NOVEL NEXT Chapter 209 New Mount
"Seal Release"
In the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion in Cyan Dragon City, a figure in a black robe suddenly appeared.
The moment this black-robed figure appeared, he saw Lin Yi in front of him and roared in anger:
"Brat, you're courting death!"
However, the instant the black-robed figure appeared, Andre, who had been preparing for this moment, shouted loudly:
"How dare you!"
Andre's right arm transformed into a fiery serpent that charged directly at the black-robed figure.
Not giving the black-robed figure any chance to react, in the blink of an eye, the flaming serpent had already entwined itself around the figure's body.
Lin Yi hurriedly retreated to the side as Andre clenched his fist and said in a low voice:
"Burst!"
It was at this moment that the black-robed figure noticed Babylon and Andre not far away and screamed in terror:
"No."
But before their bewildered and uncertain gazes, the flaming serpent swelled and exploded with a bang:
"Boom!"
"-11850000"
Amid flying sparks, the black-robed figure fell to the ground wailing, terrified:
"Don't kill me."
"To attack the Chosen One against the Father God's rules is unforgivable!"
Just as Andre was about to strike again, Babylon intervened to stop his next move, saying:
"Hold on."
Andre, unwillingly, said:
"City Lord, what's the use of keeping such a rule-breaker?"
"Heh~"
Babylon glanced at Andre without further comment, instead, he turned directly towards the black-robed figure convulsing on the ground.
Under Lin Yi and the others' shocked and puzzled gazes, Babylon lifted the black robe, revealing a middle-aged man in General Armor beneath.
"One of our own?!"
Handsome was stunned.
The equipment was clearly from the advanced NPCs of the major Main Cities. They never expected that the black-robed attacker was nominally 'one of their own.'
At this time, the name above his head changed:
Galen Blair Lv60
Commander of Black Tortoise City Guard
Life Value: 49150000/61000000
As soon as the black-robed figure was exposed, Lin Yi noticed a fleeting unnaturalness and murderous intent in Andre's eyes.
From this, Lin Yi could almost confirm that this person's appearance was definitely related to Vice City Lord Andre.
He wanted the Black Tortoise Seal Lin Yi had!
At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly remembered when Auburn left and Andre insisted on accompanying him to the Scripture Pavilion.
At that moment, Andre's reaction seemed to make sense.
Lin Yi figured that he must know something.
At the very least, he wanted to obtain the Black Tortoise Seal to take that item from the Scripture Pavilion or for some other purpose.
Otherwise, he wouldn't take such a huge risk to 'deal with' him.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain how a commander would know he had the Black Tortoise Seal and could track him down accurately, capturing Lin Yi's 'weakness' and threatening him with the Lizardman's life.
Suddenly, Lin Yi realized he was holding a hot potato!
Holding something coveted by a level 69 NPC, he couldn't help but curse inwardly: Damn, does it have to be this serious!
Babylon:
"Speak, who instructed you to do this?"
When Brian saw Babylon in front of him and Andre not far away, despair filled his eyes:
"How did I get here?"
Then, thinking of Lin Yi, he pointed at him with a twisted expression:
"It was you!"
Lin Yi was startled by the sudden accusation and then said:
"Weren't you the one who started trouble with me first?"
How come he's 'not as skilled,' yet still so self-righteous?
Suddenly being pointed at by a level 60 commander, Lin Yi instinctively backed away a little.
Because the aura emanating from him was overwhelmingly strong, something Lin Yi, barely over level 20, could not withstand.
Moreover, considering the opponent's current furious state, Lin Yi was genuinely worried he might suddenly strike and finish him off.
Babylon's aura suddenly erupted, overshadowing Blair's with his authority as the City Lord and Demigod, and he asked with a grim expression:
"Answer me, who instructed you to do this?"
Blair looked at Babylon in terror, subconsciously wanting to speak:
"It was..."
At this moment, Andre suddenly said:
"Think about your family and children, it's best not to play tricks, confess honestly."
Andre's words made Blair forcibly swallow back the words he was about to say, then he changed his tone:
"I-I-I don't know."
Upon hearing this, Babylon furrowed his brows:
"You'd better think carefully before speaking, I'll give you one more chance."
Blair shook his head in panic:
"I really don't know, don't ask me anymore."
Babylon looked at Blair, then suddenly stood up and said to Andre:
"Vice City Lord Andre, I appreciate you coming to inform me of this matter in time."
"I believe Black Tortoise City has many things awaiting your attention, so I won't keep you any longer."
Andre:
"But..."
Babylon smiled seemingly casually:
"Is there any issue? Or do you distrust how this City Lord handles affairs?"
Andre promptly said:
"I wouldn't dare."
Babylon directly said:
"No need to see you off."
Seeing this, Andre could only reluctantly glance at Blair, then said to Babylon:
"Farewell!"
Then turned and left.
After Andre left, Babylon said to Blair:
"Now you can speak."
However, at this moment, Lin Yi and the others saw Blair's Life Value suddenly drop drastically.
"-10000000"
Blair looked bewildered and terrified:
"I don't want to die, save me!"
"-10000000"
Lin Yi suddenly said to Zhang Xinying:
"Quick, heal him."
Zhang Xinying promptly used a skill:
"Holy Healing Technique"
" +1001 "
But this amount of Life Value was insignificant for Blair.
Babylon anxiously said:
"Hurry up and tell us who is behind you."
Blair could only scream in terror:
"Take care of my family."
Seeing Blair's Life Value nearly depleted, Babylon furiously shouted to Lin Yi and the others:
"Attack him quickly, hurry."
Lin Yi raised his hand, casting a skill:
"Arcane Missile"
"-1"
Lin Yi instantly understood Babylon's intention and reminded everyone:
"Don't use skills, use Basic Attack."
