The Almighty Ring

After making sure the ladies had left, Jiang Fei brought Isabella along as he began his journey.

The quest location was very far away from the City of Sinners. Basically, it was nearly at the border between the Neutral region and the Light Faction’s territory.

Jiang Fei would normally be very reluctant to go to such a place as it was far too close to the Light Faction. If he were to bump into a High-Tier Light Faction member, Jiang Fei would not even be able to run away.

However, the Dragon God’s punishment from failing the quest was too great. Jiang Fei’s Attributes would be reduced by half for a month and that was not something he could afford to play with. Therefore, Jiang Fei had no choice but to risk his life for the quest by getting close to the border of the Light Faction.

After a long hour and a half, Jiang Fei finally arrived at the quest location before the quest period ended.

“Mysterious person? Where is this mysterious person?” Jiang Fei flew around the quest location on the Juvenile Skygliding Dragon. However, he could not see any person around.

“Perhaps the person will only appear after we have landed,” Isabella suggested.

“That’s possible.” Seeing that the countdown for the quest period was approaching the end, Jiang Fei decided to descend from the Juvenile Skygliding Dragon.

“Is anybody there?” Jiang Fei asked.

Buzz! A white light flashed as a person appeared behind Jiang Fei in a black robe. The figure was not very tall and had similar features to Isabella. As the person was hidden in a huge black robe, Jiang Fei could not see his or her body shape and facial features.

“D*mn!” Jiang Fei was surprised by the fellow’s sudden appearance.

“Are you the Dragon God’s envoy?” The sound of the person in the robe was very soothing and sounded like a female’s voice.

“That’s right.” Jiang Fei nodded. He tried to observe the Attributes of the person in the black robe.

Mysterious Person (Unknown, Unknown)

Level: Unknown

Health Points: 100%

“D*mn! You truly are a mysterious person!” Jiang Fei rolled his eyes. He could not believe that the person was this absurdly mysterious.

“What did the Dragon God ask you to bring over?” The Mysterious Person asked Jiang Fei.

“Oh! Right, this is for you!” Jiang Fei retrieved the letter from the Dragon God and passed it to the Mysterious Person.

The Mysterious Person opened the letter directly in front of Jiang Fei.

After the Mysterious Person had skimmed through the contents of the letter, Jiang Fei noticed the person’s shoulder was shaking softly. Moreover, Jiang Fei could hear quiet sobs coming from the person.

“Oh… Are you alright?” Jiang Fei asked curiously.

“Yes, I’m fine…” Although the Mysterious Person sounded a little shaky, she quickly composed herself.

“Alright, I understand the Dragon’s God intentions. I will have to trouble you for what’s next,” the Mysterious Person said to Jiang Fei.

“Oh.” Jiang Fei nodded. When the Dragon God asked him to deliver the letter, Jiang Fei knew there was more to it than that. There would certainly be a continuation to the quest.

“Ding! The Mysterious Person has forced a quest upon you: Escort! Quest has been accepted!”

“Of course…” Jiang Fei rolled his eyes. It was another one of the compulsory quests. However, Jiang Fei contemplated the Mysterious Person’s status once again. After all, only those at or above the God level could assign compulsory quests. There were few exceptions for lower level NPCs to assign such quests and would usually have to be related to the storyline.

While Jiang Fei was still in a state of shock, another white light flashed next to the Mysterious Person. Another person in a black robe appeared next to her. The second person was of a similar height to the first and could either be a girl or a child.

Quest Name: Escort

Quest Description: Escort Mysterious Person 2 safely to the Naga’s headquarters.

Quest Reward: Unknown

Condition of Failure: Mysterious Person 2 dies or is more than 1,000 meters away from you.

Penalty of Failure: Level is reduced by 10. Reputation with Nagas is reduced to Indifferent.

“D*mn! The punishments are horrible! Could you actually be the bastard son of the Dragon God?” Jiang Fei yelled after seeing the renewed status of the quest.

“Ah…” Unexpectedly, the two Mysterious Persons gasped and stepped backward slightly.

“Sh*t, I was only kidding. Could I be right?” Jiang Fei became even more suspicious.

“Alright, you may leave now!” The first Mysterious Person ordered Jiang Fei after speaking softly to Mysterious Person 2.

“Alright, let’s get this over and done with!” Jiang Fei nodded.

“Pssst!” Jiang Fei summoned the Juvenile Skygliding Dragon.

“Are you able to sit on this?” Jiang Fei asked Mysterious Person 2. Some escorting quests were very strict and did not allow players to complete them using transporting tools and required them to walk. However, the distance between where Jiang Fei was at and the Naga’s headquarters was approximately 108,000 miles. If they were to walk, they would not be able to get there within a day.

Mysterious Person 2 nodded without saying anything. He then sat next to Isabella. There was still some space between him and Jiang Fei.

“Alright. As long as you can get on the ride.” Jiang Fei sighed in relief. If they could sit on the Juvenile Skygliding Dragon, they would be able to get to the Naga’s headquarters in less than three hours.

“Oh no! You must leave now!” The calm Mysterious Person started shouting frantically.

“What’s the matter?” Jiang Fei asked, confused.

“Stop asking! Leave now!” The Mysterious Person leaped into the air toward the Light Faction’s direction. At the same time, an angry sound came from the skies.

“You cunning scoundrel! Do you plan to embarrass our entire race before stopping?”

“D*mn!” When Jiang Fei heard the voice, he immediately steered the Juvenile Skygliding Dragon in the opposite direction.

He was all too familiar with the voice. When he had wooed Nina previously, this was the fellow who ordered for him to be captured and killed. This fellow was the leader of the Light Faction, the Divine Light God.

“What is the meaning of this? Are you trying to stop me?” The Divine Light God’s angry shouting could be heard even tens of miles away.

“You are so embarrassing. Why are you stopping me? Do you plan to send that bastard away?

“I’m telling you. What you are doing here is pointless. I would rather kill it than let our race’s bloodline be tainted!

“Get lost! Or else, don’t blame me for being merciless!”

The Divine Light God’s continuous shouting could be heard. The entire sky trembled before him. Clearly, he was very upset.

Although only the voice of the Divine Light God could be heard, the identity of the Mysterious Person was very clear now.

‘Not bad. Not only did he woo the lady, he even has her child now,’ Jiang Fei thought to himself as he felt even more amazed by the Dragon God.

“That must have been your mother, the Moon God, right?” Jiang Fei asked Mysterious Person 2 while they were all frantically escaping.

“…” Mysterious Person 2 remained silent as he sat next to Isabella.

“Sigh! It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me. Let’s focus on getting out of here alive. Your mother is still at the God level and should not be in danger.” Jiang Fei sighed as he continued to steer the Juvenile Skygliding Dragon away. After all, getting captured by the Divine Light God was no fun.
