Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

In the woods not far away, a ball of blue light lit up.

The light spiraled like a veil and gathered in the woods, and a woman walked out.

She was plump and walked in a swaying, yet somewhat strange, way. Li Ang observed carefully and discovered that it was due to her pace. The points where her two feet landed were in a straight line, not as if it was intentional, but rather some kind of innate habit.

When he got closer, Li Ang could see her three-dimensional and slightly cold facial features, but with the help of her thick and long eyelashes and willow-shaped eyebrows, she showed a bit of softness, making her a mature beauty that was completely opposite to Zoe's type.

She was wearing a dark blue robe, and her curly hair that reached her waist and the pair of conspicuous animal ears on top of her head were also dark blue, fading to ice blue at the ends of her hair.

Is it the beast-ear tribe?

The Beast-Eared Tribe is one of the many intelligent races in Newbis. Their original name is the Taiyi Tribe, but the various races prefer to call each other by their appearance.

The characteristics of this race are a pair of animal ears and a slender body, and some branches also have animal tails.

They are more agile than other races, and can temporarily stimulate their physical potential, entering a state where both strength and speed are increased.

In this state, their blood will flow at a high speed and their body temperature will soar. In order to facilitate heat dissipation, their clothes are very cool, especially the backs are almost completely open.

But the woman who came out of the woods was wrapped in a long robe and did not look slim. The fruits between her arms trembled as she walked.

As if she had a purpose from the beginning, she went straight to Zoe's house, crossed the front yard, and knocked on the door.

"call--"

Zoe rolled over, completely unaware.

Li Ang pinched her face to wake her up, asked her to put on her equipment and hide in the corner, and then he walked to the front hall.

"who?"

He summoned his magic power and asked through the door.

The woman outside the door brewed her words for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Hello, I mean no harm."

"The cry of the newly born Star Soul resounded through the heavens, then quickly returned to silence, its power vanishing into the heavens. There was only one possibility for this situation—after eons of time, we had finally arrived at the opportunity."

The woman outside the door said, "On this island, the light of the star soul is everywhere, and they all converge in this house. You should know what I mean."

Through the door, her spirit had detected the inside of the house, but Leon did not sense any hostility.

Leon drew a spell to isolate spirits near Zoe's forehead, slowly opened the door, and came face to face with the woman from the "Beast Ear Tribe".

Her unusual amber pupils looked at Zoe through the door frame. She gave the girl a smile and bowed, scaring the little girl so much that she shrank back.

Then, she looked at Leon, who did not relax the magic pull, and her gaze stayed on him more.

"No wonder, it's you. With your involvement, no wonder the Earth Star Soul's reaction disappeared. Who are you..."

The woman paused for a few seconds and said, "Excuse me, I should introduce myself first. You can call me 'Eden'."

Li Ang nodded slightly. He just knew her name and even more information.

【Frost Wolf Iden [Human Form]】

[Combat Power Increase: 13%]

The woman in front of him was another star soul.

Perhaps only those who possess mysterious powers could transform into human form. Her combat power wasn't as strong as the Earth Serpent, or even Zoe's. It wasn't clear if it was because her human form lacked the powerful physique of her demonic form, or if it had something to do with "exhaustion."

"I won't hand her over to you." Leon protected Zoe and subconsciously thought about the combat power and response methods of both sides.

Although she appeared in a weaker humanoid form, it probably didn't mean to engage in battle.

Eden glanced back and forth between the two of them and said, "Please don't worry. I am only grateful."

She looked at Zoe and said, "When I sensed the opportunity at the easternmost edge of the Flores airspace, I was most worried about the newborn star soul so close to her. It would likely rely solely on instinct to plunder and devour her power, and our wait would likely continue for tens of millions of years.

Eden bowed again and said, "Thank you for your protection. Not only did you keep her from getting hurt, but you also helped her resonate with the Earth Star Soul."

"It's so big..." Zoe exclaimed in a small voice behind him.

What is this kid focusing on at this moment?

Li Ang gave her an unpleasant look and saw her sticking out her tongue.

When Eden bent down, the abundant fruit seemed to be hanging without any support. This situation was indeed rare for people outside the Horn Tribe, but -

"This is about you, be serious!"

"But I don't feel that this sister has any malicious intentions, right?"

When Zoe asked the last question, she turned to Eden. Leon saw the light in her eyes again, which seemed to be based on her instinctive judgment.

Eden also witnessed the runic light in her eyes, and his cold expression was filled with a relieved smile.

"I don't know your name." She asked as if she respected Zoe very much.

"He's Leon, and I'm Zoe."

"Meet Zoe, the Goddess."

Zoe hid half of her body behind Leon. Although she thought he meant no harm, she was shy. This was the first time she heard such a name and she had no idea how to respond.

Eden stated his purpose directly: "I came here to take the Son of God to the Star Palace."

"What place is that?" Leon asked.

Eden thought for a few seconds and said, "Not long ago, I fought against the evil ones above the island in my true form. You must have seen that mortals regard us as monsters. If that's the case, the Star Palace is defined as our lair."

"You sound even less credible that way."

"I will not deceive the Son of God or those around her. I refer to it as a lair to make it easier for you to understand. It is no different from any mortal building, except that it is bathed in the light of the Star Soul. There, I will help the Son of God control her true power."

"Maybe she doesn't need it? We have already subdued the Star Soul."

Eden raised his lowered head slightly. "Your help was crucial in enabling the Son of God to resonate with the Earth's Star Soul. I believe she was able to do this thanks to your assistance in receiving information about the Incubation Chamber. But with the passage of time and the fading of the sea, the information about the Incubation Chamber is likely to have become much more fragmented."