Shuai Diao Zha waved his hand and a burst of flame shot out;
Zhan Chen drew his bow and shot an arrow in one continuous motion;
Zhang Xinying swung her magic staff, and a light ball flew over;
Stable as a Mountain and Silent Speech all activated their skills:
"Charge!"
"Powerful Strike!"
Red Eyes and Gifted also rushed forward at the first opportunity, slashing at Blair, who wore a look of despair with their daggers.
Wang Zixin and Dongfang Jing joined in immediately, launching two magic attacks.
A series of forced damage numbers floated up from Blair's head:
"-1"
"-1"
"-1"
Among them were several added damages from Shuai Diao Zha's weapon:
"-76" Burn
"-76" Burn
...
As another damage number floated up.
"-9150763"
With a scream, Blair fell unwillingly to the ground.
At the same time, Lin Yi and others gained a large amount of experience; most of them leveled up by more than one level, while Dongfang Jing directly leveled up by 2 levels, reaching an astounding level 17.
To think that Dongfang Jing just left the Newbie Village today!
If this leveling method got out, it would surely drop jaws everywhere.
"Mythical Equipment!"
Amidst the dazzling items that exploded beside Blair, one piece emitting white light caught everyone's attention.
Lin Yi looked puzzled at Babylon:
"What's going on?"
But Babylon frowned, seemingly pondering something, and finally shook his head:
"I will get to the bottom of this."
Then made a move as if to leave:
"I have some business to attend to, you guys sort it out yourselves."
Lin Yi glanced at the equipment on the ground and asked perplexedly:
"What about these?"
Babylon glared at Lin Yi:
"You guys killed him, handle it yourselves however you see fit."
With that, Babylon vanished.
Gifted rushed forward excitedly, his eyes lighting up:
"We're rich!"
However, when Gifted picked up the Mythical Breastplate, his face turned dark:
"Level 58 equipment? Damn! Is this to be kept as an heirloom?"
Then looking at the other equipment, they were all over level 50, and he wailed:
"I'd rather have the Legendary each from the Vice City Lord."
At this moment, Lin Yi walked over and picked up a Silver Token, and Gifted followed and asked:
"What's this?"
Lin Yi smiled:
"This is a good thing."
Then Lin Yi put the token away, and said:
"Pack up the equipment on the ground, let's move out."
Gifted asked while holding those level 50s equipment:
"What about these equipments?"
Lin Yi rolled his eyes:
"Of course, hold onto them for when they're useful; if you try to sell them now, who would buy?"
Gifted thought about it and agreed.
At the same time, the countdown for hidden professions arranged in the Elf Race reputation exchange shop had started.
Lin Yi suddenly remembered something else and quickly opened [Clan Leader Authority] within the [Elf Race Prosperity Mall]. Now Lin Yi's Prosperity had reached: 1020101.
Lin Yi suddenly said:
"I finally saved enough."
Not far from Lin Yi, Gifted asked puzzled:
"What?"
Lin Yi chuckled:
"A gift prepared for you all."
Then, Lin Yi selected the Epic level mount burning with purple flames in the Prosperity Mall: Nightmare [Exchange] ×6.
Next was another Epic level mount exuding a holy aura: Bai Ze [Exchange] ×4.
(Mount tiers are the same as Pet Eggs: Ordinary → Rare → Epic → Mythical.)
The Nine Netherworld Tiger summoned by Lin Yi is a summoned creature and does not count as a mount, hence has no tier.
Unlike Pet Eggs, Rare level mounts can be obtained through special quests or reputation exchange shops.
Above Epic level is a demarcation, extremely hard to acquire.
Suddenly, beside Lin Yi appeared a divine steed with flaming purple feet, a single horn on its head, red glowing eyes, and wings on its back, shocking everyone:
"What's that?"
Lin Yi chuckled, mounted it, and immediately Nightmare began to run while flapping its wings; in the awe-struck gazes of everyone, Nightmare walked on air, spread its wings, and flew up.
Shuai Diao Zha stared wide-eyed in amazement, exclaiming:
"Awesome!"
After circling in the air, Lin Yi landed steadily on the ground.
Several guys rushed over immediately,
"Wind Boss, what kind of mount is this? It's too cool."
Even the honest and serious Stable as a Mountain couldn't help but say:
"It's beautiful."
Gifted walked up to Lin Yi and said:
"Wind Boss, I can't expect the Elf Dragon, but you must get us one of these mounts, right?"
"If money can solve it, name your price."
Seeing the group surrounding Nightmare, touching and examining it, Lin Yi gleefully raised his hand, immediately spawning five more identical Nightmare steeds:
"Pick one and bind it."
Gifted cheered:
"Wow, my god, Boss, you're amazing, I love you!"
Then, catching Lin Yi off guard, Gifted kissed him on the head.
Seeing Shuai Diao Zha eagerly rushing over, Lin Yi immediately stopped him:
"Not you, get away."
Seeing this, Shuai Diao Zha could only give up, then ran happily to the side to experience his mount.
Silent Speech dissatisfied said:
"Wind Boss, aren't you being a bit unfair? They have them, what about us?"
It must be noted Silent Speech and others are still using Rare mounts usually given out for tasks!
Though Rare, their quality and tier can't compare to what's in front of them.
Lin Yi laughed:
"You'll get yours too."
Under the amazed gaze of the women, four holy light-emitting, likewise winged Bai Ze appeared instantly before them.
In terms of aura and appearance, Nightmare and Bai Ze had nearly opposite styles.
If Nightmare represented terrifying darkness, then Bai Ze symbolized holy light.
After everyone mounted, Lin Yi also mounted and said:
"Let's set out for the Netherworld Domain."
