The matter of the Black Phoenix could only wait until he returned from the Kingdom of Desolation. Now that he had someone to take care of, he could not risk going to the Angel tribe.
After he returned from the Kingdom of Desolation, things would go well, and he would know some ways to deal with the Angel tribe. It would be much easier to save the Black Phoenix then.
The Black Phoenix would not be of any use in the near future, so it would be better to let it rest in the Angel tribe.
Chen Mo confirmed his coordinates and found that this river was actually in Huaisha Kingdom. He could reach the Yellow Sand City by following the river.
Huaisha Kingdom was much larger than the Gray Wing Kingdom and the Aiqin Kingdom combined. There were more than ten cities of different sizes in Huaisha Kingdom, and the Yellow Sand City was one of them.
According to the description of the two Celestial Tribe members who came to Katarina, the Yellow Sand City was a relatively small city in Huaisha Kingdom.
It did not matter to Chen Mo whether it was small or big. As long as he reached the Yellow Sand City and found an NPC contact named Morus, he would be able to get the token he needed to go to the Kingdom of Desolation.
Following the river, Chen Mo saw a large river in just two hours. In Huaisha Kingdom, it gradually diverted into a small stream in the Gobi Desert.
Looking around, Chen Mo knew that he had truly entered Huaisha Kingdom.
Huaisha Kingdom was like its name, with many desert environments. Chen Mo was now in an open Gobi Desert.
Chen Mo confirmed his coordinates again and moved toward the Yellow Sand City at full speed.
Affected by the power of the Angel and Demon, the monsters in Huaisha Kingdom had also mutated.
However, unlike the Gray Wing Kingdom and the Aiqin Kingdom, the monsters in Huaisha Kingdom were very sparse due to the open terrain. Most of the time, there were only a few monsters along the road.
Because of this, players would not come to Huaisha Kingdom before the Gray Wing Kingdom, the Aiqin Kingdom, and the Biden Kingdom were full of leveling spots.
Chen Mo moved around Huaisha Kingdom and rarely saw players.
"I'm finally here."
The Gobi Desert turned into a desert. Chen Mo saw Yellow Sand City in a desert filled with yellow sand.
The Yellow Sand City wasn't very big, and it was only slightly bigger than the initial Main City. Of course, there were NPCs standing guard at the entrance of the city.
After the experience of being chased by NPCs in the Biden Kingdom, Chen Mo did not want to experience it again in Huaisha.
Without going through the main gate, Chen Mo stood beside the city wall. After estimating that there were no buildings inside, he put on the Dazzling Gold Necklace and teleported directly into Yellow Sand City.
Sneaking into the city like this, as long as he didn't commit any crimes, he was no different from a normal player.
Not many players had come to Huaisha, but there were still some players in Yellow Sand City.
After all, in this area, there was no need to compete with others for a leveling spot. The players in the nearby area would naturally choose this place.
Yellow Sand City was bustling with people. Chen Mo walked around the city to familiarize himself with the terrain and waited for the time to come.
Soon, it was 12 o 'clock at night. Chen Mo entered an underground tavern in Yellow Sand City.
In the game, the sky turned dark at 12 o 'clock at night. The underground tavern would only open for business at this time.
According to the Celestial Tribe, Morus would appear at the underground tavern around 1 o 'clock at night. As long as Chen Mo waited in the tavern in advance, he would be able to find Morus.
Chen Mo had been to many places in the game. However, as he did not drink, Chen Mo had never been to an underground tavern.
After entering the underground tavern of Yellow Sand City, Chen Mo saw that there were already a few people inside.
The tavern was not big. The lights were dim, and there were six or seven small wooden round tables scattered around.
These wooden tables had all kinds of marks on them. They were all things that had been there for a long time. However, they were very suitable for an underground tavern like this.
Chen Mo found a wooden table near the corner and sat down. An NPC walked over and handed him a small booklet.
On the booklet was a catalog of the alcohol sold in the tavern. Although Chen Mo did not drink much, it was not that he did not know how to drink. Seeing that there were quite a few interesting drinks, he casually ordered a few glasses and prepared to try them all.
