On the fourth day, William watched the Dawn Vessel enter the storm rings. After three to five days, the next batch of the legion would arrive.
There was no doubt about the Chief officer Jack’s loyalty.
Prince William was a good Lord who had the utmost trust in his subordinates…
But he felt uneasy when he saw the drunk Jack. Jack was an alcoholic and could drink at least two kilograms of wine on a daily basis.
If Jack had not been the only talented captain in the City of Dawn, William would not have appointed him as the legion commander of the [Breaking Wave legion] and the chief officer of Dawn Vessel…
“My lord, what shall I do? Shall I hunt for magical beasts?” Lautner looked at William in excitement.
Lautner was finally enlightened.
He was old and useless…
He was once a genius, but he was not valued by the Lord.
It had to be emphasized.
He had to fawn on William to gain favor.
Lautner pondered for a long time. He had been in the Dark Night City for quite a while, but there his capability only improved at a snail’s pace. And since he joined the City of Dawn, even though he encountered many dangerous situations, his power had improved by leaps and bounds. One year in the City of Dawn was better than training for a few years in Dark Night City.
Prince William trained for less than 18 months and attained the Advanced. Lautner felt ashamed of himself…
The flesh of the magical beasts and the precious herbs and minerals acquired by William proved very useful. Lautner finally received a chance to attain the Advanced.
After William killed the cloud-gulping python BOSS, he had obtained some precious herbs that were not very useful to the players.
When the players consumed a lot of herbs, their attributes and experience points would increase only by a little.
But to the NPCs, these herbs were something very precious…
Powerful magic engulfed the undeveloped Stormy Island filled with magical fruits and herbs. The magical beasts were also intelligent. They consumed herbs that were rich in magic. Regardless, there were plenty of magical herbs and plants on the island.
After the players expanded their horizons, they had many ideas to make money.
They would venture into dangerous places to obtain magical herbs. Then they would sell the herbs to honest NPCs.
In this world that valued power, if the players had precious herbs and sold them at high prices, the NPCs did not mind becoming a bandit or killer in order to raise the money.
“What? Are you creating trouble?” William glanced at Lautner. “Do you have to be so excited over some magical herbs?”
William was not tempted by the magical herbs!
Lautner rubbed his hands and smiled as he said, “Why am I creating trouble? The magical herbs and plants were prevalent in the gathering places of the magical beasts. Since my lord has upgraded to the Advanced, why don’t we hunt the magical beasts?
The carcasses of the magical beasts are also worth a fortune. I believe that it’s not a huge problem for my lord to kill the Advanced magical beasts.”
“You’ve inflated your ego too much. I’m the one who attained the Advanced, not you…” William was not pleased. He did not need those magical herbs. He could depend on the magical crystals to upgrade.
He had to ensure that the magical beasts coexisted in equilibrium. He was not afraid of the beasts…
With regards to the magical herbs and plants.
William pondered. He had forgotten the value of the magical herbs. He could ignore the herbs, but his subordinates could not. They required them. It was wrong of William to focus only on the magical beasts.
In order for the NPCs to level up, the quality of the magical herb was important.
William knew of a good place where there were a lot of magical herbs and plants. But it was too dangerous.
William nodded at Lautner.
“Burned Cinder, follow me. Let’s take a look around and see if there is any good stuff on the island.”
“Yes, my lord.” Burned Cinder sat up as he grasped his long Dragon-slayer blade tightly. He looked very obedient.
William glanced at Burned Cinder, who was also at level 69 and took ordinary magical herbs. After arriving at the island, Burned Cinder had been either fighting or training. He was not a trouble-maker like Lautner…
It had to be emphasized.
Legendary NPCs who lost their memories were extremely loyal, and they trained as hard as the time when they had their memories.
Burned Cinder was clear about his background. He was an insignificant person who had a tough life. So he knew how to cherish his time.
But for the pure-blood Elf Lautner… time was not important…
“I have to change the Elves’ perception of time. Besides the Elves in the legions, all of the Elves in my territory are happy-go-lucky. This can’t go on.”
“But their nature can’t be changed overnight. Perhaps the Darkness invasion will make them train hard.
“Ai, why am I the city lord? Since I’ve attained the Advanced, why don’t I provide my subordinates with benefits? If they can attain the Advanced, I can relax more. In any case, the Thunder God ring is not going to run away.”
William looked at the excited Lautner and sighed. He brought both of them out of the camp and ignored the players following behind.
“What’s that gaze? Have I fallen out of favor?” Lautner discovered this fact in shock…
For seemingly no reason, he had a depressing thought. Since ‘Augustine’ was revived, William had been showing him a lot more attention.
For example, Lautner, Odom, and other legion commanders were not being valued by William.
