Chapter 1677 Fourth-Order Magician

Looking at the gray-robed old man, Shi Feng really couldn't believe his eyes.

A Fourth-Order profession!

This was a true expert standing at the peak of God's Domain!

While Shi Feng was still stunned, Aqua Rose quickly noticed this Fourth-Order Magic Mentor, her eyes filled with surprise, but soon a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Not for any other reason, but because of the gray-robed old man's potential.

"What a pity." Aqua Rose couldn't help but sigh. "Although a Fourth-Order profession is powerful, the Mithril-rank potential ultimately won't go far on the road ahead."

Generally, Bronze-rank and Mysterious-Iron-rank NPCs could only reach the Third-Order profession before reaching their limit, and although Mithril-rank potential was much stronger than Bronze-rank and Mysterious-Iron-rank, reaching the Fourth-Order profession was about the same. The hope of impacting the Fifth-Order profession could be said to be very slim.

Now that Third-Order professions were becoming more and more common, it probably wouldn't be long before the top experts of the major superpowers would start impacting the Fourth-Order profession. At that time, the effect of Fourth-Order NPCs would be very limited, not to mention Mithril-rank Fourth-Order NPCs. In terms of combat power, they would be about the same as Fourth-Order top experts with complete equipment and skills. Even if they were stronger, the strength would be very limited.

"A pity?" Shi Feng only shook his head with a smile when he heard this, not saying anything.

"Guild Leader, our luck this time is really too good. We actually have two Dark-Gold-rank guards, and one is a Guardian Knight and the other is a Divine Official. Adding the Guild Leader's two guards, we can completely form a strategy team to deal with those high-level wilderness Bosses with peace of mind," Aqua Rose said happily.

Shi Feng had the title of Earl of White River City, which gave him the authority to recruit four direct guards. He could completely recruit two of them as direct guards. After all, guards like this Dark-Gold-rank were too rare, so rare that even the major superpowers didn't have them. Even if there were any, it would be possible in individual superpowers.

"Forget about these two Dark-Gold guards, I'll leave them to you and Gentle Snow to train. You are now Earls as well, and you should have extra direct guard slots," Shi Feng shook his head. "I'll just choose the gray-robed old man."

Dark-Gold-rank guards were of great help to players, especially with their fearlessness of death. If they could form a standard four-person strategy team, it would be like a dream.

However, he usually acted alone, so rather than having him take them, it would be better to have Aqua Rose and Bai Qingxue take them, because both of them acted in teams. With these two Dark-Gold-rank guards following them, the help to them personally and to the team could be maximized.

"Guild Leader, that gray-robed old man only has Mithril-rank potential..." Aqua Rose was shocked when she heard this.

As the head of a guild, he was the example and face of the entire guild. Even if he didn't bring a Dark-Gold-rank guard, he should at least bring a Fine-Gold-rank guard. If he brought a Mithril-rank guard, even if he was a Fourth-Order Magic Mentor, he would probably be laughed at.

"Mithril potential is already not low." Shi Feng shook his head and smiled when he looked at Aqua Rose, who was trying to dissuade him. "Not to mention he is a Fourth-Order Magic Mentor. He is a city-level governor in the kingdom and empire, a true giant."

Currently, Zero Wing had more than 30 Fine-Gold-rank guards, so Mithril-rank guards seemed worthless. One had to know that the major superpowers probably only had two or three Fine-Gold-rank guards, and some might not even have that many.

Generally, guards with Mithril-rank potential would be treated like ancestors by the major superpowers, not to mention Mithril-rank guards who had already been promoted to Fourth-Order professions.

One had to know that Mithril-rank guards only had the possibility of being promoted to Fourth-Order professions. It was not certain that they could be promoted to Fourth-Order professions, because promotion to Fourth-Order professions was not only for players, but also a huge watershed for NPCs. It could be said to be very difficult to be promoted.

