Chapter 504 - 473 The Prince’s Meeting Day Expires
The construction site of Radiant City is bustling once again, Sain commands a portion of Steel Puppets to begin the construction of the sewer Alchemy Laboratory.
While Fat Wind, the manager, opens a Space Gate, several mechanical arms resembling crane booms slowly extend from the portal. Under his surprisingly nimble direction, which is quite incongruous with his chubby arms, the mechanical arms carefully retrieve the massive Demon Eye Skin back through the Space Gate. The entire process showcases the high-end and grandiose capabilities of the Mage Academy, making Da Fei feel utterly out of place, as if they were not living in the same game world.
The transaction is officially completed.
Fat Wind also breathes a sigh of relief and chuckles, "Lord, we admire your accomplishments at such a young age, but for certain reasons, we cannot continue to trade with you for the time being. However, that’s not a problem, our interactions are not limited to just transactions. If you ever have time, you’re welcome to visit the Holy Crown City Alchemy Guild."
——System Prompt: Your reputation in the Seven Cities Alliance’s Holy Crown City has increased by +1000.
Oh my! This also increases reputation? Hahaha, who said it’s hard to raise reputation in Mage City? Here it comes again!
Da Fei also chuckles, "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Manager. I wish you further success in your endeavors."
Fat Wind smiles and says, "We wish you, Lord, every success as well. So, farewell!"
"Goodbye!"
Watching the two Fat Winds disappear into the Space Gate, Da Fei also can’t help but let out a long breath of relief. Who would have thought, who would have thought, this Demon Eye really is a treasure trove; although the drops seem so-so, this creature has both appearances and substance!
And at the current stage, who can fully explore the potential of this skin? At most, it’s going to be stored in the warehouse, stockpiled for years until someone figures out its use. Therefore, the importance of knowing the Mage Academy lies in the digestion of such advanced advantages. After all, sometimes being too advanced and dropping equipment that cannot be used can really be a pain. Therefore, selling to the Mage Academy for urgent needs for development is a good approach. Though there may be short-term losses, it’s definitely worth it in the long run.
Just as he’s feeling pleased with himself, Selvia mutters, "I haven’t made any money yet, so I can’t go order clothes."
Da Fei chuckles dryly, "No worries, as long as we have equipment and combat power, we’ll have all the money we want in the future!"
Ah, that’s true, if it weren’t for the Thunder God Power, I’d be happily sitting on a billion Gold Coins right now, everything would be within reach. In any case, we must earn back the money for this set of equipment; this is forcing me to make a big move!
But for now, let’s not think about any big moves. Having killed such a significant figure of the Demon Race, who knows how they’d react. In any case, prepare for war to the end, all Flower Demons, Banshees, Druids, and Slimes saturated with water take turns charging the Charging Crystals.
As for now, let’s hurry and find Makar to decrypt this map collection.
...
In the Demon King Hall, Lei Huolong steps out of the hall, taking a long breath of relief. The development of the situation has surprisingly exceeded his expectations!
Not only has he successfully persuaded the Demon King to remain calm and restrained, but he has also convinced the Demon King to escalate the war’s intensity! That’s right, the Demon King has agreed to launch a lightning war on the Pool of Radiance by teleporting more powerful legions from other fronts when preparations are ready and the time is ripe! This is truly killing two birds with one stone! Without barriers, I don’t believe the Elves could possibly withstand the Demon King’s elite troops. That Demon Eye Governor truly died a worthy death!
It’s just a pity that the death of the Demon Eye has once again benefited Da Fei immensely; who knows what treasures Da Fei has obtained this time. But most likely, it was NPCs who killed it, right? How could players possibly kill such a wretched boss? In any case, Da Fei, this is probably the last time you can gloat.
Just as Lei Huolong sighed in contemplation, the people below immediately reported: "Team leader, Da Fei has been spotted again, he has gone to Saint Paul Duke Mansion."
Lei Huolong’s eyebrows tightened, going to the Duke for more good stuff? Fine! Da Fei, you’re badass, and even if you’re just a casual player, I’ll treat you like a top professional player in the world! I won’t give you any chance!
...
Duke Mansion’s library reception room.
This time, the Duke didn’t keep Da Fei waiting long. He strode in and got straight to the point with a smile: "Did you receive the goods from the Mage Academy?"
Ah, hurried over just to ask such a superfluous question!
Da Fei quickly bowed and smiled: "Received, thank you Teacher for the help. The water of the Pool of Radiance has had a great recovery effect after the purification by the giant slime monster, and the students also used the Charged Crystal to successfully slay a magic-eye warlord called Agarlon!"
The Duke laughed heartily: "As expected of my best student, it wasn’t in vain that I took this trip for you. But don’t be too proud or arrogant, it’s not out of the question that the big spider ignored his distress, allowing you to succeed."
Da Fei’s eyebrow twitched: "Ignored his distress?"
The Duke shook his head with a smile: "Agarlon was a rising star fully nurtured by the Demon King, highly likely to become a hero. Once he successfully became a hero, he would have been a dazzling flying hero, and the commander of the Pool of Radiance might not have been that big spider anymore. Now that Agarlon is dead, even if revived by the Demon King, his vitality is greatly damaged, and he won’t have the chance to progress to a hero for hundreds of years."
Only then did Da Fei realize, no wonder the balloon almost reached the shore, but the guy actually managed to piss himself to death right outside the toilet door! This big spider really lives up to being a divine teammate! So, under normal circumstances, I might not have been able to kill him? His power indeed lives up to the treasure-filled implications of his figure, huh?
However, it’s such a pity. His soul has been sucked by me, so he’ll never think of coming back to life. If he wasn’t a hero yet and he was already this wretched, if he actually became one, could I still happily play around?
Da Fei couldn’t help feeling immensely grateful: "Thank you, Teacher, for the advice. The student indeed got a bit carried away. Here is a map book found on Agarlon, please have a look, Teacher."
The Duke took the map book, and his eyebrows suddenly jumped. He immediately said: "This intelligence is very valuable; it could be enough to reverse the Passive situation of the Pool of Radiance. I need to rush to decipher it! Alright, time is pressing, if there’s nothing else, you should hurry back to your post. The Demon King won’t let Agarlon’s death slide!"
Er, I still wanted to ask how much I owe you.
Da Fei could only say: "Then, I shall take my leave, Teacher!"
As soon as Da Fei left the Duke Mansion, the mission info panel suddenly lit up:
—System Prompt: Please note, the meeting time you have agreed with Dwarf Second Prince Alberon has come. Please go to the Black Crystal Stone private room on the second floor of the Iron Helmet Tavern in Moradin City before the end of today to wait for the person arranged by the Prince.
(Note: See Chapter 308 "Da Fei Enters the Royal Palace")
The expected has finally arrived! Damn it, with a major enemy ahead and enemy retaliation imminent, can I even leave? In any case, I need to rush back to the Radiant City to make arrangements. I can only hope that Anlicia, the Deputy City Lord, can safely bridge this period and hope that this mission can be settled quickly. (To be continued.
