Players' NPC boss

When he heard a familiar flapping of wings, Blazer knew the chicken was back.

This guy wasn't worried at all. After knowing the effect of the world-class item 100 million wish cards, he almost slapped his belly and shouted that he was a sure winner.

But when the chicken came back, his expression was unexpectedly serious. After arriving, he noticed that Herbie and the others were still there and shook his head towards the woods on one side. Apparently he had something secret to say/

Blaze followed, and after making sure no one was around, Chicken got right to the point.

"I went to the battle place agreed upon by you and Teresa. The place has undergone tremendous changes and has turned into a ruin of the Age of Gods. This should have something to do with you, right?"

Blaze was silent for a moment. He didn't expect that the chicken would actually find him. But he didn't intend to hide the matter, not to mention that Chicken seemed to know about the one-eyed thing very well, so he told Chicken what happened.

Among them was Odin, the old man from the fruit stall who came to remind him.

Blaze thought the chicken would make a fuss, but the chicken's reaction was unexpectedly calm, as if it had anticipated this situation.

"It's my fault. I didn't expect that the blacksmith's breakthrough to the highest level would trigger the one-eyed curse." Chicken blamed himself very much, which was probably the reason why Chicken went to the agreed place.

"In that case, even if I knew there were such side effects, I would use it without hesitation. So did you find anything in that ruins?"

Blaze only comforted him for a moment or two before getting down to business. He knew that the more comfort he received, the more the chicken would blame himself, so it was better to let the chicken divert its attention quickly.

"Oh, I almost forgot, I picked up something from there and came back to vomit-"

The chicken suddenly retched and vomited out a special diamond-shaped object inlaid with blue crystals.

"This is it?" Blaze saw that it looked familiar, so he leaned over and picked it up. After looking at it carefully, he realized what it was.

This is a decoration on Teresa's chest that generates special energy.

【Ark Engine】

[The highest technological crystallization of the Age of Gods, the main energy source of the Ark of Salvation, can also be used to drive all the technologies of the Age of Gods. But the fuel in it has been burned out long ago, leaving only residual heat. To start again, it needs to be rekindled. 】

"That guy...lost?" Blazer handed the [Ark Engine] to his forehead. The crystal attached to Theresa's chest seemed to record the beating of Theresa's fiery heart.

"Not necessarily." The chicken started retching again, spitting out a wing-shaped fragment.

[Mind Eagle Crown Helmet-Wisdom Fragments]

[The crown helmet is modeled after the eagle, the king of the sky, and consists of an eagle body symbolizing kingship, a right wing symbolizing prophecy, and a left wing symbolizing wisdom. This is the left wing that symbolizes wisdom. 】

"They should have lost both sides in the fight. No, it should be said that Theresa defeated One-Eye, but lost to the thing under One-Eye's shell."

"Is this what you mean by the second generation one-eyed man?" Blaze pinched his chin and combined Theresa's words with the old lion's description of God.

The old lion once mentioned that the higher the existence, the more mysterious it is, and the more susceptible it is to earth-shaking influences. It can even be said that the rotation of the world itself is a reflection of the fate of these extremely high-level existences.

The one-eye of the first generation may have been divided due to a rotation of the world, and all of it, including the image, was combined into the body of another god. The division may symbolize betrayal or injury, while the new combination after rotation symbolizes the change of power.

In other words, this second-generation One-Eye is most likely the result of the combination of two gods. It is not enough to defeat the [One-Eye] side, the other one must be defeated.

And that other weakness is what Odin calls the [Golden Branch of Life].

Although Blazer had never heard of the Golden Bough of Life.

"By the way, aren't you going to vomit something else?" Blaze had no clue, so he simply turned around and started teasing the chicken.

"For example, the spear that can make wishes. I believe your size can swallow that big spear."

"Don't be too greedy, that place is full of strange Graims now, it's extremely dangerous! Look at my butt!" The chicken immediately jumped up, raising its buttocks to show off its burnt feathers.

"And you have to know that One-Eye leaves as the winner. It's good that I can pick up the dropped items."

"In other words, the opponent has lost the wisdom crown fragment..." Blaze immediately turned his head and looked at the left wing fragment in his hand seriously.

"Did it get lost accidentally, or did you deliberately not look for it?"

"It's most likely intentional. After all, in the eyes of those powerful and almost omnipotent gods, wisdom is the most insignificant part. It's better to change to something else."

The chicken's words made Blazer think deeply. If life on earth is like ants to God, then wisdom is indeed not needed. Not to mention the power that can flatten civilization, one can easily see through all conspiracies with a holistic view.

Not to mention that the other right wing symbolizes foresight. You can even peek into the future, so why do you need wisdom?

However, for the creatures on earth, picking up this insignificant wisdom for gods is enough to open their horizons and see higher dimensions.

"Let's ask Master Hard to do some research. He learned from the dwarves, and he might be able to use this thing to reveal some secrets that he doesn't want to tell. And..."

Blaze placed the left wing feather symbolizing wisdom on the left side of the chest armor and said half-jokingly.

"Maybe we can't make this thing into some kind of decoration to improve intelligence."

"..." Chicken didn't respond, but fell silent, as if thinking of some not-so-good possibility.

"Did you think of anything?" Blaze frowned. Chicken usually chattered non-stop and rarely fell silent suddenly.

"I wonder if Theresa knocked off a wing on the crown of the One-Eye and saw the true face of the One-Eye, or destroyed all the armor including the crown."

"If it's the former, it's fine, but the latter means that the One-Eye will find a way to repair his armor. Only dwarves or dwarf hybrids can repair armor of that level."

[Research log]

[Considering that the high degree of freedom of the game will inevitably lead to the death of key NPCs, the countermeasure launched is the logic self-correction function]

[When something that is bound to happen in the game world, that is, the task cannot be promoted for some reason, then a certain value will increase, and other NPCs will be used to promote the task instead. 】

【However, the problem of the world quest being unable to proceed due to the NPC overlap incident could never be solved, because both NPCs were irreplaceable. Fortunately, the newly generated world props allowed the quest to proceed successfully. Although the content of one year later was revealed in advance, it was generally good. 】

【But I am still very worried. The current quest process is undoubtedly out of control. While the plot development is full of unknowns, it will still reach the set plot node】

【I don’t know whether it is good or bad】

【This is related to the highest level of the future forger, as well as the subsequent world equipment】
