Chapter 260 Attain membership in the six foremost guilds
FlameDancer stopped and turned to look at Eric, noticing that Eric had taken out quite a few items, each one gleaming and looking far from ordinary.
"These daggers are for you, and this shield is for Cola. Tell him not to let this shield down," Eric said, handing all three items to FlameDancer.
The daggers were the Adamantite daggers, Frostbite Spike, and Blaze Dagger, which Eric had purchased from the Shadowwing Auction House. As the leader of the main team, FlameDancer naturally wouldn't be poorly equipped, and these two daggers were just right for her.
Additionally, there was the Obsidian Level shield Arcane Sentinel. With this shield, Cola could easily become the top Guardian Knight in Silvervale City, unmatched by any other Guardian Knight.
"This..." FlameDancer was completely captivated by the attributes and design of the two daggers.
Although the daggers she currently had were already very good, compared to Frostbite Spike and Blaze Dagger, it was like comparing silver to gold.
FlameDancer immediately equipped the two daggers, one white and one red, which shimmered beautifully at her waist.
"I've already sent those nine people to the designated place. You just need to pick them up and help them level up," Eric said.
"Got it, President," FlameDancer nodded, smiling slightly. She twirled the daggers in her hands, her eyes revealing an eager look, clearly wanting to try out the new weapons.
FlameDancer then left the reception room, and Eric went to the forging room on the fourth floor.
With the new Magic Spirit Crystal in hand, he naturally had to start forging the Arcane Sentinel.
Time passed, and before anyone realized it, the competition among the three major team dungeons in Silvervale City grew increasingly intense.
Among them, Darkstar Guild was leading the charge in the three major team dungeons, finally starting to tackle the last boss of the Eternal Slumber Dungeon. In second place was Devouring Serpents, which had already begun tackling the fourth boss, a speed that surprised many guilds.
"What on earth has Isabella been eating to progress so quickly?" Guardian Knight RogueVortex looked at the latest intel, feeling quite annoyed.
"Don't worry, it took me a good four to five hours to tackle the fourth boss. Even if Isabella's team is faster, it will still take them two to three hours. We'll definitely clear it faster than Isabella," said a burly Ranger next to RogueVortex.
"That's true. This time, we've sent out all our elites, and our combat power is clearly a notch above Isabella's team," RogueVortex agreed, thinking he was being overly sensitive. They were sure to be the first to clear the normal Eternal Slumber Dungeon this time. Although there was no official announcement, the guild's strength comparison would let other guilds know the fearsome power of the Darkstar Guild, solidifying its position.
"President, we just received news that Isabella somehow got her hands on four Arcane Sentinels. With these four shields, the healing pressure was greatly reduced, giving the DPS more time to output, which is why they cleared it so easily."
"Arcane Sentinel? Isn't that the blueprint Black Flame got? How did he make them so quickly?" RogueVortex had been drooling over the Arcane Sentinel design ever since he heard Black Flame got it. If possible, he wanted to buy one too, but contacting Black Flame was too difficult, making it impossible to get an Arcane Sentinel.
Other guilds quickly learned about the Arcane Sentinel as well, and each one was eager to get their hands on it.
The strength of an MT (Main Tank) can almost determine the outcome of a boss fight, and the key factor in an MT's strength is its equipment, especially its shield.
Currently, only a small portion of the main team MTs in major guilds were using Mithril-level shields, but it was still very challenging to tank the bosses of the three major team dungeons. Switching to Adamantite shields would undoubtedly reduce a lot of pressure, instantly lowering the difficulty of the strategy by a level.
Devouring Serpents was the best proof of this.
In today's Eternal Slumber Dungeon competition, Devouring Serpents came from behind and was the first to clear the Common Level Eternal Slumber Dungeon, leaving all the guilds in Silvervale City dumbfounded.
RogueVortex of Darkstar Guild was furious about this. He had prepared for so long to surpass Devouring Serpents, only to be outdone by them.