The Fine-Gold-rank guards only had a greater chance of being promoted to Fourth-Order professions than the Mithril-rank guards. This was why many Bronze-rank and Mysterious-Iron-rank direct guards had clearly been promoted to level 100, but had not yet been promoted to Third-Order professions, let alone the Fourth-Order professions that leaped over the dragon gate.

It could be said that the probability of a Fine-Gold-rank guard being promoted to Fourth-Order was only 30%, and a Dark-Gold-rank guard was slightly higher, reaching about 40%. This required continuous consumption of a large amount of resources and repeated challenges to achieve.

However, promotion to the Fourth-Order profession was a very time-consuming thing for both players and NPCs. If one failed, one had to wait a month before challenging again. It was conceivable how terrifying the time spent to truly grow into a Fourth-Order professional NPC would be.

A ready-made Fourth-Order NPC was simply unimaginable.

One had to know that this was a true giant, unlike the Third-Order profession, who was just a top expert. He had not even heard of anyone directly obtaining a Fourth-Order professional guard in his previous life, at most a Third-Order profession.

Taking this out would not only not be embarrassing, but would probably make the major superpowers jealous to death.

Of course, it was a bit low for his direct guards to be at least Dark-Gold-rank, but this could be improved. After all, he had a lot of items that could improve the potential of NPCs, and the gray-robed old man in front of him was not bad in terms of Mithril-rank potential. With a little effort, he could be promoted to Fine-Gold-rank.

Immediately, Shi Feng directly recruited this old man as his direct guard.

Vanderseyde, Ye Feng's direct guard, male, age 76, loyalty 75, growth potential 74, level 112, rank Fourth-Order Magic Mentor.

Looking at Vanderseyde's specific data, Aqua Rose was even more speechless. The other Third-Order NPC guards she recruited were almost level 120, and the Dark-Gold-rank Guardian Knight she recruited was even level 121, but what was with Vanderseyde's level of only 112?

This level was even less than the level 120 required for promotion to the Fourth-Order, and was far behind the current mainstream guard level.

"It's about time. Lost Town should have been completely transferred. Immediately summon the members of our main force team, and also summon those potential newcomers and potential core members who have signed contracts with us. Our main development area will be in Lost Town from now on," Shi Feng said, looking at the time.

"Guild Leader, are we only summoning these members to go? What about the defense of Lost Town?" Aqua Rose asked worriedly.

Currently, the main members of the major superpowers had almost reached level 110, not to mention their Zero Wing. It was true that the Cold Spring Forest was no longer suitable for development, and it was indeed very good to go to the inner area of ​​the Demon Wolf Mountain Range.

However, the Demon Wolf Mountain Range was much worse than the level 100 buffer zone of the Cold Spring Forest. It was much more difficult to defend a small town there than to defend a city.

However, Shi Feng only summoned the potential members and core members who had signed contracts. To put it bluntly, the number was only more than 5,000 people.

This was indeed much more than the number of people who went to Lost Town before, but before, Lost Town was only in a neutral map below level 100. Relying on the high level of the town NPCs and guild members, they could easily fight against the beast tide, but they had no advantage in the Demon Wolf Mountain Range.

Not to mention how the level and combat power of these 5,000 people were, the number alone was not even a fraction of the beast tide army. Plus, there were no town guard NPCs. Were they going to fight the beast tide with hammers?

"It was really troublesome before, but now we have him." Shi Feng pointed to Vanderseyde and said, "All of this is no longer a problem."

"But his level is only 112, and he is still Mithril-rank potential..." Aqua Rose couldn't help but worry.

"Don't worry, it's already enough." Shi Feng didn't explain much, and said very affirmatively, "Now pass this matter on."

"Okay, I'll go and notify them..." Aqua Rose looked at the very confident Shi Feng and didn't say anything. She could only go and notify the guild's potential newcomers and potential core members to prepare to go to Lost Town.

Then, in less than half an hour, all the potential newcomers and potential core members of Zero Wing who had signed contracts directly came to Lost Town, which stood in a snow-white world, using the guild town's return scrolls.
