I fell into a deep sleep for a long time. When I woke up, it was completely dark outside. I looked at the time and saw that it was past 8 pm. I had slept for more than 10 hours!
The workshop members were all online, so I washed up and went to the kitchen. I heated up some rice and stir-fried a plate of Braised Eel. Then I ate it all with relish. Yes, it was time to go online and see what a castle-level territory looked like. Also, the fusion of the Middle-grade Immortal-grade War Soul Sword and Soul Demise Sword needed to continue.
White light flashed and I appeared in the territory. When I walked out, the surroundings had changed greatly. The town hall I was in had been upgraded to a castle hall. It was grand and dignified. There were two rows of NPC footsoldiers guarding the steps. When they saw me, they respectfully knelt and saluted, "Lord!"
I was slightly shocked. Damn, this is cool!
As a dignified lord, he could be considered the local tyrant of this area!
In the surroundings, the scale of the territory had reached the level of a castle. The ground was paved with stone, just like the White Cloud City. The walls surrounding the city were covered with a layer of iron armor. Even the tall arrow towers were covered with a layer of hard iron armor. Presumably, the Attack Power and Defense Power had been greatly increased.
I looked at the buildings —
Infantry Camp: Level 20
Cavalry Camp: Level 20
Raptor Tower: Level 20
Potion Shop: Level 20
Blacksmith Shop: Level 20
Teleportation Formation: Level 5
Equipment Shop: Level 20
… …
All in all, the series of buildings had all been raised to the highest level under my diligent efforts!
I walked to the blacksmith shop and saw a Master Blacksmith smelting metal. When he saw me, he respectfully bowed and said, "Lord!"
I smiled like a leader with a big belly and said, "Comrade, you've worked hard!"
After that, I opened up the blacksmith's function list and saw that there was a "smelting" section. Thus, I took out the Soul Demise Sword and the Battle Soul Sword and placed them together. I immediately received a notification — — Fusion Requirement: Ice Crystals x10, Reputation cost: 100k, success rate: 90%!
If it fails, all materials will be lost.
I stilled. Damn, there's a success rate?
If the smelting failed, wouldn't the two swords disappear?
This price was a bit too high!
But then I thought about it. If I didn't fuse, I wouldn't be satisfied!
With my personality, there's no reason for me not to try!
I immediately teleported back to the White Cloud City and went to the Scholar's Little Store. I did a quick search and found that there was someone selling 4 Ice Crystals for 2000 gold coins each, which wasn't too expensive.
I quickly took it out and went to the public square of White Cloud City. I searched for the system's Auction House and keyed in the Ice Crystals. Immediately, a list of consignment prices appeared. There were 24 Ice Crystals, and the cheapest one was priced at 1,000 gold coins while the most expensive one was priced at 24000 gold coins. Thus, from the lowest to the highest, I bought 6 Ice Crystals. Alright, I can try fusing them when I return to my territory!
"Whoosh!"
With a flash of white light, Xiao Chen appeared in the territory and quickly went to the smithy. He opened the fusion interface and carefully placed the Soul Slayer Sword, Battle Soul Sword, and 10 Ice Crystals in. Then, he anxiously pressed confirm!
A brilliant light soared into the sky. The blacksmith busied himself for a while, and a brand new longsword appeared in front of him. The transparent and resplendent edge of the sword had traces of ghosts floating around it. The dazzling sword blade shone brightly, and there were gentle runes floating on the sword hilt. A vast amount of energy fluctuated within it.
"Ding ~!"
System Notice: Congratulations, you have successfully fused the Soul Slayer Sword and Battle Soul Sword. You have obtained a brand new weapon — — Fiery Soul Sword. You have spent 100,000 Reputation!
… …
I was overjoyed and quickly opened the stats of the new weapon — —

… …
Hahaha!
A super high-grade sword had finally appeared in the world!
Its Attack was as high as 3750, and it increased attack by 75%, weakened the target's Armor by 75%, and had a chance to deal 6x damage. Damn, this sword could be called an instant kill sword!
Plus, it had a special skill. I could still summon Soul Slayer. Haha, this is great!
Overjoyed, I quickly opened the weapon rankings. As expected, the Fiery Soul Sword was the number one divine weapon. Ling Xue's Sword of Atlantis was ranked second, and third was also the weapon I currently had, the powerful spear — — Thunderbolt Shadow!
At this time, Ling Xue sent me a message: "Scholar, when are we going to turn in the quest for Atlantis?
