It was worth mentioning that the leader of the ascetics, Sangir, had a special item that was not part of the loot list. It was the 'Sangir's Emblem'. It indicated that this emblem could be used to exchange for corresponding achievement points from the quartermaster of the opposing faction. However, it did not state how much the achievement points would be.
This was easy to understand. It was likely that different camps' quartermasters would give different valuations of merit points. The more powerful the faction, the lower the valuation. Smaller factions might give a sky-high price of a few thousand merit points.
Sangir belonged to the Church of Light and could be considered a neutral faction. According to the beliefs of the Aaron Plane, he could be considered part of the Imperial Army faction. This was because the Vikings of the Usok Resistance Army basically believed in the God of War.
However, Bai Xiaowen could not join the Resistance Army now. His Kingdom of Death faction was secretly opposed to any living faction. The threshold to rejoin the Resistance Army faction was very high. Moreover, it was a strenuous and unrewarding task. He also had to be wary of Gloria hunting him down in anger.
He could only leave it to the quartermaster of the Kingdom of Death faction. However, the Kingdom of Death currently did not even have a quartermaster.
However, with Silverstar Island officially becoming the headquarters of the Kingdom of Death, the Kingdom of Death should be on the right track as a faction with a base. A quartermaster would definitely appear as part of the faction. He just had to wait patiently.
For the next few days, the White Phoenix Squad attacked Silverstar Island according to the plan.
The White Phoenix Squad attacked Silverstar Harbor first. Bai Xiaowen ordered all the ships in the harbor to be sunk and the docks to be burned. The harbor with a long history was completely abandoned, cutting off Silverstar Island from the surrounding territories.
Under the leadership of some elite officers, the scattered soldiers that escaped from Silverstar City formed various resistance groups.
However, due to Aldington's oppressive rule, these resistance groups under Aldington's banner could not gain the support of the people of Silverstar Island. They could not do anything. Bai Xiaowen led the White Phoenix Squad on a campaign. In a few days, they wiped out all the resistance groups on Silverstar Island. The Kingdom of Death had completely taken control of Silverstar Island.
The laws of the Spiritual Realm soon notified him that the lord-level side quest had been completed. He needed to find Gloria to submit it.
Silverstar City.
The first batch of believers of the Cursing Sect had managed to rebuild the Liege's Mansion from the ruins. From this point alone, one could see how wise Bai Xiaowen's decision was. Otherwise, how could those unintelligent undead be able to complete the task of building a house?
Of course, this group of believers also received the rewards they deserved. They were directly promoted to Level 2 believers and had their taxes reduced by 40%. They also had the privilege of purchasing ownerless properties in Silver Star City at a low price.
The Cursing Sect on Silver Star Island had already taken shape. In just a few days, it had grown to over 10,000 members, accounting for more than a third of the current population of Silver Star City.
Lich Bard was so tired that his hand almost broke from doing the registration work.
In the liege's residence, Bai Xiaowen met Gloria, who had finished digesting her power and had come out of seclusion.
The dense waves of psionic particles around Gloria had been restrained. With Bai Xiaowen's senses, he could no longer sense that she was a Lord-class powerhouse unless he used Insight to look at her template.
Bai Xiaowen chose to submit the mission.
Gloria leaned against the high throne, and the huge body of the Frost Skeletal Dragon crawled at her feet. Gloria's voice was cold and ethereal. "Silver Star Island has been under the rule of the Kingdom of Death. This name that carries the history of the past is no longer useful. Dior, come up with a new name. "
Obviously, Bai Xiaowen's ability to name the Frost Skeletal Dragon had gained Gloria's approval.
"Let's call it Northrend," Bai Xiaowen said solemnly.
"Yes, not bad." Gloria nodded in approval.
Northrend actually meant the Land of the Far North.
"Dior, your performance was impeccable. Without you, the Kingdom of Death would not have taken over the entire Northrend Island so smoothly. Your individual strength and the strength of your team are outstanding, and your commanding talent is even more outstanding. I will give you a reward that matches your performance. "
Bai Xiaowen felt very comfortable in his heart. The faction leader that he had cultivated was indeed reliable. She did not even need to talk to him to get benefits. She just gave it directly.
Gloria took out two faintly glowing pages of unknown material and handed one of them to Bai Xiaowen. "Sign this contract if you are satisfied with this reward."
