Chapter 398 The 2 Million Fali That Came to Our Doorstep
Chapter 398 The Two Billion Fali That Came to Our Door
[Magic Power: 450 → 520 (D)]
A farce caused by jealousy came to an end. Roy never expected that he would use "Superior Transfer" so frequently because of this, which would lead to his magic attribute being tempered and improved to a higher level.
With the combined power of his previous breakthroughs, when he reached LV.7, he was already considered one of the best in terms of pure numerical values.
After a series of events, his abilities have been honed, and now he has a hidden full S-rank stat, with his Dexterity attribute reaching SSS. Combined with his superior transfer ability, he has an overwhelming first-strike advantage when facing enemies.
Roy swallowed the two pieces of immortal flesh that were exposed during the "Six Rings of Immortal Essence" incident in one gulp.
Congratulations on awakening the skill "Fairy Bloodline"!
[Celestial Bloodline: Enhances affinity with magic elements and automatically grants the development ability "Magic Guide," which is one level lower than the user's current level (currently D rank!)]
[Development Ability "Magic": When using magic, a magic circle is deployed, enhancing the magic's effect!]
Name: Roy Level: 7
Strength: 624→655 (C)
Endurance: 158→360 (F)
Dexterity: 1380 → 1398 (SSS)
Agility: 139 → 240 (G)
Magic Power: 520 → 823 (A)
Roy saw the changes in the ability stats panel.
The total ability value increased by 655, of which magic attribute accounted for 303, which shows how huge the improvement of spiritual power is by the immortal essence and flesh, and there are also new skills.
Enhances magic affinity, D-rank magician!
A hint of surprise flashed in Roy's eyes. This is incredible!
He was originally LV.7, which should correspond to a C-rank mage. The "magic" level he obtained was one level lower than his own, which is probably due to an incomplete fairy bloodline.
However, Roy was already very satisfied.
For thousands of years, only Alphia has honed his "magic" development ability to C-rank, which is one of the reasons why his magic is so terrifying. His D-rank magic is second only to that gray-haired witch!
The amplification of magic is terrifying!
If he had known these two pieces of immortal essence and flesh were so potent, he should have swallowed them long ago. Habitual thinking is harmful. Roy had previously shared a piece of immortal essence and flesh with Ryu and Chunji, and nothing happened. The other two awakened their skills mainly due to their own strong will.
That makes sense. The Heavenly Ox is merely a failed product of the Filthy Immortal Essence. The Filthy Immortal Essences that make up the Six Rings of Immortal Essence are all in their complete form, as are the LV.8 Evil Dragon. The flesh and blood that burst out from the two cannot be compared.
Roy ran into the instance world to test his skills.
The result thrilled him; his uninvoked magic, a casual lightning strike, was nearly as powerful as Alphia's Gospel Cannon.
The power of other spells has also been greatly increased.
The only downside is the transfer ability, which activates instantly and moves too quickly. If used urgently in battle, it doesn't benefit from the magic circle's amplification.
In terms of overall ability, no one can compare to Roy at the LV.7 level!
The Astrea Spring tribe is also thriving.
After a night's rest at the resort hotel, Roy recovered and immediately took his girls to a dungeon to grind their stats and max out their abilities.
Heading north to handle the "Dragon Visit Problem," they successfully defeated the Ice Age Floor Lord "Ymir," and most of the girls in the team completely accomplished their great feat.
The only thing missing is that the ability value hasn't reached its limit yet.
As Roy led them into a series of bizarre and unique dungeons—a post-apocalyptic wasteland of steel jungles, a deep and mysterious ruin permeated with ancient atmosphere—they faced all sorts of unpredictable monsters, from post-apocalyptic mechanical creations to ancient beasts.
"What exactly is this?"
Even seasoned veterans like Alexie, Kaguya, Maru, and Lyra were deeply shocked.
The four girls' beautiful faces rippled with obvious emotion; their pupils contracted, their delicate eyebrows arched upwards, and they stared at the unimaginable scene.
Especially after they hunted those monsters, their abilities increased by leaps and bounds, and their growth rate was far greater than before.
Within a few days, it reached the limit of that level!
They finally understood why Tione, Tiona, and the others leveled up so quickly—it was the truth behind Roy's ability to help others grow rapidly.
Just accomplish the great task; there's no need to worry about your ability stats!
The two are of different levels of difficulty.
The difficulty of achieving great things is undoubtedly higher, otherwise why would so many adventurers get stuck at this step? But challenging powerful enemies may allow for a faster completion.
As for ability points, they usually require a long period of training; even the most skilled people need several years!
For example, Leon, Tsubaki Corbrand, and Asphie, who followed the Astrea Familia to conquer the Underworld, remained at their original levels.
Their grand undertaking was already complete and ready for upgrades at any time, but they felt there was still room for improvement.
