Chapter 280 The Fourth Ladder "Black Knight"

Darren continued, "Our plan is this: you, the Feiyu people, will 'secretly transport' a forbidden item, pretending to trade with us, the Siat people."

"Then, our transaction was 'accidentally' leaked, which led to the Poseidon Cult's people coming to rob this important forbidden artifact."

Feiyuren seemed to be thinking about something and did not respond.

He paused, then continued with a smile:

"By the way, in order to ensure that the members of the Poseidon Cult are led out, this forbidden artifact must be a treasure with a three-digit number, and your escorts must also have more metamorphosis personnel, oh, metamorphosis-level extraordinary people."

"If it's just a four-digit forbidden item, it won't be attractive enough, and the guards will be too weak or too strong to lure out that damn Sky Blue High Priest."

The Feiyu man thought silently for a long time, staring into Darren's eyes, as if he wanted to know whether the Syat man in front of him could be trusted.

"Let me think..."

Darren knew very well that the Feiyu people were definitely not stupid, and their slowness was mainly due to the language barrier.

People of this race live everywhere in the Nine Seas, including a large part of the eastern part of the White Sea which belongs to the Flying Feather People, and another large part which belongs to the Glacier People who live around the great glacier.

A large "donut"-shaped glacier divides the world of Krad into two. Inside the "donut" is the continent of Oden, while outside are three exotic continents with completely different customs and cultures.

"Okay, trust me, and cooperate."

The Featherman nodded and answered haltingly.

"Hahahahahaha! That's great!"

Darren wanted to hug the other person with a smile on his face, but was quickly avoided, so he had to reach out and shake hands with the Feather Man, and then the two sides exchanged tokens symbolizing their cooperative alliance.

He narrowed his eyes and muttered, "Feiyuren, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

After the flying feather man left the ship, the Fisher family's steamship did not immediately return to the port on the east coast, but headed to a nearby island.

"Next we need to complete the promotion ceremony for the 'Black Knight'."

By now, Darren has completely mastered the third-level sequence power.

He was to complete the ritual of the fourth step of the Path of Shadows.

To be promoted to the "Black Knight", one must create enough killings, and the more powerful the target of the killing, the more rituals can be completed.

That island was the sphere of influence of the Poseidon Cult, and thousands of natives there believed in Poseidon, so it was reasonable for Darren to take their lives.

"Old dog, give me all the blood I need..."

After making some preparations, Darren leisurely put on the iron mask and waited to arrive at the target island.

He was not the only extraordinary person on the Fisher family's steamship. In addition to Darren, there were more than a dozen extraordinary people who accompanied them.

They were extraordinary people recruited from various families on the East Coast. In fact, they did not know that the primary goal of this operation was to help Darren complete the promotion ceremony. They only thought that it was to destroy the vitality of the Poseidon Cult.

Among them, there are three people with equally good fighting capabilities.

One is the "Old Dog" who followed Darren from Rhea, the other is the "Chief of the Dawn" Yager who also needs to complete the promotion ceremony, and the last one is the Emerald Elf March.

Yager calmly came to the deck. Darren saw him and said, "Mayor, your promotion speed is not slow. I'm afraid you can even reach the fifth level."

"Perhaps it's because I have always maintained the 'motivation', which is the most needed thing on the road to conquest." Yager smiled modestly.

Darren shook his head and said, "Ambition is ambition, and ambition is also ambition. The mayor is really hypocritical, hahahahahaha!"

After thinking for a moment, Yager said calmly:

"Moore originally mastered the third-tier sequence power before me, but his promotion ceremony was a bit complicated, so it has not been completed for several years."

Darren knew about the discord between Yager and Moore. In fact, his father and others were basically aware of these things, but they just didn't care.

No matter which side they are on, the Dawnbringers or the Converts, as long as they haven't done anything that crosses the line, there is no need for the direct members of the Fisher family to personally come out and uphold justice.

