Chapter 1324 Promotion

Rain Luo simply smiled and nodded in response to Divine Shadow's question.

"Yes, thanks to Guild Leader Black Flame's help, I managed to get promoted successfully."

However, despite Rain Luo's affirmative response, the tall, thin, and aloof Divine Shadow still found it hard to believe. But the life aura emanating from Rain Luo's body couldn't be faked. This difference in life level couldn't be compensated for by basic attributes.

"Captain Rain Luo, you're amazing!" Fan Muran, who was beside them, was also stunned. After reacting, he quickly said with delight, "Currently, in the entire Dragonheart Island, only Cao Muqiuyi has been promoted to Tier 4. If you're promoted to Tier 4, then you'll be the second Tier 4 expert on Dragonheart Island. If the guild leader finds out, he'll definitely be very happy!"

In this day and age, Tier 3 classes were no longer experts holding the wind and clouds, but the world belonged to Tier 4 classes.

If a power had a Tier 4 class guarding it, its status and right to speak would be greatly enhanced, even becoming a local tyrant. Even those NPC forces wouldn't dare to provoke them easily.

Rain Luo looked at Divine Shadow, who hadn't reacted for a long time, and couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Vice Guild Leader Divine Shadow, can I go with Guild Leader Black Flame now?"

"Since you're already a Tier 4 class, I naturally can't stop you, and there's really no need to stop you." Divine Shadow sighed, completely not expecting that after only a short period of time, Rain Luo had grown into an existence that he looked up to. He then said, "However, I'll go with you, because due to the system's major upgrade, Dragonheart Island is completely different from before. If I lead the way, you'll have fewer troubles."

"Vice Guild Leader Divine Shadow, then I'll go too. Currently, in the entire Azure Blade, besides the guild leader, I have the highest status in Dragonheart City. I don't think those NPCs will make things too difficult," Fan Muran also volunteered.

"Status? Make things difficult?" Rain Luo was puzzled, completely not understanding what Fan Muran was talking about.

When did entering Dragonheart City require players to have a certain status?

However, Shi Feng understood it very well.

After the system's major upgrade, with NPCs becoming the mainstream in God's Domain, those NPCs in God's Domain had also become more realistic.

Especially those NPC forces, although each NPC force was very powerful, they were all affiliated with the major kingdoms and empires, or they were affiliated with the great lords of neutral cities like Dragonheart City.

On the surface, these NPCs didn't dare to mess with players in the NPC cities, but by using their positions, they could still make things very difficult for the major player forces. Even the simplest entry and exit from the city could make players spend most of the day there, delaying players from freely entering and exiting the city, not to mention other things.

So the players' status in the NPC cities became very important.

This status was different from the titles and identities that players obtained, but rather the actual positions obtained in the NPC cities, which in short were positions with real power.

As for the previous players, even if they had the titles and identities of great nobles, they were now just empty titles, more like a title obtained by players, which could get certain benefits.

For example, the privilege of recruiting guards, etc., but for the NPCs after the system's major upgrade, these were just passing clouds, meaningless. The only useful thing was that they could recruit powerful NPCs to protect the players themselves...

Just like when he went to the Twin Tower Kingdom, the senior deacon of the City Hall's address to him was completely different.

There was no longer the usual respectful address, such as Bronze Inheritor, Earl, etc. Some identities were referred to only as this gentleman, until he took out the proof from the War God's Temple, then that senior deacon respected him as Guild Leader, which was entirely because he was the leader of the War God's Temple-recognized guild.

Moreover, in the NPC city, having a status was like being a vice city lord.

Otherwise, in front of this senior deacon, he was an insignificant nobody.

Of course, if he directly revealed his Tier 4 identity, he would also receive different treatment, but it was still a bit worse than players with real power positions. After all, no Tier 4 class dared to act rashly in an NPC city, unless they didn't want to live. So these NPCs, as long as they weren't adventurers running around, were not afraid of the Tier 4 identity of the players at all.

"Alright, you come with us." Divine Shadow glanced at Fan Muran, also quite helpless, but what Fan Muran said was not wrong.

If Fan Muran wasn't a small captain in the Dragonheart Knights in Dragonheart City, it would be difficult for them to even walk out of the gate of Dragonheart City, let alone escape from Dragonheart Island.

Afterwards, Divine Shadow took Shi Feng and the others directly to Dragonheart City quietly. As for the other members of Azure Blade, they took the opportunity to leave the Dragonheart Island area as soon as possible, lest they be hunted down by the Secret Hand.

