Chapter 291 He Would Be Beaten To Death...
That day had been a happy day for him.
William had successfully exchanged magic transmission scrolls with many famous and powerful figures. He had received a great start in networking.
One of the contacts he gained was with the Rover's Chamber of Commerce that had many branches in the southern region.
The other contact was the West Sea Alliance that occupied tens of resource-rich islands overseas.
The third contact was Beast City that kept hundreds of varieties of magical beasts.
Besides exchanging magic transmission scrolls with the powerful figures, William also exchanged magic transmission scrolls with young ladies.
He already expected to receive many harassment messages in the future…
Not to mention the powerful influences from countries, influences from certain sects were also among his contacts now.
However, the influence of the sects was similar to William's influence as a neutral city lord.
The sects had strange resources like cultivated magical herbs, magical beasts, and some rare materials.
For example, the Beast City was a city in the eastern region of the legendary continent. The city was located inside a thick forest. Without a teleportation portal, it was hard to locate the city in the thick boundless forest.
The Beast City possessed a strange method of taming the magical beasts. To the players, it was considered a hidden occupation.
The Beast Master!
The inhabitants of the city could tame magical beasts and sell them to potential customers.
The most important point was the existence of three legendary Great Dragons in the Beast City.
The Beast City was a powerful neutral faction in the legendary continent.
William wanted to establish communication with the city because he wanted to purchase magical beasts. After all, the Beast City welcomed all customers if they had the ability to pay!
It was even able to provide a few Dragons as long as the customer could pay the price…
However, a discreet agreement had to be signed, and a vicious vow or curse had to be made. The customer should not divulge the origin at all costs…
The NPCs would not betray the Beast City after making the agreements and promises.
However, the city once had been conned by a rich player…
One of the legendary Great Dragon of Beast City had become infuriated. He destroyed half of the Beast City and inflicted massive casualties.
The setback did not cause Beast City to collapse, but the previously friendly Dragons would no longer trust the city.
From then on, the Beast City never dealt in Dragons again…
But the inhabitants of the city hated the players to the core.
What happened to the particular rich player?
Tsk, tsk!
He had repeatedly been killed until he was forced to recreate a new account.
Even his guild stronghold was destroyed again and again, until it disbanded…
There were not many powerful sects in the legendary continent.
Instead, countries formed the core powers in the legendary continent.
However, the Oceania players made use of the sects to control the large continent.
The countries had to depend on the sects to survive.
William would only maintain superficial contact with them instead of deep relationships.
Business was business.
When there were not enough affinity points, William would choose not to speak too much.
Doing business was about mutual benefits.
These young people looked ignorant, but they were only acting. Since they were able to enter the headquarters of the Temple of Light with their elders, they must be outstanding successors to their powerful clans.
What were their intentions?
It was obvious.
They were here to discuss the selection of candidates in the Magic Conference and the unstable world condition due to the Darkness Invasion.
Of course, the powerful Temple of Light could not be absent from such important discussions.
Human empires were powerful.
However, Human empires would only take care of their vassal states. The other power centers were not able to gain the protection of the empires.
The three empires took care of their vassal states, and the vassal states took care of their interests.
The other sects and clans, they could only collaborate with the Temple of Light.
Of course, they could also choose to align with the Magic Sanctuary, the Palace of Darkness, or the Mercenary Guild.
William discovered that some of the visitors from his previous life, who had become legendary professionals in the future.
But he was unable to locate those who would go on to become sages.
William socialized with the temple visitors for the entire afternoon. At night, he settled in the guesthouse of a side palace.
Nobody knocked on his door at night.
William was disappointed.
On the second day, he wandered around in the Temple of Light. He admired the scenery as though he was on tour.
William was not in a hurry to look for the legendary equipment, as making haste would make him look suspicious to the temple guards.
He was being led to the large training ground for Temple Knights.
He saw 300,000 Temple Knights that were organized into a hundred legions perfecting their combined attack skill!
The scene was majestic.
Rays of Sword Sage, hundreds of meters long, descended from the sky and pounded on the ground.
Shields filled with holy light braced the front of the legions. It was as though the shields could deflect all attacks.
Each harmonious move and stroke of the Temple Knights exhibited the full power of the combined attack skill.
Such a training scene was not a secret.
William and other visitors could observe the knights in training.
The Temple of Light would not try to hide their training from view.
Instead, the temple wanted other power centers to witness the power of the Temple of Light. Because the guests did not obtain the training methods, so they were unable to find the weakness of the combined attack skill.
