Chapter 112 Crystal of the Seven Moons
After the Martial Alliance was annihilated, the news quickly spread throughout Willowbrook Town.
Some people even uploaded videos of the battle to the official forum, and Eric instantly became famous.
Devouring Serpents first conquered the Infernal-level Shadowmoon Graveyard, then took down over a hundred members of the Martial Alliance. Isabella's stunning appearance had already conquered all the male players, instantly skyrocketing the status and influence of Devouring Serpents in Silvercrest Dominion. Countless new players were eager to join the ranks of Devouring Serpents.
Because of this video, many guild executives also took notice of Eric.
The reason for this battle was that the Martial Alliance sought revenge against Eric. However, Eric not only received help from the Ice Goddess, but also directly killed Leo Ironblade, proving his formidable strength. And because of his excellent relationship with the Ice Goddess, the guild executives instructed their subordinates to be cautious.
Upon Eric and the others' return to Willowbrook Town, many players on the street shifted their gaze towards Eric.
"Isn't that Kai Blackthorn, who went on a dungeon run with the Ice Goddess?" a male warrior said.
"If I ask Kai Blackthorn, do you think he would help me level up?" a shy female Elementalist said to her companion.
Along the way, Eric became a superstar. Wherever he went, people were captivated by him and couldn't stop talking about him.
"Eric, you're already a celebrity. Now, with just a wave of your hand, a bunch of female players will come. Don't forget to introduce a few to me," Tonny joked.
"Stop fooling around. Our top priority now is to level up. The sooner we reach level 10, the sooner we can get to Silvervale City and gain more advantages," Eric said with a smile. "Everyone's tired now, so let's rest for an hour, repair our gear, and buy some supplies before regrouping."
Hearing Eric's plan, Tonny and the others immediately went to the blacksmith to repair their equipment.
For some reason, normally, when farming level 5 Woodland Wargs for dozens of hours, the equipment's durability wouldn't drop much. But after one team dungeon run, the equipment's durability had fallen by nearly half. If they went on another dungeon run, the durability would drop to 1 or become useless in just three or four hours.
When they arrived at the blacksmith, they made a startling discovery.
Previously, they frequently changed equipment, so they never repaired it. Now, Cola's equipment still had more than half its durability left, but repairing it cost one silver and 63 copper, enough to buy a level 1 Bronze Equipment.
Repairing equipment became more expensive as durability decreased. If the durability dropped to 1, it would cost at least four silver to repair, which was what Cola earned in two days.
However, Cola was earning money faster than elite players because he was with Eric. If elite players had to repair their equipment, it would cost them all their earnings from several days.
"Boss, you're robbing us," Cola complained as he reluctantly paid the one silver and more for the repair. If they hadn't received a mysterious chest from clearing the Infernal-tier Dungeon, which contained over three silver and five bottles of intermediate recovery potions, he would have been broke just paying for the repairs.
"Adventurer, I already gave you a 10% discount. It's very cheap," the blacksmith retorted.
Hearing the blacksmith's words, Tonny and the others were taken aback. They realized that their reputation in Willowbrook Town had reached 30 points, granting them a 10% discount on purchases. However, they hadn't anticipated that repairing equipment would cost more than they had imagined. With their equipment worn out, not only would they lose their gear, but their leveling speed would also significantly decrease. Therefore, they had no choice but to proceed with the repairs.
At the auction house in the trade district, Eric was on a shopping spree. The Glowing Outfit Design Blueprint he sold earlier had earned him a lot of money. Now, he had 73 gold in his backpack, making him the richest person in Silvervale City.
He bought anything he thought would appreciate in value because as players leveled up, in-game currency would become more accessible to obtain and its value would decrease. Holding onto it would only lead to depreciation, so he bought valuable items to store in the bank.
After a long time away, the auction house had many valuable items like sturdy stones and card sets. Eric spent over eight gold, filling his new six 40-slot bags. He made several trips to the bank to store these items, which would soon multiply in value, even tenfold. Just thinking about it made him happy.
However, the price of the Glowing Outfit Design Blueprint had started to drop, now around two gold each. It wouldn't be valuable for long.
Seeing fewer guilds buying the Glowing Outfit Design Blueprint, Eric decided to sell it for a while longer and then find other ways to make money. His main goal now was to earn credit points, and what he had earned so far wasn't enough to sustain the studio.
With over 60 gold left, Eric put 30 gold in the virtual trading center for sale. Major guilds and studios were buying up gold, so it wouldn't take long to sell and earn more credit points.
Later, Eric began organizing today's spoils in the bank warehouse. Just from the loot dropped by the slain Martial Alliance alone, he had acquired over ten pieces of Bronze Equipment. Initially, he had considered selling them, but since the studio would surely recruit new members in the future, he decided to keep them stored in the warehouse. They might come in handy later, and besides, he wasn't lacking in funds anyway.
As for the most important item from Shadowmoon Graveyard, the Blade of Ashes, Eric stored it in the bank. He couldn't use it yet, but he might find clues about it in Eldoria City.
The Blade of Ashes' owner was highly respected in Divine Realms: Legends, known as the Godslayer Title, a figure that even gods feared. Only in Eldoria Capital could he find clues about the Blade of Ashes.
"What is this?"
Eric pulled out a palm-sized crystal from his backpack.
"Isn't this the item dropped by Leo Ironblade?" Eric recognized it as one of the two items dropped by Leo Ironblade.
Crystal of the Seven Moons, a special item that can teleport to Shadowwing Citadel (uses left: 4/5), drops upon death.
"Leo Ironblade was really something. No wonder he was so powerful in the previous life; he had this," Eric thought, looking at the Crystal of the Seven Moons with a smile.
Shadowwing Citadel was not a simple place, nor was it accessible to players at will. To gain entry, one must possess a teleportation crystal, such as the Crystal of the Seven Moons, which acted as a pass.
In the previous life, Shadowwing Citadel was famous in Divine Realms: Legends. Major forces were willing to pay high prices for passes to Shadowwing Citadel. For ordinary players, visiting Shadowwing Citadel was just for sightseeing, but for the leaders of major forces, it was paradise. They would want to visit again and again.
Eric checked the time and realized today was a big day for Shadowwing Citadel. He had to go. He sent a message to Tonny: "Tonny, I have other matters to attend to, so I can't help you level up. After resting, head to the level 8 area, Roaring Heights, to level up. If you're careful, you'll level up quickly there."
