Immortal Creed

Liens and his companions were fortunate; after wandering in the forest for some time, they finally collected the horns of four more Horned Rabbits.

The consequences were the deaths of four cute rabbits, and Liens and his companions nearly got lost in the forest.

The forest was very complex, with large trees blocking the sky and dense undergrowth.

Without much experience, it was truly not easy to find a few rabbits, and even if they found them, catching them was not something that could be done just by saying it.

Those Horned Rabbits were swift in movement and keen in senses; once they detected a hunter approaching, they would immediately release "Paralysis Lightning Strike" and then turn and run.

The entire process was smooth and seamless, without the slightest hesitation or pause.

Who knows how many generations of Horned Rabbits had to sacrifice themselves for this set of actions to form such an instinctive reaction?

Life is not easy, especially for Horned Rabbits, whose meat is delicate and delicious.

In the forest, being basically at the bottom of the food chain, they probably could only preserve their Life from predators by relying on this instinctive reaction.

After some discussion and deliberation, and selecting one person to "sacrifice," the other two finally caught the agile Horned Rabbit by surrounding it.

Hmm... saying they caught it isn't quite right, because Liens relied on his explosive power to rush directly to the Horned Rabbit's side and slay it with a single sword strike.

Liens and his companions left the forest somewhat disheveled, and on their way back, they killed several more demonic beasts and took their special materials.

They planned to return and claim the relevant quests directly, completing them on the spot.

Liens and his companions saw that many veteran Dark Guards did this, and the Glenbagen Family didn't mind.

As long as you complete the quest and collect the materials the family needs, that's fine.

...

Outer City, on the street.

After walking for half a day, Liens and his companions finally returned to the city.

"Wait, I'm going to buy something, I'll be back very soon."

Suddenly seeing a shop, Liens stopped and turned to the other two.

"Tom's Stationery? What are you buying there? Paper and pen?"

"What do you need those for?"

Harriman asked Liens curiously as he saw the shop Liens was heading towards.

"What can paper and pen be used for? Of course, for recording."

"I plan to record my daily life through a diary."

"Of course, I'll also practice writing at the same time, so I don't forget how to write after finally learning it, just because I haven't written for a long time."

Liens replied casually.

This was just a casual excuse.

How could Liens, who considered himself a serious person, write a diary like Marvin?

"By the way, do you two want to buy one too?"

"Even if you don't write a diary like me, it's good to record some interesting things."

"Human memory isn't as reliable as we imagine."

"Simple records can effectively help us recall things we should remember better."

Liens suggested to the others, and then he walked into the shop.

Hearing this, Ben nodded in agreement and silently followed him into the shop.

"Alright, since you're both going to buy, I'll buy one too. I'll just consider it for practicing writing."

Harriman showed a helpless expression; he didn't particularly like writing, but to fit in, he had to pretend.

Finally, the three of them each bought a bound notebook, a few quill pens, and ink at "Tom's Stationery."

With their purchases, Liens and his companions stepped onto the bustling, traffic-filled street, heading towards the family's stronghold in the Inner City.

...

For the next half a month or so, Liens and his companions, like other Dark Guards, became busy.

They rushed through various quests daily, just to accumulate enough contribution points to exchange for desired items in the warehouse.

During these past ten-plus days, Liens and his companions didn't always perform quests together.

Sometimes Ben would want to "rest," saying he wanted to wander around the city and see the Inner City scenery, so he would leave the group alone.

As for Liens, he simply wanted to kill people.

Whenever he thought that his "Gang Leader Full Compendium" hadn't collected many portraits yet, he felt a bit restless.

So, when Ben left the team, he would go alone to boost his "achievement" progress.

Besides, that could also earn money, couldn't it?

It was just that the gains were much less than hunting demonic beasts in the forest.

As for Harriman, he was probably the most serious "money-maker" among the three.

When they separated, Harriman would find other Dark Guards to team up with and hunt demonic beasts together.

So, Liens estimated that in terms of current wealth, Harriman alone could surpass both him and Ben by more than a little.

However, although his wealth wasn't substantial, through more than ten days of effort, he still managed to equip himself with a full set of gear.

His longsword was replaced from a standard longsword to a better refined longsword.

Hmm... that's the kind of longsword Liens took during the warehouse robbery, valued at two thousand contribution points.

Next were things like leather armor, inner armor, alchemy potions, and magic tools.

In any case, Liens considered himself pretty much fully armed.

To upgrade further on this basis would probably require a few more months of effort.

He was also too lazy to continue contributing to the Glenbagen Family, so he simply lay in his dormitory, slacking off and "sleeping in."

In the instance dungeon.

Liens began his routine daily exploration of the Glenbagen Family's stronghold; after completing this, he also needed to go to the warehouse to practice sword fighting with Adonis.

After more than half a month and countless battles, Liens could now easily defeat Adonis.

Although, due to the "Magic Barrier" and Adonis's relatively resilient strength,

Liens still couldn't treat him like a small monster and slay him with a single sword strike.

But compared to the initial situation where he needed to break an arm, he could now solo Adonis without taking any damage.

However, sometimes he also wondered if Adonis was some kind of chosen one?

Otherwise, why would someone always come to stop him whenever he tried to kill Adonis?

It was either Heidi, or other people with Glenbagen Family blood, and sometimes it was the Dark Guards who swarmed out from outside the warehouse.

In short, that guy still hadn't given up First Blood to him.

Whenever he thought of this, he felt exceptionally annoyed, and the way to resolve that annoyance was naturally to continuously "torture and kill" Adonis.

Liens put on his equipment and tools and leisurely "patrolled" the Glenbagen Family's stronghold.

Whenever a guard stepped forward to block him, Liens would appear before him like lightning, draw his sword, slit his throat, and then drag him to an inconspicuous dark corner.

Of course, if his actions were discovered, Liens would also be very happy.

Because he could gain more "multi-person encirclement" experience.

"Have you heard? It seems the family and the Pello Family are at odds recently."

A female voice entered his ears.

Liens followed the sound and saw two Miss maids quietly chatting about something.

He smiled, walked over, and with his "superb" conversational skills, successfully obtained the information he wanted from the two Miss maids.

"It seems the 'Conscription' might be coming..."

Liens stroked his chin, lost in thought.
