Chapter 578: The Storm That Crossed a Thousand Years
"Yes!" The Town Lord nodded and explained, "The teleportation array between the mainland and Dragon’s Roar Town can’t be used because the electromagnetic field within the Storm Seal interferes with the array’s energy."If we can set up a Lightning Ring Array inside the Storm Seal, one capable of carrying lightning energy, it should connect with the teleportation array on the other side and restore the link between them. Once that happens, people will be able to travel freely between the mainland and Twin Wing Island."
His voice grew increasingly animated as he spoke. "For more than a thousand years, we’ve had no way to cross the Storm Seal, Lord.
"Yet somehow, you managed to do it. That’s why I’m begging you to help us complete something we’ve been waiting a millennium for. Cross the storm that has lasted for a thousand years and finally break the seal isolating Twin Wing Island from the mainland."
’Another quest.’ Marcus gazed out over the spectacular scenery of Twin Wing Island. If the teleportation arrays were reopened, this place would become Dominion’s number one vacation destination. With scenery like this, countless players would be willing to pay just to come here and look around.
But what exactly was in it for him? And honestly, the task itself sounded almost suspiciously simple. All he had to do was enter the Storm Seal and place the Lightning Ring Array inside. ’Too easy.’
"There is one complication, Lord," the Town Lord continued, as if he’d read Marcus’s mind. "Reaching the heart of the Storm Seal is only part of the problem. We also need the materials required to construct the Lightning Ring Array. Specifically, one hundred Millennium Thunder Beast Horns and one pair of Heavenly Thunder Leopard Horns."
’Ah. There it was.’ Marcus had known there was no way a quest involving a thousand-year-old seal could be that straightforward. The moment he heard the words "millennium" and "heavenly thunder," his stomach sank. Whatever came next was almost certainly going to be a headache.
He said nothing, simply letting the Town Lord continue.
"According to the records, Millennium Thunder Beast Horns normally only drop from the Thunder Rage Beasts that inhabit Ten-Thunder Mountain. Those monsters are level ninety.
"However, I’ve heard that some people have managed to obtain the horns from the corpses of lower-level Thunder Beasts in Thunder Dragon Ravine. If that’s true, I’m confident you should be able to gather enough, Lord."
The Town Lord paused, his expression becoming considerably more serious.
"The trouble is the Heavenly Thunder Leopard Horns. They belong to a Mythic Beast, the Heavenly Thunder Leopard that dwells on Ten-Thunder Mountain. It’s an extremely elusive creature, Lord. Finding it won’t be easy, and obtaining its horns will be even harder."
’Great. A Mythic Beast.’ So when the Town Lord had called it "the trouble," he’d actually meant "the part where you might get yourself killed."
