Necromancer: I Am A Disaster Chapter 28 - Dynasty Guild; Goblin King's Ring

Lin Moyu sat in meditation, his Skeletal Warrior standing guard beside him. At the dungeon entrance, over ten people lingered, yet none dared to approach. The presence of his Skeletal Warrior was too intimidating, striking fear into the hearts of those nearby.

It was better this way—no one would disturb him.

Lin Moyu waited for the cooldown to pass. In 12 hours, he could enter the dungeon again. As he meditated, his spirit force gradually replenished. By the next entry, he would be able to summon four additional Skeletal Warriors.

Night fell, and Lin Moyu finished meditating. His spirit force was nearly restored. At the dungeon entrance, bonfires sprang to life, with groups gathered to roast meat. The aroma filled the air, growing more enticing with added seasonings. These people were seasoned veterans, well-prepared for life in the wilderness. Unlike Lin Moyu, who had only brought some sweet potatoes.

His stomach growled, and he reached for his food, only to realize his sweet potatoes were gone. He recalled giving them all to Ning Yiyi. The thought of her mischievous smile brought a faint grin to his face. Left with little choice, he took out some steamed buns.

“Brother, want to join us?” Someone called out, waving him over. A group was roasting an unknown type of meat, the scent rich and mouthwatering. The speaker was a young man in his twenties, likely a support.

Lin Moyu shook his head, declining politely. The young man didn’t press him and returned to his meal.

“Wang Yi, why did you call him over?” Someone asked.

“Yeah, he’s been weirdly quiet since he got here.” Another added. “Plus, those undead summons by his side are creepy.”

Wang Yi, the young man who called out to Lin Moyu, smiled, “He seems normal to me, just not much of a talker. Besides, he’s never caused trouble. I think you guys are reading him wrong.”

Wang Yi cut off a large chunk of roasted meat, placed it on a plate, and walked over to Lin Moyu, “Brother, have some. You shouldn’t just eat steamed buns.”

Lin Moyu glanced at him but said nothing. Wang Yi smiled warmly, left the plate in front of him, and walked away. After confirming the meat was safe with the Detection spell, Lin Moyu unhurriedly picked up the roasted meant and took a bite. It tasted good.

Wang Yi, back at his bonfire, smiled brightly, a look that reminded Lin Moyu of Gao Yang.

After filling his stomach, Lin Moyu returned to meditation. With the Skeletal Warrior at his side, he felt secure.

Once the 12-hour cooldown ended, Lin Moyu’s spirit force was fully restored. “I should be able to reach level 13 this time.” He thought, standing up.

At the dungeon entrance, a standoff had formed between two groups. One group, dressed in uniform and wielding fine weapons, blocked the dungeon entrance like a trained army. The other group, comprised of those originally outside the dungeon, was larger but disorganized, lacking the imposing presence of their opponents.

"Dynasty Guild is too much."

"Why won’t you let us into the dungeon?"

"Yeah, what gives you the right? The dungeon doesn’t belong to you!"

"Our entering won’t affect you at all!"

Frustrated voices rose from the crowd as class users protested.

A Mage from Dynasty Guild, holding a stave, stepped forward. "Our junior guild leader is on a mission inside. No one may enter until he completes it."

"What does that have to do with us?"

"Your guild is overbearing!"

Though the crowd voiced their anger, no one dared to take action. Dynasty Guild was simply too powerful to challenge. Wang Yi, who had been smiling earlier, now looked furious, his cheerful demeanor replaced by anger.

Lin Moyu approached him, "What’s going on?"

Wang Yi, surprised to hear Lin Moyu speak, leaned in to explain, "The junior guild leader of Dynasty Guild is after something in the dungeon, so they’re blocking everyone from entering."

Lin Moyu’s eyes narrowed in confusion. What mission would require them to seal off the dungeon?

Seeing the confusion in Lin Moyu’s eyes, Wang Yi elaborated, "They’re after the Goblin King’s core. The drop rate is really low. It only appears in the nightmare rank dungeon and drops once every 100 days."

"You’ve probably seen this mission posted at the trade office. It was Dynasty Guild that put it up, but no one has completed it yet."

"Here’s the crazy part—this core is worth at least 300,000 gold coins, but they’re offering just 100,000. No one in their right mind would sell it to them at that price."

"Today marks the 100th day since the last drop, so Dynasty Guild is taking matters into their own hands."

Lin Moyu’s lips curled into a subtle smile. This was quite the coincidence. The Goblin King’s core, gleaming like a ruby, was safely tucked away in his storage space. Dynasty Guild was in for a disappointment.

He had planned to sell the core for 100,000 gold coins in a couple of days, but after listening to Wang Yi, he realized the core was special.

"What exactly is its use?" Lin Moyu asked in a quiet voice.

"Alchemists can process the Goblin King’s core into the Goblin King’s Ring." Wang Yi explained, "It boosts all attributes by 10 and upgrades all skills by one level. It is usable above level 15, and is considered the most powerful accessory for class users below level 40."

Lin Moyu’s interest piqued. The ability to upgrade all skills by one level made the Goblin King’s Ring a coveted item, especially for beginners.

Wang Yi continued, "The junior guild leader of Dynasty Guild is aiming for Xiajing Academy and is determined to get this ring. They already have the other materials; all they need now is the Goblin King’s core."

Lin Moyu chuckled softly and headed toward the dungeon entrance.

Dynasty Guild? He couldn't care less. But if they got in the way of his level grinding, he wouldn't let it slide.
