Chapter 74: Breakthrough, Silver Tier!

Bivis and Bloom stared silently at the few people who had suddenly appeared in front of them.

Bivis gave Bloom a meaningful glance.

Come on, buddy, you’re being modest with me. You found everyone in an instant!

Bloom rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Are you getting old and losing your mind? If I were that powerful, I’d have the Dean’s position by now!

“Uncle Bivis!”

Hilda’s voice sounded next to William, breaking the awkward silence between the few of them.

At this moment, William was somewhat grateful for Hilda’s support. How could he not recognize these two old men in front of him? They were both top-notch powerhouses of the kingdom.

The top-tier Golden Mage, Deputy Commander of the Fis Royal Mage Corps, Odysseus Bloom.

The top-tier Golden Warrior, Commander of the Golden Lion Knight Order, Bivis Milaner.

“Uncle, how come you’re here?”

Although Hilda looked a bit dusty, she probably hadn’t encountered any danger, and she was still in high spirits.

But the same couldn’t be said for the others. Jason, Elena, and Lumbro collapsed on the ground, their faces pale, looking as if they had exhausted all their strength.

Bivis quickly pulled Hilda aside, scrutinizing her from top to bottom. Once he confirmed that Hilda was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

“I received a notification from the nearby lord that there was an anomaly here, so I brought people over to take a look. I didn’t expect to find you here too, little girl.”

Hilda nodded repeatedly after listening, feeling quite lucky to have encountered Uncle Bivis here.

William sneered. Are you trying to deceive a child? The anomaly here is indeed unusual, but mobilizing the kingdom’s strongest warriors along with the sharpest Golden Lion Knight Order and the Deputy Commander of the Royal Mage Corps? They could clear this dungeon ten times over! Obviously, they received a distress message from Jason and rushed to rescue her.

But isn’t this a bit too quick? William felt like he had only been in the dungeon for about a day, and judging by the scale of their arrival, they hadn’t been in the dungeon for even half a day before the Knight Order arrived.

It seems that even without his presence, Hilda and the others would have been safe. The kingdom is really overly concerned.

As William sighed, he absentmindedly touched the little bat, Angela, on his head.

Angela is sleeping in the sun now. Is everything okay?

Just then, William noticed that the old man who had stood with Bivis just now was staring at him, looking a bit strange.

“Vice Dean Bloom, hello.”

You’re here to rescue Hilda, aren’t you? Why are you staring at me?

William felt a bit helpless and could only take the initiative to greet him.

This guy is a real big shot, and I can’t afford to provoke him.

“Are you a student of the Academy?” Bloom became more interested.

“Yes, I’ve been studying at the Academy for seven or eight years.”

“What’s your name?”

“William.”

“Good, good, good job, young man!”

William was suddenly baffled by the praise.

What’s going on? Why is he suddenly praising me? Is it because I rescued Hilda and the others from the tomb?

Just then, Bivis came over with Hilda, nodded towards William, and asked:

“You’re William, right? The little girl said she didn’t know how she got out. Did you do it?”

William nodded, there was no need to hide it. With the eyesight of Bivis and Bloom, they could easily tell if he was lying.

“We seemed to have been teleported to a tomb. The monsters inside were powerful, with the strongest being a Golden-tier Lich, but he lacked self-awareness.”

“I learned about this from Angela here.”

William pointed to the white bat sleeping on his head. With Bivis and Bloom’s keen eyesight, they could naturally see that this was a Golden-tier vampire.

“With her help, I destroyed the Lich’s phylactery, and finally, we used a teleportation array to leave the tomb. Since the tomb no longer had its master’s support, it should have collapsed.”

William briefly recounted the whole thing, attributing most of the credit to Angela, while also slightly concealing the strength of the Lich, making everything seem more logical.

Bivis nodded. He could see that Angela was different from those vampires lurking in the shadows, as her body exuded a pure blood aura without any impurities, indicating that she wouldn’t resort to violence casually.

“Good job, young man, well done. Thanks to you this time, it’s no wonder Duke Harold praised you in front of His Majesty.”

Bivis’s seemingly casual words made William perk up.

Duke Harold? Interesting.

After saying that, Bivis gave some instructions to Hilda and then walked aside to arrange the troops.

Hilda said to William, “William, Uncle Bivis is my mentor. Since I’ve met him, he wants to take me back for some training, so I won’t go back with you guys.”

William nodded. It seemed that the kingdom still didn’t trust Hilda enough; they wanted to take her back to the capital first.

After that, Hilda went to inform Jason and the others.

Jason and the others had just recovered from their exhaustion and naturally had no objections.

The environment here was quite interesting, and Odyesseus intended to organize an expedition here after returning to the academy. He asked William if he had any objections.

Odysseus grinned. This tomb was probably built by a mage no less powerful than himself. Although the ritual to transform the Lich failed, there should still be some valuable things left behind.

William quickly nodded, not daring to express any disagreement.

Come on, big shot, you can do whatever you want. Take me away, I don’t mind!

Moreover, William felt something was off. He couldn’t shake the feeling that Odysseus’s gaze towards him was strange. Wasn’t his attitude too friendly?

Where’s your aloofness, big shot?

Odysseus nodded with a smile and got up to leave with the mages’ entourage.

Still only Bronze Tier, and he’s already become an Arcanist. This kid!

Unexpectedly, there were so many surprises on this trip. Hehe.

Odysseus made up his mind and waved to activate the teleportation array, disappearing in a burst of light.

Phew~

After everyone from the Golden Lion Knight Order and the Mage Corps had left, Hilda followed Bivis back to Canlight City, and William also breathed a sigh of relief. He sat down beside Jason and the others, who were too tired to speak.

Luckily, the camp they had set up before was not destroyed, and there was still a place to rest. William’s nerves, which had been tense in the tomb, finally relaxed.

Seeing that Jason and the others were too tired to speak, William greeted them and walked into the tent to rest.

Although William was also very tired, he still had more important things to do.

He gently lifted Angela from his head and placed her on the soft blanket in the tent. Then, William left the camp and headed towards the forest that had not been cut down.

He wanted to find a quiet place to thoroughly digest and assimilate the gains from this trip.

Sitting down beside a tall tree, William sat cross-legged under the tree, took a deep breath, and prepared himself mentally.

Summoning the system, William looked at the panel and the huge amount of experience he hadn’t dared to think about before. He decisively invested it in leveling up.

[Your personal level has increased: 44→45!]

[You gained +2 Strength, +1 Agility, +2 Intelligence, +1 Charisma, +1 Mystery, +1 Endurance]

[Your personal level has increased: 49→50!]

[You gained +2 Strength, +1 Agility, +2 Intelligence, +1 Charisma, +1 Mystery, +1 Endurance]

[The system detected that the player’s level had reached 50, triggering the Silver Tier breakthrough judgment!]

[Breakthrough judgment (1/3): Main profession level greater than or equal to 50. Judgment passed]

[Breakthrough judgment (2/3): All attributes exceed 50 points. Judgment passed]

[Breakthrough judgment (3/3): Completed the basic profession promotion judgment]

[All judgments passed, do you want to start the promotion to Silver Tier?]

[Yes/No]

William confirmed, and suddenly, a violent energy wave spread from his body to the surroundings, and the wild grass was blown down to the ground by the violent wind.

The promotion has begun!
