Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 91: In the Name of Wind Walker, Planning the Empress's Envoy! (Subscribe!)

The dog-headed priest's eyes were filled with shock, as if he was in an absurd dream, but he was also shocked by what was actually happening before his eyes.

While he was distracted, a sharp dagger burst out from the shadows and hit his chest.

After summoning three third-level phantoms and one fifth-level phantom, the dog-headed priest obviously no longer had the strength to fight.

Cohen easily dealt with it.

After Yue Duan killed the fifth-level priest, a huge amount of experience points poured in.

A voice sounded in my ears:

"Experience value detected to have reached the advanced level, whether to advance or not."

Cohen glanced at the battle situation not far away.

After losing the sacrifice, the ogre chief's fighting spirit obviously dropped a lot.

The ogre soldiers attacking the defense line were not as ferocious as before, and the balance of victory had tilted towards the human side.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Cohen chose to advance directly.

Powerful and mysterious energy surged from between heaven and earth, and a burning sensation surged from the bottom of my heart, quickly spreading throughout my body.

Cohen's body was bathed in brilliant golden light, and amazing changes were taking place in his body.

The muscles became tighter, the bones became harder, and a bright silver light appeared faintly under the body.

There were continuous reminder sounds in my ears:

"Into the Shadows", "Snatch the Blade", "Turning Point", and "Counterattack Storm" have been upgraded.

"Escape into Shadow: Level 2, consumes % of mana per minute."

"Bare-handed Blade Seizure: Level 3. Launch a Willpower roll against ten enemies simultaneously. If successful, you will seize their weapons."

"Transform into a Ten Thousand Weapons: Level 3, provides ten friendly units (including the host) with a magic weapon. The weapon's level is determined by the host's class level."

"Counterattack Storm: Level 70. Swing your weapon and enter an absolute defense stance that lasts seven seconds. Activate this skill at any time to stun enemy units for five seconds. (Absolute Defense: Immune to attacks of the same level and below, reduces high-level attacks by %)"

"Advance to level three and gain three free attribute bonuses."

Cohen once again added attribute points to willpower.

"Advanced to the third stage, the silver body refinement level is opened by 20%."

After a while of upgrading, golden light condensed in Cohen's pupils, and a familiar data panel appeared:

[Name: Corleone]

[Race: Human]

【Age: 16】

[Attributes: Strength (13), Agility (12), Willpower (18), Intelligence (15), Charm (MAX)]

[Talent: Escape into Shadow (Level 3), Weapon Mastery, Son of the Mist]

[Extraordinary Occupation: Secret Occupation, Dragon Seal Weapon Master. Silver Body: 20%]

[Professional Level: Tier 0 (High Bronze), Experience Points: 5000/]

[Professional Skills: Barehanded Blade Seizure (Level 3), Transform into a Soldier (Level 3), Counterattack Storm (Level 3)]

[Passive Skill: Weapon Mastery]

[Runes: Adding Fuel to the Fire, Strength, Dexterity, Universal Scope]

[Equipment: Ghost Crab, Power Drink, Guardian Dagger]

Cohen looked at his panel.

The "Charm" attribute column has reached the maximum level of the Extraordinary Sequence.

This is because Cohen's basic charm is far higher than that of ordinary people, and he has reached the peak of his charm after just a few upgrades.

There's nothing you can do about it, being handsome is innate.

When the extraordinary person breaks through the gold level and reaches the seventh level.

The five major attributes will be combined into an attribute called "Legend Degree".

The higher the five attributes, the higher the basic "legend degree", and the easier it is to break through the legend.

One of the requirements for breaking through to legend is that the "Legend Degree" must be over 100.

As the last ray of light on his body disappeared, Cohen slowly opened his eyes, and the gleam in his pupils seemed to be able to penetrate endless time and space.

Even Mog, the sixth-level [Bounty Hunter] who had driven back the Gnoll Tribe and came to express his gratitude, couldn't help but feel a palpitation in his heart.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would have been unbelievable.

Who would have thought that a second-level transcendent could actually kill a fifth-level ogre priest alive.

Is this the legendary favored child of heaven?

Cohen retracted his momentum, and Mog strode forward, expressing his sincere gratitude:
“Thank you for your help, Captain!
On behalf of all members of the Canglan Brave Group, I would like to express my deep gratitude for your generous assistance!"

Cohen waved his hand, indicating that it was just a piece of cake.

Arnold has already stood with the priestess named Margaret.

The two introduced each other's members.

Cohen also greeted them and asked Asuna to bring the two sorcerer ladies over.

The three stunningly charming girls added a lot of charm and color to the bloody battlefield after the war.

After seeing their extraordinary strength, Mog couldn't help but feel deep awe for Cohen's identity.

