Chapter 262: Three Gifts

“Congratulations, Captain Lophis, on making the right decision. It is not too late to join Mount Creation! Sign the contract, and Vermillion Town will become Mount Creation’s subordinate town. You will be treated in the same manner as the other towns.”

Watson pulled a contract from under the table and handed it to Lophis. He smiled as if he had known Lophis would make that decision.

​ 

Lophis took a deep breath and dipped a pen in ink from the side of the table. He wrote his name on the contract. He did not even read the contract’s contents carefully because he felt it was unnecessary.

Initially, he had wanted Vermillion Town to become Mount Creation’s partner instead of a subordinate town. On the one hand, it was due to Adele’s absence. On the other hand, he did not want Vermillion Town to be inferior to the other towns. However, once he had seen Mount Creation’s power, he knew that they had outclassed Vermillion Town several times fold.

If Watson allowed him to transform into an angel and acquire immortality, he was willing to be Blackmoon Town’s slave, let alone their subordinate town.

Watson took the contract that he had signed and had a look at it. He placed it aside after ensuring that there were no problems and nodded. “Very good. You can inform those people outside to return to Vermillion Town. Then, tell the locals that I will be using magic to fuse Vermillion Town with Mount Creation. I hope they won’t freak out.”

“Certainly, Honorable Master Watson.” Lophis’ address changed after signing the deal.

He turned around and exited the room. The guards that went to the mountain with him were also there. They waited patiently for him with a few boxes in their hands. Those boxes contained the 200,000 gold coins that they had brought from their town.

Lophis and Watson had a one-on-one talk. Those guards were asked to wait outside. When they saw Lophis walk out of the room, a few soldiers encircled him and questioned him.

“Captain Lophis, how did the discussion with Mount Creation go? Did they agree to offer us valuable items and herbs?”

“Captain, you might not have noticed it earlier, but the sky became crimson, and an explosion blew up all the clouds. The force of the explosion nearly made me pee my trousers! At that point, a dark cloud appeared in the sky. Thunder roared as lightning flashed, yet the rain fell in one direction and continued to pour. It was as if someone was in charge of it. It was very magical.”

Lophis waved his hand in response to the guards’ statements. “Do not say anything else. The deal was canceled. Let’s return to Vermillion Town.”

Canceled?

The guards mistook Lophis and Watson’s conversation for a failure when they heard that. “Captain Lophis, didn’t Mount Creation promise that they would sell you weapons and items?” they asked, a little irritably. “Why are they going back on their word now? Seriously, if we knew that this was going to happen, we would not have come. We still have 200,000 gold coins with us. Don’t tell me they don’t like that amount of money?”

“It’s not what you think. We didn’t make a deal with them. It’s not because they went back on their word, but because I chose to let Vermillion Town join them. From now on, Vermillion Town is Mount Creation’s subordinate town.”

Lophis explained to them, and his reaction aggravated the guards even more.

Captain Lophis, Mayor Adele asked you to help manage the town before she left. Is this how you manage it?” one of the guards asked him.

Another guard nodded worriedly. “If Mayor Adele knew that you had sold the town while she was away, I wonder how furious she would get. We would also suffer with you.”

Everyone in Vermillion Town knew of Adele’s iron fists. They were very worried about their future.

Watson went out of the room with a stack of contracts as everyone was in a discussion. He glanced at the squabbling guards and then at Lophis, who had a dark expression on his face. He grinned and said, “Captain Lophis, I forgot to tell you. You and your guards here will get three gifts from me after you’ve finally joined Mount Creation!”

As he spoke, Watson snapped his fingers, and numerous sets of platinum-colored armor and long swords plummeted from the sky, landing in front of Lophis and the guards. “The first reward consists of platinum-tier armor and longsword. The second reward is a Phoenix egg for each of you.”

A loud and distinct Phoenix cry resounded from the skies, trailing closely after the armor and weapons. Following that, a few bright rays of light fell from the sky, transforming into round Phoenix Eggs that landed on the armor and burned with a holy white flame. It would shift into the shadow of a Phoenix at times and then condense into an ice crystal flower at others.

“The third reward is a potion that can give you immortality and promote you to platinum-tier.”

Watson curled his hand around the ring. The ground beneath his feet split apart, revealing a gleaming green liquid. Above his head, a black hole opened, and pitch-black blood flew out with some bones.

The green liquid was the Spring of Life, which was considerably more limited than before. The blood and bones were copies extracted from Lilith’s body. It was a little inhumane to utilize Lilith’s blood and bone marrow because they needed to manufacture millions of Blessings of the Gods and Demons. Watson decided to allow people to make their own wishes to reproduce Lilith’s blood and bones.

The items in front of him were the remnants of prior wishes.

“System fusion, activate.”

Watson merged the Spring of Life with the Hell Baro blood in the air to create five gods’ blessings. He pushed them toward Lophis and the others with a wind-elemental spell.

The diamond-tier item, the gods’ blessings, was a sphere that flickered with black and green lights. The two colors alternately flashed, emitting an enticing attraction. Lophis and the others could not stop themselves from reaching out to grab it.

Watson beckoned with his hand before their hands reached the items, and a gust of wind swept the five beads, the Phoenix Eggs, and the platinum-tier armor back into his hand. “I was going to give these to you, but I heard someone say they did not want to join us? Perhaps I can return the contract to you, Captain Lophis? We don’t like to force outsiders to join us.”

“Do not be concerned, Young Master Watson. They were only babbling nonsense. We are not afraid to ascend the mountain.

“Furthermore, I am now the acting mayor of Vermillion Town,” Lophis said hesitantly as he gave Watson a flattering smile. “If I said that Vermillion Town would join Mount Creation, then we will join you. No one has the right to object to it. If anyone dares to oppose, then I will eliminate them.”

Watson placed the platinum-tier armor and weaponry in front of him, as well as the elixir that could turn someone into a platinum-tier elite. Then, he took them back. It felt as if someone had slipped a fistful of gold into Lophis’ pocket and then hastily removed it. How could he stand that?

“It is reassuring to hear that, Captain Lophis.”

Watson shoved the gift in front of Lophis again. Lophis was worried that Watson would break his word again, so he immediately ingested the Blessings of the Gods and Demons. Then, six white wings protruded from his back with a thud. A shining halo appeared above his head, and a platinum-tier aura surrounded him.

“This is fantastic! I’ve made it to the platinum tier, and I am now an angel!”

Lophis had an excited grin on his face when he looked at himself. He thought he had been dreaming when he saw the angels in the sky during their hike up the mountain. However, he had also transformed into an angel. One could say that his dream had come true.

“Can that potion truly transform someone into a platinum-tier elite?”

The guards who had been hesitating could no longer do so after witnessing his captain’s change. They took their rewards, one after another. Some were eager to try the platinum-tier armor, while others licked the Phoenix Egg. Of course, the first thing they did was to ingest Blessings of the Gods and Demons.
