Chapter 222: Retrieving Skeleton

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“What are you blushing about? Hurry up and unchain it for me.” Lin Jie looked at the level 16 chains on his body gloomily but enviously, as this kind of high-level skill could only be achieved by NPCs.

Yatasha unchained him and said with a serious face, “How did you become the Dragon Envoy of Moratti Shrine? The Holy Church and the Dark Shrine are at daggers drawn. Fortunately, it was me who came to arrest you this time instead of the Light Sword Saint Mogata…”

Lin Jie shivered all over. That old fellow would chop him into ground meat!

“Initially, I went deep into the Dark Shrine to destroy their ancient hosting site, this could be helpful for the War of Light…” Lin Jie started to talk nonsense, coaxed her like a little girl using a serious tone. ” Think about it, how can I possibly go and seek refuge with the Dark Shrine?”

Yatasha nodded in agreement. “Indeed, that’s not possible.”

Lin Jie said with anger, “I made such a great contribution to the Guild of Light, yet they confiscated all my things! Yatasha, are you going to help me with this?”

Yatasha blinked her eyes, smiled, and said, “Do you think I can be scammed easily?”

“Er…”

“The Holy Church’s main target is the Demonic Dragon Crown, I know the ability of legendary level equipment thoroughly, and you have experienced it. I know it’s impossible for you to surrender it.” Yatasha said solemnly, “What’s waiting for you is endless torture! I saved you just because I don’t want to watch you die in the Holy Church’s hand.”

“…”

“My mission is to retrieve the Demonic Dragon Crown too, but…” Yatasha waved her hand, “Leave!”

Lin Jie sighed. Yatasha was a Light Hero, yet she was helping him in her best possible ways. If someone treated him like this in reality, he would seek ways to return her kindness and would not make things difficult for her.

However… this was in the game! Lin Jie’s sense was reminding him constantly. It was just a bunch of data standing in front of him! Was there anything that he should not do with it? The most important thing was to maximize the benefits he could get!

Lin Jie opened his mouth. “Yatasha, I need the things that are confiscated. At least… give me back the skeleton of the Exodus Bone Dragon! That belongs to me in the first place!”

Yatasha stared at Lin Jie with a little more helplessness and sadness in her eyes. She finally spoke after a while. “Those things are placed in the City Leader’s Mansion.”

“Thanks a lot!” Lin Jie took out the returning scroll and went back to City of Light. Yet Yatasha sighed as she looked at Lin Jie’s departure.

The City of Light.

Due to the turmoil stirred up by Lin Jie, a number of players who were looking for “Fu Sheng” flocked into City of Light. These people, no matter who they were— studio members or city hall headhunters, they only had one purpose: To find this low-profile yet incredibly powerful player and invite him to join them!

Able to attract Legendary Boss, transform into a Dragon Envoy, and even fight with a load of Holy Church Knights alone, he was indeed a frightening player. If there was a chance to get him into the team, it would be a pity to miss it.

Lin Jie was loitering around in front of the City Leader’s Mansion, wearing a Lone Wolf helmet. Ever after the wife-snatching incident, the number of guards in the City Leader’s Mansion had multiplied by a few times. Not to mention about snatching the City Leader’s wife, even kidnapping a servant would cause one to be beaten to death by sticks. From then on, it had been increasingly difficult for a normal person to enter the mansion.

“I would like to meet the City Leader,” Lin Jie told the guard.

The guard sneered. “People who are disloyal to the alliance have no right to meet the City Leader.”

Lin Jie’s heart skipped a beat. ‘Damn, now the downside of retrieving the Secret legend emerged!’ Currently, he was as good as a national traitor during the War of Resistance against Japan, who looked fine on the appearance but was blacklisted a long time ago.

Lin Jie slightly displayed a part of his inventory, a ferocious dragon head emerged in sight! This was the dragon head which had been hanging on the top of the giant gate of the Moratti shrine! The powerful item which could boost 10% attributes of all players in the city.

“Please enter! ” The guard immediately dropped the disrespectful look. He knew how powerful was a strategic item supposed to be. This was a treasure which would aid greatly when invading another city. If the City Leader found out that he blocked out the person who owned such an item, he would be fired right away.

In the mansion, the laid-back Lord Caesar was still having fun in his room. The person who hosted Lin Jie was the Civil Official Zis Motan, the adviser who owned the most powerful buff in the City of Light, who had ‘fought alongside’ with Lin Jie to defend the city.

Lin Jie tossed out the dragon head directly. The ferocious dragon head almost filled up half of the meeting room and sent forth a frightening aura field which knocked out several weaker servants.

[Black Dragon Head]: Strategic item. Can be used in areas such as cities, stations, territories, and villages. Boost 10% of all attributes of all individuals in the area. When used in cities, its area can get 4 hours of buff each day. This buff has no limitations on where it can be used. The public can decide when to use it freely.

With the Black Dragon Head, all players in City of Light could enjoy 4 hours of great buff every day. This attractive effect would definitely attract swarms of players to the station at City of Light, and thereby allowing the city to evolve in advance!

The Civil Official Zis Motan knew its power deeply.