If Roy leads them through dungeons, they can save several months of time immediately.
Roy would never do that.
Now, Roy is no longer worried about his ability to travel between worlds being exposed, but he also doesn't want everyone to know, so he takes precautions in everything he does.
Astraea renews her grace for others.
Alisha, Kaguya, Maru, and Haruhime have been promoted to LV.5, while Lyra and Lefia have been promoted to LV.4.
Lefia levels up and awakens a new skill, "Double Pursuit," which allows her to store a spell after casting it and then continue casting other spells.
This skill allows Lefia to use two types of magic simultaneously, which, combined with the magic she learned from the Elf Ring, gives her a wide variety of tactical options.
Correspondingly, this skill consumes an extremely high amount of mental energy, second only to Roy's superior transfer.
In any case, she gained a new "weapon".
Ryu, Tione, Tiona, Daphne, and Cassandra all saw their stats improve.
Just as we were busy grinding through dungeons, a little incident occurred: two unexpected guests arrived.
Bell Craney!
Welf Crozzo!
"Wow!"
Bell dragged Welf along, and the latter half-heartedly agreed, as the two arrived at this luxurious resort. Like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, they were full of amazement.
Welf is a blacksmith who travels between two places: Orario and the workshops outside the city.
Bell had been in Orario for less than three months and had no chance to see those bustling areas.
Today was truly an eye-opening experience.
The Astrea Familia's property is the first in the world to integrate amusement parks, zoos, large shopping malls, and many other facilities!
The sheer variety of items was dazzling, making it difficult to take in everything.
While watching, Bell asked curiously, "Wilf, what happened between you and Mr. Roy?"
Every time he mentioned Roy, Welf's expression changed, and Bell could tell.
Upon hearing this name, Welf's lips twitched.
Welf was three years older than Bell, and after they met, he subtly took on the role of the elder or the older brother. How could he tell him that he had once had a training duel with Roy and was completely crushed by him? In the end, it was Roy who came up with the idea to have the goddess Hephaestus rescue him from the Kingdom of Lachia?
The forging was world-renowned, but most people's attention was focused on Roy and Chun Corbrand, while Welf was just a nobody.
It's normal that Bell didn't know.
The two arrived at a window seat in the hotel lobby, where there were sofas specifically for guests.
Swish!
Upon hearing of Bell's visit, a spatial ripple pattern appeared, and Roy appeared on the open ground nearby.
Spatial magic!
Bell and Welf were shocked and stared at Roy, who had suddenly appeared. They were stunned. Even though they had heard about it before, seeing it with their own eyes was another matter. There really was someone in the world who could awaken this kind of magic!
Roy sat down on the opposite sofa. "Bell, and Welf, it's been a while since we've seen each other."
Bell said happily, "Yes, Mr. Roy, I'm so sorry for the intrusion."
"I heard you defeated Valeta. That girl is tough to deal with. Well done!"
"Thanks to Mr. Roy's help!"
"???"
Welf looked at the two people talking with surprise.
When Bell told him that he knew Roy, Welf was somewhat incredulous because the difference in their status was too great. One was a top adventurer hailed as a miracle and admired worldwide, while the other was just a novice who had just become an adventurer.
Seeing this scene, Welf was completely convinced, thinking it was probably because of Hestia, after all, that goddess had helped Roy conquer the underworld.
It's only natural that Roy would take care of Bell.
Welf's viewpoint was no different from everyone else's, and it was exactly what Roy and Alphia wanted.
It must have been Bell who met Roy through Hestia, not the other way around, with Hestia taking in Bell through Roy.
They must not let anyone know about their relationship, and even more so, they must not let anyone associate it with Alphia.
This is the best way to protect Belle.
After exchanging pleasantries, Roy got straight to the point, "Bell, what brings you here today?"
"Oh, right!"
Bell snapped out of his joy at seeing Roy again, "I'm so sorry to have taken up your time. It's a question I wanted to ask you the other day—"
"That's true."
Roy recalled briefly that when he accompanied Lefia to the school district's giant ship, Bell seemed to have some problems when she saw him. At the time, he was busy with the Date A Live, so he told her that if she wasn't in a hurry, they could postpone it for a few days.
"This is Welf, my new friend, and a companion who will soon join the Hestia Familia!" Bell introduced Welf beside him.
Roy nodded. "Yeah, and then?"
"etc!"
At this moment, Welsh stopped Beryl, who was about to speak, and said, "Beryl, let me tell you about this."
Bell paused, then said, "I understand."
Roy's gaze fell on Welsh Don.
"call!"
Welsh took a deep breath, bent his knees, and pressed his forehead against the cold floor. "Please help me terminate my employment with the Kingdom of Lachia. I'll accept any price!"
Roy frowned. He could probably guess the reason for Welsh's visit. After meeting with Bair, it seemed that he wanted to get rid of the Kingdom of Lachia.
