Chapter 219 218-Blue Sea’s Promise

Chapter 219 Chapter218-Blue Sea's Promise

The unique class of Sea Mage was a serendipitous gain for Blue Sea during a quest.

The class's extraordinary mana regeneration ability, as well as its specialized capacity to learn deal arts damage effects, brought him unexpected joy.

Precisely because of this, ever since he became a Sea Mage, Blue Sea had incessantly yearned to discover its superior class – the hidden class known as "Sea King Mage".

Regrettably, even after exhausting all resources of his guild, he hadn't found any clues about the Sea King Mage.

Yet, against all odds, today, upon encountering this enigmatic creature with whom trades could be made, he stumbled upon the class change scroll for the Sea King Mage.

"How... how did you obtain this?" Blue Sea swiftly turned, his gaze locked intently on the Treasure Thief Rat, his voice quivering slightly.

The Treasure Thief Rat glanced in the direction Blue Sea was pointing and replied with evident impatience, "With so many treasures here, how could I possibly remember the specifics of how each one was acquired?"

"Have you made your choice? Which item are you looking to trade?"

Without a moment's hesitation, Blue Sea had already decided on trading for the Sea King Mage's class change scroll.

But before he could voice his decision, he remembered his earlier pact with Adam, who had chosen to purchase the map of the Godslayer Continent.

This meant that he had to select an item for trade that could be shared with Adam.

The class change scroll for the hidden class of Sea King Mage was not within this stipulated range.

Thus, Blue Sea reluctantly turned, his eyes filled with hope, to Adam. "Brother Adam, might I request the honor of trading for this class change scroll today? "

"You know the lengths I've gone to in search of it. If I don't seize it now, I may never have another chance... I'm willing to pay any price for this scroll."

Adam's brow furrowed in thought.

Deep down, he wasn't keen on Blue Sea becoming stronger.

In a sense, even though the duo maintained a favorable relationship at present, as the game progressed, their respective guilds would invariably compete.

The stronger Blue Sea became, the more significant the threat he posed to Adam's Genesis Guild.

Yet, Adam's character was dominant, and he had always disdained using underhanded methods to constrain a rival.

He was acutely aware of Blue Sea's relentless pursuit of the elusive Sea King Mage class.

After all, the Sea King Mage was a unique hidden class.

Meaning, across the entire Godslayer Continent, only the Treasure Thief Rat possessed a class change scroll for the Sea King Mage.

If Blue Sea missed this opportunity, the odds of him encountering another chance were almost nonexistent.

From the vantage of guild rivalry, the logical move for Adam would be to decline.

But as a friend, he lacked genuine grounds to do so. "You can, but I need a promise from you," Adam's calm voice emanated undeniable authority.

Blue Sea's face lit up with elation.

Without hesitation, he nodded, "Speak your terms, Brother Adam. As long as it's within my capabilities, I won't waver."

Adam glanced at him, speaking slowly, "The promise I seek from you isn't about personal matters. "

"I merely hope you can assure me that, in the future, the Blue Sea Guild will never stand against the Genesis Guild."

Blue Sea paused, his expression one of mild surprise. "Why say this, Brother Adam? Aren't our two guilds currently in a close collaboration? How can there be a possibility of becoming enemies?"

Adam shrugged, replying somewhat irritably, "Let's not kid ourselves. While our personal bond may be free from ulterior motives, when it comes to guilds, interests always take precedence. "

"No matter how closely we collaborate now, when vested interests clash, conflicts and competition are inevitable."

Blue Sea fell silent.

He understood the truth in Adam's words and grasped the underlying meaning Adam wished to convey.

After pondering for a brief moment, Blue Sea solemnly nodded, "Alright. I pledge on the honor of the Blue Sea Guild: within the realms of the Godslayer game, we will never become adversaries to the Genesis Guild."

Only then did Adam nod with satisfaction, "I trust in the character of the leader of the Blue Sea Guild. Since you've given your word, I won't stand in your way. "

"Now, all you need to consider is what you'll offer Treasure Thief Rat in exchange for the class change scroll."

Throughout their exchange, John remained silent, standing off to the side.

Being a former guild member himself, he was all too familiar with the intricacies of guild disputes.

