on July 1, so please look forward to it.”
Su Yu left his territory on June 20, and today was June 26. He spent six and a half days completing the second stage of the princess line tasks, leaving only four and a half days for completing the Tina line.
Fortunately, the storyline of the Tina line was more compact than the princess line. The four and a half days were more than enough for him to complete it, so Su Yu wasn’t too worried.
After satisfactorily placing the [Embrace of the Seraphim] into the [Accessory] slot, Su Yu turned to the village chief in front of him and asked, “Mr. Village Chief, does this mean that you’ll agree to go up to the mountain to deal with the rebel forces?”
The village chief did not respond, but turned his head to stare straight out the window.
Sensing the village chief’s hesitations, Su Yu took out a strategic map from his bag, spread it out, and used magic to secure it to the wall of the village chief’s house.
“As you can see, I have already planned it all out for you. When the princess’s troops arrive in Orleans City, the rebel forces will surely seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack when we are still unsteady. At that time, we will be able to launch a pincer attack on the high-ranking powerhouses of the rebels at Red Ridge Mountains ”
Su Yu pointed at the location of Red Ridge Mountain in Orleans City on the map and kept on talking.
“Nemesis, you’ve gotten something wrong,” The village chief interrupted Su Yu, “I promised you that ‘if you pass my test, I will consider assisting the princess.’ But I never said I would definitely help her. I said I would contemplate it.
Give me some more time to think it over, then I’ll give you a response.”
The village chief began to make excuses.
Su Yu crossed his arms, staring at the chief intently, “Aren’t you afraid of Tina dying on the battlefield?
I’ve spoken to Tina’s father. Tina is the only descendant of Lady Bernina Tide who can awaken her bloodline. If Lady Bernina Tide knew about it from beyond the grave, she would be very disappointed in all of you!”
Upon hearing the name and Su Yu’s words, the village chief’s mouth fell open in shock, and his body began to tremble violently.
“Ho How How do you know this?” The voice of the village chief was trembling and unbelieving.
According to what Su Yu had learned in this short time, the origin of everything goes back a thousand years:
A thousand years ago, there were three god-ranked powerhouses born in the human world: Kevin Forsythia, Bard, and Bernina Tide.
Kevin Forsythia, with the help of his family’s power, established the Forsythia Empire;
Bard united the various tribes under him and established the Wind Chime Empire on another continent;
As for Bernina Tide, she was a free soul who neither joined nor established any power groups.
One hundred years ago, Bernina Tide fell.
Her fall was not due to an attack from enemies, but a choice she herself made.
As for why she made that choice, no one could say for certain.
After her fall, Bernina’s body transformed into a small world. Inside it, her descendants founded a village where they lived, calling it Sunny Wind Village, which is the origin of the first beginner village.
The several hundred subsequent beginner villages, including the 6th beginner village “Nolan Village” where Su Yu resided, were actually projections of Sunny Wind Village in different independent planes. Only Sunny Wind Village truly exists.
For the nearly hundred years following Bernina’s fall, her descendants continued living in Sunny Wind Village.
To protect her descendants, Bernina left three of her seventh-rank avatars behind.
These three avatars were the village chiefs, the widow Jenny, and Annie’s adoptive father – the lumberjack Beru. They were constantly playing a role-playing game, completely concealing their true power and blending in with the ordinary people.
Interestingly, these three individuals were involved in a love triangle.
The descendants of Bernina generally had high potential and through cultivation could produce many high-ranking powerhouses. The village also had a teleportation array connected to the outside world.
External powers did not know this village was left by Bernina, but only knew that the village produced talented individuals.
Therefore, over the following hundred years, medium and small forces belonging to the Empire, such as the Scholar’s Temple, the Warrior’s Guild, and the Magic Guild etc., established themselves in Sunny Wind Village.
As these forces moved in, a large number of outsiders migrated in and the royal family also joined the trend, sending in Baron Wilson to be in charge of collecting taxes.
The village chief ignored these outsiders as long as they did not harm Bernina’s descendants.
Thus, Sunny Wind Village gradually turned into what it is today.
As for “the best sword in the village”, it was one of the few divine weapons left by Bernina.
The village chief only gave Su Yu 10 opportunities to use it, after which it must be returned.
Unexpectedly, Su Yu used it very sparingly, only using it three times so far, so the divine weapon was still in Su Yu’s hands.
