Chapter 49 The Best Adventure
Chapter 49 The Best Adventure
It must be said that the allure of money is boundless.
Thanks to Edith's financial power, not only adventurers from Gem City, but also adventurers from several surrounding cities are flocking here.
Roughly estimated, the number of people currently gathered in Green Valley Dungeon far exceeds that of the city's defense forces; any adventurer with a bit of skill is participating in this limited-time event.
However, they no longer hunt monsters, but the children of shadow.
These rats are being dug out from all over by adventurers using puppets, who then exchange their heads for money.
However, the situation in Edith is still not entirely optimistic.
"Ms. Vichy, excuse me."
Before the Gem City Treasury, Edith looked at Vichy, whose face was full of ethereal beauty but who looked like he was about to die, and didn't know where to begin.
"You haven't slept at all this week?"
"It's alright, that's how it is for us cultivators, an hour of sleep a day is about right."
Vichy yawned and rubbed his eyes.
"Why are the spell modules being used up so quickly? The next batch isn't ready yet."
"Well, spell modules are indeed in high demand. The current bounty ratio has increased from 1:1 to 1:4, but that's not the point."
"Hmm, His Highness would like to speak with you."
"Your Highness?"
Vishi paused for a moment, then took the magic crystal, and a gentle voice slowly rang out.
"Hello, Miss Vichy, I've heard so much about you. Your puppetry skills are renowned throughout the Imperial Academy of Mages."
"Uh, who are you?"
"My name is Lorraine Belles, and I'm just a nobody."
Rowling Belles?
Vichy paused for a moment, feeling as if he had heard the name somewhere before.
At that moment, Edith pulled an old newspaper from her pocket, on which was clearly written...
[Lorraine Belles was established by His Majesty as the Third Princess of the Empire, and the cornerstone of the law acknowledged her will within the law.]
Vichy's eyes widened slowly, filled with disbelief.
Lorraine Belles, the Third Princess of the Empire?
She finally remembered the meaning behind the name.
The empire's system of succession to the throne was quite peculiar.
It has never based its empire on bloodline, but rather on the practice of the law.
The emperor of the empire is a demigod of law.
Without exception, all the princes and princesses of the empire were believers in the law.
They traveled extremely far in the reflection of the law, practicing the divine creed time and time again, drawing immense power from it.
in other words.
Ninth level.
"......Hello!"
After much hesitation and struggle, Vichy finally had no choice but to bite the bullet and greet the princess.
Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from inside the crystal.
"You're so cute, darling. I thought the genius who could understand the ancient elves' original texts would be very proud."
Rowling laughed heartily, and Vichy could even see the uproarious laughter on the other side.
"Okay, okay, I'm not teasing you anymore."
"Vichy, I heard from Edith that the templates you've created contain ancient power."
The empire needs power like yours now.
Is this an invitation?
Vichy suddenly felt uneasy.
It's true that she knows a little about spell templates.
However, those were all common sense lessons that Shi Qing had taught her.
According to the teacher, drawing talismans and inscriptions are just basic knowledge in the path of cultivating immortality, and this can be praised?
"What? Want to hear your terms?"
Rowling's voice came slowly.
"Those riches and power need no further explanation; they are merely necessary conditions."
"If you join the Empire, I could fly to Gem City right now and find them, you know?"
Vichy was stunned when he heard this.
A ninth-tier being came to this remote corner of the world and personally demolished the underground city?
That's way too exaggerated.
However, Vichy shook his head just a few seconds later.
"It is only right that you avenge this blood feud yourself, Your Highness Rowling."
"Moreover, I, I am not actually a puppet mage, I practice blood magic."
"Blood magic?"
Rowling remained silent for a moment.
"It's okay, my invitation is still valid."
Soon, the crystal flickered a few times and then the connection was lost.
Vichy blinked and looked at Edith.
Did I say something wrong?
No, there isn't.
Edith looked at the decree sent by Rowling with a conflicted expression.
She has forcibly passed the Puppet Project, and under the pretext of verifying its performance, she is sending a large army of puppets to Gem City.
Clearly, this arbitrary decision would draw criticism, given the critical nature of the war between the North and the Shepherds, and the temporary redeployment of troops was a major taboo.
But Rowling still did it, which shows how much she values Vichy.
In this way, there will be no shortage of troops to deal with the Shadow Children.
After hesitating for a long time, Edith looked at Vichy and said sincerely, "Vichy, please reconsider."
Princess Rowling is serious. With her as your introducer, you'll get the best resources, whether it's blood magic or puppet magic.
What is the best resource?
Vichy glanced discreetly into the depths of the Gem City's treasury.
Behind an unseen barrier, the enormous magical furnace was radiating astonishing heat.
Numerous rare and precious materials were poured in, forging countless mysterious and extraordinary powers.
She looked at her hands again, feeling the surging blood and qi within her body. Not long ago, she was a weak child whose biggest worry was not having enough to eat. Now, she could even participate in a war that might change the world.
"No, I think I've already had the best adventure."
"Really? What a pity."
Edith shook his head and quickly disappeared into the shadows.
Vishi returned to the treasure vault and unconsciously looked at Shi Qing, his expression somewhat dazed.
She felt that staying with her teacher was better than pursuing high-ranking positions and generous salaries.
......
at the same time.
Outside the treasure vault.
As Edith emerged from the shadows, the city's defense forces stood ready.
All the vampires are already dressed in their best magical items and anti-magic weapons.
In the sky, the Pegasus of Law has been waiting for a long time.
"What did Miss Vichy say?"
"Unfortunately, our offer wasn't enough to sway her."
"Can't be defeated?"
Hercules's eyes looked a little strange.
That person is one of the most powerful and influential people in the empire.
If this can't be damaged, then what can?
"Everyone has their own ambitions; how can a little bird know the dragon's ideals?"
"The adventurers have cleared away the evil, now it's our turn."
Edith turned around, her gaze sharp.
"Set off!"
at the same time.
The deepest part of Green Valley Underground City.
One by one, the teleportation arrays slowly lit up.
From the shadows, a wild and bloody aura emanated.
Mansa suddenly felt a headache.
The Shadow Children from other branches have arrived.
The number was even greater than she had imagined.
There are nearly three thousand forwards alone.
All the children of shadow are anticipating this blood feast.