He chose not to participate in their discussion, nor did he side with Blue Sea, despite their closer relationship.

John knew that such promises depended entirely on an individual's character.

If Blue Sea were a fickle or dishonest person, then any commitment made today would be rendered meaningless.

If Adam chose to trust Blue Sea's promise, it meant he believed Blue Sea to be a man of his word.

Blue Sea opened his inventory, scanning the items over and over.

He sought a piece of equipment of the same grade that could match the "Sea King Mage" class change scroll.

To some extent, this was a challenging endeavor.

Blue Sea was acutely aware of the scroll's immense value.

Whatever treasures he offered in exchange, it would be justified.

After much consideration, Blue Sea took out two items from his bag, presenting them to Treasure Thief Rat.

"Mr. Treasure Hunter Merchant, I'd like to offer these two items in exchange for the Sea King Mage's class change scroll. Do you deem them worthy?"

From the moment Blue Sea revealed the items, Treasure Thief Rat's round eyes lit up in excitement.

It was evident that he sensed the allure of rare treasures.

[Endless Sands (Legendary Item): Harvested from the Sandmother in the Extreme West Desert region of Godslayer Continent and combined with various precious ores. Crafted personally by a dwarf master, this unique item, when used, creates a quicksand trap in a designated area. Any enemies trapped within will experience a 90% reduction in movement speed, lasting for an hour...]

[Fate's Choice (Legendary Item): A special item blessed by the very God of Destiny. It appears as an ordinary six-sided dice, but it contains boundless magical energy. When used, depending on the number rolled, it predicts the level of danger in one's next action. It can be used only once a day...]

These were the treasures Blue Sea had painstakingly chosen to offer after weighing all his options—two invaluable legendary items.

While the Endless Sands, a consumable item that could only be used once, had impressive attributes, it didn't particularly astonish Treasure Thief Rat.

But this Fate's Choice was an entirely different matter.

An item that can predict fate, regardless of its grade, is of immeasurable value.

The God of Destiny is, after all, the most enigmatic of all deities.

Anything blessed by him, even if it were a mere lump of iron, could possess unimaginable mystical powers.

And considering this Fate's Choice is a legendary item, it's all the more precious.

For a mystical creature like Treasure Thief Rat, who loves to unearth treasures throughout the Godslayer Continent, an item predicting the danger level of his next action could significantly reduce the likelihood of encountering peril.

Almost without hesitation, Treasure Thief Rat nodded in agreement, "Done. The deal is sealed."

He eagerly took out the "Sea King Mage" class change scroll, placing it directly into Blue Sea's hands, while swiftly pocketing the two items Blue Sea had presented.

Judging by Treasure Thief Rat's elated expression, he surely got the better end of the bargain.

A brief look of reluctance flashed across Blue Sea's face.

To part with two legendary items of such caliber was not easy, even for him, the guild leader of a top-tier organization like Blue Sea Guild.

Were it not for the "Sea King Mage" class change scroll that he so coveted, Blue Sea would never have considered offering these two items.

After all, they were precious treasures that the Blue Sea Guild had expended considerable effort to acquire.

However, Blue Sea's momentary wistfulness vanished quickly, replaced by a sense of relief.

Being the open-hearted person he was, having decided to trade two legendary items for the class change scroll, he saw no reason for further regrets.

Yet, John, standing nearby, remarked wistfully, "Trading those two items for just a hidden class change scroll seems a bit... overkill."

Treasure Thief Rat instantly shot an incensed look at John, as if gazing upon a sworn enemy who had wronged him in the worst of ways.

Treasure Thief Rat was utterly disgusted by any act that might jeopardize a trade.

But he could never quite gauge the depths of John, and hence, dared not voice his objections.

Upon hearing John's reflective comment, Blue Sea responded with a carefree laugh, "There's no such thing as overkill in this matter... To me, while those two items are undeniably precious, they simply can't compare to the Sea King Mage class change scroll."

John nodded slowly, replying in his nonchalant manner, "True, as long as you believe it's worth it."

With both Blue Sea and Adam having completed their respective trades, only John was left to choose the treasure he desired.

Treasure Thief Rat turned its gaze to John, and for some reason, an uneasy premonition welled up inside it.
