Chapter 1319 Blackwater Guild

Sitting on the guild leader's throne, Qi Yitao frowned slightly upon hearing Qin Muyun's words.

In truth, he too was displeased by the sudden turn of events in Stone Forest Town.

Due to Stone Forest Town's rapid progress, many of Zero Wing's elite members and experts had flocked there, significantly increasing the difficulty of conquering the town.

Now, with the appearance of this wandering merchant, even more free players would likely want to join Zero Wing.

Becoming a member of Zero Wing not only granted access to member benefits in the Colosseum but also made traveling to and from Stone Forest Town incredibly convenient. Unlike other players who had to travel on foot, guild members only needed to purchase a guild teleportation scroll.

The time saved was enough to entice many free players with decent skill and strength.

He had already received reports that the number of players wanting to join Zero Wing had doubled since the Colosseum's emergence, and any elite or expert player who joined invariably went straight to Stone Forest Town to develop...

"I understand. Just tell Shao Jing that with a little more time, Stone Forest Town will soon be in the hands of our Blackwater Guild," Qi Yitao nodded. "Also, tell Black Robe that the large quantity of sacrifices he needs is ready."

He had to admit that Zero Wing was indeed growing stronger.

Unfortunately, they had encountered him. Otherwise, no one in the Star-Moon Kingdom could have stopped Zero Wing from dominating it. But now that the Blackwater Guild had arrived, Zero Wing was doomed.

Hearing Qi Yitao's response, Qin Muyun turned and left the guild leader's office.

...

Inside the Ancient God's Ruins, in front of the wooden cabin, Shi Feng teleported back using the Abyssal Pendant.

This time, Shi Feng directly opened the wooden door and entered the cabin.

The cabin seemed small and only had one floor, but the interior space was surprisingly vast. It was similar to player-built structures, where the interior space was much larger than it appeared from the outside, only this cabin was even more exaggerated.

As soon as he stepped inside, he saw an elegant hall about the size of two basketball courts. Exquisite glass cabinets were placed throughout the hall, displaying various rare items, including some that would tempt even expert players.

Ten level 200 NPC guards stood watch in the hall, with four of them constantly guarding the staircase leading to the second floor.

Besides the guards, there was also a handsome and beautiful young man who looked like a butler. His appearance was captivating enough to make any man's heart flutter. His displayed name was Harold, and nothing else was visible.

However, using advanced observation skills would reveal that this seemingly young and beautiful Harold was not human at all.

Harold, High Elf, Saint Magister, Level ???, HP ??????

In his previous life, many players loved to discuss who was the strongest NPC in God's Domain, and they would often create rankings based on tier. This meant that comparisons were only made within the same tier. Harold, as a Tier 5 NPC, had always been a mystery.

Even when many players reached level 200 in his previous life and used extremely powerful observation skills, the final result was still unknown. They could not determine Harold's level or HP. Furthermore, no one had ever witnessed Harold's true power.

Although several Tier 5 peak experts had attempted to loot the Gold Sand Exchange, they were suppressed by Harold in a single move. They not only lost 10 levels but were also imprisoned for over half a month. From then on, the five of them dared not provoke Harold again. They only knew that this high elf was extremely powerful. After all, ordinary Tier 5 NPCs could not possibly suppress six Tier 5 players with a single move. Even Keter, the Wind Rider, didn't have that kind of power.

Therefore, Harold's strength had always been a mystery, but he was undeniably ranked among the top five Tier 5 NPCs.

As soon as Shi Feng entered the exchange, Harold slowly walked up to him.

Harold graciously handed Shi Feng an exquisite flower crown badge and said softly, "Esteemed Sir, congratulations on becoming a member of our exchange. This is our exchange's membership badge. In the future, you can freely come and go from this exchange with this badge. In addition, you can also go to the second-floor hall, where the items available for exchange have been carefully selected as rare treasures."

"Thank you. I'd like to take a look at the second floor. Do you have any recommendations for the best items of the week?" Shi Feng said, taking the exchange membership badge, acting like a regular customer.

After obtaining a large number of magic crystals, he directly paid 10,000 magic crystals. Although it pained him somewhat, compared to other methods of becoming a member, this was the best choice.

"Esteemed Sir, please follow me." Harold said, leading Shi Feng to the second-floor hall.

The second-floor hall was relatively smaller than the first-floor hall, and there were fewer glass cabinets on display, at most only one-tenth of the first floor's. However, even so, the 30,000 magic crystals Shi Feng carried would probably not be enough to buy one-tenth of the items here.

The value of any item here was above 2,000 magic crystals, and just a glance revealed that there were quite a few items worth over 10,000 magic crystals...

"The second floor is indeed not a place for ordinary people." Shi Feng clicked his tongue inwardly.

One hundred magic crystals could be exchanged for 25 gold coins on the market, so 10,000 crystals would be 2,500 gold coins. This meant that there were items on display worth over 2,500 gold.

2,500 gold!

Even the selling price of epic items was only around that much.

"Sir, hello. Among the many items that have arrived at our store this week, these five items are the ones we are most proud of. I hope you like them," Harold said with a smile, leading Shi Feng to a glass cabinet protected by a magic array, speaking with great confidence.

"This is... a Grandmaster-level magic array!" Shi Feng was shocked when he saw the magic array protecting the five items.

He had studied quite a few magic arrays and could even inscribe intermediate magic arrays. Although he wasn't a Grandmaster in magic array creation, he could still discern the approximate level of a magic array.

The power of the magic array beneath his feet was something he had only seen in the Imperial Palace of the empire's capital.

With this Grandmaster-level magic array in place, even a group of Tier 5 NPC professions would be helpless in the short term. If it encountered an extremely powerful Grandmaster-level magic array, it could even lead to the demise of Tier 5 NPC professions.

And such a Grandmaster-level magic array was being used to protect five items...

It was simply too extravagant!