Lautner observed Burned Cinder from head to toe several times and touched his own face that had beard stubble. Then he frowned and thought, “It’s illogical. Even if William likes handsome men, Burned Cinder’s appearance is inferior to mine…”
Burned Cinder’s ears quivered. Even though Lautner spoke in a soft voice, both of them were professionals. Did Lautner think that Burned Cinder was deaf?
However, Burned Cinder was new and forgot how he came here. So he pretended not to hear.
As for whether Lord William liked men… Burned Cinder silently pondered. He did not mind whether it was man or woman. He respected the Lord so William could do whatever he wanted…
William walked at the front solemnly. He felt it was a good time to teach his ‘uncle’ a good lesson. Besides, he had heard bad rumors in the City of Dawn.
Everyone thought that William liked men?
How could it be?
William had very good world views. When he was young, and he touched a girl’s finger, he would even blush.
But now, when he touched a woman’s finger.
Oh, he did not feel anything…
The three of them strolled on the dangerous Stormy Island. It was not safe for them.
They headed east for tens of miles. Normally, they would encounter various magical beasts and even Advanced beasts.
But since William had attained the Advanced, and his aura had become intimidating, the trio did not have to fight their way through the magical beasts.
As they were not part of a large legion and looked small and few, the magical beasts were usually tempted to take a bite at them.
For three hours, William pretended to wander left and right until he arrived at the edge of a canyon that had no perceivable bottom.
Therefore, the three of them looked down.
They gulped at the sight.
William was the first to react. He pointed at the marshes below that were filled with violet flowers and magical aura rings.
Without a doubt, they were magical herbs.
Advanced magical herbs.
He laughed and said, “Uncle, do you want to have magical herbs?”
“Yes…” Lautner’s voice quivered. It felt as though Lautner was unable to hold his sword properly.
“You’ll go down first to bait the magical beasts while I help you to obtain the magical herbs.” William narrowed his eyes.
“It’s me again?” Lautner frowned. Why was it not Burned Cinder?
Why was Lautner always the bait?
Did William know what was down below?
Did William not see the monsters below?
Perhaps it would sound unbelievable.
There were super large earthworms that were a few meters long and had sharp teeth. They were all entangled together. It was not known if they were mating, or they were like this normally.
On both sides of the cliff were huge crabs that would probe with their pincers to kill some creatures…
That pinching action looked devastating. Tsk, tsk.
Even Trolls would not dare to have a taste of those pincers…
In short, the canyon looked disgusting with all the mystical and strange creatures. It was as though the canyon was untouched by evolution.
There were many monsters without eyes and noses. They were entangled together in this canyon…
To Lautner, it was way more disgusting than a battlefield…
But more importantly, Lautner did not expect that they would locate the Advanced magical herbs!
As an Executive, he knew that the City of Dawn only had some novice-level magical herbs that were grown by small Elves…
The quantity was abundant, but the quality was inferior.
Lautner was already in the Intermediate, but he had not been provided with Intermediate magical herbs. Now that he had located the Advanced magical herbs, it indicated his chance to attain the Advanced had come!
“For the magical herbs, I’ll risk it. I can’t let William look down on me.” Lautner inhaled deeply and tied one end of the rope around a large tree, while the other end was tied to his waist. Then he leaped into the canyon!
Meanwhile, Lautner could not help but laugh mischievously. Those magical herbs were grown on the marshes, and on the surface, no monsters seemed to be around. But he was not a fool. There could be fierce monsters underneath the marshes. Otherwise, the magical herbs would have already been harvested.
He preferred to be the bait.
Rather than harvesting the magical herbs.
William and Burned Cinder did not care what Lautner was thinking. They craned their neck and looked down immediately.
They saw brilliant battle energy being emitted in the deep and wet canyon.
When Lautner fell, those hidden crabs tried to pinch him with their pincers and shred him into half.
But Lautner was too fast. With his battle energy shield, his defenses were incredibly high. Those novice-level magical beasts could never break his defenses.
Although the canyon was disgusting, it was obvious that these magical beasts were not that powerful…
With a slash of his sword, Lautner could kill many mystical creatures.
His presence attracted many monsters. As he was about to be surrounded, William glanced at Burned Cinder, who was happily watching the scene. Then he gave Burned Cinder a push…
“Ah…”
A horrifying scream filled the canyon.
Burned Cinder fell into the siege circle, and the canyon quaked.
The large earthworms squirmed deep into the ground.
All the mystical creatures vanished…
At this moment, Burned Cinder and Lautner looked at the marshes. White huge tentacles appeared. They understood they had become baits for the monsters…
“Is that a mythological creature???”
“Marsh octopus…” A large creature that had the size of a small hill appeared from the marshes.
Both of them quickly backed up hastily.
They sense the aura of an Advanced creature…
That was a creature from mythology…
