Chapter 219 Foundation
Hearing that he only need to find StellarTrails Emporium made Eric slightly surprised.
After all, this was the second part of an Epic Level quest, and instead of sending him on some dangerous mission, it just required him to find someone. Eric found it unbelievable.
'Could it be that it's because of the money I spent?' Eric couldn't help but think.
Actually, it wasn't impossible when he thought about it.
Nowadays, a top-tier guild would be lucky to have six or seven gold coins in liquid assets per day. To gather fifty gold coins, even with the full support of the top-tier guild Phantom Temple, Ephemeral Vanquisher couldn't possibly spend fifty gold coins so freely. Fifty gold coins could significantly boost a large guild.
Eric made money by selling sturdy stones, which guaranteed him an income of over a hundred gold coins per day. That was why he could afford to spend fifty gold coins on information.
According to the equivalent exchange principle of the main god System, the possibility of lowering the difficulty was very high.
Eric wasn't short of gold coins now, as his daily income of over a hundred gold coins was almost equal to the total liquid assets of all the well-known guilds in Silvervale City. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was the richest with the Silvervale City.
If spending money could lower the difficulty, Eric could be more than satisfied with that.
Had he known this earlier, he would have waited a few more days to accumulate five or six hundred gold coins. Maybe then he could go to Abyssal Grotto to complete the quest immediately, saving a lot of trouble and time.
"Thank you, esteemed Sharon," Eric said respectfully as he took the contract.
"I have high hopes for you. Don't make me wait too long, because the longer it takes, the stronger the demons will become. By then, I might not be able to handle them, and you might end up living as a zombie," Sharon warned seriously.
System: [Accepted the second part of the Epic Level quest 'Descent of Darkness: Gospel Initiative.' Quest content: Go find Mr. Spencer at StellarTrails Emporium to understand the situation. Reward unknown.]
Although Eric didn't know the specific content of the quest, he felt it wasn't as simple as it seemed, because it only required him to find Henry Spencer to understand the situation, not to go directly to Abyssal Grotto.
StellarTrails Emporium was very famous throughout Silvervale City as its business extended not only in Silvervale City but also in seven surrounding cities, making it a truly large trading company.
With such a wide business scope, they were bound to know a lot of information.
No wonder Sharon wanted him to find Henry Spencer.
Eric then bid farewell to Sharon and quickly left. Otherwise, he worried the twenty-some gold coins in his pocket would probably end up in Sharon's pocket.
After leaving the library, Eric hailed a carriage on the street and headed to StellarTrails Emporium.
As he rode through the wide streets, he saw new players entering the city. Over time, Silvervale City had become more lively, and in a few days, the streets would probably be packed with people.
Ten minutes later, the carriage stopped in front of StellarTrails Emporium's shop.
The shop was very luxurious, with six floors, making it one of the tallest buildings around. It was extremely eye-catching and located in a prime spot in the trade district, right next to Silvervale City's bank and not far from the auction house.
In this prime real estate area, there were only eight shops, three of which had the largest floor areas, each equivalent to two or three regular shops. StellarTrails Emporium had similar prime locations in the other seven cities, showing how strong its foundation was.
In the early stages of Divine Realms: Legends, many top-tier guilds had tried to establish business relationships with StellarTrails Emporium, but they couldn't even catch a glimpse of Mr. Spencer. Now, through this quest, Eric had the chance to meet Mr. Spencer, putting him far ahead of other top-tier guilds.
Eric couldn't help but exclaimed that Epic Level quests were truly impressive. Although the cost of failing such a quest was terrifying—essentially requiring players to delete their characters and start over—the benefits of completing it were unimaginable.
For instance, when Eric completed the first part of Descent of Darkness, he received the Demonbane title and the Demon Mask. These two items had been incredibly helpful to him during this period.
'I wonder what reward I'll get for completing this part of the quest,' Eric thought with some anticipation.
At that moment, he also understood why Phantom Temple was going all out to help Ephemeral Vanquisher as the rewards were astonishing. Just a solo player like him could gain such benefits, let alone a guild.
That was why, in the previous life in Shadowdrake Dominion, Phantom Temple stood out early on, overshadowing other top-tier guilds. Unfortunately, in this life, Phantom Temple was just ordinary, with nothing remarkable about it—unless Ephemeral Vanquisher could encounter another Epic Level quest, but the chances of that were quite low.
Eric had played Divine Realms: Legends for over ten years and had only ever received one Epic Level quest, and that was by chance at level 150, clearing showing how rare Epic Level quests were.
Just then, Eric suddenly received a System announcement.
Silvercrest Dominion System Announcement: [Congratulations to Devouring Serpents for being the first team to conquer the Adversity-level Crystal Enclave. All team members are awarded 50,000 experience points and 1 silver coin.]
Silvercrest Dominion System Announcement: [Congratulations to Devouring Serpents for being the fastest team to clear the Adversity-level Crystal Enclave. All team members are awarded 50,000 experience points and a Tier 1 random attribute gem.]
This System announcement undoubtedly caused another uproar among the players on the street.
The free players who could make it to Silvervale City were all quite skilled. Many of them were unwilling to join small guilds and aimed to join top-tier guilds.
Reputation alone wasn't enough to judge a guild's strength. Every new virtual game represented a reshuffling of the deck, and there were always a few unknown guilds that rose to become the game's overlords, while some old guilds faded into obscurity. Therefore, the progress in team dungeons became a crucial indicator.
This made System announcements extremely important for guilds, as they served as a key reference for free players.
Seeing the announcements, players who had previously planned to join Assassin's Alliance were now changing their minds, wanting to join Devouring Serpents instead. Devouring Serpents was not only a top-tier guild but had also previously cleared an Infernal-tier Dungeon. In terms of financial power, influence, and strength, Devouring Serpents far outstripped Assassin's Alliance.
'That's just like Isabella. I just helped Assassin's Alliance get the first clear of a twenty-man team dungeon, and she immediately got one too. If she hadn't suddenly stopped playing Divine Realms: Legends, Devouring Serpents would probably have been a super guild in the previous life,' Eric thought to himself.
If he could recruit Isabella into the guild he was building, it would be fantastic. Add to that the divine priest Violet Mistflow, the Guardian Knight Tyrant Bear Cola, and the skilled FlameDancer, along with his rebirth experience, and there would be no worry about the future guild becoming a top-tier or even super guild.
Thinking about this, Eric realized that the team's strength still needed improvement. Having a few top-tier experts wasn't enough; they also needed a strong core. It would be better to recruit some potential famous and powerful experts who were currently unknown.
However, his newly established guild lacked a strong foundation and reputation. Those experts probably wouldn't even consider it.
So, the most urgent thing for Eric now was to immediately establish a guild with a strong foundation and limitless potential for the future. Only then could he attract those currently unknown experts.
