After helping Melisa and going with her to make more of her unique items, we moved to a nearby café, where to meet Lily, Rita, and Angelina’s party. The Queen decided to come along, changing her appearance into that of a young man, taking the identity of Black Haze, the strongest player of BNLO... Or well, the first to reach Level 300!
Her ability to transform her body appearance and even the information of her status are all pretty unique abilities, I’m not going to lie that it makes me wish I had something so conventional with me as well! But it certainly comes in handy for a queen as well, I suppose.
"Phew, we barely made it in time! Sorry for being so late, bestie," Rita sighed in relief. "I was busy dealing with my family and everything... It’s a miracle I can find time to log-in most of the time, honestly."
"You’re such a hard worker, Rita," giggled Lily. "I can’t really give a good excuse, I was actually resting and sleeping from all the exhaustion I felt yesterday... but I do feel better, I think."
"That’s totally understandable, honestly," I said. "You’ve all gone through a lot. So its only normal you would feel so tired and exhausted! Also Angelina, welcome back! How have things treated you and everyone else?"
"Good so far, we were busy with our personal life, work, family, and so on," Angelina said. "Sorry for being absent for a couple of days, but right now we’re finally free, so let us join you in whatever we can! ...Wait, is that Black Haze at your side?!"
"Yeah I was thinking the same thing nya! What the hell nyaaa?!" gasped Anikitty. "BLACK HAZEEEE!"
"I guess this shouldn’t be surprising, Planta might have her connections," said Erdrich, nodding while a small skeleton merchant was standing by his side.
"Huh, so things are finally going to start soon..." Rita said. "I can’t say I’m not nervous, this is going to be quite big."
"It’ll be an intense battle where everything will be on stake, so of course it’ll be big," I said. "I’m also really nervous, despite how much we’ve prepared. We need to prepare even more! So, for now, let’s go to the druid guild, we need to quickly make sure their preparations are complete. We can’t be their help, even less the assistance of Lady Verdant, a literal goddess."
"Uwaah! So she’s really helping nyah?! Sugoi!" said Anikitty. "Then it’ll be a piece of cake with a goddess by our side!"
"I don’t know about that, her presence can only be summoned temporarily," said the queen.
"She also requires a lot of preparation time, the druids had already begun doing that though, she needs a gigantic domain to summon her divine presence," said Mark. "But I think it’ll work anyways. The thing is, we need to know when we can time her summoning perfectly, to make the best use of her strength."
"He’s right," nodded Elena. "We shouldn’t summon her immediately after the battle begins, but in the middle maybe, when it seems like Merlinus has the upper hand, or he pulls out something ridiculous. Which, based on how old and strong he is, it’s very likely."
"We’ve only seen but a fragment of his true capabilities," said the Queen. "And the records about what he can do are also very short, he had been hiding his powers for hundreds of years. Most of what he’s capable of doing is unknown to us."
"As long as we can secure the citizens’ safety, I think we got half the job done," I said. "Now, let’s go, we have to talk with the druids and see if everything is right. We’ll need to fully coordinate everything, and also leave several ways to communicate from afar."
I hurriedly drank my cappuccino and ate my strawberry muffin, rushing to the druid guild with everyone else.
