Chapter 169: Chapter 169: The Red Dwarves, Miles Performing Hard
[The Abyss the Flame Demon Staff: Legendary Rank Staff, made from the rib of Demon Duke Ethan, damaged and then repaired by Sean, now fully restored. Spirit +3000, Agility +2000, Extra HP +30,000, Critical Rate +20%, Critical Damage +30%. It has a burning effect and the “King of Flames” effect. It uses a lot of mana, and when you cast fire skills, it causes burning on enemies for 30 seconds, reducing 1% of their HP every second. It ignores both physical and magic defense, and the effects can’t stack.]
[And if you use 20% of your mana and 20% of your HP, you can activate a special effect called “King of Flames.” You become immune to fire-based attacks (except for flames with divine power or some special flames). When you touch fire, you gain 20% HP and 20% mana, your movement speed increases by 100%, and your resistance to negative effects goes up by 30%. This effect lasts for 20 minutes.]
Aiden looked at the Abyss the Flame Demon Staff in his hands and his eyes lit up.
It really is a Legendary Rank staff. It’s way stronger than the Epic Rank Iron Dragon’s Magic Staff.
Both the burning effect and the King of Flames are super useful.
30 seconds of burning, taking away 30% of the enemy’s HP. And it ignores magic and physical defense. Who wouldn’t want that?
“Oh, wait,” Aiden thought, “if I activate the King of Flames effect, then use Shadow Stealth, and just touch a normal fire, wouldn’t that give me a super strong buff?”
After using the Legendary Rank Shadow Stealth, he got 20% mana regen and 150% speed increase in the shadows.
Add that to the King of Flames effect, and now he gets 40% mana regen and 250% speed!
“I feel like I’m more suited to be an Assassin class now,” he said to himself.
Aiden took a deep breath and took off the Iron Dragon’s Magic Staff, then put on the Abyss the Flame Demon Staff.
“How was my work?” Sean said, patting his white beard with pride.
Aiden nodded seriously. The first Artificer of the Great Shaw Empire was not just a title.
“By the way,” Aiden asked quickly, “if you had a lot of Epic Rank materials, could you make a Legendary Rank item? What are the chances?”
He had a lot of Epic Rank materials and didn’t know what to do with them all.
Even Faye ate a lot of Epic Rank materials every day.
And Aiden had Starlight Rank gear on him now. He wanted to get a set of Epic Rank or even Legendary Rank gear.
Sean stopped patting his beard and his eyes suddenly lit up. He said quickly:
“How many Epic Rank materials do you have?”
Before he finished, Lysander softly reminded him: “Teacher, you have to go to the Azurecloud Empire tomorrow, and you won’t be back for a while.”
Sean frowned and sighed.
“Sorry, the Azurecloud Empire is having an Artificer convention soon. I have to go. But you can wait for me to come back.”
“Fixing this Legendary Rank staff really helped me improve. If you’re patient enough, wait a little longer. The chance of making a Legendary Rank item will get even better.”
Aiden sighed and nodded. He couldn’t just force Sean to stay in the Sovereign City to help him craft gear.
“Ugh, if only I could make the items myself,” Aiden suddenly thought.
His job was a Magic Apprentice, not an Artificer. He couldn’t craft gear.
Sean chuckled after hearing Aiden’s words and said,
“Not everyone can become a strong Artificer. Talent, a good teacher, and a lot of experience—none of them can be missing.”
Lysander nodded. He was lucky to have a teacher like Sean.
“Still, if you really want to become an Artificer, there’s actually one way. It’s just really hard.”
Aiden’s eyes lit up. He signaled for Sean to go on.
“There are many races in the Abyss. Among the ones we know, there’s a race called the Red Dwarves. They’re natural crafters. Strong, and they can control fire.”
“If you can earn their approval, you might have a chance to become an Artificer. But before that, you’d better get a second job scroll. Otherwise, you’ll have to give up your current class,” Sean said slowly.
As soon as he finished, Lysander couldn’t help but add:
“The Red Dwarves are not friendly at all. They paint themselves with their enemies’ blood and that’s why they’re called Red Dwarves.”
“And a second job scroll is even more valuable than a Legendary Rank item.”
Aiden wrote down the Red Dwarves and the second job scroll in his mind.
If he could become an Artificer, it would be a great choice.
But right now, the most important thing was to get stronger. He wasn’t planning to spend too much time looking for the Red Dwarves or the scroll.
