Extra Support
"So... you suspect that's where the legendary Amgilla is located?"
Luo Jun frowned. "There's still something I don't understand. Now that we've discovered the trail, why not just send people to explore it? Why go to all this trouble to ask Yuan Shouzhen to come and help?"
"Decades ago, Old Yuan. Yuan proposed, based on his analysis of Parami artifacts and historical materials, that if the legend of Amgilla is true, then the most likely location is the center of the Hairub Desert. However, for the reasons I mentioned earlier, no one believed his view at the time."
"You didn't believe it back then, but now that you have evidence, you've brought him in as an advisor..." Luo Jun sneered. "As far as I know, you paid a considerable price to bring Yuan Shouzhen here. Why? Is a lost relic from a Mythical Legend worth it?"
Master agreed to do this, and in return, he received at least a legendary-level breakthrough aid artifact, which is currently lying in Luo Jun's Hundred Treasure Box. That is an extremely precious treasure, and this is just a deposit; there should be more rewards after the matter is completed.
Is it really worth all the effort the Holy See has put in to discover a vague and unattainable ancient ruin?
"This... Yuan Shouzhen n't it?" The bishop clearly didn't intend to reveal any information on this matter.
Luo Jun snorted coldly and probed, "Is it because it involves Karruth, a real Deity who may have actually existed?"
The bishop frowned slightly. "You're definitely not an ordinary mercenary..."
"Looks like I guessed right." Luo Jun's lips curled up slightly. Another God Ruins...
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in any so-called Deity. My only goal is to find Yuan Shouzhen." Luo Jun still held onto Sister Salina. "I have the Last One request: provide me with a guide!"
"If it were the Yuan Cultivation Society, they wouldn't need to resort to such methods. As far as I know, their rescue team has already arrived in [Utopia] and is heading here by airship." The bishop glanced at the time. "They should be here soon... Are you going to release them now, or wait for the Yuan Cultivation Society to arrive and join us in dealing with you?"
"I mean this... Mr. 'Night'..."
this...
The Yuan Cultivation Society's rescue team... Luo Jun frowned slightly. If they really arrived, wouldn't it be even more troublesome...? 'Night' has a considerable reputation in Zhendan, and it must have already attracted the attention of the Yuan Cultivation Society. The rescue team they send must be among the best of the best, perhaps even Peak experts. If both the Holy See and the Yuan Cultivation Society want to keep him here, it will be a real problem...
"How would I know your true purpose?" The bishop frowned. "You know too much... and you even went so far as to use an interdimensional teleportation device to get here. I really can't understand it. Besides the Yuan Cultivation Society, who would go to such lengths to save Yuan Shouzhen?"
Bishop Jacob seemed somewhat incredulous as well, stepping forward to answer the phone himself. After confirming several times, he turned to Luo Jun with a strange expression. "Since you're from the Yuan Cultivation Society, you should have said so earlier. It's all a misunderstanding..."
With his exceptional hearing, Luo Jun heard the voice on the other end of the phone. Although he didn't recognize it, it was clearly Zhendan language, and even had a local dialect accent, which didn't seem like a trick of the Holy See.
"You bastard, causing such a ruckus at the Holy See branch, and you even expect us to provide you with a guide!" Holy Knight Hank roared.
When did I become Extra Support for the Yuan Cultivation Society? I only received news of Master's danger this morning and impulsively decided to use the Gate of Myriad Realms to come to [Utopia]. Nobody should have known about it, so how did I become Extra Support?
"Quite a few of you have also disappeared, haven't you?" Luo Jun looked at the bishop. "If I find Yuan Shouzhen, your people can come back too. Why not?"
The two sides were in a standoff when a phone suddenly rang. A priest stepped forward to answer it, looking up at Jacob: "Bishop, it's a call from the airship station. They say reinforcements from the Holy See headquarters have arrived."
"Extra Support?" The bishop was taken aback. "What's that?"
Upon hearing this, not only the people from the Holy See inside the room, but even Luo Jun was stunned.
"So fast?" The bishop's face lit up with delight as he looked at Luo Jun: "The Yuan Cultivation Society members have arrived too. You'd better not resist..."
"Furthermore, Your Lord Bishop," the priest glanced at Luo Jun, then hesitated, "The representative of the Yuan Cultivation Society asked whether their Extra Support have arrived..."
All that's certain at the moment is that the Yuan Cultivation Society knows he's here... as for how they know, it's still unclear... After thinking for a moment, Luo Jun mentally rolled a dice to gain the Holy See's trust, and the result was unusually easy, less than twenty points. Clearly, this phone call had greatly reduced the bishop's hostility towards him.
Luo Jun released Sister Shalinna, deciding to wait for the Yuan Cultivation Society members to arrive and see what was going on.
Of course, to prevent any accidents, he did not wait indoors. The control room was located underground in Parami Cathedral. He went up to the ground floor, onto the street outside the cathedral, and found a place with a wide view and easy escape, where he waited for the arrival of the Yuan Cultivation Society.
Taking advantage of this moment, Luo Jun opened his Attribute Panel.
The last roll of the dice gave him little experience, but it was enough to level him up.
With the experience he gained from regulating his Inner Breath over the past few days, he has already reached level 40 and can now draw new skills. Moreover, due to the usual level cap, he hasn't drawn his current level 39 attributes yet, so he'll take this opportunity to do so as well.
More strength means more security, and it will be easier to deal with any situation that may arise.
First, the skill menu appeared. After a short wait, the message "More Opportunities (Level 2)" popped up.
So the maximum number of dice rolls has been increased...? I didn't know that skills that can be actively upgraded could also be randomly obtained...
Although it's simple, it's still quite useful.
Next are the Attribute Points. The first time, I drew one and four points, and the second time, I drew one and seven points.
His good luck hadn't lasted.
With 41 attribute points obtained and automatically allocated, the current panel looks like this.
Level: 40 (17/4100)
Strength: 225 points
Sensitivity: 193 points
Perception: 191 points
Spirit: 204 points
Luck: Level 7
Skills: All Things are Dice, Intermediate Point Correction, Regret, More Opportunities (Level 2), [Double Insurance], Refresh.
Item: Wealth Ring
Chips: 1750
Number of uses: 7/7
The maximum number of dice that can be used has been increased to level seven. This not only means that the number of times you can use them each day has increased, but it also means that you can take on larger-scale missions.
Based on current information, Amgilla is very likely to involve the Power of Divinity, and its danger level is no less than that of the previous Outstanding Trial Arena. It is highly likely that a mission will be triggered at that time. In this regard, the enhancement of adding one more chance to roll the dice is still a good thing.
After Luo Jun finished organizing the upgrade information, not long after, several carriages arrived and stopped in front of the church. Priests in Holy See uniforms and four Eastern Explorer stepped out.
The Yuan Cultivation Society's reinforcements have arrived!