“Tell me your conditions. ” The Civil Official spoke calmly, “What do you want? Money? Nobility status? If you need, I can utilize my power to give you a mansion. ”

“What an attractive condition.” Lin Jie laughed. “But I don’t need those. I just want to walk around and pay my respect to the majestic City Leader’s Mansion, with no one following me. ”

“No.”

“I will only walk along the periphery, not more than half an hour.”

“Deal!” The Civil Official stood up and shook Lin Jie’s hand and smiled. “Half an hour and get lost soon had a pleasant cooperation with you!”

Lin Jie, “…”

Zis Motan was a man of his words. He did not send anyone to follow Lin Jie. In fact, could a level 26 player stir up any chaos? Furthermore, he would only walk along the periphery, even fewer threats.

Lin Jie acted normally and made his way to the back of the mansion where the secret tunnel was located at. Grabbing the golden opportunity that the guards were not around, he plunged into the tunnel directly!

The secret tunnel was supposed to lead up to the City Leader’s bedroom. However, after the incident, when Baili Xuanyuan broke into the City Leader’s Mansion, he sealed up the tunnel and turned it into a storeroom instead.

Such concealed storeroom was out of doubt a good option to store the items that came out from the Exodus Bone Dragon and the dragon bones!

Lin Jie got into the secret tunnel, and with the help of the Wolf Soul Necklace Night View effect, he saw the Exodus Bone Dragon rewards: Equipment, materials and siege engines which could almost fill up the whole storeroom! And a complete set of dragon bones!

Lin Jie opened his inventory and kept the dragon bones. Although this big guy was large enough to break through the rooftop, it could only be an icon in the player’s inventory, and that was the players’ privilege.

—”You have received the Exodus Bone Dragon Skeleton.”

Lin Jie was delighted. All the Weighted Concentrated Dark Ores were already collected, Heart of Magma and Ten Millennia Frozen Ice were also in-store. Golden Silk Wood was not a problem. Now, a complete set of dragon bones was also attained. Silent Killer would be close at hand!

Right, the reason why Lin Jie wanted to attain the dragon bones so much was to make that Sub-Legendary Fire Gun: the Silent Killer!

Until now, all the materials were in place!

“This is… the Azure Heart? ” Lin Jie looked at the Azure Heart at the corner shockingly. Although Zheng Ziliang already had one, there was no harm getting another one! Who knew, maybe two Azure Hearts would produce a more powerful Gargoyle!

One lifetime, few true friends. How could Lin Jie leave behind the item that his good friend Zheng Ziliang needed? Putting The Water Alloy, The Runes Knife and other high-level necessities into the inventory along with the Azure Heart, Lin Jie took a glance at the time and realized that the agreed time was about to be reached! In a rush, he could no longer grab other worthy items and exited from the secret tunnel right away.

“Enjoyed your walk?” A group of patrolling soldiers approached him and demanded, “The agreed time has been reached. This way, please.”

Lin Jie was sent out of the City Leader’s Mansion under the soldiers’ surveillance.

“Such a joker. He might be thinking that he could get some precious ‘leftovers’ in the mansion. HaHa…” After Lin Jie was sent out of the main entrance, the door guard sneered at Lin Jie’s back.

With one flip, a shimmering Azure Heart appeared on Lin Jie’s palm.

——————————

“Fu Sheng, here’s a piece of bad news.” Just when Lin Jie was immersed in the delightful thought of making Silent Killer, he received a message from Netherblue. “War of Light second main line dungeon—Epidemic Pond dungeon information has already been released by other people.”

Lin Jie was astonished. “What? Impossible!”

“Look at the forum.”

Lin Jie immediately opened the virtual screen. Indeed, the forum was already in chaos! The hottest post was exactly [Epidemic Pond Boss and small monsters detailed information], which included exhaustive descriptions about some of the Epidemic Pond’s small monsters and methods to fight them. It even included thorough research about the small monsters’ attributes!

“This is impossible!” Lin Jie was completely shocked, there was no such thing in his previous life!

However, the post’s promulgator was exactly Kingdom of Glory! As Lin Jie had been reborn once, he could confirm that this piece of information had no errors at all! This was totally the internal information of the dungeon!

The release of the post caused countless advanced city halls to suffer great losses! As the small monsters of the first dungeon Belief Church all had light stats, people thought that the mobs of the second dungeon had light stats too with no doubt. Hence, during this half month, light-resistance equipment’s price doubled, and many city halls prepared abundant light-resistance equipment. Well now, the second dungeon’s information was released in advance, and the small monsters attacks were all of dark and poison ones! The guild leaders could not help, but heap reproaches on the system.

Meanwhile, other smaller city halls and casual adventurers did not even prepare in advance, and hence, suffering a minimal loss and were happily getting ready for the second dungeon: to get some dark-resistance and poison-resistance equipment at least. In the meantime, such a ‘generous’ act of Kingdom of Glory boosted its status. Thus, quite a number of players applied to join the city hall and allowed it to expand within a short period.

Of course, there were some nosey yet righteous players who protested against such action and raised the mocking argument that whether Kingdom of Glory was the son of the system. If not, how could they get the information in advance?

The official website responded, “Kingdom of glory’s act did not offend any game rules, the control center has no right to interfere.”
