Chapter 633: Template

Cross was in his early thirties, tall and slender, with neatly combed dark brown curly hair, delicate features, a straight nose, and thin, light-colored lips.

He wore a long golden robe with dark gold vine patterns embroidered on the hem.

He nodded slightly to Lin Feng, his gaze lingering on Lin Feng for a moment.

"This is Bai Wei."

Bai Wei was twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. She had a slender figure, her black hair was tied back with a gold hairpin, and her features were delicate and serene, with thin eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes.

She wore a simple, moon-white dress, nodded to Lin Feng, and said softly, "Lord Lin."

Lin Feng returned the greetings one by one.

After exchanging pleasantries, Gu Qingchen tilted her head, her tone tinged with surprise.

"A newly promoted baron like Lord Lin, the Viscount shouldn't have issued you a summons yet, right? You're not here today to attend the defense mobilization meeting in three hours, are you?"

Lin Feng nodded: "I haven't received it."

The group exchanged glances, their eyes filled with envy.

Lin Feng understood their meaning and gave a wry smile: "Actually, there's nothing to envy. I just became the Nightmare Lord and then this happened. My luck is really not good."

Viktor hummed in agreement.

Kroos smiled slightly: "In chaotic times, opportunity and danger coexist."

Bai Wei didn't reply, but quietly watched the task list scrolling on the metal plate.

Lin Feng didn't linger on that topic, instead asking, "How much do you all know about the latest situation at the front? Why did the Blood Demon Sect suddenly launch such a large-scale offensive?"

Gu Qingchen shook his head: "The situation is still unclear. According to the available intelligence, we only know that this initial offensive is larger and more frenzied than that of a thousand years ago."

He carefully chose his words, then slowly said, "It's like... wanting to completely conquer the Eternal Night Plane."

After he finished speaking, the hall fell silent for a moment.

"Completely conquered?" Kross frowned slightly. "The Blood Demon Sect has always been a small-scale operation. This sudden display of force suggests there's more to it than meets the eye."

Viktor gripped his warhammer tightly and said in a deep voice, "Bring it on, what's there to be afraid of? We'll just fight it out."

Bai Wei said softly, "The Blood Demon Sect alone is not a threat, but the problem is that we don't know if they have any reinforcements."

According to the latest intelligence, they brought a lot of new weapons this time, the designs of which are completely unlike anything the Blood Demon Sect could produce themselves.

After she finished speaking, the group fell silent for a moment.

Gu Qingchen glanced at Lin Feng and asked, "Lord Lin, did you come here simply to visit the Tongxin Society's headquarters, or is there some business to attend to?"

Lin Feng didn't beat around the bush: "Do any of you four possess dimensional rift stones? Also, I'd like to purchase information about breaking through to the Upper Apostle level."

He paused, then swallowed the rest of his sentence.

I was originally going to ask about the lower-level gods, but then I thought about it and realized that breaking through to the lower-level gods requires a dark gold quality demiplane. If I asked that, it would be tantamount to admitting that my plane quality is most likely dark gold. So I decided against it.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the four people changed slightly at the same time.

A lower-level apostle who has just broken through to level 50, and hasn't even used a dimensional rift stone yet, is already inquiring about the advancement path to a higher-level apostle.

Gu Qingchen suppressed his surprise, carefully considered his words, and tentatively asked, "Lord Lin, if I may ask, your first job advancement was a legendary job, right?"

Lin Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just by inquiring about the information of the higher-ranking apostles, the other party was able to trace the clues back to his first job change.

This is the disadvantage of not having intelligence; as long as you reveal even a little information, the other side can guess much more.

There was no other way but to bite the bullet and continue.

"Yes." He said without changing his expression, "Is there anything strange about that? Everyone here should have a legendary class, right?"

Upon hearing this, the group showed expressions of "I knew it."

Cross nodded slightly, his tone unusually serious: "Lord Lin is indeed a remarkable person."

Gu Qingchen explained, "Although we all have legendary professions, most of them are fourth-tier professions. It's rare to even have a second-tier legendary profession, and a first-tier legendary profession... is extremely rare."

He paused slightly before continuing, "Lord Lin, you have also participated in the Nightmare Lord Trial, so you know how difficult it is to win."

Not only do you have to compete with other races, but you also have to compete with your own. Didn't that fourth-tier legendary professional from your original plane take action against you beforehand?

Lin Feng's face remained expressionless, but his heart was in turmoil.

There must be some information here that he doesn't know, and he absolutely cannot reveal it carelessly, as doing so might expose very important information.

What's the difference between a first-tier legendary class and a fourth-tier legendary class?

The difference should be whether or not there is a hero template, otherwise he really wouldn't know what the difference is.

And why would a legendary fourth-job class target me?

In the final trial, whoever obtains the Nightmare Lord's Token will win. Is this what it refers to?

No, judging from Gu Qingchen's tone, it seems that fourth-tier professionals are legendary, and winning is the norm for them.

What could be the reason that awakened beings of legendary classes who have completed first, second, and third job advancements cannot defeat awakened beings of fourth job advancements?

Given Gu Qingchen's mention of "acting ahead of time," he could only think of one possibility: the legendary fourth-tier job skill book would be the first to drop.

Those who obtain the fourth-tier legendary job skill book will undoubtedly hunt down other legendary job players worldwide in order to eliminate the threat.

Although there are still many explanations that don't make sense, a better answer can't be found in the short term.

"Why would they attack me?" Lin Feng decided to make up an explanation.

"That fourth-tier legendary class awakener was my dad. During the final trial, my dad and I both agreed that I would be stronger than him as the Nightmare Lord."

Upon hearing this explanation, the three men's faces once again showed expressions of admiration.

Cross wagged his finger in admiration: "Your father is truly admirable; the decision you two made was absolutely right."

Bai Wei looked at Lin Feng quietly, nodded slightly, and a hint of respect appeared in her calm almond-shaped eyes.

Gu Qingchen nodded, but his tone became serious: "Also, Lord Lin, don't blame me for asking about your first job advancement."

Rather, the prerequisite for becoming a superior apostle is that one must be an awakened hero.

There are two main conditions for a high-ranking apostle to break through to level 59.

First, the Awakened One is a hero template.

Second, you need to collect four unique items to activate the unique set effect.

However, I've heard there are other methods, but those methods are probably beyond our reach.

Lin Feng asked with some confusion, "Why is the Nightmare Origin acting this way? Our faction has more high-level apostles; shouldn't the stronger we are, the better?"

Gu Qingchen explained, "The power of the Nightmare Origin is also limited. After the Nightmare Origin is separated from the demiplane, everyone except the Nightmare Lord himself will be downgraded to a rare profession."

Retaining the legendary class and hero template, and then upgrading the original weapon to a unique item, requires the power equivalent to supporting a dozen or so demi-planes, so the difficulty will naturally be different.

He glanced at Lin Feng, his tone tinged with emotion: "However, Lord Lin's luck, as well as your father's ability and magnanimity, are truly remarkable."

That legendary job change scroll can be used by any level one Awakened One. There's only one in the entire plane, and once it's used, it's gone.

Lin Feng thought to himself: The explanation of "two legends in one family" is indeed a bit far-fetched. I can only let my dad take the blame.

He spoke, his tone turning colder: "It was indeed good luck. The kid who dropped the legendary job change scroll was someone who valued family ties. With my dad issuing a worldwide warrant for his arrest, who would dare use it? Using it would mean the extermination of their entire family."

After hearing this explanation, everyone seemed to be deep in thought.
