Chapter 138 David's Ranking
Wizard camp.
The moment Benjamin and his five companions stepped into the camp gate, a familiar yet long-lost sense of ease instantly enveloped them.
There is no interference from the power of faith here, no noise from the secular world, only pure witchcraft energy and the breath of the same kind.
The tension of the past few days was swept away, replaced by the satisfaction of completing the task and anticipation for the next step.
"Welcome back!" Several low-level wizards in charge of receiving the guests stepped forward with a hint of envy and admiration in their eyes.
Obviously, the camp already knew what had happened.
Soon, the new contribution list was updated and distributed.
This time, instead of engraving the information into everyone's minds as before, a huge stone tablet was erected in the camp.
A huge rune stele was suspended in the center of the camp square, engraved with rows of names and numbers that shone with golden light.
The names of Benjamin, Seraphina, Kellen, Anya and Rex were prominently listed at the top of the list. Among them, Benjamin, with his key role and outstanding performance in this operation, was pushed back to the top of the list and occupied the eye-catching first place!
"Ha! As expected!" Kelleren couldn't help but chuckle when he saw his name ranked fourth.
A rare smile appeared on Seraphina's face. "Not bad, higher than expected."
Faced with this result, Benjamin felt calm.
Although there were many minor accidents in the process, they basically met his expectations.
But now, Benjamin is no longer concerned about these things. He is more concerned about whether he can find a way to use these contributions to exchange for a god.
After all, his research on the divine power belief network has only just begun.
Compared with the empty reputation on the contribution list, the unknown knowledge attracted Benjamin more.
However, when their eyes swept over the next person on the list, they were all stunned.
"Wait... the second-ranked one..." Anya looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar name on the list, her voice filled with disbelief, "David? How could he be ranked second?!"
Jieming and others couldn't help but look at the name - David.
This level ten genius was as dazzling as a comet when he first appeared, but he pretended to be dead and disappeared in the "David Annihilation War" a few months ago.
They had discussed him in the sewers before, but had no solid clues.
Unexpectedly, he appeared in their sight again in this way.
"What did he do?" Anya couldn't help but ask, her tone full of curiosity.
Kelleren scratched his head, bewildered. "The last time I saw him was in the Orc Kingdom. I don't know what happened after that."
Rex also rubbed his eyes, a puzzled glint in his eyes: "His whereabouts in the Elosia plane have always been a mystery. He has never asked for help or contacted us. How did he get this contribution...?"
As David's schoolmate, Seraphina knows her classmate better.
But even she couldn't help but purse her lips after seeing the result.
The five of them looked at each other and could only shake their heads helplessly.
"But there's no rush." Seraphina looked at everyone. "When the rewards are finally arranged, everyone's mission reports and contribution details will be made public. We'll know then."
Benjamin looked at the name right below him on the list and couldn't help but touch his chin: "Interesting..."
…
…
Elosia City
The royal capital of Elosia was in chaos.
The once bustling streets were deserted, with only the bodies of patrolling guards lying scattered on the ground.
In the distance, although the distorted light in the cathedral area had dissipated, terrified screams and curses continued to be heard from the direction of the palace.
At the entrance of a sparsely populated alley, the rural warrior known as "Lucky Man" - Kaiden, was standing there in a daze.
He looked up at the sky, where the rift in the plane had healed and the tranquility of the past had returned.
But in his eyes, the frame-skipping scene just now was reflected - the scene where the high-level wizards captured all the gods in an instant with overwhelming force.
The magic weapon in his hand also sent a message at this moment notifying him that the assessment had ended early.
"Is it over?" Kaiden muttered to himself, his face blank.
It was obvious that he had been systematically stirring up the fighting spirit of the civilians in the royal city these past few days, giving speeches at the top of his lungs in taverns and squares, inciting the people's hatred against wizards to ensure that they could gather a large army and fight the wizards to the death.
He had even just felt that the fanatical faith and fighting spirit of the common people in the royal capital were gathering together according to his plan!
Who would have thought that just when we were seeing some results, the assessment would end early in the blink of an eye?!
Even the gods were captured?
He was still confused when a panicked team of royal guards rushed towards him from the other end.
There was fear of the unknown and chaos in their eyes. When they saw Kaiden, a "civilian", standing on the street, a trace of hostility flashed in the eyes of one of the team leaders.
