Online game: Space-time Sword God

Abandoned Imperial Capital, Mage Association.

As the players' levels increase, there are now many mage players here. In addition to advancement, they want to complete the association's tasks and learn some advanced skills.

In order to avoid trouble, Xu Xingchen put away the Silver Frost in advance, activated the Void Attack to enter the Mage Association, and went straight to Dylan's office.

Even though he hid his strength, Dylan's apparent identity was still the vice president of the Imperial Capital Mage Association. Ordinary players could not easily see a high-level NPC like him.

Therefore, there was no one in his office. As the office door was pushed open, Dylan stood up and saluted.

"Lord Jiuyuan, you are here."

Xu Xingchen's attack from the void could not hide his figure from Dylan's eyes, so he simply showed up, closed the office door, and turned to look at Dylan.

"Has the Duke of Grey informed you?"

Dylan nodded, but his expression was a little complicated. Although he had decided to follow Jiuyuan, he still felt reluctant when he thought that his strength would be reduced by the will of the world.

However, Dylan did not hesitate too much. He took a deep breath and knelt on one knee in front of Xu Xingchen.

"I am Frostsong - Dylan, and I am willing to follow Lord Jiuyuan until death! From now on, your enemies are my enemies, and wherever your sword points is my direction!"

[System: Frost Song - Dylan swears allegiance to you. Do you agree to let him become your follower? ]

As the system prompt sounded, Xu Xingchen nodded with satisfaction, helped Dylan up with both hands, and said with a smile:

"Get up. Having your strength reduced may not be a bad thing for you. I hope you can use this opportunity to find an opportunity to break through to level 8."

Dylan had a hint of confusion in his eyes when he heard this.

Level 8?

Isn't this the goal I have been longing to achieve for many years?

Isn't the reason why I have remained at level 240 to reach this level?

Although it is possible to break through to level 300 even if you reach level 8, there is a huge gap in strength compared to breaking through to level 240.

Even his own master, Kel'Thuzad, has not yet set foot in this realm.

Do I really have a chance?

Maybe it is really possible to follow Lord Jiuyuan!

Thinking of this, Dylan's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he looked at Xu Xingchen with sharp eyes and said loudly:

"I will definitely live up to your trust!"

[System: Congratulations on successfully recruiting Frost Song——Dylan as a follower. We have detected that his level is far higher than yours and will be lowered soon.]

A white light descended from the sky and enveloped Dylan's body. The latter slowly closed his eyes, and the aura he exuded was rapidly weakening.

Level 240...Level 230...

His level continued to decrease under Xu Xingchen's gaze, and after a while, it was only level 80.

From then on, although he was still an NPC, he could level up by killing monsters and completing quests just like the players.

……

After looking at the skills and equipment that Dylan possessed, Xu Xingchen couldn't help but feel excited.

In my previous life, I never had the permission to recruit followers, but now I finally got what I wanted.

No wonder those masters who were at the top of the Langya List in the previous life were so powerful. The improvement that followers bring to a player is simply too huge!

Especially for someone like Dylan who is already very powerful, he doesn't need Xu Xingchen to train him and can directly possess powerful combat power.

However, when Xu Xingchen's eyes fell on Dylan's health and mana, he couldn't help but frowned.

"How come you are so weak?"

At this time, the white light had dissipated. Dylan felt his own compressed strength and smiled bitterly:

"Your Excellency, my current level is too low to activate the attributes of the equipment."

Xu Xingchen was stunned when he heard this, and then he reacted.

The luxurious equipment on Dylan was all epic, and the level was obviously very high. He estimated that the minimum requirement was above level 200, especially the staff, which was probably a top-grade epic weapon of level 240-300.

No wonder the panel attributes are so low even though the rank hasn't dropped.

"Can you use the Adventer's equipment?"

Since Xu Xingchen had never had any followers in his previous life, he was not very clear about these things and could only ask Dylan.

"It can be used, sir."

Dylan nodded quickly. Upon hearing this, Xu Xingchen opened his backpack, picked out a set of equipment suitable for Dylan and gave it to him.

"These are all we have for now. They are definitely not as good as your original equipment. You can only use them for now and replace them when you have better ones."

This set of equipment is composed of scattered parts, almost all of which are legendary equipment from level 80 to 160, which can allow Dylan to restore some of his strength.

Xu Xingchen was glad that he had cleared the Temple Mountain battlefield twice. There was not much in his backpack now, but these equipments were really a lot.

After all, in those two trips to the battlefield, all the legendary bosses died at his hands.

Dylan was not pretentious. It was normal to be given equipment after becoming a follower. He took it and put it on directly, and the panel changed immediately.

【Frost Song——Dylan】

Level: Level 80, Rank 7 Ice Elemental Mage

Undead

Identity: Follower of Jiuyuan

HP: 14.3 billion

Mana: 128.9 million

……

Although Dylan's new equipment is not matched, they are all suitable for ice elemental mages, so they are not too messy.

Looking at his new panel, Xu Xingchen raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile:

"How is it, to what extent has your strength recovered now?"

Dylan waved his staff, and an ice shield was instantly formed. He said confidently, "Although there is still some gap, it should be no problem to face an initial epic boss of the same level."

Looking at Dylan's expression, Xu Xingchen's heart was shocked.

As expected of an NPC with a title, he can have such combat power with just any set of equipment.

If Dylan could activate the properties of his original equipment now, Xu Xingchen estimated that he would not be his match.

Thinking of this, Xu Xingchen couldn't help but become more excited. Dylan was just his first follower.

And you can recruit 7 such powerful NPCs yourself!

Although it is not easy to recruit beings of this level, Xu Xingchen believes that with his current status and connections in the Spirit Realm, it is not too difficult to gather 8 powerful followers.
