Wizard Immortal

Chapter 458 Potions

"Damn it! Those damn guilds!"

As he entered the city gate, seeing the many new faces in the area, Lera's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed: "They all moved so quickly!"

"That's normal." Slim, standing in line, took a short break to observe the extra groups of people outside. "Besides, wasn't this situation something we expected?"

He looked outside at the soldiers training hard, strong and energetic, each one more enthusiastic than the last, and sighed softly.

Three months have passed since that initial post broke the news, and in that time, the changes around here have been almost visible to the naked eye.

Sisley City was originally located in Elka Province, a well-known remote and backward corner of the Akkad Empire. It was surrounded by rugged mountain roads, scattered with wild people, and rarely had caravans. It could be described as a poor and desolate place, with nothing worth mentioning except for a few local specialties.

However, this situation changed in a short period of time after Prince Hisoka arrived in Sisley City and became its lord.

In May, everything went extremely smoothly, from conscription and tax collection to bandit suppression and trade development, which was almost astonishing.

To outsiders, this might be the result of Prince Hisoka's outstanding abilities and effective governance, but to players like Lera, the truth is clear.

This is hardly a case of effective governance; it's clearly the result of those players' actions.

After Prince Hisoka's identity was confirmed, the players who were eager to curry favor with him went crazy and flocked to Sisley City. As a result, Sisley City, which was originally a remote little town, was now bustling with activity thanks to the players, and its population was increasing at a visible rate every day.

Without a doubt, they're all rushing to curry favor with powerful figures.

Prince Hisoka is the only character in the current stage of Genesis who has been confirmed as an Ancient King. Even if you only have a slight connection to such a character, or if he casually reveals something, it can drive countless people crazy.

"I must say, these people are incredibly fast!"

Encountering a maid in the distance, and gazing at her alluring figure beneath her black dress, Lera's expression became complicated: "Just how many players have infiltrated this place?"

"I don't know, but even if it's not a thousand, it's probably seven or eight hundred." Slim, standing to the side, gave a wry smile and gave a number: "Among the recruited warriors alone, at least five or six hundred are players. As for the maids, servants, cooks, and even the lowest slaves, the number is countless."

"This is truly unfortunate news." Lera shook his head, then spread his hands and sighed, "Now I understand why those guilds were able to grow so quickly."

"With such a speed of response and level of dedication, our founding association is no match for them and can only fall far behind."

"There's some good news too," Slim said after a moment of silence. "At least, our association was one of the first player organizations to approach Prince Hisoka, and besides, aren't you highly regarded by Prince Hisoka, President?"

"Yes, that's the only way." Lera nodded, about to say something, when she saw the surroundings quickly quiet down.

The surrounding ranks quickly quieted down. In the distance, the soldiers who were already focused on their training became even more energetic, each one training as if risking their lives, afraid that others wouldn't notice their efforts.

The maids in the distance were the same; although they were dressed in ordinary maid outfits, their demeanor, etiquette, and temperament made them seem like young ladies from a noble family, rather than ordinary maids.

Upon noticing this, Lera's lips twitched, and he cursed inwardly. Without hesitation, he picked up his weapon and began practicing. Despite it being his rest time, he trained relentlessly, his bronze body covered in sweat. Anyone who saw him would think he was a serious, hardworking, and resolute warrior who was not afraid of difficulties.

"Are all the people in Sisley City this... hardworking?"

In the distance, Lucci, who had come to inspect the team with Adir, was dumbfounded by the scene before him.

If it weren't for the fact that this was a completely spontaneous act, he would almost have thought it was a show put on for them.

"Good training."

He casually circled the area, seemingly nodding in satisfaction, then looked at the people in front of him and pointed to one of them as if by accident: "Your name?"

Whether by accident or not, this time he pointed to Lera, who was standing in the corner and seemed to be training hard.

"M-Sir, I am Lera."

When Lerla was suddenly pointed at by Adir, his heart skipped a beat, but then he put on a humble smile and looked at Adir in front of him.

"I've met you many times, and I must say, you've left a deep impression on me."

Adir smiled and said, "I have prepared a reward for someone as hardworking as you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pale blue crystal potion appeared in his hand, emitting a faint blue light that illuminated the surroundings and instantly attracted the attention of all the players.

"This is?"

At that moment, almost every player around felt a stirring in their heart and subconsciously looked at the crystal potion, after which data about the potion surfaced in their minds.

Item: Azure Potion

Effects: Slightly improves physical attributes; can heal injuries and illnesses...

Information: A potion casually concocted by Prince Hisoka, lord of Sisley City, can instantly make an ordinary person rival a fighter who has trained for many years...

···············

Wow!

A collective gasp filled the air, followed by a flurry of intense stares as eyes gleamed like wolves eyeing meat, their burning desire almost suffocating.

In the distance, some players felt a surge of desire as they looked at Lera standing in front of Adir, wishing they could kick him out and take his place.

There are reasons why it's so popular.

Although Genesis is touted as a game, everything in it is designed to resemble the real world. Apart from being somewhat outdated, it is almost identical to the real world.

This potion is practically the first extraordinary item to appear in the entire game world, so it is naturally very valuable.

Therefore, it's not hard to understand why these players are excited.

Standing before him, looking at the bottle of potion that Adir had taken out, Lera was somewhat dazed, as if she hadn't expected such a big surprise, and suddenly felt like she was living in a dream.

However, despite his excitement, he quickly regained his senses when he felt the gazes of the players behind him. Then, amidst the envious and jealous looks from the players behind him, he reached out and touched the bottle of azure potion.

"Claim the Azure Potion? Claiming it requires 300 Genesis Coins..."

A mechanical voice echoed in his mind, making Lera shudder: "I have to pay again?"

He was somewhat surprised by the prompt in his mind.

Genesis Coins are the in-game currency used exclusively by players in the Genesis World. They can be obtained by accepting certain quests or by killing creatures in the Genesis World.

However, compared to other games, Genesis Coins in Genesis have very limited uses; currently, they are only used to purchase resurrection opportunities.

One hundred Genesis Coins allow you to revive once, and three hundred Genesis Coins allow you to revive three times.

Thinking of this, Lera checked her balance, which showed she had five or six hundred Genesis Coins left.

Upon seeing this, he no longer hesitated and clicked "confirm".

In a corner unseen by ordinary people, as Lera confirmed it, a pale purple power emerged from him and, through some kind of connection, quickly surged into Adir's body.

Sensing this, Adir's smile deepened, and he handed the potion in his hand directly to the other party without the slightest hesitation.