"You have received a Gold item: Call of the North (Inactive)."
[Call of the North (Inactive): Grade-C Gold Item, Contract Summoning Item. After use, you can open an interplanar portal and temporarily summon the Black Knight Overlord, Gloria, to fight for you. Standard duration: 10 minutes. The stronger Gloria is, the shorter the duration. Rechargeable. Current usage: 1/1. Cooldown: 7 natural days.]
[Note 1: If the Black Knight Overlord, Gloria, is in combat state, she cannot respond to your summons. Accordingly, the usage of this item will not be consumed.]
[Note 2: 'Call of the North' is a chain item. Gloria also has the right to summon you and your party into the North. Within 12 hours of the summoning effect, you and your party must respond to the summons. Otherwise, the contract will be voided.]
[Note 3: 'Call of the North' is a contract summoning item. Both parties need to sign the contract with blood for the item to take effect.]
A rechargeable Grade-C Gold Item?
Bai Xiaowen took a deep breath, concealing the shock in his heart. As expected of a Lord mission, the reward was such a rare item.
Gloria said slowly, "In the Aldington Family's treasure vault, I found a few indestructible treasures, including a God's Gift Page. Relying on the power of the God's Gift Page, I ordered the Lich Bard to help me create this contract. "
"This contract, after every use, I need to inject energy into it again, right? How do I recharge it? "Bai Xiaowen asked.
Gloria said, "The contract uses my blood as the medium. After using the contract to summon me, you need to come to Northrend. As long as you can complete the mission I give you, I can sign my name on the contract again. "
Bai Xiaowen understood. He and Gloria had summoned each other for help. It was a form of mutual benefit. Why would Bai Xiaowen come to Northrend?
The probability of passing through the Spiritual World Ticket was too low. Although some unique items in the Aaron Plane could have a positioning effect, as the Awakened's level and template increased, the requirements for positioning items would also increase. In addition, positioning items could only be used once.
Back when Li Shuyi was a Quasi-Awakened, she only needed a Yellow Turban Army Sergeant's waist token to locate her to the Three Kingdoms Plane. But now? If she wanted to enter the Three Kingdoms Plane, she would need at least a special clue dropped by a Rare Elite in the Three Kingdoms Plane. Only then would she be able to do it. And Bai Xiaowen's requirements for a positioning item were even higher.
Therefore, Bai Xiaowen could only respond to Gloria's summon to accurately come to Northrend, complete the mission, and recharge the contract item.
As a lord, Gloria would not have many opportunities to ask for Bai Xiaowen's help. Unless she encountered a large-scale battle, she could borrow Bai Xiaowen's commanding ability. In other words, once "Summon of the North" was used, it would take a long time to recharge it.
Therefore, it had to be used cautiously as a trump card at a critical moment.
Gloria's right fingertip gently drew a line on the skeletal greatsword, and dark red blood slowly flowed out. She wrote her name in the corresponding position on the contract with her finger.
Bai Xiaowen also bit his fingertip, but he hesitated before writing his name.
[Should I write Dior S Kail Bloom's alias, or my real name on Earth?]
Bai Xiaowen only hesitated for 0.1 seconds before writing down Dior S Kail Bloom's name. The light of the contract flickered, and an invisible connection formed between him and Gloria.
In fact, the signature was just a formality in this kind of contract. The key was the blood of the contractor. Bai Xiaowen could even draw a circle with the blood on his fingertip.
There were two copies of the contract. After signing both contracts, Gloria and Bai Xiaowen each held one copy.
"Looking at this contract carefully, it's a bit unfair. We can only summon you for 10 minutes each time. Is there any way to extend the time? "Bai Xiaowen asked.
Gloria said faintly, "The energy stored in the God's Bestowed Page is only enough for me to cross over for 10 minutes before I have to return. Unless I open a one-way planar teleportation door, then I can stay forever, but I'll need to make a new one-way teleportation contract. However, there's only one God's Bestowed Page in Aldington's treasury. "
"Uh, that won't be necessary …" Bai Xiaowen blushed with shame. If she used the contract summoning item on Earth, wouldn't Gloria destroy Earth? That's not right. It's better to leave her to harm the people of Aaron.
