Chapter 872: I heard many legends about him.
Gorda, Jike, Xuelu, and Suofa all burst intoughter. Indeed, Westwind City is currently the mostfortable city. However, Godfather is constructing an even better city on the New Continent. Its called Shuangqing City, apletely new city nned from scratch. The foundational development is even better than that of Westwind City. ording to Godfather himself, it will wee immigrants of all races, skin colors, beliefs, and nationalities from around the world to reside there. In the future, that ce might be even greater and more habitable than Westwind City. But well its probably something we wont see in our lifetime.
Chris and the others were filled with longing. However, adventurers as a species, even if they yearn for a ce, it doesnt mean they would want to settle there. Their ambitions span far and wide, and their nature is inclined towards wandering and adventure. They wont halt until an arrow pierces their knee.
After Chris and the others expressed their yearning, they could only smile and say they would have to wait until retirement before going to that ce.
At this point, Chris thought of something else and couldnt help but ask, By the way, Gorda, you three often operate in Westwind City. Have you spoken with this Godfather? Ive heard many legends about him, but I havent met him. What kind of person is he?
Upon hearing this, Gorda and the others wanted to point out Robbs identity, but they noticed Robb had been acting ignorant and evasive all along. They understood he wasnt keen on revealing his status, so they forcibly held back.
Gorda said, Were quite familiar with Godfather!
Xuelu smirked, Absolutely, very familiar. Im his wife.
Snort! Robb beside them spewed out a mouthful of Coca-C.
Chriss entire team was utterly perplexed.
Everyone on the WestWestwind City side froze for a few seconds, only to hear Gorda say irritably, Hey, Xuelu, dont make up rtionships.
Xuelu replied, Whether its made up or not, lets wait and see.
Chris said, Oh, so its a lets wait and see rtionship. Scared me for a moment there. Lets focus on the main point. Is Godfather really as formidable as the legends say? Ive heard that he single-handedly fought a ck dragon, spun around and pped the ck dragons face, and even drew a mustache on the ck dragons face.
Tsk! Robb spewed out another mouthful of C.
Suofa whispered beside them, Thats not true. Dont listen to those bards nonsense. While Godfather is indeed strong, he had quite a struggle dealing with the ck dragon. In his own words, he barely managed to hold on. If the fight had prolonged, he would have been defeated as well. Thats why he couldnt kill the ck dragon that time; he merely forced it to retreat. Currently, Godfather is giving his all, searching everywhere for rare minerals, aiming to create many excellent pieces of equipment in preparation for killing the ck dragon.
Chris said, You seem quite familiar?
Suofa replied, Because I was also there during that battle against the ck dragon.
This sentence immediately made all eight adventurers envious, causing their eyes to turn red. Not only Chriss group, even Xuelu and herpanions had expressions of envy and jealousy.
Suofa continued, Dont look at me with those eyes. I waspletely useless in that battle. I only managed to stab the dragons belly twice with my daggers, but I couldnt even pierce its scales. Godfather said the damage from those two stabs was 2 points. I foolishly asked how much damage I needed to deal to defeat the ck dragon, and Godfather told me it was 99999999 points.
This statement left Chris and the others nearly dumbfounded, What did you just say?
Suofa calmly replied, You heard me right, the ck dragon is that powerful.
Chris and the others:
After a prolonged silence, Chris raised his hand and pointed to his own nose, asking, With my strength, how much damage do you think I could deal to that ck dragon with a shield bash?
Suofa nced at the mithril equipment on Chriss body and said, Your full set of mithril gear is much superior to the equipment I used against the ck dragon. Moreover, your personalbat prowess is strong. Taking both factors into ount, I estimate your shield bash could deal a little over five hundred points of damage to the ck dragon.
Chris:
The nearby fire magician also pointed to his nose, And me?
Suofa responded, Magical damage is generally a bit higher than physical. Being an advanced fire magician, your Fire st should probably hit for over a thousand.
The fire magician plopped down to the ground with a disappointed look, his upper body slumping forward, Are you saying that us novices would never stand a chance against the ck dragon?
Suofa shook her head, Dont think like that. Over a thousand is actually quite impressive. Godfather has mentioned that while the ck dragon is strong, it has a significant weakness in this world theres no limit to the number of people who can engage it. So, as long as each person gives their best andunches the most powerful attacks, collectively we will eventually bring down the ck dragon. Besides, if youre willing to join the fight against the ck dragon, Godfather will surely provide you with top-quality equipment. At that point, youll be able to unleash even greaterbat prowess.
Upon hearing this, Chris became curious, Im already wearing mithril gear, which is the best equipment in the world aside from saronite. Could Godfather provide me with something even better? Is he nning to outfit me with a set of saronite gear to fight the ck dragon? Oh, that would be amazing.
Mithril is nothing special, Suofa said. Godfather mentioned that there are many peculiar and rare ores in this world. We used to only know about mithril as the highest level,pletely unaware of those even more advanced ores. So, no one used to extract these ores to craft equipment. However, Godfather recognizes them. He has taught us to identify Arcanite, Saronite, and Titansteel. Who knows, there might be even more powerful things in the future.
The more Chris and the others listened, the more their admiration for Godfather surged like an endless river. They couldnt help but sigh, If theres a chance in the future, we must meet the old man in person.
Robb could only inwardlyin on the side, [Hey! Im not old at all, okay?]
Alright, the adventurous tales have gone on long enough; its time for sleep, Chris checked his pocket watch again and continued, Rest up, so well have the energy to continue exploring tomorrow. But the underground world is unpredictable and full of risks. We cant all sleep at once; we need to take turns keeping watch. With ten people, well split into four groups, each group keeping watch for two hours during the night.
Dividing ten people into four groups was quite tricky. They needed to consider the strengths and ensure that each group could handle unexpected situations.
Chris nced at Robb, finding it hard to gauge his abilities. He wasnt sure how to assign groups. Robb didnt really look like a powerful priest his face seemed young, and he had a carefree expression, almost clueless aboutmon adventurer knowledge throughout the journey. He was essentially like a beginner.