Two young warlocks and a young fourth-level transcendent, both so beautiful and cute, he had already determined in his heart that Cohen must be the young master of a big family.

This is to experience life with your own harem.

As for Arnold, Mog believed that he was the bodyguard hired by the noble young master.

Cohen didn't care about that. He asked the most concerned question:
"Captain Mog, we're close to the 'Starfall Valley', and there doesn't seem to be anything worth exploring.

Why are you here?"

Mog's eyes showed surprise and he asked:
"Why? Aren't you here for the 'Star Valley'?"

Cohen's heart sank slightly. Could something unusual have happened in the "Star Valley"?

That shouldn't be the case. In the previous life, before Arnold discovered the "Concentric Curse", it had always been a place that no one cared about.

He waited patiently for the other party's explanation.

Mog said:

“You must have come here recently, so you may not know a piece of news.

Just a few days ago, the eldest son of Duke Gavin issued a bounty for recruiting adventure groups throughout the northwest region. The bounty was for the strategy to capture the "Starfall Valley".

Regardless of whether you are selected in the end, there will be a generous reward.

Once selected, you will have the opportunity to join the Duke's family's exclusive adventure team and become a member of the Duke's family.

Now, all the adventure groups in the entire northwest region have heard the news and are rushing to the "Star Valley".

We received the news a little late, and we were unlucky. We didn't expect that the road we had to take would be occupied by a group of foreign kobolds."

Cohen raised his eyebrows slightly. It wasn't necessarily a matter of luck.

Maybe someone is interfering. With such an attractive reward, the fewer competitors the better.

But this is not the point. The point is why the eldest son of Duke Gavin suddenly went crazy. Why did he want to attack the "Star Valley" for no reason?
This never happened in my previous life.

The Duke of Gavan's family is one of the most powerful noble families in the Kingdom of Ceylon.

The "Gavin Incident" that caused a sensation in the previous life was referring to them.

Duke Gavin, who has always been loyal and served three dynasties, was unexpectedly exposed by the third prince Saxon for the shocking secret that he was colluding with the kingdom of Fengxi, a country that had been their enemy for generations.

The scandal had engulfed almost the entire continent, and Cohen had heard of it.

The eldest son of Duke Gavin, his full name should be Ifir O Gavin.

After the incident, he led the remaining family members to flee to the Kingdom of Fengxi.

Later, when the [Attack of Nations] expansion was loaded, he became the vanguard general of the Wind Breath Kingdom's attack on the Ceylon Kingdom.

Putting aside this complicated love-hate relationship, Cohen now wants to find out the other party's true intentions.

Was it that the trace of the "Concentric Curse Seal" was discovered by someone, or was there some other reason?

Cohen looked at Captain Mog again and asked, "Do you know why Master Gavin wants to capture the Star Valley?
There's nothing of value there that I know of."

Captain Mog shook his head, and the female priest Margaret, who was not far away, spoke:

“I did hear some news from the Temple of Life.

It seems to be for a special envoy from the Central Empire."

"A special envoy from the Central Empire?"

Cohen felt even more confused and asked:
"Does Miss know the name of this envoy?"

Margaret recalled:
“It seems like the one called Wind Walker is rather strange.

She once came to the Temple of Life to get something, and I heard about it from the bishops."

Wind Walker!
A flash of lightning flashed through Cohen's mind.

This is a surname that only the royal family of the Winged Elves can use.

Wind Walker... Wind Walker...

Memories of past lives came flooding back, but no, there was too little information to make a judgment.

Because the Empress of the Central Empire, Her Majesty Shanice Klein, has a deep connection with the Wind Walker family.

Many of her subordinates are from the royal family of the Winged Elves.

Cohen was not sure who the visitor was for a moment.

But since he was of royal blood, Cohen suddenly had other plans.

"Starfall Valley" was once a research institute of the Arcane Empire.

This research institute is where the Arcane Empire Seminary studies the magic and culture of the ancient elves.

Among them, the "Concentric Mantra Seal" is one of their research results.

Cohen thought of the introduction to this adventure copy he had seen on the forum in his previous life.

It says that the most valuable thing about this research institute is not the "Concentric Mantra Seal".

The "Concentric Seal" is just a simple seal created by scholars of the Arcane Empire based on the magic of the ancient elves.

The real treasure of this research institute is the civilization heritage from the ancient elves.

The reason why the Arcane Empire spent a huge amount of money to build this research institute was that

An ancient elven civilization site was excavated, and a research institute was established on the basis of this site.

The ruins cannot be opened by anyone except those of the ancient elves' bloodline.

The ancient elves have disappeared, and their bloodlines that have been passed down to the present day are the bloodlines of the elven royal families.

However, "Starfall Valley" is a novice copy, and it is impossible for normal novices to come into contact with the bloodline of the elven royal family.

