Chapter 119 Negotiation with Andrew
Blade Warrior: [Ice King, you should be able to get two Master-level Talent Awakening Stones and ten sets of Bronze equipment this time.]
Alan knew exactly what Blade Warrior was thinking when he saw this message.
Ice King: [A set of Bronze equipment costs 200,000 gold coins. The Master-level Talent Awakening Stones are not for sale at the moment.]
Equipment was always just a transitional thing. If Alan wanted better equipment, he could farm it later.
As for the Master-level Talent Awakening Stones, that was definitely not an option.
He planned to establish his own territory in the future and recruite some experts. These Master-level Talent Awakening Stones would come in handy then.
To fight against the Alaite Star System after the cataclysm, he couldn't do it alone. He needed his own territory and forces.
Blade Warrior: [Alright.]
Blade Warrior didn't say much and completed the transaction with Alan directly.
'I wonder how much will change in this life because of me,' Alan thought.
After completing the transaction with Blade Warrior, a smile appeared on Alan's face.
In his previous life, the defensive players James bound were decent, but just decent. They could only inherit health, Physical Defense, and Magic Defense, which made James's strength somewhat lacking, and his defense was only second-rate.
As for Robert, he didn't fare well either.
In his previous life, Robert, besides leveling up, also gained some extra free attribute points, but not many. Most tasks gave just a few points or a dozen points.
Plus, his warrior class had very few skills that involved magic power bonuses, so his magic power was basically useless.
However, with the government's backing, the Berserker Guild quickly became one of the top guilds on the Jinse Empire server.
They gained many benefits, but they couldn't get a level 25 Bronze set at this stage, let alone ten sets.
Alan was like a butterfly with the power of time, flapping its wings and changing the trajectories of some people.
Of course, there was a significant victim in all this—SteadyStrategist!
Originally, he was the first to watch the promotional video, but now, Alan beat him to it.
This meant his god-level talent hadn't awakened yet.
However, SteadyStrategist must be recruited. If there were god-level Talent Awakening Stones in the future, Alan would consider giving one to SteadyStrategist.
Although SteadyStrategist's gameplay style was very conservative, his character was trustworthy. In the face of external invasions, his stance was firm.
Alan remembered that during the fight against the Alaite Star System in his previous life, SteadyStrategist contributed a lot.
Alan snapped back to reality.
Alan began to prepare for the next steps.
He had already claimed a bounty in Snow City once. If Snow City was like Lindataria, there would definitely be more rewards waiting for him.
Therefore, Alan decided to attack Snow City again.
However, before he could reach Snow City, someone appeared in front of him.
Alan had some impression of this person.
"Grand Marshal?"
When he called out "Grand Marshal," Alan's heart skipped a beat, and he tightened his longbow, ready for battle.
"Ice King, no need to be so tense. I'm not the Grand Marshal; I'm his brother, Andrew."
Alan raised an eyebrow. He knew some of the personnel within Stellaria.
But this Andrew, he didn't have much of an impression of.
It seemed there was such a person in Stellaria, but his presence was very low.
"Are you here to hunt me down?" Alan asked.
Andrew shook his head. "No, you misunderstand. I'm not here to hunt you down. I'm here to talk to you."
"On behalf of the Grand Marshal? Or the King?"
"The King," Andrew said seriously. "You might have misunderstood the King's decree."
"I didn't misunderstand. The decree is very clear," Alan replied.
"The King just doesn't want you involved in the fight for the throne. Once the throne battle is over, the decree will naturally be lifted."
Alan smiled noncommittally. "So? He should say those things in the decree?"
"Did you see the content of the decree? That's not something a King should do."
Andrew's expression was a bit strange. He clearly knew the content of the decree.
"The King only issued the decree. The specific content was done by Chancellor Lorenr's people," Andrew explained.
Alan's lips curled up. As expected, it was just as he thought.
The content of the decree was meant to provoke him.
Chancellor Lorenr had long planned this, and this plan likely had more than one step.
"And then?" Alan asked.
"Ice King, you fell for it. But regardless, the decree was issued by the King. The King sent me to talk to you." Andrew took out a scroll as he spoke. "This should be very helpful to you; the Pre-quest scroll for the Blessing of the Gods."
Alan raised an eyebrow. He didn't expect to come across this thing so soon.
It seemed King Rex knew him well.
[Due to your attack on Central City, which affected Stellaria's internal affairs, Andrew hopes you can stop.]
[Quest requirement: Ice King will not participate in Stellaria's internal affairs for seven days.]
[Quest penalty: Unknown.]
[Quest reward: Free attribute points +100, Blessing of the Gods +1.]
Seven days.
That didn't seem long, but if seven days passed, the fight for the throne in Stellaria might be over.
"I can accept this quest, but I have conditions," Alan said.
Andrew nodded, seemingly unfazed by the revelation that Alan would have conditions.
"First, the attacks on the King won't stop for now. The duration is indefinite, as it relates to another quest of mine."
Andrew's face darkened, but he still nodded. "No problem."
"Second, I have a significant influence among adventurers. If I give up the attack on Central City so easily, it will greatly affect my reputation."
"What else do you want?" Andrew's expression turned grim. He had a vague idea of what Alan was getting at.
Alan said, "I want to attack Lindataria and conquer it!"
"That's impossible!" Andrew almost immediately rejected it. "Lindataria is an important city in Stellaria. We can't let you conquer it just like that."
Alan didn't back down and shrugged indifferently. "Then no deal. Lindataria must be conquered, or I, Ice King, will lose my dignity."
Of course, Alan wasn't worried about his dignity. This was a mission from the Black Robe Leader.
Therefore, he had to conquer Lindataria.
"I can't answer you on this. Give me a few minutes." Andrew walked to the side, clearly contacting King Rex.
After a while, Andrew came back and said seriously, "The King said he could agree to you conquering Lindataria, but you also need to agree to a few conditions."
