As the chairman of the White City Reclasser Association, Lucien was one of the most experienced professionals in the small city of The White City.
However, when he saw the Epic Demon's Heart in Aiden's hand, he was completely shocked.
Lucien's lips trembled, and his eyes were only on that precious heart. He almost tripped over the sofa beside him.
Aiden saw Lucien's reaction and said curiously."It's just a Demon's Heart, why are you so excited?"
"Excited! This is an Epic Demon's Heart!" Lucien's voice trembled, and he struggled to stop himself from taking the Demon's Heart from Aiden's hand.
He took a deep breath and sat on the sofa, but his eyes never left Aiden's hand.
"The Abyss is bigger than millions of Earths. Even the territory of the demons in the Abyss, we have not yet fully understood its shape."
"Normally, to kill an Epic-level demon from the Abyss, a great price must be paid. Especially for demons that reach the Viscount rank, they will release a curse before they die."
"A Reclasser who carries a demon's curse will face direct pursuit by demon masters if they enter the demon territory in the Abyss again."
At this point, Aiden suddenly understood.
For example, he had killed the Flame Demon Oslu and was cursed by a demon. Now, if he went back to the Abyss, all the Arcanum Cities nearby would chase and kill him.
Normally, a high-level Reclasser would not choose to kill a noble demon of Viscount rank or higher unless it was absolutely necessary.
Each Epic Demon's Heart meant that a high-level Reclasser was now carrying a demon's curse.
No wonder Lucien reacted that way when he saw the Demon's Heart in Aiden's hand.
It seemed that the value of the Demon's Heart was even higher than Aiden had thought.
Of course, this only applied to other Reclassers. After all, Aiden now had a total of one thousand Epic Demon's Hearts on him!
"What's the best way to use this thing?" Aiden asked.
Lucien tried to pull his eyes away. In his mind, only someone like Aiden, from a top-tier family, could have such a precious Epic Demon's Heart.
Lucien answered."If you just eat it, you'll lose some power. Usually, you need to find a Reclasser with a profession like [alchemist] to make it into a professional-tier enhancement potion."
As soon as he finished speaking, Aiden immediately opened his mouth and took a bite of the Epic Demon's Heart.
It was sour, with a little sweetness. It melted in his mouth like a ripe fruit. It wasn't as bad as he had expected.
After a few bites, Aiden saw a message appear before his eyes.
[You used an Epic Demon's Heart. The probability of professional-tier improvement during Class Change increases by 45%. Current probability: 45.05%.]
When Aiden saw the 45.05% chance, he was taken aback.
So if he didn't use this Epic Demon's Heart, the chance of improving from Magic Apprentice to Iron Rank professional tier was only 0.05%?
That was incredibly low!
Thankfully, he had the 10,000x critical hit system.
"Such a waste, Mr. Aiden. This is an Epic Demon's Heart. You should make it into a potion first, then use it, so you can get the full effect!" Lucien quickly said, looking very upset.
Any Reclasser who saw this would have the same expression.
There was no other reason—Epic Demon's Hearts were just too precious and too rare.
Then, just after Lucien finished speaking, Aiden's next action completely shut him up.
He took out another Epic Demon's Heart and started biting into it again.
Lucien's mouth dropped open, and he went into a daze.
It's not just one Demon's Heart after all!
No wonder, no wonder Aiden's expression had always been so calm, showing no sign of excitement at all.
This was the depth of a top-tier family, wasn't it? Such a precious Epic Demon's Heart, and he had two of them.
As soon as Lucien had this thought in his mind, he saw Aiden take out a third Epic Demon's Heart.
He was completely stunned.
It was like seeing someone's dream car, only for it to be just a toy to a rich second-generation kid.
Lucien couldn't help but close his eyes.
If he had just one Epic Demon's Heart, he was pretty sure he could raise his [Dragon Knight] profession from Diamond Rank to Starlight Rank in his next Class Change.
