Chapter 828 -511: The Sword of the Knight of Glory and the Man in the Gray Robe_2
Hei Malou remembered clearly, although Lis had previously offered Gold-tier weapons and equipment as rewards, the contribution points needed from the White Dove Chamber of Commerce were too many.
All the players could do was drool over the Gold-tier equipment in the exchange store, with a string of zeros behind the contribution points making them feel hopeless.
Up until now, no player had any Gold-tier equipment!
But now it’s different!
When Hei Malou saw the lottery wheel, he scrutinized it from top to bottom.
There were no words like [Thank you for your patronage], nor any blank spaces for lottery points, no option to accumulate enough points to exchange for Gold-tier equipment.
Which meant, with just a click, he could become the first player on the entire server to have Gold-tier equipment.
He would become the brightest star on the player forum!
Hei Malou washed his face earnestly, clasped his hands in prayer in front of his chest, closed his eyes, and prayed to the Lucky Goddess for good fortune.
If he weren’t in such a hurry, he would have prepared to bathe and change clothes to show his sincerity.
Hei Malou solemnly clicked the button to draw rewards, his eyes fixed on the speeding pointer of the lottery wheel, feeling his little heart leap into his throat.
Hei Malou felt as if his heart was riding a roller coaster as the golden pointer slowly glided over each different piece of Gold-tier equipment, fluctuating up and down non-stop.
Finally, the pointer stopped at the five o’clock position, landing on a golden longsword.

“What the heck!”
Hei Malou, originally sitting in the Mercenary Tavern, burst into profanity, beaming with joy, attracting the puzzled gazes of the surrounding mercenaries.
But Hei Malou couldn’t care less about others, he was greatly pleased gazing at the golden longsword lying in his backpack.
Originally a warrior, drawing a longsword, a weapon well-matched for him, was already quite fortunate.
Let alone this [Sword of the Knight of Glory]!
Hei Malou was not unfamiliar with this sword; it was the high-tier weapon that first appeared in Lis’s exchange store, attracting many players in Boditch Kingdom to frantically complete tasks.
Though in the end, the points they earned couldn’t even amount to a fraction of the exchange price for this longsword.
Even though many Gold-tier weapons appeared later in the White Dove Chamber of Commerce’s exchange store, this longsword was still among the top three most voted Gold-tier weapons that players desired.
Although the attributes and skills of this longsword weren’t particularly good, ranking only mid-low among weapons of the same tier, still… it was cool!
It was just the dream sword of many players!
Anyway, none of the Gold-tier weapons could be used by players still at Bronze-tier.
Since they were all collectibles, might as well choose the coolest one!
Hehe… sorry, it’s mine now!
Hei Malou carefully ran out of the Mercenary Tavern, found a secluded alley, and pulled out the gleaming gold treasure sword.
The golden light and intricate patterns made Hei Malou chuckle foolishly as he stroked it for quite a while.
After thoroughly enjoying it, Hei Malou took some photos from different angles and cautiously stored it away.
After editing the post about his reward on the player forum, Hei Malou delightedly watched the instant surge of replies and likes on the forum backend, along with the non-stop chat alerts from game friends.
—————–
“Damn, did someone really get this sword?!!”
“Seriously, I don’t believe it unless I get to try it! @Hei Malou”
“Heard the sound of your calculations all the way in Feis Kingdom.”
“Wow~ so cool, I’m set…”
“People can’t… at least shouldn’t…”
“Isn’t Lis really just a secret trader and professional tutor, why doesn’t he come to me???”
…
—————–
Soon, Hei Malou’s post became the hottest topic on the “Divine Revelation” player forum, causing more players to quickly set out for Cui Feng City in excitement.
The next Gold-tier weapon must be mine!
…
Lis closed the player forum contentedly and walked leisurely toward the Lite District.
The sword that Hei Malou obtained was the result of his manipulations.
A lottery~
All predetermined, good luck or not, all up to Lis.
He needed to attract more players to Cui Feng City to join the White Dove Mercenary Corps, becoming his new cash cows.
So he arranged this most coveted sword for Hei Malou.
Judging by the results, it worked quite well!
Having settled the White Dove Mercenary Corps matters with Blair, seeing Blair’s enthusiastic attitude, Lis didn’t need to worry much, becoming a hands-off boss.
Alright, now let’s see.
Which lunatics are causing trouble in Cui Feng City, so that the iron fist of the World Tree Favored makes you feel Gaia’s maternal warmth!
…
Cui Feng City, Lite District
This area lies at the city’s edge, far from bustling markets and towering castles, like a long-unhealed scar on the city’s body.
The streets are narrow and winding, the black-gray cobblestone road, unevenly worn by countless footsteps, with dirty water flowing through the gaps, where a few frail weeds are the only green.
The autumn dusk cast a slanted glow on the mottled walls, failing to penetrate the deep, dark alleys, only making everything appear more desolate.
Low houses tightly packed together, mostly built with poor-quality wood and earth, with weathered walls revealing various dark spots; many roofs covered with thick thatch, suffering from years of neglect, many places collapsed exposing dark holes, rainwater dripping through cracks forming mildew streaks, making the air feel damp and moldy.
As night fell, few pedestrians dared linger, hastily heading home.
Recent attacks and kidnappings have spread panic among residents, even making the entire street devoid of candlelight, everyone honestly stayed home praying for divine protection.
In a hidden underground chamber,
The room was filled with a strong bloody smell, even forming a faint blood mist floating in the air, with faint echoes of painful groans.
The walls were carved with dark gray, bizarre lines, densely forming a special magic array completely isolating the room’s aura.
A tall, thin figure in a dark gray robe sat cross-legged in the room’s center, his folded legs submerged in thick, stinking blood, yet he felt nothing.
The blood pool, soaking severed limbs, seemed to breathe, continually flowing toward the gray-robed man, slowly seeping into his body.
“Hoo~”
After an unknown amount of time, the gray-robed man opened his eyes and stood up.
Looking at the significantly decreased blood pool underfoot, he frowned slightly.
“Time to capture more people again…”
“Who’d have thought the legendary advancement ceremony required so many sacrifices.”
“Sigh, those…””
