Hail the King

Chapter 417: Boost in Strength

“Don’t do this ever again, you hear me?”

Although Fei gradually calmed down after seeing the effect of the potion taking place, he had to remind Elena and instill that idea in her mind.

His worried and unsettled expression made Elena who was enduring a lot of pain laugh out loud.

“Laughing? You can still laugh?” Fei stared at Elena and growled, “If you do this again, I won’t bring you on missions and quests anymore!”

A beautiful smile appeared on Elena’s face as her eyes shone.

Although she didn’t say anything, the stubbornness in her eyes told Fei that she would follow him to wherever he goes.

Any man would be taken by a beautiful smile like that, especially when the girl was usually a cold yet emotionless goddess.

Fei was no exception; Elena’s smile almost blinded him.

It was just irresistible!

Fei lowered his head and kissed her on her red lips.

All of a sudden, it seemed like the summit of Mount Arreat turned warmer, and the snow turned purer and whiter.

After the kiss, smiles appeared on both Fei’s and Elena’s face.

However, since it wasn’t the right place to get affectionate, Fei took out a few more bottles of potion and healed Elena completely.

“We don’t have much time today. It seems like we can only kill Baal next time.”

Fei couldn’t wait! That was the last quest! As long as he entered [Worldstone Chamber] and killed the final boss Baal, everything would be completed in the normal mode. According to the construct of the game on Earth, he could be going into the nightmare mode. It was evident that this Diablo World wasn’t a 100% copy of the game, so what was going to happen?

Fei felt like the opportunity for him to advance to a Moon-Class Elite was close.

“Alexander, I feel like something is changing inside my body……” Elena frowned and said to Fei; when she killed Madawc, that golden energy from Madawc also entered her body.

Before Fei could reply, changes occurred.

A beam of white light dashed down from the sky and enveloped Fei.

“I’m leveling up……” Fei murmured. Although this was the typical process of leveling up, Fei was soon surprised. “One level…… two levels…… three levels……” the king was shocked by what was going on. The leveling up process took way longer this time! When that white beam of light disappeared, he realized that he was already…… level 99?!

“Leveled to the max? How? I got to the max level of 99 before killing the final boss Baal…… what would happen once I kill Baal and his subordinates? Surpass level 100?” Fei was a little stunned.

By leveling up from level 91 to level 99, Fei got eight new skill points and 40 attribute points; it was a huge reward.

When he opened up his skill tree, he realized something strange.

Both [Leap Attack] and [Whirlwind] reached level 24; Fei remembered that he put little points into the two skills.

“Could it be……”

Fei thought back to the golden energies from Korlic and Talic that got into his body. “Could it be that the golden energies were the essence of the two Ancients which contained their understanding of the two skills?”

“Alexander, I…… I think I learned a new throwing skill.”

Elena’s surprised tone proved Fei’s hypothesis. The golden energy that entered Elena’s body was Madawc’s essence which contained his skill [Double Throw].

……

When Fei returned to the real world, it was in the afternoon.

The invaders of Jax still hadn’t attacked the city; that quietness made everyone except Fei very confused.

By this time, Shevchenko and Ribry had already selected the 200 elite soldiers, and they were doing some final preparation for the mission tonight. The rookies in the militia were undergoing proper training, and their shouts were filled with motivation.

The streets got a little busy as well when some of the merchants resumed their business activities; the arrival of Fei and the herald brigade of [Wolf Teeth Legion] brought everyone in the city a lot of hope.

“Go to the camp of the native forces and look for a low-level commander named Emile Husky; bring him here.”

Drogba was confused by Fei’s order. Although he didn’t know why Fei needed to see a low-level commander, he followed the order and left the watchtower.

Fei stood on top of the west gate and looked at the sun as he thought back to the advice he got from the two magic boxes.

“Looks like I need to listen to the Elder Princess’ and Paris’ advice. Haha! These two women who see each other as mortal enemies have such similar ideas! So, the person who knows you the best is your enemy, huh?”

Fei found it funny when he thought back to the content in the magic boxes.

“Sir, the division manager from Soros’ Merchant Group is here to see you.”

At this moment, one of Fei’s guards came up and reported.

“Soros’ Merchant Group?”

Fei nodded and thought, “The manager from Soros Merchant Group is finally here to see me.”

“Let him come in,” Fei said.

“As you wish.”

Fei turned around and went back into the watchtower. As soon as he sat down, the Ophiuchus Saint Seiya walked in with a merchant-looking man who was in his 40s.

This man was almost 1.9 meters tall, and he was neither fat and thin. His facial features were sharp, and his blue eyes weren’t big. If someone looked closer, they could see the shyness in his eyes.

He had a smile on his face, and a well-styled yellow beard circled his smile. By just looking at him, one would have a hard time believing that this shy man who was wearing a traditional grey robe was one of the division managers of the most prominent business group on the continent.

However, Fei didn’t underestimate this man.

If someone took an even closer look, they would find a trace of calculation in the deepest part of his eyes. His shy smile could instantly buy someone’s trust and lower someone’s guard, but he wasn’t dumb. You could only find this look on someone who was brave yet intelligent.

“Such a terrifying person……”

This man’s appearance could have fooled Fei if Fei didn’t study this manager named Roman Abramovich. If Fei didn’t know how this man terrified the desert bandits and became one of the most powerful and bloody figures in this desert region, he would have been fooled.

As Fei politely invited this man to sit down, he told himself that he shouldn’t be fooled by this sly fox.

“I have been longing to visit Your Majesty, but I was afraid of bothering you during work. Therefore, I only dared to come here after you finished dealing with most of the complicated matter in the city,” Roman said with a smile on his face; his tone was very polite.

However, Fei’s Barbarian’s sharp six sense told him that this man was carefully observing him like a merchant speculating a deal; he knew that this man was thinking if he was worth the investment.

“Could it be that Manager Roman came to the most dangerous place in Dual-Flags City to just visit me?” Fei asked with a smile on his face.

There were two meanings to the phrase “Most dangerous place in Dual-Flags City”; first of all, the watchtower on the west gate was the closest to the enemies; second of all, Fei killed the leaders of the seven noble families at this location, and this place was now a taboo among the nobles.

Fei heard about this phrase when talking to Husky last night, and he only laughed and didn’t mind it.

“Of course, I have some gifts for Your Majesty. My division in Soros’ Merchant Group is a part of Dual-Flags City, and I should contribute to the defense of the city,” Abramovich stood up and laughed, “I have already ordered my men to bring the gifts with me, and they are now waiting at the feet of the defense wall. If Your Majesty don’t mind, I can ask them to bring the gifts up here.”

“Great,” Fei raised his hand and signaled the Ophiuchus Saint Seiya to let those men in.

Soon, a series of footsteps sounded.

A few warriors who were wearing uniforms of Soros’ Merchant Group walked into the watchtower. Most of them were One-Star Warriors, and they were using all the strength they got to move the six metal chests.

What surprised Fei was that Emile Husky was one of the people who was helping to move the chests.

Emile saw Fei as well. His eyes shone as he shouted, “Huh? Brother Fei, what are you doing here? Haha! I was wondering how you can scare Knite and those hooligans away, so you are working here? Haha, did you know? Majestic King Alexander just sent someone for me! Could it be that I’m really becoming His Majesty’s guard?”
