The Death List Novel - Chapter 596
Chapter 596 Apostle Club
Toril World was different from the ordinary Middle Demon World. If he wanted to enter this world of martial power, he would have to participate in an epic quest that would bring him tremendous benefits. Qin Lun knew that he couldn’t do it alone. He had to find a few companions who were both strong and intelligent.
Under the current conditions, the other murderers were obviously the best choice. Hill and the others should have already advanced to Tier 2. Most of their Tier 2 professions were relatively strong. With the support of recovery items, they would be able to surpass Tier 2 to deal with the high-tier experts of the Payment Continent. Together, the three or five of them were barely able to contend against the elementary legendary creatures.
This level of martial power could be considered self-preservation in Toril World, unlike when Kieran entered Toril World for the first time and was almost instantly killed by the high-level stealer of the Santalin Society.
However, if he wanted to drag Hill and the others into Toril World, using a locator or tracker would not work. He could only use World Token. Toril’s world was too vast, locators could not determine the location of space-time, trackers could not determine the location of the target.
These two items can only be used to hunt down enemies and kill Apostle, not as tools to perform team missions. It was like when the Fink team chased Hill and the others into Nars World, it didn’t matter if they were in the same place as the enemy or not. In any case, it was fine as long as they could meet them in the end.
‘”You’re a good schemer. Do you know how rare this type of world token is? Toril World has many epic storylines. It’s the best place for high-level Apostle to acquire high-level skills …”
Hearing this, Kelly rolled her eyes and hesitated for a moment. She took out a small item from her storage space and reluctantly threw it to Qin Lun. “Forget it, I’ll give it to you. In this way, we’ll be clear with the five of you.”
Qin Lun happily caught the item and took a closer look. He discovered that it was not the Obelisk of Uviron, but the mini version of the Anke Fairy Court-Cloud City. The buildings inside were exquisite, and there was a thin layer of white mist surrounding the token. The workmanship could be called a work of art.
Most importantly, he had guessed correctly that this item was a token for a guild to enter the world. It was only limited to the smallest guild of three.
Qin Lun stored this world token in his storage space and casually asked, “How is your high-level team battle this time?”
“Haha, how could it end so quickly!” Kelly was stunned. She said helplessly, “A ten-man high-level group battle is very dangerous. If there is no death grudge, it is usually probed again. Sometimes, it lasts for more than a dozen mission worlds, basically testing the material reserves of large teams.”
“War of attrition? Isn’t it dangerous to lose?” Qin Lun frowned slightly. The Order-keeping Front itself was the weakest of the Three Ambassadors and Disciples Alliance of the Horn of the Devil. It was definitely not as good as the Apostle Tombstone and the Chaos Alliance when fighting a war of attrition.
“We don’t mind a big battle, but the other party won’t!” Kelly shook her head and smiled bitterly. “Their goal is to recruit new players for their respective alliances and teams, not to wipe out their losses. Whether the order-keeping front can last or not, they don’t really care.”
“Then what are your next plans?” Hearing Kelly’s words, Qin Lun couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. The joy of winning the last mission world instantly disappeared.
Although they had won against Chaos Alliance once and temporarily dispelled the doubts of Apostle, if the continuous upheavals on the order-keeping front continued for a long time, most people would waver again.
“The mission world can’t be solved, so of course we can only solve it in the starry sky!” Kelly said calmly, “Did you know that the Moon Night Elves launched an attack on another floating continent some time ago?”
“Yes, I know! A foreign affairs elder from the Elves clan hinted to me on Moonlight Night. Unfortunately, I can’t help him because I can’t take care of myself.” Qin Lun replied calmly.
“Haha, the intelligent races in the starry sky have their own principles towards Apostle, and we, Apostle, especially large teams, will try our best not to interfere in racial wars or continental wars.” Kelly sighed. “It’s just that the situation on the order-keeping front is very dangerous. We can’t withstand the erosion of the other two alliances in Devil’s horn. The upper echelons of several large and medium-sized guilds have decided to intervene in the continental war launched by Elves on Moonlight.”
“You want to rely on the spoils of war obtained from the continental war to maintain your war of attrition against the two great alliances!” Qin Lun was stunned. With a thought, he understood, “This is a violation of the rules. Losing is easy to be surrounded by both inside and outside. You must think about it clearly.”
Racial and continental wars were large-scale wars, and there were always a small number of Apostle who accepted employment for their own benefit. However, these Apostle were small in number and low in rank, and would not affect the balance of power between the two warring parties.
However, with the direct participation of large teams, it would be different. In serious cases, it could lead to more than two cities in Apostle joining the war. This was not a matter of losing a family. The other two major alliances in Devil’s horn definitely did not want to be dragged down by the loss. Perhaps they would join forces with each other’s Apostle camp to attack the loss. The situation would only get worse.
