BXBX NOVEL Chapter 247: 247, [Naya Hourglass (Golden Legend)]_1
Throughout the time Tina was battling against Claude, Alyssa, with her arms crossed, had been watching Tina.
What’s worth mentioning is that, throughout the entire process, Alyssa never so much as glanced at Su Yu, as if Su Yu didn’t exist at all.
However, Su Yu could feel Alyssa’s fluctuating emotions. Every three to four seconds, his game log would refresh with a system notification:
“Ding, [Princess Alyssa’s] favorability towards you decreased by 1.”
“Ding, [Princess Alyssa’s] favorability towards you decreased by 1.”
“Ding, [Princess Alyssa’s] favorability towards you increased by 2.”
“Ding, [Princess Alyssa’s] favorability towards you decreased by 1.”
“Ding, [Princess Alyssa’s] favorability towards you increased by 1.”
Alyssa’s favorability towards Su Yu was fluctuating slightly non-stop.
Fortunately, her favorability never fell below the critical point of 40 required for the [Enthusiasm stage].
Su Yu knew Alyssa must be angry, he flew towards her, intending to explain his relationship with Tina.
However, when he was approximately 10 metres away from Alyssa, an invisible “Air Wall” suddenly appeared, keeping him isolated from her and preventing him from approaching.
During Tina’s battle with Claude, Sky Dragon and the other players working on quests within the noble factions also rushed to the scene.
Watching Claude who was gradually weakening in the sky, everyone had different expressions. Some were mocking, some indifferent, some pitying
But most of them were contemplating on how to continue with their current tasks, thinking of ways to reap the most benefits from the following quests.
Su Yu spotted Sky Dragon among the crowd and gave her a wave.
Sky Dragon also saw him and returned the wave.
It was then that Su Yu suddenly remembered something.
He opened the private chat interface and sent a message to Sky Dragon: “Sky, do you know about the city lord Claude’s second daughter, [Frandor]?”
Sky Dragon quickly replied: “Of course, my quest line starts with her. What’s up?”
Su Yu: “You need to keep an eye on her. Judging from some parts of the future I foresaw, she will likely be an important NPC in the main storyline of the next expansion, just like the princess and Tina.”
Sky Dragon: ”
Su Yu: “Consider this piece of information as a thank you for the intel you gave me about the city lord’s manor previously! I have only told you, so make sure to seize this opportunity.”
Once he finished replying, Su Yu closed the private messaging interface.
The next expansion is called [The Kings’ Conflict], and one of the main storylines involves Claude’s second daughter, [Frandor].
After her father’s death, Frandor travelled far and wide to the Lai Yin Empire, imploring the emperor of Lai Yin Empire about her plight, begging him to bring justice for her.
The emperor of Lai Yin was deeply moved by Frandor’s plea.
For the sake of justice (actually, he saw the weakened state of the Goldfinch Empire and wanted to take advantage of it), he joined forces with other human states as well as the Elf Race and Orc Clan to strike at the Goldfinch Empire.
Chances are, Su Yu himself won’t participate in the main storyline quests in the upcoming expansion.
After all, in a little over a month, he would likely already be a fifth-rank power, so the rewards from the main storyline would be somewhat unattractive to him.
So he decided to give Sky Dragon the chance to follow the main storyline.
With her skills, luck, and financial power, she should be able to gain plenty of benefits from the main storyline.
The scene switches back to Tina.
After slaying Claude, Tina sheathed her sword and addressed Alyssa in a solemn tone, “Your Royal Highness the Princess, I have successfully completed my mission by slaying Claude!”
“Well done, Tina. You did just great.” Alyssa flew to Tina and said, “Our forefathers and Nemesis often mentioned you, and today when we met, you’re indeed an extraordinary girl!”
As a fourteen-year-old calling Tina a “young girl”, it seemed quite funny.
However, Alyssa was anything but normal.
She had been trained rigorously in court etiquette and naturally exuded royal dignity. Hence, despite her peculiar way of addressing Tina, nobody felt any dissonance.
Alyssa gazed at Tina and slowly asked, “Tina, what is your relationship with Nemesis?”
“We ” Tina’s cheeks turned slightly pink. “We are just friends. Nothing more.”
“Just ordinary friends?”
“Hmm kind of ordinary friends.”
“That’s good.” Alyssa nodded her head and said, “Tina, Nemesis mentioned that you are proficient in chess and your commanding capabilities are extraordinary.”
“For a while, come with me to Forest City. Currently, the position of Deputy Marshal of the Empire is vacant and I believe you are capable enough for the role.”
Simultaneously, Alyssa thought to herself, “If I keep Tina close, it would minimize her interactions with Nemesis. Over time, their relationship would probably fade.”
Tina, unaware of the princess’s ulterior motives, earnestly responded, “I’m willing to serve Your Highness!”
“Excellent!” Alyssa patted Tina’s shoulder.
Then she turned her head towards Su Yu, who was not far away.
“Nemesis, according to our forefathers, you have a chance to become a prince through competition in the future. However, your second-rank strength is too weak. You can’t compete with other princes from foreign countries.”
“I found some magical creature materials in Xi Fan’s treasury. I hope they can help you rapidly gain strength.”
Alyssa waved her hand, and a Space Ring flew out from her hand falling into Su Yu’s hands.
“Ding, Main storyline [Saintess of Orleans City (50/100)] has been completed.”
“You received a reward: [Demon’s grimoire (Gold)] X 1, Spiritual energy coin X 10,000.”
“[Princess Alyssa] has given you extra rewards: Fifth-rank material [Heart of the South Wind Dragon], Fifth-rank material [Storm Dragonling’s Heart], Sixth-rank material [Leg Bone of the Blaze Gryphon].”
Su Yu was surprised. He didn’t expect the princess to give him three high-level magical creature materials, which were incredibly helpful for him to quickly enhance his capability!
At the same time, he received another game prompt:
“Ding, it is detected that you possess the [Stopwatch (Gold)], [Explorer’s Arm Guard (Gold)], [Demon’s grimoire (Gold)] items. Would you like to combine these three items into a [Naya Hourglass (Gold)]?”
“[Yes]”
“[No]”
Of course, Su Yu immediately chose [Yes].
After making his choice, three golden lights flew out from his backpack and combined into a golden hourglass in mid-air and then returned to Su Yu’s hand.