Dragonheart Island, Dragonheart City.

Because of the system's major upgrade, the current Dragonheart City was very lively. Not to mention that alien NPCs could be seen everywhere in the port, the previously rare Tier 3 NPCs were now all over the streets.

Each of them was at least Level 130, and the high levels even reached Level 150, not losing to those Tier 3 NPC guards in Dragonheart City.

The number of players in the entire Dragonheart City was also greater, especially the vast number of free Tier 3 experts. It could be said that at least two or three tenths of the Tier 3 experts in the vast sea area around Dragonheart Island had come.

One was because the trade in Dragonheart City was more prosperous, and they could buy good things that couldn't be bought outside at all. For example, epic-level weapons and equipment for players would be sold at the Dragonheart City auction, but the currency required was ancient gold coins, not the gold coins that could be bought outside.

The second was because of the fourth underground floor of the World Tower, where there was an opportunity to be promoted to Tier 4.

Not only were a large number of free Tier 3 experts coming to Dragonheart Island to develop, but many super forces in God's Domain had also sent many people to develop here. The number of Tier 3 experts gathered was probably the highest among the major cities in the entire God's Domain.

It could be said that this was why Shi Feng came to Dragonheart Island in person.

However, before Shi Feng and the others had stepped into the gate of Dragonheart City, they saw that Mo Xin Yu and the others seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and hundreds of people were standing at the gate, carefully examining the players coming and going.

In addition to Mo Xin Yu, the rarely seen Oathblood Battle Soul was also standing beside a black-robed stalwart man wearing silver-gray knight armor, quietly watching the crowd.

But the appearance of Oathblood Battle Soul also attracted the attention of many players present.

"What's going on? Why is Oathblood Battle Soul here?"

"I heard that it seems to be because someone in the Ring Island Sea area killed a high-level member of War Blood, so Oathblood Battle Soul came here specifically."

"Damn! Who is so awesome that they even dare to kill people from the War Blood adventurer group?"

Everyone looked at Oathblood Battle Soul, who was quietly overlooking everything on the city wall, and discussed privately. They admired the person who dared to kill the high-level members of War Blood.

They had to know that on the entire Dragonheart Island, even those super forces had to lie low and act according to the wishes of the War Blood adventurer group, otherwise the end would be very miserable. In the current situation where the War Blood adventurer group was in full swing, daring to kill the high-level members of the War Blood adventurer group was not a problem that could be solved by just dying once.

"Shh, keep your voices down, didn't you see the man next to Oathblood Battle Soul?" A Level 122 Tier 3 Ranger looked at the whispering guild members and couldn't help but scold, "That person is the Tier 4 NPC Sabrede of the Secret Hand, one of the vice commanders of the City Defense Knights. If he notices you, you'll be waiting to be locked up for several days!"

As this Tier 3 Ranger spoke quietly, the squad members present did not dare to speak.

Because they had heard of Sabrede, this NPC, for a long time. It was because of this NPC that the super forces who wanted to enter Dragonheart City suffered heavy losses. The Tier 3 experts of each guild were all locked up in the Dragonheart City prison for three days. The reason was simple, these Tier 3 experts provoked the vice commander of the City Defense Knights.

The super forces had no temper at all about this.

"Damn it! Oathblood Battle Soul's speed is too fast. He actually called Sabrede so quickly. It's going to be difficult for us to enter Dragonheart City now." Divine Shadow looked at the black-robed knight on the city wall, his face slightly sinking, "With that Sabrede there, he will make things difficult for us in every way, making it impossible for us to enter the city. As long as our words are slightly intense, he will use his authority to immediately arrest us."

However, before Divine Shadow finished speaking, Oathblood Battle Soul on the city wall also discovered Shi Feng and the others, and a rare sly smile appeared on his lips.

"Lord Sabrede, I've found those troublemakers." Oathblood Battle Soul walked to the black-robed knight, pointed to Shi Feng and the others in the distance, and said coldly, "It's those people. The man at the head of them even let go of the Azure Blade remnants, completely disrupting our War Blood adventurer group's expansion plan!"

"Is that so?" The black-robed knight Sabrede, who was forty years old, looked in the direction that Oathblood Battle Soul knew, squinted his eyes, and then said to the guards next to him, "Go, bring them to me. If they dare to resist, you know what to do, right?"

"Vice Commander, don't worry, leave it to us!"

This Tier 3 Level 150 guard smiled and nodded, and then took more than a dozen people in the squad and walked directly towards Shi Feng and the others with smiles on their faces.
