Chapter 322: Chapter 303: Meeting Again
"If your only relative were to make a mistake, would you choose to expose her to the world or to stand against it for her?"
When Lin Yi heard this sentence, it echoed in his mind, impossible to shake off.
Who was that woman who suddenly appeared? Lin Yi had no idea.
He was even more clueless as to why she appeared there suddenly and spoke those strange words to him.
In fact, she didn’t give Lin Yi any chance to ask questions, because as soon as she asked this sentence, she had already left.
Just like when she arrived, so suddenly.
However, Lin Yi was not entirely in the dark about her. At least he knew her name: Chanel Hera Lv68.
Lin Yi speculated that this person should have some connection with the Succubus Race, or perhaps she was one of them?
...
The inner and outer city of Moria City was only separated by a wall, centered around the statue of Sharon Zimmerman and the Golden-Horned Winged Lion.
There was only a street between the two.
Lin Yi was sitting on a small stall across the street, with the wall of the inner city already filled with people expressing dissatisfaction and anger towards the Succubus Race.
They were all indignantly waiting for the Succubus Race to provide an explanation and solution.
At a glance, the highest Level among these people was only over 20.
The races gathered here were almost the weakest among the Hundred Races, with virtually no combat power.
In front of them, the Succubus Race was a giant.
If they weren’t really desperate, they probably wouldn’t dare to directly cause trouble at the doorstep of the Succubus Race like this.
After all, with the strength of the Succubus Race, these people are no match.
In fact, Lin Yi didn’t really care about these matters. He just wanted to complete his task and get the reward as per the mission requirements.
As for their uproar, it’s their business and has nothing to do with his mission.
However, due to the impact of this incident, he couldn’t even enter the main gate of the inner city now, let alone see the Succubus Race to complete his task.
Lin Yi didn’t plan to stay here doing nothing. Why not train with Zhang Xinying and the others when there’s time?
Since the proper way wasn’t working, suddenly...
Lin Yi looked outside the city, an idea struck: then go through the back door.
With that, Lin Yi didn’t delay, directly heading toward the north of the city. He should complete the mission first.
Going out the north gate led to the wild area, with Levels between 55-60.
Exiting the city, Lin Yi summoned the Nightmare and sat on it.
Intending to circumnavigate to the back of Moria City.
Someone might ask, with a Flying Mount, why not fly directly into the inner city?
Let’s not mention that even when things were calm, it’s forbidden for players to ride Flying Mounts into the Succubus Race’s inner city airspace.
Moreover, during this tense period, Lin Yi had no doubt.
If he appeared above the inner city on a Flying Mount, he’d surely be shot down by the Succubus Race’s guards without hesitation.
And at Lin Yi’s current Level, encountering these guards meant certain death.
Moria City wasn’t open to the public yet, so if he died here, he’d respawn at the resurrection point in White Tiger City; Lin Yi didn’t want to go through that hassle again.
Lin Yi controlled the Nightmare, flying almost flush with the treetops, trying to avoid being detected and not provoking those unfriendly wild creatures.
Despite its size, the Golden Behemoth moved as agilely as a Spiritual Monkey, managing to keep up with Lin Yi’s pace.
The Jade Qilin, perched on the Golden Behemoth’s shoulder, boredly said:
"What are we doing here? It’s hard not to speak!"
Sitting on the Nightmare, Lin Yi threatened the Jade Qilin:
"If you don’t want me to send you back, stay quiet and don’t cause trouble."
"Threatening me again!"
The Jade Qilin turned angrily on the Behemoth’s shoulder and said to Lin Yi,
"I’ve tolerated you for a long time. Don’t think I’m easy to bully, or else..."
"Or else what?"
Lin Yi turned his head to look at the Jade Qilin on the Behemoth’s shoulder, with a mischievous smile:
"Are you looking to be sent back by me?"
The tone of the Jade Qilin suddenly changed:
"Of course not, I’m just venting."
Then it obediently lay back down.
Lin Yi accidentally discovered that the jumping fellow had somehow come to like this world, and now its greatest fear was being sent back by Lin Yi.
It worked every time, making it much easier to get it to obey compared to before.
However, what the Jade Qilin didn’t know was that Lin Yi had no way to send it back anymore.
If Lin Yi used the Spirit Summoning Technique again, it would be replaced by new Summoned Creatures, leading to its death.
But Lin Yi wasn’t foolish enough to reveal this; holding this weakness made it easier to command.
The man and beast soon arrived at the back of Moria City. Lin Yi found a safe spot to land and told the two:
"Follow behind me, be careful and don’t make a sound."
The Golden Behemoth replied simply:
"Yes, master, I won’t speak."
Lin Yi clearly remembered a place that led to the inner city’s rear garden, where a low outer wall could be easily climbed over.
Some players who disliked trouble returned to the city from there, Lin Yi included.
Now, Lin Yi just needed to get inside, find someone from the Succubus Race, explain his purpose, and have them take him to the Holy Blood Pool to complete the task.
Following the route in his memory, Lin Yi found the low wall and leaped over it.
But as Lin Yi elegantly landed, he was momentarily stunned.
Because not far from where he landed, a familiar figure was squatting, holding a few small flowers and staring at him in astonishment.
"This..."
Lin Yi never expected to meet the black-haired woman he encountered in front of the statue here again.
Only she had swapped her rough clothing for a luxurious purple flowing dress.
At this moment, the Behemoth suddenly jumped in, shouting clumsily:
"Here I come!"
"Boom!"
Its massive body landed like an earthquake, and dozens of fully-armed Succubus Race guards suddenly rushed out:
"Who’s there?"
In no time, Lin Yi and his beast were heavily surrounded.
Lin Yi hurriedly explained:
"It’s a misunderstanding, all just a misunderstanding, don’t get excited."
Seeing those guards with Levels in the forties and fifties, Lin Yi was really worried they’d charge in and kill him instantly.
If they didn’t listen, Lin Yi was ready to activate the ’Instant Teleportation’ skill and escape at any moment.
Luckily, the worst did not happen. The woman waved her hand at the guards and said:
"All of you stand down; he’s my friend."
The Succubus Race guards looked at each other, but under the woman’s displeased gaze, they finally retreated bowing.
Seeing the guards leave, Lin Yi awkwardly smiled at the woman:
"Didn’t expect we’d meet again so soon."
The woman glanced at the low wall behind Lin Yi and smiled slightly:
"I also didn’t expect to meet you like this, Chosen One."
Then, gracefully, she brought the freshly picked flowers to her nose, sniffed them, and turned her back on Lin Yi, saying:
"Come with me."
