Re: Evolution Online



"Huh? Little rascal! How do you know about the world seed?" The draconian princess blinked, looking at Liam with her eyes dazed. 

The next second, seeing the smile on Liam's face, her barely concealed chest started heaving up and down. "Don't tell me… you already have the world seed?"

Liam wordlessly took out the small thing from his spatial artifact. He placed it on his palm and showed it to the draconian princess.

"You… how is this possible?"

"The vampires were after this," Liam explained.

"Brat, I don't know if you have the worst luck or the best luck." The draconian princess looked stiff, not knowing whether to be happy about this or not.

"Anyways, what you have here is a quarter of the world seed, a seed fragment. There should be three other fragments just like this. Once you have all four in your possession, you can immediately plant the world seed in this world."

"After that, your world should quickly stabilize. Of course, this won't do much for you, but this will definitely solve your invasion problem, and there shouldn't be any more enemies showing up at your doorstep."

"So even if you did not reap any benefits from this, you will be at peace knowing that your friends and families are safe."

"Hmmm…" Liam frowned as he looked at the seed fragment again. "Are you sure that I won't reap any benefits?"

From what he saw, the vampires were guarding it very carefully, pretty much with their lives on the line.

In fact, when he took the world seed, the hidden party finally made a big move and summoned the blood effigy, even becoming personally involved. 

The whole thing was definitely orchestrated around this one seed. Considering all of this, it did not seem like the world tree's purpose was just to stabilize the world's evolution.

Heh. The dragon princess smirked. "Brat, your brain is not too bad." 

"Naturally, the world tree has other benefits. It is, after all, a treasure that factions fight over, but there is a reason why I am not telling you about that right now." 

"Trust me. It's a tad bit too soon to be counting our rewards. We first need to plant the seed. Focus on getting there."

Liam nodded. There was a lot of work to be done. Benefits or not, if planting the damn thing stops the invasions, then that in itself was a huge deal.

"Do you have any methods to find the rest of the world seed fragments?"

"Ugh? If I knew it before, then I would have gone after the world seed and taken it for myself." The draconian princess laughed.

But the next second, she caught the cold glint that flashed past Liam's eyes and abruptly stopped. "I am kidding. I am kidding. Since you agreed to help me, I will leave the world seed be. You can have it."

Seeing that Liam was still not convinced and was continuing to look at her with narrowed eyes, she once again laughed lightly. "Jeez. I really was joking. I am not going to take anything of yours."

"..."

"I swear."

"..."

"Ahem. Coming back to our conversation, I don't have any special methods to find the other seeds. You are all on your own."

"Aren't dragons supposed to be good at finding treasures?" Liam clicked his tongue.

"What the heck? Fine. Let's just say I am a defective dragon. Brat, get out of here and do some hard labor. Hmph!" The draconian princess pouted as if Liam had touched a sore spot.

Liam, however, completely ignored her. "What about the treasures and the guardians that you talked about?"

"I don't know where they are either, you little rascal! When you came to look for me, I was doing exactly that, trying to find some leads. Hmph."contemporary romance

"Dragons are supposed to be good at finding treasures, it seems. Bah! What an asshole! Am I a living treasure map or what?" She even continued grumbling under her breath.

"Why don't you go out and do some hard work for a change? Do you expect everything to fall from the sky and land into your lap, your arrogant prick!?"

Seeing that this was not going anywhere, Liam scratched his head and started walking out of the villa. He had barely taken a few steps when he noticed that the draconian princess was following him.

Hmmm? He waited for her to join him, but the princess looked like she was in a bad mood. She did not show any signs of wanting to walk next to him.

"Okay." Liam raised a brow and then returned back to his task at hand. He had far too many things in his brain right now, and he was still sorting out everything.

"To increase my strength… to heal my soul… to make my body stronger… treasures… guardians… world seed." He repeated everything under his breath, trying to think what would be his best course of action at the moment.

There were really too many things that he had to accomplish and not much time. He inhaled one more deep breath, sucking in the slowly permeating nether. 

He could already feel the nether entering the nook and cranny of his body. He did not have much time at all.

In this situation, what was the right move to make? Just where was he supposed to start the herculean task that lay ahead of him?

Liam's gaze fell upon the red pillar in the distance as he absent-mindedly pondered over everything. A grin then slowly appeared on his face. 

It was time to do some hard work, indeed!

He started quickening his steps as he headed in the direction of the nearest red pillar. As he came closer, he could already feel the increasing density of the nether waves.

And when he finally arrived at the spot, Liam saw the numerous undead creatures crawling around the area like roaches on a dirty floor.

"This will do. Oh! This will do."
