Chapter 47 Heading to the Ground
Time flies.
Two weeks have passed since Yatogami Tohka returned from the Second Floating Island. Unfortunately, Suowong and Lord Ebon Candle still seem to be trying to analyze the spirit crystals, and have not sent anyone to bring any news. During this period of time when he was expecting good news, Yatogami Tohka did not simply stay in the Fourth Fairy Warehouse. Although he reached a deal with Suowong that as long as he could research useful technology from the spirit crystals, he would give the Golden Fairy the same equal status as other residents of the Floating Continent Islands, it is obvious that he has not researched anything so far.
Therefore, the golden fairies still need to fight for the Guardian Wing Army.
During these days, Yatogami Tohka and Nephren were summoned by Graycrack several times, and followed the Second Division of the Guardian Wing Army to eliminate the Sixth Beast that
invaded the Floating Continent Islands in various different areas.
In just two weeks, three battles of varying sizes took place.
Of course, compared with the Battle of the Fifteenth Floating Island, the number of the Sixth Beast that appeared in these four times was not that large, and there was no Chimera that was a fusion
of multiple beasts.
In addition, Yatogami Tohka participated in every battle, resulting in Nephren and the others hardly making any contribution in these battles. Even the casualties of the orc soldiers dropped to the lowest level in history.
This caused Yatogami Tohka popularity to skyrocket in the Second Division.
No one would refuse a big sister who could protect their lives, even the arrogant orc warriors. Under the influence of Yatogami Tohka , the three golden fairies and other orc warriors came into contact more and more frequently. This was a good thing.
The more frequently the golden fairies communicate with other races now, the faster they can integrate into the Floating Continent Islands and truly achieve equality when they are truly liberated.
Although the Golden Fairy is a non-significant race, many orc races look down on non-significant races, but for the Golden Fairy, this is not a problem. Even if different orc races have different values and concepts, in general, they all respect strength to a certain extent. The Golden Fairy who can use magic is undoubtedly the most powerful of all races.
As long as Suowong is willing to let go and remove all restrictions on the golden fairies, Chtholly and the others will be able to integrate into the floating continent archipelago very quickly. By then, wouldn't the completion of the third branch mission be a foregone conclusion? Yatogami Tohka was looking forward to it.
"Lord Graycrack just sent a new order."
The fourth fairy warehouse, the cafeteria.
Nygglatho, who had just finished talking to Graycrack , came to the group that was eating, with a slightly anxious look on her face. "This is an emergency. I'm
sorry I didn't give you time to prepare. The airship that's coming to pick you up is on the way."
"Hey! Why are we on another mission?"
Ithea's voice was drawn out with obvious resistance: "We just received a mission two days ago and just finished fighting the Sixth Beast. How come there is a new mission so soon?"
"Yeah, it's too frequent." Nephren agreed expressionlessly, "Are there no people in the other fairy warehouses?" "This time it's not an annihilation mission, it's a rescue mission." Nygglatho shook her head, "The survey ship [Saxifrage] belonging to the Wing Army Survey Division was attacked by a beast and was severely
damaged. It was forced to land on the ground and needs our support."
When the three golden fairies heard the name of Saxifraga, their faces suddenly became serious. There are two types of divisions in the Guardian Wing Army.
The first is the combat division led by Graycrack , which is responsible for resisting the invasion of the Sixth Beast.
The second type is the Survey Division, which is responsible for sending scavenger teams to the human ruins on the ground to collect valuable relics and holy swords. Although the Golden Fairy's duty is to protect the floating continent archipelago, most of the time the missions they receive are to join the combat division and fight the Sixth Beast. However, when the Survey Division sets off
for the ground, the Golden Fairy will also be dispatched to the designated airship to protect the safety of the airship and the orc soldiers and scavenger teams on the airship.
In the fourth fairy warehouse, there are a total of five adult golden fairies.
