Chapter 60 NPC?
Looking at Violet Mistflow's nervous appearance, Eric chuckled. "No need, I can afford this. If you indeed sell it to me for five silver, you won't make much profit." Eric waved his hand, and he wasn't in a hurry to recruit Violet Mistflow, but he definitely wouldn't let her go. Being too eager would arouse suspicion, so he decided to build a relationship first.
No one would have thought that one of the top ten divine priests, Violet Mistflow, would look like this.
She was a divine priest, a genuine sixth-tier profession!
Even ten years later, not many people worldwide would reach this level. Even Ephemeral Vanquisher would only be a fifth-tier peak holy spirit by then.
However, as a divine priest, Violet Mistflow was playing a life profession in the early stages of Divine Realms: Legends, which was really a waste of talent.
In Divine Realms: Legends, players without much skill usually made money through other means. However, the most popular secondary professions often had high entry barriers, such as requiring a lot of resources and having very low success rates. Without the support of a guild, it was hard for ordinary life players to persist.
Professions like cooking were much easier to get into. The costs were minimal, and a single player could handle it.If a player had great talent and could make delicious dishes, they could also make a lot of money in Divine Realms: Legends. However, making tasty dishes usually required high-level recipes and ingredients, which were hard to obtain. It wasn't easy for life players to make money.
Eric found it hard to imagine that the future divine priest would be such a clumsy girl. He remembered that Violet Mistflow had been with Devouring Serpents for the first three years. After Ice Goddess left Devouring Serpents, Violet Mistflow also left and became a solo player. Until she became a fourth-tier high priest, countless top guilds offered astonishing prices to recruit her. Devouring Serpents tried numerous times to get her back, but she didn't even look at them.
Violet Mistflow angered those top guilds. Failing to capture her, they resorted to attempting her destruction by dispatching numerous experts to assassinate her.
But instead of destroying her, they made her stronger. She defeated those guilds' players, and soon after, she advanced to a fifth-tier radiant priest, making those top guilds even more helpless.
Eventually, Violet Mistflow became a sixth-tier divine priest. She went after those guilds one by one, making them pay a heavy price to settle the matter. This made her one of the top ten divine priests globally, leaving the high-ups at Devouring Serpents full of regret for not keeping her.
This incident made many guilds mock Devouring Serpents' incompetent leadership. They didn't value capable people and instead used those who sucked up to them, causing them to miss the chance to become a super guild.
However, Eric noticed that Violet Mistflow didn't have a guild emblem now.
Given Violet Mistflow's performance in the previous life, Eric guessed that she must have been noticed by Isbella, who had a significant influence on her. That's why Violet Mistflow left Devouring Serpents after Ice Goddess stopped playing Divine Realms: Legends. Now that Violet Mistflow hadn't met Ice Goddess yet, it was an excellent opportunity for him. Even if Violet Mistflow wasn't impressive now, she had the potential to become a divine priest. As long as Eric nurtured her well, she would indeed become a divine priest in the future.
Hearing Eric's words, Violet Mistflow, not being a fool, stared nervously at Eric, covering her not-so-full chest with her hands and taking a step back.
"Sir, besides selling ice juice, I don't sell anything else. If you regret it now, you can take your money back." Violet Mistflow reluctantly handed back the silver coin she had just received, her eyes still reflecting her hesitation.
In her moment of despair, someone suddenly appeared, saying they wanted a thousand cups of ice juice and were willing to wait thirty hours without lowering the pay. Violet Mistflow didn't believe Eric had any ulterior motives.
Not just Violet Mistflow, even the onlookers didn't believe it. If Eric had no ulterior motives, why would he save her and spend ten silver coins on something no one drank? Seeing Violet Mistflow's wary eyes and actions, Eric glanced at her flat chest and smiled, "You're overthinking it. I have no interest in you. It's just that the ice juice happens to be useful to me, so I bought so much. If you don't want to sell, forget it. I'll find someone else."
With that, Eric let go of Simon Hemdrift and turned to leave.
But Simon Hemdrift wasn't willing to let Eric go. Being pressed down on his knees by Eric in public was a huge humiliation, and Martial Alliance had never been afraid of anyone. Since the guards didn't intervene, he thought it would be easy to kill Eric.
Thinking this, Simon Hemdrift drew his weapon and charged at Eric.
With his sharp senses, Eric naturally knew. Then, he turned around, faced Simon Hemdrift, and drew the Abyssal Blade using Parry.
Simon Hemdrift's greatsword struck Eric's sword, but Simon was knocked back nine feet, and the durability of his greatsword decreased by 2 points. He looked at Eric in shock.
He couldn't understand why Eric's character was so strong. Eric was like a human beast. The onlookers were also shocked. Simon Hemdrift was a Berserker and must have added a lot to his strength. Both he and Eric were level three, so how could there be such a big difference?
What they didn't know was that this was only half of Eric's strength.
After all, Eric gained six free attribute points per level, 1.5 times more than ordinary players, not to mention his full Bronze Equipment and Dark Iron Equipment, as well as the powerful Demonic Weapon. Even with half his strength, Eric surpassed ordinary players by a lot.
If not for the demons suppressing half his strength, with Eric's hidden power skill and the Demonic Weapon's strength, he could have easily destroyed that ordinary greatsword."Damn! I will kill you!" Simon Hemdrift didn't believe Eric was his match. He stood up, raised his greatsword, and looked at Eric.
"What an idiot." Eric couldn't be bothered with Simon Hemdrift anymore and sheathed his Abyssal Blade.
Seeing Eric put away his weapon, Simon Hemdrift thought Eric was scared and begging for mercy. But he wouldn't forgive Eric and added more strength to his swing.
Just as Simon Hemdrift was about to hit Eric, he was suddenly stunned. He turned to curse whoever attacked him, only to see six guards in silver armor standing before him. Without a word, they cuffed him.
"You've violated town laws. Come with us. Any resistance will be met with lethal force." Two guards grabbed Simon Hemdrift and turned to leave.
"Damn it, you've got the wrong person! I'm innocent. He attacked first, so you should arrest him." Simon Hemdrift kept pointing at Eric and shouting about his innocence, but the guards ignored his outbursts and took him away.
Everyone was stunned. Why did the guards come now, and why did they arrest the wrong person? What was going on?
Could Eric be a noble NPC? Only noble NPCs had such authority.
Violet Mistflow was also stunned. She didn't understand why the guards didn't arrest Eric but took Simon Hemdrift instead. Could Eric really be a noble NPC?
Seeing Eric about to leave, Violet Mistflow bit her pink lips and looked at him with deep reluctance. Her small hands tightly gripped the hem of her clothes, but she couldn't bring herself to speak.
It wasn't that Eric was remarkably handsome, but Violet Mistflow desperately needed money. Those ten silver coins were too important to her.
