Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

In the munitions department, a young man was sitting behind the counter, looking at the account book in front of him and scratching his head.

"Oh, I ate almost three days' worth of food reserves last night. These people must be very good at eating, and so is the general."

"Forget it, it's almost time to replenish supplies anyway. Then I'll apply for more shares from the empire, as well as weapons..."

While he was immersed in settling accounts, a greeting came to the young man's ears.

"Hello, is this Quartermaster Upton?"

The young man raised his head and saw a tall figure standing in front of the counter. The strong muscles were faintly visible, especially a pair of arms. Even through the clothes, the muscle lines could be clearly seen, like steel poured into iron.

There are many muscular soldiers in the fortress, but there are not many who give such a condensed and capable look. Coupled with the dark black wolf cloak, a wild and domineering temperament comes to the face.

"Yes, I'm Quartermaster Upton."

Upton's body straightened slightly as he sat behind the counter, and his eyes wandered around the figure in front of him.

"I remember you, right? Bunir greeted me yesterday."

"Here is the supply list from the Munitions Department. Take a look."

With that said, Upton took out a list from under the counter and handed it to Xu Yue, and then continued to write and draw on the account book. He could see that the person in front of him was very strong, but it had little to do with him. , After staying in the position of quartermaster for a long time, he has seen too many strong men coming and going, and as time goes by, he becomes less and less concerned.

"Thank you."

After thanking Xu Yue, he took the list, and the prompt for Samsara Paradise appeared.

[You have activated the merit exchange system. In this world, you are not allowed to intimidate Quartermaster Upton or any other bad means. If you are hostile to Quartermaster Upton, you will be expelled from the Black Mountain Fortress. 】

Xu Yue was not surprised by the paradise prompt. The quartermaster controlled a large amount of supplies, and the force value was generally not too high.

Therefore, there will always be some contractors who are not so clear-minded and are greedy and choose to take risks. Judging from the paradise prompts, this kind of incident should have happened more than once.

…

The items and equipment on the item list are densely arranged in a large area, but except for the blue items on the top, most of them are green quality equipment. For contractors at this stage, green equipment is already the mainstream. .

Xu Yue looked at his merit points. There were 1,180 points in total, 400 of which came from the impact of the fire on the entire battle, and the rest came from the number of enemies he killed.

The items in the list, except for the two blue pieces of equipment, are all within his redemption range, especially the three professional inauguration medals. After redemption, he can directly have a main profession with great potential.

The world of Dragon Nest is a big producer of professions. The bonuses of basic professions are not many, but they are extremely universal. After the basic professions, there are many rare or mysterious second-level job transfers, which is powerful. start.

Moreover, basic professions such as warriors, knights, priests, etc., in addition to the world of Dragon Nest, there are also many professional inheritances that can be seamlessly connected in other derived worlds, so there is no need to worry about the problem of being stuck after reaching the maximum potential.

If he hadn't had the previous conversation with Hubert, he might have chosen a basic profession first, and then sought a more powerful second-level job transfer, but now, he had greater ambitions.

The previous conversation with Hubert outside the munitions station echoed in Xu Yue's mind again.

"The tenth person...how to say?"

"The inheritance of a profession requires the Inaugural Medal, which is the inheritance seed of the profession. After absorbing it, you can possess the power of the profession."

"But in addition to the specific professional medals, our temple also has a unique blank medal, which is condensed with the divine power of the goddess. It does not have corresponding professional characteristics, but is pure divine power."

"After you absorb it, and then use the magic crystal of Warcraft or high-quality energy gems as a driving source, the goddess's divine power can temporarily enhance your characteristics and extend them to the extent that you can condense professional seeds. In this way, a new profession was born.”

"It's that simple?"

"It sounds very simple. To realize this process, first of all, the characteristics you possess must have enough potential, so that after the expansion of divine power, you can reach the level where you can condense professional seeds."

"Secondly, the energy source you use for driving must be strong enough, so that the expansion effect of divine power will be better, and the new profession formed will be stronger."

"Finally, the profession you have condensed has no subsequent secondary transfer. It all depends on your personal development. How far you can go depends entirely on your ability. Only if you are strong enough to be recognized by the entire continent, can you become The true tenth man.”

"I have explained the pros and cons clearly. Whether you have the courage and ambition to take this rugged road depends on your choice. To be honest, I am very optimistic about your flame."

"It's interesting. How do you exchange for the blank medal you mentioned? Do you use merit points?"

"Haha, it seems you have made a decision!"

"This is my priest token. With this, you can exchange it with Upton for a blank medal."

"So why is Lord Hubert so enthusiastic?"

"Don't worry, I told you that I don't have any ill intentions. I'm just more curious. I want to see more possibilities and a richer future."

"Of course, if the new profession you condensed is promoted to the point where it can be divided into inheritance seeds, I also hope to get one."

"make a deal."

The conversation in his mind dispersed, Xu Yue came to his senses at the counter, put down the list in his hand, took out Hubert's token and placed it in front of the quartermaster.

The metal token fell on the wooden table, making a crisp sound, which also attracted the attention of Upton, who was still immersed in settling accounts.

Upton looked up, glanced at the token on the counter, and hesitated. Then he looked at Xu Yue with a strange expression.

"You don't have a career?"

Xu Yue nodded. When Upton saw Xu Yue's confirmation, his face became weirder, but he didn't say much. After putting away the tokens on the counter, he took out a delicate small box and put it in front of Xu Yue, and then asked road.

"The things are inside, do you need to exchange anything else?"

"no thank you."

After putting away the box, Xu Yue turned and left.

