The Boss King actually disguised himself as a novice village chief?!
Chapter 546 - 437 Suddenly Rich

Chapter 546: Chapter 437 Suddenly Rich

It’s not some cliché drama.

Lind couldn’t help but think to himself.

Although there was no romantic affection between him and Tione, just the title of "married," he would definitely be the first to disagree if it meant sacrificing Tione to protect the world, regardless of his own feelings and whether the Undead would accept it.

This plot wouldn’t pass muster with him.

Fortunately, the round-faced Princess didn’t keep Lind waiting too long before she explained, "She possesses the same power as the Ring Knights responsible for the Seal, the bloodline bestowed by the Ring of Magic, and the power fused into her body from the shards of the Magic Ring."

"Ring Knights?"

Lind remembered that Tione was known as the "Ring Nun" in the eyes of the Undead. If it wasn’t a coincidence, then that was certainly part of the hidden plot.

"You’re talking about the Magic Ring bloodline, it’s the human nobility, right?" Lind asked Magdalena, knowing nobility had inherent bloodline powers. Why she seemed so surprised, and he also had the bloodline of the Old Nobility, which had nearly gone out of control several times.

Using the name of the nobility and activating the power within their bloodline, they could transform into the internal test version of the major boss, reaching levels from 41–50, a mid-game level monster that no one could match.

"Human nobility?" Magdalena was puzzled, but then nodded, "The bloodline of a Ring Knight is indeed noble, but from their very inception, they have been born to seal calamities like the Abyssal Demon Monarch. The title ’Ring Knight’ fits their identity and sacrifices better than ’nobility’."

Seeing Lind thinking, Magdalena asked, "Are there many Ring Knights like her where you come from?"

"Does having the Magic Ring bloodline count as a Ring Knight?"

"Of course not." Magdalena shook her head and explained, "There are many people with the Magic Ring bloodline, but after the Ring of Magic was shattered, they completely lost control."

So, Magic Land also had Old Nobility, Lind realized. As long as the others hadn’t completely lost their human form, there was a chance to recruit them.

Since arriving in Magic Land, Lind had deeply felt the pain of insufficient NPC manpower. William had his naturally clumsy nature, and Tione was slow and oblivious, leaving Lind to do almost all the work.

Letting him enjoy benefits was fine, but managing everything in detail was a bit too much to ask; divided attention wasn’t enough. He needed to be able to multi-task by at least a factor of twenty.

Was Tione really the only one that fit the criteria?

Lind considered whether he should also embed a shard of the Magic Ring into his body, although it wouldn’t be as large as the one at the back of Tione’s head, but the small piece he held.

Their conversation didn’t linger on the Seal for too long, and once Lind knew that it was history that the Ring Knights had sacrificed themselves for the Seal, he was relieved.

Good, no need for Tione to sacrifice herself.

Beside them, William frequently looked at the two, recalling the legend of "life and death together" told by the Undead. Mister Lind surely couldn’t bear to lose Miss Tione. Perhaps if it came to sacrificing himself to save the world, they might sacrifice themselves hand in hand.

Even Beast Girl Soralis’s tail wagging speed picked up a bit, moved. Maybe she wouldn’t curse Lind to be bitten by Ull tonight.

The two naturally shifted their conversation to the topic of "Ring Knights."

The Ring Knights, once responsible for Seals in various places, had been tormented by madness and the power of their bloodlines. In short, they had become the upgraded version of the internal test Old Nobility bosses, possibly version 2.0 or 3.0.

Nowadays, the Ring Knights stayed in their respective fortresses, ruins, and churches, and each one possessed a mastery of at least six rings. Still retaining their instinct to guard the Seals, the Ring Knights would brandish their weapons at any uninvited guests.

It was for this reason that other region’s powerhouses kept their distance from Misty Rain City, never daring to approach and use their lives to further the city’s notorious reputation.

Fights with the powerful had give and take, and at this level, unless necessary, they generally wouldn’t go all out. But with madmen, reason was off the table; better to avoid them if possible.

To William and the others, the conversation between the two seemed very tedious, almost each taking turns speaking after a pause for thought, making it choppy and frustrating to listen to.

Yet in reality, both were turning their brains over at top speed.

Lind was multitasking, thinking simultaneously.

Since his contact with her, he had found that things were becoming troublesome; Legendary-level powerhouses couldn’t even qualify as the basic level of combat power in their conversations. No wonder neither the Crystal Mage nor Wen Riven were willing to come; the Crystal Mage had weaker combat than a Legend, and Wen Riven... so it seemed angels really were the lowest rung of combat minions, making the path from Permafrost Land to Divine Realm all the more treacherous.

The entry-level combat power was five rings, and enemies were generally at six or seven rings, involving matters of world destruction and new eras, making Lind, an Old Nobility from the countryside, appear pitifully weak and powerless.

Lind pondered what he could gain from this; he needed various kinds of knowledge, but it seemed clear that unless he could conjure dozens, or even hundreds, of Epic-level Knight paths, he likely wouldn’t even be able to escape from Magic Land’s "Newbie Village," also known as Beast’s Nest - Wilderness Ruins.

He was sure this was the Newbie Village, since Magdalena was here, while Misty Rain City and Sky Star Magic School were strongholds for the powerful.

"It seems not impossible." Lind looked at Magdalena, who as a Watcher, surely possessed much knowledge.
