Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 926 Auckland's Conditions and Deal Reached (3K views, please vote!)

The appearance of the floating city caused a great uproar in the City of Wisdom, and the Immortal Wasteland once again came into the view of most of the intelligent life living on the continent of Kovale.

On this day, the most discussed topic among the residents of the City of Wisdom was the floating city and the Immortal Wasteland that controlled it.

In this process, the battles fought in the Immortal Wasteland that had been forgotten were rediscovered from the dust of history and are now widely circulated again.

Gao Yang withdrew his gaze from the network panel and looked at the mage Auckland sitting opposite him.

Since arriving in the City of Wisdom yesterday, less than a day has passed, yet his legendary reputation has increased by three points, demonstrating the shock that the appearance of the floating city has brought to the inhabitants of the Kovale continent.

"Your Highness, this Dark Flower Tea has quite a unique flavor," Auckland remarked after finishing his cup of the pale ink-colored tea.

Gao Yang raised an eyebrow and said, "Your Excellency Archmage, my stance last time should have been very clear."

Despite being rejected by Gao Yang again, Auckland's expression remained unchanged. He continued, "Your Excellency Yu Wang must have misunderstood. I have sensed your will. I have come to visit you this time to discuss another business matter."

Gao Yang looked at Auckland but didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Auckland immediately continued, "I mentioned that I have a channel that can increase Your Majesty's legendary attribute by five points. I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers this?"

Gao Yang nodded slightly, naturally keeping in mind the important news of five legendary attributes.

Seeing this, Auckland smiled and said, "I would like to make a deal with Your Majesty the Feather King using these five legendary attributes. Of course, the other party in the deal is not the Floating City."

Gao Yang took a deep breath. Although he knew in his heart that the deal Auckland had mentioned would not be simple, he could not ignore the five legendary attributes. He slowly opened his mouth and said, "If you have anything to say, please speak freely."

"Your Excellency the Feather King must have destroyed a plane, right?" Auckland looked at Gao Yang with a deep gaze.

Gao Yang's expression remained unchanged; instead, he nodded with unusual composure.

To this day, he still feels no remorse or regret for the planes he destroyed, whether it was Duke Mephistos's demiplane or the later terminally ill Hess plane.

The former is the enemy, while the latter is to help the plane break free. For Gao Yang, his actions are as he sees fit.

"Does Your Excellency the Feather King possess a dimensional core? If so, would you be willing to part with it?" Auckland looked intently at Gao Yang and asked.
"How about exchanging a 20G energy dimensional core for a bit of legendary attribute?"

Gao Yang looked at Auckland Duo across from him, his expression unchanged. Even Auckland Duo, who already knew about Gao Yang, couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He was afraid that Gao Yang would refuse, and he didn't want to see Gao Yang refuse.

After exchanging glances with Auckland for a few seconds, Gao Yang looked away and said softly, "Plane cores are too rare and precious. Although I was lucky enough to obtain a few plane cores in the past, who would keep such a thing in their hands without using it?"

Furthermore, it's just a legendary attribute. With my strength and the floating city, I have plenty of time to acquire legendary attributes. Five points of legendary attributes are not indispensable for me now.

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Your Excellency the Archmage; I still cannot complete this transaction."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yang was about to get up when he heard Auckland's voice in his ear: "Your Majesty, what if I could give you a method to acquire a special skill that is comparable to that of a god?"

Gao Yang paused, then calmly sat back down, asking with a hint of curiosity, "What is a specialty comparable to that of a god?"

After taking a deep breath, Auckland opened his eyes and looked at Gao Yang, saying, "According to what you players on the cross-network say, that should be called -- a unique specialty."

Gao Yang lowered his eyelids. After realizing that the so-called god-level specialty was the only specialty, his doubts were resolved, and his posture relaxed again. He said:

"I've heard of its unique expertise, but how can it be compared to that of a god?"

Auckland smiled and said, "The strength of a unique specialty lies in its uniqueness. Even gods are not unique; the same divine domain may be jointly controlled by several gods."

But a single specialty can only ever exist and be possessed by one person.

The unique skill has an extremely high rank. As far as I know, most skills do not have a higher priority than the unique skill. Moreover, the unique skill is also capable of growth, becoming stronger as the owner's strength increases.

In some aspects, it is even comparable to a god.

After finishing speaking, Auckland looked at Gao Yang with a start, waiting for his reaction.

To his disappointment, Gao Yang's expression remained unchanged after hearing his explanation, as if what he said held no appeal whatsoever for Gao Yang.

Auckland remained silent for a moment, and seeing that Gao Yang was still unmoved, he finally realized that his so-called bargaining chips did not apply to the person in front of him.

Helpless, he gave a wry smile and was about to say goodbye.

"Your Excellency Archmage, tell me about the only specialty you know."

Gao Yang's voice rang in Auckland's ears like heavenly music. In that instant, Auckland confirmed that Gao Yang definitely had a plane core in his hands!

