Chapter 253 - Oliphia (1/2)
[Guild Quest, The Fallen Cities has been updated]
Contact Neb Eruna at the Bright Sun Tavern in Oliphia.
Nix stood on the walls of Inferno City. The haze of the shield made it difficult to see more than a few hundred meters. ”We'd have to be very close to the other cities to even see them.”
Yandro had placed the former city of Elynmoor on the highest mountain range in Everspire. The Inferno Guild was able to see for miles in all directions from their viewpoint before the shields were raised. Halla had made it very clear, none of the cities dare lower their shields while in the air. There were too many very dangerous flying creatures inhabiting the lands.
Hyai had a hand tucked into his arm while they talked quietly. ”Are you going to try and reclaim the lost cities?”
This city is back in the air, that's enough for now,” Nix shrugged slightly. ”Lots of other things to do first. Who knows where the other five cities are. The odds are high that those have been discovered and are inhabited by the natives.”
The tall redhead turned at the noise coming from the streets. Halla had asked Nix to bring in nearly a hundred craftsmen to get to work on rebuilding the city. ”You're going to spend time here with us?”
”Yes. Someone needs to be opening gates back and forth to Core'dium.” Nix noticed that she looked pleased by his announcement. ”Of course I still have my duties as Breach Commander, so I'll be moving around quite a bit.”
”Don't ruin it, Hun.” She leaned closer and kissed the side of his face. ”I've claimed a room at the Inn, now that the power is working I'll cook you something good.”
Nix smiled and watched as she walked down the steps to the street below. ”Is that all?”
”No, I'm going to spoil you a bit.” Hyai glanced back, ”coming?”
”I have to contact someone first, then I will.” Nix waited until Hyai left before descending the steps and ducking into an alley. Leva had tried to reach him earlier when he was briefing the guild.
[Direct Contact: Leva] The Fallen's chancellors holo showed that she was still alive and well. She immediately updated him. ”I'm in Chyanama and have assumed the mantle of Overlord.”
”And the assassins?”
”The city defenses have dealt with them.” Leva took a seat on a comfortable looking chair before she continued. Her dark eyes showed surprised when she noticed a package had arrived. ”You sent me something Nix?”
Nix nodded. ”Yes, 5 drops of dragon blood. Everyone involved in the fight with Zylanexor received some. Drink it now.”
Leva nodded and drank it down without question. ”This will really improve my strength. May I ask the reason for this?”
”Sure. You were taken down by a Lord Class Water Witch. You must become stronger so that you will be a proper minion.” Nix spent time researching possible effects of dragon blood, one was stronger mental fortitude.
”The Water Witch, she is one of your companions?”
Nix didn't answer. ”Rest and absorb the benefits of the dragon blood.”
Leva nodded. ”What do I do after?”
”Stay in the Nether and we will discuss plans soon.” Nix kept the contact open without saying anything for a few moments while he considered their options. ”There are too many Overlords in the Nether, find us one that is vulnerable.”
[Direct Contact: Donri]
Nix smiled at the trio from Inferno, they were all sitting together on some sort of bench. Their faces said it all, they could not find the Cabal. ”Wild Goose chase guys?”
Donri's face had a sour look, a whole day spent chasing their tails. ”Every time we think we have a lead, it ends up being nothing.”
”At least your in the right city.” Nix offered the three of them an apologetic smile. ”Check out the Guild Quest: The Fallen Cities.”
Jun Li opened up her hud and showed the rest of the team. Her voice sounded annoyed. ”Neb Eruna at the Bright Sun? Didn't we speak to him twice?”
