Boyle Rand, who was an Epic Temple Knight, did not stay at the City of Dawn for long. He took some wine before leaving.
But before he departed, William had a good discussion with him as both of them had good political knowledge. They had discussed how to defeat the dark creatures and maintenance of Light and order.
“Let me take a look at the goodies.” William was the only victor in the Darkness Invasion, so he would definitely be rewarded.
The leaders of the Legendary continent would not unnecessarily expose themselves. The Temple of Light would be their spokesman.
Therefore, William opened the 20 x 20 x 20 meter space ring. His eyes widened at the sight.
There were 3,000,000 gold coins.
And 1,000,000 silver coins.
The ring also had 3,000 magical stones.
And 300 magical crystals.
But, those were only the tip of the iceberg.
The important things were the following diagrams.
There were 6x Advanced cannon construction blueprints.
And 5x gunpowder creation diagrams.
There was also knowledge on the Cannon Gunner occupation inheritance x4 (Middle, Advanced, Grandmaster, and Epic)
10x construction diagrams for the magical equipment of the Cannon Gunners were also provided.
“This is the real deal. This is awesome.” William was exhilarated. The value of the Advanced cannon was invaluable, especially when the construction diagrams had been rewarded by the Temple of Light.
The City of Dawn would be able to use these strategic weapons officially in battles!
There were six construction diagrams for the Advanced fire cannon, so six blacksmiths could learn the construction methods. The five construction diagrams for gunpowder could be learned by those with the appropriate sub-occupations.
Four suitable professionals had to be chosen for the 4x Cannon Gunner’s inheritance.
Ten blacksmiths could also learn the construction diagrams for creating the magical equipment of Cannon Gunners.
“I’ve made a huge profit for repulsing the Darkness Invasion.” After obtaining the reward, many ideas started to come in William’s mind.
It was because now he could excavate the niter and sulfur ores that he knew about without any worries.
The creation of the gunpowder was simple.
Gunpowder was composed of niter, sulfur, and charcoal!
The sulfur ores produced both sulfur and sulphuric acid.
These items were valuable and indispensable for creating massive energy.
And it was not necessary for Cannon Gunners to make use of magical equipment.
Most of the Beginner and Intermediate Cannon Gunners made use of gunpowder for the cannons.
The Cannon Gunners did not have to worry about the power and range of this type of cannon.
Of course, the composition of gunpowder and cannon quality played a huge part in the performance.
“The real value of a Cannon Gunner shows when he has attained the Advanced, is rich, and possesses sufficient battle energy. Only then the full potential of a Cannon Gunner can be fully utilized.” In William’s previous life, he had wanted to create an alternate account to experience the Cannon Gunner occupation.
This occupation was awesome, but it required a lot of magical crystals and money to sustain.
The magical equipment was very expensive. Only the rich players could afford them.
The long rifles and cannons that used magical crystals were not affordable to commoners.
“The number of players is large, so there is no lack of rich players.” William mischievously laughed. In the game Gods, the player population had increased. In the latter part of version 2.0, the Chinese players breached 800,000. Most of them were new players.
The vulnerable new players provided good target practice for the Cannon Gunners.
“That’s decided. After excavating the niter and sulfur ores, I’ll set up the Cannon Gunner occupation at the occupation hall. It’s not the time to produce the magical equipment yet, but the gunpowder equipment is required.” William happily gave out the production diagrams to the blacksmiths.
As for inheriting Cannon Gunner occupation, William had to first choose the NPCs with good bloodlines from the new recruits.
Then, they would be instructed in the occupation hall instead of fighting in battles.
At the same time, the golden-haired Odom, who was carrying his hammer, came to look for William.
“Your Royal Highness, the secret of the diagram is unlocked.”
“What diagram?” William was befuddled. He had been discussing with Old Hank when he was interrupted. After Old Hank had learned the blueprints, he had to produce guns for William to test them.
The guns were categorized into handguns, rifles, and machine-guns.
These weapons could be used by everyone.
Was there a difference between a normal person and a sharpshooter?
William was rich. He was different from last time. He was loaded…
“I meant Goethe Nasis’s diagram,” Odom licked his lips. It was as though he had discovered a big secret.
“Oh, fill me up.” “Take a look. It’s not an equipment diagram. It’s an incomplete map made up of words and symbols.” Odom passed the diagram to William.
William examined it in his hands.
(Prompt: You have obtained the incomplete map (1/4) pertaining to the ‘blood essence of the Blood Dragon’]
[Prompt: You can present this diagram to Emerald Grand Duchy in exchange for an increase in affinity points]
[Prompt: You can choose to assemble the incomplete maps. The mission is rated S level.]
“Have I triggered the main plot of Emerald Grand Duchy now?” William scrutinized the map as he pondered his decision.
In version 3.0, Fresh Crimson Blood!
All the missions were centered around the ‘blood essence of the Blood Dragon’.
The crucial items were the incomplete maps.
There were four pieces of the map. In his previous life, one had been in Augustine’s possession, while the three other pieces were in different hands.
“That time, Augustine hadn’t died. Instead, it was Goethe Nasis. So it’s logical for Augustine to have been in possession of the map.
“But Augustine had not kept the map. He passed it to the Blood Race in exchange for more resources and for the expansion of the Freedom Alliance.” William knew the character of Augustine or Burned Cinder.
Augustine would not let go of the treasure that was in his grasp.
After the death of Goethe Nasis, Augustine rapidly developed. Even though he was cautious, he would never fail to take calculated risks.
At the beginning of version 3.0, Augustine appeared a few times in Emerald Grand Duchy before leaving.
He knew the true capability of the Blood Race very well.
William also knew about the Blood Race. With his new stronger capability, William did not want to lose this precious treasure.
The blood essence that was indicated on the map could be the blood essence of the Blood Dragon in the first or second era.
What would that mean?
That could be the blood essence of a Dragon at the sage or Legendary level!
The value of the blood was extraordinary.
The Blood Race wanted to have the blood essence to increase their power.
Even though Legendary bloodline was the highest limit, all top-notch NPCs wanted to increase their endowments, skills, and permanent attributes.
To another Dragon, the blood essence of a Dragon was a supertonic.
If William could obtain the ‘Blood essence of the Blood Dragon’, then his Dusk Dragon could level up rapidly!
Even if the Dusk Dragon did not become an adult, it was still worth it if he could become a youth Dragon.
What if William were to drink the blood essence?
William did not want to do that…
He was not interested in becoming a vampire.
Although a vampire had powerful capabilities that could control his adversaries, William preferred to be an Elf…
Oh!
More importantly, the Elven race was more appealing than the Blood Race!
