Raging Fire Greatsword

"Hahaha, the Argel Family is so rich, why would they care about my paltry sums?" Amyrius laughed heartily.

Kronos disagreed, muttering under his breath, "It's not yours anyway, so why are you helping the Royal Family and the army save money? You might as well give me some."

Amyrius continued to laugh, then said, "How about this, I'll give you an Beyonder Item in advance, and then, depending on your contribution to the Ruins, I'll give you some additional rewards if you contribute a lot; if you don't contribute much, this advance will be considered my personal sponsorship."

Upon hearing this, Kronos was delighted. Kronos didn't care about money or materials, but he was thrilled to receive Beyonder Item.

"Do you have any Greatsword? My friend is also at Sequence 7 and is just missing one of these weapons. It would greatly increase his strength once he got it."

Amyrius asked, "You're giving this Beyonder Item to that Gner? I can't really give you anything too high-level, but Sequence 7 item is fine. Aren't you going to keep it for yourself?"

Kronos waved his hand, "I don't need it for now; giving it to Gner would better enhance our overall strength."

Since that was the case, Amyrius stopped talking and remained silent for a few seconds.

After a while, Amyrius raised his head again and said to Kronos, "I have informed Lü Er'an to go find Gner; he will take Gner to select Beyonder Item."

After discussing the rewards, Kronos remembered that he needed to inquire about the location, departure time, and other details about the team members.

Then, from Amyrius, we learn that the Ruins are located in the Jungle of Blue Mountain Island, less than 100 kilometers from the Navy Base, which is why the Navy Base is in charge of them.

The entire Reconnaissance Team consisted of Amyrius's Personal Guards, a total of twenty people, led by Amyrius's Personal Guard Captain, a Sequence 6 "Judge".

The base plans to recruit ten "Cannon Fodder" and the initial plan is to depart in five days. If they can't find enough by then, they'll have to fill the gaps with Death Row Inmate.

When the time comes, dangerous exploration missions will naturally be prioritized for Death Row Inmate, and there won't be any resettlement allowances or anything like that. They'll just be given a promise: if they make a contribution to the Ruins and come out alive, their death sentence will be commuted to Life Imprisonment.

Kronos quickly calculated the time and then said, "Admiral, I have an Beyonder Item Your Excellency I'm currently crafting. It will take four or five days. It's an offensive item, and it's quite high-level. If it's not finished by the time I depart, I wonder if you could wait a little longer?"

Amyrius waved his hand dismissively at the matter, "It's not important, it'll only take a day or two."

The two then engaged in casual conversation, mostly about Backlund.

Amyrius hasn't returned to Backlund for many years, spending most of his time leading his fleet at sea. This year is a little better, as he's been stationed in Bayam, but he can't leave his post without orders.

Although he enjoyed military life, it didn't mean he disliked his family.

I didn't have a chance to ask at the last gathering, but this was a good opportunity, Amyrius asked Backlund about his current state.

The two chatted for about an hour before Lü Er'an led Gner into Amyrius's office. Gner was carrying a Greatsword on his back, which looked to be about 1.5 meters long, entirely red, and gave off a very imposing aura.

Before Kronos could even say goodbye, Amyrius unexpectedly saw him off first, saying, "You've chosen your reward, so go now. Go back and prepare well. If you truly make a good contribution, I'll personally prepare something nice for you."

Since Amyrius had said so, Kronos went along with it and took his leave.

Led by Lü Er'an, Kronos and his companion left the Navy Base.

Because the two of them had chosen to rent Public Carriage when they arrived, the carriage was already parked there when they walked out of the naval Gate.

After getting into the carriage, Kronos finally asked Gner, "What do you think of this weapon?"

With a delighted expression, Gner said, "It's a very good item, called the Raging Fire Greatsword. Secretary Lü Er'an said it was specially crafted by the army's Artisan for soldiers. Soldiers need to fight on the battlefield, so weapons with severe negative effects are not suitable for them."

"This sword has only one effect: during combat, it's covered in flames that are very difficult to extinguish once they touch the target. Although it only has one ability, the negative effect is extremely minor. The longer it's used, the more pronounced the user's male characteristics become, something like an Adam's apple or chest hair."