For a time, all the major guilds in Silvervale City began inquiring, trying to find a way to obtain the Arcane Sentinel from the members of Devouring Serpents. Some guilds even offered hundreds of thousands of credits on the official website to purchase one.
Many players thought these guilds were crazy, spending hundreds of thousands of credits just to buy an Adamantite shield.
But soon, another guild broke this record.
One million credits!
A number that ordinary people could only dream of, and the purpose was to purchase an Arcane Sentinel.
How could this not be shocking?
And this guild was the Darkstar Guild.
Players thought Darkstar Guild was foolishly rich, but Eric, upon seeing this news, sighed at Darkstar Guild's shrewdness. Using a million credits to draw attention to Darkstar Guild—if they actually bought it, it would definitely spark more discussions. This was far more effective than spending money on advertising.
"A million credits, I was almost tempted, but I don't lack credits right now."
It wasn't that Eric didn't want to sell; he just didn't want Darkstar Guild to gain both fame and fortune. However, this also made Eric realize that the major guilds were placing increasing importance on being the first to clear the three major team dungeons.
If Eric had sold the Arcane Sentinel earlier, it definitely wouldn't have fetched such a high price.
It was because Devouring Serpents had performed so well that the major guilds believed having an Arcane Sentinel would make it easy to clear the Common Level of the three major team dungeons and compete for the first clear.
After spending most of the day, Eric finally crafted six Arcane Sentinels and a large number of basic magical Armor Scales of the Ancients. He placed three of the shields in the guild warehouse. Obtaining an Arcane Sentinel was no easy feat; if converted to gold, it would be worth 25 gold each.
This caused a stir in the Guild of Aether Wing, giving many new members greater hope, even though they couldn't get an Arcane Sentinel.
This move also nearly made other guilds in Silvervale City spit blood in anger.
Having such good shields and not giving them to the guild's MTs, but instead putting them on display, was like saying that Arcane Sentinels were nothing special to the Guild of Aether Wing.
Coupled with the fact that the Guild of Aether Wing had already made a splash in Silvervale City, with a current membership exceeding five thousand and eight top experts, it was no longer a second or third-rate guild but a powerful one.
Now, with this new development, all players began to reassess Aether Wing's strength.
What they found was shocking.
Not only did the guild have eight top experts, but it also had Rosewater, a top expert not affiliated with the Ice Goddess. Additionally, there were rumors that the Guild of Aether Wing had the leveling expert Kai Blackthorn. The guild's foundation in Silvervale City was as strong as any of the three top-tier guilds, though they were somewhat lacking in dungeon strategies, but their potential was immense.
Unknowingly, the Guild of Aether Wing had become recognized as one of the six strongest guilds in Silvervale City.
These six strong guilds were Devouring Serpents, Imperial Radiance, Supremacy Alliance, Darkstar Guild, Assassin's Alliance, and Aether Wing. Among them, Devouring Serpents, Imperial Radiance, and Supremacy Alliance were top-tier guilds with strong foundations, and even a portion of their strength was unmatched by other second or third-tier guilds.
Shortly after this recognition, Eric and Isabella traded two more Arcane Sentinels, and Eric put one up for sale at StellarTrails Emporium.
The price was 30 gold, non-negotiable.
30 gold, converted to credits, would be around five to six hundred thousand, but it would take some effort to get it.
Unknowingly, through forging, Eric's level had also reached over seventeen. Although his leveling speed wasn't as fast as Tonny and the others who were constantly grinding higher-level monsters, it was still faster than most others.
"President, they have now reached level fifteen and have cleared several Adversity-level team dungeons. Their gear is pretty good. What should we do next?" FlameDancer said in a voice call.
"Well done. Gather all the main members and meet in half an hour. We're going to tackle the Demonic Citadel," Eric said, slightly surprised. He hadn't expected FlameDancer to be so efficient. He had estimated it would take at least a day, but FlameDancer had completed it in half a day, far exceeding his expectations.
