MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter
Chapter 1326 - Chapter 1326 Chapter 1326 Mission

Chapter 1326: Chapter 1326: Mission Chapter 1326: Chapter 1326: Mission Although Edward was prepared, he still nearly lost his grip on the bow, stumbling back several steps before steadying himself, “This thing is incredibly heavy. You really don’t mind parting with it? Aren’t you afraid I won’t return it to you?”

Li Yao laughed, “You don’t have to return it to me, just keep it for yourself. Though no one in your guild may be able to use it, displaying it in the guild warehouse will inspire people.”

“You really think I wouldn’t dare keep it?” Edward put the Star Bow directly into his backpack.

Li Yao just laughed and silently continued to follow the Goblin, hands behind his back.

After walking a bit, seeing that Li Yao wasn’t in a hurry, Edward reached into his backpack to take out the bow to return it to Li Yao, but his expression suddenly changed – the Star Bow had disappeared.

“This, this… If I said the Star Bow vanished, would you believe me?”

Li Yao nodded, “I would.”

“It’s fishy, so fishy. I get it now; the Star Bow is still in your hands, isn’t it?” Edward guessed after a moment’s thought.

“Smart,” said Li Yao, and with a flash of light in his hand, the Star Bow reappeared.

“No wonder you’re so eager to tell others about the properties of the Star Bow without fearing someone would kill you for it. That’s quite the strategy. It’s my first time seeing a regular piece of equipment bound like this,” Edward said with a face full of envy. “And it can grow, too. When will I be able to get a Magic Wand like this?”

Li Yao thought for a moment before answering, “There’ll be a chance. But as far as I can estimate, you’ll need top-tier quests for such top-tier weapons. And for you, the president of the number one guild in Europe and America, with so many people doing your bidding, I’m sure it won’t be a problem.”

Li Yao spoke the truth; in his previous life, Edward got his hands on an incredibly powerful dark gold Magic Wand and later even acquired a Divine Artifact Wand. That wand played an invaluable role in her Divine Enthronement.

“How did you come by this weapon, if you don’t mind sharing?” Edward asked after some thought.

“There’s nothing secret about it. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t have been able to acquire such an extraordinary weapon. It was due to the Queen’s favor, and thanks to my attending the Dark Camp’s meeting, I got on good terms with Countess. This bow has been passed down in her family, and since no one could use it, she let me try it out. Now it’s temporarily mine, and I’ve come here, unable to leave ever since,” Li Yao explained briefly.

“Thank you,” Edward frowned, a myriad of thoughts crossing her mind.

Why she had come here was less of a concern than the possibility of gaining approval from NPCs to obtain benefits like those Li Yao had. She had received special equipment after acquiring the Ros Spider, and visiting the Fallen Elves’ land might not be without further intentions.

Edward stopped whispering to Li Yao, and all three continued in silence.

They soon reached a luxurious room on the edge of the arena. When Li Yao saw an elegant Fallen Elf sipping wine by the fireplace, his expression altered, “It’s you.”

“Surprised?” the female Elf waved elegantly, and the Goblin immediately left the room. What surprised them even more was that the three guys Li Yao had killed were standing alive and well not far behind the female Elf.

Li Yao took a deep breath, his thoughts racing. He had thought he could extricate himself, but now it seemed less certain.

“You truly are mysterious,” Li Yao steadied his heart and said.

The female Elf smiled, “Oh, then take a guess; who do you think I am?”

“If my guess is correct, you could be a divine projection of the Ros Spider Mother,” Li Yao replied confidently.

“On what basis?” The female Elf neither denied nor confirmed.

Li Yao listed his reasons: “Firstly, all your actions are in the name of the High Priest, but I’ve seen the High Priest of the Black Pearl, and it’s not you. Using the High Priest’s name so unabashedly implies it’s someone the gods their faith in, and I can think of no other. Secondly, I truly did kill those three, and while it’s not strange for a recruit to be resurrected, two of them gradually grew in strength. Reviving them wouldn’t be easy, at least not for mere mortals. And thirdly, my divine eyes can gaze upon the Moon Sacred Place and delve into the Abyss’s God Nests. Yesterday, without using my divine eyes, I couldn’t see you, but when I activated them, your presence was apparent. One reason alone may seem far-fetched, but all three combined make me certain.”

“Well done, you’re quite exceptional, both in initiative and wisdom.” The Ros projection examined Li Yao before continuing, “Your presence here is a surprise to me. Though you haven’t uttered it, I know your purpose for coming here. However, I’m not concerned. You can tell the Little Elves everything you know. I doubt they’d dare to wage war against me.”

“That’s not for me to say. Nowadays, the leaders of the factions are all very tough. It’s not that they’re afraid to fight you, but rather that the terrain here is too advantageous for your position,” Li Yao said truthfully.

The Ros projection ignored Li Yao’s reply and went on, “Initially, I wanted this young lady to lead the mission, as a test of the strengths of others. But now, you’ve taken her place and become the leader of this mission.”

Li Yao chuckled helplessly, “I haven’t agreed to help you complete the mission yet.”

“You’ll agree, won’t you?” The Ros Spider Mother looked at Li Yao intently.

“Alright, I concede,” Li Yao had no choice but agree. Although he had killed a god’s projection before, facing the projection of the Ros Spider Mother left him utterly unconfident. This was a primary deity, not to be conflated with lesser demigods or the typical godly projections.

“Don’t feel discouraged. As far as I know, the target of this mission is one of the Ancient God’s Remnants.”

Li Yao’s eyes immediately lit up. The inability to assemble the Touch of Darkness had always been a regret for him. If he could acquire another piece, its powers would grow even more formidable. And he could trust this information. Even as a chaotic and evil deity, Ros Spider Mother had no need to lie to them.

“I’ve chosen you to help me hunt a target. If you complete the mission, you will receive significant benefits, perhaps a position as at least a senior servant in the temple.”

The Ros Spider Mother’s words made the eyes of everyone besides Li Yao and Vivian shine. A senior servant ranked in the temple’s middle management, which brought various conveniences and benefits.

Li Yao, indifferent to the position of a servant, asked, “Who exactly is the target?”

He knew the Ros Spider Mother’s target would definitely be another god; he just wanted to confirm it to make appropriate arrangements and preparations.

“You’ve probably also heard of the treacherous Lion-Scorpion, right? This little wretch managed to recover from her wounds enough to release a projection. And building a city in the underworld to openly contend for my believers is crossing a line. So your target is her.”…
