Chapter 274 - Magic Conference
Chapter 274 Magic Conference
“Get out, get out. Don’t come back again…” A few gamblers shouted at William to get out of the gambling joint.
William was losing money.
And it was too much for the other gamblers to bear.
They thought that William was intentionally doing so to make the gamblers lose their money.
Everyone knew that William had bad luck, and they wanted to place their bet opposite to his.
But William would not place his bets. What could the other gamblers do?
As long as gamblers staked high, William would also place the same bets. No matter how the dealer tried, both William and the high-stakers would lose.
The gamblers thought that William was cheating and viewed him as an employee of the gambling joint…
Even though the joint was making money, it was not good for William to stay. A lot of the gamblers had been put off by William’s bad luck.
The biggest winner was Brandt Peter. As a Grandmaster professional, he was on par with the owner of the gambling joint. So nobody dared to antagonize him.
Old Leather had discovered the extreme bad luck of William!
If both of them colluded, how could any gambling joint sustain their business?
He walked out of the gambling joint smiling and said to William, “I’m a man of my words. I made 330,000 gold coins. I’ll share half the profits. Here are the 150,000 gold coins. Shall we try again at other gambling joints?”
William raised his brows and thought, “Are you sure half of 330,000 gold coins is 150,000 gold coins?”
William was nonchalant. He shook his head and said, “We’ll see. I’m testing my bad luck. I smashed tens of statues of Lady Luck and Lady Bad Luck. I didn’t expect my luck to be rock bottom.”
William appeared to be frowning. He took out a statue of Lady Luck from the space ring and smashed it in front of Old Leather.
Old Leather gaped in astonishment. His eyes almost popped out.

What kind of occupation required extreme bad luck?
Why had the man smashed the statue of Lady Luck?
William did not explain. He wanted to create a good impression for Old Leather. He wanted old Leather to notice him, so he had to work his charms on the NPC slowly.
William did not have the dominant aura that would make a Grandmaster professional yield to him.
To increase Old Leather’s affinity points, besides using his charms, he had to resort to his rock bottom luck…
Old Leather had an endowment.
He was able to detect bad luck on other people. He could make use of other people’s bad luck to increase his chances.
Hence, he only became friends with people who had worse luck than him…
He intended to make use of such ‘friends’ to reap benefits…
All his friends had died, but Old Leather survived.
As for why Old Leather had almost died in William’s previous life!
It was because all his friends were dead at that time, so nobody became his scapegoat.
But just as he was about to die, his student, the chosen one William died for him. It was not known if William’s death helped Old Leather to survive…
Therefore…
For the next few days.
Diablo and his companions followed Bryan to the green light street. They enjoyed themselves until they became weak and pale. Not much of their combat power was left…

Bryan did not look too well recently. The reason being that Diablo and his companions. They had great endurance and appetite, so they looked for a lot of women.
They also ate a lot of delicacies, and Bryan’s treasure vault was getting smaller.
old Leather invited William to the large gambling joints where they made great windfalls. But then, the gambling joints in the old district prohibited them from entering.
At this time, William obtained a piece of information.
The City of Dawn and Red Fire Capital City would be connecting via the teleportation portal that day.
William did not look for Old Leather. Instead, he stood with the officials of the Red Fire Kingdom, waiting by the side of the portal.
All of the teleportation portals had been closed. The professionals who were going elsewhere stayed here. They were pondering which nation was connecting to the Red Fire Kingdom via the teleportation portal.
When the large teleportation portal came to life, a figure appeared from it.
Wearing an expensive magic robe, the space enchanter Old Band walked out of the portal. His aura gradually dissipated, as black space cracks appeared around him. Many observers gasped in astonishment.
“Which nation is that? And they have a space enchanter. The aura is very powerful!”
“Take a look. Even soldiers are coming?” Someone exclaimed. This was the capital. How could soldiers of other nations come here?
Everyone was envious of the equipment of these soldiers.
But more importantly, these professionals were handsome Elves!
William had received ten missions.
He had to complete them perfectly!
Hence, he had ordered the elite Elven legion to undertake the missions.
There were not too many of the Elves.
The ten missions only required 30,000 soldiers.
30,000 disciplined Elves, clad in Gold-quality Intermediate equipment, appeared in Red Fire Capital City. The inhabitants were shocked. It was as though they were the Caucasians observing the pandas in the zoo.
Legolas noticed William and walked towards the Lord. He lowered his head and said, “The 30,000 strong Guardian Legion of the Dawn Army is here to undertake the missions. My respect to Lord William!”
The 30,000 Elves patted their chest to greet William. They shouted loudly, “Our respect to Lord William!”
An Elven man who was standing with the government officials walked out and said, “Greetings. Someone will brief you on your mission. Don’t disappoint me!”
“Yes, my lord. The Guardian Legion of Dawn Army will complete the mission!”
After the exchange, many professionals were befuddled.
So was that the famous Dawn Mercenary Team?
Gosh!
“Are you sure it’s the mercenaries?
“Don’t they have the discipline of a military unit?
“Even Human legions did not have such a high level of discipline…
“They are the Elven legion…”
When the mercenary leaders saw the disciplined Elven legions, they turned back to look at their ragtag and ill-disciplined mercenaries. They felt an immediate sense of heartache.
They were depressed by the stark comparison.
During these times, mercenaries were heading towards the route of military management.
How could the other mercenary teams survive?
The 30,000 strong Elven legion was composed of Intermediate professionals with high-quality equipment. It was stronger than the 100,000 strong Human legion.
Why was the Elven legion so powerful?
Everyone thought that it was too much for the Elven legion to become mercenaries.
Many people were curious about the kind of missions the legion of the Dawn Army was going to undertake.
Spies of different factions started to discreetly use their magic transmission scrolls. They wanted to know what agreement existed between the Red Fire Kingdom and the City of Dawn.
They were also curious to know the actual capability of the Dawn Mercenary Team.
But William was not bothered by the gazes of other factions.
He wanted the City of Dawn to complete missions to increase its reputation and improve the affinity points of main NPCs.
The only thing William had to do was to wait for the end of this game version.
He was anticipating the resurgence of magic and a new era!
He was waiting for the arrival of the fourth era.
William would be participating in the first ‘Magic Conference’!
With the resurgence of magic, the Temple of Light, the Magic Sanctuary, the Palace of Darkness, and the Mercenary Guild would be organizing a tournament!
It would be an important event that William would have to attend.
The first tournament was going to be only limited to NPCs, as the players would go offline for a game upgrade.
But for the second tournament, both players and NPCs could participate. Then the players would be able to see the difference in their capabilities, as they dueled with genius NPCs one-on-one!
