142: Three-eyed people (1/3)

“Finally, I found a Monarch-level NPC.”

Li Si blended into the group of Korean players and saw the old man described by everyone. The old man had disheveled gray hair and was sound asleep leaning against a Ginkgo Tree.

“Eye of Illusion Breaking.”

“Whoosh—”

The old man’s attribute list appeared before his eyes.

[Mysterious Old Man] (Legendary Monarch)

Level: 99

Attributes: ????

Talents: ????

Skills: ????

Description: A Mysterious Old Man of unknown origin, no one knows his identity, no one knows his background. His whereabouts are erratic, traveling around various War Zones.

The simple attribute description revealed extraordinary information.

“This old man is not ordinary.”

“The Eye of Illusion Breaking couldn't even see his additional information.”

This meant that the old man's true strength might exceed the Legendary tier, or there might be other possibilities, such as the old man deliberately hiding it.

Just as Li Si was pondering, the old man opened his eyes without warning.

“Whoosh—”

His figure flickered, and the old man's silhouette disappeared from under the Ginkgo Tree, reappearing about five meters in front of Li Si. His eyes glowed with golden light, shooting directly at Li Si. The golden pupils were like X-rays, seemingly wanting to see through his heart and bones.

After observing, the old man nodded with satisfaction, then said, “Young man, what is your name?”

“Me, is it me?”

Li Si was utterly shocked, thinking: Has 55 points of Charm already become this powerful?

The surrounding Korean players were all dumbfounded.

“xi ba! Why him?”

“This kid clearly didn’t do anything!!”

“Who has detection abilities? See who this kid is?”

“His ID is Han Yu, and he’s Level 34.”

“Level 34?”

“A mere Level 34, why would a Monarch NPC favor him?”

“xi ba—I’m not convinced!”

“……”

The Korean players chattered incessantly, every word filled with strong displeasure and jealousy. Why wasn't it them? Why was it this kid?

“Noisy!” The old man's brows furrowed in anger.

In an instant, brilliant golden light burst forth, instantly killing the surrounding players. The area around the Ginkgo Tree immediately became empty, leaving only the old man and Li Si.

“Young man, tell me your true name, your name from the Blue Star World.”

“Uh….”

Li Si was silent for a moment, then spoke bluntly: “Li Kuangtu.”

“Good name.”

The old man nodded slightly, then said, “You and I are fated. Would you be willing to help me with something?”

“Of course, but before that, I have a question,” Li Si said.

“Ask.”

“How to cross national borders and reach the Da Xia War Zone.”

“How to go to Kyushu?” The Da Xia War Zone, as referred to by players, was called Kyushu in the eyes of NPCs. And the Goryeo War Zone also had its own place name, called Silla Peninsula.

“Exactly, I want to go to Kyushu.”

“The method to go to Kyushu is simple. Once this matter is concluded, I can take you to Kyushu,” the old man said indifferently.

“Deal.”

Li Si quickly agreed.

Now only immortality remained. As long as he remained immortal, he could complete Wind Trace’s task.

“I am a descendant of the ancient Three-Eyed Clan.”

The old man’s first sentence shocked Li Si. Wasn't the Eye of Illusion Breaking precisely from the ancient Three-Eyed Clan? No wonder the old man favored him. It seemed it was due to the Eye of Illusion Breaking.

“Your guess is correct. The reason I chose you is precisely because of your eyes, the secret art of the Three-Eyed Clan,” the old man slowly said, as a vertical eye emerged on his forehead.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations! You have triggered a hidden quest—Kalsooth’s Yearning (Star Rating Fluctuating).]

[Kalsooth yearns for his homeland and hopes you will go to the Three-Eyed Clans Origin Land to retrieve the sky eye stone for him. Upon completing the quest, you will receive generous rewards.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained the quest item: Teleportation Scroll to the Three-Eyed Clans Origin Land (Special).]

“Why don't you retrieve the sky eye stone yourself?” Li Si felt a bit strange.

“You'll know if you look at the scroll,” the old man slowly said, then turned and returned to under the Ginkgo Tree, closing his eyes to rest again.

Scroll?

