"Brother, you are my true brother!"
Fei Qi almost wanted to throw away the Thunder Roar Battle Axe, clinging to Jiang Han's thigh and wailing loudly, "My sister doesn't have any treasures on her!"
"Hey, what are you saying? Can't we ask for treasures from our own younger sister?" Jiang Han smiled innocently.
"But..."
Fei Qi hesitated.
"If we lose the siege the day after tomorrow, no matter how good the treasures on your sister are, they'll be useless," Jiang Han stopped joking, his expression serious. "I, Jiang, will swear to the God of Oaths. In two months, I'll return treasures of equal value to your sister. I promise to fulfill it!"
Actually, he felt a bit excessive, but what if the treasures on Fei Qi's sister are the key to turning the tide in the siege?
Who can truly understand such matters?
If he misses the opportunity due to a moment of hesitation, it's a small loss for a big gain.
Fei Qi fell silent.
After a moment, he let out a sigh, no longer stopping Jiang Han, "My sister has a scroll left by the God of Time for future generations. I hope it can be of use."
Jiang Han clasped his hands, "Thank you for your understanding. I will not let you and your sister down!"
...
Leaving the Mayor's Mansion, Jiang Han rode the Blue Scale Beast to the square. Glancing around, he saw Liss and a woman in her fifties in a white robe healing the injured townspeople.
"Liss, remember, the affinity with light elements has nothing to do with the faction you belong to. Just because you're in the dark faction doesn't mean your healing effects will weaken," the woman advised seriously. "Look at those bishops, seemingly compassionate in front of people, who knows what deceitful things they're doing behind? Just be true to yourself."
"Mm-hmm."
Liss nodded, remembering the guidance.
For the almost-sacrificed girl, the woman's words were particularly profound.
"Liss!"
Jiang Han waved to her.
Turning her head, Liss's eyes lit up, "Big brother!"
"Let's call it a day for now. I'll handle the remaining injuries, you go," the woman said kindly.
"Thank you, Sister Orlia, for your guidance."
"Not at all."
...
After bidding farewell to her mentor, Liss happily bounced over to Jiang Han, "Big brother, why did you come to see Liss today?"
"Well..."
With a bit of reluctance, Jiang Han took out the Heavenly Spring Staff and said, "I want to exchange this staff for the treasures on you."
"Treasures?" Liss blinked, taking out a scroll from her bosom, "This scroll?"
Jiang Han took it and curiously checked the details—
[Time Reversal] (S-tier)
Introduction: One of the treasures left by the God of Time for future generations, containing a trace of the power of the God of Time.
Effect: Reverse time, go back to the past, and change the future.
(Note: Due to uncontrollable divine power, the time reversal duration is unpredictable, ranging from two minutes to at least ten seconds.)
Indeed, it was a treasure!
Used properly, it could be life-saving!
"If big brother wants it, Liss will give it to you. This staff is precious, and giving it to big brother might make Liss sad," Liss generously said, "As for the condition, regardless of the outcome of the siege the day after tomorrow, I hope both big brother and my brother will be safe and live a long life!"
"Ding!~"
System prompt: Do you accept the quest [Leave the Green Mountains]?
"No!"
Jiang Han refused.
Perhaps it was a good quest, but he wasn't truly without principles, only pursuing personal gain.
Squatting down, he ruffled the head of this innocent and romantic girl, laughing and scolding, "What nonsense are you talking? Big brother is not that petty. Moreover, we must win the siege. Take this staff, and in the future, I will return you something of equivalent value!"
Without hesitation, Jiang Han swore to the God of Oaths.
"Ding!~"
System prompt: You have received the quest [Equivalent Exchange]!
[Equivalent Exchange] (Difficulty: A)
Introduction: This is a choice you made for yourself. Not taking advantage of children is commendable.
Requirements: Gift the Heavenly Spring Staff of Dark Songstress Liss and return a treasure of equivalent value in the future.
Time Limit: 60 days
Quest Penalty: Obliteration
...
The content of the trade mission with Fei Qi was similar, with a 60-day time limit.
"Dark Songstress?"
Looking at the prefix "Dark Songstress" in the quest requirements for Liss, Jiang Han felt slightly surprised.
It sounded quite cool, not like a title an ordinary kid would have.
"Let me tell big brother a secret. In fact, Liss also has a special profession," Liss said proudly. "And it's more powerful than my brother's hidden profession. It's the only hidden profession!"
"Really?"
Jiang Han felt he might have underestimated this girl. The possessor of the only hidden profession should be extraordinary. Perhaps rescuing her would impact the subsequent plot.
With this in mind, he cast an Insight Eye on Liss—
[Dark Songstress·Liss] (Bronze-tier)
Level: 10
Life: 1,000,000
Attack: 500-550
Defense: 400-420
Skills: [Dark Patronage][Soul Purification][Holy Darkness][Dark Punishment]
Introduction: A pure-hearted girl with a clean soul, experienced a rough destiny, even if she steps into the dark abyss, she has no regrets.
...
"!!"
Jiang Han's eyes almost blinded.
Well, a level 10 Bronze-tier Priest's stats are so strong?
"Thank you for the generous gift, big brother," Liss waved the Heavenly Spring Staff, pointing it at Jiang Han. "May the protection of the Dark God be with you!"
"Swoosh!"
A faint light flowed out from the blue gem embedded in the staff, rushing into Jiang Han's body.
In an instant, Jiang Han felt refreshed, with a considerable increase in strength.
"Ding!~"
System prompt: You have obtained Dark Songstress·Liss's [Soul Purification], all attributes +10%, lasting three days!
...
Jiang Han was completely shocked.
Who is this girl?
"Can you use this staff now?" Jiang Han was puzzled.
The level requirement for the Heavenly Spring Staff is 80, but Liss seemed able to use it at any time.
"Liss is blessed by the Dark Patronage, ignoring all equipment wearing requirements," she shook the staff, her face showing seriousness. "Liss is also powerful. In the future, I will definitely help big brother!"
"Mm."
Jiang Han's heart warmed, nodding approvingly.
Once, Liss had said the same words, and he hadn't taken them seriously. Now he dares to guarantee that the future Liss will be an extraordinary existence.
Even...
He suspects that he went to rescue and ended up saving a future demon god!
Ignoring all equipment wearing requirements, this is beyond ridiculous!
...
Meanwhile, in a secret room of the Holy
See of Light.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh..."
A large amount of milky white energy appeared, swirling around Uriel, gradually restoring his strength.
Around him, eight bishop-level powerhouses continuously consumed light elements from their bodies.
At one moment, Uriel's six wings spread out behind him, opening his eyes, and a stream of golden light circulated, his strength soaring.
"Congratulations on reaching the Earth-tier, my lord," the eight bishops congratulated together, secretly amazed.
In just two days, he directly broke through the rank. If given some more time, what level would Uriel reach? It was unimaginable.
"No big deal."
Uriel's gaze remained calm and indifferent, showing no emotional fluctuations to their praises. "Wait until I kill the Dark Swordsman, use his blood to stimulate divine power, and become a god, it'll only take a moment."
At these words, everyone suddenly understood.
No wonder Uriel had come to exterminate the Dark Swordsman as soon as he arrived; there was this factor involved.
"But the Dark Swordsman is renowned in history after all..."
Some bishop felt uneasy. "If you wait a bit longer to recover, wouldn't it be easier to kill him?"
"Hmph!"
Uriel snorted disdainfully, "The creatures on the ground are weak as ants. The so-called Dark Swordsman, in your eyes, may be powerful, but in my eyes, he is just a slightly bigger ant. I will kill him effortlessly!"
