Keosius's Contract

Xia Ye Qiuyu's panel lit up instantly, and a series of brand-new task information appeared in front of her.

[Completed the Class Advancement Quest – [Trial-Taker of the Karma Fire Tower]][Quest Description: Following the Empire's secret decree, you endured countless hardships and passed numerous trials, finally arriving at the Karma Fire Tower atop Baras Volcano, where you proved your loyalty to the Emperor.][Congratulations! You have passed all the trials. You will become the agent of the Embers of the Burned Emperor, the contractor of the Red Dragon, enjoying supreme honor.][Quest Reward: 3600 XP][Faction Sub-Class Advancement Item: [Keosius's Contract]] "This is the contract bestowed upon me by His Your Majesty Keosius. There are only thirteen in total."

"And you are very fortunate to have received three of them—but this is what you deserve."

"His Your Majesty Keosius once said that anyone who is loyal to him and to the Empire deserves to bask in his glory."

Only thirteen portions! Everyone's breathing became even more rapid.

It's important to know that while the Red Scale Conqueror and Dragonkin Paladin are sub-classes of the Embers of the Burned Empire, their advancement requirements are demanding, but there aren't many quota restrictions.

Among the current player base, there are already hundreds of Red Scale Conqueror and Dragonkin Paladin. They are generally the top forces of various guilds or professional-level solo players.

According to this mysterious NPC...

There are only thirteen Dragon Pact Sorcerer positions! These are absolutely priceless! Scarcity drives up value, and this is no exaggeration. This also means that they can achieve a higher status among players.

Misha waved her hand gently, and scrolls appeared before the three of them.

"Keep this safe; it is your proof of being Dragon Pact Sorcerer."

After saying this, Misha closed her eyes, seemingly engaging in some kind of conscious communication.

The three players focused their attention on the scroll.

The scroll was made of thick animal hide, with intricate and exquisite patterns on it. Each stroke emitted a faint glow of fire, generating powerful magical energy.

Upon closer inspection, the patterns exude a dragon's might, as if a colossal, majestic dragon were gazing upon them from the void before them, its golden pupils transcending time and space.

The Keosius's Contract

Quality: Rare

Type: Special Quest Item

Item Description: "Embers of the Burned Emperor" Keosius is growing stronger and stronger, and his former followers are no longer enough to satisfy his ever-expanding ambition.

So the Red Dragon forged his surplus power into scrolls and searched the empire for exceptionally talented and loyal individuals, hoping to create an agent who could wield power similar to his own.

"A contract? No, this is grace! — Embers of the Burned Emperor, Keosius"

"Compared to this thing, what is a mere Purple Equipment ring? That guy from Royal Authority is really short-sighted."

Looking at the information on the panel, Xia Ye Qiuyu couldn't help but think this.

The other two players also looked delighted.

"Art is Explosion" was a Sorcerer player who was being groomed by the top clan, the [Church of the Machine God], so she naturally realized the heavy weight of this scroll.

While "Love Dragons Like the Wind" has an eccentric personality, he is also a top-tier Sorcerer player and the strongest among the hundreds of eccentric members of the [Dragon Control Club].

However, he was extremely excited at this moment—because he had the opportunity to meet Keosius.

"Touching Lord Keosius's tail" is an act that is considered presumptuous and punishable by death, and it is the lifelong goal of many players in the Dragon Control Club.

"Lord Keosius, hehehehe"

"Tail."

Love Dragons Like the Wind smiled foolishly.

The two people, Xia Ye Qiuyu Art is Explosion, suddenly felt a chill and couldn't help but move a few steps to the side.

"Alright."

Misha opened her eyes and said with a smile, "His Majesty has granted your request. I will accompany you to Istaria to meet His Your Majesty Keosius."

You could tell she was very happy.

In Misha's heart, Keosius was not only her revered patriarch, but also like an elder.

"His Majesty is actually in Istaria?"

The Xia Ye Qiuyu was quite surprising.

After all, Istaria is now the city with the most players and the most prosperous. Even she has spent a lot of money to rent a house in the city and lives there year-round.

But she never got to see the emperor's imposing figure there. Logically speaking, Red Dragon that was over thirty meters long should have been quite conspicuous.

"His Your Majesty Keosius is everywhere in the Empire—whenever he wants to."

Misha said calmly.

She stretched out her slender hand again, her hair suddenly flying backward, and flames swirling around her.

"Boom--"

Accompanied by intense flames, a massive Space Rift appeared before them, like a ferocious dragon's mouth ready to devour them.

[Flame Dimensional Door]

This was originally Keosius's idea.

A special spell that combines energy manipulation and incantation.

Now, as Dragon Pact Sorcerer has signed a pact with Keosius, Misha has naturally obtained this power—and is quite adept at using it.

Suppressing her excitement, she hurriedly straightened her clothes before ordering, "Come with me."

"That's amazing."

The players exclaimed.

The three players who passed the trial followed Misha into the burning Space Rift, traversing thousands of miles of space—to reach the "Immortal City" of Istaria.

After traversing the deep space-time tunnel, a fissure surrounded by flames reappeared before them.

Everyone felt their eyes light up.

"Whoa—"

"What a beautiful place."

"Istaria has places like this?! I thought it was all factories."

The players immediately gasped in amazement.

The view before us is nothing short of miraculous.

The terraced garden is filled with exotic flowers and plants, and clear streams flow down its slopes.

The marble columns are neatly arranged, and the altar not far away is magnificent and spectacular.

This familiar altar and beautiful garden are lifted high into the sky by the raised ground, with the azure sky as the backdrop—like the legendary "Hanging Gardens".

Standing here, you can overlook the entire Istaria City.

A maze of roads, speeding steam trains, pedestrians coming and going, and Imperial Guard patrolling the streets.

Thick black smoke billowed from factories on the city's outskirts, and sporadic explosions could be heard at the distant firing range.

On this towering platform, nearly 100 meters high, one can see the distinctive landmarks such as the Imperial Parliament Hall, the Great Arena, and the Embers Armory, and even the distant city walls.

Looking at this magnificent scene, Xia Ye Qiuyu couldn't help but sigh:

"It's truly spectacular."

"So this is it, the Istaria Great Altar."

Living in this city, she had often looked up at the towering altar, but she never imagined that one day she would be able to climb it herself.

The other two players were also attracted by the spectacular and beautiful scenery. Love Dragons Like the Wind even took a screenshot and posted it on the forum to chat.
