Chapter 268 Do You Have An Enchanter At Home?

Just as William was on the run, the City of Dawn players started to miss their prince.

The other NPCs were very deceptive!

The City of Dawn players were in the middle of two missions now.

One was ‘Endless Exploration’, which was about the sea.

The other one was to help the Slovan Dukedom defeat the dark creatures and rebuild their nation.

These two S-rank missions were supposed to be easy and rewarding.

The players were already used to William taking the lead to charge at the front, while they followed behind and cleaned up after him.

It was only until now that they realized not all NPCs were so nice to players. Not every NPC wanted to fight at the front line.

Also, not all NPCs cared whether they lived or not.

Most of the time, if William sent them to die, there would be an additional mission reward to make up for their lost experience and equipment.

However, in the Slovan Dukedom, both the King that lost his nation and the nobles in it, they could only be described with one word!

Stingy!

They only had one main mission reward per day. Frankly speaking, the reward could not be considered as little. It was much more as compared to some solo mercenaries and was around the same as the other overseas players!

However, they had worked under William, which was many times better.

Hundreds of thousands of players in the Slovan Dukedom missed William more and more. They felt just like the men who had not seen their wives in months, having an unbearable desire to return to William…

As compared to the players in the Slovan Dukedom, the 15,000 players who left with the naval fleet were considered better off.

On the journey with the naval fleet, they had the opportunity to see many marine creatures, small islands, and even some terrifying deep-sea monsters.

If not for the fact that the two ships had artillery and the intimidating aura of a dragon, their corpses would be seen floating in the sea.

After half a month, they finally found ‘Mermen Island’ with Jack’s luck.

That was right.

That island wasn’t small, and there were many magical beasts on it. There were also many large mermen that lived in the sea normally.

They were called large mermen, but they were just about 1.3 to 1.5 meters, around the same average height as the Dwarfs.

Whenever the naval fleet wanted to dock, they were attacked by the mermen. Since the mermen had a geographical advantage, the battle was a tough one!

Not only did they have to face the mermen at the seaside, but they also had to be wary of the mermen that popped out from the sea at the same time.

Luckily, the two Epic warships had artillery.

The naval fleets lined up all of them, and hundreds of artillery roared.

Artillery fire covered the entirety of the white sandy beach, turning it into a dark mass.

The artillery that were infused with magic caused an unimaginable physical and psychological damage to the mermen.

This bunch of mermen carrying small tridents were confused. They had not seen artillery before…

They were filled with fear. As several rounds of artillery fired out, tens of thousands of small mermen died while the others fled.

As the vanguard troop, the players hurried onto the island and started a battle against the small mermen who didn’t want to leave their home…

In short, this was like a battle against primitive creatures.

The two S-rank missions that the players received weren’t considered to be very simple.

There were still hundreds of thousands of dark creatures left in the Slovan Dukedom. The City of Dawn players made up the main troop. The players had been scolding the NPCs all day long, saying that their rewards weren’t enough.

But the King of the Slovan Dukedom and the nobles silently suffered. They didn’t have enough money. Having defended against the Darkness invasion for a few months, a huge amount of their resources and money had been depleted, and the legions had paid a huge price too.

Currently, other than the Royal Guard Legion, which had around 1000 people, the other legions could form merely 5 complete legions if combined together!

But they were the foundation of the nation. It would be a waste to use them to defend against dark creatures!

If they wanted to rebuild their nation, they could only depend on mercenaries and the group of Temple Knights that came to help of their own accord.

There were so many players from the City of Dawn. A reward for one player seemed little, but if it was all added up, the Slovan Dukedom was spending astronomical figures every day…

Luckily, the King of the Slovan Dukedom and the nobles were making concerted efforts; otherwise, they couldn’t even afford the players’ rewards.

Changli Jiuge and the other professional players didn’t participate in the two missions.

They clearly knew that the S-rank missions seemed to offer good rewards. But without Prince William, they couldn’t earn too much from those supposed S-rank missions. Only the average players would benefit a little from it.

Intermediate professional players like them who already had a full set of Gold equipment needed to work hard for Dark-Gold, Epic, and even Legendary equipment now.

Therefore, they started to target Stormy Island, which had not been fully developed.

“Do you see that? I said long ago that there is something different about Stormy Island!” Chu Liuqiu smiled and pointed to the huge mural painting below the canyon, as well as the gate of the temple that was heavily guarded by the City of Dawn soldiers.

“Damn, what is this? What a huge entrance! Even if I use my insight, it is still all question marks.” Changli Jiuge gawked at the sight, but he wasn’t able to determine what this ancient ruin was.

Xiao Ayin pouted. “This thing below the canyon was discovered by Prince William a long time ago, or rather, he probably came here just for this ancient ruin. It’s no use for us to harp on this. We might as well go find some magical potions and sell them to the NPCs. That would be profitable.”

Chu Liuqiu licked his lips and nodded. “You’re right. Magical potions are very valuable to NPCs as they can help in their training or produce other better effects.

“Besides, some rare magical potions can permanently boost attributes, which is a good thing for us too. Experience and rewards from the main missions don’t mean much!

