Chapter 1926: Chapter 1926: Double Act
The actions of Starfire just now could be described as powerful and overwhelming, with a reaction so swift. It’s not surprising that he has such means, but both the Enchantress and the Fruit Knight have such formidable combat prowess and extraordinary methods, and they strike at just the right time.
In comparison, other players couldn’t even withstand the sound waves, let alone make a move. They also want to earn enough merit, but unfortunately, they can’t take action.
Having endured nearly two months of trials, Starfire can be said to be always ready, able to arrive first when encountering unexpected situations.
Although flying is banned here, the personal Flying Mounts of Starfire’s high-level members are branded in the temple, allowing them to fly smoothly.
There is a prison nearby, and it’s not just for NPCs. If players violate the city’s rules, they too will be captured and brought in.
Now, Starfire has enough deterrence. If they’re caught and alert the patrol team, there’s rarely any resistance unless you don’t want to go through instances anymore. Otherwise, you have to follow this city’s rules.
And inside the prison, besides the visible guards, a small Worm Nest is stationed with many members of the Worm Tribe inside. Trying to escape is tantamount to seeking death.
In the interrogation room, shackles full of runes restrained the Harpy, making it impossible for her to mobilize any elemental power.
“Kill me. If you want to get any intelligence from me, that’s impossible,” the Harpy sneered.
Li Yao gently shook his head, “Wanting to die is not so easy. You have a very significant role to play.”
“I told you, I won’t say anything,” the Harpy shut her mouth directly.
“Intelligence? It’s not that I underestimate you. Your Harpy civilization is too primitive, willing to live in ruins without even city walls. Is your intelligence useful to me? And as a neighbor, I’m somewhat familiar with your side. As far as I know, your side should have five World-level Chiefs, about thirty-six with your level of strength, and an Ace Army of four million. The total population is about fifteen million. The power entrenched in the ruins is only apparent, and the real strength should be in the mountains behind the ruins,” Li Yao said casually.
With Li Yao’s words, the Harpy’s face became increasingly ugly. She really didn’t expect Li Yao to know so much.
Ordinary tribe members have too little wisdom and their thoughts are crazy. Only those who reach the level of the Ace Army can regain rationality, but even they know little.
Only those at her level truly understand the situation, and what Li Yao said was too accurate.
Especially his statement that there are five World-level Chiefs within the tribe; this was something she overheard their military commander mention inadvertently. The tribe hid two world-class powerhouses.
On the surface, they only have three, and there’s only one stationed in the ruins. That the opponent knew such secret intelligence left her extremely astonished.
“Now you understand, your purpose isn’t for so-called intelligence. For example, I could put you in the Gladiator Arena; I’m sure you’d be quite welcomed. Or seal you in a Magic Power Barrier. You’ve probably heard that we lack magic power here. Although you don’t have much, you’re still a camp-level chief, and you might last a few years before running dry,” Li Yao stated.
If Li Yao’s previous words made her face go pale, now her whole body trembled. Becoming a Gladiator was a nightmare; even though she was strong, only one in a hundred survived the arena.
Drawing her magic power was even more painful, practically a fate worse than death. This kind of torment made even wishing for death an impossibility.
“Despicable, shameless, if you have the ability, kill me,” the Harpy finally fell into despair, sealed by the Moon God’s power, leaving her without any hope and only endless despair.
“I do have another path. I embarked on the Path of the Strong, and after completing this task, my mentor gave me a crystal that can transform other creatures into Holy Light beings, but this crystal transformation will make them my Attendant, fighting for me for life,” the Fruit Knight spoke up at this time.
Li Yao pretended to ponder for a moment, while the Harpy showed a hopeful expression. After all, compared to the two previous paths.
“Harpy tend to be reckless and stubborn; even if she’s reluctant to be transformed. Moreover, this Harpy’s grade is mediocre. Your transformation crystal is only one, and it’s an original Attendant. I suggest being careful. We can find a more suitable target, like the Sea Giants by the seaside, the monstrous snakes on Horror Island north of Feathermoon Stronghold, or even a higher Naga would be much stronger than a Harpy,” Li Yao seriously suggested.
The Fruit Knight hesitated slightly, “The president does have a point…”
The Harpy’s face changed, and she quickly said, “I’m suitable, I can fly and control Wind Thunder. Even if transformed by Holy Light, my command over Wind Thunder won’t be assimilated. The Sea Giants are low in intelligence, the snake monsters are more like beasts. As for the Naga, although not weak in intelligence, they’re much weaker on land. And I’m adept at both land and air combat.”
Li Yao turned his head and walked directly outside, “I’m just suggesting, you consider it yourself.”
The Enchantress also shook her head and walked out with Li Yao.
“I also think you have an excellent temperament. Even with some shortcomings, I am quite interested in you. However, transformation requires releasing your will; if you are willing, I can give it a try. If not, you can only be sent to the Gladiator Arena, and even if you survive there, you will likely be sent to that place afterward.”
The Harpy, who originally had some little thoughts, was filled with despair upon hearing the Fruit Knight say this. To become a knight’s combat companion, although losing freedom, at least she’d still be alive and could be resurrected.
The Fruit Knight promptly activated the crystal, a surge of Holy Light Power enveloped the Harpy, the runes on her body kept disintegrating, and then holy light patterns affixed.
Outside the prison, the Enchantress smiled, “You really even calculated against a Harpy.”
Li Yao laughed and shook his head, “Transformation requires the other party to completely abandon resistance, including will. Weak beings are a waste, while powerful ones are hard to tame. Although camp-level Harpies have high wisdom, they’re ultimately lacking something. If it were other highly intelligent creatures, this taming wouldn’t be possible.”
“Well, Harpies are still good, not weak in both land and aerial combat, and the Fruit Knight gains a lifebound Attendant, greatly increasing her combat power,” the Enchantress said, “There aren’t many players that can defeat her anymore.”
“In the end, it was your cleverness; you thought of this plan when capturing her,” Li Yao laughed. “You just got back, right? How was the task for the Path of the Strong this time?”
The Enchantress sighed, “As you saw, I still have the same methods. This task failed, and the mentor’s requirements were too high for me alone to complete. I came back this time to ask for your help to complete a mission in a Broken Plane.”…
