Chương 734: 734 Check the ranking again

Inside the forging room, Liam tampered with another lizardman's soul as he contemplated heading over to the Milky Way auction house. The white token was completely charged, and he could go at any instant. This was not the issue.

The issue was… the last time he was there, forging grandmaster Acalan had warned him to stay away from that place. So Liam didn't want to immediately head over there in a rush. He first wanted to make some preparations and, if possible, pump up his level some more.

"Should I go there after the beast siege?"

This event was completely new to him. However, it seemed like an extremely amazing levelling opportunity. Having a huge minion army was both a blessing and a curse, and this was exactly the type of help he needed to feed everyone experience points.

Liam silently chuckled to himself. In the beginning, his fate was bending over backwards in order to screw him, but now it looked as if it was helping him. Well, not that he complained. He would take all the help he received.

This beast siege event would be his next stepping stone!

After Liam finished forging the lizard soul he was handling, he opened his system interface, as a few messages had chimed in while he was busy. He replied to one of them right away because it was from Alex.

However, the moment he pressed send, the red-haired beauty barged into the forging room the next second. It was as if she were waiting right outside his doorstep.

"What is this? Were you just waiting for me outside?" Liam laughed.

Alex blushed furiously, but she quickly recovered her pride, as she had come here to talk about something extremely important.

"Liam! Don't joke around! Do you know what happened?"

"Hmmmm?"

Alex narrated everything that happened.

"I went to meet with the high priestess and guess what? She rewarded me with a whopping 1 million reputation points! I now have the Savior status with the Divine Temple! Can you believe it? Savior reputation!"

"Do you know what this means? I can literally buy out anything I want, do anything I want, and get any information I want in any of the freaking empires! Have you been to one yet? The best trainer in the class hall personally came down to welcome me, and he is tutoring me!"

"I am learning so much right now. Do you know how fast I can cast spells now? It's ridiculous. All my tanking skills have completely transformed." Alex continued ranting non-stop. It was clear that she was extremely excited.

Liam patiently listened to her and waited for her to finish. All of this was good, but what he wanted to know was… what happened to the prisoner inside the fort?

"The prisoner?" Alex shrugged.

"I have no idea about that. They should be dealing with her right about now. But I just heard from a bunch of players that everyone had been chased out of the fort and basically from that zone. Portal, dungeon entrance, everything disappeared."

"Everyone is so confused. Ha Ha Ha! Idiots are trying to break their heads over something that didn't exist in the first place! Ha Ha Ha! Serves them right to gang up on our guild and attack us!"

"This is just too good. I bet they are still wasting their time trying to find out if there are any loopholes and whatnot. Ha Ha Ha! So evil! I love it!"

Alex continued chatting by herself for a couple of minutes but Liam was in deep thought. Would there be some sort of consequence now? After all, this time he had meddled in something way beyond his level. Perhaps a high priestess would show up at his door as well?

In fact, while Alex continued laughing at her own rant, he couldn't help but keep looking at the door. He was half-expecting someone to show up at this exact moment but nothing of that sort happened.

Was he seriously going to get away from this unscathed? Liam sighed and shook his head. He did not have the time to keep thinking about things that could maybe possibly happen. He had to focus on the one thing that he knew for sure was going to happen.

Liam kept the black bead in his hand back into the inventory and took out another black bead. However, unlike the one before, this bead didn't simply have lizardmen's souls. It contained the wyvern souls!

He let out a deep breath and made up his mind. He had already practised enough. There was no point in putting this away any longer. It was time to extract the wyvern souls and attempt to forge them.

Seeing that he was about to do something, Alex quickly stopped talking and observed Liam.

"Ummm… Shall I leave?"

Liam nodded, "Up to you. If you want you can sit with her and watch. Just don't make a noise or any disturbance."

"Her? Her who?" Alex's gaze shifted and she finally noticed the elf in the forging room.

"What the fuck? An elf?"

"She is my disciple," Liam answered with a straight face.

"You have a disciple?" Alex could only barely control her laughter as she heard these ridiculous words. Are the elves in this world so bad to do that they have to become disciples for just Master level experts?

"By the way… do you know someone called Dante? That bastard became the first and only Grandmaster in the game and is trying to intimidate our guild saying that he won't sell us any of his speciality items."

"Hmmm…"

"Normally, I wouldn't care but that bitch has an Exp boost potion which I heard is very good. I will somehow try to get some of that for our guild members. We could use some fast levelling."

"No. Don't bother with it." Liam immediately stopped her. He knew of this potion because it was very famous in his previous life as well but there were severe restrictions on its usage.

A single player could only use the potion thrice at most. So it was not worth wasting time and effort on something like that. Liam explained this to Alex.

"He is just making it sound mysterious by keeping this minus point a secret."

"Ah." Alex nodded. Now she understood. She had almost fallen for this stupid trick.

"How did a bastard like him become a Grandmaster? This is so infuriating." She cursed.

Liam, on the other hand, only lightly chuckled.

"You might want to check the ranking list again. Now that I am here, a few things should have changed."

Sitting at the corner of the room, the elf also smiled in a mysterious way.

Seeing the both of them act in this manner, Alex was confused.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" She opened the system interface and checked the ranking list again and when she did…