Darren recalled and said, "I still remember the fourth step of the Road of Order, the promotion ceremony of 'Judge'. It seems that the extraordinary person must fairly judge one hundred extraordinary people who have committed crimes in order to achieve promotion. Both 'one hundred extraordinary people' and 'justice' require a lot of time. After all, many cases are very complicated and it takes a lot of time to investigate them clearly."

He laughed and continued:

"Those who have taken the path of order are really a very unlucky group of people. Fortunately, even if a person is judged incorrectly during the process, all the previous efforts will not be wasted, and the previous efforts can still be counted."

At this moment, Lao Gou brought a letter to Darren. Darren opened it, took a look at it, and then frowned and said:

"Kano has temporarily left the family."

Yager was not particularly surprised, but asked calmly: "Why?"

Darren was silent for a while, then said with a smile:

"That guy refused the marriage with the Fessack family and asked Sang Beier to be his lover. Father and Vanessa were not very happy at first, but they finally agreed to his decision. It might be because...something unexpected happened later."

When Yager heard that the marriage proposal was rejected, he was shocked and said quickly, "Surprising? The rejection of the marriage proposal by the Fussack family will have an impact on Fisher, right?"

Darren was still laughing, and said, "Listen to me, that girl from the Fussack family actually fell in love with Felix at first sight!"

He nodded rather proudly: "I originally thought that my honest son might not be so popular with girls, hahahaha!"

Yager fell silent, finally knowing why the letter was sent here urgently, and then continued to ask: "Then why did Kano still leave the family."

Darren continued to read the contents of the letter, and said as he read, "Because he needs to leave his current environment to complete the promotion ceremony. I haven't really asked what the promotion ceremony of the Unpredictable Warlock is, so I don't know the details, but I can understand it. After all, the requirements of many promotion ceremonies are very strange."

He put down the letter, frowned deeply and said:

"I really don't understand. A woman like Sang Bei'er is just for fun, why would Kano, a smart guy, fall in love with such a woman?"

"No wonder among so many people in the Dawn Cult, he is the only one who can walk the path of enlightenment. This path can only be walked by people with strange thinking patterns."

Yager smiled and expressed a different opinion.

"I can understand a little bit. After all, Miss Sang Bei'er's companionship for twelve years occupied half of Kano's life. She cared about him every day, took good care of him, and followed Kano's every idea..."

"There is no doubt that it would be difficult for Kano to give up on her. Ultimately, it's because he is very kind."

Darren sneered and asked back:

"Mayor Yager, if it were you, would you make the same decision as Kano and go against the family's wishes for such a woman?"

Yager gave a meaningful smile and answered without hesitation:

"Won't!"

"Hahahahahahaha! That's why you can't walk the path of revelation!"

Darren laughed, thinking that he and Yager got along well. When he finished reading the letter, he suddenly said:

"Wait! When Kano left the family, he didn't take even a penny with him, and he also took Sang Bei'er with him. I suddenly understand his thoughts a little bit!"

Yager shook his head, picked up the telescope and looked into the distance, and suddenly reminded:

"We will soon reach our target location and will be able to land in about an hour. Sir Darren, please be prepared."

He added seriously, "When we land next, Sir Darren, please follow my command as well."

Darren smiled, nodded and said, "Well, I will cooperate with your promotion ceremony. Of course, you also have to cooperate with my promotion ceremony. Let's cooperate with each other."

Everyone finally landed on the island, and Yag immediately commanded everyone to start fighting.

The fourth step on the road to conquest is "Commander", who must command a battle to complete a complete victory in order to complete the promotion ceremony.

"The Syats are coming!"

The natives on the island were panic-stricken and very afraid of the Syats.

After Darren and his men landed, they killed their way forward without showing any mercy.

Soon they saw a low-standard barrier rising up on the island, and two extraordinary people from the Poseidon Cult at the qualitative transformation level came with a dozen Origins and hundreds of armed natives.

The two sides soon met in the jungle of the island.

Yager pulled out a strange gun from his arms, consumed his spiritual power to activate the "Eye of Flaw", and instantly locked onto the fatal weaknesses of the three Origin Transcendents.

"Sword Dance" is launched!