Let's go together and get some experience. "
"Let's go now. Let's meet at the entrance of White Cloud City's palace …"
"Okay!"
And so, I stored the Fiery Soul Sword and the other three items in my warehouse. They could only be used when I was Level 150. After that, I summoned my Blazing Warhorse and flew back to White Cloud City. Then, I rushed toward the palace.
In front of the solemn palace of White Cloud City, a group of armored guards were standing guard. They looked very loyal to their country.
Not long after, the eight girls of the workshop walked over while chatting and laughing. Everyone was clearly in a good mood. I checked the quest items. A Tortoise Shell and a Valkyrie War Armor. Okay, it was time to turn in the quest.
I entered the palace and stopped in front of the king. The wrinkles on the old king's face looked like tree bark, but his face was ruddy and he looked hale and hearty. It looked like he knew how to take care of his health.
A silver-armored general walked up to me and said in a dignified voice, "Young warriors, why have you come to the palace?"
I immediately took out the quest item and said, "We have something to give to His Majesty personally …"
"Hmph, you think you can see His Majesty just because you want to?"
At this time, the king's gaze fell on the Valkyrie War Armor and he immediately shouted, "Wait!"
While saying this, the king trembled as he ran down the stairs. A group of civil and military officials turned pale with fright. "Your Majesty …"
The king ran all the way to me and stretched out an old, withered hand to touch the Valkyrie War Armor. For a moment, he actually cried and whimpered, "This … this is Anne's aura!
Heavens, my daughter … Why would your belongings appear here … "
"What?
The king of White Cloud City is Queen Anne's father? "
I turned pale with fright. Beside me, Ling Yue, Ling Xue and the other girls looked just as surprised.
The king looked heartbroken as he said, "Young warriors, you must have gone to the dangerous city of Atlantis at the bottom of the sea. You have shocked me … and you even brought back the Dragon Turtle Shell. Heavens …"
While saying this, the king took the Valkyrie War Armor and Dragon Turtle Shell from me and said in a sorrowful voice, "I, as the lord of White Cloud City, swear that I will supplement this incomplete war armor with the Dragon Turtle Shell and make it into an invincible war armor!"
After that, the king looked at me with gentle eyes and said, "Young warrior, hehe, you remind me of Anne when she was young. She also had such clear eyes, and for the sake of the survival of the human race, she gave up her throne and chose to sacrifice herself. May Anne's light forever shine on your path!"
Ding ~!
System Notification: Your party has completed the quest [Undersea City – Atlantis]. You have obtained 250,000,000 EXP, 1,000,000 gold, Reputation + 120000, Luck + 2, and the title: [Silent Rainy Night]!
… …
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh...
Two rays of golden light fell from the sky, and I leveled up twice to 147. The girls in the party leveled up even more. Almost everyone leveled up 3 times on average. The experience reward of this quest was amazing!
Moreover, there was a bonus of 2 Luck. Haha, this reward is very good and rare!
As for the title, I opened it and looked —
[Silent Rainy Night]: Players who obtain the title will enjoy a 50% discount on all purchases made at White Cloud City's NPC shops. Daily transactions are limited to 2 million gold!
… …
Haha, not bad, not bad. I can save a lot of money repairing equipment and buying potions in the future!
Qin Yun said with a smile, "Did you guys get any equipment?
I got a Ghost-grade priest gauntlet! "
"Congratulations, congratulations, I didn't …"
Summer also said that she got a cloth armor corset. Not bad.
Other than that, the rest of us didn't get any quest rewards. However, the experience and gold alone were a lot, so everyone was satisfied.
Ling Xue asked, "What are we going to do next?"
I said, "You guys go grind to Level 150. I'm going to check out the territory …"
"Mn, okay!" Ling Xue turned to Ling Yue and said, "Big sis, are we going to Dark Forest?"
Ling Yue agreed. "Okay, let's go right away!"
As a result, the girls of the workshop formed their parties and I returned to the guild territory. I clicked on the "Confirm Territory as Guild Encampment" from the territory official. This way, players from other guilds could use the teleportation formation in this territory. This was also the time when I started to get rich. Potion shops, equipment shops, blacksmiths, these were all profit-making businesses!
When I pressed confirm, a system announcement reverberated in the sky above White Cloud City —
Ding ~!
System Notice: Player "Frivolous Scholar" has officially activated the territory [King's City] as the encampment of the guild [Snow Moon]. The territory's teleportation formation has been activated, and the encampment is now available for use!
