"Bing Lan."
"Hmm?"
The beautiful Dragon Speaker turned around with a hint of surprise in her eyes. "You finished the quest so quickly?"
"Yes!"
"Alright then."
Bing Lan walked up to me and held the Dragon Slaying Sword horizontally in front of her chest. Suddenly, there was a crack, and a bloody cut appeared on her snow-white wrist. Bright red blood quickly spilled out.
However, the wisps of blood seemed to be attracted by some sort of force as they danced in the air and formed a complicated Magical Array. The wisps of blood were wrapped in a layer of brilliant red as they danced in the air.
My body felt incredibly numb, as if some kind of magical power had seeped into my body.
Bing Lan stood in front of me and said solemnly, "I, Bing Lan, the Blade of Snow Domain, as a Dragon Speaker, officially grant you the title — Cold Wind Domain!"
Ding ~!
System Notice: Congratulations, you have successfully completed your fifth promotion and obtained the high-level Dragon Speaker title — Cold Wind Domain!
All stats increased by 25%, and you have received a small amount of the Dragon Knight's control. You have also received the basic inheritance of Divine Domain. Your domain power has greatly increased!
Following that, another system announcement resounded in the sky above the continent —
Ding ~!
System Announcement: Player "Frivolous Scholar" is the first player to complete his fifth promotion. Rewarding 150000 Reputation, 300000 gold, 55000 Honor, and the reward item: [Snow Silver Young Dragon Egg]!
… …
Cold Wind Domain!
I liked this new class title. It was much cooler than the Black Dragon Swordsman. More importantly, it was very close to Bing Lan's title. This meant that I was progressing toward Bing Lan's level of power. At the very least, I wouldn't be as weak as I was before!
Moreover, all stats increased by 25%, and I received the basic inheritance of Divine Domain. I didn't know what inheritance meant, but I was very happy that my domain power had greatly increased.
The so-called domain power was similar to aura. According to the settings in Spirit of Grief, every boss had a domain power. The higher the rank of the boss, the stronger the domain power. For example, a Ghost Rank boss with 30000 Attack could not deal critical damage to me, but a Legendary Rank boss with 30000 Attack was enough to make me wish I was dead!
The improvement of my Domain Power will be the beginning of me challenging Legendary Bosses. I believe that if I encounter a Boss of this rank in the future, I will have a fighting chance.
What surprised me even more was that the first player to complete the fifth promotion also received 55000 Honor points. This was just too precious. Right now, my Honor points had reached 320,000, and I wasn't that far from the top 500,000!
Oh right, there was also a pet egg?
I immediately opened my bag and saw a silver ball in the corner. I held it in my hand, and I could faintly feel the life inside it pulsing. The reason I could sense it was probably because of my domain power!
Moreover, I could clearly sense the movements within a radius of several dozen meters. For example, a small red female dragon in the southeast was in heat, looking extremely lonely. In the forest to the northwest, a black dragon had left behind a pile of feces that was emitting green smoke. A land dragon seemed to want to take a whiff of it.
Glancing at Binglan's beautiful face, I tried to sense her inner heart, but I received a powerful counterattack. That strand of will was instantly repelled, and the information I received was that Binglan's heart was completely calm, like an ancient well with no ripples.
Bing Lan snorted and said, "Your ability is still too weak. If you want to know what I'm thinking, then continue to cultivate. Don't think that Snowy Domain Cold Wind is the peak of the realm. To tell you the truth, there's still a long way to go!"
My heart skipped a beat. Wasn't Bing Lan telling me top secret information in the game?
Could it be that after the fifth promotion, there was a higher class rank? Could it be that there was a higher rank than the fifth promotion?
"This Silver Dragon egg …" I looked at the egg in my hand and asked, "My pet is already full?"
Bing Lan glanced at me and said with a light smile, "I know!"
"Then why are you giving it to me, I can't hatch it …"
Bing Lan's beautiful eyes narrowed and said, "The Silver Dragon is a branch of the superior Holy Dragon. Although it's not as precious as the descendants of the Phantom Goddess, I hope you can find a trustworthy master for it."
"What about me?" I began to recommend myself.
"You?" Bing Lan looked at me funny and said, "Dragon Speakers don't need dragons as mounts."
"Then why do you want to use a Silver Dragon as a mount?"
"Let me ask you, why do you want a dragon as a mount?"
"Because it's cool ~"
"That's right, my reason is the same as well."
Bing Lan's eyes flashed with a trace of cunning. She never would have thought that the number one person in Longyu would show such a cute expression.