"That's powerful," exclaimed William. The Temple of Light had deployed 800,000 Temple Knights to counter the Darkness invasion in various dukedoms.
But these Temple Knights had not returned from their mission. They might not even return.
Still, there were 300,000 Temple Knights here!
These Temple Knights were stronger and more powerful because they were all Advanced professionals…
Where about the other Temple Knights and clerics?
Nobody knew.
Because the most secret location of the Temple of Light was not situated within these palaces.
Instead, it was in an alternate dimension controlled by the Temple of Light.
That was the place where all the hidden secrets were located.
All these scenes were purposely shown to the guests…
At this moment, a tall man slowly walked in and dismissed all the knights so that they could train on their own.
"Havto!"
"Oh, you're here?" William glanced at Lancelot before looking at Havto.
Lancelot shrugged and said, "Yes, I heard you were here, so I came to find you. He's a powerful warrior who is attaining the title of Epic professional."
"Hmm… this gorilla is able to defeat you without any problem," William grumbled. He wanted to say that Havto was indeed powerful since Lancelot was considered the Viscount of Light.
The Temple of Light had a shield and a sword.
Havto was the shield that was packed with offensive power.
He would not use any weapons or wear any armor.
His body was the toughest shield, while his fists were the most powerful weapons.
If Violent Dragon was King Kong, then Havto was considered the more powerful ancestor of King Kong.
Havto realized that William and Lancelot were having a discussion on him.
He turned his head to look at Lancelot and William. Then he approached them furiously…
"What?" Lancelot was befuddled.
"What???" William's eyes widened with shock. He did not recall badmouthing Havto. Why was Havto looking so angry?
But it was all too late.
The brute Havto used his thick arms to push off Lancelot. Then he said to William, "I'm happy when you said I'm strong. But when you call me a gorilla, I'm extremely unhappy.
"Now, I'm going to use the capability of an Advanced professional to duel with you.
"Do you accept my challenge?"
William glanced at the righteous Lancelot. Before Lancelot could reply, he had been bound and gagged by a group of Temple Knights. His eyes communicated that he was helpless…
William frowned. He noticed many brutes gathering around.
Could he refuse?
It was merely a harmless comment saying Gorilla.
What was the big deal?
In William's previous life, tens of thousands of players had called Havto a gorilla, but he had not become furious!
"Yes, Gorilla, I welcome the challenge. What are the rewards and penalties?
"Even if you stand still for me to slash, am I able to harm you?
"It's not interesting to have a duel.
"What about a bet?"
William raised his brows. It was not easy to have a duel with a powerful professional. Perhaps, he could trigger some missions.
In his previous life, he had not dueled with Havto. Perhaps, William might obtain some important information from the duel.
"Betting?" Havto frowned. He shook his head and replied, "We Temple Knights don't gamble. If you lose, apologize to me. If you win… it's impossible!"
"Forget it. If you win, I'll give this ring to you."
While speaking, Havto's huge fingers pinched on a small ring.
On the luminous ring was an inscription of a shield.
At this moment, many Temple Knights inhaled a gust of cold air, and their eyes lit up. But they merely shrugged their shoulders as it was impossible for William to win.
William swallowed hard and replied, "Good, how do we determine one's winning or losing!?"
"You won't defeat me or harm me even if I use the same power as your level, but…" Havto laughed sinisterly and continued, "If you survive 30 minutes, no, 10 minutes without collapsing, you win."
The surrounding Temple Knights condescendingly laughed.
William deeply inhaled as he glanced at the mission information. He was going all in!
[Prompt: You have received an S level mission, Havto's challenge!]
[Havto's Challenge]
[Mission Level: S]
[Mission Duration: 10 minutes]
[Mission Introduction: Persist for 10 minutes if you are a man. You will lose if your Health Points drop below 5%.]
[Reward: Ring of Sacred Shield of Light]
[Reward: 300,000 experience points]
[Additional Reward: If you survive for more than 30 minutes, you will receive a random reward!]
[Friendly Prompt: If you survive for 10 minutes, you win. If you survive for 30 minutes, you are a real man. However, I feel that you will be beaten to death, definitely.]
"Come, show me how strong the fists of a gorilla are. Don't be like a screaming woman who can only use her pounding fists to massage my chest, ooo, ooo, ooo!" After taunting, William ran far away.
He was risking it all!
He did not believe that he would be beaten to death when both of them had legendary bloodlines. Especially when Havto suppressed his power.
There was a loud bang!
William flew back a few hundred meters like a rocket and crashed heavily against a magical barrier. Like a slab of mud, he slid towards the ground…
