Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Chapter 168: Blank Statue
The midnight breeze was gentle, and the surroundings were quiet.
Xi Wei returned to Winter City with a group of lolis overnight.
Xin Kui and Xin Zhi, the sisters, had already fallen asleep in Xi Wei’s big bed, covered with soft goose down blankets and wearing sweet smiles after listening to a heavily modified fairy tale.
But Xi Wei had no intention of sleeping.
Because he still had to deal with one person – Elf Princess Ashilia.
The tower was already surrounded by the Winter City army. Before he even reached the upper floors, Xi Wei could hear Elf Princess Ashilia’s hoarse pleas for mercy.
“I’m sorry, please let me go…”
“Can you beg King of Winter, Your Majesty? I genuinely didn’t know he valued those two demi-elf sisters so much…”
“If I had known, why would I have done such a foolish thing? Please…”
Xi Wei, with his lips pressed together and a cold expression, walked up to the second floor and entered Ashilia’s room.
The Elf Princess’s pretty face was already swollen and bruised, her eyes bloodshot and purple.
That one slap had almost made her lose the vision in one eye.
Even her nose seemed to be slightly crooked.
“I thought that when I returned, I would at least see your repentance…”
“But unfortunately, you don’t seem to realize your mistake at all.”
Xi Wei walked up to Ashilia, his voice as cold as ice.
Since one eye could barely see, Ashilia only reacted when the King of Winter stood before her.
The noble Elf Princess couldn’t help but tremble. She knelt on the ground and crawled before the man, crying out miserably:
“Your Majesty, I’m sorry, I’ll never dare to do it again. I shouldn’t have hurt those two demi-elves. I didn’t know you liked them so much.”
“Look, I’ve been in Winter City for so long, haven’t I? I haven’t had any conflict with any demi-elves, right? I truly didn’t know.”
“Please give me a chance to atone, don’t kill me… I, I don’t want to die yet.”
Ashilia pleaded desperately, but Xi Wei remained unmoved.
“It seems you still haven’t understood.”
He sighed and sat on a nearby chair.
However, this action did not relax Ashilia.
Because the King of Winter’s longsword clanged as it was thrust into the ground beside her.
“Winter City does not discriminate against any race.”
“Whether it’s an elf, a demi-elf, a half-elf, or an orc, as long as they obey management and follow my rules, just like you…”
“Aside from limiting your ability to activate the elven beacon, I haven’t done anything out of line to you. In fact, I’m your savior.”
Ashilia lowered her head, silently.
She knew that if the King of Winter hadn’t pulled her out of the First Prince’s clutches, she would have long since died in some military camp, fed to wild dogs.
But why hadn’t she thought of that before?
Perhaps it was the inherent pride of elves.
She was meant to be rescued.
After all, she was beautiful and of noble blood. Who would want to destroy someone like her?
“You disappoint me,” Xi Wei continued, looking at Ashilia as if she were a piece of dirty, foul-smelling garbage.
“You not only discriminated against Xin Kui and Xin Zhi, but you even harmed them.”
He shook his head, drew the longsword stuck in the floor, and stood up.
Ashilia felt the King of Winter’s movement, and her fear reached its peak.
She wasn’t the resilient type; otherwise, she would have committed suicide when the First Prince paraded her naked through the streets.
“Please, I’ll never discriminate against them again. Don’t… don’t kill me… Wuwuwu…”
“Our elven race is already having a difficult time…”
“The human army has trapped us in the Emerald Forest for hundreds of years, supplies are scarce, and elves are constantly starving or being captured and enslaved…”
“So… so, that’s why we hate humans, and naturally, we hate half-elves who are related to humans…”
Ashilia’s bitter defense.
She tried to play the sympathy card with Xi Wei, invoking the so-called great cause of the elven race and their hatred for humans, but it was clearly all in vain.
Xi Wei’s personality already dictated that he wouldn’t take Ashilia’s words seriously.
“I sympathize with you, but unfortunately, this is Winter City.”
Xi Wei raised the Conqueror’s Longsword in his hand and held it above Ashilia’s head.
A scent of urine gradually filled the air. The noble princess seemed unable to bear the fear of death any longer and lost control of herself.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the daily Villain Mission, you have obtained one draw. Do you want to draw now?]
The system’s prompt suddenly sounded. Xi Wei pursed his lips and lowered the longsword.
The supply transport team must have returned.
This triggered the completion of the mission to seize resources.
The Elf Princess in front of him still had some residual value. Killing her would be a loss. The system’s interruption also suppressed his killing intent.
“Let’s draw first,”
Xi Wei communicated with the system in his heart.
He decided that if he was satisfied with what he drew, he would spare the Elf Princess her life.
If he was not satisfied with what he drew.
Then, I’m sorry.
This Elf Princess would have to die silently in Winter Fort.
[Giao! Drawing rewards… Congratulations to the host for obtaining the unique world artifact “Blank Statue.”]
[Blank Statue] – Unique World Artifact.
The host can set the Blank Statue to their own appearance.
After the setting is complete.
The statue can be worshipped by players and natives to accumulate Faith Power.
[Faith Power]
Trait 1: Enhancement – Consuming a certain amount of Faith Power can strengthen the host’s skills. The more Faith Power consumed, the more significant the enhancement effect.
Trait 2: Descent – When a player or native prays to the statue from a great distance.
The host will gain an opportunity for ultra-long-distance descent. The descent has a time limit; after the time limit is exceeded, the host will be recalled.
The duration of the descent is related to the remaining Faith Power.
[Divinity] – The Blank Statue possesses Divinity. After using the Blank Statue, the host will gain resistance to high-level skills (such as divine arts, rules, etc.).
“Hiss—”
Xi Wei gasped.
This thing, this Blank Statue, was unexpectedly quite good~
He could almost imagine the scene:
One sunny morning.
He was enjoying himself in Winter Fort, while on a battlefield thousands of miles away, players were roaring and fighting with all their might.
Until they could no longer hold on.
They prayed sincerely in the direction of the statue.
Then, he, in Winter City, received the descent notification.
Following that, he got up from his warm and soft bed, put on his armor, slung his longsword, and descended before the players like a god.
After helping the players kill the powerful enemy.
He would be recalled by the power of the rules.
And continue to enjoy his wonderful life.
This… this was simply a Divine Artifact created for slacking off!
It would allow him to better exploit his subordinates, the players!
Xi Wei made up his mind!
He would issue a daily mission to the players every day.
That is, to pray sincerely to his statue for one hour every day!
“You’re lucky today.”
Xi Wei snorted coldly.
Although he wasn’t going to kill the Elf Princess, her death sentence was commuted, but her punishment was not, and Xin Kui’s trampled ear could not be in vain.
