I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 517 [Sword of the Glory Knight] and the Gray Robe Man

Green Wind City, Mercenary Guild,

Blair looked at Li Si in surprise, not knowing how to respond.

He was very sure that this was the first time he met this young man who called himself Li Si, and why he actually invited him to join the newly formed White Dove Mercenary Group.

Just now he thought that Li Si was going to force him to stay and then take back all the rewards in exchange for his brass ring, but he soon realized that there was no need for the other party to do so.

Anyway, Li Si's strength had completely crushed him. Let alone escaping, Blair felt that there was no room for resistance.

Why bother making so much trouble? It would be better to just wait for him to leave and then strike him unconscious.

Although he wasn't that worried, Blair still felt very strange.

For some reason, Li Si gave him the impression that he knew him very well.

But he was obviously just an ordinary traveling merchant. Although he was a silver-rank ranger, he should be nothing in front of this noble boy.

Li Si picked up the wine glass and said with a smile:

"You don't have to look so scared. I do know you in advance."

"You want to return to your hometown and set up a chamber of commerce of your own, right?"

The noise in the mercenary tavern continued, but Blair had no intention of paying attention to others.

He felt as if he was naked and was seen through by Li Si who was sitting in front of him. There was no secret at all.

"The wealth I gave you is enough for you to set up a small chamber of commerce, but are you willing to just leave it at that?"

Li Si tapped the round table in front of him with his right hand and said with a smile:
"You should know that if you come to help me, your starting point will be much better than if you fight alone, and if you encounter any danger, I can also provide you with shelter."

"I can even promise that if you do well in the White Dove Mercenary Group, you can become the president of my subordinate chamber of commerce, or I can help you establish a new chamber of commerce."

Li Si smiled and offered Blair an offer that seemed quite generous to others, but he didn't care.

After all, what he gave Blair seemed like a lot, but it was just some wealth after all.

After leaving the Forest of Elves, thanks to the tremendous wealth accumulated from countless years of trade between the Elf Kingdom and the Human Kingdom, in addition to satisfying the development of Nature's Wrath, the small treasury accumulated by Li Si was quite sufficient.

The fifty thousand gold coins just given to Blair were nothing to Li Si.

Blair's experience in his previous life proved that he was a very capable and talented person. Li Si was happy to spend a little money to save himself a lot of trouble.

And to be honest, Li Si felt pretty good about having those plot NPCs from his previous life working for him.

".I do."

Although he was a little confused, Blair still agreed to Li Si's proposal.

There’s no way, these conditions are too good!
Whether it was purchasing his brass ring before, or inviting him to work for him now, the conditions provided by Li Si were too good for him, a silver-level ranger.

Blair also noticed the awe-filled looks that the mercenaries and tavern waiters around him gave Li Si. The young man in front of him seemed to be an important figure he didn't know.

Given this opportunity, Blair briefly considered it and decided to agree decisively.

There are so many stronger mercenaries in the mercenary guild, and only a few have the opportunity to enter a higher level.

Undoubtedly, for many mercenaries, serving the kingdom or being employed by a noble is a very good path, but there are not many mercenaries who can encounter such an opportunity.

Blair knew very well that it was quite difficult to get such an opportunity with his strength, and the invitation from Li Si was a very rare opportunity.

After receiving Blair's affirmative reply, Li Si nodded slightly and threw Blair a badge engraved with a flapping white dove.

Just leave the affairs of the White Dove Mercenary Group to Blair. They are just trivial matters anyway, and he has long wanted to find a helper to handle them.

Li Si has already figured out the operating mode of the White Dove Mercenary Group, and all that remains is to slowly harvest the players' experience points.

Apart from similar bounty missions, Li Si doesn't care much about other things.

After all, the players in the leek field have a very high level of self-awareness.

Especially when stimulated by someone else.
Li Si glanced at Heimalou who was standing obediently aside and seemed to be recording something, then left with Blair.

By handing over the mercenary group's affairs, Li Si would be able to free up his hands to deal with the evil god's followers in Cuifeng City.