The lobby was deathly silent.
Previously, Welsh was able to obtain the "Well of Freedom" through an agreement reached between Chun Corbrand and Hephaestus with the Kingdom of Lachia, but he had to provide the Kingdom of Lachia with a fixed amount of magic swords every month.
In order to prevent Hephaestus from being humiliated, Welsh could not run away on his own as before.
So his only remaining option was to ask someone for help.
Moreover, ordinary people cannot help him; it must be a power on par with, or even stronger than, the Kingdom of Lachia. Roy in front of him is one of them.
At the outpost, eight plainclothes knights from the Kingdom of Lachia were tasked with monitoring Welsh.
Upon seeing Welsh's unexpected and strange actions, the knights were startled and filled with regret, realizing they should have stopped him from coming to see Roy.
It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost!
"Lord Roy!"
The plainclothes knights, their faces cold and hard, no longer concealed themselves. They strode forward, greeted Roy with a slight bow, their demeanor revealing an indescribable respect and humility.
Having witnessed Roy throw the divine gun and save the world, they were deeply shocked.
This boy's growth rate is terrifying.
At this moment, Roy could probably destroy the Kingdom of Lachia with just a wave of his hand!
They had to be extremely careful; offending this powerful figure would have unimaginable consequences. That said, Ares was nominally still a subordinate of Astraea, and they were considered "family."
These knights had a high opinion of themselves.
"Lord Roy, Welsh's condition hasn't been good lately. He was just rambling. Please don't take it to heart," a knight said cautiously.
After saying that, the knights stepped forward without any politeness, grabbed Welsh's arm roughly, and tried to drag him out of the place.
Welsh was powerless to resist.
Nominally, he gained the freedom, but he spent most of his time forging magic swords for the other party and had no opportunity to improve his abilities. He entered the dungeon no more than ten times, and even then, he killed few enemies while accompanied by these knights.
"Let me go!"
Welsh, still at LV.1, struggled desperately, but it was as if he were being held in an iron clamp, unable to budge an inch, filled with resentment and powerlessness.
"What do you want to do to Welsh?"
An angry voice rang out.
Unable to stand idly by any longer, he charged forward to Welsh, straightening his lean yet resolute back, and fearlessly confronted the several tall knights. His eyes burned with furious rage, and for a moment, his imposing manner was no less than that of his opponents.
After reaching LV.2 and defeating Valetta's Cough, his stats surged again. In terms of base stats, at LV.2...
Among adventurers, they are definitely not weak.
But among those knights were level 3 powerhouses.
The two sides were about to draw their swords and fight.
In an instant, the once orderly lobby erupted into chaos. Newly hired employees exclaimed in surprise, and the scene instantly spiraled out of control, with chickens flying and spitting everywhere. People stared blankly at the unexpected arrival of Chongyi.
A calm voice resounded clearly throughout the hall, like a thunderclap in everyone's ears.
"Would you like to see where we are?"
Before long, Roy stood up, his expression calm, his gaze like a deep, cold pool, slowly sweeping over the menacing plainclothes knights.
No roars! No threats!
That calm gaze was like an invisible hand, suddenly gripping everyone's throat!
Time seemed to have been paused, and all the noise, struggle, and shouts came to an abrupt end!
The domineering aura emanating from Roydon was terrifying; the entire hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, with only an invisible sense of oppression pressing down like a mountain.
They seemed to see an ancient behemoth awakening; the knights froze in mid-air, their fierce gazes filled with dread.
The taut wellhead also came to a halt. The employees stood frozen, speechless.
Roy said calmly, "Get lost!"
His voice was like a booming bell, so loud that everyone felt powerless, their breath caught in their throats, and they sat on the ground almost paralyzed.
"Yes, yes."
The plainclothes knights of the Kingdom of Lachia turned pale and, without saying another word, rushed out in a panic. Only after leaving the hotel and touching their backs did they realize that their clothes were soaked with sweat.
If Roy wanted to kill them, it wouldn't even take a second. That's terrifying!
This is one of the strongest adventurers in the world!
At this moment, all they wanted was to escape to the farthest place in the world and hide from that terrifying boy.
However, the knights that Marius had hired to monitor Welsh were indeed of high quality. After being frightened by Roy, they did not leave, but instead waited outside the hotel. However, they did not step inside again.
"Thank you, Roy," said gratefully.
Welsh was shocked. This was too domineering. This was a true and powerful man. The kingdom knights who had almost driven him and Bai Er to the brink of despair, Roy only had to say one sentence to terrify those knights and make them flee in panic.
If he had such strength, why would he fear the Kingdom of Lachia, and why would he need to so cowardly forge the Demon Sword?
Welsh sighed inwardly, but there was only one "Roy" in the world. Everyone admitted that this boy was a true miracle, one in a million!
