"I'm ready, Your Majesty!"
"For the Ember Empire!"
"Give your heart to the Empire!"
The three players immediately placed their right fists on their hearts and made a standard imperial-style "loyalty ceremony", seizing the opportunity to express their loyalty to His Majesty in front of them.
After all, this has always been the "political correctness" of the Empire, and there is even a well-known Empire joke on the forum:
When you don’t know what to do, just be “loyal” and that’s it.
Cassius smiled and said nothing, and the players' hearts were beating fast under the shock of the grand scene just now.
Xia Ye Qiu Yu has a lot of thoughts in her heart.
"This is the main plot!"
"The advancement of Dragon Pact Warlock is likely to be related to the main plot!"
"According to the analysis on the forum, the main plot of the first version [Northern Storm] is the rise of the empire."
"According to the information just revealed by camp leader Cassius, the main plot of the second version - is it disaster and strife?"
"Maybe it's related to the prestigious Fadlan Empire in the south, or maybe it's the invasion of ancient demons."
"In short, the Dragon Pact Warlock should play an important role in it."
"Great!"
"This advanced mission is indeed the right one!"
Xia Ye Qiu Yu's heart is filled with joy.
As everyone knows, this is just Cassius being the Riddler and drawing a pie.
He knew that Xia Ye Qiuyu and Steamed Bun were very close, so he deliberately released a "forward-looking notice."
These words are used as material in the steamed buns' videos, which can also attract more players to join the Ember Empire camp.
"Now that you are all ready."
"Then let's begin the ceremony."
Cassius's calm words interrupted the players' random thoughts.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Misha nodded solemnly and took a step forward, fire gushing out of her golden eyes.
When she became a dragon pact warlock, the promotion ceremony was still very rudimentary.
Now, after improvements by many mages and warlocks in the empire, the empire has developed a mature promotion process, but it has not been put into practice yet.
"Praise to the supreme Ember Emperor, the noble and great true dragon Cassius."
"He is the fury from the mountains, the embodiment of victory and glory, the protector of commerce and trade, the sole ruler of the Ember Empire."
Flames jumped out of the girl's hands, and the dragon's spell was slowly integrated into her spells as she silently recited the name of the sect master. Golden vertical pupils vaguely emerged in the void.
Along with her chanting, the three contracts slowly floated in mid-air.
"The suzerain contract ritual that the Ministry of Magic dug out from ancient books turned out to be really effective."
Cassius thought so.
He reached out his hand casually, raised his eyes slightly, and a shadow dozens of meters high suddenly appeared behind him.
That was the manifestation of Cassius's true form. The red dragon looked down at the three players with its pale golden vertical pupils and slowly opened its huge mouth.
"Roar——"
A long roar spread throughout Istalia.
Suddenly, the whole city was boiling with wonder, cheers, and prayers filling every street, every square, and every building in the city.
"This is your Majesty!"
"It's the voice of His Majesty Cassius!"
"Praise the great red dragon! Praise Emperor Burning Ember!" "His Majesty Cassius bless me, may my husband who went to the south to reclaim the wasteland come back alive"
Regardless of race or status, whether they were pedestrians on the road, workers at work, or soldiers on the shooting range, they all raised their heads and looked up at the Istalia Altar in the center of the city with fanatical eyes.
"Is this the power of the emperor?"
"Oh my god, the whole city is cheering."
"This advanced mission is too exaggerated. It is indeed the only legal advanced profession in the empire."
The three players were also infected by the warm atmosphere and were very excited. The "Dragon Lover" was even more crazy, looking at the red dragon shadow and almost drooling.
"Hehehehe, Lord Cassius's true form."
"Tail."
Cassius noticed that the player's gaze was not right, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he still continued the ceremony.
The man with black hair and golden eyes slowly stood up from the throne, and the chest of the red dragon shadow behind him bloomed with dazzling light, shining in all directions.
Suddenly, a second sun seemed to appear on the Great Altar of Isdalia.
"I, Cassius Claudius Noricius."
"In the name of Emperor Burning Ember, I grant you my power and allow you to become my servants and agents."
Under Misha's urging, the three players knelt down directly.
After all, for them, this is just a plot in the game, and there is no psychological burden.
Xia Ye Qiuyu knelt on one knee, eyes lowered under the strong pressure.
Information flashed on her panel.
[You obtain the advanced career path: [Contract Warlock-Dragon Sect Master]]
[You will form a contract with a rare group of dragons-the alien dragons. ]
[These powerful beings despise mortal things, are not satisfied with the innate talents of dragons, and eternally pursue endless ambitions, and they will grant you the power of dragons. ]
[Note: Once you sign the contract, your camp cannot be changed! Your character will be influenced and even controlled by the suzerain! ]
[Do you agree to sign the contract [Yes/No]]
"Yes."
Xia Ye Qiu Yu made her choice without hesitation.
Isn't it just to be a servant?
What's wrong with abandoning some dignity for such an intense profession?
How many people want to be His Majesty Cassius's dog but can't find the chance! In other words, being a dog is not even a priority!
"Shua——"
The magic lines on the contract suddenly lit up.
The powerful power of the red dragon descends from the sky, transforming the players' blood vessels into magical basal blood vessels.
The heart is gradually transformed into a hot, vital dragon heart.
The bodies of the three players were flashing with the aura of fire, and white steam with the smell of sulfur was spitting out, and their bodies underwent drastic changes in the smoke.
Xia Ye Qiu Yu's dark golden vertical pupils shimmered with light, faint traces of scales appeared on the forehead, the dragon horns on the top of the head became more slender, and even the fingers became sharper.
Complex red lines appeared on her back and neck.
The corners of his eyes were smudged with the color of flowing flames.
"This is."
Xia Ye Qiu Yu slowly opened his eyes.
[You gain characteristics: [Dragon Spell] [Dragon Heart]]
[[Dragon Spell]: Your Red Dragon Sect Master has expanded the range of spells you can learn. You can accept the Sect Master’s gift and learn dragon spells from ancient times. ]
[[Dragon Heart]: The power of the lord has transformed your heart. You will have a magical heart and basal blood vessels similar to those of a dragon. Your physique and elemental affinity will be greatly improved. ]
【Charm: 15→17】
【Physique: 11→13】
You must know that this is a valuable attribute point!
As a player, if they ignore other paths and only level up professionally, they will only be able to allocate two attribute points for every four levels they gain.
"This intensity is too high"
Xia Ye Qiuyu couldn't help but sigh.