However, Bing Lan's cuteness was like a shooting star in the sky. In the next moment, her expression turned serious and she looked at me like a respected teacher. She said slowly, "A Level 250 Dragon Knight can ride a dragon. Before that, they can ride any creature on the continent. As for you, as a Dragon Speaker, you need to be even stronger to ride a dragon …"
I choked. My dream of riding a dragon had to be pushed back!
However, the Silver Dragon's egg was in his hands, so he had a good use for it!
[Snow Silver Young Dragon] (Legendary Pet Egg-Mount): Requires the user to be above Level 250, class Dragon Knight, and the Dragon Dance skill must be at least Ghost God tier. After hatching, the Snow Silver Dragon must be above Level 200 to ride. Absorbs 75% of the user's experience per level.
… …
Damn!
Absorbs 75% experience?
Wouldn't that be 4 times the experience per level?
As expected, this egg was a double-edged sword!
But when I thought about it, I could only use it at Level 250. But after players reached Level 250, they might not need to care so much about their levels. According to the information released by Spirit of Grief, the highest level a player could reach was 255,250. That wasn't low.
I immediately put away the Snow Silver Dragon egg. I could use it to lure Bing Zhiyi and Fleeting Time later ~
Now, it was time to learn the new fifth promotion skills of a Dragon Speaker!
After I spoke with Bing Lan, she threw me a skill learning interface. There were three skills there —
[Iron Wall]: Requires a shield. Condenses powerful draconic energy into a steel wall to reduce the damage taken. Defense depends on the skill's level. Lasts 120 seconds. Cooldown: 10 minutes.
[Reverse]: Uses the power of holiness to release a HP recovery skill. Heals a large amount of the target's HP for a certain period of time. Lasts 30 seconds. Cooldown: 300 seconds.
[Raging Flame Dragon Flight]: Condenses Dragon Qi into a Fire Dragon that can be ridden. The Fire Dragon's Attack Power is 1.5 times the Summoner's Attack Power and can release Dragon Breath. The Fire Dragon form lasts for 60 minutes, cooldown time: 24 hours.
… …
My mind was blank, and I felt like I was frozen.
After a while, I finally couldn't hold back my laughter anymore. If I held it in any longer, I would suffer internal injuries!
As expected of a fifth-promotion skill. Iron Wall and Reversal were an ace defense skill, and the other was a slow recovery sacrificial skill. Both were practical skills that could save one's life, but Flaming Dragon Soar was even more ridiculous. It was a skill that could summon a fire dragon, and this fire dragon could be ridden. Didn't this mean that I could experience what it was like to be a dragon knight in advance?
"What's wrong? No money to learn?" Bing Lan looked at me with a smile.
I immediately shook my head. "Yes!
I'm so poor right now that I only have money! "
Learning Iron Wall and Reverse cost 500,000 gold each. Flaming Dragon Flight was even more ridiculous. It cost 2,000,000 gold to learn a single skill. This really was a noble class. Normal players couldn't afford to learn this skill!
Fourth-promotion Swordsmen only cost 5000 gold each. Compared to them, the Dragon Speaker was too greedy!
However, Bing Lan's smile was so bright that no one could blame her.
I checked the assets in my bag. There was a total of more than 5 million gold in cash, so I directly learned all three skills. Bing Lan smiled sweetly and said that I was doing this to help Longyu's reconstruction. I told Bing Lan that with her strength, she could just fly down Longyu and kidnap a big noble of White Cloud City to make a fortune.
Bing Lan shot me a disdainful glance.
… …
After I said goodbye to Bing Lan, I returned to White Cloud City.
The plaza was bustling with noise and excitement. The Bloody Fortress had been rebuilt, but White Cloud City hadn't lost much of its popularity.
After extracting the three skills into the shortcut interface, I lit up Iron Wall. With a "shua" sound, a layer of steel-like shield appeared around me. It was glowing faintly. Sure enough, the skill lived up to its name!
The Elementary Iron Wall skill reduced the damage taken by 5%. In other words, what should have been 100 HP was reduced to 95 HP. It seemed that the Demon God tier Iron Wall skill could reduce the damage taken by 30% or even more. It was indeed a useful skill!
As for Resurrection Skill, after I used it, a green vine appeared and wrapped around my body. The vine then disappeared, and my HP began to slowly recover. I recovered 6% in three seconds, and 60% in 30 seconds. If I used it in tandem with Holy Healing, I probably wouldn't even have the chance to drink a health potion.