“We’re just making a gesture. If they don’t want to be dragged into the quagmire of the continental war, they have to fight us as soon as possible.” Kelly smiled. “Of course, I think the upper echelons of both sides will compromise in the end. The most likely outcome will be a large-scale battle.”
“A large-scale battle in the continental war? Doesn’t that make things more complicated?” Qin Lun frowned and fell into deep thought. He keenly sensed that something was amiss.
Kelly smiled and didn’t say anything. She tasted the wine and made Qin Lun think for himself. After a while, Qin Lun’s eyes finally flashed with a hint of understanding. He bitterly smiled and said, “You fellows who claim to be in the order camp are not good people either. Is this simply passing the majority of the Apostle team’s losses onto the intelligent races in the starry sky?”
“En!” Kelly nodded softly with a bitter smile on her face. “Turn the high-tier Apostle team battles into large-scale battles to assist the intelligent races. That way, we and the two alliances can use the results of the battles to avoid the life and death battles of the Apostle team. At the very least, the casualties of the high-tier members will be much smaller, and the material losses will be borne by the intelligent races.”
The two of them were speechless, but the intelligent races on both sides of the war probably wouldn’t have any objections. The Apostle used them, but the continental war was not started by Apostle. Moreover, this kind of large-scale war would not end until one side bled out blood. With the involvement of large teams, the war might be shorter and the losses smaller.
“Alright, then I wish you all good luck!” Qin Lun shrugged his shoulders, raised his head to drink a glass of wine, stood up, and was about to leave.
“Wait!” Kelly suddenly remembered something and stopped Qin Lun. “Last time, I asked you to save more broken crystals. Are you ready?”
“Why? There’s no way I can borrow money. I’m planning to buy a few pieces of equipment and skills that can be used together during this period of time!” Qin Lun looked vigilantly at Kelly with a Grandy expression. This woman’s nerves were thick and her martial power was high. There was no need to pretend to be arrogant with her. Truth be told, it was the right path.
“Tsk, I’m not greedy for that little bit of money. I’m just giving you some pointers on how to spend money. Forget it if you don’t want to know!” Kelly raised her middle finger at Qin Lun with contempt.
“Haha, what kind of channels?” Qin Lun smiled and sat down again.
Kelly rolled her eyes at him and rubbed her fingers. “Where’s the information fee?”
“Oh” Qin Lun’s expression did not change as he tactfully traded over ten thousand broken crystals.
“Not enough!” Kelly snorted coldly and turned her face away.
“Oh” Qin Lun helplessly traded another ten thousand broken crystals.
“Continue!” Kelly said teasingly with a smile in her eyes.
“… Alright, I was wrong!” Qin Lun smiled bitterly and traded again. With his friendship with Kelly, the information fee of tens of thousands of broken crystals was nothing. Kelly was punishing him for being a stingy person.
“I forgive you!” Kelly nodded in satisfaction and finally said seriously, “Come to the headquarters in three days. I’ll take you to a place.”
“Oh, can you reveal some information first?” Seeing Kelly’s mysterious appearance, Qin Lun couldn’t help but be curious.
“Sure, but you have to keep it a secret! This is a high-end club run by Apostle, located in a certain small plane.” Kelly whispered, “Most of the members of the club are high-level experts and above. There are also a few Second Grade Apostle that are as outstanding as you. This club mainly releases some private cooperation projects, as well as small auctions between members.”
“The Apostle Club?” Qin Lun asked doubtfully, “The apostle city has a perfect entertainment district, a mercenary hiring house, a team to work with, and a city auction house and a half-plane trading house. Why do you need a club like this?”
“It’s different. The existence of such a club is necessary.” Kelly said seriously, “It’s like Devil’s horn still needs a half-plane trading floor with a metropolitan auction house. The metropolitan auction house helps all preparatory Apostle, targeting low-end customers, while the half-plane trading floor’s customers are professional Apostle.”
Most of the equipment in the city auction houses was blue, with a small amount of dark gold equipment, but it was not suitable for use. Bloodline items and Apostle skill scrolls rarely appeared. On the other hand, the commodities on the half-plane trading floor were mainly dark gold equipment, and a large number of bloodline items and skill scrolls began to appear. “Of course, Legendary equipment, high-tier skills, and high-tier bloodline items are still rare …”
“Mm, no wonder I rarely see a Tier 7 or above Magic Scroll on the half-plane trading floor. High-tier bloodline items are even rarer.” Qin Lun nodded thoughtfully, “So the Apostle Club is a trading place on the half-plane trading floor?”
“No, this small club isn’t just about trading. It’s also a place to communicate and work with high-level members from different cities in Apostle. The high-level team that’s working with Lost right now is the one we met in a club.” Kelly explained with a smile.
“This is also the law of the market. Most of the high-tier Apostle in a Apostle metropolis are less than three digits. Their demand for equipment and skills is no longer something that a single Apostle metropolis can satisfy. That is why such an intercity high-end club was born.”