Chtholly, Ithea, and Nephren were in charge of staying in the fairy warehouse, while the other two golden fairies, Chtholly and Nephren, were assigned to the survey ship numbered Saxifrage two months ago, before Willem joined the Fourth Fairy Warehouse, to serve as bodyguards with the Survey Division.
Now, the Saxifrage where Chtholly and Nephren were located was severely damaged and even had to make an emergency landing on the ground.
This was an extremely dangerous signal.
"It is my duty to protect the members of the Fourth Fairy Warehouse."
Chtholly, the oldest golden fairy in the fourth fairy warehouse, immediately stood up and said, "No matter what the situation is, I must go and help them."
"Tohka, I'm sorry, I have to trouble you this time."
Nephren looked at Yatogami Tohka who was eating beside her, and said with a hint of solemnity: "Our partners in the Survey Division are in crisis. This mission may be very dangerous. I hope you can help us."
Yatogami Tohka quickly scraped the remaining rice in the bowl, patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me! Just tell me what you need me to do!" "First, wipe the rice grains from your mouth."
"What about now? Is it still available now?"
"Let me do it."
Yatogami Tohka wiped her mouth carelessly, but the rice grains on her chin were still stuck. Nephren had to do it her Spirit, approached her in three or two steps, and picked the rice grains off. After that, the three golden fairies quickly prepared for the mission, wearing armor made of fine steel and holy swords. After Willem and Nygglatho said goodbye and gave instructions, the four-member team carried the quickly prepared luggage and waited for the arrival of the transport ship. Looking at the black spot appearing on the horizon, Yatogami Tohka became excited.
Finally, after staying in the floating continent for such a long time, she finally got the chance to go to the ground. So far, she has killed more than two hundred sixth beasts, which is equivalent to the number of kills of an ordinary golden fairy in half a year. But the number is meaningless to her.
The requirement of the first side quest is to kill seventeen different types of beasts. No matter how many sixth beasts she kills, it will not increase the progress of the quest.
If you want to kill more kinds of beasts, the only way is to go to the surface.
"I participated in four battles, but I only encountered Chimera in the first battle." Yatogami Tohka thought as she and the three golden fairies entered the airship that came to pick them up. "It seems that the long a waited side mission one can also move."
Chapter 48. Super Golden Spirit
Another survey ship, Plantain, belonging to the Survey Division, was moving at full speed. This survey ship was loaded with materials needed for rescue and was flying non-stop in the direction of the crash of the Saxifraga. The mission of the Survey Division was to collect the heritage of mankind, which was a long and dangerous task.
It takes at least several months to explore a ruin, and one also has to pay attention to the beasts that may appear on the surface and in the ruins. This means that the casualty rate of the survey corps, especially the scavengers, is no lower than that of the combat corps.
Moreover, if one wants to find good things, the only way is to explore those unexplored ruins. This also requires the investigation fleet to go farther than the last time each time it sails. The ruins far away from the floating continent archipelago are full of uncertainty and danger.
The most important thing is that if a crisis really occurs, it is difficult for the floating continental islands to send support in the first place. After sailing at full speed for two days, the rescue fleet carried by Yatogami Tohka and his party finally arrived at the place where the investigation fleet crashed. Standing on the deck and looking down,
Yatogami Tohka could only see a barren expanse of yellow sand.
A huge main ship was docked on the flat yellow sand, which could be seen from a long distance, with no shelter around it. In a territory full of ignorant and wild beasts, such a docking place was completely to deliver food to them, and it would undoubtedly attract a large number of beasts to come for food.
This is exactly the case.
It can be seen that the main ship is already in tatters, the propeller has been torn off, and the entire tail has been separated from the fuselage. It is unknown how many beasts have destroyed it.
The area around the main ship was also covered with dried blood, destroyed facilities, and many animal bodies cut into pieces. After confirming that no living animals had been observed in the nearby area, the Plantain slowly slowed down and stopped next to the destroyed Saxifraga. Seeing that the rescuers had finally arrived, the people who had camped near the crash site gathered around. Their condition is not good.