Roy said, "I have already explained the situation. You want to terminate the contract with the Kingdom of Lachia."
"Yes!"
Welsh nodded emphatically. He had already forged over a thousand magic swords for the other party, worth no less than three hundred million falies, enough to repay the debt of raising him.
Roy laughed and said, "You've come to the right person. I do have a way to help you break the contract."
Derek and Welsh were overjoyed.
"But!" But the next moment, Roy changed the subject, causing both of their hearts to sink.
Roy calmly asked, "Why should I help you?"
Welsh felt as if a huge stone was lodged in his heart. Why should anyone help him when he had no relatives or friends?
Bai Er was no longer a naive and clueless young man who had just arrived in Orario. Unlike helping him, helping Welsh involved dealing with a major power. Even if it were Roy, he would have to consider the interests of all parties.
"Shall I forge the Demon Sword Clozo for you?"
Welsh gritted his teeth, was he going to use the magic sword to buy freedom again? Yan's life was a mess.
Roy's answer plunged him into despair.
"I don't need it!"
Roy shook his head slightly.
Upon hearing this, Welsh's expression froze.
Roy's eyes remained completely still. The Demon Sword of Clozo?
Don't be ridiculous! With Roy's skills, he could have forged a magic sword with power surpassing Crozo's long ago.
Especially with the acquisition of the "Fairy Bloodline," although Roy is not as good as Ais, a true second-generation fairy, he can still be considered a pseudo-second-generation fairy. Welsh's bloodline has been diluted for generations and is incomparable to the two of them.
If it weren't for his legacy from his past life, Welsh, like his people, would be cursed and resented by the fairies. To think he could forge a demonic sword? Dream on!
Roy just watched the other person quietly.
This left Welsh feeling helpless. Roy was his only hope of escaping the Kingdom of Lachia, but he never expected that the trump card, the Crozo Demon Sword, would fail. Countless adventurers were begging him to obtain this weapon.
However, he was worthless in front of Roy!
What other bargaining chips can he offer?
Welsh racked his brains but couldn't think of anything else he could offer to impress Roy.
"In that case, I'll go get busy."
After a moment of coughing, seeing Welsh getting more and more desperate, Roy was about to leave. He wasn't a philanthropist, so he didn't have time to help others.
Moreover, the treaty between the Kingdom of Lachia and Welsh was agreed upon by both parties, and now Welsh is unwilling to live and wants to escape his current predicament.
Watching Roy about to leave, Welsh opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a sound for a long time. His eyes grew dimmer and dimmer. He had clearly found someone who could help him, but damn it, Yan was helpless.
"Bai'er, let's go back—" Welshling was a stray dog, head bowed.
"Roy is born!"
At that moment, Bai'er's childish voice rang out.
Roy stopped and turned around slightly.
Beryl lowered his voice, "If I offered you a billion Faris, would you help Welsh?"
Welsh stared wide-eyed at the "red-eyed rabbit" in disbelief. What was this guy talking about? He had painstakingly forged the magic sword for the Kingdom of Lachia, and its value could not possibly exceed five hundred million falies!
Where did the billion Fali come from?!
Does this ugly rabbit know what this number means? It represents ten pieces of first-class weaponry! Enough wealth for a family to last for several lifetimes!
Roy silently returned to the sofa, glared at Bai Er, and said that if he was willing to pay, he should have said so earlier. Why did he have to play the villain? It has to be said that the Astrea Familia has been having some cash flow problems lately.
"Ten billion fali, quite strict, but—"
"What about the 1.5 billion fali?"
Before Roy could finish speaking, Bell slapped him, his red eyes stern and resolute.
Not only Roy, but even Welsh was dumbfounded. This thing can go up in price? And by 500 million Faris! Do you own a mine?!
Roy lowered his head in thought.
"What a pity, Welsh. Let's go and find someone else; perhaps they can find a solution." Beryl pulled Welsh along and headed out of the hotel.
At level 1, Welsh can only be dragged around.
One step, two steps, ten steps—Bai Er was also uneasy. This was a negotiation method that Xiao Ming from the school district had taught him: to find out the other party's bottom line.
But as they got closer to the hotel entrance, they still didn't hear Roy trying to persuade them to stay.
Your heart is filled with increasing panic.
Ultimately, he couldn't withstand the pressure. He turned around and said pitifully, "Royal, two billion falies, that's as much as it can possibly be!"
Roy smiled as he watched Bitter Gourd's defeat. Trying to play hard to get with me? Too naive!
"hehe!"
Roy was in a good mood. If it were the original timeline's Bai Er, he might have slammed the Supreme Gold Card on the table and given away a mere 4 billion Fali for the sake of his companion.
Little Bell in front of me actually knows how to bargain.
I learned a lot at the school district.
One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black!
