Terraria: Cruel World Legends

"It seems that this guy Jiaden has some moral principles? He actually notified us in advance instead of choosing a surprise attack..."

"He just wants to see the results of the 'experiment', not to destroy this place. So, it is reasonable for you, as an 'experimenter', to be prepared, right?" Prism said.

"...That's a good point...Okay, let's change the subject." Xi Yao didn't want to continue discussing matters about Jaden and the Destroyer.

"...Then, who was that person just now?" Prism asked after thinking for a while.

Xi Yao shook his head: "I don't know him, a stranger, he took a data recording chip from the Destroyer and left... Come to think of it, he did give me some chips..."

After saying that, Xi Yao took out a chip from the storage compartment on the breastplate.

"By the way, I don't have time tomorrow...Is the task of checking these chips given to you?"

Seeing Prism nod, Xi Yao placed the chip in Prism's hand and said:

"I heard from that guy that these chips are like blind boxes, which contain information that may be valuable or worthless, and the information includes intelligence and data..."

Prism nodded: "I know, I've come across it before."

"Then it's most appropriate to leave it to you. As for the display screen, it is in the room on the left hand side of the forging room." After Xi Yao finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something.

"Speaking of which, that guy's wings... unexpectedly have such terrifying mobility... What period could they be from..."

"Wings like that definitely don't belong to the Xieshangji. The most maneuverable wings of the Xieshangji recorded so far are not even half as maneuverable as those wings... In other words..."

"That is to say... Yueshang Ji?!" Xi Yao said the last three words in astonishment. You know, it has been more than a hundred years since the last day of Yueshang Ji. Could it be that that guy has lived for more than a hundred years?

It's possible; because the guy's appearance is obscured by the armor, it's impossible to see his appearance and thus judge his age.

Secondly, even if you see the person's appearance, you cannot judge his age based on his appearance alone.

Impossible; because if it really was an antique that had experienced the Moon Death Era more than a hundred years ago, how could it be possible that he was only wearing Daedalus armor and holding an agate blaster?

Very strange...very strange...

...Thinking like this, Xiyao and Prism had already arrived at the foot of the Refuge Mountain. The two did not intend to think any further, so they flapped their wings almost at the same time and landed at the entrance of the cave at the same time.

...After that, the two of them escorted the people hiding here back to the town. In the process of escorting people back to the town, Xiyao was on the left side of the crowd and Prism was on the right side of the crowd.

…and the little unicorn Azure followed behind Prism.

Fortunately, no monsters appeared during this period... After sending people back to the town safely, Prism suddenly discovered that Xi Yao's expression was a little strange. His complicated expression obviously showed that he was thinking about something.

Of course, she couldn't interpret what Xiyao was thinking by looking at his expression, so she could only watch from the side... After ten seconds, Xiyao suddenly sighed.

“…We can’t go on like this…” Xi Yao muttered to himself.

"what?"

"If there are other 'experiments' in the future, or other special enemies appear, it won't be good for people to always go to the shelter..."

“…” Prism nodded silently, obviously feeling a little worried about this.

Xi Yao was right. People came to settle in Dongfang Town to escape crises, not to fall into another crisis.

"...But there is a way." Suddenly, Xi Yao thought of something and immediately turned to look at the vast plain south of Dongfang Town.

"There's enough space there. Maybe we can build a special fighting area... so that it's farther away from Dongfang Town and won't affect people?"

"... maybe it can work... but it has to be far away, otherwise it will not affect people."

"That's it... Now let's talk about tomorrow's plan. I will first build a shelter in the cave for very special situations; then I will build a battle site on the plain in the distance."

"Then me?"

"You, decipher those chips... and then, if possible, go to the cave to mine for 'Orichalcum' and 'Mithril' ores. They are bright pink and turquoise in color, respectively, and can reflect light."

"Okay, see you tomorrow..." Prism said as he was about to turn around and go home, but was suddenly stopped by Xiyao.

"what happened?"

