Amber Sword

Chapter 1119: Chapter 274: Princess’s Introduction (Part 3)

Kindness truly doesn’t repay well—

Fortunately, there’s Qian. This red-haired girl from the mountain people somewhat eases Ben’s mind. Although, it’s unclear what this soft girl is thinking, as she’s been absent-minded along the way, occasionally raising her head with a peculiar expression to glance at him, leaving the noble lady who wanted to form a united front quite frustrated.

Ambeser’s marketplace is exceptionally lively. This gray-white port city is renowned for its commerce, and it’s rumored that its streets are paved with jade and gold. Of course, that’s an exaggeration, but the city can indeed captivate anyone at first sight. Ben didn’t immediately want to return, so he strolled the streets with the two beautiful girls.

It’s quite enjoyable for a gentleman to shop with two soft girls, especially since he doesn’t have to carry anything or wait outside the shops. Ben chuckled to himself while opening his profession panel. It now included the new profession, Holy Temple Knight, at Level 15, with three skills: Sunflame Blood, Conflict Aura, and Thorny Crown. There’s not much to study here, as he meticulously organized the details of this profession in the game. Besides, the main purpose was to gain skills; the other useful skills of the Holy Temple Knight can only be learned at Level 30 or above. Ben didn’t intend to raise this profession to such a high level temporarily.

He opened the panel, glanced at it, then began adding skills. First, he upgraded Conflict Aura to Level 10, then raised Sunflame Blood and Thorny Crown to Level 5 each. Since the Holy Temple Knight is an advanced profession, its skills’ basic experience is calculated as mid-level skills, resulting in using nearly 700,000 experience in this transformation altogether.

Luckily, Ben had been continuously extracting experience from the Book of Mavikart’s fragments lately. He had over four million spare experience, about half of which was converted to skill experience. The fragmented light sphere of the Book of Mavikart had already shrunk by approximately a quarter compared to before. According to Ben’s estimation, if he used all this book’s experience just to level up his profession, it could directly raise his mercenary level to Level 50. But mere profession level is meaningless—it’s just enhancing Absolute Strength.

Eagle Djal is the epitome of this; he could also suppress opponents with the power of Golden Upper. To put it plainly, the essence of the Amber Sword is still skills. Speaking of skills, when Ben saw the Wind Queen Nine Luminaries, he felt a bit bitter. Level 7 to Level 8 requires 250,000 experience, converting to skill experience would need 2,500,000. Even if Ben dismantled all the Book of Mavikart’s fragments, it would just about upgrade this skill to Level 10—it’s simply a bottomless pit.

Ben exhaled, finally snapping back to reality, and saw the noble lady Antitina beside him, her face marked by displeasure. For some reason, at that moment Ben suddenly imagined that now would be the perfect time for the noble lady to wear glasses. Ben is a man of action, so he did as he thought. Ambeser is filled with shops selling various rare items, and Ben easily purchased a pair of Hazellian Magic Glasses for her.

It wasn’t a mere whim. Antitina often needs to work at her desk in the Territory, and this pair of Magic Glasses is said to have magic power that protects eyesight, making it suitable for the noble lady. Of course, whether he was caring for his subordinates or indulging in personal humor is something only Ben knows. Although Antitina reluctantly wore them, she had to admit, she looked uniquely charming when she gritted her teeth with the glasses on, like a serious glasses girl.

The three of them strolled until sunset, when the main commercial streets of Ambeser were bathed in a bronze-gold hue, before heading back to the inn with a heap of gifts. Upon returning, it was almost dinner time. However, Ben found that several of his key subordinates had been waiting for him for some time. After asking, they discovered that Su brought back new news from outside.

Secondly, the Power Crystal increases by 10%, accidentally wrote it as 30%, my apologies, covering my face.) (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast recommendation votes and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.)
