Chapter 421: Sera's Friendship!
Su Bai had just exited the virtual conference room when Gray Serra called him on video.
"Hahaha, Su Bai, I'm here!"
As soon as the video was connected, Sera's wild and heroic voice was heard.
Sera in the video still looked like a blacksmith, but the feeling she gave Su Bai was a little different.
Although he looked a little tired, he was in high spirits and his expression was very cheerful while he spoke.
"How is it? What are the preferential policies that Gray City has opened to Blue Star?"
Saira said as if to take credit: "I argued with those old guys for several days to get the best discount for Blue Star!"
"Even the night elves who are allied with the dwarves cannot enjoy such a big discount in Gray City."
Su Bai smiled and said, "I've seen the preferential policies, they're pretty good, thank you for your trouble!"
Even though Sera took over as Lord of Gray City, he was only an acting Lord after all, and a new Lord, with issues regarding his bloodline.
Logically speaking, if we want to arrange preferential policies for Blue Star, we have to wait until she has established a firm foothold in the dwarf tribe.
She had just inherited the position of city lord and had already vigorously promoted preferential policies for Blue Star. The obstacles she encountered must have been greater than Su Bai had imagined.
Saira laughed and waved her hand, saying, "That's nothing. Originally, I wanted to supply you with a batch of high-quality weapons every year, but unfortunately those old stubborn people united to oppose it and even threatened to kill me. There's nothing I can do. I'll think of a solution after this matter."
After saying this, she showed a hint of embarrassment:
"Speaking of which, these things are still far inferior to the help you gave me."
Su Bai was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean?"
Saira also tilted her head and asked in surprise: "Don't you know yet?"
"Know what?"
Su Bai was even more confused.
Saira slapped her forehead and said, "That's right, that old guy probably wanted to make friends with you through me, so he didn't tell you about this."
Seeing Su Bai's increasingly confused expression, she continued:
"Some time ago, you participated in the Barbarian Blood Tribe's secret trial. In fact, many kings were watching your battle live at that time."
"They were astounded by your performance in there, and the one from our clan was among them."
"So, you know what I did! Later, I was elected as a senior and had the opportunity to compete with Crofts. It was all his secret instructions."
Su Bai suddenly realized: "So that's it..."
The "that person" that Sera mentioned is naturally the king of the dwarves.
He smiled and said, "Even if I was partly responsible, you still won the competition with your own strength. Otherwise, I think even the Dwarf King would not be able to overcome all objections and allow you to enter the Dwarf Elders Council."
Sera said proudly, "Of course. That old fellow Crofts has been stuck at the pseudo-god level for many years. He has occupied such a large piece of fat meat in Gray City. He has consumed countless top-level materials but still cannot be promoted to the god level. It can be imagined that talent is limited after all."
"I am destined to become a god-level blacksmith in the future. Isn't it easy to beat him?"
She stuck out her tongue again and said, "But, I still have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I might not be able to keep the [Blue Flame True Iron] even if I got it, let alone join the Elders' Council."
In fact, it was the same in the previous life.
When Su Bai helped Sera retake Gray City, he also used his identity as a [Hero].
Although he did not take direct action this time, he was still indirectly helping Sira, and the progress was even faster than in his previous life .
Su Bai remembered that in his previous life, Sera entered the Council of Elders only after he was promoted to a god-level blacksmith, becoming the youngest dwarf elder.
As he climbed higher and higher in the tower, Sera's status in the dwarf tribe became higher and higher, and finally even the old dwarf king voluntarily abdicated.
However, Sera's personality was that of a natural freedom lover, and she ended up only serving as the highest-ranking honor elder in the clan. She even resigned from the position of Lord of Gray City and became Su Bai's exclusive blacksmith.
Su Bai smiled and said, "If you really want to thank me, then help me forge the [Lone Hero] in the future."
Saira patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of your weapons from now on!"
"Hey, I've recently collected a large amount of high-quality materials. Send the Lone Hero over to me later, and I'll help you with it."
After Su Bai nodded in agreement, she continued, "By the way, Endless Continent has been in turmoil recently. If Blue Star players have nothing to do, they should try not to travel around and just focus on 'development'."
Su Bai raised his eyebrows: "What happened again?"
Saira said, "Eh? Haven't you heard? Because of the [Space-Time Rift] incident, the Scourge has recently become active again in the Endless Continent. More than 50% of the races in the Alliance have been harassed by them, and suffered heavy losses. Now the top leaders of the Alliance are having a headache over this matter."
The Scourge again?
Su Bai's heart sank.
The Scourge moved faster than he had imagined.
Speaking of which, in the early days of climbing the tower in his previous life, he rarely heard the name of the Scourge.
Even if there are occasional cases, it is only one or two fanatical believers causing trouble.
At present, he has not yet conquered the upper levels of the Tower of God, but the actions of the Scourge against the Alliance are becoming more and more frequent.
There are obvious discrepancies with the timeline he had experienced before.
But on second thought, he entered the Tower of God in the tenth season in this life, which was different from the situation in his previous life.
The same thing happened with the main mission in Lim City before. The non-staff believer of the Scourge was several times stronger than before, forcing him to take action in the end to resolve it.
"Oh, by the way, isn't your Blue Planet being harassed by the Scourge?"
Sera suddenly asked: "If you need support, just let me know. I have a private army from the City Lord's Mansion that can be sent to Blue Star for support."
Su Bai shook his head and said, "No, the [Space-Time Rift] on Blue Star is not very dangerous, and the internally organized guard team can handle it."
"Also, there is no invasion from the Scourge at the moment, so it is relatively safe."
Saira nodded: "That's right, you are a new race, and a low-ranking race, the Scourge may not be interested in your territory."
"That's good too. At least Blue Star is relatively safe for the time being."
"Anyway, if you need help, just ask. I will help you if I can!"
Su Bai smiled, and suddenly remembered how cold Sera was when he met her a few months ago.
Once this guy decides who is her friend, he will be loyal to her.
When it comes to friends, there is no one more sincere than Sylla.
This is also the reason why Su Bai dared to give large amounts of rare materials to the other party at the beginning.
Because he knew that the other party would never cheat him of his materials.
Just like the [Lone Hero] in his hand, in addition to the materials that Su Bai brought with him, Sera also filled it with a lot of rare goods.
And the other party never asked him for forging fees.
You have to know that at that time, Sira had not yet become the acting city lord. He was just a small blacksmith who was about to be driven out of Gray City and had little money in his pocket.
It was like this then, and it is still the same now.
