Chapter 487: Entering Tower of Light

“Did you see what exploded from the monster? It should be something good.” Ziliang regained his composure the fastest, and he approached the Harpy Queen’s corpse. He whipped out the engineering tools and chopped off its claw. He then compared them with the Mechanical Gargoyle’s as though he was planning to improvise them.

This was when Lin Jie realized that he had just slain a Dark Gold Overlord Boss!

As expected, the Dark Gold Overlord produced pretty decent items, which included a Dark Gold robe!

[Enchantress’s Robe] (Dark Gold)

Requires: Level 50

Defense: 98

Wisdom: +60

Spirit: +55

Willpower: +30

All-stats Magical Damage +35

Chanting Speed: +10, Channeling Speed: +10

Additional effect: When you are under attack, there is a 5% chance that the attack will be deflected. Furthermore, a wind attack will be inflicted on the target, causing 200 points of damage.

Special Skill: Enchantress Shield. After coacervation of the shield, the next attack targeted at you or its control will be negated. The attack’s damage will decrease by 30%. The cooldown time is 15 minutes.

What a rare item! This Dark Gold robe was true to its status. Being capable of boosting all stats also meant that as long as Elemental Mages equipped it, their Magical Attack would increase by 35 points. Robes with such characteristics were incredibly rare. The additional effect and special skill were self-protective skills and were useful for Mages that had lower Defense points.

“Give it to Night!” Domestic Fat Cattle waved and said, “Ice Mages have a high requirement for their basic damage and Fire Mages have a high requirement for the damage percentage. The increment of 35 points is equivalent to boosting Dejected Night’s attack by 35%, but for me, not more than 10%, hehehe…” Fat Cattle had ‘accidentally’ revealed the fact that his Magic Attack was a lot higher than Dejected Night, amidst his in-depth analysis.

“At first, I wanted to thank you, but I guess not now.” How would Dejected Night miss his contemplation? He ignored him and took the robe.

This wasn’t the first time that Savage Blade had split the loots internally, and hence, there was no objection. The other items were Gold ones, although they were rare items, none of them could care less about them. What Savage Blade required most now was Dark Gold equipment or even Sub-Legendary Fragments!

“Let’s go.” After assigning the robe, everyone made their way back to the City of Light. The city was in a state of chaos due to the City Leader’s death and monsters’ attacks. The guards were dashing about, and NPCs were scuttling around. The entrance was filled with countless players, and the adventurers’ guilds became hot gathering spots for players for the first time. The missions with high rewards were very tempting as well.

Lin Jie held the Energy Crystal and proceeded towards the Holy Church.

[Energy Crystal]: Contains 50,000 units of energy. The Energy Crystal is the fuel for Magic Cannon and Energy Barrier. You can sell it to the Goblins Trade Union for a huge sum in return.

The system was such a fraud, as it hinted the players to sell their energy crystal to the Goblins, also known as the swidler race of The New Age. You would be considered lucky if they gave you some gold coins in return. If one had really sold it to them when they wanted to repurchase it after realizing its value, they would realize that the Goblins had already ‘sold it to someone else’, and the poor fellow would only receive some EXP as compensation.

And next? Next, you would purchase this ultra-rare item from them at a much higher price.

As the name suggested, the Energy Crystal was a crystal that stored energy. It was the basic form of fuel in the New Age and was equivalent to petroleum in the real world. However, it had many more uses. A magic cannon required 300 units of energy, and the crystal contained 50,000 units, which was sufficient to fuel more than 100 magic cannons concurrently.

When the energy was being used as an energy barrier, it would drain the energy storage, and the drainage would speed up when the barrier was under attack.

The reason why Lin Jie headed to the Holy Church instead of the Empire was that the Holy Church was currently on his side. The Empire was unwilling for him to become the City Leader, and he probably wouldn’t get any benefits even if he handed his Energy Crystal over to them.

Also, Lin Jie checked on his loots. Due to the City Leader’s death and monsters’ attacks, the system and NPC auction function, as well as the item selling functions, had stopped working. The only trading location was the central auction house and some players’ organization. Hence, when Lin Jie announced that he was acquiring the building material missions, it was the same as concentrating all the building materials in the City of Light.

Speaking of Baili Xuanyuan, after getting tricked by Lin Jie and suffering from ten times the tax, he had ordered his lackeys to venture into the camping grounds to acquire building materials.

Building materials were generally split into wood, ores, and so on. High-level materials could be used to exchange for many normal-level materials. But of course, no one was dumb to think that a house made from 100,000 wooden logs would be better than one that was made from 100 Ice Crystals.

“A total of 127,000 units of building materials! And among those, there are 34,000 units of basic wood, 21,000 units of basic ores…” Lin Jie raised his eyebrow as he did not expect such a large amount! When he cleared the Werebear Crossroad, he had only received a couple hundred rare materials, which could only be exchanged for 3,000 basic building material. This was the power of numbers! Coupled with Lin Jie’s strategy to monopolize the market, other than the minority that sold their materials to Baili Xuanyuan, a huge bulk of materials were with him.

