Li Yi looked at Little Merchant and did not say anything.
Little Merchant did not know why, but he felt a trace of regret after he said that. He felt that this guy really could do it, but he was still stubborn and would not back down on his end of the deal that easily.
“If you have nothing else to say, I’m leaving!”
Right when Little Merchant was about to take his leave, he suddenly saw the sealed door slowly open, revealing the extremely luxurious shop inside.
The golden resplendent roof and the crystal chandelier that reflected light looked to be equally as luxurious. The marble floor reflected the shadows of the two people who stood at the entrance, as if they were stepping on a mirror.
In front of the snow-white walls, there was a large number of strange and unknown plants. At a first glance, it was as if one had entered a sea of plants, causing one’s mind and body to relax.
Little Merchant carefully walked in, his feelings were all over the place as he observed the surroundings.
Li Yi smiled faintly, “You can figure out how to get around, right? There are still a few floors upstairs. I don’t lack gold coins at the moment, so those gold coins we earned back then can be used as the starting capital here!”
[System Notification: Carefree Dream, level 2 authority of the Heaven Shop — no. 1 has been granted to the player Little Merchant!]
Little Merchant looked at the authority granted to him in a daze. After a long while, he asked, “This... is this really yours? How did you do it?”
Li Yi had left the shop long ago. After all, time was running out. The little merchant shook his head and sighed. “F*ck! This guy really played me like a fiddle! He’s about to earn a whole lot of coins soon!”
However, Little Merchant looked at the things around him and immediately threw this matter to the back of his mind. He immediately ran to the second floor. He had to quickly familiarize himself with this place so that he could get down to business!
...
Li Yi came to the front of the NPC teleporter and handed over 20 silver coins.
“I want to go to the Imperial City!”
Li Yi wanted to go to the Imperial City, which was the capital of the Ghana Empire. Under normal circumstances, only those who had reached the second transition sublimation were qualified to enter. Of course, there were still special opportunities to enter.
The teleporter immediately said, “I’m sorry Adventurer, you don’t have the right to enter at the moment!”
Li Yi took out the explosive python core and said directly, “I’m going to the Imperial City to change my profession to Heavy Armored Dragon Knight. Do I still not have the right to go through?”
The teleporter turned pale with fright and hurriedly said, “What? Change your profession to Heavy Armored Dragon Knight!! You... of course you have the right! There’s no need for the teleportation fee, your matter at hand seems important!”
Immediately after, the teleportation door in front of him turned and a white light enveloped it. Then, with a turn of his gaze, he arrived at the capital of the Ghana Empire — the Imperial City.
Compared to the Emperor City, the Imperial City’s security was extremely tight. There were people patrolling the city day and night, and every player that was teleported here would be questioned.
“Halt! Who goes there?”
Li Yi had just appeared when he was stopped by two armored soldiers. Seeing this, he immediately took out the explosive python core. Before Li Yi could say anything, the soldier’s expression changed when they saw the core. The man who spoke with a cold tone became warm and his eyes were filled with envy.
“So you were the adventurer who has come to change your class to Heavy Armored Dragon Knight. Commander has already given the order that there will be someone coming to change their class. I apologize for my behavior, sir, please follow me!”
“Alright!”
Li Yi put the core back into his backpack and the two soldiers led him into the city.
As he followed the two guards, he could hear loud clamoring sounds. Looking around, he could see people hustling and bustling everywhere. They were all the original residents of the capital.
The liveliness could not be compared to other places.
The capital was divided into the outer city and the inner city. The outer city was the area for the commoners and players to move around. When the players reached a higher level and could come here, it would become more lively.
As for the inner city, only important institutions and ministers could live there. Ordinary players were not qualified to enter either.
Under the lead of the soldiers, Li Yi did not encounter any obstruction along the way. In the Ghana Empire, the status of a Heavy Armored Dragon Knights could be said to be outstanding. It was not an exaggeration to say that this one person’s status would be far superior to ten thousand people.
Every soldier that passed by looked at this place with envy. The Heavy Armored Dragon Knights could be said to be the occupation that they wanted the most!
Li Yi soon arrived at a military camp. A unique aura surrounded this place, and it exuded a heart-palpitating sense of sternness.
If this was his first time being here, he would definitely feel a strong sense of discomfort towards this kind of atmosphere. However, he had seen this kind of scene many times in his previous life. As time passed, he had long gotten used to it.
Along the way, he passed by the martial arts practice field. Many cavalrymen were carrying out drills, charging in the formation as one. The warhorses in iron armor let out a loud neigh, and the ground trembled slightly where they stepped.
Li Yi could only see the names of these cavalrymen. As for their levels and HP, it was all question marks.
Each cavalryman carried a powerful aura that made people feel apprehensive. An NPC of this level with this current strength would instantly kill anyone if players fought against them. They would not be able to put up a fight at all!
After all, this was the strength of the Ghana Empire. It would be a joke if these men could not kill a level 10 player!
...
Li Yi quickly arrived in front of a huge tent.
The soldier immediately said, “Commander is waiting for you inside. We shall part here!”
“Alright! Thank you for your hard work!”
Li Yi then walked towards the entrance. There were no guards here, so he easily walked in.
He saw a person with his back facing him. This person was dressed in pitch-black iron armor, and his blood-red cape looked as if it was dyed with blood.
This person was nearly nine feet tall, and his back was upright, like a tall mountain that stood in front of him.
The moment Li Yi walked in, he felt the terrifying pressure coming from this person, as well as the endless killing aura that was exuded!
[NPC Manicco — Commander of Knights]
The stronger an NPC was, the stronger their intelligence would be. They could even remember every player they met and call out their names.
Players and such NPCs had to be treated equally. One should not feel superior towards them just because they were NPCs. Otherwise, it would definitely be the players who would be at a disadvantage.
Li Yi slowly walked forward. Before he could say anything, the Commander turned around with an amiable look on his face. He actually could not feel the killing aura that he felt just now.
Li Yi saluted and said, “Commander of Knights!”
Manicco’s eyes revealed an extremely satisfied expression. Just now, he deliberately released his killing aura to test the depth of this adventurer.
What made him extremely satisfied was that although this person’s strength was a little weak, he was not afraid at all. He even walked forward and introduced himself.
In his eyes, only those who had fearless courage could become strong. Otherwise, even if they were given a divine artifact, they would still be trash.
Manicco nodded with a smile.. “Alright! You’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
