Mr. Yin interrogated Drake, but he said that only planar pirates would sell the Spell Stealer.
In the end, the Pulsating Core players decided to join the planar pirates, a flexible and unrestricted faction.
The Pantheon Alliance could not save the Spell Stealer, and the Breeders could not kill the Spell Stealer. Therefore, the gray area planar pirates were the best choice for many players.
"Guild Master, are you not joining?"
Fluffy Rabbit clicked on the Planar Pirate emblem and found a small Planar Pirate emblem next to her ID. She could choose to hide this emblem.
She looked around at the Pulsating Core players, and only Mo Shigui did not have the emblem on his head.
"I was just thinking about something."
"What is it?"
Mr. Yin and Swirling Remnant Cloud had completed the Battle of Divinity challenge, so they could also participate in the Blacktide Island main storyline.
"…" Mo Shigui fell into a short silence at Mr. Yin's question, because he knew that what he was going to say next might cause all the Pulsating Core members to … riot.
But under the watchful eyes of the guild members, Mo Shigui still explained the mechanism that all players would know.
"Choosing the Blacktide Island faction is equivalent to participating in the game's new main storyline mission, which means … from the moment you join the faction, your game's plot will be pushed forward, and trouble and disaster will come. Do you need me to elaborate?" Mo Shigui deliberately did not mention Freya's name.
From the perspective of the players, as long as they never left the beginner's village, the disaster that destroyed the world would not come, because the main storyline mission would not be automatically pushed forward.
This point was also applicable from the Battle of Divinity to the main storyline of Brandt Island. As long as the players did not fight in the Battle of Divinity, Freya would not be hunted down by the church and end up on Brandt Island.
And now … Mo Shigui was thinking that if they did not push forward the main storyline of Blacktide Island, would Freya not have to face the pain of being burned by the power of the God Eater?
"Guild Master, why didn't you say so earlier!"
‘？？？？？’
"Hey!
Captain, is it too late to leave the faction? "
"Should we complain to the official website?
I think farming on Brandt Island is good. "
Mo Shigui's words were akin to throwing a quantum bomb into a lake. Not only the players who were moving the nucleus, but the other players at the starting settlement also seemed to have realized this.
As long as I didn't push forward with the main storyline, the Annihilation Army wouldn't descend, and Freya wouldn't be injured. She would be able to obediently farm on Brandt Island!
That was the mindset of a normal player.
"Coach Song, what are you going to do?
Why don't you give me the commanding position and Coach Song can stay on Brandt Island and enjoy your old age with Freya? "
Of course, Mr. Yin had also considered this point, but in his opinion, stopping the progress of the game and giving up on exploring new maps for the sake of Freya was a little stupid.
For an old online gamer like Mo Shigui, an old fox who had experienced all kinds of deceptive game planning and versions … to hesitate on exploring a new map because of an NPC, from this point, the character of Freya was already very successful.
The most fatal thing was that this character wasn't created by some official or lousy game planning team, but a character created by the players themselves. Every player's Freya belonged only to the player.
You're dreaming!
This was what Mo Shigui was thinking when he heard Mr. Yin's words, but he didn't reply.
"Do you think it's possible for Freya to go to reality?" Mr. Yin suddenly asked Mo Shigui a very scary question.
"What do you mean?"
"I said that the Holy Spirit game is very ambitious. The Inner World's financial system and coordinate system are already connected to reality. You can see Freya in the Holy Spirit, touch Freya, and smell her scent. In the future, the Inner World will open up more areas. You can see her in reality through the AR glasses and even communicate with her. Do you still see her as an NPC character?" Mr. Yin continued when he saw the confused and hesitant expression on Mo Shigui's face.
"Even if you give up on the Holy Spirit game in three, five, or even ten years, your Freya will still be by your side, and she's learning to have her own thoughts … Although it's a little scary, I strongly suspect that Freya's AI has already learned to have her own feelings and memories. Coach Song, she's a real person living in the Holy Spirit. Every day you go offline, her time won't stop flowing. She'll still be waiting for you to go back and visit her," Mr. Yin continued.
"I know all this. I don't need you to tell me."
"But she's locked in a small tree hole. Maybe it's the limitations of the game itself, or maybe she's really troubled by some Divine Fragment. But now, the opportunity to let Freya out of the tree hole and live in your house is right in front of you, isn't it?"
At this point, Mr. Yin muttered to himself in a very small voice … "Actually … it's not bad to raise her as a daughter."
This sentence was obviously meant for Mo Shigui to hear, but he couldn't let Mo Shigui know that it was directed at him. Mo Shigui's mind was about to explode from Mr. Yin's words.
