Chapter 1078: Chapter 494: The Gradually Harmonizing History_2

Mu You had been closely observing the reactions of the three fairies.

Tina and the fairy girl, under the detailed description of the Watchman, both exhibited expressions of being ’dumbfounded’—it was clear they believed most of what was said.

But the most critical, Ormedo, maintained expressions of ’frowning’ and ’pondering’ throughout, clearly still skeptical, trying to find holes in the Watchman’s story.

Unfortunately, there could be no holes since everything the Watchman said was from his own experiences.

Despite this, Ormedo remained doubtful until the Watchman moved from the past to the present, mentioning what he had seen and heard about Fuya. Ormedo, maintaining a ’skeptical’ expression for over two hours, finally shifted to ’shocked.’

"You just said what? Brilliant City?" Ormedo suddenly interrupted the Watchman.

The Watchman looked at him strangely, "Yes, the future Bitter Garden is divided into three factions, one being the Land of Calamity, another Rose Duchy, and one Radiant Holy City, with the main city now being Falling Flower City, renamed in the future as ’Brilliant City’..."

"Brilliant City... Brilliant, you actually know this name..." Ormedo suddenly became agitated, tears in his eyes, muttering to himself incessantly.

"What about this name?" Tina asked curiously.

"Brilliant City was a name originally envisioned by the king, as he felt ’Falling Flower’ had a bad implication for the Fairy Race. If there were a chance in the future, he hoped to change it to something more optimistic, like the City of Brilliance... and he only ever shared this with me, never publicly..." Ormedo reminisced deeply.

Tina, surprised, looked at you and the Watchman, "Are you really people from the future?"

"Guaranteed genuine," the Watchman said with a smile.

After pondering alone for a moment, Ormedo quickly regained his composure and, after serious thought, looked at you solemnly, "All right, I believe you are from the future! Please tell me, what do you need?"

Mu You finally breathed a sigh of relief at this point.

He hadn’t expected the Watchman’s lengthy explanations to be ineffective, and instead it was the seemingly insignificant name ’Brilliant City’ that unexpectedly convinced Ormedo...

Mu You shook his head; regardless, it mattered that Ormedo now believed. Things would be much easier going forward.

Mu You directly made his request in the game.

You told Ormedo that due to the constraints of time and space, you could only stay here for less than four days, after which you would return to your original world.

And within these four days, you needed to investigate the root cause of the disturbances amongst the Fairy Race to speculate on what might happen next. Currently, all clues pointed towards the ’Dark Cavern,’ and next, you planned to investigate the situation there.

As you finished speaking, a sudden intense sadness surged within you, coming from you and the Contractor.

You turned instinctively, catching the fairy girl’s somber expression. Facing your gaze, she quickly forced a slight smile, but the underlying sorrow and bitterness were evident to anyone.

"Dark Cavern, do we really need to go there..." Ormedo said with a bitter smile and a shake of his head, "It’s a pity I am too old now, my body unable to accompany you to the Dark Cavern. Moreover, fairies cannot approach the Dark Cavern, I fear you will have to go on your own. All I can do is help distract the guards along the way..."

After speaking, Ormedo took out a rolled-up map and handed it to you, "I also have a map of the Dark Cavern here, but only parts explored by previous expeditions. I hope it can be of help to you..."

You received an ’incomplete map of the Dark Cavern.’

Mu You was pleased to see this, realizing the benefits of opening dialogue—the map was precisely what he urgently needed.

"Besides this, I can arrange for one of my disciples to accompany you. She was also a member of the expedition team and has been to the Dark Cavern a few times with me. With her guidance, your journey ahead might be a bit easier."

After Ormedo finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment and then added, "But in return, I hope if you have the chance, you could help me look for the king. If you find the Fairy King, please ensure to bring him back. As a reward, afterward, I will offer you what you Fools need most."

"What Fools need the most?"

Mu You was startled when he was still wondering what that could be, a mission prompt suddenly appeared.

You triggered a special mission: Search for the Disappeared Fairy King.

Mission details: Travel to the Dark Cavern within four days and find Fairy King Orans the Blessed One, who disappeared eight hundred years ago, and bring him back.

Mission reward: A model schematic of the Bitter Garden.

"Model schematic?"

Mu You was surprised; it was really that?

"Model schematic?" the Watchman exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, isn’t this exactly what you Fools need most?" Ormedo said, "The model schematic of Sky City is a treasure that the king had entrusted to me many centuries ago. Over the centuries, you Fools have tried many times to contact me to buy this schematic from me, but I never agreed. If you bring the king back alive to me this time, I will hand over this schematic to you!"
