Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Xiao Xia Fan quit the group and teamed up with Brook again, and the two walked aside.

"What's wrong?" asked the shrimp fan. He could feel that Brook was hesitant to speak.

The two are currently talking in the team channel and others cannot hear them.

"Well, I need your help with something. By the way, I brought you some equipment. Take it first and don't forget it later." Brook handed the Dragon Slayer, the level 40 clothes, the Demon God Armor, and 5 sets of Demon Blood equipment to Xiaoxiami.

"Dragon Slayer! For me? Thank you! Where did you get it?" The shrimp fan was very surprised, he knew the value of the dragon slayer.

"From the treasure chest on the 7th floor of Bull Demon Cave on Cang Yue Island."

"Cang Yue Island? What is this place? I've never heard of it."

"Cangyue Island is located in the north of Mengzhong. It is an island in the sea. It may be open to the public in some time." Brook explained.

"I see. I've heard of the Dragon Slayer, which is said to be the ultimate weapon for warriors. Some people say that the chickens in the Unknown Dark Palace can explode, but I've never seen a chicken in the Unknown Dark Palace." said the shrimp fan.

"Yes. I also found this magic blood equipment there. Although the equipment attributes are average, it can increase the upper limit of health. It is suitable for mages. Let's give it to mages who need it."

"Okay! You said you wanted my help? What is it?"

"Um...Xia Mi, can you always be the mayor of Shabak? Always, for 6 years." Brook said.

"Ah?" Xiaoxia fans were confused by the question.

Being a city lord may seem impressive, but it can also be very tiring. They have to organize events, distribute salaries, resolve conflicts among guild members, recruit talented individuals, and respond to sieges from other guilds, as well as various other challenges that arise at any time.

Being a city lord once or twice is certainly no problem. But to do it for six years straight is a torment. It's definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

Brook had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain:

"There's a very important item in the possession of the Sand City's chief steward. This item is crucial to the Marfa continent. A guild must occupy Shabak, and they must occupy it for six years. If another guild seizes it midway, all our efforts will be wasted."

"You mean, the 'Former Alliance' must protect us for six years?"

"Yes. During this period, the 'Former Alliance' must continue to occupy Shabak and absolutely cannot lose it."

The shrimp fan looked at Brooke intently and asked, "Does it have to be like this? Six years is too long."

"Forget six years. I think six months is too long. But there's no other way. This item is vital to us. Please help me," Brooke pleaded. "You can ask for anything you need. We will help you solve any difficulties. I just ask you to help us."

"Brook, to be honest, I never thought I would stay in Marfa for so long. After all, this is just a game for us." Xiao Xiami said.

"You have helped me many times before. This seems to be the first time you formally asked me for help. 6 years? Okay, I'll try! But I can't guarantee that I can occupy Shabak all the time. I can only try my best." Xiaoxia fan said again.

"So you agree?!" Brooke said excitedly.

Xiao Xia Fan shook his head again. "Just me agreeing won't do the trick. Actually, I'm the owner of an internet cafe. If I stick with it for six years, I should be able to do it. But it all depends on the gaming company that runs Marfa. I can only hold on if Marfa remains viable."

Although Brook didn't understand what internet cafes, game companies, or maintaining operations were, he guessed that Xiaoxiami was referring to the bronze gate in the sky when the alien warriors descended. But he understood that Xiaoxiami was willing to help.

"As long as you stick to it, it'll be fine. Even if you fail, no matter what the reason, I will never blame you." Brook said.

"Okay. As long as the Marfa continent continues to exist, I will lead the "Alliance of the Past" to hold on. I promise you: Marfa will not fall, and the Past will not fall! This is my promise to you." Xiaoxia fans finally agreed.

"Marfa will never fall, and it will never fall! Well said! Thank you!" Brooke said gratefully.

"We are friends, so there's no need to thank me. I just hope that six years later, you can still find me and I can see you." Xiao Xia Mi said.

"You have to hold on, and I will live well too. Six years later, no matter where I am, I will come back to Shabak to find you." Brook said.

Six years is neither long nor short. But how many six years are there in a lifetime? Can I really stay in Marfa and hold on to Shabak forever?

