The Boss King actually disguised himself as a novice village chief?!
Chapter 740 - 535 The Golden [!] on the Map

Chapter 740: Chapter 535 The Golden [!] on the Map

The interior layout of the War Throne gave Magdalena a strong sense of familiarity; its more intuitive design.

Markets, squares, residences, each with a clearly defined function, it was like the ultimate form of the Undead-led Newbie Village—if she hadn’t taken the opportunity to seize control of Newbie Village, perhaps under Lind’s leadership, it might have turned out this way.

It didn’t feel like a living city, with its cold, functional divisions, so straightforward that one could easily navigate the broad streets just by looking at the map.

It was as if a group of people unfamiliar with the roads might appear here.

Magdalena walked westward toward Tione; she hadn’t changed at all, still wearing a nun’s long skirt with a giant disc behind her head.

Ring Knight.

The two had little interaction, completely unfamiliar; she only knew that the other was Lind’s fiancée, a cold woman who rarely smiled.

As Magdalena approached Tione, she greeted her, but Tione suddenly showed a gentle smile.

Her delicate, icy face thawed instantly with a gentle smile, as if a warm spring breeze had blown over, turning into a nurturing drizzle that soaked into her heart and soul.

"Princess Magdalena," Tione said, her hands clasped in front of her navel, her graceful demeanor reminding the round-faced Princess of a noble lady.

"Miss Tione," Magdalena replied, regaining her composure with impeccable manners.

The two strangers seemed like old friends at that moment.

Tione warmly welcomed Magdalena’s visit and even extended an invitation to the Lord Hall where the War Throne was located.

"I’ll buy some sweets."

Tione volunteered.

"Sweets?"

The Lord’s fiancée?

But after thinking it over, Magdalena felt it was quite normal; her fiancé was Lind Armand, a man absolutely problematic in the head, with followers skilled at their duties, who were utilized precisely at crucial moments.

That a powerful individual could be without a single attendant or even an army of his own was unbelievable unless witnessing Lind alive and embodying that example.

"Are they for Lord Armand?"

Before this, she would never use such an obsequious title for Lind.

But now she was sober.

"I like them too," Tione responded.

Also? So, it was still for Lind.

Lucky her, having a powerful, gentle, and beautiful fiancée and powerful influence, Magdalena couldn’t help but feel excruciating jealousy as now she wanted to join Lind’s faction and worried they might deem her useless.

Once her greatest reliance, Corruption King Grace, a mighty 6-ring Beast King, now had to keep his tail between his legs within the War Throne.

The distant warfare once again raised a wave of heat, tumultuous fiery clouds roared tempestuously; looking afar as if she was in the midst of the haze, the battlefield raging even hotter than the sun, towards the direction of Misty Rain City.

Together, the two walked side by side, the hastening Undead not paying them any attention.

"Those, they..." Magdalena couldn’t help asking, "Why aren’t they stopping us?"

Inside the War Throne, the immense number of Undead was staggering; passing down a street, the dense crowd reminded her of her own spirited days.

Back then, after throwing out substantial rewards, the Undead swarmed around her like crazy, showering her with praise, wanting to join her.

She later realized that the Undead were just scamming for startup capital.

Magdalena gazed intently and noticed the problem lay with one man, a golden [!] floating above his head.

The exclusive totem badge of Armand’s power.

"They really are loyal Undead," she couldn’t help but exclaim. Previously, despite investing significant funds, the Undead often neglected their responsibilites after receiving their assignments.

If they completed their work in a fortnight or a month, that was considered good; most simply ignored it outright.

With law not holding against the majority, Magdalena wanted to punish those Undead who took on jobs but did nothing; however, discovering their numbers in the thousands or tens of thousands, she quelled the idea.

What punishment could there be? Killing them was useless as they couldn’t die.

Capturing and imprisoning them was feasible, but some Undead chose to vanish and never reappear again; she inquired of several more loyal Undead, who only after receiving the rewards for the tasks upfront revealed that those individuals had deleted their accounts.

She didn’t understand, but she knew she had no way of handling the Undead.

In contrast, in Armand’s faction, the Undead still vied eagerly to work for him.

"I can take less money!"

"I don’t want money!"

"I will pay you instead!"

Seeing them willing to give their all selflessly for Armand, Magdalena knew she was thoroughly defeated.

There was no way she could compare.

Tione then answered the question Magdalena had earlier: "In the War Throne, all Undead only need to find the golden ’!’ to know who needs work."

She suddenly stopped, at a crossroads.

On the side of the road, there stood a giant Magic map, keeping real-time track of the situation within the War Throne.

When the round-faced Princess looked at the map, she was surprised to find many golden ’!’s on it.

"Can you tell from here where there is work?"

She learned.

But it was useless.

The Undead were unwilling to work sincerely for her; even if she learned, what was the use? Probably only Lind Armand could use this method in this world.

"Undead also have a map." Tione nodded, "Within his power range, he can see these markers."

Magdalena listened while unconsciously focusing on one ’!’, because there was a black giant dragon nesting there.

Text suddenly unfolded before her eyes.

[Black Phosphorus King’s Furious Flame]

[The terrifying Black Phosphorus King, seemingly troubled by something, may feel better seeing his power shine elsewhere]

[Mission Requirement: Wear the ’Black Phosphorus King’s Furious Flame Hammer (set)’ and defeat a Rank 5 powerhouse, inflicting no less than 5% damage]

[Mission Reward: 10 Keys to the Black Phosphorus King’s Treasure Vault]

She opened her mouth.

"This..."

Magdalena exclaimed that this was a version of the game she had never seen before.

She asked subconsciously, "Has anyone completed it?"

Defeating a Rank 5 powerhouse, she could do it herself; she had a Rank 6 Wolf, although not very notable among Rank 6 creatures, but it was still a Rank 6.

This was a perfect opportunity to impress a legendary figure by just defeating a Rank 5.

Magdalena was tempted.

"If you’re interested, you can take it up too," said Tione.

Lind usually did not discuss territorial development with her because he did not really care about it, even if he talked about other casual topics while holding her head, he would say that territory can be established casually.

Holding the head was for a direct soulful communication.

She sometimes saw Lind and the Black Phosphorus King together, discussing something, mostly initiated by the Black Phosphorus King concerning popularity, equipment, Character Cards, and even the Treasure Vault and more.

Especially the Treasure Vault, Tione once saw the Black Phosphorus King bringing several treasures, buying a large number of junk equipment that Lind reclaimed at low prices.

In the words of the Black Phosphorus King, that’s called filling the Treasure Vault.

To make a profit off the Black Phosphorus King first, and then to make another profit from the Undead.

"Of course, I want to try," Magdalena said, immediately adding with some concern, "Could I possibly go and disturb the Black Phosphorus King to get the mission?"

He was the Black Phosphorus King, an ancient giant dragon; would she bother him for such a trivial matter?

"You just need to register some information, and you can get the mission through the ’!’." Tione explained.

"Register?"

"Join the War Throne." Tione didn’t hold back.

She knew Lind seemed to value Magdalena highly; otherwise, with his current power, he would have used brute force to eliminate Corruption King Grace long ago, there would be no need to deliberately ignore the Undead-led Newbie Village.

"I am willing!" Magdalena nodded eagerly, afraid to miss the chance.

If she did not seize the opportunity now, there would be no chance in the future.
