Chapter 1400 Gathering

Star-Moon Kingdom, Star-Moon City.

After the battle at Stone Forest Town, many merchant players from surrounding kingdoms and empires gathered here. Among the players teleporting in, two or three out of every ten were merchant players with ordinary equipment and lower levels. This was a sight usually only seen in the imperial capitals.

The first thing these merchant players did was teleport to the nearest NPC town to Stone Forest Town. The massive line of merchants waiting was a shocking sight to the other players passing by.

"Are so many merchant players going to Stone Forest Town? It's just a guild town; it shouldn't be like this!"

"Don't you know? When the Zero Wing Guild announced the auction for the Adventurer's Home, they also announced they would be selling various shops. Now, these merchant players want to go to Stone Forest Town to scout out the town's situation in advance. Shops in NPC cities are too expensive, and they have to pay high monthly taxes and compete with the major guilds. How many ordinary merchant players can afford that?"

"But guild town shops are much cheaper, and the monthly taxes are lower. The key is that the number of players in Stone Forest Town is no less than in an NPC city. Moreover, because of the Arena, many expert players are gathering there. How can expert players have a shortage of precious resources? It will be much easier to collect good things and sell good things then. Plus, Stone Forest Town is so safe now; these merchant players are naturally eager to go."

"Wouldn't it be even better for us to develop in Stone Forest Town now!"

...

One by one, the players preparing to develop in Stone Forest Town couldn't help but get excited.

Originally, Stone Forest Town was indeed good with the support of Candlelight Trading Firm, but Candlelight Trading Firm had too few types of goods, far less than in NPC cities. Now that so many player merchants were going there, including merchants from other kingdoms and empires, they would definitely sell many goods from various kingdoms and empires in Stone Forest Town.

At that time, the variety of goods in Stone Forest Town would probably not be any worse than in Star-Moon City, and might even be better.

After all, shops in guild towns are different from shops in NPC cities. Any player who buys a shop in a guild town can construct a simple teleportation magic array in the shop to teleport directly back to the shop.

Unlike shops in NPC towns, guild town shops are much more convenient. There is no need to transfer through the teleportation hall in Star-Moon City and then spend several hours traveling by carriage to the shop in Stone Forest Town.

Meanwhile, in the meeting room of the Underworld Guild's Residence, the higher-ups of the Underworld Guild were gathered.

At this time, everyone was silent, and Yi Xiao Duzang's face was even more gloomy.

Although the Zero Wing Guild was courting death, causing some well-known adventurer teams to give up on settling in Stone Forest Town, the large number of merchant players going there would also attract more free players. Then, regardless of Stone Forest Town or the Zero Wing Guild, as time went on, the gap between their strengths would only widen.

"Now, we can only take down the Ice King as soon as possible. With the Ice King's reward, although it can't exceed the help Stone Forest Town gives to the Zero Wing Guild, it can still contend with it to some extent," Yi Xiao Duzang said helplessly.

Qi Yitao's battle not only did not cause any losses to the Zero Wing Guild, but instead made Stone Forest Town famous. If he had known this, he would never have let Qi Yitao act so early. Now, Qi Yitao was definitely finished. Currently, no guild in the entire Star-Moon Kingdom could stop Zero Wing from dominating.

"Guild Leader, I just received good news," Wu Xia suddenly said.

"Good news?" Yi Xiao Duzang asked strangely, "What good news could there be at this time?"

"Previously, Yan Xue was killed by Hei Yan, and Duan Liushui, who failed the mission, has brought people to revive Yan Xue. Although Yan Xue suffered heavy losses, Yan Xue met Qi Yitao's guide, the Beast Emperor, and the Beast Emperor secretly added Yan Xue as a friend," Wu Xia slowly said, "Now, the Beast Emperor has taken the initiative to contact Yan Xue, saying that he wants to talk to you, Guild Leader, in person. He also said that he is willing to help our Underworld Guild destroy Zero Wing!"

"Qi Yitao's guide?" Yi Xiao Duzang laughed, "Good, you can have Yan Xue reply, and say that I am willing to have a good talk with him."

Afterward, Wu Xia told Yan Xue Yi Xiao Duzang's reply, telling Yan Xue to pass it on.

In front of the War God Temple in White River City, Shi Feng had just stepped out of the advanced carriage.

As the place where one could teleport to the Abyss Battlefield, the number of players entering and exiting the War God Temple was much higher than the Adventurer's Association, and it could be said to be one of the places players had to come to every day.

If the Adventurer's Association was a good place to make money, then the War God Temple was a good place to level up and improve one's basic strength.

If players didn't only have one life per day in the Abyss Battlefield, probably all players would lazily stay in the Abyss Battlefield and never come out.

After all, in the Abyss Battlefield, monsters didn't drop coins, but they did drop weapons and equipment, as well as Honor Points. As long as there were enough Honor Points, one could exchange them for various items and superb weapons and equipment in the War God Temple.

However, it was very difficult to survive in the Abyss Battlefield, and the higher the level, the greater the difficulty. Before level 50, expert players could stay inside for a whole day to earn Honor Points as long as they didn't go to very dangerous places. It was just that they didn't earn much, but they could accumulate it. In a few days, they could exchange for a good weapon or piece of equipment. It was just that these weapons and equipment were more suitable for PK, and their basic attributes and effects were ultimately a little worse than those from wild Bosses and team dungeons.

But this could be considered a paradise for many solo players.

However, after level 50, even expert players would find it difficult to survive inside if they didn't go to very dangerous places. And the Honor Points required for weapons and equipment after level 50 were also very high, so it became a trial ground for expert players and a place for ordinary players to farm double experience potions.

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" As Shi Feng walked into the hall on the third floor of the War God Temple, a third-tier Great Mage with a level as high as 150 walked up and asked.

Shi Feng glanced over and saw that it was Roland, the senior deacon of the War God Temple.

"I caught an Apostle of the Evil God, so I want to come and collect the reward."

The hall on the first floor of the War God Temple was dedicated to handling all matters related to the Abyss Battlefield, while the second floor was the mission area of the War God Temple. Completing the released missions would earn Contribution Points from the War God Temple, which could also be exchanged for various weapons, equipment, and items.

Players could freely enter and exit the first two floors of the War God Temple, but the third floor was a little different. It was dedicated to handling matters related to the dark forces. If there were no such matters, players were not allowed to enter the third floor.

"Apostle of the Evil God!" Roland's old face twitched, and he looked at Shi Feng in disbelief. "I wonder if you could let me confirm it?"

"Sure." Shi Feng directly took out the Mobile Prison and showed it to Roland.

Roland took the Mobile Prison, chanted a spell, and clicked on the Mobile Prison.

Suddenly, a scene appeared in front of the Mobile Prison. In the scene, Qi Yitao was standing in a dark space, constantly attacking his surroundings, with a strong evil aura exuding from his body, and his eyes were bloodshot, clearly driven mad.

"It really is an Apostle of the Evil God." A trace of astonishment flashed in Roland's eyes. The War God Temple and the Evil God Temple were sworn enemies, and the Apostle of the Evil God had even received the favor of the Evil God. They were extremely rare throughout the entire God's Domain Continent. He then returned the Mobile Prison to Shi Feng and said with great admiration, "Honorable adventurer, please come with me. I will take you to the Deputy Hall Master now. I think the Deputy Hall Master will be very happy."
