Chapter 678 The Demon King Of Miasma's Cult Remnants
-----
Ding!
[You have accepted the [World Quest]: [Find The Root Of The Demon King of Miasma\'s Cult And Stop Them!]
[After hearing the words from your friends, you and your allies have decided to cooperate on their search for the Cult of the Demon King of Miasma, which has yet to be dissolved after their idol\'s death.]
[They are still alive, moving and doing things in the shadows. The fate of your neighboring Kingdom might now be in your hands… And above all, your mission of seeking the Fragment of the Fallen Floating Continent of Cloudia remains.]
[If you still desire to look for clues about the Fallen Continent too, why not call Brisingra, the Dwarven Princess? Her Bloodline as an Ancient High Elf could come in handy.]
[Completion Rewards]: [EXP] [Gold] [???]
[Time Limit: 7 Days.]
And right as I shook hands with Angelina, I ended getting the Quest. This time, it was much more cryptic. It made me feel a bit unease, is there something special or dangerous there hiding?
Well, I know the Cult is especially dangerous but now that their "god" is long dead, what else could they be trying to do now other than simply being a band of criminals?
Maybe… could they be trying to worship Thanatos? But he\'s not exactly the Demon King of Miasma, and his past and motives are also different.
Well, whatever, we\'ll find out once we get there. I could probably also try to investigate more about the Kingdom of Sorrow if we ever get to have a talk with the royal family of the Luminous Kingdom.
And of course, I should go pick up Brisingra so she can come with us. Also, before leaving, I would like to upgrade my Territory, and maybe build a few more buildings and stuff to help protect it.
Perhaps learning a new World Boss Skill too, and… Maybe fuse a few Job Class and Subclass Skills while we\'re at it.
"I think we could depart tomorrow, if things go alright." I commented after drinking some tea.
"Sounds good." Angelina nodded. "We\'ll stay around here until then. Are you guys alright with waiting?"
"Sure, we\'ve got a whole week to do the quest." Erdrich shrugged.
"I think we could do it through the weekend." Gandalf said. "I won\'t have much time in the week because of work."
"Boomers and their jobs. Why don\'t you just live off the money you make from the game already?" Anikitty laughed.
"It\'s not near as enough! My country\'s quite expensive, you know?" Sighed Gandalf.
"Come to think of it, from where are you guys?" Wondered Rita while snacking on a huge wild vison rib covered on barbeque sauce.
"I\'m from California." Angelina smiled.
"Ah, Japan." Anikitty added.
"Mexico." Erdrich said while looking at a huge skull he was filling with tea. Was that his mug?
"England…" Gandalf sighed.
"Oh, so we\'ve got a brit here!" Laughed Rita. "Oi mate!"
"Shut up!" Gandalf had little patience. "I know I\'m bri\'sh and shit but that doesn\'t matter now."
"It\'s interesting how the game help us translate what we speak, so we can always know what the other is saying!" Said Lily with a smile.
"Well, only Anikitty is actually not that good at English." Erdrich sighed. "I can speak it well, no problem."
"Hey! You know how difficult is to learn English? It\'s like… whole letters and words that don\'t make sense. A completely different alphabet!" Anikitty complained.
"I see, so you\'re from Japan." I giggled. "It must be nice. We\'re all from Canada. We know each other and live in the same city too."
"Oooh, really?!" Angelina wondered. "That\'s so niceee! Maybe we could meet up one day!"
"Sounds good to me." Mark nodded while crossing his huge arms.
"Well, I guess." Rita shrugged.
"I would love to!" Lily seemed very eager.
"Ah, there\'s another friend who\'s currently at work right now, she\'s a Poison Slime player, you\'ll know her when you see her." I said. "You don\'t mind her joining? She\'s a bit lower leveled than us but she\'s competent. She helped us defeat all those dragons I uploaded vids about."
"Oh, I do remember a purple slime player in those." Angelina said. "Amazing, slime players are very rare because of how weird it feels to be one. A body without bones, giggly, and stuff… It makes some people feel sick and puke. She must have a really good motion control and tenacity."
"Well she\'s often drunk all the time so maybe she\'s used to be a mess." Laughed Mark, he ended making most of us laugh with that.
"Come to think of it! Those videos you uploaded recently got a lot of views! Especially the fight against Fafnir! It already surpassed the five hundred thousand views mark some hours ago. Oh? It\'s already up to six hundred thousand!" Angelina was checking a few other system windows, checking the online page where we uploaded the videos.
"Really?!" I wondered. "Ah, the Ad Revenue\'s going to be rather nice…"
Well, not like I need any money now that I sold some magic items and gained Millions… But still, it\'s fun to earn money with my own efforts through that method as well.
And I could end up wasting all of that money buying other products from Earth too, so I might as well treat it as a different income for other, much bigger purchases, while I leave what I earn through livestreams and videos organically as the income that maintains my life and my daughter. Yeah, that thought process might help me keep my sanity and not lose touch.
As everyone enjoyed the feast, I decided to begin what I had decided to do today. I checked my Status one last time, seeing how many Community Points and World Boss Points I\'ve accumulated so far…
[Community Points: 63500] [World Boss Points: 23755]
That\'s a rather generous amount! With that I could either upgrade something big like my castle or walls or build something completely different instead.
I tried to check on my Blueprints, but I\'ve already used all the ones that looked useful.
"How can I get new Blueprints again?" I wondered.
FLASH!
The Helper Spirit materialized above my head.
"You don\'t remember? Just think about the design first!"
"The design? Oh!"
