Chapter 393 – Divine Promotion (1/2)

In terms of strength, Fatty wasn’t a match for the azure tree, but in terms of escape speed, it was absolutely the other way around. In less than five minutes, Fatty used Accelerate in addition to Earthwalk and vanished without a trace, leaving behind the azure tree monster roaring in rage and wildly attacking, causing a calamity upon the monsters in Azure Dragon Mountain.

Entering Azure Dragon City, Fatty found a quiet place and had the Elemental Skill Book devour the Origin of Wood. After a burst of emerald light, wood energy began to appear in the Elemental Mystery Realm, next to the original fire and water energy.

The fiery red fire element, deep blue water element, and emerald green wood element now each occupied territory with clear boundaries. Although in terms of total mass, the fire energy was more than that of wood and water combined, the three could still be considered a tripartite balance instead of fire being the only dominant factor.

At this point, it was only lacking the metal and earth origins. If they could be found and absorbed by the Elemental Skill Book, then the Elemental Mystery Realm would be completely restored, and the Elemental Skill Book and Sword Diagram would return to being the Legendary artifacts they were before.

Moreover, with abundant elemental energy backing him, Fatty would have no trouble using the magic spells in the book. When that time came, no matter who he faced, throwing a steady stream of magic attacks could surely smash the opponent to death.

Azure Dragon City looked busy. Not only players but even NPCs had also started training hard to prepare for the moment that the war with the Demon race officially began.

“Since City Lord Money Grubber is here, why don't you come and have a drink with me?” Fatty was preparing to leave Azure Dragon City when a voice directly transmitted to his ears. He didn't see anyone, but he knew who it belonged to.

When Fatty stepped into the city lord manor, Lei Ao was sitting in the hall drinking tea. Dispensing with courtesy, Fatty came over and poured himself a cup before sitting down on a chair, waiting for Lei Ao to speak.

In a manner, Lei Ao and Lin Xi were peas in a pod. They wouldn’t be early without benefits and wouldn’t spare anything a second glance if it wasn’t of benefit. Since Lei Ao suddenly called him over, Fatty had no doubt that the guy had something that he wanted him to do.

After finishing a cup of tea, Lei Ao still didn't speak. Fatty couldn't help it and said, “I say, Your Lordship, if there’s anything you want to have this little me do, you can say it now, or I'm taking my leave.”

Placing the cup on the table, Lei Ao shook his head. “If anything, you are also a city lord now. Why are you still acting like such a scoundrel?”

Fatty pouted. “Oh please, say quickly if you have something. I'm still very busy here.”

Lei Ao wryly shook his head. He poured all the tea leaves in the cup into his mouth, chewed them for a while and swallowed before slowly saying, “I know you are collecting elemental origins to repair the Elemental Mystery Realm. Let’s make a deal.”

“What kind of deal?” Fatty squinted. He knew it was never easy to make a deal with an old fox like Lei Ao.

“I'll help you get the Origin of Metal, and when all the experts unite to get the Source Origin, I want a share.” The cup went round and round in Lei Ao's hand as the city lord looked at Fatty, waiting for his answer.

“The experts? Who are they?” The Source Origin was right inside Sky City, but there was nothing Fatty could do to it, otherwise, he wouldn't have to go everywhere to seek elemental origins. Now that he heard someone was setting their eyes on the Source Origin, he immediately was on his toes.

“At that time, someone will find you. Just don't forget me.” Lei Ao flung out a tiny sword just over half an inch long. The sword was golden in color, emitting extremely sharp sword intent that could cut space into pieces.

Origin of Metal. Fatty's eyes were instantly focused. He summoned the Elemental Skill Book then grabbed the golden sword and smacked it onto the book.

Countless sword auras shot into the sky as an illusory but murderous longsword flew out from the Elemental Skill Book and rotated around Fatty in a sonorous metallic hum.

Inside the Elemental Mystery Realm, huge golden swords emerged from the ground with their tips pointing upwards, releasing sharp intent that could pierce through space.

The Elemental Skill Book slightly shook before it returned to normal as the sword intent disappeared. Stowing the book, Fatty nodded. “If there will be such a time, I’ll make sure to invite City Lord Lei. After all, we are all of the Xuanhuang family.”

Everyone knew full well in their hearts the credibility of this so-called ‘family.’ Seeing Lei Ao nod and pick up his teacup, Fatty tactfully got up to leave.

The trip to Azure Dragon City had not only earned Fatty the Origin of Wood, but also the Origin of Metal. Now, only earth was left, which made Fatty think of Black Tortoise City.

“The Origin of Earth? There is, yes.” Lin Xi fiddled with the Doomsday Ice Staff for a long while before he continued, “What will you give for it?”

Fatty was speechless, this Lin Xi was really a direct one.

Looking at Fatty's eye-rolling expression, Lin Xi smiled. “I guess you don’t have anything good on you anyway. How about this, if you help me get another Divine artifact, I’ll give you the Origin of Earth.”

Fatty couldn't help but shout, “City Lord Lin, don't forget you still owe me four conditions!”

In order to get the Dragon Revolution Herb from Fatty, Lin Xi had promised him four conditions. However, Fatty hadn’t used any.

Lin Xi blinked. “Do I?”

Fatty sneered. “You tell me.”

With a sigh, Lin Xi took out something in the shape of a mountain peak. This miniature mountain was less than three inches tall with yellow smoke around it. From the way Lin Xi looked when holding it, the object seemed very heavy.

Lin Xi handed it to Fatty with a fake smile. Fatty reached out to receive it, only to feel like a real mountain had suddenly weighed down on him. His whole body dropped and his shoulders emitted a bang – dislocated.
