Chapter 90 - 90: 090 Bone Scepter
“Damn it!”
Dean McKenzie was so shocked he nearly spit blood.
After struggling to get two silver quality pieces of equipment, they ended up being level 65 equipment.
Isn’t this a waste?
Even if he could appraise the level 65 silver equipment, Dean McKenzie might not be able to use it!
But Dean McKenzie was still a bit unwilling to give up, after casting twenty or thirty skills, he finally managed to determine the usage conditions of the two pieces of equipment.
Third-turn, warrior profession, level 65!
“Beautiful!”
Dean McKenzie’s mindset collapsed on the spot.
He directly tossed the equipment away, yes, to the Land of Bone.
Then he turned his attention to the remaining items.

Effect 3: Attached skill [Bone Strengthening] (used on summoned skeletons, can strengthen the attributes of bone summoning skeletons by fifty percent.)
(Consumes 100 mana, cooldown time 10 minutes)
Seeing the attributes of these two pieces of equipment, Dean McKenzie’s mood improved a lot.
Especially when Dean McKenzie clutched the [Bone Scepter], he discovered that the levels of his [Bone Fang], [Bone Shield], [Bone Prison], and even [Summon Skeleton] had all increased by 1. His mood improved even further.
He was even eager to test his newly acquired weapon right away, but before he had a chance, the system prompt refreshed again.
[Reward settlement complete, you will leave the instance soon!]
A familiar sense of weightlessness came from the system prompt.
By the time Dean McKenzie stood firm again, he had already escaped from the instance.
At the same time, the [Goblin Uprising] Instance Scroll appeared in his hand again, except this time, the [Goblin Uprising] scroll had changed.
Instance Scroll: Goblin Uprising 3
Usage Level: 41
Description: Although it’s still called Goblin Uprising, the content of the instance is unexpectedly not very Goblin-like.
PS: After re-entering the instance, the instance story will continue from where you left off.
Looking at the Instance Scroll’s description, Dean McKenzie’s eyes narrowed.
“Continue the previous story?”
To this end, Dean McKenzie was quite excited.
After all, although he completed the task this time and received an S-level evaluation, the latter half of the instance was actually quite difficult for Dean McKenzie.
He spent a whole month being surrounded and slaughtered.
The pigheads from the Becky family chased him like a dog.
Especially half a month ago, although Dean McKenzie escaped the danger successfully, it was a close shave.
He was nearly left behind there.
This made Dean McKenzie remember the commander of the Becky family who led the attack that time.
And the Pighead Great Swordsman at the other entrance to the Tempest Woods, an almost fatal encounter with the creature for Old Eight.
Dean had recorded all these grudges meticulously.
“The Becky family, isn’t it? The commander, isn’t it? The Great Swordsman, isn’t it? You all just wait for me!”
By the next time he enters, Dean McKenzie would surely have completed the second turn, and his battle power would also have definitely been elevated.
Plus, there’s the Storm Legion in the Tempest Woods.
Dean McKenzie had just come out, and he couldn’t wait to return to the instance to take revenge.
However, before that, Dean McKenzie had to ensure his own safety first.
He withdrew his gaze from the Scroll. As soon as the teleportation ended, Dean McKenzie immediately summoned the Bone Shield and carefully observed his surroundings.
“Boom!”
Dean McKenzie observed in solitude.
He had hardly steered his attention back to the world, a dazzling holy light rushed over, smashing next to Dean McKenzie, blooming like a small sun.
The intense holy light caused Dean McKenzie to sting all over his body.
But regardless of the pain, under the illumination of the holy light, Dean McKenzie felt exceptionally serene.
Because he knew, Anthony had arrived.
Soon, the holy light extinguished, and Anthony, riding a white warhorse, appeared before Dean McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie was not sure what expression Anthony had under the holy light, but after the holy light ended, Anthony looked very relaxed.
He glanced at the scroll in Dean McKenzie’s hand, then looked at Dean’s face and joked: “You are rather unfortunate, kid. You followed the caravan and got mistaken for a merchant and got robbed. Fortunately, you have the instance scroll. Otherwise, you might have been killed by now.
Let’s go, the caravan has left, I have some business in Thorn Oak City. I’ll take you there!”
Ennis Hawkins offered his hand to Dean McKenzie, intending to help him mount the horse.
However, Dean McKenzie didn’t reach out.
“What’s wrong?
You despise me? You don’t want to share a ride with me?”
Dean McKenzie nodded, ”A bit! Two men riding on one horse isn’t as pleasing as a man and a woman. But that’s not the main issue, I suddenly do not feel like going to the Thorn Oak City anymore!”
Having said that, Dean McKenzie sighed: “Anthony, I may not be knowledgeable, but I do have intelligence. How much longer do you plan on keeping me in the dark? Today’s attack was not aimed at the caravan, it was aimed at me.
This much I can be sure of!
That guy attacked only after confirming my identity.
Tell me, was today’s event a continuation of the Bloody Church incident in the past? Have I been targeted by the Bloody Church?”
Upon hearing this, Ennis Hawkins raised his eyebrows, about to say something, but Dean McKenzie interrupted.
“I think I understand why you wanted to send me away, perhaps you meant to protect me.
But as you can see, I’ve just stepped out and I was already attacked. Can you assure me I’ll be absolutely safe once I reach Thorn Oak City?”
Ennis Hawkins was about to say something, but Dean McKenzie interrupted him again: “Of course, I trust you.
So if you insist on me leaving, I will surely not refuse.
But before that happens, I hope you swear to the holy light and sincerely answer me. If I leave like this, will it have any negative impact on you?”
Originally, Dean McKenzie just had an instinctual feeling that something wasn’t right, but after experiencing the “Goblin Rising 2” event, he felt that the situation where Anthony sent him away was familiar, similar to when Princess Pig sent him away previously.
That’s why he was worried.
And with Dean’s words, Anthony fell silent. Therefore, Dean now had his answer – there would be an impact.
Surprisingly, Anthony was forced to throw in the towel with Dean’s persistent questioning.
So, he asked another question seemingly out of the blue: “What is your instance rating this time?”
Dean’s eyes brightened, proudly saying: “S-level!”
“S-level, right? If that’s the case, then let’s go!”
Anthony said, reaching out to Dean McKenzie.
“To where?” Dean asked.
“Back to Spring City!”
