Chapter 74: Chapter 74 The King of Routines is about to come online
Lide’s face, which had been calm, now revealed a thick smile upon hearing the system’s prompt.
He hadn’t expected that there would be additional gains from this battle, a truly unexpected delight.
Of all the rewards, what pleased him the most was the automatic optimization of the Small Fireball Skill’s magic model, increasing the casting speed by 10%. It wasn’t much, but it further strengthened the spell.
He was simply overjoyed.
The favor from the Knight God and the 20% discount on purchases at the Knight Temple were good rewards, but Lide had little understanding of the Knight God.
Moreover, it was highly unlikely that a temple would have the resources he needed, so this reward was better than nothing.
Lastly were the permanent increase of 10 magic power points and 200 character experience. Magic power is always desirable, the more the better, so this reward was excellent. In contrast, the 200 experience was just so-so.
Once again this proved that Glory was not a world where one could simply level up by defeating monsters. Even fighting a boss with the title blasphemer, who was already injured,
winning only yielded 200 character experience, the same amount gained when a Mage Apprentice in the Crimson Mage Tower became a fully-fledged Mage, which was truly frustrating.
The difficulty of advancing a Mage Apprentice to a full Mage compared to defeating a level 14 boss with the title of blasphemer was worlds apart.
The battle seemed an easy, leisurely victory, completely dominating the opponent, but it wasn’t so simple. If he hadn’t improved the Small Fireball Technique in advance, it would have been difficult to hold onto the opponent.
Without the intense firepower suppressing the blasphemer, preventing him from casting spells, just a few Advanced Spells from the opponent could have left him in disarray.
And in the end, the Four Circle defensive magic was formidable; even a Great Mage over level 15 would need to put in considerable effort to break through.
It can be said that the victory in this battle was entirely due to his improvement of the Small Fireball Technique.
Without it, killing the blasphemer would have likely cost him tenfold more.
Instead, it was merely dozens of houses that were burned down, a negligible cost for someone of his substantial means.
“Harrison, have the Security Team and Bloodline clean up the battlefield.
Also, gather all the humans in the square; I have new rules to announce for Dawn City,
including the land distribution plan.”
Harrison respectfully bowed his chest and lowered his head.
“Yes, Ancestor Crown.”
Lide’s gaze was profound as he looked at Emi, who had been tied up and lay half-dead, with a trace of amusement flickering in his eyes.
Level 14, this individual was truly the biggest gain of the night.
“Additionally, bring all the members of the Wolf Gang to the square; I want to hold a public trial.”
“As you wish.”
Once Harrison had left, Lide, whose face was illuminated by the blazing light from the surrounding houses, showed a thoughtful expression.
Emi Bill
Title: blasphemer (30% additional damage against Divine Positions)
Age: 67
Level: 14 (Near death state, current level 12)
Profession: Shadow Priest
Introduction: A traitor of the Knight God, a blasphemer who walks in shadows, the Vice President of the Dark Contract.
Despite Emi being crushed by his improved Small Fireball skill, it was undeniable that the Shadow Priest, who held the title of blasphemer, was incredibly powerful.
A high level of 14, even in Green City, was a force to be reckoned with, stronger than anyone he had encountered recently.
If he had faced Emi at his peak, the outcome of the battle would have been uncertain.
A thought struck him, and he turned his attention to his Talent Specialization.
Blood Clan Ancestor: You are the Ancestor of the Bloodline, possessing a powerful Bloodline, immune to sunlight. Every month, you may develop a Bloodline, and all Bloodline and their descendants will be unwaveringly loyal to you; each Bloodline can provide you with 1 character experience point per month.
The Talent Specialization of the Blood Clan Ancestor allowed him to develop a Bloodline every month.
Lide’s gaze turned to the unconscious Emi.
…
Two days later,
A panicked crowd was gathered in the town square of Dawn City.
The continuous explosions and the rising flames had greatly startled this group of people.
This was a Vampire’s castle!
