"It really works! Just now, I was hesitating in my heart about whether to launch an attack, and a red light shone on me! It seems to see through my thoughts!"

"It's amazing! The Crystal Ball must be imbued with the highest-level Mind Reading Technique!"

"With its help, I feel that going to the Holy Capital isn't impossible."

...

For a moment, the immediate effect of the All-Seeing Crystal made many in the tavern quite excited. The thin man who had earlier been hiding in front of the Baron but had his stealth exposed by it was also intrigued and stepped aside, happening to stand near Wang Zhifan.

"Everyone, you've all witnessed the effect of the All-Seeing Crystal just now. As I said, it is indeed a very powerful treasure, enough to help us enter the Holy Capital Aifilan, find the holy artifact, and complete our grand plan to completely eradicate the Demon Tide! At that moment, the entire continent will remember our immortal achievements!"

Taking advantage of the situation, Mr. Rogen stirred up the heroic ambitions of those around by raising his voice and speaking. Yet, he wasn't finished; after painting a rosy picture in the air, he continued to talk about the actual benefits of completing this task.

"As I mentioned earlier, all warriors who join this plan will receive precious gifts. Now, let me tell you what those gifts are."

"First, I'll cover all expenses to the Holy Capital Aifilan, and I've arranged for carriages to take everyone to the nearest teleportation array, so you won't spend too much time on the road to Aifilan. Once out of the Array, it will take no more than a day to reach there."

"Then, every warrior confirmed to go to the Holy Capital can freely select a piece of Fine Layer equipment from my family's treasury. This will be the first gift I'll give each of you."

"The second gift is that I will grant each of you the noble right to freely collect items in the Holy Capital, before or after finding the holy artifact; all treasures found will belong to the finder, even if it's an heirloom of an old noble family."

"The third gift is that I've contacted a master blacksmith in Frost Harbor. Once you find the holy artifact in the Holy Capital, regardless of the subsequent plan's outcome, the master will forge a treasure piece for each of you! A custom-made treasure piece for every individual!"

As soon as Mr. Rogen finished these words, the tavern was filled with sounds of people gasping in astonishment, especially when he mentioned the master blacksmith from Frost Harbor who agreed to craft custom treasure equipment for them, many faces lit up with excitement.

"Sorry, I'm from a small place. May I ask what treasure equipment is?"

At this moment, a player in a suit curiously asked a nearby NPC, wanting to know why everyone was so excited upon hearing about custom treasure equipment. After all, no text appeared to explain this to him.

"You don't even know treasure equipment? Where did you get your profession inheritance?"

The NPC looked at the suit player with some disdain after hearing his question and then explained:

"Treasure equipment is stronger than fine equipment. Before the Demon Tide, there were fewer than ten people on the entire continent who could make treasure equipment. Now, only the master blacksmith in Frost Harbor has this ability. Each piece of treasure equipment is an heirloom for generations to come! Its wonder isn't much inferior to the All-Seeing Crystal in the Baron's possession!"

"Oh... thank you, I understand now..."

The player in the suit showed obvious excitement after hearing the NPC's explanation because he realized that what they called treasure equipment must be of the Epic Layer. The All-Seeing Crystal, which was briefly shown earlier, was labeled as Epic Layer!

"Tsk tsk... Custom-made Epic Layer equipment, can this dungeon have such great benefits?!"

The suit player nearly couldn't hold back his excitement, thinking about the Epic Layer equipment that even in his dreams he couldn't imagine getting!

Witnessing the excitement of the tavern crowd after hearing his rewards, Mr. Rogen nodded secretly to himself. He needed their fighting spirit; without it, there would be no hope of completing this plan.

After a while, seeing that the emotions of the many professionals had been sufficiently stirred, the Baron continued:

"Ladies and gentlemen! I've already explained my plan to you clearly. Now you must decide whether or not to join! I must clarify, even with the All-Seeing Crystal left by that mysterious entity, entering the Holy Capital Aifilan to find the holy artifact won't be easy. Even if everything goes smoothly, there will be battles with the monsters guarding the holy artifact at the end—casualties are almost unavoidable! If any professional thinks the risk of this great task is too high and doesn't want to participate, you can leave now, and my Rogge Town won't trouble you at all! As for those willing to join this great cause, I'll open the family treasury to them tonight, where they can freely select a piece of Fine Layer equipment!"

"Baron! I'm in!"

"Me too!"

"Isn't it just going to the Holy Capital? I grew up there as a child! It's time to return home!"

"Baron, no need to say more, just take me to the treasury! How could I miss this great plan?"

...

For a while, the professionals in the tavern were jubilant, seemingly having shed their previous fears of the Holy Capital Aifilan, which had been destroyed by the Demon Tide, with no one choosing to leave.

"This so-called great plan of this Mr. Rogen feels pretty unreliable... but getting a free piece of equipment isn't bad, just hoping that his family's treasury doesn't only have Fine Layer equipment."

At this moment, among the crowd, Wang Zhifan also chose not to leave. But this didn't mean he was drawn by the great plan proposed by the Baron. On the contrary, he felt that the task posted by this NPC had many pitfalls, like the kind that isn't exciting unless something goes wrong.

"If something goes wrong in the middle of the plan, I can always bail. With my current strength, self-preservation shouldn't be too difficult. In the worst-case scenario, I'll just use the no-side-effect resurrection chance of the Immortal Deceit Ring, and instantly resurrect in my villa in the real world."

Having grown to this point, Wang Zhifan was no longer the player who had to be cautious in everything. Although he still maintained a cautious mindset, he dared to act when needed, especially with the Immortal Deceit Ring, the Epic Layer life-saving equipment, which naturally made him more fearless than others.
