Chapter 108 No Ice King or Dogs Allowed
Hearing Alan's words, t he burly man in animal skin appeared somewhat displeased.
"Ice King, we don't have any gods here, so naturally, no one can bless you."
Alan wasn't in a hurry. If he could get the scroll with just a few words, that would be strange.
"No problem. Since I'm here, is there anything you need help with? If there is, I'll do my best to assist."
The burly man seemed moved by Alan's offer.He thought for a moment before saying, "We need to get out of our current predicament and have our own territory, instead of hiding in this forest."
"You want to establish a territory?"
Alan was a bit surprised.
The burly man in animal skin nodded. "A regular territory won't do. We need a high-level territory, preferably one that can conquer a city."
Alan smirked. "I really can't meet that demand. After all, my power isn't enough to conquer a city."
The burly man in animal skin sighed helplessly.
He seemed to have anticipated Alan's answer.
"What about the Heart of the Lord?" he asked.
"I should be able to get it, but it'll take some time." Alan replied.
"Alright." The burly man in animal skin nodded. "Once you bring the Heart of the Lord, I'll give you an unexpected reward."
If a Heart of the Lord could be exchanged for the prerequisite quest scroll for divine blessings, it would be a good deal for Alan.
Leaving from there Alan began to plan how to obtain the Heart of the Lord.
He knew a bit about how to get the Heart of the Lord, but it wasn't common in Stellaria.
In the previous life, few people in Stellaria had obtained the Heart of the Lord and established a territory.
But there were some.
Like SnowflakeChaser!
Alan always found SnowflakeChaser's luck to be absurd.
Luck was a hidden attribute, and no one knew their exact value.
It was believed to influence real-life events.
In his previous life, Alan's parents had died, his sister had passed away, and he was just an ordinary person with very low luck.
According to later analyses, many probability issues in the game were related to the luck attribute.
There was also a concept called luck suppression.
For example, Alan's current death cycle had a 1% trigger rate, but bdue to his low luck attribute, the actual trigger rate would be lower than 1%.
The extent of this reduction depended on the value of the luck attribute.
Another thing was luck suppression.
If you were lucky and encountered someone with a 95% critical hit rate, they might hit you ten times without landing a single critical hit.
If a low-luck person attacked a high-luck person, it got even scarier.
With a 99% critical hit rate, a low-luck person might not trigger a single critical hit in ten attacks against a high-luck person.
Conversely, even with just a 5% critical hit rate, a high-luck person might land four or five critical hits in ten attacks against a low-luck person.
That was the difference between the two.
And SnowflakeChaser had always been known for her exceptionally high luck among players.
She got golden equipment in the starter village and obtained the Heart of the Lord before her second job change.
The key was you wouldn't say she's very strong personally, because she's not.
You wouldn't say her companions are strong either, because she always employs people she has good relationships with.
Yet, somehow, she always found herself in the right place at the right time, seizing unexpected opportunities.
In the previous life, SnowflakeChaser didn't publicly share the strategy for obtaining the Heart of the Lord.
But in the previous life, Alan worked for her company, so he knew a bit.
It seemed like she completed a chain quest.
The key was that it wasn't a particularly difficult chain quest.
Alan had also received many rewards along the way.
But his rewards were hard-won through his god-level talent.
Leaving the Black Wind Mountains, Alan headed straight for Lindataria.
Back then, SnowflakeChaser's chain quest seemed to have been obtained in Lindataria.
However, before Alan reached Lindataria, he received a message from Blade Warrior.
Blade Warrior: [Ice King, my people just saw a notice at the city gate issuing a ban against you.]
Blade Warrior sent a ban notice.
[Ban.]
[Ice King is insane and unscrupulous, attempting to molest Princess Ashley.]
[The nine silver generals loyally protected the princess, allowing her to escape.]
[But Ice King, in a fit of rage, tried to kill the nine silver generals, acting worse than an animal.]
[The nine silver generals fought back to the death, but were cruelly killed by Ice King, left naked in the wilderness.]
[The king seeks justice for Princess Ashley and the fallen nine silver generals, hereby issuing this ban.]
[From now on, neither Ice King nor dogs are allowed to enter Stellaria Central City, and Stellaria citizens are forbidden from issuing any quests to or assisting Ice King.]
[September 11, 6661, issued by King Rex!]
Alan couldn't help but grimace at the content of the notice.
'Issuing a ban is one thing, but what's with this long-winded explanation?'
'And this distortion of the truth is too much.'
'What do they mean by 'attempting to molest Ashley'?'
'This is slander, complete slander!!'
'And, it's one thing to ban me from entering the city. But why add that dogs are also banned?'
Alan now wished he could erase Ashley's name from the Book of Life and Death and replace it with King Rex's.
However, it was just a thought.
The blood-draining ability of his Book of Life and Death couldn't yet threaten someone as strong as King Rex.
Alan replied: [Thanks, almost made a wasted trip.]
However, now he had a headache.
He couldn't enter Central City or get quests from NPCs.
King Rex had really suppressed him.
He had crushed Ashley, weakened Lisa, and failed to take over the merchant guild with Leona.
Now King Rex had used Ashley and the nine silver generals to banish him, putting everything in Stellaria under their control.
"All my efforts, and it's all to your advantage,Rex. You're quite the manipulator." A cold glint flashed in Alan's eyes. "But no matter how much you scheme against me, it won't work. If you want to play, I'll play with you."
In his previous life, he had been a pawn all his life.
In this life, he had finally risen, and he didn't like the feeling of being a pawn.
Even if the person scheming against him was King Rex, it wouldn't do.
'I used to think attacking Central City was impossible, but now, it doesn't seem so impossible!!'
A hint of killing intent and madness appeared in Alan's eyes.
