Chapter 217 City of Stars
"Thank you all for your introductions. I'd like to offer you a toast." One of the middle-aged men raised his glass and said to the other three with a smile.

The three of them were very considerate and had a drink with him, which they drank in one gulp.

"No need to thank us. The main reason you were able to come in is that you have the strength and meet the organization's standards. We are just playing a facilitating role. If you don't meet the standards, no matter how much we recommend you, it will be useless." One of the young men shook his head and replied with a chuckle.

"He's right. The three of us are just ordinary members. We don't have that much power. If you don't meet the standards, it will be useless even if we strongly recommend you." Another person also said softly.

"You can't say that."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said with a smile: "Strength is only one factor. There are many people with strength like me in the middle realm, and there are also quite a few who meet the standards of your organization. But without the recommendation of a noble person, how many people can get in?"

The impact of promotion to the intermediate realm exceeded the imagination of some players, so much so that many player organizations fell apart directly.

This also led to the emergence of many lone rangers or small teams of three to five players in the medium realm.

These lone rangers and small teams can survive in the medium realm. After all, they are players and are not inferior to the indigenous forces.

But when you compare the player's power with the indigenous power, you have actually lost.

This is just like comparing yourself with NPCs in a game, it's totally meaningless.

Their opponents have never been the indigenous forces, but other players. The indigenous forces can only be regarded as a "gift package" at best, a gift package to help them grow.

Compared with the indigenous forces, they have indeed developed well. Not only have they not been bullied, but they have also been rising steadily and expanding the territory of their power step by step.

But if compared with other players, it is far behind.

Especially for those lone rangers, sometimes when they want to trade resources, they can’t find any player channels.

Unlike in the primary realm, when the player organization directly disclosed the plane coordinates of the trading city to attract a large number of players, since the number of players in the intermediate realm is too small, the trading city they established was not disclosed on the information channel.

If you want to go there, you need to meet certain strength requirements and be recommended by internal members.

The three of them chuckled, but didn't say anything else this time. They just kept picking up dishes and eating. In the middle realm, without living players, it was very rare to eat such delicious food.

"I'm new here, so I don't quite understand some of the rules. I hope you three brothers will take care of me in the future." The man's face was full of smiles, and with a flick of his fingers, a storage ring appeared in front of each of the three men.

Although the middle-aged man looks much older, for today's players, appearance can no longer determine age.

It's just a change of appearance, it's really too easy for them.

After all, compared to the long lifespan of demigods, they are all in their infancy now. Once they break through to become true gods, the so-called age will probably lose its meaning completely.

"It's easy to talk about."

The three of them each put away a storage ring, their faces suddenly filled with smiles, their eyes became a little arrogant, and they said, "Blood Dawn is not like other player organizations. We don't have so many rules here, and you are just going there to trade. To put it bluntly, you are a customer, so there are even fewer rules."

"In the trading city, you only need to pay attention to two points."

"I'd like to hear the details." The middle-aged man hurriedly asked.

"First and foremost, no matter what transaction you make, you need to pay taxes." One of them took a sip of wine, looked at him, and laughed coldly, "You can doubt other aspects of the Bloody Dawn, but in terms of strength, believe me, even among all the organizations today, we are the top one. No one can escape the sanctions of the Bloody Dawn."

The middle-aged man met his eyes, his heart trembled, and he quickly said: "Please rest assured, I will never violate it."

"Better so."

Another member nodded, and then added: "In addition to paying taxes, all players who enter the trading city are prohibited from taking action, no matter what grudges they have."

"Thank you for reminding."

The middle-aged man thanked him again.

After a while, he looked hesitant and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself several times.

"If you have any other questions, just tell us directly. There's no need to be like this. Since we have introduced you and accepted your things, we will naturally help you if we can. Otherwise, if you get into trouble, we won't be able to escape." The young man, who had been eating hard, raised his head and said bluntly.

In order to prevent mixing of personnel and chaos in the garrison, Bloody Dawn has very strict management of foreign population.

There are only two ways for other players to enter the trading city of Bloody Dawn.

One is that they are recognized by veteran members, but most of those who enter through this method are not normal players.

The number of elders of Bloody Dawn has never changed, neither decreased nor increased, they are just the ten people when the organization was first founded.

These ten players have profound backgrounds and strong strength. Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult even for members of their organization to meet each other.

Therefore, those who can directly contact them are undoubtedly the big guys.

The second method is not simple either, or it is quite troublesome, as it requires the simultaneous introduction of three members of the Crimson Dawn.

Members can profit from it, but if something happens to the people they recommended, they can't escape. They may not be severely punished, but a reduction in benefits is inevitable.

For this reason, they will not recommend outsiders unless someone offers significant benefits or has a very good relationship.

"I heard that your organization has other activities besides trading resources. I wonder if members like us can participate?" the middle-aged man asked somewhat embarrassedly.

"Is this what you wanted to do?" The three of them looked at each other and laughed, but they were not too surprised, as if they had expected it.

The man smiled awkwardly but did not refute. This was indeed his main purpose for going to the Crimson Dawn base.

For a player like him who has a mediocre power foundation and no support from the tools of rules, it is definitely impossible to make his faith power catch up by relying solely on himself.

If we talk about sixth-order extraordinary believers, players can cultivate them as long as they put in some effort.

Then for the believers of the seventh-level extraordinary realm, it really depends on fate.

There were no instruments of rules, no special divine buildings, no wonders... nothing. If they wanted to produce a seventh-order extraordinary strongman, they could only rely on the talents of the believers.

