Chereads / The Merry Knight / Chapter 76 - The Royal Knight

Chapter 76 - The Royal Knight

-70, MISS. The full force warrior was left dumbfounded. He had dealt at least 300 damage to all the knights under the effect of his boost, how was it possible that this knight, who carried a rabbit and evaded his attack, only took 70 damage from his axe blow?

"Impossible. It must be my mind playing tricks on me, as I've killed too many people," the warrior with the giant axe shook his head.

"Ding dong. Stone City, you have been attacked by the warrior. You may now counterattack."

How dare he challenge me to a player vs player combat. A tiger does not show its power until it is provoked.

I turned around and attacked the warrior with a single slash.

1150! The critical hit from my sword had instantly taken down the warrior with only 700 health, as I had expected.

"Impossible. It must be an illusion due to killing too many people," the warrior muttered as he respawned in the Tianlong City, feeling the back of his head and looking at his axe in confusion.

I am so powerful, it is beyond my imagination. Luckily, the players around me were too busy fighting to notice my abnormal strength.

"Sigh, this is madness."

As I looked at the players fighting, I couldn't help but sigh. With a teleportation scroll, I returned to the Tianlong City square.

Little did I know that the chaotic scene of the battle was caused by me stealing the "Dark Purple Sky Dragon" pet egg, which had attracted the Twin-headed Crow King.

I am the culprit!

"Mr. Meng, I'm back."

"It's Stone City. So, how's the investigation of the situation in Honghe Village?"

I repeated the information that the scout team led by Chen Xingxing had given me via the Elf Path, truthfully informing Meng Long of the current situation. The Twin-headed Crow King had already been chased away by the Five-clawed Divine Dragon, so I was safe now. The pet egg of the "Dark Purple Sky Dragon" was also secured. I could finally hand over the mission to Lord Meng of the Tianlong City.

"What? The Demon Clan is planning to unseal the Half-Beast Leader, HunTian Beast? And we knew nothing about it? They even got their hands on the 'Ice Blue Crystal Sword' that Andrey had used. We were too careless. Our intelligence department has failed us. We didn't receive any news," Meng Long frowned upon hearing the news.

"The awakening of the demon is likely to be a catastrophic blow to humanity. I must quickly report this to the emperor and urge the leadership to take it seriously," muttered Meng Long to himself before turning to me and saying, "Stone City, we owe you a debt of gratitude. I will dispatch more personnel to the Knight City of Tianma City to protect the sacred artifact, the 'Flame Purple Rainbow Sword.' If the demons succeed in their plot to release the leader of the half-beast, Huntu, humanity will be in real danger."

"Stone City, you have brought such important news, and I must thank you properly."

At last, I thought, we have arrived at the expression of gratitude. I wonder what reward is in store for me?

"Stone City, I can see that you have great talent and potential for development. I can offer you a position as a full-time Royal Knight of the city, hoping that you will fully realize your potential."

"Ding Dong! Stone City, Lord Meng Long of Tianlong City wishes to offer you the opportunity to become a Royal Knight, one of the advanced professions of the Knight class. Will you accept?"

"Yes, I accept."

An advanced profession in the Knight class must be more powerful than a regular Knight, so of course, I accepted.

"Ding Dong! Congratulations to the player Stone City for obtaining the hidden profession of the Royal Knight. Your attack increases by 200, defense increases by 200, and health increases by 500."

"Ding Dong! Congratulations to the player Stone City for transitioning to the hidden profession of the Royal Knight. Your basic attributes have changed. Strength has increased by 10, Constitution has increased by 10, and your basic skills of One-Handed Mastery and Shield Mastery have been modified."

This is amazing. The increase in my attributes is astronomical compared to my previous profession as a Knight. Now it seems that the Knight profession is quite weak.

"Ding Dong! Congratulations to the player Stone City for completing the exploration of the unique task, Red Synthesis. Your reputation has increased by 50, and you have received 5000 gold coins."

The system continues to issue rewards, and I am thrilled.

One-Handed Mastery: Level 1, a passive skill of the Knight class that enhances the application of one-handed weapons. When using a one-handed weapon, your attack increases by 10%.

Shield Mastery: Level 1, a passive skill of the Knight class that enhances your defensive capabilities. When using a shield, your defense increases by 10%.

"Ah, look! The number one ranked player on the Top Ten Masters List has transitioned to the Royal Knight profession. Is it a hidden profession?"

I have just successfully switched jobs, and a loud voice shouted out, causing players to open the rankings.

Top Ten Masters Ranking:

First place, level 28, male, name hidden, Royal Knight.

Reputation Rankings:

First place, Reputation: 3520, name hidden, Royal Knight.

"The first place is too strong, I admire him."

"Damn it, why did this first place get all the benefits?"

Admiration and curses were heard continuously, but this eased the tension of players who were still PKing next to the big pit caused by the Two-Headed Crow King.

The system had already wiped out the more than one hundred pieces of rare equipment that the Dark Wizard had exploded, but there were still so many players PKing, which was really formidable.

"Damn it! What a waste of time, let's go find hidden professions. The later it gets, the smaller the chance."

Finally, the players dispersed.

Naturally, I knew nothing of these things. After completing the task, I left the city lord's mansion and went to the restaurant to celebrate because I was happy.

"Stone."

Who is calling me?

Turning around, it was TianHuo LengHun and his older brother TianHuo DaoYin. Besides TianHuo LengHun, no one knew my game name.

"Let's go for a drink."

TianHuo LengHun was still generous and pulled me towards the restaurant. It seemed that I could save some money on this drink.

"Stone, where did you go just now? Why didn't we see you?"

"Oh, it was a bit chaotic just now, so I went back to the city. How is the situation now?"

"We were doing well, but because the first-ranked player switched to a hidden profession, it caught the attention of players, and they all went to mind their own business."

"Oh…"

"I really want to know who stole the pet egg of the 'Dark Purple Sky Dragon.' Not only did they obtain the divine beast pet, but they also caused a group battle among the players in Tianlong City. The forum is on fire now."

TianHuo LengHun continued.

"Ah, that's impressive."

I never thought that I would be so impressive, not only did I cause a group battle among players, but I also ended it. I can't even imagine if it's true or not.

TianHuo LengHun spoke up to this point, observing my expression, attempting to gauge his accuracy. I am, indeed, the foremost expert in this game, King of Glory.

However, my reaction remained unchanged, and with the rabbit mask covering half my face, it made it even more difficult for him to discern.

"Did you do it, Stone City?"

TianHuo LengHun muttered to himself.

After chatting for a bit and making an excuse, I bid farewell to TianHuo and logged off to browse the forum.

My goodness! It's really blowing up. The top ten trending topics are all related to this incident. Let's take a look at the first few:

"Who Moved My Cheese – Revealing the Player Who Made the Dark Magician Two-Headed Crow King Go Insane."

"For Players Who Haven't Witnessed the Divine Beast Battle in Tianlong City – A Video of a Battle That Will Make Your Blood Boil."

"Regret, Why Did I Leave Tianlong City and Miss This Rare Opportunity."

"For Players Who Have Obtained the Divine Beast Pet Egg – I'm Willing to Buy It at a High Price. Contact Information: XXX."

Opening the articles, they are all just some players' rumors and speculative discussions. Though they are highly addictive, they lack substance.

However, one article caught my eye with its depth, "The Impact and Future Development of the First Great War in 'King of Glory.'"
