Chapter 1488 Countess Katie Green

"Sir, this is the Earl's residence, and outsiders are not allowed to enter."

Shi Feng had just stepped through the gate when an old man in a black tuxedo suddenly blocked his path.

"Outsiders not allowed?" Shi Feng was slightly surprised and glanced at the old man.

Milton (Earl's Butler), Human, Level 140, HP 55,000,000.

Although this was the Earl's residence, Countess Katie Green had opened many black market shops within the Black Dragon Empire, often engaging in trade with various NPC merchants, so there were usually no entry restrictions.

The last time he came, there was no so-called butler. Now that he was entering again, access control had been established, indicating that Katie Green had become quite wary.

If not handled properly, it could further provoke Katie Green, and next time he came, he might not even be able to find her.

Fortunately, he had the Dark Strider's Cloak, coupled with the effects of the Demon Mask, making it not so easy to detect his disguise.

"Hello, I heard that the Countess has always been very interested in magic crystals. I have quite a few on hand. I wonder if I can meet the Countess?" Shi Feng then revealed his Demon Hunter title.

Demon Hunters were known as the nobles of the world, enjoying noble treatment wherever they went. With this title, even entering a Duke's mansion was enough.

"So you are a Demon Hunter, please come with me."

Seeing Shi Feng's title, Milton immediately became respectful and took Shi Feng into the mansion.

Countess Katie Green was very famous in the Black Dragon Empire in his previous life, for two reasons. First, Katie Green had a black market shop in the Demon Abyss City of the Black Dragon Empire, and the Demon Abyss City was like the Eternal Darkness City of the Star-Moon Kingdom. The items sold in this shop were all high-end goods, some of which could even tempt super forces.

However, it was not easy to buy things in that shop. One needed to obtain enough favorability from Katie Green to become a member of that shop and buy things inside. When purchasing items there, neither gold coins nor magic crystals were useful. It was like a high-end auction, where one bartered.

The second was exchanging for Sands of Time, which was also Katie Green's most famous service in the Black Dragon Empire.

Sands of Time was extremely rare, and generally only had a chance to drop in super-large team dungeons. The higher the difficulty, the greater the chance of dropping. However, even ordinary-level super-large team dungeons were not something ordinary teams could touch. Except for a very few well-known adventurer teams and top adventurer teams, they were entirely the domain of large guilds.

Because of this, Sands of Time was very precious and generally considered a strategic material by major guilds.

However, Sands of Time could be exchanged at Katie Green's place, limited to 100 grains per day. As for the exchange ratio, one magic crystal exchanged for one grain of Sands of Time. In terms of value, Sands of Time was more precious and had more uses, so major guilds liked to exchange for it.

This also caused quite a few conflicts and was eventually taken over by the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion.

Currently, no one knew about this matter. He had accumulated quite a few magic crystals before, which he could exchange. As for the treasure, he still needed to investigate it slowly. After all, she was an Earl of the Black Dragon Empire, with an extraordinary status, not to mention her strength.

Being able to open a shop in the central area of the Demon Abyss City was impossible without sufficient strength.

She could be said to be comparable to Whiteman, the administrator of White River City, possessing peak Tier 4 combat power, which was not something he, a Tier 2 player, could contend against.

Before long, the butler Milton led Shi Feng to an elegant and quiet indoor garden on the third floor. At this time, a beautiful woman in a gorgeous blood-red dress was drinking black tea, quietly reading an ancient book, giving a feeling of indescribable tranquility, as if being embraced by nature, intoxicating.

"How could she be so strong?" Shi Feng looked at Katie Green, feeling unspeakable shock in his heart.

He had seen Katie Green more than once in his previous life. The level displayed before was always a Tier 4 Sky Knight at Level 180, but now the data displayed was a Tier 5 Holy Magic Knight at Level 180.

Although there was only one tier difference between the two, their strengths were vastly different.

Tier 4 NPCs were the ones who guarded major NPC cities, while Tier 5 NPCs were rarely seen even in kingdoms, like legendary figures, absolute overlords. Even in the empire, they could only be seen in the imperial capital, while seeing them in other major NPC cities depended on luck.

Now, Katie Green had become such a terrifying figure...

Thinking that one of the fragments of the Seven Luminaries Treasure was in Katie Green's hands, he felt utterly hopeless.

Not to mention that he was currently Level 57, even if he became a Tier 5 class at Level 180, he probably wouldn't gain any advantage in Katie Green's hands. NPCs were not like players; it was very difficult to improve, so every time they advanced a tier, their strength would undergo a qualitative change, and the higher the tier, the more terrifying the improvement.

If he could defeat a Tier 2 NPC with his Tier 2 class, then reaching Tier 4 and being on par with a Tier 4 NPC would make him an absolute top expert, possessing remarkable weapons and equipment. The so-called remarkable here meant at least equipping one or two fragments of legendary items, otherwise, trying to compete with a Tier 4 NPC would be simply courting death.

NPCs were not like players, and they could obtain top-quality equipment more easily than players. Epic equipment, which was extremely difficult for players to obtain, could be bought casually as long as they had money, not to mention Tier 4 NPCs.

As for Tier 5 NPCs, needless to say, Tier 5 players could not compete with them without legendary items, because ordinary Tier 5 NPCs were at least equipped with one legendary item.

Generally, in God's Domain, a small team of Tier 5 players was needed to join forces to fight against a Tier 5 NPC. This was the terror of Tier 5 NPCs.

"I heard you have a lot of magic crystals?" Katie Green put down the book in her hand and glanced at Shi Feng, asking softly.

"Yes, Your Excellency Countess." Shi Feng nodded, while also being glad that he had the Dark Strider's Cloak. Katie Green did not detect his disguise, nor did she detect the aura of his Golden Holy Mark.

If he had been discovered, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"How many do you have?" Katie Green then asked, "If you sell enough, I am willing to pay generous rewards."

Hearing Katie Green say this, Shi Feng was quite surprised. He didn't expect Katie Green to be so enthusiastic about magic crystals, which was not the case in his previous life.

"Could it be because of my appearance last time that she has undergone such a change?" The only explanation Shi Feng could think of was that his War God's Temple identity was discovered last time. He then thought for a moment and said, "I currently have one hundred magic crystals. I don't know if that's enough?"

These one hundred magic crystals were all prepared for exchanging Sands of Time, so he didn't bring more. Looking at the situation now, it was really a bit of a miscalculation.

"One hundred? Speak, what do you need?" Katie Green nodded slightly, obviously very satisfied, and said, "If you don't know what you need, I can take out some of my treasures for you to take a look at. Of course, this requires exchanging magic crystals."

As she spoke, Katie Green waved her hand, and a stone platform formed on the ground, filled with various golden, glittering items that all exuded a faint pressure.