Although there was enough food and water, they did not have blankets to keep them warm on the cold nights, and they had to be on guard against the appearance of wild animals at all times, which made them look very haggard.
The hatch opened, and rescue workers quickly filed out, carrying down the relief supplies piece by piece. The rescue operation was carried out in an orderly manner.
Yatogami Tohka and his group quickly walked out of the Plantain and stepped onto the sandy land.
As soon as I set foot on this land, a surprised voice came over.
Looking in the direction of the sound, a girl with short red hair opened her arms and ran over like a fly. She held Nephren head and rubbed her face while saying, "I didn't expect that you would come to rescue me. I haven't seen you for a long time. Nephren is still as small as before~"
Nephren uttered a slight nasal sound in response.
Although she still had no expression on her face, she could feel a hint of helplessness for some reason. However, she did not push the man away, but continued to let him rub her.
Because Nephren knew that this guy was a straightforward person, and he would say whatever he thought, and he never held back. However, even though he knew that she had no ill intentions, she was still speechless when she said that she was short as soon as they met. "Hey, Nephren, who is this?"
Seeing the intimacy between the two, Yatogami Tohka pouted and tugged at the corner of Nephren clothes. Hearing the unfamiliar voice, the girl who was hugging Nephren was slightly stunned, and after letting go of her hand, she looked at her. Before Nephren could introduce her Spirit, the girl who looked quite like a boy seemed to remember something, and her eyes lit up: "Ah! Could it be that you are the super golden fairy that everyone is talking about?"
"Super, super golden fairy?" Yatogami Tohka blinked, "What is that?"
"Your name is Yatogami Tohka , right?" "That's right."
"That's right!" The girl nodded. "It's spreading like wildfire in the Guard Wing Army. Even the Saxifraga far away has heard that a powerful golden fairy appeared in the Fourth Fairy Warehouse. People are calling you the Super Golden Fairy."
"Nopht, please pay attention to etiquette."
Just as the girl was about to say something, another blue-haired girl in a long skirt slowly walked over and said, "Don't scare people you meet for the first time. Tell your own name before asking for someone else's name." "Ahhh, do you have to be so rigid?"
The boyish girl complained and scratched her head impatiently, but still said obediently: "I am Noph Keh Desperatio, the golden fairy of the fourth fairy warehouse!" "Nice to meet you, Yatogami."
The elegant and indifferent girl nodded slightly and introduced her Spirit: "I am Tiat Siba Ignareo, also the fourth fairy
The golden fairy of the warehouse, you can call me Tiat, nice to meet you."
Obviously, these two were the main targets of Chtholly rescue. Compared with the other haggard beastmen, the two golden fairies were in much better condition. Apart from some blood and sand from the battle with the beasts, they seemed to be completely unaffected by the forced landing.
This is only natural.
Although they look like other delicate orcs, all thin girls, their physique and will are much stronger than ordinary orc warriors.
It was just two days on this yellow sand, and this level of hardship was nothing to the golden fairy. However, what Yatogami Tohka did not expect was that these two golden fairies who had been away from the floating continent archipelago for nearly two months actually heard the rumors of her killing spree.
It seems that his fame is spreading very quickly in the Guardian Army.
"After hearing the rumors about you, I wanted to meet you. I didn't expect to meet you under such circumstances." Nephren circled around Yatogami Tohka and said in amazement: "However, those orcs really can't believe everything they say. Isn't this completely different from what is described in the rumors?"
"The description in the rumors?" Yatogami Tohka asked curiously, "How do others describe me?" "They say that my muscles are as strong as bronze, I can kill a lion-man with one punch, my face is as ferocious as a ghost, and my aura alone can scare people away."
Nephren recalled the rumors she had heard from the orc warriors on the ship from time to time, and repeated, "Their appetites can hold mountains and seas, and they are never satisfied. On the battlefield, they feast on beast meat and drink beast blood. In short, it makes my blood boil!"
