Chapter 152: - The Guild's Proposal
Back to the Immortal Legacy, Broken, Freya, Elincia, Maylock, and Goldrich all gathered in a spacious meeting room at their lodging-a place that served as the designated meeting ground for members of The Ass Guild. Even though the room was large, it felt unusually empty, with only the five of them present.
As they settled into the room, Elincia glanced towards Broken and asked, "I heard you've successfully crafted a Legendary-grade Item. Is that true?"
Only Broken, Freya, and Ivana knew the details about the item's grade, but the blacksmiths in the smithy had quickly recognized its grade from the golden-energy waves it emitted as it was freshly crafted. News of its creation had spread like wildfire, especially since members of The Ass Guild had been paying particular attention to him.
Broken remained silent, not directly answering her question. Instead, he posed one of his own. "Do you believe a low-level player could actually craft a Legendary-grade item?"
Goldrich responded with a laugh. "Khi khi khi. Traditionally, Legendary-grade items could only be crafted by Master Rank Blacksmiths, as the history books tell us. But ever since the arrival of players, we've seen many incredible and seemingly impossible feats. I believe this could be another one."
Elincia smiled slightly and said, "Looks like Goldrich was correct-you go quiet when you don't want to share something."
Maylock added, "Let's not turn this conversation into an interrogation."
Elincia reassured Maylock, "Don't worry, he has every right to have his secrets. We're just making small talk to ease the tension."
Looking back at Broken, her expression softened. "Have you forgiven the misunderstanding between us?"
Broken gave a slight nod. "Yes," he said slowly. "I don't think there is any more reason for this matter to remain unresolved. Especially after you all kept your promise to assist me in collecting the materials I needed to craft my item."
He paused for a brief moment. "And I must thank you as well," he added. "I've gained a great deal from your help, even as you endured the aftermath of the raid battle incident."
Maylock added, "This isn't just a small competition. Crafters from all over Dissidia and even from nearby countries will be participating. This event will be broadcast live on TV around the world. You could quickly become popular if you make a name for yourself in this big competition. Plus, there's a grand prize that hasn't been won by anyone for decades."
Broken slowly nodded, feeling genuinely intrigued by the word "competition." Not only did it promise a hefty reward, but the chance to work directly under Princess Alora also meant access to the palace and its exceptional facilities-a significant opportunity for him.
He then asked, "What if I take all of the rewards and opportunities for myself and prioritize my own interests over yours?"
Maylock's expression shifted. "In light of this, we would like to propose a mutually beneficial arrangement."
"Please, describe the details of this agreement," Broken urged.
"We are willing to be your partners in this grand mission," Maylock began. "If we can secure victory, you'll receive 10% of the overall results-10% for you and 90% for our Guild. Of course, nothing worth having comes without risk or effort. Nonetheless, I hope you recognize the value in our offer."
Broken paused, contemplating Maylock's words. The proposal was tempting, but he needed to weigh his options carefully.
He was uncertain of the future, yet he was pretty sure that The Ass Guild would be a dependable ally. If he could form a beneficial relationship with them, it would benefit him in
some way.
Yet, one thing nagged at him, sticking out like a sore thumb in his heart. He knew the rewards would be plentiful, and he agreed to help Princess Alora ascend as the new queen. But he had another quest—a far more demanding one: to seize control of the throne.
He paused, letting the tension in the room settle before he spoke.
"Listen, I'm not asking for a lot. All I want is the privilege to be the first to pick the most significant position available in the kingdom or choose from the rewards you've promised, with the fair 10% share you mentioned, if we win this war."
The room was silent as everyone took in his words.
