Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

The final resting place of the Victorian kings.

The national sword, "Breath of Kings".

Even Bai Ye couldn't help but catch his breath. That was the Breath of Kings, a treasure that had been passed down among players in the past, and now it was only a palm's width away from him.

He could simply reach out and grab the key; the weapon would essentially be in his hands.

That is a dazzling treasure of this land, its quality must be at least legendary.

Victoria has two national treasures: The Shard and the national sword, the Breath of Kings.

It is said that the Breath of Kings, which can cleave through natural disasters, is Victoria's strongest shield, strong enough to withstand any storms it is drawn into.

Bai Ye didn't know how this sword compared to the wind chime that Nian had personally forged, but even he was somewhat envious.

……

Bai Ye stared intently at the key in front of her, then suddenly let out a soft breath and raised her head.

He gently reached out his hand and, under Wei Yanwu's gaze, placed it on the box. With a "click-clack" sound, the gears turned again, and the box was closed, cutting off their view of each other.

"Lord Wei has really given me quite a challenge," Bai Ye laughed.

"How do you know?" Wei Yanwu raised an eyebrow.

“The distance from Lungmen to the core city of Chernobog isn’t long, but it’s not short either. I just came from there, and now I have to go back, which is quite troublesome,” Bai Ye said with a smile.

"Isn't the difficult thing the key that's right in front of you, readily available?"

"To be honest, I really want to see what Victoria's treasures are all about, but that's about it. I'll just take a look next time when Sister Tazi opens the door." Bai Ye shrugged, not caring at all.

"Moreover, the power a weapon can unleash depends on the person wielding it. Chen Huijie and Chi Xiao are the best examples of this."

Although Bai Ye's collecting hobby as a player was acting up, he still managed to suppress the restlessness in his heart.

Wei Yanwu said that this was Honglong's relic, which was also Sister Tazi's.

Chapter 137 Old Trade

Bai Ye walked out of Wei Yanwu's office.

The elusive ninja Shirayuki personally escorted him out of the building.

Normally, there are dedicated receptionists who do this kind of thing, but Bai Ye is an exception.

In his inventory, the key to the final resting place of the kings lay quietly in its box.

Wei Yanwu laughed and entrusted the key to him.

Fine, let's run to the core area one more time.

After all, Lao Wei gave too much.

Bai Ye recalled his conversation with Wei Yanwu before he left—

……

"Alright, I'll take it then?" Bai Ye reached out and pressed down on the key box, then put it into his pocket—that is, his inventory.

"It should arrive around this afternoon. The owner of North Cross Logistics will personally transport this package for you, Lord Wei. Hmph—"

Bai Ye said irritably.

"How is the shipping cost calculated?" Wei Yanwu asked with great interest.

Bai Ye laughed:

“Last time you taught me the Crimson Sky Sword Technique—I don’t like owing people things, so this time I’ll run an errand for you, and that will settle things.”

"Whoa—" Even Wei Yanwu did not expect Bai Ye to say such a thing.

In fact, even if Bai Ye made an outrageous demand at this moment, he would have no choice but to agree.

After all, only Bai Ye can do this.

While he had no doubt about the loyalty of the Black-Cloaked Shadow Guards, their identities were too sensitive, and the journey to another country made Wei Yanwu worried about being exposed. As for other messengers? Even trusted confidants might cause him concern about unforeseen circumstances.

After all, that was the key to the final resting place of all the kings. Obtaining the key was tantamount to holding half of the "Breath of the Kings" in one's hands. Wei Yanwu dared not gamble on even the slightest possibility of an accident.

After thinking it over, he felt at ease only if Bai Ye delivered it.

To his surprise, Bai Ye didn't make any demands.

After a moment of stunned silence, Wei Yanwu couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

"No wonder Huijie gets along so well with you... There aren't many people like you left on this land."

"I won't let you do this for nothing. In the future, you can just ask for whatever you want."

"The martial arts manuals of the Great Yan Dynasty, the celestial master's magic arts, information on giant beasts... you should be very interested in these, right?"

It must be said that Wei Yanwu's offer was quite generous, so Bai Ye reluctantly agreed. These items were very attractive to players.

Even the night of the sun is no exception.

However, since developing that thing, his need for these things wasn't as urgent as before. But since Old Wei had said so himself, he wouldn't refuse.

Not taking advantage of a good deal is idiotic!

In the very end, Bai Ye asked Wei Yanwu a question:

"Why does Lord Wei know that I brought Sister Tazi here?"

“Because at that time, I was right next to the nameless grave,” Wei Yanwu replied.

Clearly, Bai Ye and Talulah were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't realize Old Wei OMO was nearby.

"Old Wei, why are you just watching from the sidelines? You should be meeting her," Bai Ye said, dissatisfied.

“The governor of Lungmen cannot meet with nobles of the Ursus Empire at will; this is a diplomatic issue between the two countries,” Wei Yanwu insisted.

This guy isn't exactly straightforward either...

-------------------------------------

Having regained his composure, Bai Ye left the administration building. After explaining the situation to the deep-sea hunters, Bai Ye set off again towards the core city.

The familiar sonic boom sounded again over Lungmen.

Yes, the citizens of Lungmen are already familiar with the sudden explosions and the white streaks that cut across the sky. This has become a unique spectacle in Lungmen and a legendary urban tale.

Of course, upon hearing this familiar voice, many people will also look up at the sky.

