Chapter 76 Fame in the Region
Eric took out all the Martial Alliance members, thus forming a deep enmity with them, but he didn't regret doing it.
Even if he had turned away, the Martial Alliance wouldn't have let him go. It was wise to diminish their strength now, making it more favorable for him the next time they crossed paths.
Seeing the equipment that had fallen to the ground, Eric ignored the shock and curiosity of the crowd, walked over, and picked up the gear. These items could somewhat compensate for the loss of his bounty money.
"Isn't this the Blade of the Knight's Honor?" Eric found that here were actually two pieces of bronze equipment among the equipment. One of them was Leo Ironblade's Bronze Level Weapon. Leo Ironblade was probably fuming in his grave.
The Blade of the Knight's Honor was indeed a good weapon among level 4 Bronze Equipment. In Divine Realms: Legends, weapons and MT gear were more expensive than other equipment of the same level. The Blade of the Knight's Honor was worth at least ten silver coins, plus another level 3 Bronze Level cloth armor and a few pieces of Common Level equipment.
Eric realized that he hadn't lost anything; in fact, he had gained some silver coins.
As Eric was about to depart, the players on the street cast covetous glances at him. Being able to easily take down the expert Leo Ironblade and instantly kill several elite players, it was hard to believe that he didn't have top-tier equipment. Moreover, Eric was now a red-name player.
If a red-name player was killed, the death penalty would be doubled. Since Eric had killed so many players, if he died, he would drop at least three or four pieces of equipment. Even if they were confined by the guards for a while, how could it compare to top-tier equipment?
For a novice player to grow into an expert, good equipment was essential. Killing Eric would provide the chance to become an expert. Why wouldn't the players take that chance? Who would want to remain ordinary?
"So, you guys want to mess with me too?" Eric glanced around, sneering. It had been a long time since he felt like he was deep in enemy territory.
The crowd, intimidated by Eric's cold gaze, all stepped back. No one dared to make the first move; they were all waiting for someone else to act first to seize the most significant benefit.
"Everyone, back off. Kai Blackthorn is a friend of our Assassin Alliance. Anyone who messes with him is messing with us."
At this moment, Thornheart led over ten subordinates through the crowd, walking towards Eric.
The players who intended to kill Eric were taken aback upon hearing Thornheart's words.
Who exactly was this Eric? Not only was he powerful, but he also had the Assassin Alliance backing him up.
The Assassin Alliance was well-known in Willowbrook Town, the only second-tier guild in Willowbrook Town, with members spread throughout Eldoria. However, the main force of the Assassin Alliance was in the Silvervale City area, far beyond what other guilds could compare to.
To be enemies with the Assassin Alliance meant having to delete their characters and start over, as the Assassin Alliance was famous for assassinations. Just the thought of being constantly targeted by a bunch of Assassins made players shudder.
With the intervention of the Assassin Alliance, the players naturally abandoned their plans to target Eric.Since they couldn't gain any advantage, the crowd dispersed.
"Thank you," Eric said, looking at Thornheart.
"No need. With Kai Blackthorn's strength, even if I hadn't come, they wouldn't have been able to do anything to you. I was just going with the flow," Thornheart said respectfully, "Today, Kai Blackthorn really opened my eyes. Even I find it difficult to kill Leo Ironblade, but you took him down so easily."
"Just luck," Eric replied with a calm smile.
"Kai Blackthorn, you're really modest. But there's one thing I don't understand. Why didn't the guards bother you when you killed players in the safe zone?" Thornheart had a hunch but didn't think Eric could achieve it so quickly.
"It's nothing. I just completed a quest and became a noble of Willowbrook Town, so I have this privilege," Eric didn't hide it. He knew he couldn't keep it a secret, so he revealed part of the truth. As for the secret of Demonbane, he decided to keep it hidden to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Thornheart heard that, and his heart skipped a beat. He looked at Eric in disbelief.
Just to gain a reputation in Willowbrook Town, they had spent so much effort and only earned 10 points of reputation. Even the president of the top-tier guild Galaxy Federation, Zephyr Heartwood, was only a first-level citizen, still far from being a noble. Yet Kai Blackthorn was already a noble. The gap was huge!
Thornheart had already highly estimated Eric's strength, but he still underestimated him. In Thornheart's memory, he knew almost all the top swordsmanship experts, but Eric didn't resemble any of them.
However, the world was big, and there were always some hidden top experts. With the growing influence of Divine Realms: Legends, it wasn't surprising that these experts were entering the game.
No wonder the Ice Goddess was so friendly to Eric. He was probably a very famous hidden expert that Thornheart didn't know about.
Building a good relationship with such a hidden expert early would greatly benefit the guild's future development. Thinking of this, Thornheart smiled slightly, feeling lucky to have discovered such a top expert like Eric early on.
Eric didn't know why Thornheart suddenly smiled. He looked around at the guilds collecting game coins and suddenly asked, "Thornheart, do you know what's going on? Why are so many guilds collecting game coins?"
"Don't you know?" Thornheart was taken aback, looking at Eric in surprise. This matter was already well-known in the Silvervale City area. How could Eric not know?
Eric shook his head and said, "I was doing a quest before and just came back."
"I see. This matter happened not long ago," Thornheart explained, "Recently, an auction house listed a design for the Glowing Chestplate. You know how good the attributes of the Glowing Chestplate are. The value of obtaining this design is self-evident. Once the guilds found out, they all started competing for it, including our guild."
"Unfortunately, our guild's resources were a bit lacking, and the top-tier guild Galaxy Federation bought it for two gold and 33 silver coins. We had given up, but soon after, another Glowing Chestplate design appeared. This caused an uproar, and all the guilds started frantically collecting funds to buy it."
"After the next round of competition, it was sold for two gold and 51 silver coins. As numerous guilds were left disappointed, no one anticipated the emergence of a third design. The competition for the third one is still ongoing, and I predict the price will be even higher. No one knows how many more there will be, so I'm here to collect game coins." "Everyone suspects that the Black Flame Blacksmith is selling them. After all, Bronze Equipment designs aren't cheap, let alone the same design. Plus, the Glowing Chestplate was previously sold by the Black Flame Blacksmith. Everyone understands that these designs are being anonymously sold by the Black Flame Blacksmith."
"You have to admire the Black Flame Blacksmith's tactics. Competing with Hammer Trader to lower the price of the Glowing Chestplate wasn't just a momentary fight but a strategy for these designs. Hammer Trader has gone mad, vowing to fight the Black Flame Blacksmith to the end, but no one pays attention to him anymore."
"Many people want to contact the Black Flame Blacksmith, but we can't reach him. Even the Ice Goddess Isbella from Devouring Serpents posted on the forum, asking the Black Flame Blacksmith to contact her to discuss cooperation. She said he could name his price, which made the Black Flame Blacksmith famous. Now, not only in the Silvervale City area but also throughout Eldoria, people are talking about him. Players consider him the number one blacksmith in Eldoria."
As Thornheart spoke, he couldn't help but admire the Black Flame Blacksmith."I see. Thornheart, are you interested in buying a forging design?" Eric asked casually, now understanding the situation.
