Chapter 321 The NPC Army
After Kyle became Eric's direct guard, he opened the crystal vial and drank the Water for Life in one gulp.
Rosewater watched as Kyle drank the life potion worth three hundred gold in one go. Although she was relatively wealthy, she couldn't help but show a pained expression.
The other members of the guild also swallowed hard.
Three hundred gold!
That amount could fully equip a twenty-person team with Mithril Level gear, yet it was given to an unremarkable, disabled NPC. Everyone couldn't help but feel envious.
Eric didn't care what everyone thought.
Back in the day, DrunkDawn was famous worldwide because of Kyle, his direct guard. Countless top-tier and even super guilds offered astronomical prices to buy Kyle, but DrunkDawn never sold him.
Spending three hundred gold to buy a future Tier 5 titled Sword Saint—was there a better deal than this?
Not long after Kyle drank the Water for Life, his body began to emit a bright green light. This light was the Light of Life, which not only had terrifying healing power but also the effect of removing all abnormal statuses.
Black smoke was expelled from Kyle's body, and soon his previously pale face became rosy. His severed arm also began to regenerate at a visible speed.
In just one minute, Kyle was fully recovered.
"President, he..." Rosewater couldn't believe her eyes. She had long trained her keen intuition and immediately noticed the difference in Kyle.
Although Kyle's clothes were still tattered, he gave off a completely new feeling. He was like a lion trapped in a cage, now breaking free and roaring to prove to everyone that he was back.
"This is the real him," Eric said with a smile.
In the previous life, DrunkDawn had gone to great lengths for Kyle, spending countless time, effort, and resources to finally obtain a drop of Water for Life to restore Kyle.
But in this life, Eric had easily achieved it, and Kyle was only at level 30.
In the previous life, DrunkDawn had only obtained the Water for Life when Kyle was over level 100.
The same growth potential, starting from level 30 versus level 100, made a huge difference.
"Indeed, his potential is amazing," Eric said happily as he looked at Kyle's attributes again.
Kyle, direct guard of Kai Blackthorn, male, age 39, loyalty 90, charm 75, constitution 95, wisdom 88, level 30, profession Tier 1 Swordsman.
Growth potential: 94.
Strength 348, agility 364, endurance 420, spirit 280, intelligence 276.
Health 15400, attack power 830-960, defense 4500.
Compared to his previous attributes, the difference was like night and day.
"Indeed, drinking the Water for Life earlier affects growth potential," Eric knew that in the previous life, Kyle's growth potential was 92. Now it was 2 points higher. The higher the potential value, the harder it was to increase. After 90 points, even a 1-point increase made a significant difference in attributes, let alone 2 points. This would greatly benefit Kyle's future growth.
"Kyle, take these pieces of equipment for now," Eric said, taking out some level 20 Dark Iron Weapon equipment from his backpack. Although it was a bit shabby for level 30 Kyle, it was all he could offer. After all, the Guild of Aether Wing had not yet started raiding team dungeons, only five-person dungeons.
Once Kyle put on the level 20 Dark Iron Equipment, he immediately looked impressive. His attributes improved significantly, with his health breaking 18000, base attack power exceeding 1400, and defense reaching 6000. His defense was much higher than the main MT Cola, making him a humanoid boss.
"Let's go recruit some more people," Eric said, leading the group to the Mercenary Alliance.
The Mercenary Alliance was the best place to recruit ordinary guards. These mercenaries were well-trained and much more reliable than randomly recruited people from the streets.
Ordinary guards and direct guards were different. Ordinary guards required payment, and the price varied based on their strength. At Eric's level, he could recruit up to level 50 Tier 1 NPC guards.
Ordinary level 50 guards cost 5 silver coins per day, with payment settled every ten days.
Level 50 Tier 1 guards cost 30 silver coins per day, with payment settled every ten days.
The difference between ordinary guards and Tier 1 guards was like the difference between ordinary monsters and elite monsters, so Tier 1 guards were six times more expensive. Some particularly powerful ones cost even more.
At the Mercenary Alliance, Eric didn't hesitate and directly signed contracts with 48 level 50 Tier 1 NPCs. Among them were melee, ranged, and healers. Six of them were particularly powerful, considered high-level Tier 1, and cost 50 silver coins per day. Eric recruited them as well and prepaid a month's fees, totaling 468 gold.
This financial power made all the guilds in Silvervale City look up in awe.
With 48 level 50 Tier 1 guards, Eric and his group walked down the street with great pride and might. Many players instinctively stepped aside, not daring to block their path.
"Wow, so many Tier 1 NPCs. What's happening in Silvervale City?"
"Wait, some of them aren't NPCs, they're players!"
"Aren't those Guild of Aether Wing members? Where are they going?"
Players on the street quickly noticed the situation. A group of NPCs was moving with the Guild of Aether Wing, and they were all level 50 Tier 1. With such an NPC army, who in Silvervale City would dare oppose the Guild of Aether Wing?
Even the Darkstar Guild, with its thousands of members, was no match for so many level 50 Tier 1 NPCs. The level suppression alone would make it impossible for players to deal with these NPCs, not to mention the powerful skills these Tier 1 NPCs possessed.
"This is so cool. The Guild of Aether Wing is amazing!"
"I heard the Guild of Aether Wing is recruiting in three days. I have to give it a try."
More and more players gathered on the street, many of them recording this spectacular scene. A nearly 50-person NPC army was more imposing than a thousand troops.
This show of strength was comparable to the starting towns of players.
Although no one knew the exact relationship between the NPC army and the Guild of Aether Wing, the ability to mobilize so many NPCs was impressive enough.
This event quickly caused a sensation on the official forums, pushing the Guild of Aether Wing's reputation to new heights.
However, the sight of the Aether Wing leading an NPC army made the members of the Darkstar Guild extremely uneasy. They feared the Aether Wing might lead this NPC army to attack them. Many of them either hid in cities and towns or removed their guild emblems to quietly grind.
Meanwhile, the members of the Supremacy Alliance were also on edge, not daring to venture into the Wilderness to level up.