"That was a world I once traveled to. The name of that world is now lost to history, but the people who lived there called it the 'World of Oblivion.' In that world, I met a very wise human elder named Peng Er, whose lifespan far exceeded that of the people of the World of Oblivion."

It was through the Prophet Peng'er that I learned of the existence of divine specialties. The Prophet Peng'er once guided me to the bottom of the boundless ocean at the easternmost part of the continent of the Forgotten Realm, where an immortal giant tortoise carrying a divine peak lives. This immortal giant tortoise is ten thousand meters tall, with four legs like pillars of heaven, and every step it takes causes a violent tremor of magical power between heaven and earth.

The prophet Penir said that if one could make this immortal giant tortoise stop its advance, one could climb the sacred mountain it carried on its back and pluck the divine fruit, nurtured for countless ages, from its summit.

Gao Yang looked at Auckland with a slightly strange expression. Could such an outrageous thing really be believed?
As if he understood the meaning in Gao Yang's eyes, Auckland quickly explained: "I know Your Highness Yu may not believe it, but I have seen that immortal giant tortoise with my own eyes and tried to make it stop."

But when my most prized magic struck its body and vanished silently, I understood that I could not stop the advance of this immortal giant tortoise.

"That world has no legendary powerhouses? No gods?" Gao Yang withdrew his gaze, calmly picked up the teacup on the table, and asked.

"On the contrary, the Forgotten Realm is home to many legendary powerhouses, and even has a large amount of religious activity related to gods, meaning that gods exist in that world." Auckland shook his head, then continued:

"But the gods will not go to the 'Sea of ​​Oblivion' in the far east of the continent. It is said that if the gods arrive at the Sea of ​​Oblivion, their divine power will gradually disappear, and even their divine status may be swallowed up by the Sea of ​​Oblivion."

Therefore, only mortals who have not yet become gods can reach the Sea of ​​Oblivion.

Before I left the Realm of Oblivion, no mortal being had ever made that immortal giant tortoise stop. It continued to stroll on the Sea of ​​Oblivion without ever pausing for a moment.

In the Realm of Oblivion, there is a long-standing legend: Any mortal that can stop the indestructible giant tortoise in its tracks gains the qualification to ascend to godhood.

"So, this is all the information you know about your only specialty?"

Gao Yang put down his teacup, a hint of disappointment in his voice:

"If it's just this kind of vague information, unfortunately it can't be used as a bargaining chip."

“I know Your Majesty the Feather King may not believe it, but I possess a pass to the Realm of Oblivion. Only with a pass can one reach the Realm of Oblivion.”

As Auckland spoke, he flicked his finger, and a rectangular token that looked like both gold and wood appeared in his hand.

Auckland pushed the token in his hand in front of Gao Yang, his firm eyes containing a barely perceptible pleading look.

Gao Yang sensed this barely perceptible plea and sighed softly in his heart.

With Auckland's strength, if he had a bit more luck, he could have found the dimensional core long ago. Of course, if he could give up everything and let go of his convictions, he could still obtain the dimensional core, but he did not do so.

With this thought in mind, Gao Yang picked up the token on the table and said, "Your Excellency Archmage, why are you so fixated on the Floating City?"

"Why?"

Auckland countered, "As a mage, how can you not even own a single floating city? Isn't that ridiculous?"

Gao Yang was taken aback, but then he understood what he was thinking.

'Obsession~'

He sighed inwardly and then said, "I don't have many dimensional cores. 20G is far too much to exchange for one legendary attribute. Let's exchange 10G of energy for one legendary attribute instead."

"If Your Excellency the Archmage is willing, then the deal is done."

“10G, huh?” Auckland muttered to himself, then nodded emphatically: “10G it is, thank you, Your Majesty.”

As he spoke, Auckland rubbed the ring on his right index finger, and a blank parchment appeared in his hand, which he quickly began to write on.

Soon, a contract was formed in his hands.

Auckland pushed the parchment of the contract in front of Gao Yang and said softly, "Your Excellency Yu Wang, this is the contract. Please take a look."

Gao Yang took the contract, glanced at it, and after confirming that there were no problems, he signed his name on the contract.

He signed "Yu Wang" instead of his real name.

This has no impact, because in the world of Eberon, he is the Feather King, a concept that has been recognized by many intelligent beings.

Auckland took the contract and solemnly signed his name on the other side.

A faint power of the contract emanated, and the originally ordinary contract parchment suddenly burst forth with a sacred aura. This signified that the gaze of the God of Justice and Contracts had been fixed upon this place, and also meant that this contract had been granted justice.

Auckland rolled up the contract and placed it in front of Gao Yang, tentatively asking, "Your Excellency Feather King, after the internal meeting, I will take you to a channel I know to obtain legendary attributes. What do you think?"

"can."

Gao Yang nodded.
