Chapter 88: The Chaos Message Brought by the Wisdom Tree
Chapter 88: The Chaos Message Brought by the Wisdom Tree
After returning to his territory, Qin Muye started a new research project.
Of course, it wasn't about the dragon corpse, but rather the harpy hero, Eks. The value from the cave-dwelling creature had already been mostly extracted. Putting it back on the operating table now would be more of a torture than a dissection.
Qin Muye didn't have the patience for such things.
He was more curious about the harpy. The dragon corpse could wait; after all, it wasn't going anywhere. It was already dead, so a little more time wouldn't make much difference.
However, if the harpy were to die, its value would significantly decrease.
As for the crimson flames, he didn't dare to approach them without Tianqi by his side. Life is precious, and one must be cautious. A weakling like him needed to bring a bodyguard for such a dangerous place.
Currently, the bodyguard was out leveling up, so he could only wait for their return.
Actually, he could choose not to study the harpy and focus on the floating city instead. However, that would only be meaningful after he either solved or confirmed that he couldn't solve the Red Wind Disaster. If he couldn't solve it, he would have to flee, and the territory would need to be transformed into a floating city.
If he could solve it, then there would be no need to worry.
The advancement of the goblins could be put on hold; the 4th-tier units were mostly fine.
The birth of champion units and hero units had become a routine process since the magic pool appeared. Without Qin Muye's intervention, a champion goblin would be born from a regular goblin every 10 days or so.
After that, the steward goblins would handle their advancement and deployment according to Black Hand's arrangements, leaving Qin Muye with no need to worry about it.
"Master, a Wisdom Tree has appeared nearby," a steward goblin rushed over to report.
"???" Qin Muye was puzzled. Why would a Wisdom Tree appear now?
"What's the situation? Explain in detail," Qin Muye asked without immediately moving.
"About ten minutes ago, about three kilometers from the territory, its projection started to form. A goblin went to investigate, and the Wisdom Tree claimed to have met you before," the steward goblin briefly described the events.
This made Qin Muye frown. What did the other party want?
"Have the Evangelist Goblins accompany me to see what's going on with the Wisdom Tree," Qin Muye thought for a moment and decided to go check it out.
There was no such thing as a free lunch; the Wisdom Tree must have a reason for coming to him.
Qin Muye remembered the Wisdom Tree, who could be considered a benefactor, though their intentions might not be entirely pure.
"Wait, no need for the Evangelist Goblins. Just have the Magic Goblins follow me," Qin Muye suddenly thought that the Evangelist Goblins contained the power of an ancient god, which might be detected by the Wisdom Tree.
In this world, ancient gods were deeply feared. If the Wisdom Tree were to discover anything, it could be catastrophic for Qin Muye. He wasn't a true dragon emperor capable of standing up to a deity.
"Yes, Master," the steward goblin quickly went to make the arrangements.
Soon, Qin Muye set out with a thousand Magic Goblins. Although it was only about three kilometers, the grand procession was more than the Wisdom Tree had expected.
[You have visited the Wisdom Tree]
"Long time no see, little mage," the Wisdom Tree greeted him with a kind smile.
"Indeed, it has been a long time, Wise One. I never expected you to risk coming to the Red Wind Plains to see me; it’s truly an honor," Qin Muye replied politely, though he didn't mention the Wisdom Tree's kind and benevolent appearance.
"However, I wonder what brings you here, Wise One? My humble abode seems too small to accommodate you."
Qin Muye started by probing for information. He was well aware that the Wisdom Tree must have an ulterior motive for visiting; otherwise, it wouldn't have come to such a dangerous place.
"You’re quite the joker, young mage. I was just passing by and thought I’d visit an old friend," the Wisdom Tree's tone carried a hint of nostalgia, as if it were genuinely so.
But Qin Muye didn't believe a word of it.
"That’s wonderful. However, I have many affairs to attend to in my territory and can’t stay long. I’ll take my leave after this." Qin Muye bowed and was about to lead his people away.
The Wisdom Tree was trying to play it smooth, but Qin Muye didn't have the time to waste. If it were Black Hand, he might have engaged in small talk, but not Qin Muye. He considered it a significant courtesy to speak to the Wisdom Tree civilly.
"Ha ha, since you’re so busy, I’ll get straight to the point. You must know about Moriel drinking the dragon’s blood and transforming into a dragon, right?" The Wisdom Tree, not a fool, saw through Qin Muye’s impatience and knew it was time to cut to the chase.
"I know, but I’m not involved, and it’s not something I can interfere with," Qin Muye said expressionlessly, unimpressed by the Wisdom Tree’s attempt to stir up trouble.
"Actually, I’m here to give you a heads-up. This matter is coming to an end. Moriel is preparing to marry the self-proclaimed True Dragon Emperor, the Tianci Lord."
This was indeed a clever move. The dragon race dared to act against Moriel because she was weak, but they would never dare to touch the True Dragon Emperor.
Thus, the event was indeed coming to an end. Qin Muye glanced at the leaderboard; the True Dragon Emperor had reaped great rewards, ranking first and receiving a dragon hero unit, whose class was undoubtedly exceptional.
"Um, I understand. Is there anything else?" Qin Muye wasn’t envious or resentful. If the True Dragon Emperor had the strength, he would have done the same.
"Seems you still don’t grasp the severity of the situation. On our continent, the power of a deity is equivalent to a 6th-tier Lord, while the 7th tier is the limit of the Magic Continent."
"To reach the 7th tier, one must either rule the entire continent or leave it. Which do you think the True Dragon Emperor will choose?"
The Wisdom Tree seemed to be stating facts, but it was actually trying to provoke Qin Muye.
However, Qin Muye’s focus was on a different point: "So, the last conflict with the deities, the deities actually lost?"
"Correct, the deities lost. Otherwise, the True Dragon Emperor would have been dead long ago," the Wisdom Tree didn’t hide the truth.
"Ever since the adaptation period ended, you’ve been nearly killed by the True Dragon Emperor and the Necromancer Lord. I thought as much."
The Wisdom Tree was somewhat speechless at Qin Muye’s focus. They should be discussing the possibility of Qin Muye being killed by the True Dragon Emperor, not the fact that they were nearly killed.