Xiyao first glanced at the sleepy Bilan beside Prism, then said with a smile: "Wait, put these away..."

After saying that, Xi Yao opened the void storage space, then took out the unicorn milk collected from the sacred land one by one, and placed them on the ground one by one.

More than thirty bottles of unicorn milk were placed on the ground. The white lotion gathered together and reflected the moonlight, creating an extremely weak lighting effect in the dark night.

"Oh, add the Soul of Flying." Xi Yao placed several bottles of Soul of Flying on the ground together.

Prism was shocked: "How many unicorns did you pull out?"

"There's nothing we can do. After all, spring has passed a while ago and the unicorns have given birth..." Xi Yao smiled.

"Then I'll take it away and give Azure the taste of her hometown." Prism was not polite. He expanded the backpack, opened it, and put the unicorn milk and the flying soul in it.

"Well, see you later." After saying that, Xi Yao closed the void storage space, and then walked slowly towards his home.

Looking at Xiyao's back, Prism muttered to himself: "Following him, can we actually defeat Jiaden's creation?"

...Although that mechanical worm is not as scary as I imagined, it is still... terrifyingly powerful... Prism thought to himself.

If he hadn't been attracting my attention, I would have definitely died in the laser net without any mobility...

Prism shook his head, then patted Blue gently to signal it to follow: "It's time to go back, Blue."

……

Elias slowly landed near the city of Miriast. He wiped the sweat off his forehead with his hand and took a long breath:

"Huh... I haven't used this power to fly for a long time. I'm a little uncomfortable with it..." While muttering to himself, the holy golden wings behind Elias suddenly shrank rapidly until they completely disappeared behind his back.

"It's better to be yourself..." After saying that, Elias took out the Destroyer's chip and looked at it carefully.

"Oh... my God... this chip actually has Jiaden's anti-counterfeiting mark... But, despite this, this is not a chip... but ten platinum coins!"

Elias talked to himself excitedly, and then walked towards the entrance of Miriast City...

……

In the city of Miriast

In a remote urban area, in a tavern called "Black Swan", the bartender Louis was carefully examining the chip in his hand...

...Just over ten seconds later...suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply, and even his hands trembled violently a few times, causing the chip in his hand to fall off and was about to fall onto the bar!

Seeing this, Elias, who was sitting opposite, immediately reached out to catch it, and then half-jokingly said, "Don't shake your hands, what if you break it?"

"This... this chip is real... Jarden's creation chip... You, you killed Jarden's creation?" After checking, Louis said in shock.

"Do I have to give you a fake one? Oh, and here are the ten platinum coins I agreed on!"

"This...are you really selling it to me?"

"Um...oh, I'm going to drink all night tonight!"

"Wait wait wait, tell me first, did you really defeat Jiaden's creation?!"

Elias shrugged: "No, it can only be regarded as picking up a loophole..."

"You picked up a leak... That is to say, when you encountered Jiaden's creation, someone had already defeated it?"

"He was about to be defeated... Anyway, I was able to get the chip only because of that guy."

"Who is it that has the ability to defeat Jiaden's creation... Is it the antique?"

"No, judging from the equipment, that guy seems to be in the early stage of the Evil Age... maybe, that is a... oh, no, there are two people... maybe, those are two new stars?"

"Rising star... If that's the case, then you're under a lot of competition..."

Elias shook his head: "Me? I don't have anything to compete for. I just want to live a good life... But, if possible, I really want to kill that man with my own hands..."

Sensing the murderous aura emanating from Elias, Louis immediately coughed lightly: "Ahem, well, do you want to try Nebula? It's a new flavor of wine..."

"...Okay... There's no one in the tavern now, so you can drink with me all night! The money for the drinks will be deducted from the ten platinum coins!" As he spoke, Elias' murderous aura gradually dissipated.

Louis breathed a sigh of relief and then began to mix a drink called "Nebula".

Elias still hates "him" to the core... Louis shook his head slightly, thinking so.