Players regarded this as a malicious plot by the dog planner. No one really had the chance to find a member of the elven royal family and go in to look for treasure.

But the situation Cohen is facing now is completely different. There actually is a winged elf royal family here!
The destination is still "Star Valley"!
Cohen frowned slightly, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

The heritage of the ancient elves' civilization, who knows what strange and wonderful things are in it!
Do it. The God of Destiny has sent an elven royal family to you. If you don’t do something about it, you might really regret it for the rest of your life!

The two adventure groups reached an agreement to go to the "Star Valley" together.

……

"Stars Falling in the Valley" is named this way because of the strange rules in the valley.

Every night, when I looked up at the sky, it seemed as if countless stars were falling into the valley.

Rumor has it that a saint once fell here, and the collapse of the Star Temple caused the rules here to become distorted.

The valley is filled with gray fog all year round, which is the famous nightmare fog.

Through the nightmare fog, you can vaguely see various strange-shaped plants growing wildly.

In the open space outside the valley, sunlight penetrated the clouds, illuminating colorful tents and fluttering flags.

In the northwest region of the Kingdom of Ceylon, all the famous adventure groups gathered here.

A huge camp was built outside the valley.

From time to time, servants wearing the Gavin family emblem on their cuffs would shuttle back and forth in the noisy camp.

Leading the representatives of the recruited adventure group to the most luxurious tent in the distance to participate in the selection test from the empress's special envoy.

Outside the big tent, a sturdy fence stood tall, carved with patterns exclusive to the Gavin family.

Even though it is just a temporary camp, the fence is made of precious magical wood, which is not only indestructible but also can withstand various magical attacks.

The tent looks luxurious and noble, decorated with countless treasures.

At the entrance of the tent, two rows of armored guards stood upright, and servants were busy in every corner inside.

The entire camp exudes an atmosphere of nobility and majesty, and every detail reveals endless wealth and great power.

The special envoy of the emperor of the most powerful empire and the son of the duke of the most powerful kingdom in the northwest.

Any representative of an adventure group who enters the big tent, no matter how famous he has been in the northwest continent.

Everyone should put away their pride and bow their heads humbly.

They didn't even dare to look up at the beautiful winged elf sitting on the main throne.

Even though this winged elf was feasting on the special delicacies of the Kingdom of Ceylon without any image.

At this moment, the Duke's heir, Ifilo Gavin, was patiently introducing the representatives of the new adventure group who had just entered the tent to Windsardler.

"...The 'Heart of Azure Flame' adventure group, led by an eighth-rank [Psychic Warrior], is the most powerful of the adventure groups participating in this recruitment.

Among their team members is a fifth-level thief who is proficient in traps and has extensive experience in exploration."

Windsordale suddenly showed some interest, stopped swallowing his food, and asked:

"Where's that thief? Bring him here for me to see."

Ifilo gave an order to the guards, and soon, a short thief came up to the two of them somewhat awkwardly.

Windsardler looked at it for a moment, then lightly tapped his finger. Several brilliant rays of light instantly rose from the ground beneath the thief's feet.

Then it transformed into a transparent magic cage, with five mysterious runes flashing on the cage wall, constantly changing color and shape.

The thief's face turned pale at first, and then he realized that the other party was testing him.

He calmed down, his eyes became focused, and he began to work on dismantling the magic trap.

As time passed, beads of nervous sweat kept oozing from the thief's forehead, and his face gradually turned pale.

The magic traps that Windsardler casually set up were not only extremely complicated, but also released a strange magical fluctuation.

Constantly interfering with the trapped person's thinking and strength.

Finally, the thief spent all his energy but still failed to unlock the first rune.

The whole person fainted from exhaustion.

Windsordler waved his hand indifferently:

“The ancient elf ruins love to set up all kinds of bizarre magic traps.

If the adventuring group that wants to join us can't even decipher the most basic elves' traps, they'll just be a burden."

Ifilo's face turned ugly. It had been a whole morning, and there was not even a qualified adventure group.

Even the "Heart of Azure Flame" that he had hoped for the most and would use as the finale failed to succeed.

This made the host feel ashamed.

Just as he was considering whether to expand the scope of recruitment, there was suddenly a loud noise outside, followed by the shouting and footsteps of the guards.

Ifilo was already in a bad mood, and when he heard the chaos outside, he couldn't help but get even more angry and asked:

"What's going on? Who is causing trouble outside?"

Soon, a guard brought the situation outside:
"Master, it seems that an adventuring group has had a conflict with our people."

Ifilo immediately became furious:

"Where did this adventure group come from? They are so blind. Don't they know whose territory this is?"

The other party replied intermittently:

"It seems... it's called... Infinity Blade? I've never heard of it before!"
