They slept in the princess’ bedroom.
Yes, from night till the sun rose.
They did not say anything. William had left the Thunder Essence here as Annie had promised him that she would personally create an Advanced weapon and use the essence.
Subsequently, when William opened the door and was about to leave, he saw Arthur. He had dark eye circles and red eyes.
The prince rubbed the saliva at the corner of his mouth and stretched comfortably. He had slept very well.
But Arthur felt so unjustly treated that he wanted to cry…
He had stayed up all night…
He had been awake the whole night…
But at that moment, a major change seemed to occur in his mind. He sighed deeply. Then, he silently sat down and started to train.
He wanted to become strong!
He wanted to become very strong. William had advanced to an Advanced. He did not want to fall behind, and his desires were to become even stronger than William.
He had decided. He would become an outstanding knight!
He only hoped that after Annie read William’s mind, she would see that he was waiting for her!
Meanwhile, Old Band returned to the City of Dawn. But this time, there was a Blackleaf elf beside him!
“Hm? Is it a Druid?” William was slightly shocked. The Druid was a hidden occupation in the world of the Gods. Only some elves had some special endowments that allowed them to learn this occupation.
Of course, players did not face many limitations, but specialization missions would still be very difficult. It was worth mentioning that the players might not get the chance to encounter this kind of NPC.
“Sorimas.” Old Band pointed at the middle-aged male elf beside him. He sighed with emotion. “He is my old friend from Blackleaf forest. He is now planning to join the City of Dawn. Master, would you allow this?”
William used his insight.
[Sorimas (Epic)]
[Level: ???]
[Position Level: Grandmaster]
[Occupation: Druid]
[Occupation: Herb studies, Pharmacist.]
[Health: ???]
“What? Two sub-occupations. Brother, you are impressive.” William gasped in shock. Sorimas was not a simple person.
He had learned two lifestyle sub-occupations, and he was even a Grandmaster pharmacist. He had definitely spent a lot of time and energy. William couldn’t assess how old this person was.
Of course, NPCs and players were different. Players depended on experience, while NPCs depended on their individual endowments.
For example, if an all-rounded enchanter like Moses depended on experience to level up, he would have to train for ten thousand years, right?
Thus, NPCs could not be compared to players.
Furthermore, NPCs could do things that players could not. They could even do them easily.
“Of course, he is welcome. But Sorimas, what plans do you have after joining the City of Dawn?” William was curious about his intentions.
Sorimas held a green staff in his hand. He thought about it and said, “I will develop the Druids and will promote the harmonious relationship between nature and humans. At the same time, I will also research potions. Lord, if you have any magic herbs, you can pass them to me. I will help you turn them into even more effective herbs.
Old Band saw that Sorimas was very frank, and he became slightly annoyed. He quickly helped by explaining. “Master, my old friend is very blunt. But he is a master at creating herbs. If you give the Marsh Flowers you have gathered to him, he will be able to develop even better results.”
“Oh?” William picked his eyebrows.
“Prince William was from the Dark Night City. I am the same. You should know that the pharmacists in Dark Night City are not those ordinary Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced level pharmacists. There are hundreds of Master and even Grandmaster pharmacists…”
William saw that he had a helpless expression on his face. He immediately understood. There were not enough resources!
What kind of place was Dark Night City?
It was a gathering spot for thousand-year-old monsters…
Putting aside their main occupations and combat power.
Their sub-occupations, in which they had trained for thousands of years, were ridiculous. Thus, Sorimas, who seemed like a rather young elf, did not have many resources…
After all, if he wanted herbs, wouldn’t it be better to look someplace other than where those thousand-year-old monsters lived?
It was very difficult to find elves above the age of 1000 at the border of the Blackleaf forest, or even in the heart of the city.
But in Dark Night City, if you picked and held the hand of a ‘young girl’, in reality, it might be a thousand-year-old granny…
William seemed to get his problem and nodded. “I understand. But the City of Dawn has its own rules. I can do my best to find various herbs, magical plants, and magical trees for your research. But after you become a Grandmaster pharmacist, you will not leave just like that, right?”
Sorimas smiled naturally. “Royal Highness, do not worry. I came here not just to increase my pharmacy skills, but to spread some Druid-related teachings.”
“In particular, I heard that the chosen ones have strong learning abilities. They seem very useful to help promote the Druids.”
“So be it. From now on, you will be the chief pharmacist of the City of Dawn.” William sent Sorimas away. After a few minutes of thought, he led Old Band through the teleportation portal, frustrated.
This was a conspiracy!
It was definitely a conspiracy.
Or, it could also be said that…
Someone had treated him as a pawn!
Someone had started to invest in him!
And Sorimas, who seemed to have come to seek refuge with him, might be one of the investor’s pawns.
When William saw Sorimas, a few things had immediately come to his mind.