Many of them were even prepared to flee, with their packed belongings already slung over their shoulders.
Of course, the majority of those who were anxious and panicky were the humans who had arrived in the second and third wave.
The residents of Eric Town, who were the first batch, however, had an incredibly calm demeanor.
In fact, quite a few of them looked at those around them with mocking faces.
“Idiots, this is the Holy Light Bloodline, not those evil Vampires. If you can’t even trust the Holy Light Bloodline, then there’s no one in this world you can rely on,”
“Ha ha ha! Carrying your quilt too? I don’t understand why these people are so stupid. Do they really think they can escape under the watchful eyes of the Holy Light Bloodline?”
“Don’t be so nervous. The Holy Light Bloodline won’t harm you. We’ve been living in this city for half a month already…”
The words of the Eric Town residents calmed the newcomers somewhat, but as they looked at the Bloodline figures around them, their expressions remained tense, and their eyes filled with deep vigilance and caution.
They had yet to assimilate into Dawn City, and especially with the Wild Wolf Gang spreading wild rumors, it had caused the already mistrustful commoners to misunderstand the Holy Light Bloodline significantly.
“Will they really not harm us? But everyone’s saying it’s a Vampire conspiracy…”
“Security Team officer, what exactly do these Vampires want us to do here? They’re not really going to kill us like they say, are they?”
“We’re finished; there are so many Vampires here, we can’t get away. Just a few days ago, I saw a man from next door getting taken away by the Security Team”
As more and more people gathered, the chaotic discussions once again turned the square noisy.
Porcupine, a member of the Security Team, heard the surrounding remarks and sternly rebuked them with a disgruntled face.
“Shut up, stupid fools! Those who were caught are thieves and robbers, the scum who steal your silver puke!
Don’t talk to me about any conspiracies; those are criminals captured by the Security Team, and they are now locked up in the dungeons.”
Porcupine took on a rather fierce expression. He could tolerate being slandered, but he felt indignation when they slandered the Holy Light Bloodline.
“Listen up! The Kachar City Lord has returned.
This time he’s back to allocate land to us!!
Don’t look at the great Kachar City Lord with your foolish and shallow eyes or slander the Holy Light Bloodline.
I’m telling you, as long as you follow the rules of Dawn City, no one will get hurt, and everything of yours will be protected by the Holy Light Bloodline.”
As Porcupine, sporting a red armband, loudly scolded, the surrounding area fell suddenly eerily silent, and the identity of the Security Team filled the crowd with awe.
Although the voices were much softer, the skepticism and fear in the crowd’s eyes hadn’t diminished at all.
Vampires were too evil in human legends, and even if these Holy Light Bloodline members were not quite like the legendary Vampires who killed on sight, their frightening appearances still made it hard for people to trust them.
Even with the provision of free food and accommodation, the favorable impression that emerged had been rendered null by the rumors during this period.
It could be said that the humans who arrived in the latter two waves still had a very low regard for the Holy Light Bloodline because of the wild rumors spread by the Wild Wolf Gang.
Conversely, the majority of the initial Eric Town residents had become staunch supporters of the Holy Light Bloodline.
Those who joined the Security and Logistics Teams were the best among this power bloc.
And while everyone was discussing,
A figure clad in a blue Mage robe, whose handsome face made even the divine beings take notice, stood on the central high platform in the square.
The people at the front first noticed that graceful, noble, and elegant figure and instinctively lowered their voices, fearing their rudeness might offend this noble lord.
Then more and more people sensed something different and gradually stopped their discussions.
Thus, before Lide even opened his mouth to speak, the scene had miraculously quieted down.
Looking down at a crowd that had more than doubled in size from the beginning, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Lide’s eyes.
These were all his wealth.
Although many still harbored hostility and fear towards the Bloodline due to gossip,
He believed that after today, everyone here would become loyal supporters of Lide “King of Tricks” Kachar.
Everyone would work tirelessly for Dawn City.
Because the ultimate scheme was about to begin.