Watching Li Si and Blair leave, Heimalo looked excited.

How can a child cry every day, how can a dog bet lose every day!
Didn't he make the right bet this time?
Hey~
[You have completed bounty mission 8: [Find the merchant Blair]!]
[You get the task reward: 100 million experience points, a gold-level weapon (randomly drawn from the White Dove Chamber of Commerce store)]
[Do you want to start drawing rewards?]
[whether]--
Excited heart, trembling hands.

Heimalo clicked on the reward drawing interface, and a special golden roulette wheel appeared in front of him.

In the center of the roulette wheel was a white dove emblem, which Blair was very familiar with; it was the logo of the White Dove Chamber of Commerce.

The golden roulette wheel exudes charming colorful glow. The golden pointer points to the twelve o'clock position of the roulette wheel. There are dozens of different spaces under the pointer. In each space, phantoms of various weapons appear, which makes Darkmaro a little dazzled.

Heimalou remembered very clearly that although the rewards given by Li Si before included gold-level weapons and equipment, the contribution points required from the White Dove Chamber of Commerce were too high.

All the players could only drool at the gold-level equipment in the exchange store. The contribution value numbers were followed by a series of zeros, leaving the players with no idea what to do.

So far, no player has gold-level equipment!
But it's different now!
When Heimalo saw the lottery wheel, he looked it over from top to bottom.

There are no words like "Thank you for your patronage" and no space for lottery points, nor is there an option to indicate how many points you need to accumulate to redeem gold-level equipment.

In other words, with just a click, he would become the first player in the server to own gold-level equipment.

Become the coolest guy on the player forum!
Heimalo washed his face and hands solemnly, folded his hands in front of his chest, closed his eyes and prayed to the goddess of luck for good luck.

If he wasn't so anxious, he would even take a bath and change clothes to show his sincerity.

Heimalo pressed the button to draw the reward with a serious expression. He stared at the pointer on the turntable and started to spin it faster. His heart was in his throat.

Heimalo felt as if he was on a roller coaster, with the golden pointer slowly sliding across each different appearance of gold-level equipment, rising and falling continuously.

Finally, the pointer stopped at five o'clock and landed on a golden sword.
-
Hey~
[Rewards drawn!]
[Congratulations on obtaining the gold-level weapon [Sword of the Glory Knight]!]
[Equipment: [Sword of Glory Knight]

Rank: Gold

Introduction: A precious sword made of precious materials such as hundred-forged steel and mithril through the hands of famous craftsmen. It cuts iron silently and has a sharp edge. It can effectively strengthen the power of the user's physical attacks.

Equipment Effect 1: [Attribute Enhancement] Strength attribute +150 points, Endurance attribute +150 points

Equipment Effect 2: [Sharp]

It has a penetrating effect on defenses lower than gold level, and the attack power is increased by 20%.
Equipment effect 3: [Disabled]

Equipment effect 4: [Glory]

After special enchantment, this long sword shines with golden dawn in battle, just like the glory of a hero——
"Wocao!"

Heimalo, who was originally sitting in the mercenary tavern, cursed with a look of joy, causing the surrounding mercenaries to look at him in confusion.

But Heimalo didn't have time to care about other people. He was now happily looking at the golden sword lying in his backpack.

He was originally a warrior, so he was very lucky to be able to draw a suitable weapon like a long sword.

Not to mention this [Sword of the Glory Knight]!

Heimalo was no stranger to this sword. It was the first high-level weapon to appear in Li Si's exchange store. At that time, it attracted many players in the Berdych Kingdom to complete tasks crazily.

Although the points they earned in the end were not even a fraction of the exchange price of the sword.

Although many gold-level weapons appeared in the exchange shop of the White Dove Chamber of Commerce later, this longsword was still voted as one of the top three gold-level weapons most wanted by players.

Although the attributes and skills of this long sword are not good, and it can only be ranked in the lower middle position among weapons of the same level, it is very cool!

It is simply the dream sword of many players!

Anyway, no matter which gold-level weapon it is, it cannot be used by players who are still at the bronze level.

