Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God - Chapter 1266

Chapter 1266






Chapter 1266 - Dragon's Blood

Apocalypse Empire, Deathwhisper Hill:

An army of over a hundred thousand Undead guarded the Deathwhisper Fortress . A legion of 1,000 players clashed with the constant stream of Undead .

These Undead wore tattered armor and wielded swords and shields . Their movements were organized, and even the weakest among them was a Level 42 Elite, while the strongest included Level 46 Lords .

If a normal, 1,000-man legion faced this army, they would be terrified . However, this 1,000-man legion killed the Undead with a militaristic efficiency, acting as if this situation were just a matter of course .

Several hundred MTs raised their shields as they held the Undead back, none of them even attacking the monsters as they focused on defense . With the limited space, the MTs maneuvered their shields and displayed impressive technique as they prevented the Undead from breaking past their line . As for the DPS players behind the shield wall, they launched an unrelenting assault . Occasionally, they used AOE attacks, dealing high amounts of damage to a cluster of monsters .

"Good . DPS, prioritize Chieftain rank and above monsters . Healers, keep an eye on your Mana . If it falls below 30%, retreat, switch players with a back-up healer, and recover . " Phoenix Rain commanded her legion while attacking a Lord ranked monster . She remained wholly unperturbed despite facing down an Undead army led by 100 Lords . It seemed as if this battle were completely under her control .

As Phoenix Rain was commanding the battle, Blue Phoenix, who wielded a dark blue crystal staff that radiated the Epic rank glow and wore a complete Level 45 Dark-Gold Set Equipment for Elementalists, walked up to her leader's side . Blue Phoenix then reported quietly, "Big Sis Rain, we just received news that a Shop in Chaos Rock City is selling the popular Sea God's Blessing . Moreover, the potion only costs 1 Gold per bottle . "





"What? Why is it so cheap?" When Phoenix Rain heard Blue Phoenix's report, a hint of surprise slipped through her calm exterior . "Is the information reliable? Or is that Shop just trying to become famous, selling a small number for such a low price?"

The Sea God's Blessing had become a strategic resource, which God's Domain's superpowers competed over . Its effects were wondrous for exploring secret ruins and raiding Dungeons . Among the Sea God's Blessings sold in the Apocalypse Empire, Phoenix Rain had only obtained a little over 500 bottles . Miracle and Battle Wolves had snatched the majority of the potions . Meanwhile, she was saving these Sea God's Blessing as a trump card to raid large-scale Hell Mode Team Dungeons and the competition on Thunder Island .

Previously, the cheapest Sea God's Blessings in the Apocalypse Empire's Auction House had sold for 6 Gold . Even after deducting the processing fees, the players selling the potion would get over 5 Gold per bottle, yet someone had decided to sell it for 1 Gold . No matter how she looked at it, this felt like fake news .

She had long since investigated the Sea God's Blessing . The potion could only be purchased from the Sea God's Temple . The only way to obtain a large quantity in a short time right now was to trade in Runic Crystals . However, Runic Crystals were even rarer than Magic Crystals . Other than defeating Boss-grade sea monsters, the only reliable way of obtaining them was to synthesize Runic Fragments . Unfortunately, the synthesis was expensive . Initial estimates put the cost of one bottle of Sea God's Blessing at a minimum of 1 Gold, 50 Silver . If unlucky, the potion might even cost 2 Gold .

Although her people had tried that method, the results had been disappointing . After all, they knew very few NPC Master Alchemists . Moreover, unless they achieved a certain level of Favorability with these NPCs, they would not receive any help . Most importantly, each Sea God's Temple had a limited number of Sea God's Blessings . By the time they had amassed a large number of Runic Crystals, the Sea God's Temple they had visited had run out of stock…

"I thought the same thing . But according to our reports, the Shop has already sold more than 1,000 bottles . Many large Guilds have given up on purchasing the potion in the Auction House . Only independent teams with flimsy information networks are bidding on the potions," Blue Phoenix explained .

"This is interesting . Have you found out who runs that Shop yet?" Phoenix Rain asked, chuckling softly .

"Yes . The House of Seas owns the Shop . It is a warehouse-type Shop that the House of Seas operates to collect materials and potions that cannot be found at sea . " Blue Phoenix then sent Phoenix Rain the related information .





