Chapter 897 -897: Entering
As Li Yao had stated, both the Silver Covenant and Dalaran greatly cherished their reputation.
Until now, virtually no players had unlocked this reputation, largely because they simply did not wish to enlist so-called players for tasks, considering the players too weak.
Having failed in their operation and deceived to boot, the losses were unimaginable, and with competition so fierce, not advancing was to fall behind.
Furthermore, their original intention was to take advantage of the enhanced attributes here to reap benefits, and now they could also undertake quests, so why not?
Therefore, despite their deep-seated hatred for Li Yao, they were neither able nor dared to hold him accountable for the time being.
One could discern Li Yao’s current state and deduce his solid relations with the two high-ranking NPCs; attacking Li Yao would invariably invite their retribution.
“We wish to summon some allies,” Starfire decided instantly. “I wonder if the two of you could temporarily enhance their rankings.” She had already messaged Li Yao privately and was entirely convinced that the two NPCs were genuine.
Given that Li Yao’s sister was by her side, she did not believe Li Yao would deceive her, nor was there any need.
Thus, she decided to summon more guild members to unlock the two reputations.
Moreover, Li Yao had asked them to assist in transporting several Magicians from Starfire, further cementing her decision, clearly showing that Starfire, too, sought to seize this opportunity.
Soon, portals appeared everywhere, and Ronin spared no expense, setting up Arrays that enhanced the newly arrived players in batches.
After being busy for nearly three hours, over five hundred thousand players had gathered, with more guilds joining the ranks.
Vereesa, who had previously had her reservations, remarked upon seeing the situation, “I didn’t expect so many new recruits, it seems they might be of some use after all.”
Li Yao shrugged. “Keep telling yourself that, but calling them ‘of some use’ is an understatement. These new recruits are strong enough to sweep through the Orc camps surrounding the city, and they can tie down a large portion of the enemy forces. Plus, the composition of the new troops is quite comprehensive; you will understand this after the event.”
“Alright, I’ll wait and see how they are annihilated by the Orc army,” Vereesa retorted as she saw Ronin Blink atop a Hell Battle Scorpion and continued, “Shall we depart now?”
“Yes, let’s move out.”
This time, only Li Yao, Ronin, and Vereesa—the three of them—set out, while the other high elves supervised the players from Zhejiang.
Dressed again as cultists, the trio headed straight for Gruimbart.
Li Yao noticed that the guards at the city gate were significantly more numerous. It seemed his previous entrance had made an impact.
“Who are you, and what is your business? This is the territory of the Dragon Throat Clan,” a Guard Captain blocked their way at the city gateway.
Li Yao cackled, “You’d better go and ask your High Priest if he recognizes a ‘Black Necromancer’.”
“What Black Necromancer? Do you think you can just demand to see the High Priest whenever you want? We do not welcome outsiders here; if you don’t want to die, you’d best get lost,” the Guard Captain’s face soured upon hearing the request to meet the High Priest.
Li Yao sneered, “Kid, I saved your High Priest from death’s door yesterday. Ask him if he knows me. And you’d better relay a message—if he wants his flesh to rot off his bones, he can feign not knowing me.”
A few dozen Orc Guards were instantly enraged, incensed at the curse of the High Priest’s flesh rotting away; they all drew their weapons, ready to attack.
The Guard Captain’s expression changed again, though common Orcs couldn’t comprehend, but he understood perfectly.
Just last night, their High Priest led an army to encircle and defeat the Black Dragon Knight and Draconid army. Although they proclaimed victory, the Dragon Throat Clan suffered devastating losses. It was rumored the High Priest nearly perished in the fray, only saved by a powerful stranger.
But in the end, he still played a bit and suffered heavy injuries, his flesh and blood constantly falling off. Even the omnipotent fel energy could only slow down but not expel this kind of power.
This was something he only knew because his father was the Military Governor of the Dragon Throat Clan, something that a common Guard Captain could never know.
“Wait a moment,” the Guard Captain directly took the bone that hung around his neck—which couldn’t cure diseases—and began speaking in the Orcish language.
Soon, the Guard Captain gave Li Yao an Orcish gesture of etiquette, “The High Priest invites you into the city. My apologies for the earlier drunken mishap.”
“Humph, if it weren’t for the fact that I need to discuss important matters with your High Priest, I would have killed you just for what you said earlier.”
With Li Yao’s words, Ronin released a trace of an aura befitting a faction-level powerhouse. The Guard Captain, who was about to react, immediately bowed deeply.
The Guard Captain blew a whistle, and a dozen Black Dragon Knights flew over.
“Esteemed guest, please mount the dragon,” the Guard Captain said, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes. After all, in this world, only they had the audacity to use Giant Dragons as mounts.
Li Yao mounted a Red Dragon, then immediately took flight over the city.
Li Yao thought to himself, how fearless they are, not knowing that their doom is imminent.
However, riding a dragon was also quite novel for Li Yao, even though he knew that these dragons were inferior products catalyzed by fel energy.
Even in his previous life, Li Yao had never managed to obtain a young dragon as a mount.
It was because dragon mounts were incredibly rare, and the conditions for obtaining one were brutally strict.
Li Yao remembered there were two methods to obtain a dragon mount. One method was to reach worship status with the Red Dragon reputation, spending one hundred and fifty thousand Gold Coins to rent a young dragon as a mount for half a year.
The permanent dragon mounts were only available in a super team dungeon, but those only consisted of a Dragon Puppet modeled after an autonomous Black Dragon Princess. It wasn’t a living creature, nor a real Giant Dragon. Of course, the Dragon Puppet and the Black Dragon Princess in Dragon Form were both impressively flashy.
In his previous life, Li Yao had always been hunted, leaving him no opportunity to spend massive amounts of time earning the Red Dragon reputation, let alone the money to rent a Red Dragon mount.
As for the Dragon Puppet, Li Yao had been in a team that acquired one, but it was bought by a tycoon boss; he only got a share of the money, having no chance at the mount.

A solo player wanting to obtain a team dungeon mount could only be the boss; otherwise, it was virtually impossible.
The three of them traveled in silence, speeding through the city.
Li Yao discovered that the Red Dragon actually had special passages; there was no need to detour. They went straight through two loops to reach the inner circle.
Li Yao was speechless. If he had known about this passage, he wouldn’t have had to go through so much trouble. But the city was too big, and finding this passage was too difficult. So Li Yao didn’t dwell on it.
In a huge stone chamber of the inner circle, Li Yao immediately saw Nekros, who was heartily eating meat and drinking at a stone table.
Seeing Li Yao, he instantly stood up, “Hahaha, brother, you truly are extraordinary, to survive under such circumstances. It is no simple feat.”
Li Yao smiled and said, “The High Priest is no less extraordinary. To be able to heal such severe injuries, it seems my trip here was in vain.”
Nekros was taken aback and said, “Brother, if there’s anything you need, just say it. You’ve saved my life, and I will not shirk from any request within my power.”…
