Child of Destiny

But that was just one of the problems. It was because he still had found them one by one. He needed information about their location quickly to be prepared for the future.

Recalling his conversation with Berlin before, when the Saint Blacksmith had reforged the [Yamato], Shin remembered something. Berlin had mentioned to give him the heart of a hydra when he ever encountered one in the Awakened Continent. This meant that the Hydra was most likely to be found on the second continent.

Thinking about this, Shin suddenly felt a sense of urgency. He needed to finish his Promotion Quest as soon as possible and reach the Awakened Continent with the fastest speed possible.

Understanding the gravity of the situation, Shin immediately organized his thoughts. He formulated a series of plans inside his head, planning to share it with the rest of their group.

From what he could see, the easiest solution that they had was to clash against the Demonic Churches head-on. They had to sabotage the plans of the evil faction to the best of their abilities and delay the descent of the Devil Ancestor as much as they could.

The longer the Devil Ancestor was delayed, the more time Shin and the rest could have.

”I guess I have to pay more attention to the movements of the Demonic Churches. I should ask Big Sis to help us keep an eye on them. She has more connections that she can use for this kind of situation. I am sure that she can find a way to track those people.”

Shin was polishing his plans when he noticed that it was already time to log out. He could not help but click his tongue as he found that he now had little time on his hands.

Regardless, he still had to log out of the game on time. Even if there were urgent problems within the game that he needed to take care of, he still could not neglect his training in the real world.

After all, the main reason why he was paying more attention to the game was to train himself, particularly his mentalism and martial arts. It would be meaningless if he neglected his training in the real world because of this.

…

Logging out, Shin quickly did his daily morning route before heading to the opposite room. He would be making his breakfast first and consult Arthur and Leonard about his plans during the meal.

But he would not expect that this topic was more serious than he had originally thought.

”What the heck! You also get a quest about Divine Ancient Armors. D*mn! And here I have thought that I know ahead of the pack. It turns out that it is a ʼgroupʼ event!”

Arthur could not contain anger and disappointment after hearing everything from Shin.

Based on what he had said, he had also gotten a similar quest. Even though it was a little different and directly came from his main faction, the Dragon Sanctuary, the overall outcome was still the same.

”I also have gotten a similar quest! It is a follow-up quest from the Empire Quest that we just recently cleared!”

”Of course, it is still some time before I meet all the conditions to trigger it! But it is still a quest related to that one.”

”The connection with the Devil Ancestor is also its main trigger!” Arthur kept on complaining as he explained everything to Shin.

He first thought that he would not be ahead of Shin and Leonard after receiving such a quest. But who would have thought that it was not the case?

”So, what kind of armor is the Dragon Race looking for?” asked Shin out of curiosity.

He had already shared his quest with Arthur and Leonard and told them his thoughts about it. He also told them the historical background of the armor that Berlin would be making, the [Thousand Chaos], so the two had gotten a rough idea of what kind of armor it was.

On the other hand, Arthurʼs quest was a little different.

”Mine? Well, it is not the same. Instead of looking for materials to craft the armor, I am to look for the ʼfragmentsʼ of main armor,” mumbled Arthur before continuing.

”From the background of the quest, it is said that the armor that the King of the Divine Dragons has used during that war is broken into ʼpieces.ʼ”

”The main armor is called the [Divine Dragon Armor] originally, but it is broken into four pieces after that war. Then those pieces are scattered all around the world and become lost through the passage of time.”

”Naturally, the Dragon Race will not easily give up on that armor since it is an ancient relic of their race. It is a treasure that they canʼt afford to lose.”

”And after long years of search, they finally find some clues about the four broken pieces.”
