NOVEL NEXT Chapter 229: Above Legend_3
And the cause of all this, was the notification issued from the abandoned naval base!
In the eyes of the Blood Empress, this notification didn't seem significant enough to provoke such competition among so many forces.
Was the information held by the Flower Witch really that important?
"Hmm..."
The venerable Gail spoke softly:
"The Witch's Land of Trial involves Occupation Cards related to Witches, plus there's the Flower Witch and the Black Hunter. It's not surprising that such a mix attracts numerous forces."
The Blood Empress nodded, her eyes reflecting curiosity.
"Besides that..."
Pausing, the veteran Gail fell silent for a moment:
"Legend is the peak for most Transcendents, and to surpass Legend, under the laws of the new era, one must become an edge hunter, serving at the frontiers of our world, resisting the monsters at the borders, and returning home in glory... only then is it possible...
This is a thorny path where death is more certain than life.
But in this world, surpassing Legend is not the only path."
Surpassing Legend... Chen Qi also revealed a look of curiosity.
Among players, Fourth Rank is the pinnacle, and the path beyond Legend usually lies only in the main storyline clues and in some unexplored Domains.
Undoubtedly, the great main storyline of the Witch Sea also touches on this path.
Of course, aside from this, there are also other more common 'paths'.
For example, organizations like the Black Whale Group and the Sea God Pirate Group proclaim within their ranks that they hold certain methods to transform a person into a dragon, to elevate them beyond Legend and closer to the divine.
Of course, most of these paths are 'bluffs'.
The veteran Gail continued:
"The Ice Witch is a Saint who stands above Legends, not an edge hunter, nor a noble-bred vessel, but she possesses a power comparable to that of a Demigod, known as the power of the Saint...
And in legend, the Ice Witch knew of a path that led beyond Legend, and she buried it within the Witch's Coffin, with the Witch's Trial Land being an important part of that legend.
A real Witch's Trial Land, drawing such a great number of forces, is hardly a strange occurrence."
The old Gail reminisced about the past.
The Ice Witch is a legend that truly appeared within the Witch Sea, and thus, to many Transcendent forces, the Witch's Trial Land is even more alluring than the treasure of the Deep Sea Hunter.
"I see..."
The Blood Empress nodded, then leaned closer to Chen Qi, inquisitively asking:
"Mr. Black Hunter, regarding my commission, um... that is, have you seen any trace of my husband, the Blood Emperor, in the Witch's Trial Land..."
The moment the Blood Emperor was mentioned, the old Gail sharply exhaled a heavy breath:
"That good-for-nothing, we in the Blood Blade Pirate Group no longer have any use for him!!"
"Don't be like that..."
The Blood Empress clasped her hands together, her eyes filled with hope as she looked towards Chen Qi.
Continue your journey with empire
"..."
Chen Qi blinked, glancing once more at the tense Little Red Riding Hood.
Well...
According to what he currently knew.
Firstly, Little Red Riding Hood was the Blade Witch.
Secondly, the Occupation Card of the Blade Witch had been taken by the Blood Emperor.
Blood Empress, your valiant husband might have already... Chen Qi didn't quite know how to put it, coughed twice and replied:
"Madam, regarding this matter, you can ask Fenrir after he wakes up."
At that moment, the veteran Gail decisively interrupted:
"The Blood Blade Pirate Group, we don't need a coward who ran away! What we need is the powerful blood of the youth!
Mr. Black Hunter, by the sound of your voice, you are quite young!!"
"..."
Why did it feel like the old Gail had completely given up on the Blood Emperor... Chen Qi couldn't help but frown.
The old Gail carried on:
"Mr. Black Hunter, as a reward, is there anything you want? As long as this old man can do it, you shall have it!!"
With that, Gail downed a glass of wine and slapped his chest resoundingly.