Six years for Brook is equivalent to 6 years in Marfa. Marfa monks will encounter various life-threatening dangers. Will he still be alive at that time?

The two looked at the battlefield in front of them, seeing the dense swarms of red moon spiders pouncing on San Buzhi and the others, and seemed to feel unprecedented pressure; everyone held their formation, fighting the monsters without giving an inch, and seemed to feel their bodies filled with infinite fighting spirit and strength; in the end, the monsters were wiped out, and they felt the confidence of victory again.

I can definitely hold on.

I will definitely come back alive.

※※※※※※※

After saying goodbye to Xiao Xiami, Brook returned to Shabak City. Then he entered the palace and found the governor of Shabak City.

"Master Manager, I have already discussed with the city lord Xiaoxiami. We will do our best to protect it for 6 years. Please activate the Red Blood Formation." Brook said.

"Alright. Let's head to the center of the formation now. Don't move. We'll teleport in together." The Sand City steward said this, and with a bang, he cast a collective invisibility spell. It turned out he was a Taoist priest. Then, with a whoosh, the two of them teleported into a room.

Monsters were everywhere. To the east was the Bull Demon King, to the west was the Rainbow Demon Cult Leader, to the north was the Zuma Cult Leader, and to the south was the Woma Cult Leader. It was hard to see further, but Brook could sense there were even more powerful monsters.

The two of them were in the center of the room. It was surrounded by four stone pillars, which seemed to have a magical power that kept the monsters out, so there were no monsters in the center.

"Master Steward, where is this place?" Brooke asked in surprise.

"The Treasure Pavilion. This is the center of the Red Blood Formation." The steward of Sand City replied.

"The legendary treasure house? It's right under the city of Shabak?" Brook asked.

"That's right. But ordinary people can't enter. Even members of Shabak must be at level 46 or above to be allowed in."

"I heard that the legendary dragon fang can be found here. Rage Slash?"

"Yes. But the best weapon here is the Blade of the Overlord. There is a chance of obtaining it by defeating Ksitigarbha." said the steward of Sand City.

"The Overlord's Blade? How does it compare to the Dragon Slayer?"

"Each has its own merits and is equally matched."

"Oh."

"Sit cross-legged and hold the red blood bead in your hands. I will activate the formation."

Brooke followed the Sand City Steward's instructions and sat cross-legged in the center of the four stone pillars. He then took the Red Blood Pearl from the Sand City Steward and held it in his hands.

The Sand City Steward clasped his hands together and muttered, "Based on the Shabak Guild's 'Former Alliance,' guided by the Crimson Blood Pearl, and commanded by me, the Sand City Steward, the Crimson Blood Formation begins!"

There was a shaking around me, like an earthquake, and I didn't know what was happening. After a while, the ground finally calmed down.

Brook gathered his magic power into his eyes, Concentrate!

Brook saw the crimson array patterns around him, and saw how they were inextricably linked to the Crimson Blood Pearl. And he himself, no, more accurately, his title of "Former Alliance (Shabak)", became the foundation that supported the array and the Crimson Blood Pearl.

I see. No wonder the Former Alliance had to defend Shabak for the past six years. If it fell, the foundation would be gone, and the Blood Pearl and the formation would collapse, all previous efforts would be wasted.

"The formation has been activated. It's okay, get up." The steward of Sand City took the red blood bead back and put it back into the backpack.

"Master Manager, after the Red Blood Formation was activated, I saw that the title of "Former Alliance" also glowed faintly red. Is this okay?" Brook asked. When he used Condensation, he could see the red light on the guild title.

"It doesn't matter. This represents the connection between the guild and the formation. From now on, as long as they are within the range of the Red Blood Formation, the explosion rate of the members of the "Former Alliance" guild will be at least doubled when they kill enemies or are killed." The Sand City Manager explained.

Brook looked at the monsters around him again. These monsters could not find the two of them because they were not stealthy.

"Actually, the Lord of the First Generation City doesn't want Monk Mafa to enter the Treasure Pavilion. Not only are there a large number of monsters here, but there are also conflicts between people. If you must come, wait until you reach level 46." The Sand City Steward said, "Let's go back."

With a whoosh, the two were teleported back to the Shabak Palace.