Chaos Rock City ranked in the 10s among the many NPC cities in the Apocalypse Empire . It was insignificant compared to the imperial capital . With enough money early in the game, anyone could obtain land in the NPC cities ranked beyond 10th place; none of the superpowers would pay any attention to these small cities .

Taking advantage of this fact, powers such as the House of Seas, that were not based in the Apocalypse Empire, had purchased the Lands . One of the reasons for doing so was to set up a foundation for any potential development . They could also set up a Shop to serve as their eyes in the empire while they used it as a warehouse of sorts .

"Their competitor must be quite strong to force the House of Seas to this," Phoenix Rain chuckled . "Since the House of Seas wants to stomp its competition by lowering the potion's price, we'll use this opportunity to buy as many as we can . However, we cannot let the House of Seas's competitor die off too quickly . Have someone contact the competitor and tell them that we wish to have a chat . "

"Understood . " Blue Phoenix promptly began to contact her subordinates .

While Phoenix Ran and Blue Phoenix had conversed, the other major powers had sent their people to investigate the situation . After all, they all knew that the House of Seas had a very strong backer . They were curious to know who was capable of forcing the House of Seas into this corner . Moreover, whoever was responsible was capable of securing a large quantity of Sea God's Blessings . If the other party were strong enough, they could consider forming a partnership . If not, all the better .

…

Stormwind Town, Sea God's Temple's second-floor reception room:

After waiting in the reception room for some time, Shi Feng watched a stern, gray-robed, old man nearing his 70s enter the room .





Although this old man's hair was fully white, he brimmed with spirit . Moreover, the instant this old man appeared, Shi Feng felt the space around him radiate an immense pressure . He felt as if he would be turned into meat paste if he made any sudden movements .

This old man was none other than Arnold, the Vice Temple Master of Stormwind Town's Sea God's Temple . On the surface, the NPC's information showed that he was a Level 160, Tier 3 Great Mage . In reality, however, he was a Tier 4 Great Wizard . Only, due to his last battle, he had fallen ill, falling a tier as a result .

This was the beginning of the rare quest chain .

"Young adventurer, what business do you have with me?" Arnold asked indifferently as he watched Shi Feng .

As the Sea God's Temple's Vice Temple Master, his status was extremely high . If not for Shi Feng's Stormwind Emblem, he would not be worth this NPC's time .

Arnold's cold greeting didn't particularly surprise Shi Feng . Smiling, he answered, "Lord Arnold, I've heard that, to protect this town in the past, you fought a desperate battle against an abyssal monster . In the end, you used a Curse to kill the monster . However, you suffered a backlash as a result . I have an Advanced Healing Potion with me . I hope that it can be of some help to your injuries . "

Saying so, Shi Feng took an Advanced Healing Potion from his bag .

"Thank you, young adventurer," Arnold said, his tone no longer cold and indifferent . He then shook his head and said, "However, you are better off saving this Advanced Healing Potion for yourself . I know full well what kind of wound I suffer . It is not that easy to treat . Even the Water of Life cannot help me . "

"May I know what may help you recover, Lord Arnold?" Shi Feng asked .

"Young adventurer, I do not wish to belittle your strength, but curing my wounds is too difficult . If you really wish to help me, you must first collect a drop of Dragon's Blood," Arnold said, chuckling . He then turned and left the reception room .

System: Rare Hidden Quest "Hero's Past" triggered . Do you wish to accept?

-
Shi Feng accepted the quest without hesitation .

Sure enough, the quest is the same as it was in the past . Shi Feng released a sigh of relief . After all, he did not have a deep understanding of Sea's End . Much of his information contained falsehoods .

Fortunately, the information regarding this quest had been true . The first item this chain quest required was the super-rare herb, Dragon's Blood . When consumed, players would permanently gain anywhere from 10 to 20 Strength . Very few players were willing to trade such a precious item for a few TCP .

Following which, Shi Feng left the reception room and headed downstairs .

Fire Dance, who was in Stealth, approached with an anxious expression and reported, "Guild Leader, this isn't good . The House of Seas is selling a large number of Sea God's Blessings in Shops throughout the various empires . Moreover, they are selling them for 1 Gold per bottle . Everyone has stopped buying the potion from the Auction House . In addition, the House of Seas is purchasing Runic Fragments without limit in the various towns and cities for 4 Silver per stack . I'm afraid that it won't be long before they buy out all of the Runic Fragments other players have accumulated . If that happens, it won't be easy to purchase fragments in bulk anymore . "
