Ling Yi City, Ling Yi's Guild Residence:
A large number of players crowded around the Guild Residence's entrance to register. Among these players, there was no lack of well-equipped, high-level experts. Occasionally, one would even spot Tier 2 players.
Many passersby were astonished by this scene.
Tier 2 was definitely the hallmark of an expert player at this stage of the game. This was true even after players had accepted the Common Promotion Quest. After all, the Tier 2 Promotion Quest was not easy. Without a certain standard, it was impossible to complete it.
However, compared to the Tier 2 experts lining up, the adventurer teams entering Ling Yi Society, one after another, were truly stupefying.
Every one of the adventurer teams entering Ling Yi Society was a relatively famous adventurer team. Moreover, these adventurer teams' members were all well-equipped. Quite a few wore Level 50 Fine-Gold Equipment. There were also plenty of Tier 2 experts among these adventurer teams. Moreover, unlike the Tier 2 experts lining up, the weakest among these adventurer teams' Tier 2 players had completed the Hard Mode Promotion Quest. Their potential in the future was far greater than if they had completed the Common Promotion Quest.
"With so many adventurer teams joining Ling Yi Society, the Ling Yi Society's strength will definitely increase significantly."
"Amazing! More than 20 adventurer teams had already entered the Star-Moon Forest! If we absorb all of these adventurer teams, our combat power will most likely surpass that of third-rate Guilds. Hopefully, the Ling Yi Society won't absorb too many of them. Otherwise, our chances of joining Ling Yi Society will be even slimmer. "
…
The players lining up outside the Guild Hall were both excited and worried as they watched the various adventurer teams following Ling Yi's members into the Guild Hall.
Countless players dreamed of having Zero Wing City's powerful defenses. Now, Zero Wing's future was clear. Even if the Orc Empire fell, Zero Wing would remain unshakeable in Star-Moon Kingdom. Based on this alone, Zero Wing had already surpassed first-rate Guilds that occupied two or three kingdoms in the eyes of the majority of players in God's Domain.
First-rate Guilds that occupied two or three kingdoms might possess a lot of resources, but they were not stable. There was a high chance that other Guilds would snatch this position away from them. After all, while a kingdom might not change, the same could not be said for the Guild managing it.
On the other hand, the Ling YI Society was different. As long as Ling Yi City existed, the Ling YI Society's position in the Starmoon Kingdom would not change. With such a strong defense, it was hard to imagine that any force would be able to take down Ling Yi City.
Even if there was such a force that could take down Ling Yi City, they probably wouldn't be interested in a small piece of land like the Starmoon Kingdom. There was no need for them to do such a thing.
Just as everyone was discussing the Ling YI Society's strength, two women walked out of Ling Yi's Residence. The appearance of these two women immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.
Not only was one female Elementalist so beautiful and elegant that she could rival the Ling YI Society's Gentle Snow, but also the Guild Emblems they wore. Not only were they Mysterious-Iron rank Guild Emblems, but they also emitted a dark-purple glow. Only the top ten core members of the Guild could wear these Guild Emblems.
In the Ling YI Society, the Guild Emblems of ordinary members did not have any glow effect. However, after becoming an elite member, the Guild Emblems would glow a light blue. After becoming a core member, the Guild Emblems would glow a light purple. Only the top ten experts of their respective classes would glow a dark-purple.
The Guild's class rankings were based on the Guild's contributions and combat power. They were very credible.
Yet, the beautiful woman before them wore a dark-purple Guild Emblems. Her position in the Ling YI Society was definitely equivalent to that of an upper echelon.
Meanwhile, these two women were none other than Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo.
When Melody saw the commotion Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo caused, she could not help but sigh.
Previously, she had only casually helped Thoughtful Rain in a neutral map, which was how she had met the Swordsman. Back then, she had noticed how powerful the Swordsman was, so she had wanted to recruit the Swordsman to Ninth Heaven. However, looking at it now, it would seem that her thoughts had been laughable.
"Rain, what's your Guild Leader's intention?" Melody asked anxiously when she saw Thoughtful Rain approaching.