Gloria then said, "After occupying Silverstar Island, the treasury of the Kingdom of Death has increased a lot of treasures, including some items I made, mainly to reward outsiders like you. You can go find Bard. "
Following this order, Bai Xiaowen received a notification from the Spiritual Realm's rules:
[You've received a reward: 5,000 Merit Points (Kingdom of Death).]
[Your reputation in the Kingdom of Death has greatly increased. Current reputation level: Reverence.]
[Black Knight Overlord Gloria's favorability towards you has greatly increased. Current favorability level: Friend.]
[Black Knight Overlord Gloria's favorability towards you has greatly increased. Current favorability level: Appreciation (unchanged).]
Lich Bard has become a quartermaster?
Although it was a little strange, it was not unexpected. After all, Gloria and Bard the Lich were the only high-ranking characters in the Nation of Death. They could not expect Sindagosa to make a cameo appearance as the quartermaster, right?
Speaking of Merit Points, Bai Xiaowen quickly handed the "Sangir's Emblem" to Gloria.
"The emblem of an ascetic? Good loot. "Gloria nodded." You've proven yourself worthy of being a warrior of the Kingdom of Death. "
Bai Xiaowen immediately received another notification that he was rewarded with 800 Merit Points.
Then, the White Phoenix team found Lich Bard at the registration office of Scholomance.
"Dior S Kail Bloom! You came at the right time. Hurry up and explain the rules of admission to these people! " Lich Bard shouted. "As the dean of Scholomance, you can't shirk your responsibility. I'm tired of looking at these disgusting ignorant faces."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said to the prospective students waiting in line, "Make way, I have a few words to say to the clerk."
These residents of Silver Star City, now called Northrend, retreated in fear and left the room.
"What's going on?" Lich Bard was a bit vigilant. "Why did you drive the outsiders away? Do you want to …"
"Don't misunderstand," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile. "Open the Merit Points exchange list."
Lich Bard immediately froze and entered the selling mode of a human-shaped ATM machine.
Whoosh! A list of items was displayed.
Bai Xiaowen admired Bard's slightly open jaw, as if he had something stuck in his throat. He praised, "This state is still more peaceful …"
Li Shuyi and Qiao Rui began to look at the Merit Points exchange list, but the next second, the two closed the list with a frightened expression.
"What's wrong?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
"It's too scary …" Li Shuyi's face was bitter. "Or rather, it's disgusting."
Bai Xiaowen glanced at it and couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was no wonder that the two beautiful teammates were so frightened. The Kingdom of Death's exchange list was really too strange. Rotten blood (drink), delicious brain matter (food), half-rotten liver (food) … Just looking at the names was enough to make one want to vomit, not to mention the accompanying pictures. Those with a weak immune system would not be able to stomach it.
Although these foods and drinks were rather strange, their effects were quite powerful. Take the food "Delicious Brain Juice" (vomit ~) for example. The total amount of HP recovered was twice as much as the rye snacks.
Li Shuyi complained, "Which Awakened would be willing to exchange for this kind of food? It's useless no matter how much HP they recover."
"Normally, it's very difficult for Awakened to find a way to join a faction like the Kingdom of Death, because Awakened themselves are living beings and are secretly opposed to the Kingdom of Death. It's completely a coincidence that we joined," Bai Xiaowen said. "Similarly, there's also the King of Fighters' Planar World, the Serpent Destroyer's faction. It's hostile to all humans, so it's naturally extremely difficult to join. And even if you join, you'll be restricted at every step. It's normal that you don't get any benefits from it."
Li Shuyi recalled Lich Bard's doubts about the White Phoenix team and nodded in relief.
Bai Xiaowen chose to exclude the food (drink) list.
Let's not talk about the standard equipment in the list. The focus was on the item category.
[Shadow Infusion Scroll: A + Grade Item. Use it on friendly Undead creatures to obtain a temporary strengthening effect and + 8 to all attributes. Use it on enemies to cause 150 Shadow Damage. Requires 2,000 Achievement Points.]
[Shadow Grip Scroll: A Grade Item. Drag an enemy within a 50-meter radius to your side and apply a moderate Speed Reduction effect for 5 seconds. If the target's Strength is higher than yours, there is a chance that the Shadow Grip will fail. The greater the difference in Strength, the higher the failure rate.]
