Advancement of the Dragon Pact Sorcerer
"I am ready, Your Majesty!"
"For the Embers of the Burned Empire!"
"Give your heart to the Empire!"
The three players immediately placed their right fists over their hearts, performing a standard imperial "Loyalty Salute," seizing the opportunity to express their loyalty to the emperor before them.
After all, this has always been the Empire's "Political Correctness," and there's even a well-known Empire joke on the forums:
When you don't know what to do, just be "loyal" and that's it.
Keosius smiled without saying a word, while the players' hearts pounded with shock from the grand scene they had just witnessed.
Xia Ye Qiuyu bring a myriad of thoughts to my mind.
"This is the Main Storyline!"
"The advancement of Dragon Pact Sorcerer is very likely related to the Main Storyline!"
"According to the analysis on the forum, the main theme of the first version, ' Northern Lands Feng Yun,' is the rise of the empire."
"And according to the information just revealed by the Faction Leader Keosius, could the main theme of the second version be disaster and conflict?"
"Perhaps it's related to the infamous Fadlan Empire in the south, or perhaps it's an invasion by ancient demons."
"In short, Dragon Pact Sorcerer will likely play an important role in this."
"Very good!"
"This advancement mission was definitely worth coming to!"
Xia Ye Qiuyu fill my heart with joy.
Little did they know, this was just Keosius playing the riddle-maker and making empty promises.
Knowing that Xia Ye Qiuyu and Steamed Bun were very close, he deliberately released some "foresightful announcements".
These words, when used as material in Steamed Bun's videos, can attract more players to join the Embers of the Burned Empire faction.
"Since you're all ready."
"Then let's begin the ceremony."
Keosius's calm words interrupted the players' wild thoughts.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Misha nodded solemnly, stepped forward, and flames surged from her golden eyes.
When she became Dragon Pact Sorcerer, the ascension ceremony was still very rudimentary.
Now, thanks to the improvements made by many mages and Sorcerer in the empire, the empire has developed a mature promotion process, but it has not yet been put into practice.
"Praise be to the supreme Embers of the Burned Emperor, the noble and great True Dragon Keosius."
"He is the wrath of the mountains, the embodiment of victory and glory, the protector of commerce and trade, and the sole ruler of the Embers of the Burned Empire."
Flames leaped from the girl's hands, and the Draconic incantation, along with the name of the sect leader she silently chanted, slowly merged into her spell. Golden Vertical Pupils faintly appeared in the void.
As she chanted, the three contracts slowly floated in mid-air.
"The Overlord Contract Ritual that the Magic Department dug up from ancient books actually works."
That's what Keosius thought.
He casually stretched out his hand, slightly raised his eyes, and a phantom image tens of meters high immediately appeared behind him.
That was the manifestation of Keosius's true form. The Red Dragon looked down at the three players with its pale golden vertical pupils and slowly opened its huge mouth.
"Roar--"
The long roar echoed throughout Istaria.
Instantly, the entire city erupted in excitement, with gasps, cheers, and prayers filling every street, square, and building.
"This... this is His Majesty!"
"It's His Your Majesty Keosius's voice!"
"Praise be to the great Red Dragon! Praise be to the Embers of the Burned Emperor!"
"May Your Majesty Keosius bless my husband, who has gone south to cultivate the land, and bring him back alive."
Regardless of race or status, whether they were pedestrians on the street, workers at work, or soldiers on the firing range, they all raised their heads and gazed with fervent eyes at the Istaria Great Altar in the center of the city.
"Is this the emperor's power?"
"My God, the whole city is cheering."
"This advancement quest is way too outrageous. No wonder it's the only magic-based advancement class in the empire."
The three players were also infected by the enthusiastic atmosphere and were very excited. The one Love Dragons Like the Wind was even more obsessed, staring at the Red Dragon phantom and almost drooling.
"Hehehe, Lord Keosius form."
"Tail."
Keosius noticed the player's strange gaze and his lips twitched slightly, but he still continued the ritual.
The black-haired, golden-eyed man slowly rose from his throne, and a dazzling light emanated from the chest of the Red Dragon phantom behind him, illuminating all directions.
Suddenly, it was as if a second sun appeared on the Istaria Great Altar.
"I am Keosius Klauberwu Norikesius."
"In the name of the Embers of the Burned Emperor, I bestow upon you my power, and permit you to become my servants and agents."
Urged on by Misha, the three players knelt down.
After all, for them, this was just going through the storyline in a game, and they didn't have any psychological burden.
Xia Ye Qiuyu knelt on one knee, his eyelids lowered under the immense pressure.
Information refreshed on her panel.
[You have obtained the advanced class path: [Pact Sorcerer - Dragon Overlord]][You will form a contract with a rare group of dragons— the Aberrant Dragon.][These powerful beings despise mortals, are not content with the talents they are born with, and eternally pursue endless ambition. They will grant you the power of dragons.][Note: Once the contract is signed, your allegiance cannot be changed! Your character will be influenced and even controlled by the Lord!][Do you agree to sign the contract? [Yes/No]] "Yes".
Xia Ye Qiuyu make their choice without hesitation.
Isn't it just being a servant?
For this kind of demanding profession, what's wrong with sacrificing some dignity? So many people want to be His Your Majesty Keosius's dog but can't even find the chance! In other words, they can't even get a chance to be a dog!
"Whoosh—"
The magical runes on the contract suddenly lit up.
The powerful force of the Red Dragon descended from the sky, transforming the players' blood vessels into magical Base Blood Vessels.
The heart gradually transforms into a hot, Life Force Dragon Heart.
The three players were enveloped in a fiery aura, exhaling Sulfur Scent white steam as their bodies underwent dramatic changes within the smoke.
In the dark golden vertical pupils of Xia Ye Qiuyu Yu, a faint light flickered, and the traces of scales appeared faintly on his forehead. The dragon horns on his head became longer, and even his fingers became sharper.
Intricate red patterns appeared on her back and neck.
The color of flowing flames smudged at the corners of her eyes.
"This is."
Xia Ye Qiuyu, slowly opened its eyes.
[You gain the following traits: [Dragon Spell] [Dragon Heart]][[Dragon Spell]: Your Red Dragon Lord has expanded your range of learnable spells. You can receive the Lord's blessing and learn ancient Dragon Spell.][[Dragon Heart]: The Lord's power has transformed your heart. You will possess a magical heart and Base Blood Vessels similar to a dragon's. Your constitution and Elemental Affinity have been greatly enhanced.] [Charisma: 15 → 17]
[Constitution: 11→13]
These are valuable attribute points!
As players, if they ignore other methods and only level up their class, they can only allocate two attribute points for every four levels they gain.
"This intensity is way too high."
Xia Ye Qiuyu couldn't help but sigh.
