Chapter 1843: Stage 1 Complete
After everything, we quickly reverted to our smaller, less inconspicuous appearances, and decided to rest over the city's plaza.
In there, while finally, at long last, at peace, while drinking cold drinks and eating ice cream, we were able to sigh in relief.
"That was a huge event..." Miranda groaned. "There's no way there's more than this right?" "Mlem~!" Drakda was drinking ice cream while sitting over his mother's lap.
"There's definitely more," said Benladann. "I doubt we would remain in the trial if there weren't unfinished business to take care of."
"Yeah... mom's right..." Benladra sighed, yawning. "I'm a bit sleepy though. Can't we sleep in this trial?"
"I think we could once we take the train, Benladra. So wait a little bit more," I said, patting her head. "For that though, we need to first talk with Emil and all the people we rescued. I don't know what'll be of them now..."
"Is it okay to leave them on their own?" wondered Kate. "Won't they get captured again?" "Hmm..."
With the death of the Esper God and the prompt rescue of Drakda, it was finally over, and we could finally relax...
Or so I wished, because the Trial wasn't stopping or kicking us out of it. Fighting the Esper God wasn't the end of this.
Not at all.
It seemed, however, that we've finally cleared the First Stage of the Trial, so that's that!
Ding!
[You have progressed through the {Special Trial Storyline Quest}: [Explore the City of Lost Souls: El Perdido]!]
[Explore the Central Plaza and Visit 5 Shops or Restaurants]: [5/5] (COMPLETE)
[Talk to the Locals and Learn About Their Problems and Solve Them]: [3/3] (Larry's Side Quest Completed) (Henrietita Side Quest Completed) (Emil Side Quest Completed) (COMPLETE)
[You've learned the big contrast of El Perdido, and one of the things that make this city so unique and also important to this world and its people. Where both criminals and honest hard-working people live together, this is the contrast and perhaps, the balance of the Colony World.]
[Now, with Emil and his tribe freed, the only thing left to do for you and your family is to go on board of the train and reach the Golden Spire Race, where the last stage of this trial awaits
you.]
[Each Stage of the Trial will reward you with Points and Rewards based in your clear time and also your performance, actions, and many other variables from every member of the party. However, all rewards will be saved for the end.]
[You have accumulated +1.700.000 Score Trial Points!]
[Once you finally can Rank Up your Class, you can use these points to decide how powerful it will become. Accumulate as many points as possible by interacting with the world, its people, and even fighting with evil foes.]
"So that's how it is... It also got a score system," I explained. "It seems fairly simple too... I'm guessing everyone will have the same score points at the end... I hope. There's two Stages more to go. Let's hope they won't be as long as this one."
"Let's hope!" nodded Miranda with annoyance. "Anyways, Kate, how are they doing?"
"They're fine," said Kate. "Emil just woke up and he's talking with his people... I think they're just happy he rescued them, and they're thanking him. Ah, it seems they want to come out
already."
"We should move somewhere else then, with less people, let's go," I said.
We moved through the skies after eating ice cream, reaching a good spot that wasn't
dangerous looking nor that it was filled with lots of people.
And right there, Emil and the huge group of people from his tribe we rescued walked out, they
seemed much happier than before.
The first thing he did after seeing us again was thanking us.
"Drake, everyone... Thank you so much," he said. "For everything..."
