I've Become the King of Villains in the Game

Chapter 373: Chapter 245 Snow Crystal City_2
 

But with the chaos in the Red Apple Church, the branches of the Silver Dragon Trade Association throughout the Empire were somewhat affected, especially here.

If this branch were destroyed, it would be a major blow to the entire Silver Dragon Trade Association.

The main reason was the absence of the current trade manager Rosa, who had taken away a large part of the trained combat power of the Trade Association, resulting in the current emptiness of the branch.

“Noah, have you made any progress with your promotion to Sequence Seven?”

Chen Lun asked.

“Mhm.”

Noah nodded and gave a shy smile.

“My sister had already prepared the Supernatural Knowledge of ‘Ghoul’ for me, and I completed my Mystical Accumulation some time ago… It’s just that the promotion ceremony is a bit troublesome.”

He said, his face falling.

“According to the promotion requirements of the ‘Ghoul,’ the ritual site must be prepared in advance, and then, at the moment when spirituality is most abundant, consume a complete corpse of a Sequence Seven Transcendent…

Although I enjoy gourmet food, I have some difficulty overcoming my own inner hurdle.”

Chen Lun looked at Noah, smiled, and patted his arm to comfort him.

“The promotion ceremony of the Supernatural Sequence is actually a process that predecessors summed up to digest and accept Supernatural Knowledge… Some methods have become mainstream simply because they are the most efficient, but they are not the only ones.”

“Yes, Mr. Jack.”

Noah nodded, his smile returning to his face.

“You are truly knowledgeable. This secret information was only recently shared by my sister when I wrote to her expressing my distress… There indeed are several types of promotion ceremonies for ‘Ghouls.’ I have already found the one that suits me best!”

He took a deep breath and shifted his uncomfortable position.

“This trip to help the Trade Association resolve troubles is a good opportunity to attempt it, and if successful, I will become the second Mid Sequence Transcendent of the Circus after you!”

“I believe you can do it, Noah.”

Chen Lun said with a smile.

At the same time, he was inwardly moved.

‘This is a BOSS-level seed player with huge potential… Of course, only they can keep up with my pace.’

At that moment, the large pig beneath him trembled, apparently uncomfortable with Noah’s earlier shift.

Snort snort…

The Messenger also let out several discontented noises.

Chen Lun immediately gave it a strong smack.

Smack!

“What’s all this snorting and snuffling about? I warn you, next time you come to see me, check the situation in advance… Disturb my good deeds again, and I’ll chop you up and use you for brewing.

I most damn well love to eat Supernatural Creatures like you, three meals a day, never the same meal twice.”

Chen Lun, clutching the pig’s ear, said fiercely.

Snort!

The Spirit World Messenger almost stumbled, nearly throwing the two riders off its back.

It got another strong smack.

It whimpered pitifully.

The southern border of the Empire.

Snow Crystal City.

This city, also under the jurisdiction of the Gem State, is a major metropolis, but due to harsh environmental conditions and severe cold, it is the least prosperous among many cities.

But because it borders Shuoli, the capital, it holds special significance.

Snow Crystal City, unlike Amber City, does not have a clear distinction between inner and outer cities. It is located on a mountainside, nestled against the Ambus Holy Mountain Range, and its areas are divided in a terraced manner.

On the other side of the Ambus Holy Mountain Range lies the capital city of the Kingdom, Shuoli.

At this moment, at the highest part of Snow Crystal City, among a cluster of buildings, a branch of the Silver Dragon Trade Association was situated.

The third floor of the building housed a conference room, where five or six men dressed in suits and top hats stood by the window.

They smoked their pipes, their faces grim as they looked towards the end of the street.

It was crowded with Empire guards and some men and women in silver robes. These people stood guard under high walls, and through the heavy metal bars, one could see a raging fire in the city below.

Faint screams and intense explosions came from there.

Countless frenzied figures, waving disgusting tentacles, moved through the streets.

Snow Crystal City only has three official Supernatural forces, besides the Shelter present in every city, the other two are the Red Apple Church and the Constellation Sect.

The followers of the Constellation Sect are not widespread in the Empire because they generally only preach in the southern and eastern border areas of the Empire, being one of the less noticeable members among the Seven Righteous God Churches.

But here, they have become an important role in defending against the “Red Calamity.”

“Kaibak, how’s it going with the reinforcements?”

A bald, plump middle-aged man took a puff from his pipe and asked the man leading them.

Kaibak’s hair was graying, but he was strong and robust, and one could still see traces of his younger handsomeness in his brows and eyes.

“Our directly affiliated Silver Dragon Guard was mostly taken away by Rosa, and the rest are scattered everywhere. I don’t know how long it will take to mobilize them… and with the unrest everywhere in the Empire, it’s difficult to organize manpower.”

Kaibak said.

His eyes were sharp, his face stern.

“My niece left a mess and ran off; after this is over, I will propose her impeachment at the board meeting. She’s too young and not suitable for leading the Trade Association…”

The other executives exchanged glances.

Another short old man said:

“Kaibak, now is not the time to talk about impeachment. The most important thing is how to solve the current situation… The monsters from the Red Apple Church have already spread to the core urban area, and neither the Constellation Sect nor the Shelter may be able to hold them back.”
