Chapter 598: Successful Recruitment
“Senior Duan He, I heard that you’ve been running around collecting spiritual ingredients because you contracted a Sea Demon Snake. Is it the Suzerain/Myth I Six-Headed Sea Demon Snake? If so, all the resources you’ve been trying to accumulate will eventually be devoured by it. You should be able to evolve it to Myth II, but it will grow a new head and become a Seven-Headed Sea Demon Snake. The Seven-Headed Sea Demon Snake will need a lot of law power to evolve to Myth III. I wonder where you’re planning on going in order to procure enough law power to evolve the Seven-Headed Sea Demon Snake from Myth II to Myth III?”
Duan He was not surprised by how well Lin Yuan knew about his need for resources.
Lin Yuan was the Moon Empress’ disciple. It was easy for Lin Yuan to uncover any secret in the entire Radiance Continent.
The legendary Hidden Moon Pavilion held even more secrets than the Spirit Guards’.
Duan He’s biggest issue at the moment was nurturing the Sea Demon Snake.
The Sea Demon Snake was already at the peak of Suzerain/Myth I, and Duan He had invested years of hard work into it.
All these years, Duan He had not even had the chance to rest at home. He spent every waking hour hard at work.
“If you’re able to obtain Law Crystals after joining Sky City, I can provide you with pure law power,” said Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan proclaimed his third layer of offering.
This was also the last layer of offering that Lin Yuan had prepared.
If Duan He rejected this as well, Lin Yuan would be at a loss.
If Duan He agreed, it would be great news to Lin Yuan.
Not only would Sky City gain a capable member that would increase its fighting ability, but the Law Crystals that Duan He would find would allow Lin Yuan to nurture his Sacred Sword Wielding Queen.
Duan He was stunned by Lin Yuan’s words, mumbling in disbelief, “Are you telling the truth?”
Lin Yuan looked straight at Duan He and nodded solemnly.
“Of course I’m telling the truth.”
Duan He immediately retracted his hand that was holding the 20 source-type items.
He called Lin Yuan ‘Young Master’ in a loud and clear bark.
“Young Master, do I need to swear using a Willpower Rune in order to join Sky City?”
Duan He was elated.
Even if Class 4 Creation Masters could also nurture Bronze/Legend feys, only Class 5 Creation Masters were able to draw out the pure law power from Law Crystals.
The three great Class 5 Creation Masters were the Moon Empress, Bamboo Monarch, and Chef Supreme.
The drain of drawing out law power was completely internal.
This was why Class 5 Creation Masters had so much authority and received so much respect.
Even if an even stronger emperor-class expert went to join a top faction, they would not be able to obtain the pure power of laws.
They would need to deeply comprehend laws when their contracted Suzerain feys evolved to Suzerain/Myth II or absorb Law Crystals that were compatible with their contracted fey’s type.
Naturally, allowing the fey to absorb the energy inside Law Crystals could not compare to pure law power.
As long as Duan He wanted to advance as a combat-class spirit qi professional, there was no way he could reject Lin Yuan’s offer.
Upon hearing Duan He’s prompt agreement, Lin Yuan said, “All you need to do is make an oath by a Law Rune to become mine and Sky City’s Protector.”
Duan He breathed a sigh of relief.
If Lin Yuan wanted Duan He to become his servant, Duan He would not have agreed no matter how attracted he was by Lin Yuan’s offer.
As an emperor-class expert, pride was more important than benefits.
Although not all emperor-class experts subscribed to this, it was a principle that Duan He lived by.
This principle allowed Duan He to have a sense of discipline whenever he was faced with temptation.
Duan He contemplated for a full three seconds before looking at Lin Yuan and said,” I know how to be your Protector. But, how am I supposed to protect a faction?”
In Duan He’s eyes, Lin Yuan was the head of Sky City. As Lin Yuan’s Protector, he needed to listen to Lin Yuan’s orders.
The way Duan He saw it, becoming Lin Yuan’s Protector was the equivalent of becoming Sky City’s Protector as well.
“As Sky City’s Protector, you need to protect every plant and everything in Sky City, even if it costs you your life. Meanwhile, I will make you stronger.”
Lin Yuan spoke with immense austerity.
He was completely different from the friendly person he usually was. He now seemed like an elite that was full of attacking power.
Lin Yuan had not thrown out so many offers in his effort to recruit Duan He to gain a useless layabout.
Thus, he laid out the conditions first.
Lin Yuan had grown and learned more about the world and his own power in the past half a year.
Given Lin Yuan’s abilities as a Creation Master, his Sacred Sword Wielding Queen would be able to help evolve Duan He’s Suzerain/Myth I Six-Headed Demon as long as Duan He found enough Law Crystals.
If Duan He was confident that the Sea Demon Snake could survive the Trial of World Creation, the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen could even help the Sea Demon Snake evolve to the Creation Nine-Headed Sea Demon Snake.
Lin Yuan did not talk to Duan He as the disciple of the Moon Empress. Instead, he spoke with his usual humility.
Lin Yuan’s words left Duan He at ease. Since he was going to join a faction, it was natural that he would have the duty of protecting everything in the faction.
Duan He bent over and bowed to Lin Yuan.
“Young Master, I can’t make an oath by a Law Rune on Star Web. However, I have decided to join Sky City and become your Protector.”