Since they are all collectibles, you might as well choose the coolest one!

Hey, sorry, it's mine now!
Heimalo ran out of the Mercenary Guild carefully, found an empty alley, and took out the big, shining golden sword.

The golden glow and delicate patterns made Heimalo touch it for a long time with a silly smile.

After a satisfying experience, Heimalou took photos of it and put it away carefully.

After editing the harvest post and posting it to the player forum, Heimalo watched with delight as the replies and likes in the forum suddenly surged, as well as the chat prompts from game friends that kept popping up.
-
"Fuck, someone really got this sword?!!"

“Is this true or not? I don’t believe it unless I can try it myself! @黑玛喽”

"I heard your calculations all over the Kingdom of Feis."

"Hi~ So cool, I'm fine"

"People can't or at least shouldn't"

"No, this Li Si is just a secret businessman and career mentor, why doesn't he come to me???"
-
Soon, Heimalou's post became the most popular post in some player forums of "Shenqi". At the same time, more and more players in the game set out for Cuifeng City with great enthusiasm.

The next gold-level weapon must be mine!

Li Si closed the player forum with satisfaction and walked slowly towards the Wright Street District.

The long sword that Heimalo got was the result of his secret operation.

Lottery~
Everything was planned in advance, and whether the luck was good or not was all up to Li Si.

It just so happened that he needed to attract more players to come to Cuifeng City to join the White Dove Mercenary Group and become his new leeks.

So this most popular long sword was assigned to Heimalo.

Now it seems that the effect is quite good!

The affairs of the White Dove Mercenary Group had already been handed over to Blair, and seeing how positive he was, it seemed there was nothing to worry about, so Li Si contentedly became the hands-off boss.

Okay, now let me take a look.

Look who are these little lunatics who are preparing to cause trouble in Green Wind City. I will use the iron fist of love from the World Tree's followers to let you feel the warmth of Mother Gaia!

Greenwind City, Wright Street District
This area is located on the edge of Green Wind City, far away from the bustling market and towering castle, like a long-unhealed scar on the city's body.

The streets are narrow and winding. The black-grey stone pavement has become bumpy under the trampling of countless footsteps. Dirty sewage flows through the cracks in the stone slabs. A few skinny weeds stubbornly growing in them are the only green here.

The afterglow of the autumn sunset shines obliquely on the mottled walls, but cannot illuminate the deep, dark alleys, only making everything seem even more bleak.

Low houses are built close to each other, mostly made of low-quality wood and mud. After being eroded by wind and rain, the outer walls are mottled and show different dark colors. Many houses here have thick thatched roofs, which have collapsed in many places due to years of disrepair, revealing black holes. Rainwater drips along the cracks to form moldy traces. Walking here, you can feel the air is filled with the smell of dampness and mold.

The sky gradually darkened and there were few pedestrians on the road. Everyone walked towards their homes without delay.

The recent attacks and disappearances here have caused panic among nearby residents. There is not even a candle on the entire street, and everyone stays at home and prays for the protection of the gods.

In a secret basement somewhere,
The room was filled with a very strong smell of blood, even forming a faint blood mist floating in the air, and extremely painful wails could be faintly heard echoing in the house.

The walls of the room were engraved with strange dark grey lines, densely packed together to form a special magic circle that completely isolated the aura in the room.

A tall and thin figure in a dark grey robe sat cross-legged in the middle of the room. His crossed legs were submerged in the thick, smelly blood plasma, but he felt nothing.

The pool of blood soaking the broken arms and limbs seemed to be breathing slowly as if it had life. It kept flowing towards the gray-robed man and slowly seeping into his body.

"Whoo~"

After an unknown amount of time, the man in gray robe opened his eyes and stood up.

Looking at the blood pool that had already dropped a lot under his feet, he frowned slightly.

“We have to go arrest someone again.”

"I didn't expect that the ceremony of advancement to legend would require so many sacrifices."

"Alas, those guys in the church are just a bunch of idiots."

"My Lord Mask, I pray for your shadow's protection"
