Seeing that everyone was eager to participate in his plan, with almost no one choosing to leave, Mr. Rogen's face wore a faint smile.

He then waved his hand grandly, announcing that he would personally lead all the professionals who intended to join to the family vault to select equipment. Thus, under the protection of the Mage elder and the Warrior woman standing beside him, he led the way out of the Wild Rose Tavern.

Subsequently, everything happened naturally. Including Wang Zhifan, the NPCs and players in the tavern flowed out in a stream, all following the Baron to receive their rewards.

Since it was Wang Zhifan's first time in Rogge Town, he paid particular attention to the state of this small basin town along the way. He discovered that not only was it many times larger than Lion's Eye Camp, but the business conditions seemed much better. He saw many well-dressed residents curiously watching them pass by on the street, and even the farmers busy in the distant fields seemed to be living well, without the appearance of poor and weary lower-class people.

"Hmm... what's that tall thing over there?"

Suddenly, a player-like person walking ahead of Wang Zhifan pointed to a tall, tower-like, but unfinished black-grey structure in the distance and asked the NPC next to him.

"How should I know? It's my first time in Rogge Town too."

The NPC professional being questioned answered a bit speechlessly but soon thought for a moment and said:

"But it looks like... an altar? Seems to be made of steel... could it be the place the Baron specifically built for holding the great ritual?"

"Hmm... that seems likely."

The player, upon hearing this, immediately had a look of sudden realization. That grand structure didn't look like anything else, and calling it an altar indeed wasn't an issue.

"By the way, brother, I'm quite curious. The Baron said he was going to hold a ritual to pray for the divine presence. Don't you doubt if this will really work? Does the divine truly exist? Will it really eliminate the Demon Tide and save this world?"

This player, seeing that the professional next to him was easy to talk to, opened up the conversation box and asked about the things he was curious and puzzled about.

"Of course the divine exists! How can you ask such a blasphemous question? Are you a non-believer?"

The NPC professional, upon hearing such a question, showed signs of anger on the face. Not only was there anger in his eyes staring at him, but he also reached a hand towards the weapon on his waist.

"No, no, no! I'm not a non-believer! I've just prayed to the divine for years without a response, so I feel a bit confused."

The player, seeing this, quickly defended himself with an embarrassed smile.

"Hmph, a response from the divine is a miracle, which was already extremely rare before the Demon Tide arose and now is unheard of. We can only hope that the holy artifact the Baron mentioned will work, allowing the almighty ones to end these years of disaster."

Hearing this, the NPC professional's attitude softened a bit, while explaining his viewpoint on the previous question—that the divine definitely exists, but it's hard to contact them now, and the Baron's plan this time is an opportunity.

Listening to the conversation around him, Wang Zhifan soon found himself at a door resembling that of a warehouse along with the main group. Then Baron in front ordered the door to be opened and led the group inside.

Upon entering the warehouse, Wang Zhifan saw neatly arranged display racks, with a dazzling array of equipment categorized on them. The level and quantity of these pieces of equipment surprised him.

"My God! Baron, you are so generous! Letting us freely select such high-grade equipment!"

"With this equipment, our mission to the Holy Capital is surely secure!"

"Jesus! They're all Rare level! And there are so many of each kind!"

Upon entering the vault, each NPC professional and player became extraordinarily excited. The reason was simple—they realized that they were truly in a great vault with many types of Rare-level equipment to choose from freely. Moreover, there wasn't only one of each type of equipment; each had at least three identical ones, so there was no worry about not getting a desired piece due to multiple people choosing the same one.

"What level is this dungeon exactly? It's directly giving out Rare-level equipment?"

Unlike others in the warehouse, although Wang Zhifan was equally shocked to see so much Rare-level equipment, he also sensed a bit of anomaly, because based on his understanding, Rare-level equipment wasn't just handed out easily—such treatment usually required overcoming a high-difficulty dungeon.

"Also, although these pieces are all Rare-level, their effects are very similar, all significantly increasing damage to specific monsters. There are some limitations, perhaps customized by some force..."

Although the rare equipment in the vault was diverse and numerous, Wang Zhifan still noticed some issues: the equipment wasn't particularly versatile, and was probably specifically made for slaying monsters. While it might help with the dungeon's mission, in the long run, they might be a bit pointless.
