Chapter 663 The Ice Sea World (25, Today's Total 10K)
Above the clouds.

The Star-Circling High-Speed ​​Railway travels from daytime into nighttime, stopping once during which dozens of players disembark and travel to their destinations via different spatial passages.

The Templar lingered in the VIP box, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, gazing out the window with a hint of envy on his face.

"A single ride costs 1000 game coins. Over the years, the fare will definitely become a huge fortune. It is said that the size of the Realm Defense Council has grown from a superficial organization to one that can rival the major factions."

Jiang He sipped his drink without answering. The council's main supporters came from various small and medium-sized factions. It was an alliance and platform for these factions to have equal dialogue with the large factions. At the same time, the concept of uniting the forces of the present realm for joint defense naturally attracted some new generation players, so there was no shortage of fresh blood.

As the first-tier players advance to the Heroic Age, facing the old order of the legendary elders, it's quite normal for this vibrant group to lean towards the council in order to gain a voice.

The Templar took a bottle of strong liquor from his backpack, inside which ice cubes with shimmering lights floated. As soon as it left the backpack, it released a strong blast of cold air.

"Snow Wine, a special supply for the Holy Temple, let's take it as a farewell gift. This trip will allow us to meet the King of the Era, and when we go to the Void, we'll have more to talk about after drinking it."

The Templar laughed heartily. He wouldn't have much interaction with the other party. Just like the elven girl from before, some things might be insignificant to the King of Ages, but for others, they could be catastrophic.

A bronze-level being might not even deserve a second glance from a legendary giant in their entire life.

"See you."

Jiang He offered to see them off, out of consideration for the drinks, and by the time they left, the Huanxing High-Speed ​​Railway had completely fallen into darkness.

Inside the private room, Zhuang Ya sat upright in her chair, but she had actually been asleep for quite a while. Jiang He posted a notice on the list: Repairing legendary and lower-level items costs two medium-sized soul crystals each time, payment is due upon completion. The price for treating ordinary legendary and lower-level patients is the same.

The patient arrived as soon as the announcement was issued.

"If I'm not mistaken, you just used the power of time."

Liu Wusheng dragged his nearly broken body back to the VIP room. The huge hole in his chest, from front to back, was still filled with Saint-level destructive energy. He had lost half of his head. If Ji You hadn't wanted to avoid a full-scale war with the Great Xia camp, this ancestor would have already perished without a doubt.

Jiang He silently revised the announcement, increasing the price for treating the legendary figure by five medium-sized soul crystals.

Liu Wusheng: "..."

Good, good, good! (claps hands)
After a moment of silence in anger, Liu Wusheng slammed the five soul crystals onto the table. In any case, having the King of the Era intervene would definitely be cheaper than slowly recovering on his own. Moreover, since the injury was caused by Ji You, even a legendary figure might not dare to treat him.

Seeing that the other party had paid the bill, Jiang He snapped her fingers readily, knowing that they would have something to talk about next time they met.

The power of time erased the wound. Liu Wusheng's pupils shrank slightly. Even though he had expected it, he still found it hard to believe that the serious injury that had almost killed him had disappeared in an instant. The power of the king undoubtedly exceeded the normal and extraordinary realm.

"In your time, could anyone really kill you?"

Liu Wusheng clenched his fist, his condition returning to its peak.

Without any deviation, he seemed to have returned to the state before he suffered the severe injury, not cured, but a more complete recovery.

“At the very least, you can’t do it,” Jiang He said sincerely.

Liu Wusheng stood up with a smile. Even though their relationship wasn't harmonious, he had to admit that this guy did have the right to be arrogant. If he had been born into the Liu family, to be honest, he would have recognized him as his ancestor. After all, being a legend was not the end for Mo Ke.

"Take care of yourself. The legends of the Divine Court are not as easy to talk to as I am. With the Five Realms merged, they will not tolerate you."

Jiang He remained noncommittal. The fusion of the five realms was still nearly a year away, and it might be brought forward again due to the efforts of the legends. But even if there was a great threat, he would not be powerless to fight back.

After half an hour.

A hero from the Roman Pantheon arrived, carrying a tattered banner, while the elderly man accompanying him, from the Egyptian camp, carried a broken scepter. The Roman hero spoke: "The Standard of Constantine, a legendary support item, grants temporary immortal-level physical defense to its troops, historically renowned for its invulnerability..."

With a snap of his fingers, the Crusader flag was restored.

