Chapter 231: The Secret of the Newbie Village and the Three Avatars of a Godlike Power
Chapter 231: The Secret of the Newbie Village and the Three Avatars of a Godlike Power
After completing the 50th ring of the main quest, the village chief led Su Yu back to his house.
In a dusty storage room, the village chief rummaged through a pile of old boxes and emerged with a purple-glowing rod in his hand, his face covered in dirt.
"Cough, cough, here's your reward, Su Yu! Thank you for your contributions to Nolan Village. You helped us successfully fend off the beast tide without any villagers being harmed!"
With a smile, the village chief handed the rod to Su Yu.
"System notification: Main quest [Glory of the Golden Rose Empire (50/100)] completed."
"Reward: [Useless Rod (Epic)] x1, Psychic Coins x1000."
"System notification: Detected [Tear of the Goddess], [Useless Rod], and [Amplification Codex] in your inventory. Do you wish to combine these three items into [Archangel's Staff]?"
"Confirm"
"Cancel"
Without hesitation, Su Yu chose "Confirm."
Upon selection, the [Useless Rod] transformed into a beam of light and soared into the air.
The [Amplification Codex], a reward from the 45th ring of the Princess Line, and the [Tear of the Goddess], which Su Yu was wearing, also transformed into beams of light and joined the [Useless Rod] in the air.
The three beams of light converged, forming a blue-glowing magic staff in mid-air.
"System notification: Congratulations, you have obtained the legendary item [Archangel's Staff]!"
"System notification: Detected that the [Archangel's Staff] has reached its maximum mana capacity. [Archangel's Staff] has evolved into [Seraphim's Embrace]!"
As the system announced, the [Archangel's Staff] erupted in a brilliant light, reformed, and evolved into a more radiant, blue-glowing staff.
The staff descended from the sky and landed in Su Yu's hand.
Su Yu quickly checked the staff's attributes.
[Seraphim's Embrace (Legendary)]
Accessory, Weapon
Spell Power +100
Mana Capacity +1000
Trait 1: Provides an additional 5% spell power based on extra mana.
Trait 2: Increases your maximum mana by 10%.
Trait 3: Creates a shield that absorbs damage equal to 20% of your maximum mana. Instant, 120-second cooldown.
Trait 4: Can be equipped in the [Weapon] slot or the [Accessory] slot.
Note: Once, a restaurant owner named his grilled chicken wings 'Seraphim's Wings.' Is [Seraphim's Embrace] something similar?
Su Yu was very satisfied with the attributes of [Seraphim's Embrace].
This equipment could be considered the pinnacle of first-tier gear, significantly boosting his spell power and mana capacity, and even providing an instant shield skill.
The attribute bonuses of [Seraphim's Embrace] were on par with third-tier equipment at level 50, ensuring that Su Yu wouldn't need to replace it for a while.
At that moment, another system announcement came through.
"System notification: The second phase of the main quest [Glory of the Golden Rose Empire] has been completed. The next phase will begin on July 1st. Please stay tuned."
Su Yu had left his territory on June 20th, and today was June 26th. He had spent 6.5 days completing the second phase of the Princess Line, leaving him only 4.5 days to complete the Tina Line.
However, the Tina Line's plot was more compact than the Princess Line, so Su Yu wasn't too worried about the time constraint.
Satisfied, Su Yu placed [Seraphim's Embrace] in the [Accessory] slot and turned to the village chief. "Village Chief, are you willing to come out of retirement to deal with the rebels?"
The village chief didn't answer but instead turned his head to stare intently out the window.
Su Yu sensed the village chief's hesitation and took out a strategic map from his backpack. He spread it out and used magic to fix it to the wall of the village chief's house.
"Look, I've already planned everything out for you."
Once the princess's forces reach Oran City, the rebel army will surely take advantage of our unsteady footing to launch an attack. At that time, in the Red Spine Mountains, we can surround and attack the high-ranking rebels from both sides."
Su Yu pointed to the location of Oran City and the Red Spine Mountains on the map, speaking with confidence.
"Su Yu, you've got one thing wrong," the village elder interrupted, "My promise to you was, 'If you pass my test, I'll consider coming out of retirement to assist the princess.' I never said I would definitely come out of retirement. I just said I would consider it. Give me some more time to think about it, and I'll give you my answer."
The elder began to hedge his words.
Su Yu crossed his arms, his gaze intense as he stared at the elder. "Aren't you afraid Tina will die on the battlefield? I spoke with Tina's father, and he told me that Tina is the only descendant of Lady Bernina Tides who can awaken her bloodline. If Lady Bernina Tides were to know, she would be deeply disappointed in all of you, her avatars!"
Hearing the name "Bernina Tides" and Su Yu's words, the elder's mouth dropped open, and his body began to tremble violently.
"H-How do you know?" The elder's voice was filled with trembling and disbelief.
Based on the information Su Yu had gathered over the past few days, the story began over a thousand years ago:
A millennium ago, three god-tier powerhouses emerged in the human world: Kevin Glaston, Bard, and Bernina Tides.
Kevin Glaston, leveraging his family's influence, founded the Glaston Empire.
Bard's various tribes united to form the Windchime Empire on another continent.
Bernina Tides, however, remained a free spirit, neither joining nor forming any faction.
A century ago, Bernina Tides fell.
Her fall was not due to an enemy attack but a choice she made of her own volition.
The reason for her decision remains a mystery.
After her fall, Bernina's body transformed into a small world. Her descendants established a village at the center of this world, naming it Clearwind Village, which is the origin of the New Player Village 1.
The other hundreds of new player villages, including the 6th New Player Village "Nolan Village" where Su Yu was, were actually projections of Clearwind Village in various independent planes. Only Clearwind Village was real.
For nearly a century after Bernina's fall, her descendants lived in Clearwind Village.
To protect her descendants, Bernina retained three of her seventh-tier avatars, preventing them from falling with her.
These avatars were the village elder, the widow Jenny, and Annie's adoptive father, the woodcutter Belu. They played a constant game of cosplay, completely hiding their true power and living almost like ordinary people.
It's worth noting that these three avatars were also embroiled in a love triangle.
...
Bernina's descendants generally possessed high potential, and many of them became high-ranking powerhouses through cultivation. The village also had a teleportation array connected to the outside world.
External factions didn't know the village was left by Bernina; they only knew it produced talented individuals.
Over the next century, various small and medium-sized factions, such as the Scholar's Temple, the Warrior's Guild, and the Mage's Guild, began to settle in Clearwind Village.
With their arrival, a large number of outsiders also migrated into the village. The royal family even sent Baron Wilson to manage taxation.
The village elder paid no attention to these outsiders, as long as they didn't harm Bernina's descendants.
Thus, Clearwind Village gradually transformed into its current state.
As for the "Best Sword in the Village," it was one of the few law weapons left by Bernina.
The elder only gave Su Yu ten uses of the weapon, which had to be returned after use.
However, Su Yu was very frugal with its use, having only used it three times so far, so the law weapon remained in Su Yu's possession.
