Athos' words left Tony in awe.
As a person who has had a smooth life since childhood and whose family background is quite good, he has not experienced any major setbacks or hardships. At most, his girlfriend broke up more than once because he was too addicted to games.
He admired from the bottom of his heart the spirit of Athos and others who were willing to sacrifice everything for the future of future generations and the continuation of the race.
Seriously speaking, if he were to put himself in his shoes, he felt that he was completely unable to be like these people, willing to give up everything for the future of the race.
In his view, everyone is an independent self, and everyone has the right to choose. He has no need or obligation to dedicate everything he has.
Even if it's for a noble goal.
Of course, Tony had to admit that perhaps this was because he had not experienced the desperate situations these NPCs had experienced since he was a child, so naturally he could not truly realize the value of a good life.
It is precisely for this reason that I see the shining light in these people's eyes when they mention their ideals, their yearning when they talk about blue sky and white clouds, and the determination deep in their eyes that has long disregarded life and death. After that, Tony would be slightly moved.
That is the brightest glory of a race.
At this moment, Tony had almost forgotten that he was in a virtual game.
"Mr. Athos, I admire your awareness. It is my honor to meet you."
Tony said.
As soon as these words came out, Athos and others were flattered. They waved their hands repeatedly and said respectfully:
"No, Sir Tony, we are the ones who want to thank you. Without you, we might have died at the hands of monsters long ago."
"The road ahead is not smooth, but as long as we keep walking, we will be one step closer to the light."
"Sir Tony, I have a lot to ask of you in the days to come."
After hearing what Athos said, Tony looked solemn.
He nodded solemnly and said:
"I will. I will complete this **** journey with you all and successfully deliver the energy-gathering core to Dawn Fortress!"
The eyes of Athos and others became even more grateful.
Mireira pulled back her somewhat messy hair and showed a sweet smile:
"I heard that after the Cataclysm, Dawn Fortress was the only place in the entire Western Continent where you could see the sunrise. I hope that we can watch the sunrise there together in a month... I haven't seen it for many years. It’s sunrise.”
"Hey, it's not just the sunrise! I heard that Dawn Fortress has a lot of delicious elf-style food. You must try it when the time comes!"
The strong Bols laughed.
“I’d also like to order a piece of ale! It’s been a long time since I’ve tasted alcohol!”
Lamis licked the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of yearning.
"Haha, when the task is completed, let's have a drink together! Watch the sunrise together!"
Athos laughed.
The laughter of several people was very heroic, adding a bit of life and vitality to the dark and silent wilderness.
Even Tony, who is more introverted, couldn't help but be affected and started laughing.
"When the time comes, I'll treat you!"
He patted his chest.
That is the confidence to receive half a million contribution points.
"Haha, Sir Tony, when the time comes, we won't be polite!"
Athos smiled.
"Hey, Sir Tony, I'm very good at eating!"
Boers also showed a simple smile.
"Let's have a drink together!"
Lamis waved his fist.
After laughing, everyone quickly calmed down. Athos looked at the sky with a solemn look:
"That's almost it, let's go on."
"Well, let's go!"
Tony and the other people said in unison.
So, a long journey began.
……
The sky in the western continent is as dark as ever.
The thick clouds are constantly rolling, and the howling wind seems to carry a bit of decay, which is the residual smell of the pollution of the abyss...
Tony and Athos headed eastward and kept moving forward.
They crossed the plains, they crossed the rivers, they climbed the mountains...
Day after day passed, and the group walked farther and farther.
And Tony gradually gained a deeper understanding of the Western Continent of the Dawn World.
This is an extremely vast continent with extremely complex landforms.
Not only that, judging from the ruins passed along the way, human civilization was also extremely prosperous before the catastrophe.
The majestic cities on the plains, the spectacular castles in the hills, the fortresses standing on the mountains, and the towering mage towers...
All of this gradually outlined a prosperous and rich magical medieval world in Tony's mind.
However, after the disaster, everything was in ruins.
Only ruins are left, as well as fallen creatures wandering among the ruins.
The lush forest has corrupted into dead wood and devil forest, and even the docile monsters have turned into crazy monsters.
The once prosperous world has turned into a **** with crises hidden everywhere...
Especially those who escaped the Great Purge when the goddess' power came, or the high-level fallen creatures that evolved after the Great Purge.
That is the real gold level. Although it is very rare, it still exists. Along the way, Tony has seen it with his own eyes more than once.
There is a giant humanoid monster with a body as strong as a hill, pus flowing all over the body, a terrifying breath, and a ferocious appearance.
There is a poisonous dragon that is surrounded by black mist, spits poison, and has barbs all over its body.
There are also groups of bloodthirsty ants that may seem weak, but once provoked, they will soon be attacked relentlessly and endlessly.
There are also vines that look like dead vines, but once they get close, they will instantly wrap around them and **** their prey into mummies...
The world is already vast and chaotic, and there are dangers everywhere.
If you are not careful, you may be in danger.
Fortunately, Athos and the others seem to have quite a lot of experience walking in the wild.
Especially the mage Miriel.
She seems to have very rich experience in walking in the wild, and her prediction of danger is extremely accurate.
Although the team is vaguely headed by Athos, in fact Athos only decides the departure and rest time every day, and the specific route selection along the way is decided by Miriel.
Under her leadership, the group of people avoided crises that could destroy the entire team again and again, and no one died.
Of course, this is also inseparable from Tony's joining.
With his once-a-day silver skill [Eagle Strike], the team's combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. Many times they encountered monsters that several people could not deal with. Everyone worked together to delay time and create opportunities for Tony to strike a fatal blow. , and ultimately won.