However, without other amplifying effects, relying solely on the favor of gods and natural evolution, the "seventh-level" talent is not so easy to appear.

Taking cultivation talent as an example, the cultivation talent of the people of the Eternal Night Empire is generally around the sixth level, which means that as long as there are enough resources, they can easily cultivate to the sixth level.

As for the ordinary members of Bloody Dawn, the cultivation talents of their believers are generally around level four, which is also the cultivation talent of most of the current players' believers.

However, whether it is the fourth level or the sixth level, they actually belong to a large level, the middle level.

Theoretically, if you can enter the fourth level, you can also enter the sixth level. The only difference is the amount of resources consumed and the length of time it takes.

The meaning of an eighteen-year-old sixth-level person and a forty-year-old sixth-level person is completely different.

The former has the potential to reach the seventh or even eighth level, while the latter is likely to stop there.

So what the man really wanted was not to go to the Bloody Dawn’s base to conduct transactions, but to make use of the various facilities there and better conditions to help himself cultivate a group of high-level extraordinary people.

"Yes, indeed. The bosses above are also very generous. As long as the players can go to the Xueli plane, they can send their believers to the academy there for training. If the results are good enough, they can also use the imperial weapons..."

After a pause, he continued to explain, "But there is no such thing as a free meal. If you want to use the power of the imperial weapons, you have to pay a price, and the price will not be light. If you have this plan, you'd better be mentally prepared, so that you don't get too disappointed when the time comes."

"I know, thanks for the reminder." The man smiled and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

It's good enough to be able to use it, as for the price...

Compared with the value they create, what are these mere resources?

A powerful weapon that is enough to change the course of the entire empire is extremely rare even among the entire player community. Normally, it is extremely difficult to use it, let alone even take a look at it.

Compared to before, there is at least a road now.

"Haha, you look quite honest, but you have big ambitions..."

"Let me tell you about the situation over there, so you don't have to waste time asking around."

"please say."

"…Blood Dawn shares…"

"…The academy in the Xueli plane is controlled by the elder "teacher" all year round. At the last gathering, the teacher's strength had reached that of a powerful demigod…"

"...If we were to say which elder is the most powerful, it would definitely be Boss Yongye. His imperial weapons are also the most suitable and can be used by almost all races..."

"Yong Ye, who ranked second in the regional qualifying round?" the man asked in shock.

"Correct."

The young man who explained it to him nodded and continued:

“Although the heavy weapons from Boss Yongye are useful, forget it. Not only you outsiders, but even within our own organization, there are a lot of members watching us. There is no way there will be any vacancies.

"Of course, if you can come up with symmetrical conditions, you can also go and talk to Boss Yongye yourself. But it is important for people to know themselves. If you come up with completely unequal little things to amuse him... hehe."

As he spoke, the young man sneered, and the warning in his eyes was self-evident.

"Don't dare."

The man quickly shook his head. He believed that he still had some skills and his strength was not inferior to the three people in front of him, but to make fun of the big guy who ranked second in the qualifying competition that year was really thinking that his life was too long.

.........

The Bloody Dawn base, the Bloody Dawn plane.

A huge city built on the native holy land, the City of Stars.

From the distant horizon, the City of Stars looks like a bright pearl inlaid in this ancient land. Its outline is looming in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the tall city walls are like a giant dragon winding and circling.

The city wall is hundreds of meters high, like the backbone of a giant, standing on the land and guarding everything in the city. The wall is covered with sharp spikes and complex runes, which emit a faint light and high-intensity energy flows through them.

The forbidden-fly magic circle covers an area of ​​hundreds of miles. Even powerful creatures at the ninth-level holy realm cannot fly here by relying on their strength.

Terrifying magic cannons were mounted on the city walls, like sleeping beasts, ready to wake up at any time and release destructive power. The barrels of these magic cannons were made of special alloys, and the surface was engraved with runes. These runes emitted a faint blue light under the nourishment of magic power, and contained powerful power.

This is a city that will make any army sigh when they see it. It is like a war fortress. As long as there is an enemy invasion, it will show its fangs in an instant and then blow the enemy into powder in an instant.

In the distance, large caravans passed through the system's teleportation gate and headed towards the City of Stars.

"Is this the City of Stars? It's so grand and magnificent, taller than any city I've ever seen. I guess no army can conquer a city like this!" The young man who followed was shocked when he saw the outer wall of the City of Stars.

"No-fly zone and suppression, two extremely powerful mixed magic arrays, coupled with the defense of this city, even a high-level legion can only watch and sigh in despair!" Under the suppression of the surrounding environment, the legendary strongman's strength can be said to be only one tenth of what it was.

"With such a wide coverage area and the need to support the consumption of the inscriptions on the city walls, where does it get so much energy from?" wondered a magician who arrived for the first time.

"You don't have to worry about this. I heard that the Star City was built on the original holy land of this world. There are several extremely large energy veins buried underneath. There is no problem in supporting the defense system of the Star City." said someone who has been here several times and has some understanding of the layout of this city.

"Oak, don't be discouraged after you enter the academy here. If you have any problems, go to seniors from the same tribe for help. Also, communicate more with the followers of other gods." An old man advised the young man beside him.

"Elder, don't worry, I will take good care of myself." The young man, who looked only sixteen years old and whose strength had reached the fifth level, replied loudly.

"Ugh……"

The old man sighed, looked at the group of young boys in front of him, and said earnestly: "You must remember that you are still young, and the future of the empire belongs to you. As long as you don't give up, the empire will always be your strongest backing. Don't be defeated easily."
