Chapter 538: The Emperor of the Bahar Empire Seeks to Recruit Yecheng
Chapter 538: The Emperor of the Bahar Empire Seeks to Recruit Yecheng
The dagger that Yecheng gave to Clementine was indeed a remarkable weapon, far superior to the so-called Four Darkblades of the Black Knight.
The name of the dagger pair given to Clementine by Yecheng was 'Blood of the Dark Night'.
One of its abilities was called "Dark Night Teleportation," which essentially granted short-distance teleportation.
For Yecheng and Squirrel, who were capable of high-level teleportation and dimensional movement, this level of ability was not particularly impressive.
However, for the natives of this world, teleportation magic was an exceptionally high-level and challenging spell.
Not only warriors but even highly skilled spellcasters were incapable of using such magic.
This short-distance teleportation ability was akin to a divine artifact for assassination-type warrior classes, and a true nightmare for spellcasters.
As for why Clementine felt stronger after killing Ziran's disciple, it was because the 'Blood of the Dark Night' had the ability to absorb the blood of enemies and enhance her attributes.
The boost in attributes was quite substantial, but the primary reason Clementine felt significantly stronger was mainly due to her initially weak abilities.
"My dear brother and the family I once took pride in, are you ready to face my revenge?"
Yecheng believed that sending Clementine and Neil, these two troublemakers, to the Sliana Theocracy would be enough to throw the theocracy into chaos.
However, these were not his concerns at the moment. He was currently on his way to the palace, invited by Gilknifer Lune Farode El, the Emperor of the Bahar Empire.
Yecheng had been shopping with Alshe when the Empire's Four Knights suddenly appeared and asked for his name, stating that the Emperor requested his presence.
It's important to clarify that Yecheng and Alshe's outing was not a date, so please don't misunderstand.
They were together because Alshe wanted to express her gratitude to Yecheng.
After their last exploration of the ruins, Alshe finally remembered who the "friend" was who had given her sister the precious crystal pendant—Yecheng.
Aluhe didn't know why Yecheng had done this or how he knew her before their encounter.
This meeting with Yecheng was not only to thank him but also to inquire about his reasons.
But before the girl could even open her mouth, they were surrounded by a group of imperial soldiers.
Aluhe initially thought something had happened, but the renowned Four Knights of the Empire stated that the Emperor had invited Yecheng to the palace as a guest.
Yecheng wasn't surprised that the Blood Emperor had taken notice of him; in fact, he expected it.
After the successful completion of the last ruins exploration, the fame of the 'Eastern Duo'—Yecheng and Nabeh—had grown even louder in the royal capital of Owenthal.
Everyone was well aware of the capabilities of the Four Schemers, and the smooth success of the ruins exploration was largely due to the Eastern Duo's efforts.
Being in the information business, Herklon and his team naturally spread the word. News of Nabeh's ability to wield Fifth-Rank magic and Yecheng's strength, comparable to a Steelplate-class adventurer, quickly spread throughout the royal capital.
In response to numerous inquiries from fellow adventurers, and with the intention of promoting the name of 'Jing Jie', Herklon didn't hide anything. He shared many stories of Yecheng's heroic deeds at the Song Apple Pavilion.
Emperor Gilknifer Lune Farode El is a highly capable monarch. As a ruler, he possesses exceptional wisdom and conducts himself in a manner befitting a king. Upon his ascension, he purged the corrupt nobility within the empire, significantly bolstering its power.
To these nobles, the emperor is a feared and dreaded "Blood Emperor," but to his subordinates and the common people, he is a ruler with immense charisma.
While internal troubles have been largely resolved through the purge of the nobility, external threats still loom.
Due to his recent ascension and the elimination of numerous useless nobles, the emperor is desperate for capable individuals.
The Empire's 'Four Knights' by his side were all recruited with various enticing offers.
Within the empire, powerful individuals like Yecheng and Nabeh have emerged, and their reputations have reached the emperor's ears. Naturally, he couldn't remain indifferent.
Yecheng and Nabeh, brought before the imperial palace, faced the young emperor with varied expressions. Nabeh maintained her usual stoic demeanor, while Yecheng showed a hint of curiosity.
"Is it no wonder that the East Horizon Duo has been making a name for themselves in the capital recently?
Even in the presence of the king, you remain composed. This is good, as it will save us from unnecessary troubles."
"As you can see, I am Gilknifer Lune Farode El, the emperor of the Bahas Empire.
The reason I invited you here is simple—I wish to inquire if you would consider serving under me. I have heard many rumors about you, and to be frank, your methods are not suitable for the notorious work of adventurers.
If it's money you seek, I can offer you more. If you are willing to serve me, I can provide you with not only wealth but also a position of high esteem."
To be honest, when he saw Yecheng and Nabeh, he was quite surprised.
The two looked incredibly young, seemingly around the same age as the emperor. Yet, despite their youth, they were already formidable warriors comparable to Steel-rank adventurers and a spellcaster capable of wielding Tier 5 magic.
The former aside, Nabeh's accomplishments were already on par with the empire's strongest spellcaster, Flurda Paraday.
Flurda Paraday, the Chief Court Mage of the Bahas Empire, was renowned as the strongest human spellcaster and a Triple Spellcaster, serving as the empire's most formidable guardian against foreign threats.
However, even Flurda, the most powerful mage in the Empire's Magic Department, could only cast Tier 6 magic.
The dark-haired beauty before him, at such a young age, could already cast Tier 5 magic without batting an eye.
"Before we discuss recruitment, I have a question.
Isn't the emperor concerned that we might have unknown origins and potentially pose a threat to the empire?"
In response to Yecheng's question, the emperor smiled confidently, "As a ruler, if one lacks such audacity, how can they claim to seek wise and capable individuals?
Among the Imperial Knights, the Four Knights, there are also many who have stayed because I granted their requests.
If you choose to become my knights and serve me, you are free to leave at any time."