"Pay up, next one," Jiang He said, waving his hand.

The Roman hero stood there, stunned, staring blankly at the restored military standard. After paying, he seemed somewhat at a loss.

The Egyptian elder stepped forward and said, "Sir, this is the key to activate the pyramid war puppets, a legendary item..."

"Stop saying those useless things."

Time has returned, and the scepter has been restored.

The old man silently turned around and stood with the Roman hero. The speed of the repair was so fast that it was unbelievable. The two looked at each other and exchanged tools to check.

Throughout the day, Jiang He served nine customers, and including Liu Wusheng's treatment fee, he earned twenty-one medium-sized soul crystals. This basically covered all the items worth repairing in the hands of the legendary figures in the current realm. Of course, there must still be damaged items in each faction, but because they cannot be exposed to the light of day, or because they need to maintain strategic deterrence, the legendary figures would rather find a way to repair them themselves than take them out.

Si Ning runs a business selling extraordinary factor drugs and has earned three crystals.

The Land of Gluttony, which murdered the three crystals produced by the ascended beings of past generations.

Jiang He now possessed twenty-seven medium-sized soul crystals, which he invested into the Spear Master skill, resulting in a significant boost.

[Hint: Spear Master LV31→LV58—When using spear-type weapons, deals 680% additional damage and 680% additional soul damage. 10% of total damage is converted into true damage. Spear Master Ability: Disarm—Can disarm an enemy master of skill in one hit.]
[Hint: You have awakened the ultimate ability of the Master Gunner, Deer Slayer Blade – a charged heavy slash that inflicts "Momentum Collapse" on the target, clearing their shields and buffs, and applying the "Severe Wound" status, halving recovery effects, and dealing 100% additional flesh damage with normal attacks.]
[Hint: You have awakened the ultimate ability of the Spear Master - Flowing Cloud Thrust - a three-hit combo (direction can be adjusted at will), with each hit dealing 30% increased damage. The third hit knocks the target back, and normal attacks deal 100% additional armor-piercing damage.]
Finally, Jiang He sold his sub-legendary-level sacred weapon, the Holy Blood Spear, and traded it for a rare treasure of the same level—the Heart of the Crowd—from a peak hero.

By igniting the incense of the nation's dragon vein, Jiang He slightly modified his professional talent tree, changing the condition for obtaining Sin Hunter Value to: the hunter himself must directly physically hunt living beings (at least Heroic Era), and the original requirement of "non-human monsters" disappeared.

Regarding Sin Hunter Value, methods such as energy kills, authority kills, curses, or poison kills are insufficient; the hunter must personally stain their own blood. Clearly, this profession believes that the slaughter of billions of lives is still not sinful or bloody enough.

Jiang He finished his prompting, picked up the snow wine and drank it all. He could vaguely see the dawn on the horizon outside the window.

"Passengers at London Bridge, Eiffel Tower, and Oslo Port, you may now disembark. Have a pleasant journey."

An announcement came over the loudspeaker in the carriage. Zhuang Ya woke up rubbing her eyes. She first gripped the Imperial Sword, then got up and started packing her things.

The two got off the vehicle through the spatial passage. When the fog dissipated, their figures appeared directly in the alley of Oslo Port. Several other players who also got off the vehicle avoided them. By the time they reached the Golden Age, they had all heard some legends about the King of the Age.

Jiang He activates the invitation to the Ice Sea World.

Familiar cutscenes flashed before my eyes: a world of ice and snow, mountains draped in silver, monsters roaming the land, Vikings living in tribal settlements, and across the sea, the Wessex Empire and three great kingdoms standing tall.

