: Eighteen Massacres’ Motive
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“It’s the Moratti Shrine Dragon Envoy! The Dragon Envoy from Moratti Shrine, one of the 12 sub-shrines, a Boss on the diplomatic rank. I heard that there was a new Shrine Master after the previous Moratti Shrine Master passed away, and it is a Black Dark Dragon King, which is on the Legendary Boss-level! Let’s go, we may get rewarded if we help the Dragon Envoy out!”
“Alright, alright. Dragon Envoys are not strong, but they hold a high status. We can hand him over to Big Boss after we rescue it and get some rewards. I may even impress the chick that I have been trying to hook up with for so long.”
Both Paladins were excited. There was no reason to ignore the benefit in front of them, right?
The reward they would get from saving the Dragon Envoy was comparable and might be more than what Lin Jie had received from rescuing the Wind Rider Sword Saint. It was because all those people were from the Dark Shrine.
“Summon the young dragons, self-detonation, self-detonation!” The highly intelligent Moratti Dragon Envoy, which had a pair of curved horns and wore a black cape, summoned 30 young dragons that exploded instantly. This extremely lethal explosion forced the players to retreat continuously. If that were a centralized blast, those players would be long dead. However, the envoy seemed to be holding back from killing them.
This team of players were outstanding as well, all of them were above Level 33 and wore equipment that was a mixture of Gold and Dark Gold Fragments. There were not any Silver equipment that could be seen. The shine from their items and skills were magnificent during battle, and even the envoy was struggling against their attacks!
It was Savage Blade!
The besieged Moratti Dragon Envoy was naturally Lin Jie’s transformation.
The character that Lin Jie had transformed into was a Dragon Envoy that held high status in the Dark Shrine. If he were to search for the Dark Holy Water Source with the Savage Blade IN Mesosaprobic Shrine, he would get exposed if any NPC or players found out and reported it to the Shrine NPCs. The Demonic Dragon Crown’s transformation skill would be weakened and lose the ‘Dark Shrine Reputation and Admiration’ characteristics while Lin Jie would turn into a normal Rare Elite Dragonite. In other words, Lin Jie’s disguise would fail if anyone reported this to the Shrine.
Thus, after entering the Mesosaprobic Shrine, Lin Jie made the Savage Blade attack him with full force to create the facade and prevent getting exposed. This would definitely hook a bunch of people, given the numerous players that were entering the shrine currently.
Indeed, eyeing the advantages that the Dragon Envoy had during the battle, Sammy and the other Paladin rushed up and joined in the fight. Their shouts and attacks made Savage Blade retreat continuously. It was surprising that the rumored malicious and invincible Savage Blade had zero resistance, and they were only taking on the attacks passively. None of their attacks landed on the two Paladins. Instead, they were targeted at the Dragon Envoy, and there was not much of an effect.
“F*ck, I can’t defeat him.” Fat Cattle cried out, and he threw consecutive fire explosion spells at Lin Jie with no mercy. “Damn it, I am not holding back, and I am giving it my all, but this boss isn’t losing any life, he is possessed by Brother X!”
Baili Changcheng was astonished too. “What a terrifying item! It’s so invincible that it can exterminate masses with just one piece of equipment. If he uses this in the final tournament, who can even go against him?”
“Some of the Dark Shrine players bit the bait!” shouted Netherblue in the team, “Get ready to retreat! We will locate the few source coordinates given by Fu Sheng according to the plan. The source spawns randomly, so this will probably take up a lot of our time. Large numbers of monsters also spawn within the shrine, we must not lose each other.”
Roar—
“Light, go and die, die!”
Lin Jie also brought out his best acting skills as he chanted ambiguously—it was the Dragon Breath!
Even Mixed Breathless and The Heavenly Shield could not withstand the flame intensity from the Dragon Breath, and they were burnt. Hence they shouted, “The enemy is too tough, retreat!” Savage Blade then fled in disorder and vanished within sight.
Lin Jie that had transformed into the Moratti Dragon Envoy heaved a sigh of relief as his teammates disappeared from sight. Their first step of the plan had succeeded! Next up, it would be the triple-pronged approach that consisted of the Holy Church’s external attack, Savage Blade locating the source while clearing monsters, and him to initiate the conflict.
The water vapor in the Mesosaprobic Shrine was very dense, other than the safety zones, all locations would constantly spawn various Level 30 to 60 Mesosaprobic Elements. Normal players would not dare to venture much in fear of a level decrease. However, Savage Blade was extremely powerful, so it would not be too difficult to defeat the Mesosaprobic Elements. The added bonus of not getting harassed by other players was good too.
“Hello... Mr. Dragon Envoy.” Sammy greeted Lin Jie respectfully now that he had gotten out of his predicament and said, “Are you alright?”
Lin Jie looked serious as he raised his head arrogantly. “The Dragons’ Blood is powerful, I am, of course, alright! However, I have to reward you two for saving me!”
Sammy’s eyes lit up as he waited for the system prompt message to ring.
However, Lin Jie took out a pair of Gold Greaves and threw it straight to Sammy.
[Magical Wind Greaves] (Gold)
Requires: Level 30
Defense: 45-84
Magic Defence: +22
Strength: +10
Wisdom: +10
Defense Level: +2
Wind Resistance: +20
Additional: When you are under attack, there is a 5% chance that the attack will be judged as a Wind attribute attack.
