Chapter 1036: Chapter 673: The Mysterious Dannie_2

The six crystalline statues on the street seemed like "warning signs," making the other players behave much more obediently.

The Polaris Squad wandered around White King City, curiously observing everything around them.

They noticed that the residents here were somewhat different from ordinary people.

Either their hair was tinged with some pallor, or scattered snake scales grew on their exposed skin. In short, it seemed like symptoms of some mysterious pollution.

Polaris could actually understand.

After all, this was an outland city covered by crystallization, where the Azure King’s power isolated the eyes of Outer Continent deities. It always required some price to be paid... and that was the unavoidable dispersion of mystical pollution, causing the ordinary people living here to undergo mutations.

However, these mutations didn’t pose any harm; instead, they enhanced the residents’ physical condition. The only downside might be that their appearance became "distorted."

Yet, the residents of White King City did not resent this change.

On the contrary, they called this phenomenon "The Pale Baptism," a result of receiving the Azure King’s blessing and gift.

People took pride in their degree of "transformation."

Just like the Lucius Family that ruled White King City, the four direct descendants were the epitome of complete "transformation," and they were deeply respected and loved by the local residents.

The Polaris Squad, amazed by all they encountered along the way.

Finally, they made their way straight to the great gate of the castle, planning to meet with Dannie for some interaction.

Players who made it to Sequence Five weren’t fools, as many had already arrived here. There were over a hundred of them, divided into several groups.

Yet, all these players were blocked by the guardians.

No matter what they said, they were not allowed to enter the castle.

"Apologies, dear outsiders, Miss Dannie has ordered that no one may enter White King Fortress without her permission,"

one of the guardians said coldly, drawing his sword to block them.

At this point, Polaris stepped forward, showing the serpent ring on his finger and said solemnly:

"My name is Polaris, a student of His Majesty, the Azure King."

"A student of... the Azure King?!"

The guardian’s expression changed dramatically in shock.

They glanced at Polaris, only to feel that the man standing before them possessed a powerful, mysterious aura, strikingly similar to that of City Lord Neil... a great mythical presence!

Immediately, the guardians dared not doubt.

"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty Polaris. We’ll inform you immediately."

"Your Majesty?!"

The hundreds of players present heard the guardian’s words and were taken aback.

"Has Brother Bei been promoted to a high rank? No way?!"

Then they all investigated Polaris.

To their shock, they discovered the "Sequence Four" entry gleaming before their eyes.

"The first high-level player in the entire game has been born!"

A similar thought arose simultaneously in the hearts of the other players.

Then came intense joy and excitement.

Polaris’s promotion held extraordinary significance.

It signified that players could indeed achieve high status!

That seemingly difficult, nearly impossible Saint Ritual was achievable as long as you put your heart into it, much like Polaris had done!

He was a trailblazer and an idol for all players!

Unbeknownst to Polaris, he had already become a "living inspiration" among the players, consistently motivating their fighting spirit.

"As expected of the first solo high-level player!"

"Please, master, teach us! How do you get promoted to a high rank?!"

"Take us under your wing, Lord Beishen!"

"Brother Bei, I love you! I want to have your babies!!"

The high-level players around turned red-faced as they swarmed over.

They had long since forgotten about meeting with Dannie; the sight of Polaris seemed far more attractive.

Polaris Squad members’ expressions shifted slightly.

Fortunately, the guardian returned in time to convey Dannie’s message:

"Your Majesty Polaris, please come in. Miss Dannie is resting in the attic."

Whoosh!

With that, Polaris and his team dashed into the castle.

Leaving the remaining high-level players with faces full of regret and disinterest.

"You’re hilarious, Brother Bei. Your promotion to a high rank will soon spread across the entire player community... no matter where you go, you’ll have adoring fans."

Walking up the castle stairs, Dragon King teased.

"The Saint Ritual isn’t that simple... I was only able to rise to Sequence Four with the help of my teacher,"

Polaris sighed ruefully.

Soon, they reached the attic and caught sight of the pale-haired girl sitting on the sofa, toying with her fingers.

"You’re here, sit down."

Dannie, without raising her head, casually gestured toward the sofa in front.

The team exchanged glances, frowning slightly, feeling that the girl seemed somewhat arrogant.

After all, Brother Bei was no less than a Saint, so why was Dannie not showing any respect?

However, it was at this moment that Polaris inexplicably remarked:

"She’s been promoted..."

"Huh?"

The squad looked at him in confusion.

Polaris then added:

"Just now, Dannie was an ordinary person. In less than half an hour, she’s stepped into the Mystic Realm, becoming a Sequence Nine [Dancer] of the Holy Fire Pathway..."

"Is that so?"

Dragon King mumbled.

"That ’Holy Fire Pathway’ is quite novel. I’ve never heard of it before; it must be a new profession from this Outer Continent..."

After everyone sat down in order.

Only then did Dannie shift her focus away from her fingers, casting a meaningful glance at the players in attendance.

"I know you... ’Azure Apostle’ Polaris, hmm, your title is the same as my father’s, who is also White King City’s City Lord Nerlucius."

Polaris seemed somewhat surprised.

He hadn’t expected the other party would know of him.

"It seems that this Neil City Lord is also a person my teacher pays special attention to,"

Polaris pondered.

Then he heard Dannie continue:

"Let’s not dwell on idle talk. From now on, you’ll serve as my personal guards, forming the core of the ’Azure Serpent’ Mercenary Corps... Polaris will assume the role of ’Deputy Head.’"

"Thank you for your trust, Miss Dannie."

Polaris took a deep breath, taking the lead to express their gratitude.

Dongyang Chenxi and the others exchanged glances, a bit surprised.

They hadn’t even made small talk, and the other party had already assigned them positions.

Upon reflection, it could only be attributed to Brother Bei’s identity and strength; they were sharing in his glory.

"We’ll set off in three days. You can find rooms to settle in within White King Fortress. If you have any questions, Butler Marek will provide answers, as he usually patrols the second floor."

With that, Dannie waved her hand.

"Alright, you may leave now."

"Yes, Miss Dannie."

Polaris and the others raised their brows, awkwardly standing up.

From the time they arrived in the attic and sat down, to the moment Dannie waved them off, it had barely been a minute.

The other side showed no interest in idle chit-chat.

It seemed as if she had something more important to attend to.

The players didn’t harbor any ill feelings about it, just finding the pale-haired girl somewhat unique.

Especially Wei Yin.

She frequently turned back, glancing at Dannie.

Secretly, she messaged in the chat channel:

"— I like this lady!"

"— Weren’t you into Jack?"

"— Yes! Jack is first, Dannie is second!"

Wei Yin answered righteously.

As everyone stepped out of the attic door, Polaris inexplicably turned back, taking one last look at Dannie Lucius on the sofa.

The pale-haired girl lowered her head again, continuing to fiddle with her fingers, even twisting her arm, as if playing with some novelty toy...

Polaris’s pupils contracted.

His mouth opened slightly, and he reflexively said:

"She... ascended."

"What?"

The squad members, puzzled, turned back with him, investigating.

Dannie found to be already [Sequence Eight - Commander]!