[At the end of the 8th century AD, with population growth and advancements in navigation technology, and driven by various factors including religious animosity, some Vikings turned their attention to the sea. Led by the famous Northland chieftain Ragnar Rodbrok, a Viking warrior legion crossed the sea, reached the Land of Truth, and attacked and brutally massacred the Lindisfarn Abbey on the coast, marking the beginning of the Age of Plunder.]
[On the continent of Truth, monasteries were previously considered sacred and solemn places, storing vast amounts of gold and silver. Viking warriors returned laden with spoils, and by 844, raiding had become a craze among the northern Vikings. Compared to the Viking warriors, who were trained in combat skills from childhood, honed their bodies, and were "ready to die," the armies of the three kingdoms appeared particularly weak. Meanwhile, the empire was in a period of intense turmoil, and the sorcerer council serving the royal authority was powerless to do anything about it. The Vikings' "berserker" nature made them exceptionally adept at hunting sorcerers.]
[Barbarism and civilization are inextricably intertwined in the era of plunder and being plundered.]
[Note: The continent of Truth worships Allah, while the northern lands worship Odin. There are no native gods in this world.]
[Hint: Demon Hunters: Divided into five factions: Cat, Wolf, Bear, Griffin, and Viper. Warlock Council: A warlock organization with its own male and female warlock training institutions. They maintain the elite status of warlocks on the continent of Truth by serving the monarch. Truth Cult: A faith and certification organization under the royal system…]
[Note: Kings of the North: The Vikings did not have a centralized state; there were four to five kings at the same time. As of 844, the most famous Viking king was Ragnar Rodbroek, who formed an alliance with several kings after reaching an agreement to launch a naval attack on the imperial capital.]
[Note: The Continent of Truth consists of the Wessex Empire in the south, the Golden Oak Kingdom in the north, the Emerald Kingdom in the east, and the Thorn Kingdom in the west. The Empire and the three kingdoms are separated by the Abyss of Truth, with few north-south passages and consistently strained relations. The only instance of alliance occurred in 793, when a player posing as the True God descended and was subsequently annihilated by a combined force of the royal families and the Church of Truth.]
[Note: This world's standard of strength:]

Ordinary beings in the Heroic Age: ordinary people/slaves/common wild beasts/servant soldiers/farm guards, etc.

Elite beings of the Heroic Age: Warriors/Knights/Professional Soldiers/Warlocks/Demon Hunters/Druids/Monsters, etc.

The pinnacle beings of the Heroic Age: Warrior Captain/Knight Captain/Soldier Captain/Archmage/Great Witcher/Great Druid/Great Monster, etc.

The "unique" powerhouses of the Heroic Age: Great Warriors/Great Knights/Color Warlocks/Color Demon Hunters/Calamity-level Monsters, etc.

Note: Different extraordinary systems have unique cultivation methods.
[Hint: The Coronation Grounds of Kings: A sacred ceremony where the heirs of the Empire and the three great kingdoms must be present]
[Note: There is some connection between the Ice Sea World and the Twilight Battlefield; the Warlock Council has been heavily infiltrated by Twilight players.]
[Note: Due to the "Civilization and Barbarism" curse, any player in the Frozen Sea world will regain normal physical survival functions. Creatures below Legendary level are expected to die upon opening their storage pouches. Players are strictly prohibited from engaging in any technologically advanced actions beyond their current capabilities. The specific reason is a world-class secret.]
[Note: Due to the lack of a foundational achievement, the heroic status of beings in the Ice Sea World is temporary. When the energy of the Holy Domain is exhausted, the heroic status and the power of heaven and earth will disappear, and peak heroic beings are expected to face a high probability of being surrounded and killed.]
[Note: Named Weapons: When a user achieves something, the world imprints power onto the weapon. Over time, this accumulation makes the weapon stronger or allows it to grow stronger (from Epic to Sub-Legendary).]
[Note: The Ice Sea World is a high-risk world and is not recommended for players below the Heroic Age to explore. The world's durability is at the Holy Spirit level.]
[Note: The Viking hierarchy is: Baron, Earl, King. The True Continent hierarchy is: Baron, Earl, King. During special periods, a Grand Duke may be appointed as the regional ruler. Earls are military leaders. There are no viscounts or marquises.]
[Quest Name: Kings of the Frozen Sea and Demon Hunters]
[Executor-exclusive main quest requirement: Consume wealth and accumulate wealth points (0/100). Wealth points determine the final reward level after the world ends, up to the Mythical level.]
[Main Quest 1: Become a Baron]
[Quest Reward: Legendary Skill Enhancement Scroll *1 (No Animal Companion)]
[Task Time Limit: 90 calendar days]
[Task Penalty: None]
[Note: Barons often served as military deputies and pillars of rule for earls.]
[Hunter Mission Name: Twilight Punisher]
[Quest Description: Kill the individual with the highest reputation among the Twilight player group to obtain a Legendary Gem. This quest can be repeated up to five times. Collecting five Legendary Gems will automatically upgrade the gem to a Holy Spirit Gem.]
[Initial Identity: Viking Freeman]
[Note: The temporary language translation module has been loaded.]
World, begin!
