After leaving the Baron’s estate, Su Yu was heading towards the Mage’s Guild on the east side of the village.

As he walked, Su Yu was recalling the main storyline about the “Saint of Orleans” from his previous life.

Speaking of this main storyline, it all starts from the Goldfinch Empire.

The game world of “Evolution” is vast. The human world alone consists of three major empires, over a dozen kingdoms, and hundreds of dukedoms, not to mention the surrounding elves, Orcs, goblins, pandamen…

The Goldfinch Empire is one of the three major human empires.

Currently, in the first expansion of “Evolution”, the opened areas are only the Goldfinth Empire and its subordinate kingdoms and dukedoms. More areas will be unlocked with subsequent game updates.

The main storyline of the “Saint of Orleans” can be considered the core narrative in the whole Goldfinch Empire of the first expansion.

This storyline mainly narrates a story about a rural girl named Garcia meeting with the empire’s princess, leading the imperial army, and ultimately defeating the Northern Rebel Army.

Almost all players partook in this main event at that time.

Of course, most players were merely involved in insignificant side quests, and the few fortunate enough to partake in the main quest were scarce.

As Su Yu joined the game too late and missed the first few expansions, he could only hurriedly browse through the whole event as recorded by old players.

The scholars within the game once stated that the “Saint of Orleans” quest line closely resembles the real-life exploits of Joan of Arc.

A country girl leads the national army in both cases, as a woman carrying the mantle of the nation’s will.

Joan of Arc was known as the “Saint of Orleans”, and Garcia was eventually named the “Saint of Orleans City”.

Apart from these, Su Yu didn’t have much more information.

However, being able to participate in the main quest of the “Saint of Orleans” is definitely a great fortune!

The rewards from the main quest are abundant; even for players like Su Yu, who exploit “infinite gold coins”, the rewards are incredibly tempting.

Upon entering the Mage’s Guild, Su Yu redeemed his two “Honor Medals” for two skill scrolls.

The first medal was of course used to redeem the “Flash Skill”.

After careful consideration for the second “Honor Medal”, Su Yu decided to redeem “Invisibility Skill”.

“Invisibility Skill” is the hardest-to-obtain beneficial skill among all the skill a mage has, and as Su Yu currently lacks damage, he requires this type of functional skill.

After redeeming the two skill scrolls, Su Yu directly clicked to learn them.

“[Flash Skill (Outstanding)]”: Teleports you to a location 15 meters ahead, stops if there are obstacles in the way, removes all dizziness and immobilization status possibilities. Instant cast, 15 seconds cooldown, consumes 20 mana.

“[Invisibility Skill (Outstanding)]”: Becomes “invisible” 3 seconds after casting, lasting 20 seconds. “Invisibility” status will be dismissed if an attack or skill casting takes place. Instant cast, 5 minutes cooldown, consumes 30 mana.

With these two spells, Su Yu’s survivability is significantly enhanced. He no longer has to rely solely on “Frost Shield” and evasions.

With a wave of his hand, Su Yu upgraded these two skills to rare quality.

Once upgraded to rare quality, the “Flash Skill” allows for teleportation up to

20 meters and reduces the cooldown to 12 seconds;

The “Invisibility Skill” lasts for 30 seconds and reduces the cooldown to 4 minutes.

Moreover, these two skills can be manifested in reality. In reality, these two skills can be infinitely useful!

After acquiring these two abilities, Su Yu glanced at the countdown timer for “[Annie’s Revenge]”.

There were still 40 minutes and 29 seconds left before the arrival of the “Star-forged Dragon King”.

Within these 40 minutes, Su Yu must prepare himself as best as possible in order to face this task.

Su Yu opened a private chat window with Snow Fall: “Snow Fall, if this were your task, how would you tackle ‘[Annie’s Revenge]’?”

While they were completing the task at the Baron’s Manor earlier, being curious about the “Tear of Savi Goddess”, Snow Fall had, through a private message, asked Su Yu about the subsequent tasks.

Su Yu didn’t hide anything and revealed all details about the subsequent tasks and the related quests to “[Annie’s Revenge]” to Snow Fall.

Su Yu’s inquiry was directed at Snow Fall because after all, she was the “witness”.

By interacting with Snow Fall, at the very least, Su Yu could disregard one wrong answer.

“emmm…”

After pondering for a while, Snow Fall replied, “I remember there’s a cliff next to the Wolf King Valley, to the west of the village. If I were you, I would stand on the edge of the cliff and jump down 2 to 3 seconds before the arrival of the “Star-forged Dragon King.”

“With gravity assisting my acceleration, the velocity of my character can reach a great height, perhaps I could use this speed to dodge the lethal attack.”

“Yes, that makes sense,” Su Yu replied.

This method of standing on a cliff and jumping down was one that Su Yu hadn’t thought about.

However, since Snow Fall suggested it, it most definitely wouldn’t work.

“So? Are you planning to adopt my idea?” Snow Fall replied with excitement.

Su Yu: “No, I have a different plan.”

Snow Fall: “So, what’s your brilliant idea?”

Su Yu: “You’ll know in 40 minutes. Come by the village chief’s place then. Bu I reckon you should stay a little farther away.”

After replying, Su Yu closed the chat window.

Su Yu’s contingency plan was very simple—stand right next to the village chief of the beginner village.

Being the most conspicuous “star” in the beginner village, the village chief attracted the most number of players, and the number of NPCs was pretty dense around him too.

Moreover, because of his special status as the village chief, the “Star-forged Dragon King” would surely control his attack range.

If the range of the “Star-forged Dragon King”‘s attack was less than 20 meters, Su Yu could easily dodge it using the “Flash Skill” and thus, successfully accomplish this quest!

“Right, that’s the way to go!”

Su Yu thought about it thoroughly without finding any glitches and hence decided to proceed with this plan.

However, before proceeding to the village chief, Su Yu decided to buy some more speed-enhancing gear to increase his survival rate.

So he went to the stockyard and bought out all the speed-enhancing gear that was for sale.

Most of the speed-enhancing gear were pieces of leather armor:

“[Shadowmoon Cape IVI (Outstanding)]” (Defense +5, Movement Speed +0.4);

“[Assassin’s Shoulder Guard IV2 (Outstanding))” (Defense +4, Movement Speed +0.2);

“[Shadow Long Boot IVI (Outstanding))” (Defense +5, Movement Speed +0.5).

All were common green items that increased movement speed and seemed mediocre to ordinary players. However, for Su Yu, they were perfectly suitable.

After putting on this leather armor, Su Yu had the appearance of an assassin player.

His movement speed also got boosted up to 2.4.

A speed of 2.4 meant that Su Yu could walk 2.4 meters per second. In a full-on sprint, he could reach speeds as high as 12 meters per second, significantly exceeding the limits of a normal human!

Wearing this gear, Su Yu headed towards the center of the village and positioned himself next to the village chief.

At that point, there were 29 minutes and 12 seconds left before the arrival of the “Star-forged Dragon King”.

The village chief was an old man with a white beard, handing out tasks to players cheerfully.

He remained completely oblivious to the fact that a catastrophe was nearing!
