Chapter 343 - 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 Dark 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-Grade 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 our rescue and get some rewards, I may even the chick that I have been trying to hook 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 these people were from the Dark Shrine.

“Summon the young dragons, self-detonation, self-detonation!” A highly intelligent Moratti Dragono Envoy that 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 this was 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 were a mixture of gold and dark gold shards. 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 wass a Dragon Envoy that held high status in the Dark Shrine. If he was 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 NPC. The Demonic Dragon Crown’s transformation skill would be weakened and lose the ‘Dark Shrine Reputation and Admiration’ characteristics and 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.

Hence, after entering Mesosaprobic Shrine, Lin Jie made the Savage Blade attacked him with full force to create the facade to prevent getting exposed. This would definitely hooked a bunch of people given the numerous players that were entering the shrine currently.

Indeed, eyeing the advantages that the Dragon Envoy during battle, Sammy and the other Paladin rushed up and joined in the fight. Their shouts and attacks made the Savage Blade retreat continuously. It was surprising that the rumoured malicious and invincible Savage Blade Guild had zero resistance and 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 boss isn’t losing any life, he is possessed by Brother X!”

Baili Changcheng was astonished as well, “What a terrifying item! It’s so invincible that it can exterminate masses with just one equipment, if he uses this in the final tournament, who can even go against him?”

“Some of the Dark Shrine players caught the bait!” Netherblue shouted in the team, “Get ready to retreat! We will locate the few source coordinates given by Fu Sheng according to plan, the source respawns randomly, so this will probably take up a lot of our time. Large amount of monster also respawn 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 the Mixed Breathless and The Heavenly Shield could not withstand the flame intensity from the Dragon Breath and was burnt, hence he shouted, “The enemy is too tough, retreat!” The Savage Blade guild then fled in disorder and vanished within sight.

Lin Jie that had transformed into the Moratti Dragon Envoy breathed a sigh of relief as the guild disappeared from sight. Their first step of the plan has succeeded! Next up, it would be the triple-pronged approach that consisted of Holy Church’s external attack, Savage Blade locating the source while clearing monsters and him to provoke the conflict.

The water vapour in Mesosaprobic Shrine was very dense, other than the safety zones, all locations would constantly respawn various level 30 to 60 Mesosaprobic Elements. Normal players would not dare to venture much in fear of a level decrease. However, Savage Blade Guild was extremely powerful hence 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 got 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 gold grade Greaves and threw it straight to Sammy.

Magical Wind Greaves (Gold)

Requires: Level 30

Defence: 45-84

Magic Defence: 22

Strength: 10

Wisdom: 10

Defence Level: 2

Wind Resistance: 20

Additional: When you are under attack, there is a 5% chance that the attack will be judged as a a Wind attribute attack.

“Oh my god, level 30 gold grade Greaves!” Sammy was ecstatic, he never knew that the ‘envoy’ would be so generous and reward a pair level 30 gold greaves! To think that all they did 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 Grade 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 that came from Baili Xuanyuan! Even Baili Xuanyuan did not dare to expose that he possessed this sort of treasure, otherwise he would be 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, otherwise, die!” Lin Jie warned pretentiously.

Sammy nodded his head 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 both of them, hence he asked, “Human from alternate realms, why are they here? I want to know everything.”

Sammy’s eyes turned, although this secret was linked to Eighteen Massacres boss, however 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, he 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 to know of the importance of Dark Holy Water hence he took 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 amount 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 cannot wait to accept it and then Lin Jie would make use of Brotherhood’s connections to hire a Blood Sub Shrine player to inform the Blood Tyrant. This would invoke a great war and hopefully Blood Sub Shrine would be able to capture Mesosaprobic Shrine. If they were neck to neck in strength, the Holy Church Army that has already assembled outside would be able to make a clean sweep and capture them all at once. Savage Blade and him 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 and insta killed the two paladins. The Gold Greaves that Sammy just received exploded out. Although there would be a system prompt message when a player is killed, however it would only indicate that he was killed by the dragon envoy. As Lin Jie was 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, as 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 his way as he was nearing the shrine.

They were all players!

They were all Kingdom of Glory players!

There were at least a thousand 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 has 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!”

“Irregardless, let’s just kill him later, those equipment will fetch a good price. We can then search for the Dark Holy Water source afterwards.”

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 rational is the closest to that of Blood Sub Shrine, why are you here at Mesosaprobic Shrine?” A voice sounded, and it was the ferocious looking three-headed Serpent that looked as though it wanted to swallow Lin Jie whole.

This was the Sub Legendary Grade BOSS — Three-headed Serpent.It’s three head 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 was not even seen during the destruction of Dark Shrine in the Main Track mission in the previous 7 years.
