Chapter 291: Chapter 280: The Fourth Tier “Black Knight
Darren continued, “Our plan is this: you Winged Folk will ‘secretly transport’ a Forbidden rare artifact, pretending to want to trade it with us Cyart people.”
“Then, our trade ‘accidentally’ leaks out, which will lure the Sea God Cult to plunder this important Forbidden rare artifact.”
The Winged Folk seemed contemplative, offering no reply.
He paused for a moment and continued with a laugh:
“Right, to ensure that we draw out the Sea God Cult, the Forbidden rare artifact must be a triple-digit numbered treasure, and you’ll need to bring more Transmutation-level Extraordinary Exponents as escorts.”
“If it’s only a four-digit Forbidden rare artifact, it won’t be attractive enough, and if the escorting force is too weak, or too strong, it won’t be able to lure out that damned High Priest Sky Blue.”
The Winged Folk silently considered for a long time, gazing into Darren’s eyes, likely trying to determine if this Cyart person before them was trustworthy.
“Let me think… ”
Darren was very aware that the Winged Folk were far from foolish, their slow demeanor mainly due to the language barrier.
This race lived all over the Nine Seas, including a significant portion of the White Sea’s east coast belonging to the Winged Folk, while another large part was inhabited by the glacier inhabitants living around the great glaciers.
The “donut”-shaped great glacier split the Claud World in two, with the Ouden Continent inside the “donut,” and on the outside, three distinct foreign continents, each with their own customs and climate.
“Good, trust, cooperate.”
The Winged Folk nodded, their response stumbling and halting.
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha! That’s great!”
Darren, all smiles, wanted to embrace the other but was swiftly dodged, so he simply reached out to shake hands with the Winged Folk, and then they exchanged talismans that symbolized their alliance.
He narrowed his eyes and muttered, “Winged Folk, I hope our collaboration is pleasant.”
After that Winged Folk left the ship, the Fischer family’s steamboat didn’t immediately return to the port on the East Coast, instead heading to a nearby island.
“Next, we must complete the ‘Black Knight’s’ ascension ceremony.”
By now, Darren had completely mastered the Power of Consecution of the 3rd Rank.
He was about to perform the 4th Rank ritual of the Path of Shadow.
To ascend to a “Black Knight,” one must create enough slaughter, and the more powerful the target, the more complete the ceremony.
That island was under Sea God Cult’s influence, and thousands of natives there worshiped the Sea God, so taking their lives was a reasonable act for Darren.
