Chapter 73: The Crimson Scaled queror!
The four of them hurriedly walked along the path of fmes.
Mantou had a fawning smile on his face; he wao use his own abilities to recover the favorability that Singo had lost.
"Sir, is there anything you need us for by inviting us here? Just say the word, and I am absolutely willing to gh fire and water without hesitation!"
[Favorability -5.]
[【Mysterious Draic Bloodline Sorcerer - Cassius】's favorability towards you is -10 (Mild Dislike).]
Mantou's smile froze on his face.
"Why is it decreasing instead of increasing!"
"Damn, what's with this damn mysterious NPd all his problems?" he cursed inwardly.
Cassius's face showed a hint of imperceptible mockery; he thought to himself, "You think I don't know what you're like? You're definitely cursing me in your hearts right now."
But he calmly said aloud, "Fallen stars from unknown nds, I did not invite you here to listen to your nonsense."
[You have issued a quest to pyers 【I Go Eat Mantou】【Singo】【Summer Night Autumn Rain】【Born Battle Maniac】.]
Singo said suctly, "Please, go ahead."
The half-dragon Sorcerer looked down at everyone, exuding a powerful aura, his golden pupils fshing:
"Since you were born in Baator City, it is naturally the arra of the god of fate. Go and learn about the brief history here, or the loories about the Tieflings and the Ember ; you will make new discoveries."
Everyone's panels refreshed with a quest.
【Iigate the Story of the Tieflings】
Quest Description: This group of Tieflings, known as the "Devil's Offspring," did ninally belong here. They were once driven out and sughtered, but relying on astonishing willpower, they migrated here and, in just five years, established their own city in this monster-ied Storm Highnds. What exactly did they enter five years ago? And what caused them to migrate here and join the Ember ?
Quest Reward: +500 【Ember 】 Fa tribution
"So the reward is fa tribution."
Singo's voice was somewhat disappointed. sidering the other party was an important NPC, he forcefully swallowed the phrase "not even a dog would want it."
Even Born Battle Maniad Summer Night Autumn Rain were a bit disappoihey had read Singo's guide; fa tribution currently had no use, and although it might be signifit iure, at this early stage it's just ay promise.
"Wait... look at this!"
"Quick, check the shop interface!"
Mantou's voice trembled with excitement.
"Damn, what's gotten into you?"
Singo was startled by Mantou's sudden excmation, cursed, but still instinctively opehe interface.
[【Mysterious Draic Bloodline Sorcerer - Cassius】 has opened his personal shop to you.]
Uhe usual mert NPC's trading pahis high-css 【Mysterious Draic Bloodline Sorcerer - Cassius】's trading panel is divided into three modules: 【Adamantine Shop】, 【Mithril Shop】, and 【Ordinary Shop】.
The 【Ordinary Shop】 sold items no different from those ur merts—various iron swords, leather armor, potions, raw materials, food. Although numerous, nothing seemed special.
"What's this? I get more than that."
But as he looked further, Singo was also stunned, and after a long while, only uttered two words—
"Damn."
Starting from the Mithril Shop, the item interfaderwent a tremendous ge—there appeared 【Rare】 quality equipment that had never been seen sihe beta began, such as 【Whisper Greatsword】, 【Emerald Dragon Scale Sword】, 【Inid Wooden Staff】, 【Hunter's Longbow】.
Moreover, these equipments were dazzling, totaling over a hundred pieces! The interweaving magical glows made everyone dazzled.
Singo browsed through the equipment descriptioremely excited, muttering: "Whisper Greatsword, with Whisper Tree roots extending from the hilt, silehe target upon hit—aremely versatile early-game artifact. Dragon Scale Shield, es with anti-dragon aura—a core equipment specifically against dragon-type bosses. Hunter's Longbow, attach a Hunter's Mark to the oppo with one aim—my Bow Warrior's early graduation equipment."
But after looking at the prices below, his heart sank.
These equipments were mostly priced at dozens of gold s, and even those few 【Rare】 quality early-game divine equipments were priced at over a hundred gold s. Even a professional top pyer like him would find it hard to accumute so much; perhaps only those wealthy rge guilds could afford one or two pieces.
Actually, these overpriced equipments weren't prepared for solo pyers like Singo, but were specially released by Cassius to reap from the guilds.
But Singo also noticed the shop's description.
[【Mithril Shop】: Requires 【Ember 】 fa tribution of 3000 to unlock.]
Singo gasped: "Looks like I was wrong; fa tribution is so crucial!"
Cassius's golden eyes narrowed slightly, sneering inwardly: "Let you kid belittle my fa tribution, causing no oo take on the bor tasks, even needing to allocate funds to spend money; now you know how important it is!"
Cassius's status had risen from the hard-w borer of his previous life to the fa leader now, and naturally, his mentality ged with his status.
Now, as the boss, the only thing he wao do was to ruthlessly exploit the pyers: first squeeze a wave of gold s with the invitation, then squeeze a wave of bor with the fa tributioris.
As for buying equipment?
Pyers might say they could still grind out a few mold s; everyone could pool together, and the money could always be saved up.
What? You say you 't save enough?
At worst, you pay in installments—just a little i; as long as you persist in repaying every day. After all, he, Cassius, is not a devil, just an ordinary red dragon, still willing to fulfill every pyer's dream of acquiring divine equipment.
"Singo, take a look at the Adamantine Shop."
Mantou reminded him; his tone was already a bit numb.
Singo didn't bother with Mantou's way of addressing him and pulled up the panel.
[【Adamantine Shop】: Requires 【Ember 】 fa tribution of 10000 to unlock.]
Still the familiar fa tribution requirements.
But in the 【Adamantine Shop】, there weren't many items, only a few dispyed oerface, and they were all priced in fa tribution!
Singo stared ily at the descriptions of those few items.
"Dragon Blood Elixir, unlocks the Sorcerer subcss 【Draic Bloodline Sorcerer】 quest, price: 4500 fa tribution."
"This is... Crimson Scale, unlocks the Warrior advanced css 【Crimson Scaled queror】 quest, price: 9800 fa tribution."
【Crimson Scaled queror】

Css Description: When the dragon's roar es from afar, the Crimson Scaled querors will ride massive and ferocious Draic Bloodline creatures from the sky, bringing endless fmes and utter death to their enemies.
Mantou gritted his teeth, secretly making up his mind, his eyes showing unpreted determination: "No oop me; I want to bee a Dragon Knight!"