‘This is enough!’

Lin Jie bolted into the church, and Tyrese seemed to have expected him as she welcomed with a warm smile. “Viscount, what did you bring?”

“Many things.” Lin Jie handed the building material checklist over.

“Very well, these materials are very useful.” Tyrese nodded, but her brows remained furrowed. “However, there are still many players that are eyeing the City of Light greedily. Despite how many materials you have contributed, they are insignificant when compared to the large number of infrastructure damages that are going to come. I will record down your contributions first when peace is restored to the City of Light, I will then—”

Lin Jie smiled gently and took out the Energy Crystal. “I think wars will no longer occur in the City of Light.”

Tyrese was stunned before breaking out into a huge smile. “Energy Crystal! It can build a thick energy barrier to protect the city. It is a pity that they are extremely rare in the New Age, and most of them are being held by the Goblins Trade Union. We will never obtain sufficient energy, but it’s all good now. Viscount, you have contributed a lot, and the City of Light will forever remember that. Let’s go, head to the Tower of Light with me!”

Tower of Light was the most central building in the City of Light. It stood right in the middle and was rumored to be one of the Holy Church’s sources of power. Normal players were not allowed up there.

“This is the Tower of Light? Feels good…” The Savage Blade team followed Lin Jie up. As they stepped foot into the tower, they felt the Holy Light rays massage and loosen the knots in their bodies. They couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

Zheng Ziliang praised it heavily, “Who else needs massages in the future? Isn’t it better to just come to the tower?”

Bu Yi was rendered speechless as the word ‘massage’ had a different connotation to a goody two shoes, plus Zheng Ziliang wasn’t a righteous guy… Faint Holy Light covered her eyes, and her vision widened. Priests were staunch believers of the Holy Light and could reap quite a few benefits in the tower. With every passing minute, a random attribute would increase by 1 point, so if one were to stay here for a few years, they would become a devout believer.

Creak… Creak…

The Mechanical Gargoyle tilted its head, and the two Titan’s Hearts interacted, as though something had happened. Holy Light rays traced the engraved runes on the gargoyle’s body, illuminating it like a holy bat.

“Jie, look, there is an additional Holy Light Rune-attribute…” Zheng Ziliang called out in surprise. There were originally many incomplete runes on the Mechanical Gargoyle’s body, and somehow, one of them was completed upon entering the tower.

However, Lin Jie remained silent. If someone took notice of him, they would realize that he was the real thing! The rest were only boosting some attributes or strengthening their body, but what was this guy doing!? He had activated the Devour skill and gulping down hard now!

Tower of Light was a storage location for the Holy Light Fountain’s avatar. Although it wasn’t as powerful as the original fountain, it was still decent enough.

Huff… Huff…

Lin Jie’s Devour skill started off mild, before completely being enraged and thin rays of light streams turned to Holy Light energy that was absorbed into the Holy Light Winged Armour, lighting it up even more. Another portion was absorbed straight into the body, and Lin Jie lit up with a healthy glow.

Ding~

—”Your Light Immunity increased by 10 points, your [Devour] has 200 points of disregard when faced with Holy Light skills.”

Absorbing Holy Light felt good! Devour increasing its disregard ability meant that Lin Jie could add on 200 points to his original attack when he faced Paladins. Even if he was in his usual state, it would be a piece of cake for him to devour 900 points and below of Holy Light attribute damage.

As Tyrese noticed Lin Jie’s rapid absorption, she let out a cough and said, “Viscount…”

“Raid Commander, where are we?” Lin Jie could read the situation well as he deactivated his skill and asked as though nothing had happened. Tyrese couldn’t do much to Lin Jie, who had contributed greatly to the Holy Church, so she just pushed the door open.

Whoosh!

As the door opened, rich Holy Light welcomed them as though they were entering a paradise. Holy Light was the gentlest strength, and the viscosity was a hundred times more than Bu Yi’s chants. Being surrounded by a sea of Holy Light was pure pleasure! This feeling made everyone want to just close their eyes and be fully engrossed in it.

Furthermore, everyone received the reward of leveling up one of their skills by one level! This was a reward that was worth a Skill Point. The Tower of Light was indeed the Holy Church’s core, they were rewarded so well just by entering this place!

However, Lin Jie’s attention was glued to the creature in front of him—It was an inverted triangle creature. Holy Light transformed into tentacles or waves based on its motif. This was the Holy Light fountain, Holy Light that had consciousness.

But Lin Jie was looking at the object within the biological creature, it seemed to be… a sword?

“Hello, humans from the alternate realm. Forgive me for not welcoming you with the royal mannerisms. My name is Laini, and you can call me Holy Light.” The Holy Light creature called Laini was very polite, and its voice sounded angelic, giving one a feeling of being in an illusion.
