Chapter 1369: Aetheria Empire Part 16
A screech of agony resounded in the military headquarters.
The sound of wailing was evident, but what was more shocking was the after curse.
"FENG, I HATE YOU!"
Inside the interior of the military headquarters main office, General Henry’s eyes widened slightly.
"Feng? Is it about you, Viscount Lin Feng?" General Henry glanced at Xu Feng and inquired.
Out of everyone in the military headquarters, only Xu Feng was called Feng.
And based on this tone of speech, it was definitely not someone in his army.
His soldiers weren’t foolish enough to utter such words aloud or even attempt to be disrespectful to a meritorious noble.
"That should be my Guild Captain’s words." Xu Feng chuckled awkwardly when he sensed the abnormal gazes from General Henry.
"Your Guild Captain curses their Guild Leader often?" General Henry was confused.
If this were in his army, then they would be punished with the military whip. It didn’t matter if it was a joke or something else.
This kind of insubordination was not allowed!
"He’s just ranting because the time schedule has been tight, so I ordered my men to train him harder."
"Hmm, that’s quite the lazy subordinate you have then. With the war ongoing, my soldiers trained for more than 14 hours, and they still want more. But I cannot, as their health must be prioritized too."
Xu Feng nodded his head in understanding.
He would have done the same thing if their guild were preparing for a major war.
But for now, no players were dumb enough to start some crap when the major second update had just dropped. Well, minus the exception of the previous guilds, who tried to be hostile to him.
After that painful lesson, alongside multiple guilds’ disbandment, who would want to provoke them at this juncture?
"Anyway, I’ve managed to discover the Tier 4 Summoner was called Cedric and claimed to be from Hell." Xu Feng cleared his throat and began going to the main topic.
Sure enough, General Henry’s expression also turned solemn as he absorbed the information.
"Someone from Hell? How is that possible?" This information was too shocking. Hell had long been sealed and shut tightly to enter the Divine World.
"Do you have any physical evidence to back it up?" General Henry lowered his voice and asked cautiously.
It wasn’t that he doubted Xu Feng’s words, but the severity of this matter was too big.
If proven true with concrete evidence, then their strategic planning had to be recalculated.
Just the mere thoughts that the Colossuses and people of Hell were working together were giving him a huge headache.
"I don’t have any physical evidence, but they did personally admit to being in hell after I probed them."
"You probed at them and managed to escape unscathed?"
SWOOSH!
Before General Henry could question further, he was suddenly hit with a wave of baptismal aura.
His pupils constricted when he could feel some horror from Xu Feng.
"B-Baptized... you have been baptized from the mysterious Holy Sanctuary?" General Henry stood up in disbelief. His body trembled slightly as he couldn’t imagine that a noble of their empire had actually been baptized in the mysterious and elusive Holy Sanctuary.
Sometime later, General Henry calmed down as he took a seat.
Needless to say, the eyes he used on Xu Feng had changed.
Those who could be baptized meant they were destined for great things. But more importantly, the possibility of them betraying humanity was impossible.
Baptism was a blessing to humanity, but a curse to others who were hostile to humanity.
This was the greatest proof one could offer to show their allegiance to humanity.
"Viscount Lin Feng, can you describe the appearance of the Tier 4 Summoner?" General Henry asked respectfully. There were no longer any doubts or skepticism in his tone.
’As expected, the baptism status saved many breaths.’ Xu Feng never intended to conceal his baptism status. It was just that not many were able to recognize it or even understand the significance it held unless they were informed, like General Henry.
"Unfortunately, I have never directly met the Tier 4 Summoner." Xu Feng regrettably said. He had only communicated with them through his summoned hounds.
From start to finish, the latter remained cautious to never reveal his appearance.
As for the name, Cedric, it was quite common in this world. Rather than trying to find any traces with the name, it was more correct to say it was time-wasting.
However, what they didn’t expect was that Xu Feng had a secret cheat: advanced knowledge.
General Henry sighed softly. He also knew it was asking too much for the appearance of a powerful Summoner.
Who didn’t know that Summoners love to hide behind their summoned creatures and avoid showing their face?
Either way, this information from Xu Feng had greatly assisted them.
"Thanks for your contribution, Viscount Lin Feng. I’ll report this to the Royal Court." General Henry gave his heartfelt thanks.
"It’s my honor to contribute to the Aetheria Empire." Xu Feng stood up and returned the polite gesture.
"Alright, your guild’s merits this time will be recorded. This is my token. With this, you can earn discounts in shops and even access to some rare items."
[System Notification: You have received General Henry’s token! You now enjoy a 30% discount on all territories under the Aetheria Empire! Your nobility status has been combined with the token. Some items are now available to you in the Imperial Aetheria Shop and Imperial Aetheria Auction!]
A system prompt immediately appeared and explained the overall gist to Xu Feng.
’Finally... I can access those higher-level Ragged Scrolls and Profession Promotion items.’ Xu Feng was inwardly excited. But on the surface, he kept a calm and collected expression.
It was about time they got access to higher-level Ragged Scrolls to prepare themselves for the upcoming war.
Despite players reaching Tier 2, they were still considered cannon fodder at best without any utility tools. After all, the enemies were in the same tier, with some even being more powerful within the same tier.
