Chapter 637 : 379: Tianyuan Territory Doesn't Lack Competent Employees (4K)

Night fell.

After resting and resupplying in Tianyuan City for half a day, Minister Qin and others were ready to ride the Wings of the Wind King and set out again.

This time, their goal was to ascertain the situation.

To investigate and clarify whether there existed a passage that could lead directly to the heart of Dragon Sleep Valley, everything thus far was merely his conjecture.

"What? You're saying that Tianyuan also wants to join this mission? Does he have a death wish?"

During the assembly, Lord Feiyan exclaimed in surprise.

Shen Linglong scratched her head, "What's so strange about that? The conflict in Tianyuan City has ended, and with Minister Qin's Wings of the Wind King, it won't take much time to go back and forth."

Like her, since the conflict in Tianyuan City had finished and there was nothing else to do or monsters to fight, she simply joined Minister Qin's team.

If she could come, there was no reason Tianyuan could not.

It was perfectly reasonable.

Lord Feiyan: Where is the logic in that? Isn't Tianyuan City still under threat from the Monster Overlord? They just want to abandon their home!

In the distance, a tall young man walked briskly over.

He was dressed in silver-white Light Armor and held a sky-blue Staff in his hand, yet he carried a large shield on his back that resembled a turtle shell.

This was Mu Yuan's attire, his survival gear.

In fact, whether it was the Staff, the armor, or the shield, they were all just items of Excellence-grade equipment, and couldn't even be considered the best among them.

The Staff and shield were merely mediators for him to perfectly utilize his skills.

And the survival abilities of Lord Shepherd, they still held a slight edge, moreover...

"A perfect incarnation?"

Minister Qin took a glance and figured out the trick.

He had been trying to think of a tactful way to decline this young man's participation, after all, Tianyuan was merely a Fourth-order Strongman.

There might not be an accident on their trip, but if one were to occur and they couldn't take Tianyuan into account, someone at only the fourth order like Tianyuan... would be too vulnerable.

If it was an incarnation...

"Tianyuan, are you sure you want to join us on this journey?" he asked again, not favoring the idea of Tianyuan taking the risk with them.

Mu Yuan confirmed:

"Of course, protecting the homeland and eliminating the threats, as the Lord of Tai Xuan, it is my unshirkable duty."

"I am also more familiar with the surrounding region and know where a passage entrance is more likely to exist."

Of course, he had other reasons that made his participation indispensable.

Dragon Sleep Valley was a first-class Overlord Power, and it was very likely to be right next to this great domain; he would probably have to face this formidable power in the future. How could he stay calm?

He must personally confirm this situation.

He could also take this opportunity to observe the state of the Monster Overlord north of Fang of the Jackal Wolf.

Otherwise, the journey from Tianyuan City to the North Domain was extremely far.

With that said, Minister Qin no longer refused.

...

Moments later, at the north gate of Tianyuan City.

"Then, we are ready to depart. The mission this time is to explore and investigate the situation of the domain passage, and depending on the situation and the results of the investigation, the Pioneer Group will give everyone 30,000 to 100,000 Contribution Points, as well as 3 to 5 minor merits as a reward," Minister Qin said.

This was a mission conducive to pioneering, beneficial to Tai Xuan, and naturally, it had its rewards.

If the results of the investigation were approximately as he predicted, the Pioneer Group would issue subsequent missions. Of course, by then, the main force would not be them anymore.

Minister Qin had also promised Mu Yuan that he would apply for a capital merit on his behalf—the merit of purifying the Heart of Corruption.

Minister Qin estimated that at the very least, he could apply for a great merit, along with a substantial amount of Contribution Points.

What did a great merit entail? In terms of scale, it was equivalent to one hundred minor merits, but in the eyes of many Frontier Lords, even if they could obtain hundreds of merits, it was not as significant as one great merit in terms of weight and honor.

A great merit signified that a Frontier Lord had made an important contribution in a certain war zone level conflict.

To advance in star level as a Frontier Lord, the war merits needed for a Three-star level were one great merit or one hundred minor merits.

This great merit symbolized Lord Tianyuan's significant feat in stopping the spread of the Red Mist Land. Of course, this was also because the Heart of Corruption had not yet truly been established, otherwise, it would have been far more than a single great merit.

And if, after this investigation, the emergence of the Heart of Corruption was confirmed to be closely related to Dragon Sleep Valley, this merit would increase in value.

However, the Pioneer Group was not likely to give out Contribution Points by the millions. As for the awards of merits and Contribution Points, Tai Xuan had a very intricate calculation method.

But it would certainly be not a small amount.

Mu Yuan was very satisfied, of course.

This was also thanks to Elder Qin's willingness to personally apply for him. Otherwise, if he applied on his own, he might not have succeeded in getting a great merit.

With such a generous gesture from the big shot towards him, he naturally felt the need to show his gratitude in kind.

Currently, there wasn't much that Tianyuan Territory could offer, but in the near future, as its external commanders, he could pick a few individuals with excellent professional capabilities to head to the Logistics Development Department.

This wouldn't take too long.

In at most a few months, the affairs of this region could be settled.

By then, the Tianyuan Division would truly step out and set foot on the world stage.

As the Great Lord Shepherd, he merely needed to act like a father to his commanders, acting as their support and continuously harvesting various resources, and that would suffice.

The Wings of the Wind King dove from the sky and gradually landed in the open space outside the city gates.

Looking at this majestic bird that somewhat resembled Jun but was magnitudes more impressive, Mu Yuan also longed to see Jun's stature after transcending into the realm of legends.

The flying speed of the Wings of the Wind King was incredibly fast and ranked among the top in its tier.