They will know that the White Night flew over Lungmen.

Yes, Bai Ye deliberately didn't eliminate the sonic boom, which can be considered a silent greeting to his old friends.

He knew that upon hearing this sound, someone would look up and search for him in the sky.

Wei Yanwu would stand by the window of a high-rise building, watching the white streak of the night sky, lost in thought.

Bai Ye enjoyed this feeling.

Having someone watching you from behind when you go out is actually a very happy thing.

Bai Ye didn't actually want to understand this happiness, because only by losing it will one know its value.

The cost of this process is simply too high.

……

Bai Ye actually held back somewhat against Wei Yanwu. With his speed, he wouldn't even need to wait until the afternoon to fly to the core city.

It won't take long; he's already very familiar with the route.

Soon, Bai Ye returned to this place.

This time, he found Talulah at the city hall.

"white night?!"

Upon seeing Bai Ye, the white-haired red dragon girl was clearly very surprised. She looked at Bai Ye with delight as he entered the room through the window.

"Hey, good afternoon, you look great!" Bai Ye smiled and waved.

"Sorry, this place is a bit messy... I'm sorry to have you see me looking so untidy." Talulah said somewhat embarrassedly as she tidied up the messy desk.

"These are... blueprints?" Bai Ye asked curiously as she stepped forward to look at them.

“Yes, Alina and Yelena have been busy acquiring new urban land plots lately, and I’m also planning the use and layout of these new plots,” Talulah replied with a smile.

"Things are really thriving," Bai Ye remarked.

"Hehe, thanks to your help, the core city has become what it is today." Talulah gazed at Bai Ye.

Since making her decision last time, Talulah's gaze towards Baiye has changed. Clearly, the girl is not good at hiding herself in front of her friends. Unfortunately, Baiye is also a blockhead and cannot understand the true meaning behind the girl's burning gaze.

"Thanking me like this now feels a bit distant," Bai Ye said, placing Edward's belongings on the table. "I'm here on a mission today."

Bai Ye has essentially returned to his old profession, serving as a messenger to deliver packages for Wei Yanwu.

"Sign and fingerprint this document to acknowledge receipt, and my task is complete."

Bai Ye stretched as he spoke.

"This... was given to me by Uncle Wei Yanwu?"

Actually, Talulah's way of addressing Wei Yanwu is a bit confusing. Her father is Wei Yanwu's sworn brother, but her mother is Wei Yanwu's sister.

Wei Yanwu was both her maternal uncle and her paternal uncle.

It's amazing, right?

“Yes, he thinks this should be given to you.” Bai Ye said, handing the girl a handwritten letter from Wei Yanwu.

"Because this is your biological father's keepsake."

Chapter 138 Sister Ta

The word "father" was quite foreign to Talulah.

She never saw her father from birth; she was raised by her mother, but after her birth, her mother became someone else's mother. Under Koschei's orchestration, a captivating, bizarre, and poignant family drama unfolds in Lungmen.

However, on Requiem Night, Bai Ye took Talulah to Lungmen to pay respects at the graves, which gave Talulah a deeper understanding of her origins. After all, the girl was kidnapped by the Black Serpent when she was a human infant and had been raised by him ever since, making her childhood memories less clear.

And now, Bai Ye has placed Edward's belongings in front of her.

"Don't look at me like that. Old Wei entrusted me to give this thing to you... Hmph, that guy really knows how to order people around, making them travel back and forth to the core city twice a day." Bai Ye said from the side, while also complaining about the inhuman Commander Wei Yanwu.

"However, he is right. These are your biological father's belongings and should now be handed over to you."

"Old Wei..."

Hearing Bai Ye address her uncle in that way, Talulah smiled but didn't care at all. She was already used to Bai Ye calling Wei Yanwu "Old Wei." In fact, that guy wasn't old at all. In terms of the lifespan of his race, he still had a long life ahead of him. This was a long-lived race.

However, this form of address only made Talulah feel incredibly warm and familiar.

She smiled, picked up the box Bai Ye had given her, and then carefully opened it.

She was also very curious about what kind of legacy her father, whom she had never met, would leave her.

Just like Bai Ye when she opened the box, Miss Talulah was also slightly taken aback. However, unlike the well-informed Bai Ye, even though she was a noble lady carefully raised by the Black Serpent, Talulah had never seen such a thing before, and she could not tell what it was for.

After all, players are the most knowledgeable group on this land. Although they were unfamiliar with this world at first, after exploring it for two versions, they understand this land even better than the natives.

Bai Ye explained with a smile:

"This is a key, the key to unlocking the final resting place of the Victorian kings."

“Deep within the tombs of the kings, on a sword stand, stands Victoria’s national treasure, the sword ‘Breath of the Kings’.”

As expected, Talulah showed a shocked expression as soon as Bai Ye finished speaking.

"It's...that key?"

“Yes, your biological father took this key with him when he was banished by the former King Aslan.” Bai Ye nodded.

"Now, it's time for you to inherit this key."

Bai Ye felt a surge of excitement within him. Yes, he felt a distinct sense of exhilaration because before him, the red dragon girl received the legacy of inheritance. This was an incredibly important historical moment, and Bai Ye was a witness to it firsthand. He felt as if he were witnessing history.

It's practically a meticulously crafted cutscene from the game company; it would be even better if there were organ music playing for her at that moment.

Bai Ye enjoyed this feeling.