"Bang", "bang", "bang"!

He raised his hand and fired continuously. Three extremely accurate bullets killed three origin-level transcendents in an instant.

Darren immediately noticed the unprecedented gun, and many people on the battlefield were also stunned. They had never seen a gun that could shoot continuously and fire bullets continuously.

"What kind of firearm is that?"

In response to Darren's question, Yager quickly replied:

"It was a gift given to me by a priest of the Reforged Church a few days ago... It's called 'Revolver'. I think it will completely replace the flintlock in the future!"

Revolver?

Darren remembered this strange name vividly.

He had a vague feeling that if weapons continued to develop, the extraordinary people at the origin level would become increasingly powerless on the battlefield.

Yager commanded the extraordinary people belonging to the Fisher family and shouted loudly: "Spread out the formation to prevent concentrated damage from the opponent, and be careful not to attack your teammates!"

At this moment, the priest from the Poseidon Cult roared.

"Kill them! Don't be afraid!"

Then, streaks of lightning burst out from his body. Although he was a priest of the Poseidon Cult, his bloodline power was of the lightning element. He instantly rode the lightning and rushed over.

"Okay, okay, come here! Let me make my promotion ceremony perfect..."

Darren sneered.

He activated the sequence power of "Blood Dancer" and raised his hand to shoot out blood arrows!

The blood arrows were flying at an astonishing speed, instantly hitting the priest's body and creating several tiny blood holes.

Just as the lightning was about to hit Darren, an armored undead suddenly appeared. It was very large and waved a huge shield like a round table to block the entire lightning.

He was a powerful undead who had undergone a qualitative transformation to a higher level. He was originally a cultist of the Star Embrace Society and was arrested by the Church of Storms two years ago. The Fisher family made a deal to have him killed by Darren and become one of the undead he could summon through the "Blood Dance".

When he was still on the boat, Darren had already prepared the ritual spell "Blood Dance" in advance to summon the shield-bearing undead just before landing.

"How come?"

The priest of the Poseidon Cult was very surprised. He was obviously a powerful transcendent who had transformed into a higher level, but how could his attack be easily blocked by the opponent?

How is that possible?

Darren's expression gradually turned pale, and he couldn't maintain this level of "dead" for too long.

"You're not taking action yet?"

An arrow carrying wind suddenly shot out from nearby and hit the body in an instant, severely injuring the priest of the Poseidon Cult!

“Ahhhhh, it hurts! Ahhhhh!”

The seriously injured priest who fell to the ground wailed, his expression was extremely distorted and he seemed to be in great pain.

He could feel the seeds sprouting, taking root and growing inside his body, so he had to quickly destroy the plants with lightning!

The priest took out a pocket-shaped object of treasure-level and was about to use it, but suddenly the pocket was shot away by a blood arrow.

"You!"

Darren took the opportunity to shoot blood arrows again. They were very fast and very accurate, but they were not powerful enough. If they failed to hit the vital points, they would not be very effective against the extraordinary people at the qualitative change level.

A new blood arrow hit the neck, and the priest of the Poseidon Cult was injured again, but his body was strong enough and he did not die.

Instead, he was seriously injured and furious, with lightning exploding all over his body, and he rushed towards Darren almost madly.

Darren turned and ran without hesitation, shouting:

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Grandma Elf! Help! We can't win, we can't win!"

Another arrow shot over from a distance. The priest was prepared to dodge it, but suddenly found that his body could not move!

Many plants appeared in the ground at some point, and suddenly they firmly controlled him. The priest's body was instantly pierced by arrows again, and the pain and torture broke out in his body again!

"Good, good, good! Elf Grandma, you are the most beautiful! That's great!"

Darren had a smile on his face and was trembling all over as he held the tall dead man holding the shield. He suddenly rushed over and attacked the enemy, smashing the head of the seriously injured priest with the huge shield!

The little spiritual energy that was left was completely boiling, and his feelings were very clear.

"The ceremony was successful..."

His spiritual power completely exhausted, Darren heaved a sigh of relief and fell to the ground unconscious.
