Chapter 70: A Massive Reward from Commander Klent!

“Welcome, young adventurer.”

Commander Klent patted Lorne on the shoulder with a heavy grip, “Come, young man. Let me see how much trouble you faced before coming to Iron Skull City!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a mission notification panel appeared.

Lorne chose to submit it.

“Young man, your strength has exceeded my expectations. You’ve actually killed more than 400…”

Klent glanced at the number and was about to praise the young adventurer.

But in the next second, his words stopped.

He suddenly looked as if he had seen a ghost.

Then, he counted the numbers one by one.

“Ten! Hundred! Thousand!”

“Heavens! It’s over 4000!!”

After seeing the number, Klent blinked in disbelief and looked at it several times. When he finally confirmed the number in front of him, he was wild with joy, “So you’re the adventurer who completely purified the Dark Forest. I didn’t expect you to be so young. Hahahaha!”

Although the monsters wandering in the Dark Forest were not powerful, to level 10 adventurers who had not advanced their class, it required immense courage and strength to pass through this region.

“Young adventurer, it seems that you are as powerful as you are courageous.”

Klent looked at him very seriously, then said in a low voice, “Young man, you have not failed the Empire’s expectations. The holy light will shine even more because of you, and the branches of the World Tree will flourish even more. Thank you for your contribution to Iron Skull City. Come, this is your reward!”

Ding!

“Congratulations on completing the mission [Proof of Courage]!”

“Since you have killed 4,520 monsters, you have received a reward: +226,000 (+452,000) experience points ,+9,040 reputation points.”

“Since you have purified the entire Dark Forest, Commander Klent will give you an additional reward: [Sage’s Wisdom War Boots] (Silver).”

Several system notifications sounded.

Lorne was rewarded handsomely.

Because Summoners had three times the experience, he gained 678,000 experience points alone!

Without any hesitation, he used it to raise his level.

Ding!

“Congratulations on reaching Level 11. You have received 10 Free Attribute Points!”

“Congratulations on reaching Level 12. You have received 10 Free Attribute Points!”

“…”

“Congratulations on reaching Level 20. You have received 10 Free Attribute Points!”

“Warning! As you are a Summoner, your level has been locked. Please raise your pets to Level 20. The character’s level will be unlocked then.”

A series of notifications appeared.

Although he had leveled up, he only used 48,600 experience points.

This was not even as high as the EXP requirement for his pets to level up once.

“Let’s level up the Small Artillery first.”

Lorne focused on his pets.

As a Summoner, once the pet’s level increased, its combat strength would increase greatly.

Among the pets, Small Artillery was the damage dealer. Only by increasing its level would the team’s farming efficiency be maximized.

Moreover, it was a Silver monster, so the EXP requirement was not as terrifying as Rimuru.

Ding!

“Congratulations on using 57,000 experience points to raise your pet [Fire of Death (Small Artillery)] to Level 11.”

“Congratulations on using 63,000 experience points to raise your pet to Level 12.”

“Congratulations on using 69,000 experience points to raise your pet to Level 13.”

“…”

“Congratulations on using 94,000 experience points to raise your pet to Level 18.”

Eight golden lights fell.

Small Artillery’s level went from 10 to 18 in one go, and its attributes were greatly increased.

[HP: 11,550 / 11,550 (4200 ↑)]

[Attack: 990-1430 (360-520 ↑)]

[Defense: 385 (140 ↑)]

“Wow, the upper limit of its attack is as high as 1430 points!”

Lorne could not help but be shocked by the interface data.

As the master, he only had 756 points at Level 20.

Although Lorne did not add any “Intelligence”, he had Silver-quality equipment. In comparison to the current players, his magic attacks were actually stronger than mainstream players.

But even so, the upper limit of his attack was only half that of his pet!

From this alone, it was obvious how terrifying the strength of Small Artillery was.

This was only the beginning.

In the future, the other pets’ levels would also increase.

At that time, no one in this game would be able to stop him.

Lorne fantasized.

Then, he began to organize the other rewards.

After the experience points, it was 9,040 reputation points.

There was no need to elaborate.

From their experience in Green Rock Town, everyone could tell that reputation points were the reason why players could communicate well with NPCs. It would determine the attitude of an NPC to a large extent.

Therefore, by ensuring that one had high reputation points, in the future, when reaching a place where trust was needed, these points would prove to be useful.

…

Finally, there was a gift.

This was one of the parts of the Sage Set, and it was the boots that Lorne needed the most.

————

[Sage’s Wisdom War Boots] (Sage Set: 1 / 7)

Quality: Silver

Speed: +15

Agility: +20

Type: Cloth Armor

Level Requirement: 10

Additional effect: Increases endurance by 10%.

Additional effect: Increases movement speed by 10%.

Introduction: The Wisdom War Boots enhanced by a Sage can be of great help to the user.

————

This was a pair of great Silver-grade boots.

The equipment increased Lorne’s speed significantly.

In addition, it also increased endurance. It could greatly reduce the duration of an enemy’s control skill. It was a very special attribute.

There was nothing to say, so he quickly changed into it.

The speed immediately increased significantly.

[Speed: 70.9 (18 ↑)]

His speed had already exceeded 70+, about 2-3 times that of ordinary players.

After obtaining this equipment, Lorne officially gathered five items of the Sage Set.

He was still short of the leg guard and the helmet to complete the set.

Although it was only a Level 10 set, its complete set effect was definitely not inferior to that of a normal Gold-grade equipment. Therefore, Lorne did not plan to replace them for the time being.

After doing this, Lorne walked towards the Church of Light.

Soon, he arrived before an extremely holy building.

At the entrance of the holy building, countless players were gathered.
