Chapter 110: The Embryonic Form of the Capricorn Saint

Sun Fei was originally worried that those burly, rough blacksmiths might be unfriendly and that Charsi wouldn’t get along with them. However, it turned out that people with common interests often became close friends very quickly.

In fact, when Sun Fei first introduced Charsi to Samuel and the others, the blacksmiths of Shampoo City didn’t really trust this pretty girl. In their view, a missy like Charsi should stay quietly at home, warming the bed, folding quilts, and nursing babies, not playing with a hammer in front of a smoky furnace. But when Charsi picked up a huge hammer weighing over three hundred jin and forged a sharp longsword in less than ten minutes, everyone including “The Rock” Samuel was dumbfounded and almost swallowed their own tongues. They were blacksmiths, so they naturally recognized Charsi’s skilled techniques and incredible forging skills as she made the longsword. After that, they willingly followed her around and became apprentices to the busty beauty Charsi.

The life-skill NPCs from the World of Diablo and the natives of the Azeroth Continent quickly bonded together. Charsi’s superb forging skills won everyone over.

With Charsi’s help, the renovation of the Underground Grotto Labyrinth sped up greatly. According to Prison Warden Oleg’s estimate, the initial renovation of the Underground Grotto Labyrinth could be completed in at most half a month.

“Tell Pierce, Drogba, and the others to wait for me in this stone hall in four hours.”

Sun Fei gave Prison Warden Oleg some instructions on what to pay attention to next. He then summoned the Mercenary Beauty Ileena and her few sisters from the World of Diablo to guard the Underground Grotto Labyrinth and prevent the mysterious intruder from last night from causing trouble again. After that, he rode on Black Whirlwind, and the man and dog left the Underground Grotto Labyrinth.

The Big Black Dog dashed wildly along the mountain path, moving extremely agilely. Sun Fei felt no bumpiness at all while riding on its back. In less than ten minutes, they arrived at the Courier Station District of Shampoo City.

The bloody massacre that happened last night at the Thrace Kingdom’s courier station hadn’t been exposed yet. Prince Modric of the Reke Kingdom had his accompanying Mage set up a small scent-blocking array around the courier station, so the smell of blood didn’t spread. When Sun Fei arrived, the place was still under strict surveillance by Shampoo City’s Royal Guard.

“Your Majesty!”

Upon seeing Sun Fei arrive, the lead guard captain Ivanovich hurriedly saluted.

He was a strong, silent man who had also followed Sun Fei in the previous Stone Bridge battle against the Black Armored Army. He was originally a stonemason with innate Divine Power, but now he was one of the guard captains of Sun Fei’s guard and one of Sun Fei’s currently trusted close followers, which was why he was chosen to blockade the Thrace Kingdom’s courier station.

“My dear guard captain, you’ve worked hard!”

Sun Fei patted Ivanovich’s shoulder, indicating that he should continue blockading the courier station stone fort and not let anyone in. He himself, along with the Big Black Dog, jumped directly over the more than four-meter-high stone wall.

The scent of blood still permeated the courtyard everywhere. A lot of blood had congealed on the ground into black, hard clumps. The physicians had worked through the night to thoroughly inspect the scene, but they hadn’t found any new clues. Sun Fei came here not to seek the truth of the massacre, but to… find these corpses.

In Sun Fei’s eyes, these scumbags from the Thrace Kingdom deserved to die, but their corpses were what Sun Fei needed most right now—they could be used to perform the Barbarian’s skill Find Potion.

In the previous ten-plus days, because Shampoo City didn’t have a large number of corpses, Sun Fei found it hard to use the Find Potion skill, and the Hulk Potion he obtained was very limited. But now, there were over 200 corpses right before his eyes, and they were all soldiers from an enemy country. Sun Fei could use these corpses with a clear conscience.

He crouched down, pressed his right hand against a corpse’s chest, and released a faint Magic power from his palm. The Find Potion skill was instantly activated.

Bang!

The corpse shattered, and thick, bloody fluid flew out. No potion was obtained.

But it didn’t matter. There were plenty of corpses here for him to use. Sun Fei could afford such a rate of failure. Moreover, his Barbarian Character had already leveled up to 21, so the success rate of finding potions had greatly increased.

For the next two-plus hours, Sun Fei kept repeating the same motion. The Barbarian’s originally limited Magic value was rapidly consumed. Fortunately, he had previously exchanged for enough Magic Recovery Potion to replenish it in time, so he could continuously use the Find Potion skill over and over without rest.

During this process, the Big Black Dog kept sniffing around as it patrolled the entire courier station, trying to find something, but it didn’t seem to be making much progress.

“Let’s go, Xiao Hei. There’s nothing here worth your lingering.”

Sun Fei had used the Find Potion skill 130 times, consumed 16 bottles of Magic Recovery Potion, and had a success rate of about twenty percent. In total, he obtained 26 bottles of Hulk Potion. Although the quantity was still not large, it was enough for his next plan.

