Chapter 286 Throne of Immortality
Eric didn't expect Blade Shadow to be so generous.
Although the ring Blade Shadow took out was just an ordinary silver band, Eric knew it was valuable.
Because he had seen this ring before, he had even owned one.
The ring was called the Stargate Ring, a storage item.
Despite its Dark Iron quality, it could store a lot of items—up to 200 slots—and it didn't add any weight. But that wasn't the most important feature; the Stargate Ring was most impressive in combat.
In ordinary battles, it might not be necessary, but in duels between experts, battlefield skirmishes, or boss fights, it had a significant role.
For example, when you need to use a magic scroll or an auxiliary item during combat, you usually have to reach into your backpack to find it, wasting a lot of time. But with the Stargate Ring, you just need a thought, and the item inside the ring would instantly appear in your hand.
It was much more convenient than a backpack.
However, Eric shook his head and said, "This is too valuable; I can't accept it."
"Kai Blackthorn, if you don't accept it, I'll feel uncomfortable. I never take advantage of my friends, and this will make me uneasy. Besides, it's just a storage item; it's not that valuable. Please accept it," Blade Shadow said.
"How about this, I need a favor from you, Blade Shadow. What's your reputation in Eldoria City right now?" Eric sighed and asked softly.
Blade Shadow was quite surprised and didn't know why Eric was asking, but he still answered, "I'm 30 points short of becoming a noble in Eldoria City."
As the capital city, Eldoria City's reputation was the hardest to increase. Even though Blade Shadow and his team were already quite powerful, they were still far from becoming nobles.
"30 points?" Eric fell into deep thought, thinking to himself, "That's not a lot. If I complete a few tasks, it should be enough."
"Does the task you need help with require a noble status?" Blade Shadow asked.
Eric nodded.
Only nobles with enough reputation in Eldoria City could purchase small stalls.
And the transfer of stalls could only be done between nobles of Eldoria City; there was no way to exploit loopholes.
However, Eric was a Demonbane, and he received noble treatment wherever he went. So, once Blade Shadow bought the stall, he could transfer it to Eric, allowing him to officially sell items in Eldoria City.
Originally, Eric planned to complete some tasks to increase his Eldoria City reputation, but reaching 100 points was not easy and would take a lot of time. Blade Shadow was trustworthy, and earning 30 points of reputation was much faster than earning 100 points.
Blade Shadow initially felt ashamed for not being able to help Eric, but Eric's next words left him stunned.
"I know a few high-level tasks that can increase your reputation. Once you complete them, you should become a noble."
After saying this, Eric told Blade Shadow about those tasks without any reservation.
"This doesn't feel right," Blade Shadow was almost moved to tears.
He was supposed to help Eric, but it turned out Eric was helping him instead.
Many guilds in Eldoria City had spent a lot of effort and offered huge rewards to find tasks that could increase reputation, but Eric casually mentioned four high-level reputation tasks as if they were easy to come by.
"Are they too difficult to complete?" Eric saw Blade Shadow's troubled expression and suddenly realized, "I also know a few easier ones, but they give less reputation. You might need to complete seven or eight of them to get 30 points."
Blade Shadow was completely bewildered.
Blade Shadow even suspected that Eric might be a GM, knowing so many Eldoria City reputation tasks. But then he thought it couldn't be right; Divine Realms: Legends was controlled by the main System, and no one could interfere. Tasks were automatically generated by the System, and no one could know them in advance.
Of course, there might be an exception, and that would be the mysterious beta testers. However, after the beta testing of Divine Realms: Legends, many settings and tasks were changed, making it impossible for the original tasks to exist.
Thinking of this, Blade Shadow still couldn't figure out who Eric really was, knowing so much.
"Isn't it strange how I know so much?" Eric naturally saw Blade Shadow's doubt.
Blade Shadow silently nodded, not hiding his thoughts.
"Because I'm a reborn, I came back from ten years in the future, so I know these tasks," Eric said truthfully.
"Kai Blackthorn, you really know how to joke," Blade Shadow laughed, "I'll complete these tasks quickly, and once I become a noble, I'll contact you immediately."
Blade Shadow understood well that everyone has their secrets. Such reputation tasks were a guild's secret. The fact that Eric was willing to share them showed great trust. It would be inappropriate to dig deeper.
"I'm telling the truth," Eric said with a bitter smile.
"I know," Blade Shadow nodded with a knowing smile.
Eric had nothing more to say.
Although Eric had long been used to this, he still felt helpless every time he encountered it.
Why does no one believe the truth?
People only believe him when he lies. This world had become incomprehensible to him.
Afterward, Blade Shadow added Eric as a friend and went off to complete the tasks.
Through Blade Shadow, Eric learned about the situation in Eldoria City and then took a carriage to the Crystal Palace to continue his Legend Level main quest.
The Crystal Palace in Eldoria City stood next to the royal palace, towering and magnificent like a pyramid. At its top, a house-sized sunstone emitted a holy light, illuminating the entire Crystal Palace day and night, making anyone who saw it feel a sense of awe.
As the headquarters of the Crystal Palace, the hall was guarded by third-tier NPCs everywhere. The strict security meant that even a fifth-tier profession like a Shadow Saint couldn't sneak in.
Although this wasn't Eric's first visit to the temple, it was his first time reaching the ninth floor of the Crystal Palace.
Throne of Immortality!
The Sentinel of Honor who led Eric in was a fourth-tier professional. Such an NPC would be a dominant figure in other cities, but here, he was just a guide.
Entering the Throne of Immortality, Eric saw a Purple Throne and nine Golden Thrones floating in the center like a sun, surrounded by fifty Silver Thrones. Except for the Purple Throne, which was empty, each throne was occupied by a person, all of whom were peak powerhouses in Divine Realms: Legends. Their mere presence could shake the entire game, but only one of them was physically present; the others were projections.
These peak powerhouses just sat there, quietly watching Eric, making him feel an overwhelming sense of powerlessness. Cold sweat ran down his back, and his whole body felt incredibly heavy.
This was the pressure and aura of peak powerhouses, far beyond what a fourth-tier profession could compare to.
"Truly one of the strongest forces in Divine Realms: Legends, having so many peak powerhouses," Eric thought, even after playing Divine Realms: Legends for ten years, it was his first time seeing the true strength of the Crystal Palace.
"An interesting young man, but I don't believe this little guy can complete that task. It's about the fate of the entire continent."
"In that case, let's test this little guy. If he passes, I don't think anyone will have any objections."
"A test? I like that. Let's do it this way. If he passes, I'll vote in favor. If he doesn't, well, he'll be dead, so no punishment will be needed."
"What kind of test should we use?"
"Isn't it obvious? We should initiate the Twelve Trials."
"The Twelve Trials? I thought it was just a legend. The last time it was initiated was nine hundred years ago. I never thought I'd see it in my lifetime. Thanks to you, little guy. I hope you can last a few rounds and let this old man witness it."
