Chapter 284 The King of Strategy
Eldoria City, as the royal city of Eldoria, hides a gruesome reality beneath its bustling surface, with bones scattered everywhere.
As soon as Eric entered, he was hit by an overwhelming stench of blood.
Walking down the vibrant streets of Eldoria City, Eric noticed that there were no members from small guilds in sight. Even the weakest guilds were at least third-rate. As for the smaller guilds, Eric could easily guess their fate.
They must have been cleared out by these larger guilds.
Additionally, the players here were generally of a higher level, and their equipment was better than that of players in Silvervale City.
Bronze Equipment, which was rare among ordinary players, was common here. Many independent players even had Dark Iron Level Equipment, clearly surpassing the level of Silvervale City.
Players wearing guild insignias were even better equipped, with most of their gear being Dark Iron Level. Some elite members were fully decked out in Dark Iron Equipment.
However, compared to Eric, these players were still far behind.
This time, Eric came to Eldoria City without his Black Flame persona, using his real identity as Kai Blackthorn. Therefore, he didn't hide his equipment.
Although Eric had concealed the glow effects of his Obsidian Level gear, the exquisite and stylish appearance of the Obsidian Level equipment, along with the Abyssal Blade and Sword of Daemonbane at his waist, clearly indicated they were not Common Level equipment. This drew several glances from passing players.
Eric walked down the street like a celebrity, making it hard to stay low-key.
But Eric didn't seem to care about the attention and went about his business as usual.
Upon arriving in a city, Eric habitually visited the auction house first to understand the local market prices.
Eldoria City, as the royal city, was the central hub of Eldoria. Trade from the four major regions—east, south, west, and north—passed through here. At its peak in the previous era, Eldoria City accounted for a quarter of Eldoria's daily trade volume, indicating the massive scale of its transactions.
If one could control Eldoria City, the daily tax revenue alone would be staggering. Compared to Eric's current daily net profit of sixteen or seventeen hundred gold through StellarTrails Emporium, his income was insignificant.
With such a large volume of trade, it would be a lie to say Eric wasn't tempted.
The Guild of Aether Wing had just gotten on track, and it was still too early to establish a foothold in Eldoria City.
For now, he was just doing some preliminary reconnaissance to prepare for entering Eldoria City's market in the future.
The auction house in Eldoria City was the largest in Eldoria. Items consigned here could be seen and purchased by players from dozens of surrounding cities, making it far superior to Silvervale City.
Moreover, as the royal city, players from other countries or those from this country wanting to travel abroad had to pass through here, making it a transit hub. This meant that players from other countries often consigned their items at the Eldoria auction house, resulting in a wide variety of goods that other auction houses in Eldoria couldn't match.
This was why many people preferred to buy or consign items here.
The auction house was crowded with players. Eric found a quiet spot to sit down, pulled up the auction listings, and began browsing.
"Blade Shadow, look at that guy's gear. It's amazing! My Eagle Eye skill can read any equipment below Adamantite, but I can't read several pieces of his gear," a lean Ranger said excitedly, drooling over Eric's equipment.
"What? Unable to read? Could it all be Obsidian Level gear? Thunder Roar, your skill must be malfunctioning. Even the leaders of Devouring Serpents and Stellar Alliance don't have that much Obsidian Level gear, let alone a player from an unknown guild," joked Blade Shadow, a burly Berserker.
"Blade Shadow, you know my skill is a high-level one I got from a unique quest. When has it ever malfunctioned?" Thunder Roar, the Ranger, replied seriously.
Blade Shadow nodded, his expression becoming serious as he looked at Eric sitting on the stone bench, realizing he didn't recognize him.
"Kai Blackthorn?"
"He's not a top player from Eldoria City; he must be from another city."
Using his observation skills, Blade Shadow quickly determined that Eric wasn't a local player.
He had a bit of a reputation in Eldoria City and had met many people, especially the top players. He knew most of them by name, but there was no top player named Kai Blackthorn in Eldoria City.
"But the name Kai Blackthorn sounds familiar," Blade Shadow mused. Seeing Eric with such high-quality gear and recognizing the name, he became more convinced of Thunder Roar's words. After all, an unknown player couldn't possibly have such good equipment. He opened the official forum to search for information on Kai Blackthorn. "I think I heard this name on the official forum. Let's see if I can find anything."
At this moment, Thunder Roar used his Eagle Eye skill again to check the guild insignia on Eric's chest, and his expression turned from shock to excitement.
"Thunder Roar, what's up?" Blade Shadow asked curiously. It was the first time he had seen Thunder Roar with such an expression. Even when they saw WildernessOverlord, he wasn't this shocked or excited.
"Blade Shadow, he's from the Guild of Aether Wing," Thunder Roar said excitedly.
"Guild of Aether Wing? What are they doing here?" Blade Shadow asked in surprise.
The name Guild of Aether Wing was known throughout Eldoria.
It was the first powerful guild in Eldoria to have a guild residence, and it had many top players. Even the highest-level player in Eldoria was a member of the Guild of Aether Wing. The guild was very mysterious and had equipment provided by Eldoria's top Blacksmith, Black Flame.
Many people wanted to join the Guild of Aether Wing, but unfortunately, the guild only recruited players in Silvervale City, leaving players from other cities without a chance to join.
At this moment, Blade Shadow found information about the ID Kai Blackthorn on the official forum.
Besides the classic city guide for Silvervale City, there were also some battle videos. One of the most famous videos, where a single person killed over a hundred members of the Martial Alliance, was still in the top thirty of the video hit list. The video, which was a tutorial by the god-level Swordsman, had yet to be surpassed.
"So he's the god-level expert Kai Blackthorn," Blade Shadow said, shocked to encounter such a top player here.
While Blade Shadow and Thunder Roar were watching Eric, Eric, with his extraordinary senses, had already noticed them.
Their intense aura and sharp gazes made it hard for Eric not to notice them.
"I was wondering who it was. Turns out it's Thunder Roar and Blade Shadow," Eric glanced at them and smiled faintly. He had long heard of their names.
They were not only famous in Divine Realms: Legends but also known as a renowned solo squad called Cloudpiercer Squad before playing Divine Realms: Legends. They had a reputation in the gaming world and shone even brighter after entering Divine Realms: Legends, forming a team that cleared dungeons that even top guilds' main teams found challenging.
Their leader, Thunder Roar, was humorously dubbed the King of Raids.
"Thunder Roar, this is a rare opportunity. Why don't we go over and introduce ourselves? We might even become friends," Blade Shadow suggested, looking at Thunder Roar.