Li Si lowered his gaze to the golden parchment page in his hand.

[Teleportation Scroll to the Three-Eyed Clans Origin Land (Special)]

Type: Consumable Item

Effect: Tearing the scroll will teleport the user to—the Three-Eyed Clans Origin Land. Usage Requirement ①: Age under 100 years old. Usage Requirement ②: Possess any one of the Three-Eyed Clan’s divine secret arts.

Description: This is an ancient scroll, usable only by a limited group of people.

“So that’s how it is.”

Li Si suddenly understood, and the doubts in his heart disappeared.

“Pop—”

The ancient scroll shattered at his fingertips, and brilliant golden light enveloped a hundred meters around the Ginkgo Tree, after which Li Si’s figure abruptly vanished.

The scene shifted, and a quaint, ancient village appeared in his vision.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations! You have arrived at the hidden area—Three-Eyed Clans Origin Land (Level 1 - Level 101).]

[Description: The birthplace of the ancient Three-Eyed Clan, hidden in the boundless void, isolated from the world, inaccessible to outsiders.]

“This—”

“Level 101—”

Li Si’s pupils suddenly contracted.

Level 99 corresponds to Monarch Perfection, Level 100 corresponds to Mythical Tier, and Level 101 corresponds to True God Tier. These were his summarized experiences; although not necessarily precise, they were likely close to the truth.

Because the Level 101 flowing light starfall hammer was of True God quality. It was also the only True God quality item Li Si had ever seen, excluding Sacrifice for All Living Beings, as Sacrifice for All Living Beings had no level.

And at this moment, “Buzz—”

Space shifted, and a player in a white robe landed on the ground.

It was him?

Li Si recognized the person, Hand of God from the Freedom War Zone. He hadn't expected him to come here as well.

This meant that Hand of God also possessed the divine secret art of the Three-Eyed Clan.

“Young men, welcome to the Three-Eyed Clan as guests.” An elder slowly appeared in the open space in the center of the village.

[Patriarch—Casma] (True God)

Level: 101

Attributes: ????

Talents: ????

Skills: ????

Description: The patriarch of the Three-Eyed Clan, possessing endless lifespan, unfathomable strength, kind and amiable, dedicated to strengthening the Three-Eyed Clan.

True God!!

Indeed, a True God.

Li Si’s breathing quickened a few beats.

“Hiss—”

Sounds of gasping could be heard around him.

It was Hand of God.

He was incredibly excited, hastily prostrating himself in a bow, then said, “Greetings, True God.”

Li Si was slightly startled at the sight, secretly cursing Hand of God for being cunning, his skill at currying favor was too refined. It was clear he had done this many times, perhaps having latched onto many powerful figures.

“Young man, you may rise.”

Casma raised his hand slightly, then said, “There is only one sky eye stone, so among you, only one person can take it away.”

“It will definitely be me!”

Hand of God said indifferently, then his eyes glowed golden as he looked at Li Si: “Han Yu, Level 34, Blue profession Mighty Archer. Is this all your strength? You’re not worthy to be my opponent.”

“You should surrender.”

“Heh heh.” Li Si said nothing, only sneered.

Surrendering was impossible.

“Alright, young men, begin your contest! Step into this light gate, and whoever emerges from the light gate first will be able to take the sky eye stone, and furthermore, will receive the Three-Eyed Clan’s bloodline inheritance.”

As Casma’s words fell, a light gate rose within the village.

“Kid, meeting me is your honor.” Hand of God said coldly, then stepped into the light gate, his figure disappearing from the village.

“Tch, idiot.”

Li Si couldn’t be bothered with idle talk. In the Sky Ladder Ranking, he had utterly defeated Hand of God more than a dozen times, so he had complete confidence.

Immediately, he also stepped into the light gate and vanished.

“Buzz—”

Space vibrated, and a figure appeared near the light gate.

“Patriarch, who do you think will win?” the newcomer said.

“What do you think?”

“I believe the young man in white has a greater chance of winning, because his aura is ten times stronger than the young man in black. And based on the aura of the young man in black, he doesn't seem to have the ability to pass the trial you set up.”
