System: A sub-Legendary quest, The Last Knight Order, has been triggered. Players have three minutes to decide whether to accept this quest.
System: If a player accepts the quest, they will gain the favor of Holy Demon Knight Ebagley. Based on quest completion, in addition to the corresponding rewards, favorability can be further increased.
System: If a player fails to complete this quest, all attributes will be permanently reduced by one hundred points, level will drop by five, and reputation with the Ten Saints Empire will decrease by five hundred points.
...
The system notification sounded three times in succession, echoing in Shi Feng's mind for a long while.
"He's Ebagley!" Shi Feng stared in disbelief at the imposing middle-aged man frozen into an ice sculpture before him.
He wasn't surprised by the failure penalty for accepting a sub-Legendary quest. On the contrary, the penalty this quest imposed was quite lenient—other Epic quests might leave you half crippled.
What truly surprised him was the hero's name.
Ebagley!
This was a legendary hero renowned throughout the entire Divine Realm, and moreover, an unparalleled master artisan known to everyone in the previous life—one of only eight master artisans known in all of the Divine Realm.
Whatever Grandmaster Blacksmiths there were, they meant nothing in front of this genius master artisan. He was a figure that every major superpower went crazy over.
The reason for the frenzy was simple: in the Divine Realm, only master artisans could properly craft legendary items. As for players wanting to craft legendary items themselves—that was pure fantasy.
So whenever a master artisan appeared, every major superpower would spare no expense to win their favor, exhausting every possible method to increase favorability.
Because in the Divine Realm, this was the easiest—and the only—way to obtain a legendary item tailored to oneself.
Think about it—a legendary item exclusively one's own!
Even Tier 6 Divine-class players would go mad over such a thing. They wouldn't hesitate to raze an entire kingdom for it, and would be more than willing to do so.
But gaining a master artisan's favor was extraordinarily difficult. Simply encountering one was incredibly lucky, let alone increasing favorability. After all, a master artisan's status was even higher than a kingdom's king—even the War God Temple, standing at the pinnacle of the Divine Realm, had to show some respect.
The difficulty of increasing favorability with such a figure could well be imagined.
Now, Shi Feng hadn't expected that not only could he encounter the legendary master artisan Ebagley here, but simply accepting the quest would increase his favorability. If the major superpowers of his previous life knew about this, they would want him dead.
Without the slightest hesitation, Shi Feng accepted the sub-Legendary quest. Ebagley's favorability immediately increased by 10 points, and in that instant, the entire party received the quest notification at the same time.
"Guild Leader, are we really going to do this sub-Legendary quest?" Hei Zi looked at The Last Knight Order quest with some worry.
When it came to high-level quests in the Divine Realm, the higher-ups of major forces like them already had a thorough understanding—they were no longer newcomers who thought themselves lucky just for receiving an impressive quest.
High rewards meant high risks. In the Divine Realm, too many powerful teams from various factions had taken on high-level quests, failed to complete them through carelessness, and received severe punishments that nearly broke their guilds' teams. Some had even been completely wiped out.
Now, in this dangerous place, receiving a sub-Legendary quest—even though they had reached Tier 3—they still felt short on confidence. If they failed, all the advantages they had accumulated would be gone.
