Chapter 531: Chapter 49: Red Name?!
Although the Last Dragon Descendant also wanted to freely explore here, after estimating his current strength, he realized that exploring on his own would very likely lead to an unexpected and sudden death.
"So, Rivers, the ’direct broadcasting’ you mentioned earlier, is it effective here?"
As he watched Orbins walking away into the distance, Anvis glanced at the Elf beside him and asked a question he already knew the answer to.
"Of course it’s effective... Respected Lord Anvis, I paid a tremendous price to barely make it work here."
Upon hearing Anvis’s question, the Elf quickly nodded. However, considering that they were currently live-streaming, he refrained from appearing too obsequious.
"That is to say, our every move is now being watched by many people from the outside world, right?"
Staring unblinkingly at the Last Dragon Descendant, Anvis asked again in a tone the Elf could not discern as happy or angry.
"Yes... but this type of livestream can only be seen by ’foreigners’ like myself."
After thinking for a while, the Last Dragon Descendant admitted this point in a tactful tone.
He was not too sure what Anvis was thinking, but Anvis had clearly promised earlier that he could livestream here, so it was unlikely that he would suddenly change his mind.
"Very good, but your current strength is still a bit too weak."
Anvis nodded slightly, seeming very satisfied with the Elf’s answer.
"For the time being, follow my lead, Rivers. Although you ’foreigners’ don’t die, I remember that dying too many times will result in the loss of all strength, right?"
"...Your will, Lord Anvis."
After such a discussion, what more could the Elf say?
However, seemingly sensing his inadequate strength, Anvis generously threw him a Sixth Rank Magic-guided Mechanical Armor and gestured for him to equip it.
It was a practice piece Anvis had made while researching Magic-guided Mechanical Armor, although it could only exert the strength of the Sixth Rank at most.
But for the Last Dragon Descendant, who had just barely exceeded level forty, it was more than sufficient.
"Thank you for your generous gift!"
Seeing the attributes of the purple equipment on his panel, the Last Dragon Descendant was overjoyed and eagerly praised Anvis.
Most importantly, this was not a Task Item, but was directly recognized by the system as an item gifted by Anvis to him, ready to be bound at any time!
At this moment, through his live broadcast window, the players who also saw the astounding attributes of the Elf’s equipment nearly went wild, grinding their teeth and drooling over the screen with envy.
"Is this how high-end players complete tasks? Because of weak strength, just wait for NPCs to hand out rewards, love it!"
"What has turned me into a completely different person?"
"I’ve learned now, all I’m missing is having an NPC beside the host who can provide me with equipment!"
"..."
Regarding the viewers’ reactions on the barrage, even though the Last Dragon Descendant couldn’t see them, he could guess what they were like.
"No need for anyone to be surprised, this is just the basics, sit down."
At this moment, after putting on the Battle Armor, the Elf’s expression was one of self-satisfaction, seemingly pompous enough to command the room.
As for the Elf’s playful antics, Anvis didn’t care.
His main purpose in bringing the Elf along was to have him help with the live-streaming.
As for the Magic-guided Mechanical Armor given to him in advance? That was for the sake of saving his life.
If the Last Dragon Descendant could safely don the Mechanical Battle Armor through all the perils within seven days and bring it out of the Radiant Secret Realm undamaged, Anvis truly wouldn’t mind giving the armor to him.
Now, Anvis was preparing to find Prince Lanno and his party first and then explore the ruins at a slower pace.
The previous unsettling feeling was growing stronger. Anvis was still unsure what had happened, but he was clear on one thing: as time passed, no scheme could remain completely hidden.
With the attraction of the stele, locating Prince Lanno and his group wasn’t difficult.
However, Anvis didn’t head straight to Lanno and the others; instead, he scavenged for valuable items left throughout the ancient city ruins.
After all, the purpose of entering the ruins was, theoretically, to find these very items.
Looking at the notification on his panel about gaining five points in ancient history experience, the Last Dragon Descendant skillfully packed an ancient High Elf vase into his backpack, planning to sell it for a good price to some rich fool after exiting.
Throughout the journey, the Elf consistently live-streamed the adventure, occasionally showcasing various treasures obtained.
Even with Anvis’s tacit consent, he took the time to introduce Anvis’s background and identity to the audience.
There are always some wealthy collectors who even in a game, do not make exceptions. Amongst niche groups of collector players, these historically significant and exquisite artifacts could fetch an extremely high price.
As for the Elf’s continuous scavenging, Anvis maintained a permissive attitude as well, since there were few items that could catch his eye.
As the Elf continued the live stream, the popularity of the broadcast room was now nearing a hundred thousand viewers.
Many viewers, while envious of the Last Dragon Descendant, also wondered how long the host could survive in this treacherous Secret Realm?
After about two to three Magic Time hours, Anvis finally found Prince Lanno and his party in an underground palace on the west side of the city ruins.
At this point, Prince Lanno’s team had already lost one member. The remaining five people, including Lanno himself, were all enveloped and protected in thick Mechanical Battle Armor.
"Anvis? You’ve arrived."
Seeing Anvis accompanied by the Elf, Lanno heaved a slight sigh of relief.
"Right after I landed, I was attacked by a mysterious Magic Beast. Those Magic Beasts are very strong, and their types are quite special.
Using the power of that stone tablet, I gathered my subordinates. But one of them had mysteriously disappeared before I could regroup them."
Shaking his head regretfully, the youth in the ruins quietly looked at Anvis with his deep blue eyes.
"Anvis, what do you plan to do?"
"...Me? I plan to check out the central tower in the city."
In response to Lanno’s query, Anvis answered absentmindedly while covertly releasing his spiritual power to Detect if there was anything abnormal about Lanno and his team.
And this Detection did reveal a problem!
To Anvis’s senses, the person standing second to last in Lanno’s team gave off a very odd feeling.
If pushed to describe it, it would be that the person’s aura seemed ’discordant’.
At the same time, his Old Secret Realm item suddenly flickered slightly.
Notably logging this detail without a trace, Anvis casually moved a few steps closer with the Elf, entering within the range of the Detection Skills for analysis.
"With your foreign abilities, help me Detect that person in their team."
Suddenly receiving this task from Anvis, the Elf was somewhat puzzled, but still went ahead as instructed, considering the corresponding task that appeared on his panel.
But when the Detection results came back, the Elf was startled.
Though the specific personal details were question marks due to the vast difference in levels, what shocked the Last Dragon Descendant was that the color of the person’s name was a blood-like bright red!
