Chapter 1076 Ambush from the Gods
Chapter 1076 Ambush from the Gods
Bulwer VII smiled with delight. With his shrewdness, he could tell that the powerful angel had basically agreed to his request, and he couldn't wait to say:
"I swear on the name of the Bulwell family that the Maritime Kingdom of Revendreth will convert from top to bottom to the Church of the Stars and open all its parishes. The kingdom will also donate 350 million Victars to the church as a token of gratitude."
"I also promise that the royal family of Revendreth will devote all their strength to this confrontation. Currently, there is an angel and thirteen official demigods within the royal family, all of whom are at your disposal."
An angel and thirteen official demigods? I hadn't expected the Revendreth royal family to have such impressive credentials! Upon hearing the 350 million Victar reward, Zhou Ning's eyes lit up, and he was shamefully tempted. Furthermore, according to Bulwer VII, his son, Hugo Bulwer, the protagonist of The Prince's Revenge, would also join the Church of the Stars. That would be a win-win situation: not only could they create a dual storyline and reap the million Victar, but they could also kidnap a Plane Child.
And there's a hidden benefit: helping the Kingdom of Revendreth break free from the control of the two major churches is also a chance to leave an immortal legend somewhere, and by the way, you can also fulfill a major wish. What else do you want?
In order to maintain his dignity as the Angel King, Zhou Ning remained calm on the surface. After a silence of more than ten seconds, he nodded.
"I agreed, but not now. It will take time to mobilize manpower."
Bulwer VII said with a smile:
"No problem, I just need a promise from you. As everyone knows, His Majesty Sternwell has a character as pure as mithril."
"I will let my son Hugo participate in the subsequent contact with you. You can contact him if you have any requests."
Isn't this just door-to-door delivery? As long as the operation is successful, this Plane Child can be directly recruited. Zhou Ning thought about it and thought, maybe he still needs a store and a station. However, now is not the time to make such a small request. He nodded slightly without hesitation and chose to accept the task:
"it is good."
At the same time, all the busy Star Church players collectively received a task reminder:
"You have triggered the A-rank faction quest [Request from the Royal Family of Revendreth]!"
"A new A-rank mission?"
Jinse, who was leveling up in the group dungeon, suddenly had an idea and hurriedly opened the task panel to check the tasks.
When Jinse saw the faction mission with as many as fourteen items, she couldn't help but stagger and almost fell over while moving around to attract monsters.
"Damn it! Boss Wayne has caused trouble again. Is he going to go to war with the Parliament of Knowledge and the Church of Poseidon at the same time?"
Several professional players from the Deep Blue Club looked at each other in confusion. Second-Hand Poet, the Deep Blue Club's meteorologist, interrupted and said,
"This faction mission mode is rare. It seems to be a competitive mode. The number of enemies should be limited, and not everyone can complete all the progress. And they also reserve three days for gathering. Short... Jin Shen, are we going to continue leveling or do the mission?"
"You definitely have to do the faction mission!" Jinse glared at him because of the short word "Second-hand Poet", then said without hesitation:
"You can play dungeons anytime, but if you miss an A-level mission, you'll lose it. But I'm not going to log off for the next three days. I'm going to try to max out my skills as soon as possible. Hey, why do you think people need to sleep?"
Everyone:...
This is so damn competitive! Why do you have to play professionally in Deep Blue? If the leading actress is so competitive, how can others have the nerve to rest? Everyone was speechless in response to Jinse's strange question. No wonder she is short and flat-chested. All her energy is transferred to her liver.
After discussing the next arrangements, everyone reached a consensus that there was no need to sleep for a long time when alive, as one would naturally sleep forever after death. They should just endure for the next three days, first level up intensively, and then see if they can update some equipment at Wayne Stewell, so as to get the upper hand in the mission.
……
On the other side, having achieved his goal, Zhou Ning chose to say goodbye and followed Marshall all the way back to the outside of the foggy manor.
At the same time, he once again sensed the faint gaze of the spirit, carrying a malicious intent so intense it was impossible to ignore.
Zhou Ning loosened his fist, then clenched it, refused Marshall's request to send him back in a carriage, went to a secluded corner, used the traveler's power, and disappeared in a flash.
Zhou Ning directly chose to "teleport" to No. 49 Savia Street in the Knowledge District, the door of the house he had just bought.
But the next second, his pupils shrank slightly, and he found that he did not return to No. 49 Savia Street as expected, but appeared at the seaside. There was no one around, only the dark sea water twinkling with stars and the sound of waves echoing far and near.
The scene before him didn't seem to be from the real world, but rather from the endless ocean of the Star Spirit Realm. He seemed to be disturbed by some high-level spatial force and directly teleported to the Star Realm. Zhou Ning sighed as he roughly understood the reason.
The gods have various restrictions when walking on earth, but they do not have such restrictions in the astral and spiritual realms.
At this time, a familiar ship was quietly anchored on the sea, a huge ship that was completely black and 100 meters long.
The flagship of the Northern Pirate Emperor, Weather Lord Valentine, the Poseidon!
Valentine, the three-meter-tall "Lord of Weather" with a dark complexion and a dark figure, whom Zhou Ning had fought several times, stood there, staring at Zhou Ning gloomily.
His eyes were filled with hatred, and then, driven by his breath, a sudden strong wind swept through the area, and then two points of starlight fell from the sky, condensing into two golden figures beside Valentine.
One was a giant with half of his chest exposed, a golden beard, and an extremely tall stature. He held a hammer wrapped with electric snakes in his hand.
This is Marcellus, the god of thunder and lightning. His dream seed had appeared before in the War of Gods, and he was killed instantly by the Sword God. However, as the chief subordinate god under the throne of the righteous god, his strength is naturally not weak.
The other one's appearance was more like that of a northerner, wearing a bright red pirate cannon, with pure golden eyes. Between the two eyes, at the center of the eyebrows, there was an illusory vertical eye with very long eyelashes, and the pupil inside was pure black.
He must be the unknown god whose power is plunder, weather, and marine life.
This... Zhou Ning had actually anticipated this, and had even deliberately intended to trigger the trap. He feared the thief's presence, not the thief's. He could use his trump card when necessary. But he hadn't expected the other party's determination for revenge to be so unwavering, launching a surprise attack directly at him.
The next second, the vertical eye between the eyebrows of the northern god opened silently, and the figure of Zhou Ning wearing a black windbreaker and a white scarf around his neck was instantly reflected in his eyes.
Zhou Ning's body suddenly felt frozen. He instinctively felt filled with fear, despair, and stiffness.
But soon, the "Transcendence"'s immunity to psychic magic and a 75% increase in resistance to all negative effects became apparent. Zhou Ning quickly broke free from the stiffness, stretched out his hand into the void, and grabbed a red and black sickle that shone with brilliance.
This is an opportunity to test my growth during this period.
