Chapter 527: Exploring the Remains of the 'Thirteen Heroes'
Chapter 527: Exploring the Remains of the 'Thirteen Heroes'
When collaborating with other Workers, if the treasures within the ruins are extraordinary, there's always the risk of them being tempted by greed and resorting to desperate measures.
However, the reputation of the 'Far East Duo' speaks for itself, proving that they are not without principles. Working with such individuals can provide greater peace of mind.
More importantly, the strength of the Night City duo is also a significant factor.
Exploring ruins is inherently risky, and with these ruins being connected to the 'Thirteen Heroes', the unknown dangers are even more pronounced. Naturally, the stronger and more reliable the partners, the better.
"No objections. Compared to other Workers, 'Jing Jie' is undoubtedly superior."
"I have no objections either. In fact, I've long admired the Far East Duo from afar."
With Imena and Roba in agreement, Alshe also had no objections.
Night City and Nabeh also resided at the Song Apple Pavilion, but they had left early in the morning to complete a Quest. It wasn't until evening that Hawkland and the others finally met the duo.
Due to their previous acquaintance and shared residence at the Song Apple Pavilion, Night City and the 'Four Sages' had a relatively amicable relationship.
"In other words, you want to invite us to explore the remains of the Thirteen Heroes?"
Hawkland, sitting before Night City, didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
The 'Thirteen Heroes', a heroic team that emerged 200 years ago in this world, had left behind numerous legendary tales. However, as a traverser, Night City knew that the 'Thirteen Heroes' were actually players from YGGDRASIL.
The 'Thirteen Heroes' were not all pure human races; many members were sub-species, and some joined the team later.
In simpler terms, not all members of the 'Thirteen Heroes' were YGGDRASIL players; some were natives of this world.
The leader of the 'Thirteen Heroes' was a person named Rick, who was initially the weakest among them. However, his growth with his initial companions was astonishing, eventually leading to their ability to slay a dragon.
Night City could understand the rapid growth, as the players among the 'Thirteen Heroes' might not have started at a high level when they first arrived in this world.
YGGDRASIL players had an advantage over the natives in that they could level up quickly, without the limitations of bottlenecks or innate talent.
The final legend of the 'Thirteen Heroes' in this world was their last battle—the slaying of the Divine Dragon.
After that battle, the 'Thirteen Heroes' disappeared without a trace. As a fellow YGGDRASIL player, Night City was indeed intrigued by the remains they left behind.
At this moment, facing Hawkland's invitation, Night City was quite tempted.
"We'll split the findings from the ruins evenly. Even if we come back empty-handed, you'll still receive 200 gold coins as the Quest reward. What do you think?"
The previous merchant's Quest reward was only 400 gold coins. If the 'Four Sages' completed this Quest alone, each of them would earn 100 gold coins.
But now that they had decided to collaborate, they would need to split half of the reward to compensate Night City and his team.
"I'd like to discuss this with Nabeh first. Can I give you an answer tomorrow?"
"Exploring ruins is risky, and Night City needs to discuss it. Herklon also expressed his understanding: 'No problem, we will also make the necessary preparations for exploration tomorrow, but please decide as soon as possible.
The client's daughter is in a dire situation, and he doesn't want us to delay for too long.'"
Back in the room, Night City contacted the Squirrel first. Upon learning that Night City was going to explore the ruins of the 'Thirteen Heroes' and that the other party might also be a player from YGGDRASIL, Squirrel couldn't contain his excitement.
Ever since going to Yelantir, Squirrel had been trying to gather information about YGGDRASIL players, but to no avail. He never expected Night City to have such a significant breakthrough.
"Do you need backup? If so, I can send Satiya or Mare with a 'World-Class' artifact to support you.
Unfortunately, I just took on an escort quest, and the client is a rather valuable human. Otherwise, I would have gone myself."
Squirrel was also quite interested in the ruins of the 'Thirteen Heroes', and as Night City was his only companion now, he was genuinely concerned for his safety.
"No need for now. I have quite a few 'World-Class' artifacts with me, and if even I encounter danger, there's no point in calling Satiya and Yalbert.
If anything happens later, I'll contact you again."
On the other side, Squirrel, who had just communicated with Night City, looked at the 'Mithril Rank' Adventurers of 'Black Sword', a team of several people, and asked: "Have you heard of the 'Thirteen Heroes'?"
Squirrel's current quest was to escort a team of 'Mithril Rank' Adventurers called 'Black Sword' and a pharmacist named Enfelia to Kahn Village.
According to Night City, the 'Thirteen Heroes' seemed to have been active in the northwestern part of the continent, specifically in the Riyeshtij Kingdom, so Squirrel wondered if he could help Night City gather some intelligence.
"Mr. Momo, you don't know about the 'Thirteen Heroes'?"
Upon hearing Squirrel's inquiry about their knowledge of the 'Thirteen Heroes', it was the Black Sword team who were surprised.
Even Enfelia, a non-adventurer, had heard of the legendary tales of the 'Thirteen Heroes', yet Momo was unaware of them.
"Well, Mr. Momo must have come from a distant place, so it's normal to not know about the 'Thirteen Heroes'.
Speaking of which, the formation of our Adventurer team is also somewhat related to the 'Thirteen Heroes'."
As the team leader, Peter, finished speaking, the rest of the Black Sword team revealed smiles and then took out the black daggers they carried with them.
"Among the 'Thirteen Heroes', there was a Black Knight who possessed four powerful magic swords. When we founded our team, we dreamed of finding these four magic swords, so we named ourselves 'Black Sword'."
Squirrel showed no interest in the aspirations and dreams of the team before him. What he wanted to know now was more intelligence about the 'Thirteen Heroes', so he continued to ask: "Just how powerful were the legendary 'Thirteen Heroes'?"
Yes, what Squirrel cared about was how powerful the 'Thirteen Heroes' were.
Squirrel had already planned in his mind that if the so-called 'Thirteen Heroes' were also max-level characters like them, he must contact Night City immediately and advise caution.
Ruins exploration can be slow, but as an important companion, Squirrel didn't want any mishaps to happen to Night City!