Kronos nodded. This negative effect was practically nonexistent for Gner, but his abilities were indeed quite limited.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Kronos instructed the coachman to change the destination to Sharf's residence.

"What's wrong?" Gner asked.

Kronos replied, "Before he makes a move, let him change the shape of that War Blade. You already have a sword, what do you need a second one for? Get him a Dagger or something, one with Sacred Flame, that would give you a way to deal with it."

Gner understood and said nothing more.

Upon arriving at Sharf's residence, Kronos did not go in but sent Gner in by himself, instructing Gner to tell Sharf to hurry, as they would need the supplies in a few days.

After that Kronos did not wait for Gner, but instead had the coachman drive away directly, since it was very close to their Inn, less than a fifteen-minute walk away.

Instead of returning to his own Inn, he chose a Inn near the Harbor as his destination.

Kronos went to see Benjamin, and his goal was to get Benjamin at least three to five pounds of Heart of Life powder for him in the next few days.

After all, the power of that Time Ray is quite great. If it could be used without restriction while exploring the Ruins, it would undoubtedly be a significant boost to Kronos's strength.

Unfortunately, Benjamin wasn't at the Inn.

Kronos even inquired with the people at the Inn and concluded that Benjamin always returned around six o'clock each time he went out shopping.

Kronos glanced at his pocket watch; it was almost six o'clock. There was no need to wait until tomorrow; it was just a little while. So he found a place to sit in the Inn lobby.

Sure enough, less than half an hour later, Benjamin hurriedly returned from outside, carrying his briefcase.

"Benjamin!" Kronos waved to Benjamin.

Benjamin, who was focused on the road ahead, then noticed his Boss.

So he quickly ran up to Kronos, "Boss, what brings you here?"

"How's the Heart of Life you were asked to acquire last time?"

Upon hearing this, Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief. "I've already received over twenty pounds and found a Stone Processing Factory. I'll send it directly there after I buy it."

Benjamin took this matter very seriously, which is why he was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Kronos nodded in satisfaction after hearing Benjamin's words, and then said, "Take twenty pounds of powder to my place at any time tomorrow. If I'm not there, just leave it at the front desk."

Although he didn't know what his Boss was up to, Benjamin knew this wasn't something he should be involved in, so he readily nodded. "I'll go back and pick it up tomorrow morning and deliver it to you at noon."

Having achieved his goal, Kronos nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave the Inn.

I've finished everything I needed to do for the day, so it's time to head back to my place.

Upon arriving at the Inn, Kronos dismissed the coachman, as he figured he wouldn't need the carriage again, and the Inn's carriage could be used in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

Kronos didn't bother to check if Gner had returned, since he was likely going out for a drink, something Kronos was already used to, so he went straight back to his room.

As Kronos had predicted, the next three days were extremely boring, with basically nothing to do.

There was no new progress in digesting the Potion, and strolling around had completely lost its effectiveness. However, he didn't dare to use Spell directly; as for new Spell, he hadn't even come up with a single idea.

Kronos was so frustrated that he almost decided to go into business with Benjamin, but he ultimately gave up because of his slight social anxiety.

Actually, things are much better now. A five-year ban would make anyone socially anxious.

However, Gner brought good Message: he had discovered a new gathering of Beyonder, but this gathering was somewhat unusual, as it was hosted by Pirate.

Of course, not everyone at the gathering could be Pirate, but to attend, one needed an introduction from Pirate, which was rather troublesome; Ozil certainly didn't have that qualification.

But there's no rush. Judging by the time, it should be a few days before their Fleet leaves Bayam, so there are still almost ten days left.

Therefore, Kronos ultimately entrusted this important task to Gner, because he believed that Gner was absolutely capable of completing the mission.

Then a barrage of compliments were showered on Gner's head, making Gner roll his eyes in exasperation.

Find a Pirate to befriend, and make sure you're close enough that he recommends you for a party.

The difficulty of this task is hard to estimate.

After all, we are currently at a crucial moment when the authorities want to crack down on Pirate, and every Pirate is very valuable.

People in the Bar were saying that in the past month, Bayam had hardly seen any Pirate with names or titles. Those Pirate on the Wanted List preferred to continue drifting at sea rather than come ashore.

They were all afraid of becoming the chicken the navy Kill the Chicken to Warn the Monkeys.