Improving the professional tier was something every Reclasser dreamed of!
"By the way, if you eat too much of this stuff, is there any bad effect?" Aiden stopped and asked.
Lucien shook his head. "Probably not. After all, almost no one could eat it like you, as if it were fruit."
Aiden looked satisfied as the probability of improving his professional tier reached 100%.
He thought for a moment and decided to go to a hotel outside to absorb the Profession Badge.
Plus, he needed to rest a bit.
But before that, he still needed to talk to Lucien about some things.
Aiden briefly explained the problem with the Dragonlight Guild.
He had thought there might be some trouble, but Lucien didn't hesitate at all—he just nodded and agreed.
"However, Mr. Aiden, can I ask... how did the Dragonlight Guild get on your bad side?"
"They'll definitely come to your place to ask for an explanation." Lucien asked carefully.
Aiden just mentioned the name Kael.
Lucien suddenly understood. Kael's reputation was really bad. He relied on being an Epic Reclasser Paladin and the Dragonlight Guild, acting very arrogant.
It wasn't a big deal to annoy other people in The White City.
But this time, he had messed with Mr. Aiden. That was just asking for trouble.
As Lucien was thinking this, he heard Aiden say."Thanks. Once everything is settled, I'll give you one of the Epic Demon's Hearts as a gift."
Lucien suddenly looked up, his eyes wide open.
There's more?
How many Epic Demon's Hearts does Mr. Aiden even have?
Lucien swallowed hard and said seriously."As long as I'm here, the Dragonlight Guild won't get a single penny back!"
"In The White City, whoever dares to offend Mr. Aiden, becomes my enemy!"
Aiden nodded in satisfaction. Before the College Testing, he would still be in The White City. With Lucien's help, he could avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
One Epic Demon's Heart? He had so many, he wouldn't even feel it if he lost a few.
As Aiden was about to reach the door, he suddenly remembered something and slapped his forehead.
"Oh, one more thing. I killed a national-class red-flagged boss in the Abyss. Its name was the Flame Demon Oslu."
"The log said I need to go to the headquarters of the Sovereign City Reclasser Association to claim the reward. It's too troublesome."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lucien, who hadn't fully calmed down yet, almost fell off the sofa.
National-class red-flagged boss?
National-class?
At the very least, it had to be level 40 to be put on the national wanted list.
Lucien turned away from Aiden, pinched his face hard, and then turned around and said."I'll handle that too. The mayor is in the Sovereign City, I can have him collect it for you."
"Please go slowly."
Lucien watched Aiden's back disappearing, and his lips slowly curled into a smile. He couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hahaha! Epic Demon's Heart, the reward from a national-class red-flagged boss, hahaha!"
"Now I can not only improve my professional tier, but I might even get transferred to a bigger place!"
Aiden was a Reclasser from The White City. Killing a national-class red-flagged boss was a big deal. As the head of The White City Reclasser Association, he could also get some credit from it.
Of course, the mayor of The White City could too.
Lucien could already imagine how excited the mayor, Randy , would be after hearing the news.
But before that, he still needed to take care of the things Aiden had asked him to do.
Lucien picked up the phone, about to call the leader of Dragonlight Guild, when he suddenly noticed someone was calling him.
Lucien's expression turned serious as he answered the phone, nodding repeatedly.
After a while, the call ended, and he finally sighed in relief. He muttered to himself."The Abyss pass, and the vice president of the Sovereign City Reclasser Association is coming to The White City. It's probably related to Mr. Aiden."
"They'll need to prepare an early welcome dinner."
Lucien didn't waste any time. He called the leader of Dragonlight Guild, Ronald.
"Guildmaster Lucien, have there been any updates on the materials?" Ronald's anxious voice came through the phone.
Lucien spoke coldly."Updates? Ronald, your son messed with someone he shouldn't have. You won't get any of the Iron Dragon materials at all!"
