Chapter 41: City of Dawn

Gods’ contract.

This thing was still a little useful. The most important thing was that there must be a contracting process. They could not use mere words and must use a magical ceremony.

One more thing was that if the person went back on the promise, they would meet with a crazy punishment.

William knew such things very well and would never let Brother Curry play any word games.

Once the deal was settled and Curry had left, William said to Lautner, “Separate all of these slaves and mess the group up. Let them start work as soon as possible, in case they cause any trouble.

“Tell them that we can give them a peasant identity immediately. However, they cannot leave within six months but they can work on the expanding of the city while getting paid. If they have the talent, we can even give up training skills for free and make them professionals.

“My Lord is so kind. May the Gods bless you.” Lautner hit the back of his horse lightly. Elves who craved freedom really did not like slavery. They felt that apart from dark beings, every other life form should be equal…

Yes, apart from the dark beings, the Elves don’t discriminate anyone else!

“Stop talking nonsense. Have you seen a God appear in real life before?” William pouted. Gods had become extinct in the Legendary continent now. Apart from the rare occurrences, no Gods had appeared on the entire continent.

Throwing those fake gods away, sages were the top existence in the Legendary continent.

For example:

The chief of the magic sanctuary, who had been Moses’ teacher…

Of course, it wasn’t that there really weren’t any Gods. There were many Gods in the future and all of them would appear on this continent. However, for the time being, even traces of God’s magic were extremely rare, let alone appearances.

Every time a God appeared, there would always be someone who would sacrifice their body to bear a God’s possession.

Not only so, but this person’s bloodline also had to be very strong, and have a capability that was nearly the Legendary level…

As for what kind of ending the possessed person would have, if they didn’t die, everything would be over…

Such as Moses.

The reason for this situation was because of the result caused by the Gods’ war.

“Gods and Devils are still too far for me now. However, the return of the Gods and Devils will be a disaster that every living being cannot avoid!” William knew the characteristics of the Gods and Devils very well.

“It seemed like the Gods were righteous and the Devils were evil, that was why there were the Bright and Dark camps.

“All of the current living beings are merely ants to the Gods and Devils. They are all enslaved servants, useless beings that exist only for their entertainment.

“The two nations’ war in the first version seems to have nothing to do with the Gods and Devils, but at the same time, it was the trigger for them to appear.

“Such as the current plains, looking so green and lively with horses galloping all over…

“Who would know that not too long in the future, dark beings would continuously swarm out from the ground?

“The once arrogant and fiery Iron nation was also destroyed…

“However, it is also because of the appearance of dark beings who led the players to officially enter the second version, the Attack of the Dark.”

William’s expression was dark. He didn’t want to give up on his territory. Even if his territory was very normal, he knew the importance of the Blackleaf Forest in the future, so he would never give up on this precious territory easily.

Also, he had the confidence to make this city, he was standing in, into the light amongst the darkness in the future.

He wanted to make his territory become the only city that still stood in the dark!

The prerequisite was…

He had to have enough money, have a strong enough city, strong enough men, and enough peasants to persevere with him.

“The importance of players is usually understood. Being able to revive is their strongest capability. Even so, players at the same level were incomparable to NPCs. However, their unlimited revivals allowed them to get a strong base.

“The strongest ability of players was their short and unlimited ability to level-up and become stronger.

“That is why in the future, we have to recruit enough players.

“If not, we have to build things that players like when we expand the city. We must make as many of them join our territory, instead of going to the other two nations.” William knew that he definitely wouldn’t be able to make all of the players join his territory, but he had to do his best in absorbing a percentage of the players.

“However, I’m still not strong enough now. I need fame and popularity.” William had never liked his Legendary bloodline so much.

For the players…

Levels weren’t important.

Bloodline was the most important.

To the players, his own Legendary bloodline made him the Legendary Boss. In the future, he would be the Legendary super boss. His capability was unlimited. Instead of depending on him, there was also fame if they wanted to kill him…

As long as he could act extremely strong and cool again and again, he believed that he would have a very strong influence on the players.

“How about we change names? First of all, the Border Town sounds too low. After we expand the city, let’s change the name into City of Dawn!” William couldn’t help but mutter.

“What? City of Dawn?” Odom walked in.

“Hm, I plan to change the territory’s name to City of Dawn!” William nodded at him.

“It’s a pretty good name. However, what does it mean?”

“You’ll see in the future.” William smiled mysteriously, instead of explaining anything.

Odom shook his curly, gold hair, choosing not to think too much about it. Anyway, it had nothing to do with him what this territory was called. As the deputy town leader, it may seem as if he had a lot of power, but the ultimate leader of this territory was still William…

As for all the treasures, minerals and wealth inside and out of the territory, they were all William’s if they didn’t belong to anyone!

It could also be said that as long as William continued to expand his territory, the southern Blackleaf Forest would also be his territory.

There was no way, a Lord’s power was comparable to an Emperor.

However, the difference between the territory sizes was huge.

The Legendary continent was as large as ten Hua Xia…

There were too many unexplored and empty spaces around.

There were less than ten billion intelligence beings, so wasn’t this an abundance of land?

“Including the ocean and those unknown islands, according to the official news of the game, the size of the Gods’ world is about a hundred times the size of the entire Earth.

“I won’t be able to explore that many places before I die.” As an NPC that cannot revive, William’s only hope was to become stronger, so that he wouldn’t die in the hands of a player at least.

However, there were many ways of becoming stronger.

Before becoming stronger, he would never become a mercenary, bounty hunter, assassin or the sorts. Nor would he roam around.

Instead, he would build his power and own a large group of strong men. That was the best way. He would only have the ability to go and explore the world when he achieved this.

Especially now that William had the attributes page and was able to get missions he understood even more how to make himself level-up faster.

Territory missions were one way. He had to take part in the main missions of every version as well, together with some side missions. However, this type of leveling speed would become very slow in the latter part of the game.

Recruiting enough players and giving out missions to collect experience points was the fastest way.

“My Lord, my Lord, Old Hand decided to join the blacksmith shop.” Nox flew over.

Hearing this, William finally regained his senses and nodded. “That’s good. Let me go meet him again. He finally did my presents justice…”

“He’s a drunkard. If we had known he loved to drink earlier, we would have long gotten this grandmaster blacksmith!” Nox shrugged helplessly.

William didn’t explain that he had only found out in his previous life that Old Hank loved to drink. There were players who gifted him expensive and good alcohol, making it possible for their pre-ordered weapons to come out faster…

However, this wasn’t making a weapon, but recruiting this grandmaster blacksmith with Epic bloodline.

The difference between the two was very big. Old Hank probably chose to become a recruited blacksmith only because he realized that the town was developing very rapidly.