Now his merit points are in a state of more than enough, and he is not going to exchange them for other things for the time being. He is quite interested in the two blue pieces of equipment. There is no shortage of ways to earn merit points here, so now Save a wave.

Behind him, Upton looked at Xu Yue's retreating figure, with some pity in his eyes, and murmured to himself.

"Oh, it's another person who was fooled by Sir Hubert's tenth man theory. I guess this is the third one this year... tsk tsk tsk tsk."

While he was sighing, a soldier quickly ran from the door.

"Lord Upton, the general has ordered you to go to the conference room immediately. There is an emergency meeting."

"Ah, emergency meeting..."

…………

Black Mountain Fortress, a large conference room.

Several senior officials of the fortress sat around a round table, and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.

Thorne, who was in charge, looked solemn and spoke first.

"Is the situation sure?"

The next one, a middle-aged man wearing a pointed hood and dressed as an assassin, responded respectfully:

"Report to the general, the intelligence is confirmed. A large number of monsters are pouring out from the dark valley. The number is no less than 100,000. In addition to the ones attacking the fortress head-on, there are also two that are bypassing the fortress. Heading towards the rear of the empire,"

"One hundred thousand monsters? The monsters that attacked the city five years ago were only eighty thousand, right? Are those monsters crazy?"

After listening to the man's information, the chief engineer beside him became a little unable to sit still and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Rebecca, calm down. As long as I'm still here, those demon cubs can't break this fortress."

Thorne's expression remained unchanged, he pressed his palms to signal the engineer to be quiet, and then turned to look at the clerk aside.

"Is this the first time in the past few years that monsters have become restless?"

"Reporting to the general, the monsters have become more active since three years ago. This is the sixth time the monsters have attacked the city in three years, and it is also the largest number so far."

"Even though we eliminated the number of monsters once a month before, the number of monsters attacking the city is still becoming more and more frequent."

After listening to the clerk's report, Thorne turned his head and looked in the direction of the dark valley. Even though he was separated by a wall, his eyes seemed to be looking through the fortress and towards the dragon sleeping deep in the valley.

"It seems that the information sent from the elves is correct?"

"Elf?" Rebecca felt a little sensitive when she heard the word "elf" and asked quickly. "Thorne, how come you have contact with the elves? What information did they send?"

"I don't have much friendship with elves, but a few days ago the elf princess Nelven suddenly sent an elf to deliver a message, saying that the magic dragon in the dark valley is about to awaken, so that our Black Mountain Fortress should be prepared for emergencies."

"Hmph, the words of those elves may not be trustworthy. Have you forgotten that the empire killed an unknown number of elves during the Battle of Forgotten Ruins fifty years ago? How would they be so kind as to remind us?"

Rebecca spoke angrily. Her father died in the Battle of the Ruins fifty years ago, so she was quite prejudiced against the elves, even though she knew that the original initiator of the war was humans.

"That was so many years ago. With Nelven's status and status, he would not talk nonsense about such an important event that affected the entire continent. And looking at the current situation of the monsters in Black Mountain, I'm afraid this statement is not true."

Thorne also knew the origin of Rebecca's bad attitude and didn't pay much attention to it. He just replied a few words based on the matter.

Hubert, who was sitting beside him, also spoke:

"The elf is probably right. Yesterday Bishop Telamai also sent me a message. I should pay attention to the movements of the dark valley recently. He has already sensed that the increasingly dense darkness in the valley has a tendency to expand outward."

"Pastor Telamai also has this premonition, so he's probably right."

"Demon dragon, I didn't expect that I would have a chance to fight the demon dragon after guarding the Black Mountain Fortress for thirty years."

As he spoke, Thorne's eyes towards the dark valley gradually changed from gloomy to fiery.

"Haha, after guarding this thing for half a life, it's time to fight it. A few decades ago, the empire could let it hide in the dark valley and sleep, but now I can make it unable to fly in this fortress."

Thorne's passionate voice echoed in the conference room, making the water glasses on the conference table buzz and tremble, while also sweeping away the somewhat gloomy atmosphere before.

"Upton, how long do we have enough supplies in the fortress to support us?"

"Report to General, it won't be a problem to support it for several months."

"Okay, I want to see how long these 100,000 monsters are enough for our Black Mountain Fortress to kill."

"Bernie, please report the situation in the Dark Valley of the Empire, especially indicating that the dragon may be showing signs of recovery."

"Yes, general." Nuoran, the secretary on the side, took the order.

"Ogusge, how many monsters are there in the two groups that bypass the fortress and go to the rear?"

"General, the number of monsters on each wing is about 5,000, including about 400 orc cavalry." The man who answered this time was the man dressed as an assassin. He is the strongest scout in the fortress.

"That's ten thousand monsters." Thorne touched his chin and looked down at Kairos, who had been unable to speak.

"Kairos, I will give you another thousand cavalry, and lead the knights to wipe out all the devils who dare to dig into my back."

"As you command, general." Kairos promised, but looked at the general as if he wanted to say something.

"Huh?" Thorne clearly saw the clues and shouted angrily: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have anything to say, let it go!"

"General, I want someone from you."

"explain."

"The soldier who used purple fire on the battlefield yesterday."

"That boy, I have some impressions. He is a good prospect. Okay, he will join your knights. You can decide on the position."

"Hubert, inform the priests to prepare to activate the fortress runes."

"As you command, General."

"Rebecca, control all the airships to take off, and the city wall magic crystal cannons will be warmed up."

"As you command, General."

After giving orders to everyone, Thorne slammed his big hand on the conference table in front of him and shouted loudly at the same time.

"The order is given, the trumpets are blown, and all the soldiers in the fortress are ready for war."

"I will make sure that all attacking monsters will never come back!"

"Yes, General!!!"
