I was an apprentice in Ferren

Chapter 143 Legendary Status

Although this Heroes' Feast was refreshing, it was rather bland. However, after seeing those 24-hour buffs such as [Immunity to Poisoning and Fear], [Temporary Increase in Vitality], and [Enhanced Perception Saving Throw], I can only say that this hour was not wasted.

Of course, its usefulness is limited, since he doesn't need to go on fieldwork like those big shots who have left.

However, he did receive some benefits, such as various business cards from these bigwigs.

Although they didn't say anything, taking these things to the local church should give them the same treatment as Deva without much trouble.

The last judge, who spoke with a Nash accent, left him with a rather interesting remark.

"I never expected that old DuPont's son would be so successful. He should be very pleased to hear this news. But you shouldn't go home recently, otherwise you might cause a lot of trouble. Stay at the academy more often."

DuPont felt that this person looked familiar, and glanced at the business card, which read "Nice, Judge of Yellow Sand City".

Hmm, this guy is the kind of ruthless person who would tie cultists to the stake and barbecue them. He might be quite familiar with his cheapskate father.
As they were leaving, Dorothy couldn't help but sigh, muttering under her breath, "You really know how to cause trouble," before leading the two away.

“What did she mean by that?” Deva whispered. “Was it the suggestion you just made?”

"Yes, everyone knows that the Northwest and Northeast have harsh, desolate, and barren environments, and not many people are willing to come. If I were to pass the test, I'm afraid quite a few people would hate me to death." DuPont chuckled, "If I were willing to leave the academy at that time, I'm afraid quite a few people would try to trap me in a sack and beat me up with a club."

"Huh?" Deva was a little confused, but then she realized that she was the only one who had come to Whitestone City, so the possibility seemed quite high. She became a little anxious: "But you only offered your opinion. Whether it is approved or not is the business of the council members. Why are they scolding you?"

"Because they don't dare to object and can't beat those adults, but I'm just a lowly apprentice, so it's normal for them to take their anger out on me." DuPont whistled: "It's human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong, it's normal."

Upon hearing this, Pastor Luna, who was leading the way, couldn't help but glance at her and telepathically messaged Dorothy: "Did you authorize this?"

"If I could give the order, I'd just shut him up," Dorothy retorted irritably. "What good magical items do you have here?"

"What's wrong?" Lü Na was displeased as soon as she heard this: "This isn't a wealthy place like yours with the backing of the academy. There's nothing good here."

"I'll return it to you after it's done, otherwise I'll have to take them back with me. The old man has already agreed, how could I possibly renege on my promise?"

“That’s more like it.” Lu Na was about to nod when she heard him say again, “It has to be the super rare level.”

Upon hearing this, Lü Na was shocked: "Are you crazy? You could have just given me two rare items to fool me. Is this handsome young man your lover?"

“Why not just have him hand over two land deeds? Besides, if this big deal really goes through, are you really going to be able to show off two rare items? People will just say that we in the Northwest are stingy, using a little kid as a stepping stone without giving him any reward.” Dorothy said, looking at Luna’s chest: “You should be more magnanimous.”

"Hmph, for the sake of the old man."

The group walked to the back room, and after producing the warrant and undergoing a magical verification to confirm their identities, the two arcane knights allowed them to pass.

Entering a basement room that resembled a confessional, the space was narrow and had a suppressive magical barrier, making it feel chilly.

“Don’t worry, it’s just a necessary measure.” Dorothy said, pointing to the iron golems leaning against the wall. “The church is basically the most likely place to be targeted by thieves besides banks. We prepare extra security, otherwise even a small theft could cost four figures, and no one can afford that loss.”

“There’s nothing good on the first and second floors, let’s go straight to the third floor.” Dorothy said, looking at the two of them, “Is there anything you want?”

Deva frowned, genuinely not recalling it, while Dupont grinned, "I've handed over all six land deeds, can I exchange them for a Grand Mage's robe?"

