Chapter 559 Rebuilding the Defend Wall
He was well aware that the Mystery Protector would relentlessly discourage others from collaborating with him.
"I'm extremely grateful for this clue you've provided. Do you have any more information? If I can learn more about the Mystery Protector, I might be able to devise a better response."
John wasn't surprised by this revelation, which seemed to hint to the Naga Queen that there might be more to the story.
However, the Naga Queen truly didn't have any additional information.
She shook her head and said, "I don't have more information about the Mystery Protector.
After the battle, he quickly returned. If you wish to learn more about him, you should go back to Storm City and seek out Duke Arsena.
The Duke is probably preparing for the rebuilding of the Defend Wall at Sunset Mountain for the upcoming Order Faction, in Storm City.
The threat from the Dark Faction to the Order Faction is still significant.
After successfully dealing with the threat from the Mystery camp, preparations to counter the threat from the Dark Faction are also essential."
The advice from the Naga Queen was indeed very pertinent.
Aside from following it, John didn't have many other viable options.
Nevertheless, before leaving, John offered some assistance to the Naga tribe.
He gifted them some of the divine scrolls he possessed.
"Although these divine scrolls are extremely precious to me, they can be of greater use in your Naga tribe. You can use these valuable scrolls to swiftly complete the repairs of your tribe's buildings. Only by doing so can your tribe independently deal with other threats. If your tribe continuously relies on my assistance, it will consume a lot of my energy."
After expressing these thoughts, John planned to head straight back to Storm City.
However, the Naga Queen called out to him again, as she seemed to have something more to say. "Initially, I recognized your strength as among the very top in the world of adventurers, but I truly didn't expect you to gain the Sea God's approval. The advice I can offer you now is quite limited. However, since you've helped our Naga tribe, I naturally want to provide some assistance to you as well.
I hope you will be mindful of the actions of other adventurers. As an adventurer yourself, you should be very familiar with them. But it seems you haven't been very vigilant against other adventurers. You are completely different from them; you are willing to help us. I don't want you to face a significant crisis due to a lack of caution against other adventurers."
John nodded, acknowledging the Naga Queen's words.
He then teleported back to Storm City. After John's departure, Shatras directly asked the Naga Queen, "Your Majesty, there is something I really don't understand. Why would the Sea God acknowledge an adventurer? Doesn't the Sea God have other followers as powerful as John?"
This question from Shatras was also a lingering doubt in the Naga Queen's mind.
However, she couldn't possibly pose this question directly to John, nor was it likely she could directly inquire with the Sea God.
Consequently, the Naga Queen did not provide Shatras with any answer.
Without a response from the Queen, Shatras did not pursue the matter further.
Upon John's return to Storm City, Adam and Blue Sea had already departed to attend to their own matters.
John initially planned to directly seek out Duke Arsena. But in the end, he decided first to check on Emma and SkyStars to see their progress in leveling up.
However, as soon as he entered the barracks of the Storm City guards, he encountered an old acquaintance, the captain of the training field at the Storm City guard barracks.
"You've come here again, but I don't think you need the training field to increase your level anymore. Your level is already high enough, perhaps even higher than that of the Duke," said Drill Sergeant Betack, his face showing a hint of surprise upon seeing John.
But beyond the surprise, there was no longer as much wariness as before.
Clearly, after a series of events, at least Drill Sergeant Betack had come to recognize that John was on their side.
For someone as cautious as Betack, his acknowledgment was indeed precious.
"I'm not here to level up. I'm looking for two of my adventurer companions. It seems they're not in the training field right now. Do you know where they might be?" John asked, noticing the change in Drill Sergeant Betack's tone.
However, he didn't mind it much as, in his view, Betack's strength was incomparable to his own.
Betack nodded and promptly took out his logbook. "The last time they were seen in the training field was this morning. If my guess is correct, they should now be in the trading district of Storm City.
As you're well aware, all adventurers hope to acquire useful weapons in the trading area. However, I personally wouldn't recommend you buy weapons there. The weapons in the trading district usually aren't very useful. Most of them are just adventurers deceiving each other."
This advice from Betack was something John was already aware of.
He never purchased weapons in the trading district, knowing that the quality there was subpar.
The weapons John currently possessed were all of divine grade.
It was certain that divine grade weapons wouldn't be available in the trading district, especially considering that apart from John, an exceptionally top-tier player, such weapons were exceedingly rare.
Other players, even the guild leaders of the major guilds, are unlikely to possess multiple divine-grade weapons.
Therefore, it's natural that they wouldn't sell their most precious weapons.
"Thank you very much for your assistance. I'll remember your advice!" John said, preparing to leave.
However, Drill Sergeant Betack stopped him.
"The Duke wishes to see you immediately," Betack said, his voice tinged with surprise, clearly having just received this information.
"Did the Duke mention what he wants to discuss with me?"
John asked, slightly taken aback, inquiring if there was any additional information.
Betack shook his head, indicating that he didn't know anything more and was also caught off guard when he received the message.
"Alright then, I'll head to Duke Arsena's palace right away. As for my two adventurer companions, they should be safe. After all, the Mystery Saint has been defeated by us, and it's unlikely that the Mystery camp will launch an attack again anytime soon."
After saying this, John proceeded directly to Duke Arsena's palace.
At the entrance of the palace, he unexpectedly encountered the general who had been in charge of defending the Defend Wall.
Both were slightly surprised at their meeting.
"Shouldn't you be at the Defend Wall? Why have you returned to Storm City? Does this mean that the Dark Realm no longer poses any threat to the Defend Wall?" John asked directly.
In his view, the situation at the Defend Wall should have been more critical, so he was curious as to why the general had appeared here.
The general responded candidly, "After the previous battle, the Defend Wall has been under reconstruction. However, the progress of the repairs is far from ideal. My visit here is to seek assistance from Duke Arsena, as Storm City likely has more resources.
We need to expedite the rebuilding of the Defend Wall. Only once it is restored can we ensure the safety of Storm City. We have observed unusual movements in the Dark Realm. If I'm not mistaken, the Dark Faction might soon launch another attack on the Order Faction."
This information from the general of the Defend Wall's guards put considerable pressure on John.
Although he felt he was in good shape, diving into another divine war so soon might prevent him from performing at his previous level of strength.
"In that case, let's go see Duke Arsena right away. The Duke's summons might also be regarding the Defend Wall," John suggested.
Thus, the two of them hurried off to find Duke Arsena.
