Chapter 1848: Chapter 1251: The Unlucky Culprit (Finally, Everyone Who Came to My Home Has Left)
Following Duanmu Huai’s instructions, Aikute also pulled up the footage from that time, and everyone saw a bizarre-looking spaceship that appeared to be made of crystal, suddenly darting out of the void in a panic, crashing right into the front of the Tribunal’s flagship.
Unfortunately, compared to the Tribunal’s Queen Glory Class, this odd spaceship was only about the size of a shell, and couldn’t possibly pose any threat to the Queen Glory Class. As a result, it was directly knocked flying and then exploded in mid-air, subsequently getting caught by the gravity of a nearby planet, and fell down with a "wooosh."
"Wow, this is really a case of walking without looking where you’re going."
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai couldn’t help but snark, "My warship is so big, and you still managed to crash into it, are you blind?"
"Didn’t we activate the shield?"
Watching the screen footage, Mary curiously asked, and Lumiaire answered.
"The Void Shield only reacts to objects at a certain speed or higher. Judging from earlier, this spaceship was moving quite slowly, nowhere near the activation threshold of the Void Shield."
"Who knows what those people were thinking. Could they have been driving drunk?"
Duanmu Huai snorted softly, when he saw the strange spaceship appear, he noticed that it was swaying left and right, like someone driving drunk.
Could it be that the people inside were really drunk?
"Let’s check the condition of our warship first,"
With Duanmu Huai’s order, Lumiaire zoomed in the picture again and again... Okay, looks like just a bit of paint got scraped off.
"Fix the paint for me, I’m going to find those bastards for compensation. Driving drunk and hoping to bump and run? Where does that good fortune come from!"
Duanmu Huai also wore a gloomy face at this point, "Can you casually scrape a Rolls-Royce Phantom belonging to me? How much do you think this paint costs?"
"I don’t think it was hit and run..."
Homura Akemi quipped from the side. But of course, that’s not the main point.
With Lumiaire’s simple scan of the planet, it could be seen that the planet was suitable for life and seemed to have traces of civilization. Of course, based on the energy fluctuations, Lumiaire immediately locked onto the location of the spaceship’s crash, so Duanmu Huai and the others took the Night Raven Black Star and left the warship, flying towards the crash site.
It wasn’t long before they passed through the atmosphere and arrived at the spaceship’s crash site, an island. The entire island had been mostly damaged by the explosion from the crash, with crystal fragments stuck in several places and groups of unlucky souls busy tidying up things, looking quite miserable.
But the spaceship didn’t seem completely destroyed, at least the main part was still intact, prompting Duanmu Huai to fly a circle around in the Night Raven Black Star, then came to the main door.
Seeing the Night Raven Black Star descending from the sky, those unlucky ones busy tidying around hurriedly gathered, holding weapons, warily staring at the unknown flying object. With their gazes on him, the hatch opened, and Duanmu Huai strode down. Holding a War Hammer, he scanned around, examining these "perpetrators."
The appearance of these creatures was similar to humans, disappointing Duanmu Huai, as they all had human-like skulls, facial features, and limbs. The only noticeable difference was their blue skin and the whisker-like tendrils on their cheeks, with horn-like shapes on their heads and hoof-like shapes for feet.
What a shame, Subhumans, can’t just cleanse them outright.
"Who are you people, and what are you doing here?"
Looking at Duanmu Huai’s group, one of the Subhumans holding a War Hammer stepped forward, nervously asking. Hearing his question, Duanmu Huai raised an eyebrow.
"You crashed into my ship, I should be asking what you’re doing."
"What?"
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s response, the Subhumans were in an uproar, and suddenly, a stately voice sounded.
"Silence!"
Hearing this voice, everyone quickly stepped back, and then Duanmu Huai saw an elderly man, supporting himself with a Magic Wand, vividly walking out from the rear passage. He looked at Duanmu Huai, then bowed deeply.
"Apologies, Warrior, this is all our fault."
"Of course, we were flying just fine, suddenly hit by someone... I originally wanted you to pay..."
While speaking, Duanmu Huai glanced around.
"But looking at you guys, this ship probably didn’t have insurance either."
"I’m truly sorry."
The elder spoke again, then walked up to Duanmu Huai, extending his hand to take out something that looked like a decoration and handed it over.
