Chapter 550 - The Moonstone and the Realms Elite (1) (2/2)

“Sit, please,” said Link with a smile.

Elin was a bit nervous. Right now, Link was the Lord of Ferde and a Legendary master whose name was known far and wide across the continent. His every word and action determined the fate of her entire race. Though Link had spoken casually to her, Elin sat straight in one of the chairs in a corner, not daring to act casually in his presence like before.

Link proceeded to tell her everything he had read from Kanorse’s letter. He then said, “Elin, bring this news to your Chancellor. Tell him not to let his guard down and keep a tight leash on the Yabba people.

Elin was taken aback. Her gemstone-like eyes widened. She then asked Link worriedly, “Lord, do you suspect that Blue Stone Isle is illegally exporting their magical weapons?”

Elin was confident that Blue Stone Isle would never do such a thing, but it did not matter what she thought. Link did not trust the Yabba people. This was the sad truth of living under someone else’s roof. No matter how generous their master might seem, they were still no more than guests in his domain.

Seeing the taut smile on her face and her two hands squeezed into fists, Link sighed inwardly. He spoke gently, “I trust you, but the hearts of the common folk can be easily swayed. A thousand miles from here, the Warriors of Orida Fortress have watched their comrades be slaughtered by the same magical weapons being sold from Blue Stone Isle. Tensions are running high there right now. I just don’t want to give the soldiers there any more reason to channel their discontent towards Blue Stone Isle. Do you understand?”

Elin understood what Link had meant. She sighed and nodded at him. “I’ll pass on your message to the Craftsmen’s Guild.”

“You can go now. Tell the Chancellor on my behalf that we’re still friends!”

“I will.” Elin gave Link a bow. She then turned around and left the room.

After a moment of silence, Link decided that he would pay the Golden Plains a visit in the near future.

Link was on good terms with the Glorious Warlord Avatar and the Sky Shattering Warlord Holun. Since the Storm Warlord had joined forces with the Army of Destruction, Link thought he might as well help Orida Fortress receive Avatar’s aid.

Link decided to make this trip to the Golden Plains by himself.

The reason was simple: things had been quite tense between him and the High Elves. With all kinds of spatial spells at his disposal, Link would be able to see things through without much fuss if he were to venture out alone without anyone else holding him down.

Still, this was a risky affair. He was still not at his full strength.

I used up all of my strength when going up against the World Impaler. I probably won’t survive another encounter with Ariel, especially if she brings her friends around next time. I need to become stronger, he thought.

At this, Link took out the moonstone again.

There were many factors affecting a person’s power level. Everyone’s case was different, but the purity of a person’s power was a common factor. Though Link’s power was called Flawless Dragon Power, he had recently begun to feel the effects of the impurity of one’s power.

There were two effects Link had felt. Firstly, his Dragon Power was unable to cope with the strain of his research of higher-level Legendary spells. Secondly, his Dragon Power was now increasing at a noticeably slower rate.

The winds of change were now blowing through the continent of Firuman. Masters were popping up everywhere, but still Link felt that his power had already hit a high point.

As of now, he had a maximum of 17,300 Dragon Power points and 500 Omni Points. In total, he had 17,800 points. To reach Level-12, he needed at least 25,000 Dragon Power points. At his current rate, Link estimated that he would need another two years to reach Level-12.

He could not wait that long.

In the game world, geniuses like Eliard, Ariel, Annie, Kanorse and the others had probably received the realm’s blessing after reaching Legendary. The increase of their power level did not slow down one bit. For example, after reaching Legendary, Eliard was able to hit Level-19 in six years.

Link shuddered at the thought of how fast Eliard had managed to level up.

This was where this piece of moonstone would come in handy.