“Oh my god, Level 30 Gold Greaves!” Sammy was ecstatic. Ηe never expected that the ‘envoy’ would be so generous and reward a pair Level 30 Gold Greaves! To think that all they had done was to help out. If they really aided this generous envoy in completing his mission, what other princely rewards would they receive? Dark Gold equipment? Epic equipment?
Lin Jie spoke down to them as he enunciated word by word, “The Dragons have countless valuables, this is nothing!”
The other Paladin rubbed his hands and laughed dryly. “Mr. Dragon Envoy, I helped out too, are you going to—”
“You are very good! I have other missions for you.” Lin Jie pointed to that Paladin and spoke with the common slang that was specific to the Dragons. “You can complete my mission, with your qualifications, you can become... an Abyss Knight!”
As he spoke, Lin Jie flashed the Job-Changing Token.
This was the Hidden Job-Changing Token previously belonging to Baili Xuanyuan! Even Baili Xuanyuan had not dared to expose that he had been in possession of this sort of treasure. Otherwise, he would have been under the attack of countless ruffians. This Hidden Job-Changing Token was worth millions!
“Hidden... hidden... hidden... hidden Job-Change!”
“That’s right! However, do not leak this information, or else, die!” Lin Jie warned pretentiously.
Sammy nodded nervously, with this reward as bait, they would only pretend that they had not seen this Moratti Dragon Envoy. Otherwise, others might take the reward away.
Lin Jie saw that he had successfully fooled them, so he asked, “Humans from alternate realms, why are they here? I want to know everything.”
Sammy’s eyes squinted. Although this secret was linked to Eighteen Massacres, it was insignificant compared to the reward! Once they got the Hidden Job-Changing Token, they could sell it even if they did not change their job, and they would be able to lead a comfortable life. Thus, Sammy replied instantly, “Respectable Mr. Dragon Envoy, we are here today to join Mesosaprobic Shrine. To tell you the truth, we are here to steal the Dark Holy Water Source! Currently, our men are at...”
Sammy spilled all the beans in the face of gain.
Lin Jie was surprised—he was right! Eighteen Massacres had spent so much time in the Dark Shrine that he had gotten to know of the Dark Holy Water’s importance, so he had taken advantage of it. As long as he was able to retrieve the water source, it would be a piece of cake for him to become a Vice Shrine Master. He would then be able to get a large number of rewards through embezzlement.
The corners of Lin Jie’s lips curled as a plan begun forming.
His original idea was to: Transform into the Dragon Envoy, enter Mesosaprobic Shrine and offer King of Blood’s Corpse. Mesosaprobic Shrine definitely could not wait to accept it, and then Lin Jie would make use of the Brotherhood’s connections to hire a Blood Sub-Shrine player to inform Blood Tyrant. This would invoke a great war, and, hopefully, the Blood Sub-Shrine would be able to capture the Mesosaprobic Shrine. If they were neck to neck in strength, the Holy Church Army, which had already assembled outside, would be able to make a clean sweep and capture them all at once. Savage Blade and Lin Jie would then grab the water source amongst the chaos and escape, just in time for the final tournament.
However, he had a better idea now!
“Very well.” Lin Jie nodded, and a scorching hot Dragon Breath exploded from his mouth, instakilling the two Paladins. The Gold Greaves that Sammy had just received exploded out. Although there would be a system prompt message when a player was killed, it would only indicate that they were killed by the Dragon Envoy. As Lin Jie had a different identity now, he wasn’t afraid of getting exposed.
‘Eighteen Massacres, your plan of stealing the water source is pretty good! Hehe... too bad, I am here!’ Lin Jie smiled coldly, and he commanded the Fusion Giant behind to continue on to the Mesosaprobic Shrine.
The land around the shrine was like a foggy beach, and the shrine was as magnificent as a sea palace. However, Lin Jie felt countless glances shot at his way as he was nearing the shrine.
They were all players!
They were all Kingdom of Glory players!
There were at least 1,000 of them.
“That’s the Rare Elite that has a dozen of Gold and even Dark Gold equipment on him!”
“Really? A Rare Elite has so many treasures?”
“Nonsense! This is the Moratti Shrine Dragon Envoy. Dragon Envoys are Ambassadors, and they are very rich. Just now, Sammy saw that the envoy had a large amount of equipment, but he was killed by the dragon breath.”
“What is the Dragon Envoy doing here? Could it be a hidden mission? I think that’s highly possible!”
“Regardless, let’s just kill him later, the equipment on it will fetch a good price. We can then search for the Dark Holy Water Source afterward.”
Countless murmurings sounded; there was even a discussion on the splitting of equipment.
Lin Jie entered the shrine and bellowed, “Moratti Shrine Dragon Envoy, here to visit.”
“Hmph, Moratti Shrine? Your rationale is the closest to that of Blood Sub-Shrine, why are you here at the Mesosaprobic Shrine?” a voice sounded. It was a ferocious-looking three-headed serpent that looked as though it wanted to swallow Lin Jie whole.
This was the Sub-Legendary Boss—Three-Headed Serpent. Its three heads corresponded to 3 different attributes and had invincible Area-Of-Effect magic skills.
However, he was only the Vice Shrine Master. The Mesosaprobic Shrine Master was so mysterious that he had not even been seen during the destruction of Dark Shrine in the Main Track Mission in the previous 7 years.
