Chapter 64
Chapter 64: Begging You, Save Her
As Sivey heard this, his face gradually darkened. He shook his head firmly and said, “This has nothing to do with me. That day, Demi-Human Saintess and I simply had a friendly exchange about the governance of Dawn Town.”
He was puzzled. In the previous game, such a thing had never happened with Saintess.
“System, do you know what’s going on?”
“Ding! Current information is insufficient. Please proceed to the anomaly point for investigation.”
Should he say it? This system is really useless.
Sivey scoffed.
“Is that so…” [Fat Chicken with a Round Face] bit her lip. She really liked Saintess Zoe, despite her being a bit silly but kind-hearted and innocent.
If Zoe died, she would really die, never able to come back.
Even if it was just data, she didn’t want to see Saintess Zoe being ruthlessly deleted like this.
To her, the people in this game weren’t NPCs at all; they were living beings.
As she traveled, she saw the myriad aspects of life, tasted its sweetness and bitterness. The more she saw, the tighter her heart clenched.
Every smile and frown of Saintess Zoe was vivid before her eyes.
She would be embarrassed by players’ teasing, angrily reprimand players who attempted suicide recklessly, play and joke around with everyone, pray devoutly for players heading to the battlefield…
This wasn’t fake, it couldn’t be just data!
“Please, save her! Zoe… Zoe might not have much time left!”
[Fat Chicken with a Round Face] knelt before Sivey, choking with tears, pleading.
She no longer saw herself as just a player but truly immersed herself in this world.
“Let’s go!”
Sivey didn’t hesitate. He immediately lifted [Fat Chicken with a Round Face] and took her to the balcony of the castle, pressing his finger against his lips and blowing forcefully.
A sharp whistle, aided by Qi, carried far away.
“Whoosh—”
A loud eagle cry echoed in the castle’s backyard, and soon a giant Gryphon flew unsteadily to the balcony, looking like it hadn’t fully woken up yet.
Sivey lifted [Fat Chicken with a Round Face] onto the Gryphon, tying her with a rope to prevent her from falling.
[Fat Chicken with a Round Face] didn’t know what to complain about anymore at this moment.
It’s just treating differently, holding the demi-human girl in front while directly tying her up, right? Eagle Lord is really despicable!
Sivey didn’t notice [Fat Chicken with a Round Face]’s strange expression.
He gently touched Gryphon’s big bird head, and Gryphon understood, propping up and soaring into the sky, flying towards Dawn Town under Sivey’s guidance.
…
Dawn Town, Mayor’s Mansion.
A group of players gathered outside Saintess Zoe’s room with worried expressions, the atmosphere extremely heavy.
At this moment, Avatar pushed open the door and walked out, immediately surrounded by a group of players, all asking questions.
“How is it going?”
“Is the Grand Purification Scroll useful?”
Avatar shook his head regretfully, his face bitter.
This was the money they earned by killing Demonic Beasts and selling their magic crystal hides. They spent fifty gold coins to exchange for the Grand Purification Scroll at the Temple of Order, but it still had no effect.
Before this, they had obtained healing scroll, purification scroll.
They even went to distant large towns and desperately fought at the auction to get Water of Life and concentrated Holy Water.
They tried everything, except for the Holy Water which eased Saintess’s condition slightly, nothing else worked.
They had sent a group of players to more distant towns to see if they could find more Holy Water, but they hadn’t returned yet, and Saintess’s condition was getting worse.
“That Eagle Lord is really despicable! I used to quite like him.”
“We are really the most miserable players, we can’t even save a game character. What a Fourth Cataclysm, it’s a joke.”
“If only we had a higher level, if only we had more time…”
“Has the protagonist been found?”
Several players who went to find Ye Hao collapsed.
Since Ye Hao said he was going to find a way to save Saintess, he hasn’t returned.
No one knew where he was now.
The players were helpless and began to discuss the culprit, Eagle Lord.
“Did Eagle Lord really do this?”
“Besides him, who else? That day, it was only the Eagle Lord and Saintess together, and then Saintess was alone.”
“Damn it, he’ll pay sooner or later!”
“Not only kill him, but also whip his corpse!”
…
Just as the players were cursing Eagle Lord angrily, a loud eagle cry suddenly echoed in the sky above Dawn Town.
Immediately after, with a loud bang, Eagle Lord wearing dragon crystal armor descended from the sky. Several players who hadn’t reacted screamed in agony but were crushed before they could react.
Eagle Lord solemnly shook off the blood on his knight boots, carrying behind him a Player, [Fat Chicken with a Round Face], who was bound by ropes and wriggling non-stop.
“It’s Eagle Lord!”
“Brother, you died miserably… turned into pancakes… hahaha…”
“Eagle Lord, look at what you’ve done!”
“Brothers, grab your weapons, kill the Eagle Lord and avenge the Saintess!”
…
Sivey threw Fat Chicken with a Round Face to the ground, his brow furrowed, paying no attention to the chattering and baring of teeth from the surrounding players.
Because the system prompts suddenly began to pop out as if going mad:
“Ding! Detected an anomaly!
“Ding… Ding… Zizi… Anomaly analysis in progress…”
“Ding! Detected anomaly in Child of Destiny Ye Hao, fate strands severed, ruptured, three, lines. Worldline cannot be repaired… Zizi… Cannot repair.”
“Ding! Detected anomaly in Demi-Human Saintess Zoe… Remedial measures analysis in progress…”
“Ding! No remedial measures available! Forcibly initiate Phase Three storyline, abduct Demi-Human Saintess, Saintess Zoe, remaining life two, hours… Zizi… Host is requested to execute immediately!”
“Host is requested to execute immediately!”
The system’s voice sounded urgent for the first time, tightening Sivey’s heartstrings.
“Two hours of life remaining?”
Sivey’s expression turned solemn. He knew nothing about Saintess’s current condition, but according to the system prompts, it was definitely related to Ye Hao.
The only method Unique could think of right now, which might be useful, was to take Saintess to Winterkeep and see if Lori could heal her.
There was no time left.
Sivey’s eyes turned cold as he faced the encroaching players, drawing his Longsword from behind.
His entire body surged with Qi, and with a roar, the Golden Lion swept out, cutting through the hundreds of players blocking the way into Saintess Zoe’s room.
“Damn! Eagle Lord is a Sky Knight now?”
“Damn it, is he a player or are we players?”
“Don’t talk nonsense, fill in the gaps, kill him, avenge Saintess!”
…
The players encouraged each other, rushing forward fearlessly. They were all over level twenty, and perhaps, with their numbers, they really had a chance to kill Eagle Lord.
But Sivey’s goal was not to kill these players at all. With a charge skill, he scattered the players and entered Saintess Zoe’s room.
The girl lying on the bed was extremely weak, her breathing faint, her face as pale as paper, already unconscious.
In less than half a month, the once pure and beautiful fox-eared girl had almost wasted away.
Even a commoner standing here would dare to judge that this girl was on her last legs.
There was no time left!
Sivey anxiously picked up the unconscious girl from the bed, and with a forceful swing of his Longsword upwards, the roof was suddenly split open by the soaring Qi sword.
With a powerful leap using the Qi’s propulsion, he flew into the sky, sitting on Gryphon, heading towards Winterfell.
The entire process happened in just a few breaths, leaving only a group of players staring up at the sky, roaring with anger and frustration.
