Chapter 2973: Chapter 2973: The Territory and the Guild Flourishes
The influx of players in Avalon has increased by only 10% because of the dungeons but the actual revenue being generated by having the dungeon is at a rise. The three dungeons actually helped in making money for Avalon as all of the items that the players get is dropped off at the merchant guild.
The low-level players that tend to go out of Avalon also became more engrossed in using the dungeon as they finally found places, they can grind their levels with actually good returns. The fact that a dungeon drops lots of food ingredients is a blessing to newbie players as they can earn a good amount by selling it at the food stalls. Speaking of food stalls, the variety of dishes in Avalon also increased by a lot.
The numerous drops for low quality herbs are also filling the apothecary needs that some have been sold to restaurants as well. The era of food being cooked in herbs has taken hold in Avalon as the food was already healthy but it has become tastier and healthier. Even the demons that only eat because of nutrition suddenly found themselves enjoying food because of the delicious dishes that appeared.
Adrian became so buried in management work that he had to drag the others to help him. The increase in revenue is good for a territory but it also casted a light on the things that needed to be fixed. The entire Pantheon guild officers had to use an entire day just to think, create, and adjust all of the policies that are already set in place. The only ones rejoicing while being burdened by work are Solstice and Elder Ascalor.
[The Territory Satisfaction Index has risen by 1.]
[All residents of Avalon are now healthier and have an incredibly small chance to unlock their hidden talent.]
Adrian might grumble about the work but the notification that come saying that the residents are satisfied or happy makes him keep going. He is pushing forward with this motivation which is why he has never run off. Even if he did run off, his sister will definitely hunt him down using the werewolves under her.
During their time doing all of the tasks for the territory, the Pantheon Guild Officers also managed to catch up with each other. Levin Cloud started by saying that he found clues on where the other seasonal trees are and would like help when he is sure of their location. Kabrakan said that he has succeeded in overcoming the demigod barrier and his body really did transform as well.
"I am not really in a hurry with finding the other seasonal trees because I have yet to consolidate the full power of the winter tree. Still, I expect all of you to be at my beck and call when I do find the others." Levin Cloud stated as he playfully threatened to not heal them in fights if they do not help him.
One would think that a Selvaggian would transform more into their beast form but it is actually not the case. Kabrakan was a lot bigger than all of them but he is now the same height he is in the real world. He is now standing at six feet compared to before when he is bigger. The special aura that Selvaggians have called Ferocity could also be felt from him.
The Ferocity that Adrian that Adrian feels from Kabrakan has sharpened to the point that just attempting to detect it might get you cut. He now has the same presence as the Selvaggian King and his bull horns could be seen to become smoother and shinier. His eyes also changed to a more refined gaze and the best thing that happened to him is his shields are now Semi-Transcendent tier.
"I was looking for a way to upgrade it to Transcendent Tier but it seems a more powerful encounter is needed. Also, the materials needed to upgrade it are all Transcendent Tier which is why I am also having a difficult time while also burning through my money." Kabrakan stated.
Peridot also has some advancements as she is preparing for her ascension as a demigod. It seems that Ryujins have a special ceremony to partake even though she already has all the qualifications. In the end, the sacred ceremony would be held in a month or so once the preparation by her Ryujin parents is done. All of them were also invited to this event as it seems a celebration will also happen.
"The eastern continent is relatively stable at the moment and the Four Cardinal Gods are making sure of that. The grand masters are also consolidating the power of the Immortals to make sure they blend into mortal life more. There has been some pushback but that is only the minority that actually play with mortal lives." Peridot explained.
When Creepysoo was not speaking, all of them looked at him in anticipation as he was seated next to Peridot. One would think that he would definitely blurt out everything he has done but he actually became too focused that he was losing focus. This was strange behavior for Creepysoo which is why they immediately asked him if something was wrong and he snapped out of his state.
"Sorry. I was just too focused in the work and in the news that I received." Creepysoo stated.
"Is it something bad? Or something wrong? Is there something wrong with the Undead Citadel?" Adrian asked.
"Not really wrong in a sense but some of the knights under the Undead King are now going to rest. They really raised me in this game and I had my fun times with them but some of them are now choosing to rest since a number of them have completed their vows. The main knights of the Undead King will still be there as they promised to serve him until they become dust but there will be fewer of the ordinary knights." Creepysoo stated as he treats all of the undead in the Undead Citadel as family.
"I mean why should you get sad when you should be happy that you are sending them off. They should be wanting to reincarnate because their loved ones have been calling for them." Adrian stated.
"Is that the reason why some of the underworld right now is busy? Is it that time of the year again? The time where we wanted to forget to ever happened." Levin Cloud stated as he was thinking at that time of the year where they were extremely busy.
"It seems that the time was actually moved up because the underworld needs more souls to enter the cycle of reincarnation. Before, they were slow in working which is why it usually happens later in the year but they were very efficient this time. They also rejoiced at the fact that they can take it easy at the latter parts of the year when they should have been working." Adrian stated.
"The more I learn about the gods of death... the more that I liken them to actual office workers that are burnout." Levin Cloud added.
"I mean you are not wrong in that aspect. Anyways, the timing of the undead knights going for peace should be at the time of the Soul Jubilee. Am I correct?" Adrian stated.
"That’s right! That is what they called that event! Do you know what its purpose is? I was not really fully present when it happened last year because I was busy with stuff in real life." Creepysoo stated.
"The Soul Jubilee is basically the time when the reincarnation energy is at its peak. During this time, all souls that reincarnate are said to be blessed with a good life if they are eligible for it." Levin Cloud stated.
"It is also the time when the underworld is chaotic and busy. We had to do a lot of things back then that I already forgot what happened. It was so tiring that I actually blanked out most of it but it should be different now that we are the mediators. If you want, you can help as you wish to have those undead have a better next life." Adrian stated.
"I guess I can do that much as the gods of death have been sending me these weird cryptic messages. It seems that they also want me to aid them." Creepysoo stated which made Adrian’s smile go wide as he has acquired a very good helper.
"Speaking of celebrations, I heard that the Elementals are also planning something?" Adrian asked Vayu and Soleil.
"The Elemental Kings want to revive the tradition called the Elemental Symphony since the world tree has stabilized. It is basically a celebration held before the end of summer where all of the Elemental Kings release their excess elemental mana into the world for it to harmonize. It is an event where the elemental mana in the area becomes so stable that an elemental with two or more elements can be born. It can also aid in advancing tiers for elementals." Vayu stated as all of them continued discussing until they finished.