Mn, with these two skills, I basically didn't need to bring health potions to grind anymore!
I looked around and saw that the warehouse manager wasn't far away. I walked over and opened the warehouse. At the most eye-catching part was a top-tier necklace with flowing light. It was my Level 200 Holy Artifact, the Heaven Necklace!
I could equip it when I was Level 18. Before that, I needed to push my title to the max!
"Heh, what an amazing necklace …"
I smiled in satisfaction.
At this time, someone patted my shoulder. I turned around and saw that it was Bing Cha!
"Oh?
Bing Cha didn't go leveling? "
"Yes, but I forgot to buy some Blue Potions. I came back to buy some for Sister Qin Yun."
Bing Cha blinked and said with a smile, "Coincidentally, I met two beauties ~"
"Oh?
Beauties? Haha, where are they? "
No, as the former leader of Snow Moon, I should be more mature.
I immediately changed my tone and said righteously, "So what if they are beauties, I'm a scholar …"
"Tch!
I've seen through you long ago! "
Bing Cha smiled and flashed. As expected, there were two beautiful girls behind him. One was called "Bing Zhiyi", and the other was "Fleeting Time"!
"So it's you!"
I looked at the two girls. Their equipment was a mix of Demon Gear and Weather. Although their grades weren't low, their power was limited. Moreover, they were guildless.
"Disappointed?" Bing Zhiyi asked with a smile.
"Not disappointed."
I took out the Silver Snow Dragon's egg and held it in my hands. "You two noob dragonriders, come here. I'll show you something good!"
"Oh?
What is it? "
The two girls moved closer. When they saw the Holy Dragon's pet egg, they were immediately petrified. Their faces were full of surprise and envy.
Bing Cha grabbed my arm. "What is it?
What is it? "
I let her see it, so I petrified another one. This dragon egg really is OP. It has a high chance of petrifying high-level players!
A while later, the three girls came back to their senses. Bing Zhiyi said, "Boss, can this egg really hatch a Silver Snow Dragon?"
"Yes!"
Bing Zhiyi didn't dare to ask for too much. After all, the value of this pet egg couldn't be measured. She smiled and said, "I wonder what kind of dragon mounts we'll get when we reach our levels and go to Longyu?"
I said, "Mostly Wind Dragons!
I heard from Bing Lan that a newborn Dragon Knight doesn't have the right to choose a Holy Dragon unless they're a thousand years old Dragon Knight! "
"Ah?
Dragon Knight?
A thousand years old? "Bing Zhiyi's mouth fell open." Doesn't that mean we'll be dead already? "
"Haha, yeah!"
Actually, I was just making things up when I said that I was a dragon knight. However, it was true that ordinary dragon knights didn't have the right to ride on a holy dragon. This was undeniable, which further emphasized the value of this dragon egg.
Fleeting Time's eyes were full of hope. She rubbed her hands and said with a smile, "Um... boss, do you plan on taming this dragon egg for yourself and using it as a mount?"
I laughed on the inside. The two Dragon Knight girls really wanted it, they just couldn't bring themselves to say it.
Bing Cha couldn't stand it anymore and sent me a message: "Bad girl!
Stop teasing them. Do you want these two girls to take off their clothes and offer themselves to you before you'll let them go? "
I glared at Iced Tea. She pretended to be relaxed, as though she wasn't the one who'd sent the message.
Therefore, I said to the two Dragon Knight girls, "Bing Yi, Hua Huo, watch carefully. I will store this dragon egg in my warehouse. I will give it to whichever of you reaches Level 250 first. Of course, the prerequisite is that you are still my people when you reach Level 250."
The two girls immediately swore in unison, "Boss!
We promise that from now on, we will always be your people. We will never betray you! "
I nodded in satisfaction.
The players next to me heard it clearly and stared at me with wide eyes. It was as if I was an unforgivable human trafficker.
It was one thing to be a human trafficker, but he had kidnapped two beautiful girls. So hateful!
… …
Of course, after spending so much time with beauties like Ling Xue and Ling Yue, I was immune to such murderous gazes. Hmph hmph, just watch. In any case, you won't take away a piece of my flesh.
I stored the dragon egg in the warehouse in front of the two Dragon Knight girls. At this time, I suddenly received a message with a "beep" —
Ling Xue: "Scholar, come to Moonlight Forest, coordinates (73904,0067). Help me and sister kill a quest boss. There are few people, but the monsters are strong. Come quickly!"