… …
Then, I pressed the teleportation formation button and disabled the permissions of several guilds: Proud Alliance, Blooddrinking Alliance, and Chosen!
These three guilds lost the right to use the teleportation formation. Hmph hmph, how could I bend the rules to my enemies?
After that, I set the teleportation formation fee. 100 gold from White Cloud City to King's City was equivalent to 5 RMB. Use it or not.
At this time, the Sword Fire Dragon sent me a message: "Scholar, there's something I want to tell you!"
"Oh?
I'm in the encampment hall. Come in and we can talk face to face. "
"Okay!"
Not long after, the Dragon Soul walked into the hall, his face ashen.
I stilled and said, "What's wrong, brother?"
The Dragon Soul gritted his teeth. "Last night, Lin Ao and Blood Drinker the World led a thousand players and ambushed King's City. You don't know about this, do you?"
My heart sank. At the time, I had turned off the communicator and focused on fighting the Ancient Dragon Turtle. Of course I didn't know about this.
"What happened?"
The Dragon Soul snorted coldly and told me the whole story —
Last night, Blood Drinker the World and Lin Ao sent a thousand elite players to attack Snow Moon.
At the time, only the Guardian Of Swordfire was online. He couldn't find a way to contact the management, so he led 26 Snow Moon players and guarded the entrance of Snow Moon's territory.
Blood Drinker the World deliberately humiliated them and sent out the Seven-star Lamp. A minute later, the Guardian Of Swordfire fell to the ground, dropped a level, and dropped an Earth-grade weapon.
But soon, the Guardian Of Swordfire revived and came back with a Dark Gold – grade spear.
Blood Drinker the World sent out the loyal Gregory. Two minutes later, the Guardian Of Swordfire revived and dropped a chestplate.
Two minutes later, the Guardian Of Swordfire came back with a Gold-grade chestplate. The other 26 players all died, leaving the Guardian Of Swordfire to defend the territory alone.
Lin Ao sent out the Arrogant Berserk Sword and continued to humiliate the Guardian Of Swordfire who lost equipment.
Just like that, the Guardian Of Swordfire revived 74 times against Blood Drinker the World until his level dropped below 30. He blocked Blood Drinker and Proud's troops outside the encampment for two hours.
Finally, the Dragon Soul received the news and went online with the main force of players to stop them. They finally stopped Blood Drinker and Proud outside the territory, suffering heavy losses.
… …
The Dragon Soul let out a sigh and said, "That stupid Guardian. He's so f * cking stubborn. He doesn't even know to call for his comrades in the guild. He blocked the entrance alone and dropped back to Level 30. A few months of hard work, all for nothing …"
I clenched my fist and said, "F * ck!
Guardian's hard work won't go to waste! "
The Dragon Soul nodded and said, "I just want to discuss with you how to compensate Guardian for his losses. No matter what, he lost everything to protect Snow Moon …"
I thought for a moment and said, "Leave this matter to me!
Is Guardian online? "
"Yes, he is. I've arranged for three Level 100 + damage Mages to help him level …"
"Alright, I got it. Dragon Soul, continue with your work. I'll take care of Guardian."
"Alright."
After Dragon Soul left, I went to the warehouse and found some equipment. Then, I went to Scholar's Little Store and bought a batch of Level 60 metal armor.
I sent a friend request to the Guardian Of Swordfire. A few seconds later, the request was accepted.
"Guardian, which city are you in?"
"Twilight City.
Guild leader, I … "
"That's enough. Return to the city immediately and wait for me at the plaza."
"Okay."
I directly teleported from White Cloud City. In the distance, I saw the Guardian Of Swordfire standing there dejectedly. He was Level 34 and looked like a newbie. The best equipment he had was Bronze-grade.
When he saw me, the Guardian Of Swordfire slowly walked over and said in an ashamed tone, "I'm sorry, guild leader. I'm too useless."
"What are you saying, brother …"
I patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "I'll help you grind for the next two days. I'll help you reach Level 120 as soon as possible so you can use this equipment!"
As I said that, I placed a lightning spear into the trade window —
[Lightning Shadow] (Demon Equipment)
Attack: 1750 ~ 2150
Strength: + 150
Stamina: + 140
Agility: + 135
Intelligence: + 120

Passive: Increases user's lightning damage by 150%
Passive: Increases Laceration Bleeding by 50%

… …
For a moment, the Guardian Of Swordfire was shocked beyond belief.