“Anyway, half a year is not enough for us to upgrade to Advanced…

“If we take into account the dark creatures that we killed along the way, we might be able to put together a set of Epic equipment in half a year.”

All the various clubs had done their calculations.

The Intermediate professionals needed too many experience points to level up.

At the end of Version 2.0, they would barely hit the minimum experience points for level 60.

Before Version 2.0 ended, a one-time global tournament would be held. At that time, it was not a few attributes that would decide the winner. Other key factors also included the player’s equipment, skills, and his understanding of the game.

Long before, various clubs around the world had started formulating plans that would benefit their professional players the most.

Stormy Island was the key factor for the two major clubs in the City of Dawn, Glory Club, and Prosperity Millennium Club.

As for the newcomer clubs? They had to wait for their turn…

Besides, professional players were excellent at game operations. With only a few people, they could kill some Intermediate magical beasts and even Advanced magical beasts by playing to their advantage of the equipment, skills, and hidden occupations.

As one would definitely profit regardless of whether one sold Advanced magical beast Materials or used them as equipment.

Actually, there was another more important reason.

Some management authorities of the clubs discovered something different about Stormy Island and Mermen Island through the players’ live-broadcasts.

If the magical beasts and creatures on Mermen Island were considered to be common species, the creatures on Stormy Island were also very common.

It could also be said that Stormy Island was at least a few thousand years behind their world.

There must be a lot of secrets hidden within it.

Even if Lord William had reaped all the major benefits already, the other secrets were still too much for the professional players now.

It was just that Stormy Island had been discovered before Mermen Island, so many average players didn’t think much of Stormy Island and didn’t value its resources.

The professionals knew this little secret.

Some skilled players also knew this little secret.

However, no one was willing to share. Everyone wanted a share of the resources from Stormy Island before it was revealed.

The average players would get to play with their used toys after they completed the two S-rank missions.

For the next 5 or 6 days, William and the others didn’t encounter any vampires who were pursuing them.

However, eventually, the time came.

Blood Devil had brought along more Blood Shadow Assassins this time. There were as many as 20 Advanced vampires.

Luckily, William had been increasing his affinity with Bryan recently. In the past two days, he struck while the iron was hot and had given Bryan a drop of Life Potion as an antidote so that their affinity could reach 800 points.

Bryan had resurrected on the spot, and his butt had completely recovered. His combat power had also been fully restored.

Therefore, the 20 Blood Shadow Assassins with 3 Legendary, 6 Epic, and other Grandmasters were about to engage in battle with 5 Legendary BOSSES at their best state.

William was smiling while carrying the Sword of Hegni. Looking at Blood Devil, who had changed his weapon, he could not help but laugh. “Wow, someone has a lot of resources, huh, to be able to change top-quality weapons at will.”

“That’s none of your business.” Blood Devil narrowed his eyes. The long dark sword in his hand now was the weapon that the Dark Lord used when he had been in the Intermediate phase.

For the Dark Lord, who was like his father, to entrust this weapon to him, it proved how much he trusted him.

He must kill William with this sword.

No! That guy whose butthole was injured was also going to die here.

He was annoyed when he thought about this. He had been tricked by them earlier on. This guy in front of him now was the Lord of the City of Dawn, and the one with the injured butthole was Bryan Scarlet Flame.

Well, it didn’t matter since both of them were going to die here.

Blood Devil didn’t believe that the 5 people here could escape today.

He waved his hand. “Kill them all, leave none behind.”

At that moment, the others jointly attacked the four people behind William.

Blood Devil would have a solo battle with William.

He must get revenge for the humiliation he suffered.

Blood Devil was in good condition now. He used his teleportation endowment and appeared in front of William, immediately attacking with his sword in a vicious manner.

Buzz! Buzz…

In that one second, William could feel all the hairs on his body stand on end!

Therefore, he sneered and raised his left hand, attempting to grab it.

Swish!

Blood Devil knew that there was something up with his left hand, and he did not give him a chance to grab his sword. He teleported again behind William.

Pst!

Pst!

The sounds of 2 weapons cutting into flesh could be heard.

Their weapons pierced into each other’s bodies at the same time.

Woosh!

Blood splattered in mid-air.

They pulled out their weapon at the same time and started their battle with bloody melee combat.

The two of them wanted to kill each other.

Blood Devil kept using his blood control and stabbing his sword into William’s body.

William pressed on and ignored the bursting blood vessels in his body. He wielded two Legendary weapons and hacked at Blood Devil.

After 5 minutes, Blood Devil was again stunned.

William had become stronger again, or rather, his Defense was at least two times stronger than a few days ago.

What the h*ll?

Wasn’t he a ranger?

Wasn’t he an Advanced professional?

Why was his defense better than a Grandmaster professional?

“Someone come and kill this lad with me.” Blood Devil couldn’t take it. William was using magical scrolls as if it didn’t cost money!

He really wanted to ask if William had an enchanter at home who was very bored and created magical scrolls for him.

F*ck.

That was really infuriating!