He knew that he was dispensable to the Blackleaf elves!
Why?
He was an unneeded pawn. He could not even compare to a pawn.
Only his mother, whom he could not meet, cared about him. However, she had been banished.
But Sorimas’ sudden appearance was definitely not that simple.
William was not a child. He would not easily believe Sorimas’ words.
His sub-occupation had reached the Grandmaster level. Unless he was a genius, he would have to train for a very long time.
Elves had perfected training for long hours. It was not as simple as not having enough resources.
Then, who had sent Sorimas?
Who wanted to invest in him?
Why did they want to invest in him now?
Perhaps there was one explanation!
Someone knew that the Darkness invasion was going to occur. That person had sent a person to support him and resist the attacks by the Darkness invasion.
But the investor did not plan on attacking. Based on Sorimas’ attitude, he was here to spread the Druid teachings and make herbs.
Thus, just having a pharmacist would definitely not be enough. Perhaps even more messengers would appear in the future. If a Blackleaf elf over level 100 used various means to join the City of Dawn, it would mean that William’s guess was right!
After all, there were signs that the Darkness invasion was about to occur.
Soon, Devil’s Dens would appear in various places on the Legendary continent, and dark creatures would be found everywhere…
If some experts paid attention to their exploration, they would definitely discover some problems.
Of course, those experts might not know the main spot where the Darkness invasion would break out. It would be the Moonlight Island in the middle of the Legendary continent.
No one could predict that the protagonist of the Darkness invasion would be the current Moonlight Elf King!
But spirits started to appear everywhere, and they had no intention of hiding. They were found in all nine continents.
Some saints on the Legendary continent sensed that the deities were about to descend to the human world. Naturally, they started to take action. No matter whether it was to become the protagonist of the fourth era, or to become a deity, they were secretly making the world spin.
“Everyone is making their move. Only the city lord is a pawn…” William sighed. This was the situation. Neither could he resist this, nor could he jump out of the situation. For now, he did not have the ability to turn the tables. He could only endure.
But no matter who was investing in him, William was sure that that person thought highly of him. That person had realized his positive qualities. For example, he was very handsome…
Ahem!
Either way, that person wanted to disrupt the Blackleaf elves!
“Investing in me to become the king of the Blackleaf elves?” William Blackleaf could not help but think. For now, it was not possible. The king of the Blackleaf elves did not die of old age. In the future, he would be killed in the story. Even a saint would not be able to arrange this.
The future could not be predicted.
Unless the saints took killing into their own hands.
In particular, the king of the Blackleaf elves was not weak…
He had been a Legendary expert who was about to advance to the saint level. He was very fierce.
As for why there was the idea of investment—
In his previous life, William had encountered many story protagonists who had powers they should not have. This proved that some bosses were investing in these geniuses!
Thus, it was not hard to understand how William thought about this!
The duo once again had come to Stormy Island.
Old Band did not know what William was thinking. He simply wanted to enter the dimension vortex. As for Sorimas, who he had only met a few times, he was too lazy to think about why he wanted to join the City of Dawn.
But he had to give him some face.
Sorimas had thought about his introduction to enter the City of Dawn. Of course, Old Band would not reject him…
As for whether there would be any demerits in Sorimas joining the City of Dawn?
Old Band had given serious thought to it, and he determined that there would not be any demerits!
Firstly, William had royal blood. Even if he was a half-elf, any Blackleaf elf who wanted to attack him would have to think about the consequences.
Secondly, the enchanter in the City of Dawn was not blind!
Thirdly, if William’s human father was not dead, and he managed to figure out the mastermind after he returned, they would be in luck.
The campsite at Stormy Island was still under construction. It was developing into a small town. William was willing to see this.
After all, the magic here was much stronger. For a professional, this place was much suited to living than the City of Dawn.
William also wanted to allow the entire legion to train here. He would also develop this place into his own backyard.
“What about Burned Cinder and Lautner?” William looked at Nox, who had come to welcome him, and asked.
“They are in seclusion.”
“Tell them that after they are done, regardless of whether they have achieved the Advanced or not, they are to head towards the route in the south. On the way, if the magical beasts do not cause any trouble, then don’t care about them. If any magical beasts are trying to look for death, let them deal with it.” William left behind a map leading towards Storm Lake. He did not have to care much. If he did, if the Lord personally attended to everything, he would be exhausted to death…
Old Band looked at William. He could not help but ask, “Then shall we go?”
“Let’s go!”
“That’s right. If the dimension vortex suddenly disappears when we enter, I cannot stop it!” After Old Band finished speaking, he suddenly closed his mouth.
William widened his eyes. He wanted to ask. Brother, how much luck did you have?
Would the average of your luck and my 3 points be a single-digit number?
Did you have to dig your own grave?
