Chapter 526: Light Bearer Website

[Hearing your question, Paul replied, "I have good news! The Light Bearer Association has agreed to let Your Excellency become an Emperor-grade Blacksmith without taking a test, and you can start accepting commissions now."]

["They’ve also already confirmed Your Excellency’s identity and that you’re indeed a native Terran, so no issues on that part."]

[Taking out a card from his storage bracelet, Paul threw it to you, which you caught with ease.]

[He explained, "That card is proof of Your Excellency’s identity as an Emperor-grade Blacksmith. It’s not just made out of paper and is a technological creation, so it will update your status in the Light Bearer Association and your history of commissions."]

["To access the Light Bearer Association’s website for Light Bearers-only, the website URL and your unique password for account registration are displayed at the back."]

["If Your Excellency also needs to contact me, I’ve already sent an automated invitation to your account. So by the time you register it, you should receive a friend request from me. You can send me private messages there if you have any instructions, or you can also meet me at my residence."]

[After telling you about his home address, Paul asked if you had any other questions or doubts left, to which you replied that there were none.]

[Due to this, you bid farewell to Paul and decided to return to the Light Bearer Ship to register your account.]

[Currently, Lilith was already in seclusion since she also didn’t want to be left behind by you.]

[Heading to your room, you used XX-rank Machine God Genesis to create a computer for yourself that has a built-in AI whose capabilities were beyond the technological era of Terra.]

[You weren’t surprised the Light Bearer Association confirmed your identity and background, since it indeed existed in Terra. It was only due to Fated Encounter (Red) that you had arrived at Pink Lust World by accident.]

[Otherwise, you were a true native of Terra, and it’s also the reason why you could see those Treasure Chests, which even XX-rank All Seeing Eyes couldn’t detect.]

[Since your identity wasn’t an issue, it wasn’t that difficult for you to be registered in the Light Bearer Association, especially with Paul’s recommendation.]

[Even among City Guardians, Paul was in a high-ranking position. The city he guarded was a first-rate city. Even the capital city of each country would only have Peak Light Emperor rank powerhouses who’d act as the City Guardian.]

[Only those cities that were at risk of being invaded would have a Light Sage stationed as the City Guardian. But in most cases, most first-rate cities and capital cities would only have Light Emperors.]

[After all, above City Guardians were the National Guardians, which would require at least a Light Sage to take post as one. Unlike City Guardians, they were tasked to protect the entire country, and they had the authority to mobilize and command the City Guardians below them.]

[However, the existence of the Light Bearer Association meant that there were more Light Sages who didn’t act as National Guardians and were relatively free.]

[They were the reserve force who’d be called upon whenever there were dark monster invasions that even the National Guardian couldn’t deal with alone.]

[But as an Emperor-grade Blacksmith, that wasn’t part of your worries. Although your combat power was at Light Emperor rank and even Paul vouched for it, you’ve discovered that the Light Bearer Association still labeled you as a Moonlight rank Light Bearer.]

[Even with Paul’s guarantee and recommendation, you still have to show up at the Light Bearer Association’s headquarters if you wanted the status and rank of a Light Emperor within the association. Tests would still be conducted as they were required when registering for Light Bearer rank.]

[’It doesn’t matter much, since the Emperor-grade Blacksmith identity is more valuable than the Light Bearer rank equivalent of it. There are many Light Emperors in the association, but so few Emperor-grade Blacksmiths.’]

[’Moreover, the resources I can see and exchange for in the Association’s Treasury are much more than the average Light Emperor. The identity of a blacksmith is more valuable than a Light Bearer in the later ranks.’]

[’The merit points acquired for completing blacksmith commission tasks are much more than eliminating Dark Monsters of the same rank. And that’s even excluding the payment I’d receive from the client.’]

[’The merit points are issued by the Light Bearer Association, while the payment is separate from it since it’s something that the client will pay for from their own pockets.’]

[Thinking of this, you browsed the Light Bearer Association’s exchange list and discovered a few items that weren’t even added to your exchange list yet.]

[After all, the resources you’ve acquired in the inheritance weren’t much and only went as far as Light Sage-grade. That inheritance mostly emphasized the recorded Light Bearer skills and techniques.]

[In other words, as long as you become a Sage-grade Blacksmith and have enough merit points, it wouldn’t even be impossible to exchange for Light Sovereign-grade items.]

[At that point, you could acquire Light Bearer items at Light Sovereign-grade without having to risk your life, merely having to forge Light Bearer items and artifacts for them.]

[So after you’ve registered your account and browsed through the Light Bearer Website, you went to the web page which was for Light Bearer Blacksmiths to accept commissions that were requested by clients.]

[Of course, as an Emperor-grade Blacksmith, you could also post that you were accepting commissions, which would definitely attract those Light Kings and Light Emperors who needed a Light Emperor-grade item.]

[Browsing through the web page, you muttered. "There sure are a lot of Emperor-grade item commissions, yet most of them haven’t been accepted by Emperor-grade Blacksmiths."]

["The prices those clients have offered weren’t an issue, but the problem was the lack of Emperor-grade Blacksmiths."]

["Since there are plenty of Light Emperors who needed a custom Light Emperor-grade artifact, the Emperor-grade Blacksmiths couldn’t complete all the commissions listed on the web page."]

["At most, they could only accept those commissions that had the most lucrative rewards."]