The man and dog left the Thrace Kingdom courier station.

Ten minutes later, he found Divine Master Ma at the church.

“A total of 11,000 Magic Stones. Knight Luciano personally rushed back to St. Petersburg to exchange for them and escorted them back…” The knight’s attendants laboriously carried ten huge black iron cast boxes and placed them before Sun Fei. Mazzola pointed to the cross sword indentation on one of the boxes and carefully explained, “These holy boxes were specially designed and forged by the Holy Church to preserve precious scriptures. Unless the purest Holy Power is infused into this cross sword pattern, they simply cannot be opened. If brute force is used, it will directly destroy the contents stored inside.”

Before coming to the church, Sun Fei had already switched to Paladin Mode. So, moved by a thought, a stream of golden Paladin power shot from his fingertip and infused into the cross sword pattern on the holy box. A light sound of mechanisms clicking was heard, followed by the blooming of tiny Holy Power rings. With a click, the box automatically opened.

Red light instantly filled the slightly dim back chamber of the church.

The holy box was fully packed with over a thousand uniformly Fire Element Magic Stones. According to the terminology in the World of Diablo, they should be called Chipped Ruby. They sparkled with a dazzling red light, and a slightly scorching heat wafted through the air. These beautiful and precious little stones were utterly mesmerizing.

“In the other holy boxes, categorized accordingly, are filled with Magic Stones of other elements: water, earth, metal…” Divine Master Mazzola wore his usual humble, fawning expression as he explained to Sun Fei one by one. By now, he completely regarded Sun Fei as the legendary God’s Favored One of the Holy Church, without a trace of doubt. He was solely focused on how to cling firmly to Sun Fei’s thick golden thigh, so he could rise high in the future.

“En, well done!” Sun Fei nodded satisfactorily. “These elemental gems will stay in the church for now. If I need them, I will naturally send someone to fetch them.”

Sun Fei took some elemental gems of various types from each holy box and put them in his pouch, leaving the remaining over 10,000 stones in the church. This was his decision after careful thought. Currently, Shampoo City was shrouded in dark clouds, and the Underground Grotto Labyrinth in the Back Mountain wasn’t very safe either. It was possible that even his every move was being closely watched. These gems couldn’t be moved for the time being, and keeping them in the church was the safest option. After all, the Holy Church was notoriously fearsome on the Azeroth Continent and was extremely protective of its own. Generally, experts didn’t dare to act recklessly in the church.

“It is my honor to serve you, my lord!”

Hearing that Sun Fei was leaving such a huge amount of gems in the church for him to safeguard, Mazzola was ecstatic. What an important task this was, and the lord actually entrusted it to him. Seeing that Sun Fei had completely trusted him and regarded him as one of his own, Mazzola felt that his efforts during this period had finally paid off.

…

After leaving the church, Sun Fei rode the Big Black Dog and wandered idly around the city for a while. Then, he turned into a black whirlwind and quickly returned to the Back Mountain, entering the Underground Grotto Labyrinth. The perimeter surveillance of the Back Mountain restricted area was now handled by the over one hundred soldiers carefully selected by Cech, who had already taken the diluted Hulk Potion. Pierce, Drogba, and the others were all waiting in the stone hall of the Underground Grotto Labyrinth.

“Your Majesty!”

Upon seeing Sun Fei arrive, Pierce and the others didn’t hide their admiration. They knelt to welcome him. On the Azeroth Continent, where the Law of the Jungle prevailed, the strong could always easily win the worship of warriors.

“All rise!”

Sun Fei turned and went to the seat in the stone hall. His gaze swept over each person.

Everyone sensed the solemn atmosphere.

His Majesty the King seemed to have something extremely important to announce.

Sun Fei’s eyes finally settled on the white-haired fierce man Pierce. This exceptionally brave and fierce warrior had given Sun Fei an unimaginable shock during their first meeting. On the city wall, during the bloody battle, to overturn the Black Armored Army’s Siege Ladder, it was this white short-haired man who was willing to use his own flesh to lock down the enemy’s black sword… It was also this fierce warrior who later voluntarily followed him to charge against thousands of Black Armored Army soldiers, loyal to the core, even willing to bleed and die in battle.

The impression Pierce gave Sun Fei gradually overlapped with another figure in Sun Fei’s mind.

A golden light suddenly shone. A Two-Handed Broadsword with an ancient design appeared in Sun Fei’s hand. “This golden sword has a glorious name—Excalibur. It was once held by the world’s most loyal warrior. This warrior’s name was Asura. In Asura’s hands, this sword possessed a power that made the gods fear and tremble. It could shatter all substances in the world, destroy all evil and fear in the world. It was a sword of evil-slaying, a sword of protection, a sword of glory, a sword of loyalty, a sword of the Warrior. Today, right here, I will bestow this sword upon one of you!”

Sun Fei held the sword hilt. Golden light enveloped him, making him seem like the God King incarnate.

His gaze, carrying a smile, ultimately settled on Pierce.
