Terraria: Cruel World Legends

When the prism arrived at the south of Dongfang Town, it saw Xi Yao standing on the grass not far away looking at a hand-drawn map. It was the map of the Terra continent drawn for him by the guide Andrew.

Last time, after the trip to the Sunken Sea, Xi Yao found Prism and asked her for her map, and marked some of the names and locations on it on the hand-drawn map.

Then Prism walked over and was about to call him down, but Xi Yao seemed to have noticed her coming and turned around. After seeing Prism, he rolled up the map in his hand.

"Ready?"

"Yeah." Prism nodded, and then saw Xi Yao bend down and turn on the sprint mode of Terra's Shining Boots.

"Let's go then. Follow me closely. I will fly non-stop." After saying that, Xi Yao turned to the south and started running... After a few seconds of running, Xi Yao flew into the sky again.

Prism followed closely behind Xi Yao, keeping her eyes on him at all times...but soon, she shifted her gaze to an artificial structure below.

Looking down, at a square venue, a three-story transparent platform on its edge, and the scaffolding supporting the platform, Prism couldn't help but wonder: "Is this... the battle arena you built?"

"Yes. By the way, even though it looks unstable, I used a string beam as support between the scaffolding and the glass platform, and nailed their contact surfaces firmly together. I even asked the construction team to take a look, and they all said it was very solid."

Prism nodded, then turned to look at Xi Yao, and then followed him flying attentively.

...After about twenty seconds, the flight time was up, and then Xi Yao began to glide down in the air, and the prism quickly followed his rhythm.

……

At the same time, in Miriast City, in a house in a residential building——

Louis, the bartender of the Black Swan Tavern, used ingredients from his own home to mix a glass of wine called "Red Rose", then poured it into a glass and handed it to Elias who was sitting in the living room.

"Yes, please give me your red rose." Louis said.

Elias didn't reach out to take it, but looked at Louis with a smile: "I'm not used to drinking during the day, it's okay for you to treat me at night. Well, why did you call me here in broad daylight?"

"Oh... that's the thing. Yesterday, didn't the Terra Federation send someone to invite the leaders of our country to attend a meeting this afternoon? I got some information based on the news."

"Oh? Tell me about it?"

"...This meeting was held around the information of a chip...and that chip was the Destroyer chip you bought for me before."

"So... once this transaction chain came about, the Terra Federation finally bought the chip?"

Louis shook his head: "Neither the organizer of this meeting nor the ultimate owner of the chip is the Terra Union. The Terra Union is just the venue for the meeting... The organizer of this meeting and the ultimate owner of the chip is... uh..."

Louis was a little hesitant about whether to say those four words, but at this time Elias seemed to have noticed something. He picked up the wine glass, drank all the wine in one gulp, and then closed his eyes lightly: "It's Inarstein, right?"

"Uh... um..."

"So? What you mean is... in the transaction chain of this chip, the other traders in the middle, including you, are all middlemen. So in a sense, it was me who sold the chip to Inastan, not a certain trader, right?"

"You are very smart, Elias...but I am not trying to expose your scars. I am simply asking you...what do you think about this?" Louis said softly.

"...So what? What I hate most is that cold-blooded man and that damn family, not the country of Inastan." Elias said, and was about to take another sip of wine, but when he saw the empty glass, he put it down silently.

“…uh…but…well, it’s okay…” Louis wanted to say something but stopped himself…He knew that he could not continue to tell Elias what happened next.

"...Well, see you at the bar tonight, and be ready to make cocktails for me all night long!" After a moment's silence, Elias said to Louis with a smile, then got up and left.

………………

South of Terra Continent——

After having a simple lunch in Nanqingcheng, the capital of Inastan, Xiyao and Prism did not stop. After leaving Inastan, they continued to fly towards the location of the Terra Federation.

As Xi Yao expected, the prism remained almost silent while in Inastan. Xi Yao did not say much, but tried to shorten the time he stayed in Inastan.

After leaving the country, Xi Yao took the prism and continued to fly towards the Terra Federation.

...They didn't fly too long. After gliding over a mountain range, Xi Yao saw a dense forest not far away. In the forest, there was a very open area of ​​hills with not very undulating terrain.

The most eye-catching thing among these hills is a large-scale dodecagonal building.

From a distance, this twelve-sided building is not that high, and it looks like only about fifty meters. In the center, there is a small twelve-sided space, which looks like a small park with some green plants planted in it.

The two landed on the top of a mountain. Xi Yao took out the map and compared it with the terrain in front of him... Then he was sure that the Terra Federation was right in front of him.

After putting the map into the void storage space, Xi Yao took out the invitation, then looked at his pocket watch and found that it was 1:46 p.m., which was still a long time before 3:00 p.m.

"If I had known, I would have left later... But now that we're here, we might as well go in and take a look first." Xi Yao said to Prism, then glided down from the top of the mountain.

"Okay." Prism replied. Of course she also wanted to go in and take a look, and then she glided behind Xi Yao.

……

As the two of them saw when they were in the air, the Terra Union Headquarters Building is a dodecagonal building with an entrance and exit in the east, south, west and north of the entire building, a total of four gates, so the Terra Union Headquarters is also called the Four-Gate Building.

However, the Terra Federation did not set up any defenses in the four-gate building, and only randomly deployed a few unequipped security personnel to guard each door... This made Xi Yao very confused.

Although they were confused, they still had to go in. Then they walked to the gate to the north of the Four-Gate Building, which was also the gate closest to them.

Xi Yao handed the invitation to the security guard. The security guard took it, glanced casually at the lower right corner, and then threw the invitation into a portable shredder beside him, and motioned Xi Yao and Prism to go in.

Seeing this, Xi Yao immediately felt that the Terra Federation’s awareness of prevention seemed to be too poor... But this was not a bad thing for him. On the contrary, if the procedure was too complicated, it would be too time-consuming.

Then the two of them walked into the Terra Federation headquarters. As soon as they entered, Xi Yao looked at the interior of the building, which was full of international structure, and felt a sacred and inviolable majesty.

Here, Xiyao also saw some other people sitting on chairs discussing some topic. Xiyao knew that they were also invited guests.

Moreover, these people have one thing in common, that is, they all wear armor but not helmets, just like Xi Yao and Prism.

There is a reason for doing this, because if a complete set of battle armor is not worn, its special effects will not be triggered, which can serve as a proof of friendliness and safety.

This is the highest etiquette of Terra, known as the Half-Armor Ceremony.
