After leaving Orleans City, Su Yu didn’t immediately return to his territory, choosing instead to complete the main quest first.
After the territory had advanced to the [City] phase, the [Mage Tower] could now be built.
However, the construction of the Mage Tower was time-consuming, taking around five days to complete, just like the Wonders.
Moreover, a [Mana Pool] had to be formed after the completion of the Mage Tower, which would take another three days.
Only after the Mana Pool was finished could Su Yu convert monster materials into his own Experience Points.
So Su Yu was in no hurry, he would leave the Mage Tower to be built by the Territory’s Magic Craftsman while he went off to complete the main storyline.
There were two main storylines; one was the princess line, and the other was Tina’s line.
After some thought, Su Yu decided to start with the princess line.
After all, he had spent too much time in Orleans City, and a change of environment could help to lighten his mood.
Besides, Xi Fan was causing chaos in Goldfinch City, and Su Yu was worried about Princess Alyssa’s current situation.
Thus, Su Yu teleported to Goldfinch City.
Buzz—
The teleporting light shone on the gargantuan teleportation circle, and Su Yu appeared in Goldfinch City.
As soon as he arrived, Su Yu could feel the heavy and grim atmosphere that filled the air.
It was different from Orleans City.
Orleans City, far away from the war, possessed a peaceful and serene atmosphere; time stood still.
But in Goldfinch City, which was about to become a rebel stronghold, every resident looked somber and anxious.
Su Yu could understand their current state of mind.
He guessed it wouldn’t be long before the real world would be like this too, and the atmosphere might be even more intense. After all, the citizens of Goldfinch City were merely changing masters and were not necessarily going to die, but as for the Blue Star Humans, they were on the brink of extinction!
Su Yu sighed and summoned Dima to ride. “Dima, let’s go see the princess.”
“Chirp Chirp!” Dima, energetic as ever, carried Su Yu quickly towards the Royal Palace.
Goldfinch Royal Palace.
Accompanied by the guard Keerderon, Su Yu saw Princess Alyssa in the Council Chamber.
Alyssa was as before, seated high on her throne, dressed in luxurious clothing. Her face boasted both the cuteness of a little girl and the majesty of the royal family.
However, upon laying eyes on her, Su Yu noticed something was off.
At present, the princess’s affection for him had risen to the [Attention Stage], which was not far from the highest level [Enthusiasm Stage].
Theoretically, upon seeing Su Yu again, the princess would surely have a small exchange with him, perhaps catch up or ask where he had been recently.
But now, the princess looked utterly indifferent.
She looked at Su Yu impassively and stated, “Welcome back to the palace, adventurer.”
It was as if she had never known Su Yu before.
Su Yu was taken aback and raised his eyes to the princess on the throne.
After careful observation, Su Yu noticed a faint black mist shrouding the princess’s eyes.
Not just her, but the nearby guards’ eyes were also shrouded in a black fog. It was clear that all of their souls had been controlled by Xi Fan!
Xi Fan really has some nerve!” Su Yu was greatly surprised, “First he tried to assassinate Tina, then he controlled the princess. He’s really crossed the line!”
What’s even more strange is that, aside from Xi Fan, there are five other powerful seventh rankers on the empire’s side who know that Xi Fan has taken control of the princess. Yet, they remain silent till now. Are they acquiescing to it?
While thinking about the chaos, Su Yu bowed to Princess Alyssa: “Your Highness, I am an otherworldly adventurer, Nemesis, called here by the divine spirits to follow you.”
“Hm.” Alyssa rose indifferently from the throne “The defense forces of Goldfinch City have now been assembled. Today at noon, I will lead the city’s defense forces to Forest City to find my father. Adventurer, you will come with me.”
“Ding, second phase of [The Glory of Goldfinch Empire] is now open.”
“Ding, your main storyline has been updated! [The Glory of Goldfinch Empire (26/100)].”
“Quest Requirement: Accompany Princess Alyssa and the defense forces of Goldfinch City to Forest City.”
“Quest Reward: Experience Points X20000.”
“I would be glad to serve you, Your Highness.” Su Yu bowed.
At this moment, he suddenly added, “Your Highness, Do you still remember Morningstar?”
Upon hearing this, a hint of struggle appeared in the princess’s eyes, as if her consciousness had suddenly awakened, fighting against the “black mist” for control of her body.
Unfortunately, just as her consciousness woke up, it was repressed by the black mist, and her eyes went blank again.
“I don’t remember.” Alyssa stated brusquely.
“Well I’ll be going then. Goodbye, Your Highness.”
Su Yu sighed, filled with worry, as he left the palace with Keerderon.
At noon, Su Yu, along with ten thousand city defence forces, left Goldfinch City and started the journey to Forest City.
But this time, Su Yu couldn’t share a carriage with the princess anymore. Instead, he diligently followed behind on Dima.
Xi Fan’s carriage proceeded directly in front of the princess’s carriage. The black fog kept emitting from his carriage. Many people’s eyes were shrouded in a light black mist.
The large force marched forward.
From Goldfinch City, the journey to Forest City would take around three days, which was six hours in reality.
Su Yu browsed the forum, engaged in the guild chat, and gradually passed the time.
When they were only half an hour away from Forest City, a video window suddenly popped up right in front of Su Yu’s view.
Not just Su Yu, but every player in the game had a giant video window that occupied half of their view from their game screen.
In the real world, video windows popped up on everyone’s mobile, computers, electronic displays in squares, and other electronic terminals. Even devices that were in sleep mode or turned off was no exception.
In the video window, an elderly man, dressed in military uniform, was sitting sternly at a table, staring at the screen.
Su Yu recognized this elderly man. It was Commissioner Zhang, who he had encountered a while ago.
Seeing the video, Su Yu immediately knew what was about to happen.
It should be the decision of the highest command to use a video to announce the existence of aliens to all citizens.
Thus, Su Yu halted Dima, getting ready to listen to what Commissioner Zhang would say.
The other players in the game all looked at the video window, given that it was occupying most of their view, they had no choice but to look.
But Commissioner Zhang hadn’t started speaking yet, so they began to discuss with the people around them:
“Mr. Green, do you also have a video window in front of you?”
“Right, you got it too?”
“Of course, is it a game bug?”
“Don’t know, let’s just wait and see.”
In several places in the real world, people took out their phones, staring at the video playing automatically on the screen.
People glanced around, all electronic terminals around them were showing this footage.
Many had realized? either all the electronic terminals nearby were infected with a virus, or something significant was about to happen!
