“…”
As Anvis listened to the narration of the projection, his heart gradually began to race.
In his perception, the projection almost entirely lacked the aura of magic power, and he did not feel any magic fluctuation when the other party was speaking.
Although unclear how this strange High Elf who called himself Hill knew the thoughts in his mind, there was no doubt that this was a super strong entity.
“You don’t need to be nervous. This is not mind reading, nor is it observing the threads of fate. It is simply an ordinary magic projection with a preset message.”
Seemingly sensing Anvis’s wariness, Hill’s projection paused its speech and provided a simple explanation of its existence.
“Do you comprehend the concept of time? The time of a singular world is akin to a river flowing straight forward, and we, who are in it, are like fish in the river.
Fish cannot see the river for it is their entire world. If a fish wishes to see the whole picture of ‘the world,’ it must leap out of the water by any means necessary.
Very fortunately, at the ultimate moment of my life, I managed to leap out of ‘the water’ and glimpsed into the distant reaches of the river of time. Then, I saw you.”
“… Your Highness, does this mean that there is something you require of me? If it’s something within my power, I will not refuse.”
After listening to Hill’s explanation, Anvis cautiously spoke.
“No, I don’t need you to do anything. The existence of this projection is merely to greet you.”
Hill revealed a strange smile, his mercury-like silvery white eyes narrowing slightly.
“In the distant past, I saw you with my collection of poetry, arriving at this obelisk and meeting my projection—this is what we call a time-space anchor.
The future is always changing, and the purpose of a time-space anchor is to direct the future toward a certain path.”
As Anvis looked like he wanted to ask more, Hill gently raised his hand, indicating him to stop questioning.
“Don’t ask anymore; I cannot reveal any information that might directly affect the future. And here, my time is limited. I believe it is the same for you.
This obelisk was left by me in the state of ‘leaping out of the water,’ containing a trace of the essence transcending that state. It was what attracted the Silver Titan Casenos, but unfortunately, it never managed to take that step.
Now, I bestow it to you. But be cautious, for it seems that they are also targeting this.”
As Hill’s final words fell, the silvery white obelisk that seemed to be made of some metallic material suddenly trembled and instantly dissolved into silver particles, merging into Anvis’s body.
At the same time, in Anvis’s perception, the flow of time in the surrounding environment started moving again.
“What was that!?”
In the perspective of the Last Dragon Descendant and other onlookers, a silver light flashed through the room in an instant, and people like Lanno even deployed their defenses and dodged to the side immediately.
However, the imagined attack never arrived; it seemed to be just an ordinary light.
“Was there something in the house just now?”
“Didn’t see clearly, it seemed there was something silver…”
Not only the explorers but also the live streaming audience could not make out the specifics.
After cautiously inspecting the surroundings and finding nothing, Lanno and the others had no choice but to let the matter go for the time being.
Even if it really was some kind of trap, it wasn’t something they could resolve; they would have to wait until they returned to ask the Ninth Rank powerhouses behind them for a thorough examination.
What they need to do now is to quickly search for spoils and try to use the geographical advantage of this secret realm to defend against enemies’ attacks.
This stone house was, after all, the dwelling place of a legend, not specifically a heritage to be passed down, so there weren’t many items inside.
But likewise, anything that catches the eye of a legend, even furniture, is no ordinary item.
The Titan Clan are the favored children of the earth and thunder. They live in mountains rich with the power of the Earth Element, using terrifying thunderbolts from the sky to temper their bodies.
Compared to the Dwarves, known as the children of the mountain ranges, Titans have a higher affinity with the earth. They innately possess the Perception to sense the earth’s pulse and discover precious minerals buried deep within the strata.
The walls, columns, massive stone bed, and stone tables and chairs in this stone house were originally made from extremely rare and curious mineral materials.
Furthermore, after being suffused with the Strength of the Silver Titan for many years, everything here has become incredibly valuable top-level material. Even just the floor tiles in the room are sufficient to forge Ninth Rank mysterious objects.
The greatest yield of everyone’s journey originated from that sealed stone cabinet.
There were no Defensive Magic attached to the cabinet door; nobody dared to steal from the home of a legendary strongman unless they themselves were another legend—and that is something that even Titan magic couldn’t ward off.
Inside the opened cabinet, neat clusters of mysterious crystals, curious stone specimens, and others were arrayed. They emitted a dazzling and splendid glow, blinding and mesmerizing onlookers.
Star Shining Crystal Hearts, Earth Vein Eyes, Outer Domain Meteor Cores, and even a high-grade abnormal Element attached to a rock. Thanks to the specially made stone cabinet, they were all very well-preserved.
Picking out any one of them at random would be enough to serve as the core material for a Ninth Rank mysterious object.
Even the Last Dragon Descendant and Xia Ye Yinghuo, two players who could not recognize a single item, could see their value—as all these materials, appearing as a series of [???] in the system’s Detect function, were framed in the highest tier of orange outlines!
“Fuck! Am I seeing illusions? How come they all look orange?”
“You didn’t see it wrong, the streamer has really struck gold this time!”
“I’ve been playing the game up until now, and this is the first time I’ve had the fortune to see orange items outside of cosmetic gear, even if it’s just in a live stream.”
“Suddenly, I’ve a delusion that orange items aren’t that rare at all, look at the streamer simply opening a cabinet and it’s full of them [dog head emoji].”
“Guys, does anyone know where the streamer’s Resurrection Point is bound to?”
…
Since the beginning of the Last Dragon Descendant’s live stream, the barrage of comments exploded into its biggest climax!
Up to this point in the game, over ninety-five percent of players had never seen what orange items even looked like. The sight of a screen full of orange items is undoubtedly enough to explode the eyes of all viewers.
Some people were already scheming about how to quickly rush to his doorstep once the Last Dragon Descendant left.
The Last Dragon Descendant was very aware of this, even though he couldn’t see the barrage of comments, he could guess the reaction of the viewers.
Not all players were as used to orange items as the lucky lady by his side. If it weren’t for the lag in the livestream, perhaps the Message Pigeons from his old bosses at the White Light Club would have arrived by now.
Hmm… Perhaps there would be headhunting offers from the other two clubs as well.
“Let me explain, these are all plot-related props, and my Task Reward does not include these. To obtain them, you must defeat all the task NPCs,
but that’s simply impossible, the Mechanical that was thrown to me just to save my life had a combat Level of sixty…”
Not minding the circumstances, the Elf hurriedly whispered an explanation and showed his task panel, causing Lanno and the others to give him a somewhat puzzled look.
“Here, this is your reward.”
Before the Last Dragon Descendant could finish speaking, something heavy suddenly landed in his hand, a gemstone shining like starlight gleaming brilliantly.
“?!”
Seeing Anvis’s smiling face, the Elf’s expression was incredibly vivid.
