It was glittering brilliance all over…
The glimmering gold coins, jewels, and precious stones, all fell from the space ring to the treasure vault of the City of Dawn.
Before this, the treasure vault of the City of Dawn was still empty even after William had pillaged a lot of gold coins from the Iron Nation. It was all spent on the expansion of the army and the construction of warships. The treasure vault almost had no funds.
But after the Dragon-slaying, the loot had filled up the city’s treasure vault once again.
Lautner and Odom gaped at the sight of a small mountain being formed by the gold coins poured out by William.
Odom licked his lips and said in a daze, “There are at least 130,000 gold coins. And that is excluding all the rare precious stones and metals.”
Lautner casually nodded and replied. “No matter what, the 180,000 gold coins in the treasure vault is enough to fund our development for quite some time.”
“That’s correct. We should now focus on improving our relations with the nearby Winged people, the Half-Elves, and the residents of Blue Moon Town. We should do business with more merchant teams and increase our trade volume.” William gave his orders, and Odom and Lautner nodded and walked out of the treasure vault.
The previous evening, William led his army back to the city.
As his followers sang the stories of the Dragon slaying, tens of thousands of commoners listened to it and became elated. As William had declared, a banquet took place. And besides the official banquet, the commoners also took out their food and fine wine to celebrate on the streets.
The banquet and the celebrations lasted until the next morning.
When William arrived at the treasure vault, whether it was the residents from the new or old district, whether it was the Humans, the Elves, the Half-Elves, or Dwarves, everyone looked at William in a different light.
Previously, they were either fearful or curious about William.
But now, as they looked at their Lord, they were filled with respect and reverence. Some enthusiastic watchers even became William’s fans, his faithful followers.
One such example was Alec…
Most of these commoners were not knowledgeable or cultured. Their main goals in life were to survive and continue their lineage.
William had been brainwashing these commoners every three to five days.
Hence, when they heard about his feat. of Dragon slaying.
Their hearts were fully won over by William!
William glanced at the character panel.
[Countdown to the version 1.0 of the open beta: 12 Days, 13 Hours, 22 Minutes]
“The Open Beta is almost here. The players’ equipment would be a problem.” William raised his brows and summoned Odom.
“My Lord, how can I help you?” Odom, the former Dwarven prince of the Lonely Mountain, had now become the butler of the City of Dawn. He was in charge of various logistics affairs.
It could be said that.
Odom’s job was beneath his status as a Dwarven prince…
But the city was lacking in manpower. William nodded at Odom and said, “Inform all the blacksmiths to forge 30,000 sets of normal armor and weapons and 20,000 sets of excellent armor and weapons.”
Odom was surprised. “Is this a huge business opportunity?”
“Oh, right! Do you know anything about the chosen ones who had vanished?”
“I cannot find them. They vanished without a trace in the city. If I hadn’t designed and constructed the city myself, I would have thought there was a mysterious cave that I’m not aware of.” Odom could not figure out why William called them the chosen ones.
William gestured with his hand to beckon Odom to come closer.
Then he leaned into Odom’s ear and whispered something mysteriously…
Odom’s facial expressions changed from disbelief, shock to incredulous…
He took some time to collect himself.
Then Odom swallowed hard and said in a low voice, “My Lord, is that true?”
“I had a dream half a year ago, and in there, I encountered the undying chosen ones.
“Believe it or not, after tens of days, the chosen ones will descend upon us. If it happens, then I’m right.
“I believe Heaven’s will be transmitted to everyone’s mind!”
“Who are these chosen ones? Where did they come from?” Odom was perplexed.
Even though the chosen ones were comprised of various races, they were very different from Odom…
William smiled mysteriously and patted Odom’s shoulder. “I don’t know the answer to these questions, but you have to remember that the chosen ones are not important in the short term. You can only depend on yourself for your destiny. The chosen ones don’t die, and we have to make good use of this fact.”
“I understand, my Lord.” Odom left the conference hall solemnly. As he stepped towards the blacksmith workshops, a troubled expression appeared on his face.
Mixed feelings were embroiled in his heart. If what he said were true, wasn’t the Lord a… a messenger from Heaven?
How could he know so many secrets, otherwise?
In a moment.
Odom quickly covered his mouth. He had to be discreet. His fantasy about William had led to an increase in his affinity for William, it exploded to 980+. It was only 20 points less than the maximum amount…
“Oooo, Oooo~” a giant wild bear bellowed in the dense forest. Birds immediately took flight while wild beasts ran for cover.
William rode on the bear and headed towards the south. A few commoners who were pulling their carts saw William and immediately gave way. They looked on with reverence at the Dragon Slayer, as William sped off.
A sixteen-year-old Human youth looked at the charismatic Lord and shook his head. “I feel like kissing the shoes of the Lord…”
A middle-aged man looked away from William and kicked the youth’s buttocks. He scoffed. “Bah, scumbag, Do you think you are even worthy of kissing the shoes of the Dragon Slayer? Go and fish before sunning the net at home.”
The youth laughed as he stood up. “Father, I’m almost sixteen. I want to be a professional and serve the Lord. I can also fish out at the sea. I don’t wish to stay at Rainbow Lake to catch prawns and toads…”
The middle-aged father frowned and looked at his son, who was firmly staring back at him. The father sighed. “Let’s see if you’re talented. We have earned quite a lot of money with the help of the Lord. If you’ve the talent for it, I’ll for sure help support you in upgrading to the high level with the secret manual.”
“Thank you, father. I’ll become a true warrior.”
This was the ambition of many youths in the City of Dawn. They wanted to become professionals. Even if they could not be enlisted into the army, they would have a high chance of becoming a mercenary.
Even if not that, the youth could still fish in the sea. The fishermen required the help of professionals. William had always advocated the benefits of the sea, so many of them were tempted.
The one-year-old giant wild bear was a level 31 novice magical beast. When the bear stood up, it measured up to almost 2.5 meters in height. It possessed great running speed and had explosive strength. However, it had one shortcoming. It was a little lazy…
Fortunately, the three bears were not subservient to others, but they would always complete William’s orders.
It was not due to a pet’s affinity to William.
It was because William now had the title of a Dragon Slayer. The three bears did not dare to go against him.
William rode on the bear for a while.
It took two hours, and William arrived at the most southern tip of the continent. He observed the boundless and magical ocean.
Glancing at the wonderful sight,
William headed towards the huge shipyard.
It was glittering brilliance all over…