Sean and Lysander stayed for a while, then left the villa directly.
Aiden looked at the Abyss the Flame Demon Staff in his hands and felt like testing it on a target.
But he could use the Twin Coin luck effect tomorrow, so he decided to wait.
The more important the moment, the more you had to stay calm.
In the villa’s main hall, only Aiden was left. Lia slowly walked out from the corner.
She looked at the staff in Aiden’s hand and her eyes were full of surprise and envy.
This was a Legendary Rank staff. In the whole Great Shaw Empire, besides Aiden, it was hard to find another person with a staff of that rank.
Lia remembered the High-tier materials Aiden had casually thrown to her before. A thought came to her mind.
“There’s probably no one else who has the same charm as Mr. Aiden, the same potential, and so many High-tier gear and materials.”
Lia took a deep breath, adjusted her expression, and spoke to Aiden gently:
“Congratulations, sir. Would you like to celebrate tonight? The chefs have been working on a new dish. You can try it and see how it is.”
Aiden thought for a moment and answered casually, “Not right now. Let’s do it tomorrow night.”
Lia was slightly surprised. Tomorrow night?
Did that mean there was something important tomorrow?
She didn’t ask anything, just nodded and said she would take care of it.
Obedience was what a proper maid should do.
Aiden turned and went into the bedroom to rest for a while.
He had just opened his phone when he saw a video that Zhang Xingzhou sent him.
As soon as he opened the screen, a face that made him feel sick appeared.
Miles was lying in bed, telling a female reporter,
“You’ve all been fooled. The Great Shaw Empire is misleading everyone.”
“If it weren’t for Aiden, Calvin Lord wouldn’t have been hurt by the Three-Headed Serpent, and I wouldn’t still be lying in this bed today!”
“Back then, the situation was critical. My teacher, Sophia, fought bravely against the Three-Headed Serpent. I was trying to find help,” Miles said.
“But Aiden and those Reclassers from the Great Shaw Empire, when they found out about the danger we were in, not only coldly refused to help, but they wouldn’t even let me look for any other rescuers!”
“I swear, Aiden actually attacked me. I can take a lie detector test!”
The scene changed. A professional lie detector expert arrived at Miles’ bedside, carrying his equipment.
“Did Aiden really attack you?” the expert asked after setting up.
Miles nodded firmly, without hesitation. “Yes, he just suddenly attacked me.”
The expert checked the machine and nodded. “He’s not lying.”
He continued, “Was Calvin Lord injured by the Three-Headed Serpent, and did Aiden have something to do with that?”
“Yes!” Miles answered quickly.
“Did the Reclassers from the Great Shaw Empire know about your situation and still refuse to help?” the expert asked.
Miles said, “They didn’t. Absolutely not.”
“And the video the Great Shaw Empire posted online is incomplete. It didn’t show the real cause of what happened.”
The expert nodded to the camera. “He’s telling the truth.”
Then, Miles started his performance.
“As a student of Sophia and a citizen of the Azurecloud Empire, I strongly condemn Aiden and those Reclassers from the Great Shaw Empire.”
“They need to apologize—especially Aiden.”
“People like them, who are cold-blooded, lying, and blaming everything on us, should be punished.”
Miles grew more and more emotional. Tears welled up in his eyes as he talked about how hard it had been, how much he wanted to contribute to the Azurecloud Empire, and how he longed to help the weak.
Now, he was not only suffering physically, but his mind was almost breaking. He was losing the strength to stay good.
“Viewers, you saw it. I’m not lying. I’m telling the truth.”
“Even if I’m slandered and blamed in the future, I’ll keep going, try to be a better person, and contribute more to this world.”
“Also, I just want my justice. Please don’t use online violence.”
“Even if Aiden and his group are despicable, we must keep our morals. That’s what makes us different from them!”
At the end of the video, Miles painfully got up from his bed and bowed deeply to the camera.
After watching the video, Aiden frowned. He had underestimated the depth of Miles’ shamelessness.
This guy was a pro at acting in front of the camera.
Aiden opened TikTok, scrolled a bit, and already found a few videos about the incident.
He found the original video, checked the like count—and it had already reached over five million.
In the comments, everyone was comforting Miles and blaming Aiden and the Great Shaw Empire.
Aiden thought for a moment, then typed a single sentence as a comment.
