Chapter 247 Dominating the Leaderboard
Although they felt that Eric made sense, their disappointment did not diminish.
However, among these people, only Rosewater truly ignited a fighting spirit.
Because only Rosewater understood Eric's true meaning.
Strength comes from oneself, not from relying on others.
The best proof was Eric right in front of them. Despite the guild being so weak, he had accomplished many things that even top-tier and super guilds couldn't, making everyone believe that there was a mysterious powerful force backing him.
But what was the truth?
Eric had created miracles all by himself.
He had even dominated at the Shadowwing Auction House, causing a sensation.
Since Eric could do it, why couldn't she? The thought of relying on the mysterious force behind Eric to prove herself really made Rosewater want to laugh.
"Black Flame is right. The strength of a guild doesn't matter; personal strength is the key. Since we've joined Aether Wing, it's up to us to change how others think of Aether Wing," Rosewater loudly explained, fully agreeing with Eric's perspective.
Everyone fell silent, but their eyes were filled with burning determination.
They were starting from scratch anyway, so what was there to worry about with someone as financially powerful as Eric supporting them?
The development of a guild is all about financial power, and the rest depends on experts leading the way, conquering one team dungeon after another, completing one impossible Epic Level quest after another.
They would definitely make Aether Wing the number one guild in Silvervale City.
At this moment, Eric sent a message to FlameDancer and the others.
"Let's begin."
Eric soon received a reply.
"Got it."
After seeing this message, Eric shifted his gaze back to everyone present and loudly announced, "I know you still have concerns, so let me bring you some surprises to help you further understand what the Guild of Aether Wing is all about."
"Further understand Aether Wing? Does this guild have some secret?"
Everyone was puzzled. This guild seemed straightforward enough; what secret could there be? The only secret might be its astonishing financial power. The various guild benefits were easy to obtain, and Black Flame was recognized as Eldoria's top Blacksmith, so the guild wouldn't lack weapons and equipment in the future. But that didn't really count as a secret, did it?
"Everyone, take a look at the Silvervale City Honor Board," Eric said softly.
"The Honor Board?"
Everyone quickly opened the Honor Board.
"Is there something wrong with the Honor Board? I remember the top player in Silvervale City was RogueVortex at level 15. How did it become level 19? Could it be a System error?"
"No, look, the IDs are different."
"It might not be a System error. The top eight have all changed. The eighth place is level 18, and the ninth place is RogueVortex at level 15. How is this possible?"
"Level 18? That's outrageous. The highest level in Storm Empire is only 16. How could there be more than eight people in Silvervale City with levels higher than the top player in Storm Empire?"
"Look, all these people are from the same guild. The guild's name is... Aether Wing!"
Seeing the changes on the Honor Board, everyone was stunned, unable to believe what they saw. They trembled all over; these eight people were actually their guild members.
However, everyone was also full of questions.
With such powerful experts in the guild, why had the Guild of Aether Wing remained so obscure? It was simply incomprehensible.
"Is this the strength of Aether Wing?" Rosewater was now re-evaluating Eric and this guild.
Although Aether Wing was small, it was full of experts.
Aether Wing now had all the foundations to become a major guild: financial resources, manpower, and now, reputation.
As long as the guild benefits were well-managed, it could quickly become a major guild in a short time. No wonder Eric seemed so confident.
However, compared to the shock of Rosewater and the others, the entire Silvervale City had gone crazy.
RogueVortex, who had always dominated the top spot on the Honor Board, was suddenly overtaken, not by one person, but by a group. It was as if RogueVortex's previous glory was insignificant, as if these people had been letting RogueVortex, the small player, have his moment, but now they were done with that.
How else could you explain these people suddenly shooting up the Honor Board and taking the top eight spots? The only explanation was that they had been hiding their levels all along.
"These people are monsters, they're too strong!"
"Damn, the first place is level 19, and the eighth place is level 18. I've been grinding so hard and I'm only level 13. How is this fair?"
"Your Highness, please take me under your wing."
"What is this Guild of Aether Wing? It's too powerful. Is some major force planning to move into Silvervale City?"
Players across Silvercrest Dominion were thrilled. The top eight spots on the Honor Board were all taken by one guild, which showed just how powerful this guild was. Even Silvervale City's top guild, Devouring Serpents, had never been this strong.
Many independent players began to asking around about what kind of guild Aether Wing was.
Some even went directly to the official forums to ask how to join the Guild of Aether Wing.
With such leveling experts, joining the guild would surely mean rapid level-ups.
Suddenly, Aether Wing became the hottest topic in Silvervale City, with many expressing their desire to join such a guild.
While independent players were celebrating, the major guilds in Silvervale City were frowning, studying this suddenly emerging new guild and the eight people on the Honor Board.
However, the information they got was that the Guild of Aether Wing was incredibly mysterious. They couldn't even find out who the guild leader was.
The only thing they knew was that FlameDancer had once been the top player on Silvervale City's Honor Board, and several others had also been in the top ten. These people had one thing in common.
They had all vanished for a while.
Everyone had thought they had faded away, surpassed by newcomers.
But reality told them that these people had never faded away; they had just hidden themselves, not wanting to be discovered.
"Can someone tell me what the hell is going on?" RogueVortex roared at the Honor Board, "Where did these guys come from?"
For the proud and arrogant RogueVortex, nothing could be more humiliating than this. His glory was now worthless, and he had become a laughingstock.
"Sir, I've investigated. All these people are connected to Kai Blackthorn, and I also checked the Adventurers' Guild about the Guild of Aether Wing. It was registered recently. It's likely that Kai Blackthorn is behind it," a Ranger reported.
"Good, very good. I just put a bounty on Kai Blackthorn not long ago. I thought he would have the sense to hide in a rat hole. Since he's come out to slap me in the face and even dared to start a guild in Silvervale City, completely disregarding me, I'll make him regret it. Find out all the members of this guild immediately. I want to destroy his guild right now!" RogueVortex roared as he issued the guild command. He was determined to destroy this guild and crush Eric, not just for himself but also to carry out the orders of a certain powerful figure.