"I've joined the camp. You guys stop arguing!
Whoever has the highest eloquence and charm, see if you can get more information from this pirate NPC!
Intel on the new map and the distribution of the Spell Stealers' camp. Try to complete the new main mission as soon as possible. "
After playing online games for so many years, Mo Shigui had never stopped exploring because of that NPC. The reason he hesitated was because he noticed that the Holy Spirit game was slightly different from other online games.
But as a player, the only thing he could do was explore again and again!
They had to kill all the Bosses in the new map, then forge the strongest equipment they could find.
What Mo Shigui could do now was to complete the main mission on the Black Tide Island as soon as possible!
…
Eight o 'clock in the evening was the time when all the NPCs got off work, including the two new dimensional pirates, Drake and his mother.
Their resting place was located in the original ruins of the Spell Stealers.
"Recruiting a hundred and three Holy Spirits. Affiliated guilds are the Dreamy Marriage Rush Committee, Grey Eye Association, and the Nameless …" His mother reported to Jiang Qiao mechanically the results of the day.
"What about you?" Jiang Qiao looked at Drake who was peeling a pear.
"I choose to keep this a secret?
Agent … the enemy is eavesdropping on me … I can't tell the enemy how many forces I have under my command. Even if you don't need me to tell you, you should know how many Holy Spirits I have recruited. "
As Drake spoke, he glanced at the silent God of War, Uld, at the side.
Drake was very happy today. He heard that the Spring Nucleus was one of the strongest guilds among the Holy Spirits, and just like that, he recruited all the members of the Spring Nucleus into his pirate camp.
Other than that, the Abyssal Temple had also joined the dimensional pirates' camp. Remnant Heart and Mo Shigui had been fighting each other for so long in the game, so Remnant Heart probably felt that joining the same camp and competing with the Spring Nucleus was more exciting.
"Agent, when do the Holy Spirits plan to go to the Black Tide Island?
The Spell Stealers are too aggressive. "
Of course, Ulder chose to keep it a secret. He was more concerned about when Jiang Qiao would send the Holy Spirits to the Black Tide Island.
The Black Tide Island was now very close to their world … and this world was also very close to the Cerulean Planet.
After the Black Tide Island devoured this world, their next target would probably be the Cerulean Planet.
"That depends on when the pirates finish revamping their city." Jiang Qiao was still writing the main quests of the four camps on the Black Tide Island.
During the day when Drake and the Spring Nucleus exchanged information about the situation on the Black Tide Island, he had also revealed the general situation of the Black Tide Island to Jiang Qiao.
Although the island was a complete plane, its area was only 1.5 times larger than the Brandt Island.
The layout of the Black Tide Island was exactly the same as the Brandt Island. The Spell Stealers, as the most powerful force on the island, occupied the center of the Black Tide Island, while the other camps each occupied a corner of the island.
At this stage, the Spell Stealers had joined forces with the power of the Abyss … The crystal curse spread by the Spell Stealers was already a headache for all the camps, and with the addition of the Abyss curse, the battle on the island had become one-sided.
The Spell Stealers focused their attacks on the Annihilation Legion and the Pantheon Alliance. The dimensional pirates, on the other hand, had a leisurely life. They would often go to the battlefield of both sides as cleaners and loot some valuables.
"Looks like we'll have to spend some time."
That was why when Drake heard War God Uld's anxious words, he appeared to be at ease.
The Pantheon Alliance being heavily damaged was definitely something they would love to see.
However, just as Drake was casually toying with the dagger and pear in his hand, his dagger suddenly fell to the ground.
A scalding mark appeared on his palm.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Qiao did not want the leader of the camp to die before the version started.
"Blood Mark for Help … This is the method I used to unite those treacherous bastards."
Drake suppressed the burning pain in his palm. "The leader of the Withered Teeth Pirates, one of the three major pirate groups on the Black Tide Island, is involved in a desperate situation … She … needs help."
"She?" Jiang Qiao could hear the difference between a man and a woman from the pirate's words.
"Yes, she … I remember that you Sacred Spirits like female … characters, right?
The Pantheon Alliance attracted a lot of attention because of a woman, and I'm just a sloppy old man. The Sacred Spirits are also very concerned about a woman called Freya. Although I don't know who she is, our pirate group also has beautiful women, but I don't dare to tell that guy. "
Drake said as he clenched the mark in his hand that continued to burn with pain.
"Agent!
The renovation of our city has been completed by noon, and no one dares to disobey my orders. The shops that you call unharmonious no longer exist! "
Drake angrily slammed his fist on the round table. The pain from the mark on his palm was making him very unhappy.
"Tell your Holy Spirit to save that guy!
This is my request! "
