Chapter 295 - Seed Contestants and God’s Reincarnation (1/2)
After obtaining the Thunder equipment set, William stayed in the Temple of Light for a few days and networked with a few powerful figures. Then, he bade farewell to Lancelot and returned to the City of Dawn.
He felt relieved after seeing the familiar city and the soldiers and commoners who revered him.
William knew that his deed of pilfering the box went unnoticed. He had purposely exhibited the box to the Temple Knights. He also wore the Rune equipment and walked around the Temple of Light a few times, greeting many visitors.
It made it clear that the leaders of the Temple of Light did not know about this rune equipment.
Or perhaps, they knew about it but did not care.
Since the equipment set was limited to the Grandmaster level, perhaps, they did not give it much importance.
But William had an idea!
He arrived at the fortune-telling hut.
William did not knock on the door. He pushed the door and entered within.
Moses was sitting on his executive chair, cuddling the kitten. Now that the players had gone missing, he did not need to hide in his alternate dimension to conduct experiments.
William cut to the chase and immediately asked, “Do you know how to create rune equipment?”
Moses knitted his brows.
“What’s that? Are you asking me to create a piece of rune equipment for you? Bah!”
Impossible!
Moses hesitated for a long time before nodding. “Yes.”
W
“That’s good. Since you know how to create the rune equipment, you’ll definitely know how to remove it. Once my equipment is used up, help me remove it…” William frowned. Once the rune equipment fused into his body, it would be hard to remove. He had to find a mage who could create rune equipment.
Moses opened his mouth and wanted to curse, but he stopped and asked, “Where did you get the rune equipment?”
“I picked it up from a flower vase in the Temple of Light.”
“Are you telling the truth?” Moses did not trust William. How could he just pick up a piece of rune equipment?
“It will be too costly for you!”
“Is there anything else? If not, scram.”
William looked at Moses, who was in a foul mood and chose to leave. Perhaps, Moses’ seal was about to be removed due to the magic resurgence, that was why his temper had become worse.
According to the events in his previous life…
Moses would remove his seal before game version 3.0 started. Within a short period of time, he would become the legendary all-rounded Enchanter.
“Hmm, how long have I been here since I had transmigrated? Three years? Or two and a half years…”
“Hmm, that’s right. I’m a legendary student who had been training for two and a half years. I will get to witness the seal removal of an all-rounded Enchanter.” William knew that once Moses removed his seal, he would leave and take vengeance on the Magic Sanctuary.
But William was at his wits’ end. He had no reason and was unable to stop Moses.
He wanted to help Moses, but he was not capable enough…
His presence would make matters worse. Any enemy enchanter could easily defeat William and use him as a hostage against Moses.
However, William did not know if him being a hostage would change Moses’ decision.
But it was very obvious.
Once Moses departed, he would break all ties with the City of Dawn.
Moses closed his eyes slowly as he watched William leave. His seal was about to be removed in a short while.
Just three more months more.
Moses’ brows knitted tightly, as he contemplated.
Time passed.
Only one month remained before the version upgrade. The news of the Magic Conference was conveyed to the large continent by the top four power centers.
The news created a storm. The situation was as if a meteor had fallen into the ocean. Everyone was excited. It attracted a lot of attention, and many professionals participated in the event.
The Magic Conference had four categories: North, South, East, and West.
Each category was further divided into three levels: Intermediate, Advanced, and Grandmaster.
The age of the participants for the Intermediate professional was younger than
23.
For the Advanced professional, the participants had to be younger than 30, and for the Grandmaster professional, the upper age limit was 50.
Of course, there were different ways of calculating the age of various races.
It was not feasible to compare the age of the Elves to Humans…
The location of the southern category of the competition did not lie in any country. Instead, it was situated on an island owned by the Temple of Light.
“Aren’t you going for the Magic Conference?”
“I can’t. Even though we’re both Advanced professionals, Prince William had become an Advanced professional earlier. How can we defeat Prince William?” Many professionals of the City of Dawn were busy discussing the Magic Conference.
Advanced professionals were no longer rare, and their numbers rapidly increased.
When the players would return to the game, they would be in for a shock.
With the resurgence of magic and after William obtained numerous magical stones from the Moonlight Elves’ treasure vault, his confidantes who had been training at Stormy Island for a long time were close to attaining the Advanced level.
William noticed that many of his subordinates were catching up with him.
He was getting worried, but the Magic Conference was a good opportunity for him to upgrade to the Grandmaster level.
If he was able to clinch the top spots, he would be awarded S+ missions. The rewards would be generous.
The City of Dawn was sending the following contestants: William, Burned Cinder, Annie, Diablo, and Alec.
Although Xiyan, Lautner, Odom, and Violent Dragon were all legendary BOSSES, they were either not interested in the contest or over the age limit…
William headed to the Temple of Light within the city to register for the competition.
“Five registrations for the contest.” William placed 500 gold coins on the table.
“Lord William?” When the registration professional noticed William, he did not dare to accept the money. He just smiled. “It’s free. Lord William is fighting for the City of Dawn, so we are not charging for the registrations.”
“By the way, who will be taking part? I’ll take note of their names.”
William took back his money pouch and provided the names.
“These are the five registration tokens. Please keep them carefully, Lord William.”