The prices of these drinks were not low, but Chen Mo did not take it to heart. With his current wealth, there were definitely few people in the game who could match him. There was no need to think too much about it.
The drinks were quickly served. Chen Mo was not in a hurry to drink. He only took a few sips. He just held the wine glass and looked at the entrance of the tavern from time to time.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. A young man in gray linen walked into the tavern and sat down at a table next to Chen Mo.
An NPC in the tavern quickly brought him a glass of wine. It seemed that he was a regular here.
"You're Morus?"
Chen Mo had already confirmed Morus' identity. Seeing that there was no one around, he went up to talk to him.
"You are?" Morus looked over with a puzzled expression.
It was no wonder that he was puzzled. He was waiting for the Celestial Race here. Chen Mo was an adventurer, which was beyond his expectations.
"I accepted a mission from the Celestial Race. I want to ask you for the token that the Celestial Race used to contact the Dark Church."
Chen Mo did not beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of his visit.
"What proof do you have?" Morus did not believe Chen Mo and asked with vigilance.
Chen Mo finally knew why the Celestial Race issued an official mission. If it was not an official mission, there was no record of the mission, so he had no way to prove it.
As for the ring that the Celestial Race gave him, Morus did not recognize it at all. Naturally, there was no proof.
Chen Mo directly showed the mission information that the Celestial Race issued to him. Only then did Morus believe Chen Mo.
"Alright, since that's the case, you must have brought the reward that the Celestial Race gave me," Morus said.
"Reward?" Chen Mo was shocked. The Celestial Race did not mention this matter.
"You don't know?
The Celestial Race did not mention the reward to you?
Then I'm sorry, please go back and ask the Celestial Race for my reward first! "
When Morus saw Chen Mo's expression, he immediately knew that something was wrong. He immediately said in a non-negotiable tone.
He did not know how the Celestial Race did things. They did not even mention something as important as the reward to him.
Of course, Chen Mo was unwilling to go back now. It was not easy to come to Huaisha Country. If he went back to Gray Wing Country to look for the Celestial Race, he would be walking into a trap.
Moreover, he did not know where the Celestial Race was hiding now. He wanted to find them, but there was no way to find them.
"What is the reward?" Chen Mo thought and asked.
If it was gold coins, even if it was a few thousand gold coins, he would simply pay it himself. It was impossible to go back to the Celestial Race.
Of course, he would not pay for nothing.
After seeing the Celestial Race of the Dark Church, he would definitely double the reward.
"A bright emerald." Morus did not hide it and said directly.
"How much is it? Can I pay with gold coins?"
It was something that he had never heard of. Even if he wanted to buy it from other players, it was probably impossible. Chen Mo simply asked Morus directly.
"Gold coins?
Gold coins are a good thing, but what I need now is the bright emerald. Otherwise, why do you think I risked my life to go to the Desolation Country to bring back the Celestial Race's token?
In short, the reward must be the bright emerald. There is no need to talk about anything else! "
However, Morus's face turned cold. There was no room for negotiation.
"Then, is there any other place besides the Celestial Race where I can find the bright emerald?"
Chen Mo frowned. Things were not that simple.
"Other places?" Morus thought for a while and said, "Yes, and it is in Yellow Sand City!"
He looked around and quietly whispered into Chen Mo's ear, "In Yellow Sand City, there's a jewelry collector called Cornell. He has a Resplendent Emerald in his possession. If you're really in a hurry to get the token, you can help me. Stealing the Resplendent Emerald from him can also be considered as payment."
"Help you steal the emerald?" Chen Mo was a little surprised.
Under normal circumstances, Morus would tell Kanneke about the emerald in his possession and let Chen Mo find a way to get it. Now, Morus was undoubtedly saying that he would do it, but he needed Chen Mo's help.
"Yes, in fact, I had thought of stealing the bright emerald from Kanneke earlier. For this, I had made a lot of preparations.
However, the place where Kanneke lived was heavily guarded. Even if I could steal the emerald, I would be discovered and I would not be able to escape. That was why I did not do it. "
Morus explained.
…
The second time was even worse.