"Big Sis Melody, rest assured. I've already spoken with the Guild Leader, and he's willing to talk," Thoughtful Rain said, smiling. "The Guild Leader is waiting for you in his office. I'll take you there."
"Your Guild Leader is willing to talk?" Melody breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Thoughtful Rain's words.
She hadn't had much of an understanding of the Ling YI Society before, but now that she had met the Ling YI Society and understood just how powerful it was, she understood that meeting the Guild Leader of the Ling YI Society would be extremely difficult. For an upstart Guild like hers, which could rival second-rate Guilds, it would be even more difficult.
Moreover, before meeting with Thoughtful Rain, she had approached several first-rate Guilds. However, upon hearing that this matter was related to the Death God Workshop, none of them had bothered to meet her. Only the Setting Sun Guild had turned her down.
Following which, Thoughtful Rain led Melody's group into Ling Yi's Guild Hall under everyone's watchful eyes.
Currently, the Guild Hall was extraordinarily lively. A large number of Guild experts had returned to the Residence and were making preparations for their trip to the Otherworld Gate. There were over 200 Tier 2 experts in the first-floor hall, shocking Melody's group of three.
More than 200 Tier 2 experts were several times more than what Ninth Heaven had. Moreover, this was only one of the Ling YI Society's branches. Even first-rate Guilds couldn't compare to such a force.
A short moment later, Thoughtful Rain led Melody's group of three to the Guild Leader's office on the top floor.
Currently, several dozen Level 56-plus Tier 2 experts were waiting outside the Guild Leader's office. These experts were from the various adventurer teams. Even in first-rate Guilds, these experts would be top-tier existences, yet they sat quietly in the hallway as if they were waiting for some kind of judgment. The hallway was silent.
However, Thoughtful Rain ignored these people and led Melody's group into the Guild Leader's office.
As soon as Melody's group entered the Guild Leader's office, they felt an indescribable pressure.
This pressure didn't come from Shifeng, who sat in the Guild Leader's office. Instead, it came from Ke Le and the others, who stood beside Shifeng. When Melody's group of three saw the levels displayed by Ke Le and the others, they were even more speechless.
Including Ke Le, four of these people had already reached Level 60, while the weakest among them was Level 59. They were one level higher than Forest City's highest-leveled player, Level 58.
"You're here. I've already heard from Siyu about your situation. If you want our Ling YI Society to help you, we won't have any problems. However, our Ling YI Society's condition is two Shops in Forest City's central district. What do you think?" Shifeng asked as he looked at Melody, who had just entered the room.
"Two Shops in the central district?" Melody breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She had thought that Shifeng would demand an exorbitant price, but he had only asked for one more Shop than the one she had planned to trade. "Alright, that won't be a problem. However, may I know when President Hei Yan intends to resolve the matter regarding the Death God Workshop?"
The Death God Workshop's matter could be serious. The longer this matter dragged on, the more severe Ninth Heaven's losses would be. However, dealing with the Death God Workshop would not be easy. They would need some time to prepare. Hence, it was important for her to have a clear timeline.
"Once we've signed the contract, Ke Le and the others will accompany you to Forest City to resolve the matter," Shifeng said.
"How many people are going to resolve the matter?" Half-arm Rashomon's eyes widened in shock. He then turned to look at Ke Le and the others. For some reason, he felt that Shifeng was being very perfunctory about this matter. Either that, or he didn't understand the Death God Workshop at all.
After all was said and done, the Death God Workshop had several hundred members, and every one of them was an expert. Moreover, the Workshop moved from place to place. How could Ke Le and the others possibly deal with the Death God Workshop by themselves?
If the Death God Workshop were that simple, they wouldn't have needed to seek help from so many experts.
"President Hei Yan, the Death God Workshop is very powerful. It likes to engage in guerilla warfare against Guilds. Even superpowers turn a blind eye to the Workshop's actions. I'm afraid that …" Melody warned.
"Relax. Ke Le and the others will be more than enough. If not, I'll think of something else," Shifeng said, chuckling. "If there are no problems, let's sign the contract."