Lu Na was both amused and annoyed by these words. This guy was really asking for an exorbitant price: "The Archmage's Robe is a legendary item that money can't buy. Not to mention, we don't have the authority to do so in a small place like ours. But if you want, I can find you a staff that can cast Fireball twice a day. It's worth close to 2 gold on the market."

“I’m about to advance to a third-ring mage, what do I need that piece of junk for?” Dupont suddenly felt a bit bored and looked at Dorothy: “I saw that +4 Strength, Agility, and Constitution belt before, I can use three land deeds as collateral.” “We don’t have that kind of thing here!” Luna’s teeth itched. She strongly suspected that the other party’s request was instigated by Dorothy to embarrass her: “Why don’t you want a +8 Ultimate Combat Belt? Strength, Agility, and Constitution are all +8, the market price is only 350,000 gold.”

Hearing this, DuPont's eyes lit up: "Okay, can I get a loan? I should have no problem paying back 30,000 a year, and I can even give you 30,000 as interest."

"Alright, stop fooling around." It was Deva who spoke, picking up a pure white vest: "+4 resistance shirt, can I choose this, Priest?"

Perhaps DuPont's asking price was too high, because Luna actually breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the paladin choose the item worth 8000 gold coins, even though it was one of the most valuable items she had: "Your contributions are certainly significant, but still..."

DuPont produced the deed to the estate in Aleville: "Making some contributions, huh? Is that enough?"

Seeing this, which was exactly what she wanted, Lü Na smiled immediately: "It's not good to be so formal, but since you are so sincere, then it's fine."

"Fine, I'll just pick one of these too." DuPont chose the same style shirt.

+4 Resistance Vest
Attribute: +4 All Attribute Saves.

Description: This elegant white leather vest features silver piping and silver buttons, giving it an angelic glow.

This saves me the trouble of changing my cloak: "That land deed should be enough for both of us, since we're going to get something anyway."

Luna looked at Dorothy: "The church is never stingy with those who have made contributions, but donations are always based on the individual."

DuPont pretended not to hear; he wouldn't be here to donate money if he had nothing better to do. The group left the treasury and arrived at the church entrance. DuPont stretched and said, "It's almost Monday again. This weekend was really tiring. Deva, I'm off."

The paladin was a little reluctant to part, but he didn't know what to say. After a few seconds, he said, "Come visit me next week if you're free."

"Look, I've actually messed up pretty badly this time." DuPont glanced at the system notification and couldn't help but laugh. "I bet a lot of second-generation gods are coming to beat me up. I need to figure out a way to avoid this disaster. This feeling of suddenly being an enemy of the world is really quite strange."

"It can't be that bad..." The paladin was puzzled, but DuPont and the priestess had already boarded the carriage, said goodbye, and headed to the academy under the moonlight.

Your proposal has caught the attention of the Harua Council, and your name is being spoken of by many powerful professionals.

You have gained 2 Legendary Points. If the impact becomes greater in the future, your Legendary Points may continue to increase.

My guess was right after all.

In high spirits, DuPont couldn't resist touching Dorothy's plump thigh, applying slight pressure: "Priest, it's just the two of us here."

"Stop fooling around." The pastor frowned and snorted. "There are coachmen outside."

"Isn't there a soundproof barrier inside the carriage?"

"But wouldn't making big movements cause a jolt?" The female priest was still shaken by what she had experienced last week. This little rascal was incredibly energetic, and she had to use divine magic to recover her strength.

“Why not just use a levitation spell? Besides, we can try something else.” DuPont tossed the female priest’s blonde hair. The priest always carried the scent of roses, like those of the Sunny Church. “I must say, I almost died here yesterday. If I were to perish, would you lay flowers at my grave every year?”

"You should avoid saying such unlucky things," the female pastor said, tying her hair up and giving a charming look. "This is the last time."
