Pillar of Yita

He never expected that his casual guidance would lead the other onto this path. Actually, when he spoke to Miya before, he felt a bit guilty inside—after all, who would teach a ’student’ above the community?

R lightly shook his head, perhaps never imagining he would have such a student.

But what could he do? He sighed, thinking he couldn’t just stand by and watch his half-baked student be crushed like a little chick. That would be too humiliating for him. He sighed again, thinking this time he had to show some of his best skills.

Only then did R silently look forward.

A long Light Page unfolded before him, filled with a dense list from top to bottom, recording many names and a heap of dazzling terms and data. Above the list title, there was a small line of text:

’Swift Tactics, Data Record—’

On the other side.

Miya had not intervened in the conversation between the two right from the start; she only quietly waited for Fang Hong to make a decision. Her silver pointed ears slightly twitched, and then she turned around, softly calling in her heart:

”Luoluo?”

A snoring voice sounded in her mind: ”Snore, nap time... Please do not disturb.”

”Luoluo.” Miya’s voice took on a more serious tone.

After a moment, a sleepy Little Fairy appeared on the Witch of the Sea’s shoulder, kneeling there, her long hair green as leaves, tied into a lively ponytail. She rubbed her eyes with her small white hands and stretched long and lazy.

Then she looked up, dazedly at Miya: ”What’s up, what’s up, didn’t Luoluo miss anything, right?”

Miya looked at the quirky little being and patted her small head: ”Luoluo, help me analyze.”

The Little Fairy panicked and looked around: ”Ana, analyze, are there enemies?”

”No, please help me open the Dragon Knight System, Luoluo.”

”Eh?” The Little Fairy’s gaze finally shifted through the communication window to see Fang Hong on the other side. She gasped in surprise: ”It’s that idiot, isn’t he dead yet?”

”Luoluo, you’re not allowed to say Ade is an idiot.”

”Eh, but he really is so dumb, eh.”

”Luoluo—”

...

Inside the live broadcast room, a group of people were clamoring that the camera position was too skewed, they couldn’t see anything. Qing frowned and adjusted the recording window’s position; fortunately, the position couldn’t capture his expression, or the club would scold him again.

But actually, he didn’t like doing such things at all, and the fans’ barrage left him speechless; in their mouths, he was practically stomping Odin and punching Ye Hua, though there were also those who mocked him and stirred up drama.

Yet it was precisely because of these people that the broadcast room was such a mess. However, even if the room was orderly, he wouldn’t care. Qing understood his position well, neither at the top nor the bottom.

This is exactly the so-called middle layer of the Pyramid.

After adjusting the position, the crowd finally quieted down slightly, but soon began discussing the ’Dragon’s Alchemist’. Qing no longer bothered looking at these things and felt no disturbance in his heart; that so-called ’Dragon’s Alchemist’ was just a casual nickname circulating among the community.

It was far from the official honorary titles granted by the Super Competitive League and lifelong honor titles. These ’nicknames’ could be born in the community a few hundred times a day, even dozens, but vanished like bubbles almost instantly.

Especially for most Invokers, if one couldn’t consistently impress, the topic’s heat would soon cool off. With people’s forgetfulness, today they’d praise you to the skies, tomorrow they’d discard you like an old shoe.

After floating at this level for a few years, he understood this fact even more, although he originally saw it clearer than most. Who would remember the ’Dragon’s Alchemist’ tomorrow?

He had no surplus views on Fang Hong, just that the success of an Invoker has many types, and he was somewhat curious about how the other grew to this point in such a short time. He had seen the video of the other confronting Qin Zhi of Silver Shadow; clearly showing the other’s immaturity.

Compared to the performance in the Fanric video, it was like night and day.

Indeed, he actually had some speculations. Shortly before, a special order sent from headquarters also vaguely confirmed these guesses. The order was quite simple, merely instructing him to capture the other alive if possible.

But he understood the meaning behind the order immediately.

Qing, after all, counted as one of the high-level figures within the Descendants of Flor, as a captain, this identity was enough to allow him access to things others did not know. At least the moment he saw the order, another term surfaced in his mind:

Hailin Crown.

After the Witch of the Sea left the Elf Ruins, Flor’s upper echelons circulated two theories, one being that the Witch of the Sea played everyone and secured the Hailin Crown from the Jiefulite Red Cloak Team.

The other possibility being that the Hailin Crown, due to a chance encounter, remained in the hands of Morning Dawn Star. But neither the Witch of the Sea nor Morning Dawn Star had publicly discussed this afterward.