As for Tony, he gradually became familiar with the battle rhythm of "Elf Kingdom" through battle after battle. At this time, he suddenly realized how lucky he was to win the first sneak attack when he fell from the sky.
That time, it was all luck.
Tony's level also skyrocketed through level-up battles.
Although the subsequent group of people did not encounter enemies as powerful as the last monster, after a week of progress, Tony's level also rose to level 40.
This is already the pinnacle of Black Iron's ascendance, and if it goes one step further, it will be the real Silver.
At this moment, his strength has surpassed Athos, the strongest in the team, and he has become the real number one.
Athos and others looked at Tony with more respect and awe.
His unprecedented promotion speed shocked them.
As time goes by, the group's progress has accelerated significantly. In recent days, the daily progress has been nearly twice as fast as in the early days.
However, just when Tony excitedly thought that this was a benefit brought by the change in his strength, Milaire's words poured a bucket of cold water on him, making him realize with some embarrassment that it was because of some changes in his strength. So sentimental:
"There should be other gathering points in this area. I have observed traces of human activities. Not only that, the monsters should also have been cleaned up, otherwise... our journey will not be so smooth."
As expected, in the following days, they encountered other human gathering points.
It is not so much a gathering point as a dirty stronghold built by a group of people with the ruins of the city as its core.
The group did not stay at the stronghold for too long. They just replenished some supplies and continued on the road.
This made Tony a little curious. He originally thought that Athos and others would recruit more people at the stronghold.
But then, warrior Ramis explained why he did not stay too long to replenish manpower:
"The world after the cataclysm is extremely chaotic. Although the appearance of the goddess Mianxia brings hope to people, not all gathering points are worthy of belief..."
"The magic energy gathering core has many functions, the most important of which is to build a city defense barrier, which has a fatal attraction for every gathering point..."
"We... don't dare to gamble."
Tony suddenly understood why after several people entered the passing gathering point, they showed more vigilance than in the wild, and even asked Tony to cover up, it is best not to expose the Elf Chosen One easily. identity.
In this dark age, it is not just monsters that are in danger, but also the same kind.
At the same time, looking at the sallow and emaciated people in the dilapidated gathering points, Tony also understood more and more why Athos and others were so persistent in completing this task.
Once you have seen darkness, you will long for light even more.
As Tony and his team continued to advance, the Chinese players who were leading them also came at a faster speed, using Tony's shared position as a guide.
Tony observed the speed of both parties and made a rough calculation.
According to this process, the two sides will be able to meet in half a month at most.
"Hey... there are too many powerful monsters here. Although the goddess has cleared high-level monsters once before, the pollution has always been there. Recently, many monsters have evolved. It seems that the pollution of the abyss is stronger, even if We also have to be careful..."
"Especially recently, the sky has been unstable. It is said that there are demon crows and blood bats. If they are entangled, the number... tsk tsk, even we will have to drink a pot."
"Otherwise, with this distance, we can fly over and find you in three days."
Yeye complained in the team channel.
"Fly? Mr. Yeye, can you fly?"
Tony was very curious.
"Harmful, just a flying monster."
Yeah replied.
"Flying monster? Can I see it? What kind of monster is it?"
Tony became even more curious.
However, Ye Ye became naughty:
"Haha! Don't rush, don't rush, just wait and see, you will know when the time comes!"
Tony:......
As the days passed, he sometimes communicated with everyone in the **** team, and sometimes chatted with two Chinese players.
Gradually, he became more and more familiar with several people, and in the end, he even became brothers with his two teammates from the Celestial Dynasty.
At the same time, with the continuous in-depth communication, he also learned about the past of Athos and others.
Every member of the **** team has a story behind him.
According to Athos, before the Cataclysm, he used to be the familiar breeder and mage tower servant of an archmage whose strength reached the upper level of Silver.
At that time, as a servant of the Archmage, he was relatively well-known in his city. Although his wife passed away early, he still had a lovely daughter and a son who was quite talented in magic.
His daughter married a local knight, lived a happy life, and gave birth to a pair of lovely twin girls.
His son, at the age of twenty, broke through to the silver level and was called a magic genius once in ten years by the Archmage.
The Archmage spoke highly of him, saying that as long as his son learned magic step by step, it would be no problem for his son to become a gold-level mage. In the end, he might even enter the Royal Mage Corps and become a court mage.
Not only that, the Archmage also wrote a letter of recommendation recommending his son to the Imperial Academy of Magic for further study.
Athos was very proud of his son.
Of course, Athos also likes his two lively and lovely granddaughters.
Besides his daily work, what he likes most is to go to his son-in-law's manor to accompany his granddaughter after get off work or vacation.
The two granddaughters resemble their mother in appearance, they are very cute and charming, sweet and innocent, well-behaved and obedient, always making him laugh.
If it weren't for the Revolution and Cataclysm, Athos might have lived such a happy life.
"Revolution?"
Tony was stunned.
"It was a religious revolution, initiated by the former Eternal Church. However... not long after the victory of the revolution, the catastrophe occurred, and all the believers who participated in the revolution turned into monsters overnight."
Athos sighed.
Speaking of this, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes:
"My daughter died at that time. She and my son-in-law also participated in the revolution, and they both turned into monsters... In the end, I killed them with my own hands."
At this point, he closed his eyes gently, and tears seemed to flash from the corners of his eyes.
"What about...your granddaughter?"
Tony couldn't help but ask again.
"Dead too."
Athos sighed.
"They were killed by monsters while escaping. I failed to protect them..."
His voice was choked.