"As you said, we don’t have much...insurance. This is a small compensation, and please forgive our oversight."
"What is this?"
Duanmu Huai took the ornament handed to him by the old man with curiosity and glanced at it. Its information quickly appeared.
[Ancient Draenei Arcane Artifact: Increases Spell Critical Hit Level by 21, increases Spell Damage by up to 120 points, and increases Healing Effect by up to 220 points, lasts for 15 seconds]
"..........."
Although he couldn’t understand the prompts on it, it seemed pretty good. And since it’s a Divine Artifact, it should be something valuable, right? Unexpectedly, the other party was so generous to even give him a Divine Artifact, which made Duanmu Huai feel a bit embarrassed. His warship just got a bit scratched, and he was only intending to ask for some compensation, yet they offered a Divine Artifact?
Then I’ll... not stand on ceremony.
"Alright, it’s not a big deal anyway. On the contrary, you seem to be in a complicated situation here."
Duanmu Huai said as he put away the Divine Artifact. It’s for magic users; he would see whether to give it to Ann, Mary, or Naruse Mio.
"Do you need my help?"
"We appreciate your kindness, but perhaps this is the fate of us Draenei..."
"Oh........"
Another religious zealot, huh.
Duanmu Huai chatted with the old man for a while and learned that they were a race called Draenei, originally from a planet called Argus. However, later, the planet was targeted by a Demon faction known as the Burning Legion. Except for a few, including this old man, the rest of their kindred were swayed by the seductive words of the Burning Legion Demons and became their accomplices.
And this old man, Prophet Velen, led the remaining people to escape Argus by spaceship. Later, while evading the pursuit of the Burning Legion, their spaceship lost control and crashed on a world called Draenor, where Prophet Velen and the other Draenei developed and built a home.
However, the good times didn’t last long. The Burning Legion found them again. To escape the pursuit, the Draenei fled Draenor once more, but soon encountered an unknown attack. While evading the attack, the Draenei steered their spaceship and crashed into the Tribunal’s warship, then landed here... Well, one must admit, these Draenei are quite unlucky.
Escaping twice, then crashing twice, perhaps, as Velen said, it’s fate.
But the Demons of the Burning Legion, huh......
After listening to Prophet Velen, Duanmu Huai squinted, speculating based on Velen’s words that this Burning Legion might be some sort of intergalactic civilized race, and a Demon race nonetheless? Could they be a Chaos Legion?
He inquired about the Burning Legion from Velen in detail, but to Duanmu Huai’s surprise, the Burning Legion seemed different from the Chaos Legion he imagined. Their appearance didn’t resemble Chaos Intergalactic Warriors, but Velen did mention that these Demons wield strong Spiritual Energy power......
"Beep beep........!"
While Duanmu Huai and Velen were chatting, a communication alert suddenly sounded. Duanmu Huai first apologized to Velen, then walked aside to open his personal terminal. Soon, Lumiaire’s face appeared on it.
"What’s up, Lumiaire?"
"It’s like this, Commander."
Lumiaire looked somewhat nervous.
"We scanned this planet according to your request, and we discovered a large number of Undead Creatures in the northern continent on this planet."
"Oh? Show me."
"Yes."
The scene quickly switched, and Duanmu Huai saw a world seemingly shrouded in death and curse. Here, everywhere were Zombies with pale skin and rotting bodies, walking around like living corpses. These Zombies spread across the entire north. Even the weather here was exceptionally dark, and the trees seemed twisted by evil Spiritual Energy.
"We detected a large Spiritual Energy response, initially determining these Undead Creatures were likely resurrected by some sort of Spiritual Energy."
"Hmm......"
Staring at the continent before him, Duanmu Huai stroked his chin, thought for a moment, then made a decision.
Since there are so many Undead Creatures here, it’s necessary to deal with them promptly. After all, such places can easily connect with Subspace, potentially inviting troublesome Evil God Great Demons or Champions, which would be even more difficult. Moreover, according to Lumiaire, there is a Human civilization on this planet as well. Although the civilization’s level isn’t high, since there are Humans, the Tribunal’s task is evident.
"Prepare to deploy a unit to land in this area, I will personally lead to eliminate these filthy heretical rabble."
"Understood, Commander."
