The knight commander finally set his eyes on Jon. None of the people present could match him in terms of strength.
Additionally, Jon was an elemental creature that had been summoned here. He would not really die in this world. Comparatively, the threat in the cave was much less.
However, they could not directly tell him that all the creatures above commander-level were too arrogant. Although he was a knight commander in front of humans, he was not much different from demons in the eyes of elemental creatures.
Additionally, he did not live in Wind Riding City. Therefore, he did not have a sense of crisis, which would further reduce the possibility of him agreeing to it.
Thus, the knight commander finally set his gaze on Iris.
“Little girl, I wonder if you are interested in joining the embrace of the God of Aurora? Soon, the church will begin recruiting new clergy substitutes in Wind Riding City. You have performed well in this mission. I can recommend you to the church.”
The church, in the social structure of the mortal continent, was a transcendent organization that stood above all organizational structures. If one could become an official clergy within it, not to mention inheriting the Aaron family, even the city lord would not dare to not show some respect when they met.
However, Iris also understood very well the reason why the knight commander to suddenly tell her this at this time.
Iris looked at Jon expectantly. Although she did not say anything, everything was already conveyed through her eyes.
She understood very well that the reason why the knight commander would be friendly to a young girl like her was entirely because of Jon’s powerful strength behind her. Therefore, if Jon did not agree, it would be useless for her to agree. If Jon did not follow her, Iris’s strength would be meaningless.
Jon looked at Iris and thought about the pros and cons. Although he would not die in this world, if Iris died, he did not know how long it would take for him to return to the human continent.
Seeing that Jon was starting to waver, the knight commander immediately said sincerely, “Dear friend, if you are willing to help us, I am willing to give you this god-blessed item as a reward!”
As the knight commander spoke, he took off a necklace from his neck. The necklace emitted a soft and gentle green light and seemed to be filled with a strange healing power.
“This is a blessed item given by the God of Aurora to his most devout believers. It contains a miracle healing spell and can save your life at the most critical moment. Moreover, the spell inside is automatically charged and can be used once in a while. It’s the most precious treasure I have.”
Jon’s eyes lit up. Wasn’t the miracle healing spell used by the demon priest when he saved the troll’s life. It was really a good thing.
Jon shrugged at Iris, “If you want to go, then go. But you have to think carefully. If you lose your life, then becoming heir of the family and clergy, all of your efforts will be in vain. I will never really die in this world, so I can go to any dangerous place. But you are different. Not only will you really die, but you are also very vulnerable now.”
Iris immediately replied excitedly, as if she was looking forward to the situation in the cave. “I believe that you will protect me, Sir Jon!”
Jon could not help but grumble in his heart, ‘you really do trust me…’.
“Then let’s go.”, Jon stepped into the cave. Although it was very deep, it was not entirely vertical. Instead, there was a certain slope that allowed people to walk on the walls of the cave.
Iris looked at the pitch-black cave and could not help but feel a little nervous. However, she still hurried to follow Jon.
After moving down for a distance, the light could not enter. As an elemental creature, Jon was not afraid of the dark environment and could see everything clearly. Iris, on the other hand, could not. She held a glowing gem in her hand, a faint white light was emitted from it, allowing her to see the path under her feet clearly.
The white light spilled out from the gem and slowly disappeared into the surrounding darkness. It looked as if the darkness had eaten the light.
The sense of danger brought by the environment allowed Iris to follow closely behind Jon. The distance between the two was so close that Iris was almost on Jon’s back. Jon gave off a faint sense of coldness, but it gave Iris a great sense of security.
While walking, Jon glanced at his data panel and found that he had accumulated quite a number of level fragments. Considering the dangerous situation in the cave, Jon decided to level up a little.
“Level up!”
Jon conveyed his wishes to the system.
“Ding, cost 50,000 pieces level fragments, successfully leveled up to level 16. Level Up, you have received a chance to draw a skill. Do you want to draw it immediately?”
“Description, the chance can only be kept for 24 hours. Please use it as soon as possible.”
“Draw it immediately.”
Jon chose to use this chance immediately.
The virtual screen opened. It showed an image of a horse racing machine that could be seen everywhere on the street. However, the slots on the horse racing machine that represented the prizes were all blank. Yellow dots of light swam across the screen and finally stopped on one of the slots.
The horse racing machine disappeared from the virtual screen, then, a line of words popped up on the screen:
The lucky draw has been completed. Congratulations on drawing the skill [ Ice Snipe ] .
[ Ice Snipe: Accurately snipe an enemy from a very long distance. Kills enemies from thousands of miles away. ]
“Continue to level up!”
Jon still had plenty of level fragments, so he chose to continue leveling up.
“Ding, cost 60,000 pieces level fragments, successfully leveled up to level 16. Level Up, you have received a chance to draw a skill. Do you wish to draw immediately?”
“Ding, cost 70,000 pieces level fragments. successfully leveled up to level 16. Level Up, you have received a skill lottery draw. Do you wish to draw immediately?”
…
“Ding, cost 140,000 pieces level fragments. successfully leveled up to level 16. Level Up, you have received a skill lottery draw. Do you wish to draw immediately?”
[ Description: This chance can only be kept for 24 hours. Please use it as soon as possible. ]
“Draw it immediately.”
Jon chose to use this chance immediately.
The virtual screen opened. It showed an image of a horse-racing machine that could be seen everywhere on the street. However, the slots on the horse-racing machine that represented the prizes were all blank. Yellow dots of light swam across the screen and finally stopped on one of the slots.
The horse-racing machine disappeared from the virtual screen,
then, a line of words popped up on the screen:
The lucky draw has been completed. Congratulations on drawing a skill enhancement point.
He leveled up seven levels in a row and only drew a new skill. He drew six skill enhancement points.
Jon strengthened all the skills that had not been strengthened. There were four skills that had not been strengthened. [ Ice Shield ] , [ Frost Warrior ] , [ Four Aura Seal ] , [ Battle Aura Frozen Wings ], the other skill was the [ Ice Snipe ] that he had just drawn.
After being strengthened once, he could summon two frost warriors. The skill that was originally useless seemed to have become useful again.
And the [ Ice Snipe ] skill was the luckiest among Jon’s skills. It could be strengthened right after being drawn. Some things were life. The [ Ice Shield ] was the original Mystic Water Shield. After following Jon for so long, there was no chance for it to be strengthened, and the Ice Snipe was at the intermediate level.
Ha.