He had disliked this guy for a long time, and the city happened to be in chaos, so he planned to take this opportunity to take revenge and vent his panic.
"Kaden, you..." The team leader roared, pointing the sword in his hand at Kaiden.
Unfortunately, he didn't finish what he was saying.
Click!
A dazzling bolt of lightning fell from the sky!
The entire team, including the team leader, was reduced to ashes in an instant, without even a trace left.
After doing all this, Kaiden's body began to blur.
His disguise flowed off like water, revealing his true appearance - a stubborn yet stunningly beautiful woman.
It was Bert Vera Augusta!
She glanced coldly at the place that had turned to ashes, then turned and left the royal capital, blending into the depths of the night without stopping.
…
…
In the Eloxia plane, in the magnificent hall where the leaders of many races once met together.
This was once the hall of supreme power and wisdom in the Eloshia plane, but now it has become a mess.
The dome, which was intricately carved with patterns, collapsed in half, revealing the dark night sky.
The once sparkling marble floor was now covered in blood and scorch marks. The corpses of humans, elves, orcs, dwarves, and demon eyes... all different races were scattered around in twisted postures.
Among them, the human king Ottorek III and several important nobles and ministers under him all died in their seats with extreme surprise before their death.
Their expressions were stiff and shocked, as if they couldn't believe that they would die in this way, in the place they were most familiar with and trusted the most.
The surprise on his face was more than fear.
And in this bloody mess, there were only two people, standing quietly in the middle of the hall.
One of them is a sage who looks very young but is actually hundreds of years old.
His skinny body was now slightly hunched, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes. He sat in his original seat with a slightly dazed look, looking at the scene in front of him.
The other one is the sage's disciple - Leis.
He was wearing a simple robe and had a thin face. He stood in the middle of the hall and looked around at the tragic scene.
"How decisive, Master Sage." Reis's voice echoed in the empty hall, carrying with it a hint of indescribable emotion. "I originally thought you would only eliminate the upper echelons of humanity, but I didn't expect you to eliminate the upper echelons of all races at once. Even the mentor would be impressed by this feat."
As he spoke, Reiss's figure began to change.
The muscles on his thin face twitched, and the outline gradually changed, becoming harder and more angular.
His thin body became more muscular, exuding a powerful sense of oppression.
The long black hair was gradually replaced by short golden hair, and a rebellious temperament was revealed between his eyebrows.
Soon, his true identity was revealed—it was the level ten genius of Nolen Academy No. 1: David!
The sage did not answer him, but just sat in the chair in a daze, looking at the mess in front of him with empty eyes.
It was not until a long time later that he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "I hope you can keep your promise."
"Don't worry, sage." David walked towards the sage with a confident smile on his face.
"Haven't we already signed a contract? My mentor is the most skilled alchemist at human transformation. Creating human transformation potions is not difficult for him at all. After a few generations of cultivation, the humans of this world will gradually transform into humans of our world. Then, they can become citizens of wizard civilization."
Use human body transformation potions to transform and cultivate humanoid creatures from other dimensions, converting them into body structures identical to those of humans in the wizarding civilization.
This kind of thing is often used in the early stages of wizard civilization when it has just left its native plane and is expanding on a large scale.
The main purpose is to quickly replenish manpower to meet the growing demand for labor and troops.
However, with the increasing number of reserve personnel in wizard civilization and the emergence of more efficient cloning and cultivation technologies, today's wizard civilization rarely uses this operation.
But occasionally, some emerging forces or wizards with special purposes would use this ancient and efficient method to quickly increase the population or experimental subjects when expanding their territory or conducting experiments.
"And I don't want to break my promise just because of a small matter." David added, his eyes sweeping over the mortal leaders in the hall who died with their eyes open.
The method David thought of to gain contribution points was actually very simple, which was to break through their defenses from within the Elosia plane and achieve the so-called "decapitation".
Ever since he was besieged and faked his own death to escape, David has had his eye on the sage who proved extremely powerful during the siege.
After careful observation, he secretly approached the other party and demonstrated the powerful strength of the wizard civilization.
He also promised that if the other party was willing to help him complete the "beheading", he could use his contribution to mark out an area afterwards to help the species in this world integrate into the wizard civilization, which could be regarded as leaving "seeds" and "continuation" for this world.
The final result was naturally that the sage agreed with his idea.