The woman's amber eyes stared at Zoe: "There are still hidden dangers in the Son of God."

40. Destined Mentor

"Hidden danger?"

"When the Son of God doesn't transform into a resonance form, I'm afraid he won't be able to freely mobilize the power of the star souls within his body."

Zoe really couldn't use the power of the Earth Serpent in her original form.

What Eden means is that this is not the way it should be.

"The opportunity of the ages has arrived. We have long awaited it and are willing to devote all our strength to the Son of God.

“If I can only use power when I resonate, I can only use the power of one star soul.

"Besides, the Earth Star Soul is only temporarily at peace. Lacking guidance, she is still in her ignorance and will unconsciously absorb the Son of God's power. If this continues, the Son of God will eventually weaken."

Li Ang patted Zoe's head and thought to himself.

The previous doubts about her opening plot as the "world heroine" have begun to be resolved.

The Eden in front of her should be Zoe's real novice guide and her destined mentor.

I'm afraid the original plot of "Newbis Fantasy" is that the Earth Serpent revived. Eden noticed this and when he came to check it out, he discovered Zoe, the "Star Soul Greenhouse", and took her away from the island.

He vaguely remembered that the design idea of the game was to have a big goal that drove the protagonist to visit one island after another. From this perspective, perhaps this was the mission that Eden gave to Zoe or the no longer existing Aidan.

And about the problem of the Earth Snake, Leon suddenly realized that the snake might not be the BOSS before and after the Novice Village period. It might be that Zoe knew her true fate and returned to the island to face it.

But now everything is different. She has conquered it in advance and she can go anywhere freely.

I just don't know how she would have trusted Eden in the original storyline. Perhaps game plots don't need to be so complex sometimes? Those without health bars can't be attacked, but those with health bars can be attacked.

Li Ang looked at the little girl: "What do you think?"

"Me? I don't know."

Zoe quietly hugged Leon's waist: "Didn't we agree to go on an adventure together? Big Sister doesn't seem like a bad person, but we just met her."

"look."

Leon said to Eden, "If she really is your son of God, shouldn't you respect her wishes? She doesn't understand this world yet. Maybe after she goes out and has some fun and understands things, it won't be too late to make a decision."

Eden looked at Zoe and said to Leon, "The Son of God and you now have a strong bond. We don't understand the level of human love and won't comment on it. I want to take her away, not to separate her from you.

"You can also visit my Star Palace and keep the Son of God company at all times. It is located in the Winter Rejection City on Frostsky Island."

"Winter Denial? I have friends there."

Li Ang smiled. Some of the people he had known in his early days of adventure lived there, such as the old leader of Soul Apex. When he retired, he said he was busy with his daughter's schooling. He wondered how she was doing now.

Friends say it's a wonderful place. Although the island is shrouded in frost and snow, a vast magical heating system lies beneath the city. The Frost Tower Church within the city is responsible for maintaining the array, mining minerals from the island's mountains to power the heating array, keeping the city snow-free for thousands of years.

"No wonder I felt like I'd seen the pattern on your robe somewhere before. Was it the Frost Tower Church, or was it just too long ago?"

Eden smiled and lowered his head: "I am unworthy of being the chief priest of the sect."

The citizens of Winter Rejection City have always said that the identity of the high priestess is mysterious. She always wears a veil and no one knows her true identity.

Li Ang shook his head: "That's perfect. I'll verify it with the local customs and practices on the island."

"Excuse me."

"Which restaurant is more accessible, Snow Terrace or Spring Garden?"

"the latter."

"The Church's recruitment and payment of mining teams."

"At the end of the third week of every month, the reward is 30,000 Adventure Coins."

“What are the three major specialties of the island?”

"Frozen spring shrimp, unmelted ice, and snow rabbit beast."

"Okay, let's do this for now."

Since I know a little bit of the plot, which means I have mastered some Meta elements, and my own experience in this world has verified it, I will not question her for the time being.

Li Ang asked Zoe, "Do you want to go and see it?"

"If going there can make me stronger, help Li Ang, and not separate from Li Ang, then, that's fine."

“There are delicious foods and fun things over there.”

The girl's eyes lit up: "What?"

"The shrimp and fish in the ice water are very delicious, and you can also ski and make snow sculptures."

"Then I'm going."

Although she looked like she only understood half of it, she could already grasp the fun of it.

There is also a Knights Guild on Frost Sky Island, and you can register a team there. It is a good opportunity to visit the old leader, and it feels like starting again from the previous starting point.

"That's great." Eden smiled. "The sooner the Son of God gains control of his power, the more prepared he will be to deal with the disaster if it strikes."

"Disaster? What is that?"

Eden remained silent.

"Why is she your opportunity? What is the Star Soul? Since you know so much, why don't you tell me? I can seek help through the guild."

Li Ang pointed at himself and said, "You have a human appearance. If you live in the air, you probably know a lot of things. The Sky Knight Guild is the one that sets the order in this sky.

"My name is Leon. I'm the 233rd ranked Great Knight in the entire sky. Among the tens of millions of adventurers, I'm considered quite influential."

For the sake of team affairs, Leon did not pursue personal rankings, mainly meaning that he did not deliberately squeeze into the top 100 to obtain the title of Paladin.

"Guild, Grand Knight... My disrespect, no wonder you were able to subdue the Newborn Star Soul."

Eden saluted and then shook his head. "However, this is precisely why I cannot tell you everything."
