Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
“St. Dulan, these a.s.sa.s.sins…?”
“Don’t mind them now!” St. Dulan said in a cold voice.
Their top priority was to find out the background of the a.s.sa.s.sin who killed Moody’s figure projection and those a.s.sa.s.sins who wore grand hooded-robes!
Obviously, these a.s.sa.s.sins were totally different from the a.s.sa.s.sins they had captured and prisoned!
According to the information that they had received from Grey Eagle City, these a.s.sa.s.sins could move freely in the anti-air arrays. Things like magic traps, scouts, and guards were ineffective against them. They even killed soldiers who were strengthened by G.o.dly spells. How could a.s.sa.s.sins become so powerful?!
“The other thing…” St. Dulan said, “Don’t set up anti-mage realms again.”
They could still use anti-air magic arrays and magic traps. After all, there weren’t only those a.s.sa.s.sins who wore white hooded robes; there was also the Underground Council.
However, if they set up the anti-mage realm, they wouldn’t be able to escape if they encountered the white-robed a.s.sa.s.sins.
“Inform Cesare that these a.s.sa.s.sins will probably go and break free the captured a.s.sa.s.sins imprisoned in Stan Nation. He must be on guard!”
“Besides… send more forces to him from the G.o.dly Palace!”
Without a better solution, Dulan had no choice but to add more manpower.
…
– Meanwhile, in the new shop of Origins Internet Club –
“Uh? Sir, what’s happening with you guys?” The sensitive elves such as Sala found that Mr. Fang had a friendlier relations.h.i.+p with Elina, Harrison, and the others.
These players were eating instant noodles with Mr. Fang while chatting and laughing.
They even treated Mr. Fang to instant noodles! How come I feel like I missed something interesting? Elf Girl Sala looked at them in suspicion.
“Um? How come you guys are sitting here together today?” Commander Elven joined them with some knights that were also holding instant noodles in their hands.
Did anything interesting happen today?
“I say… did you guys hear about the incident in Grey Eagle City?” Oblivious to what happened, Commander Elven ate instant noodles and said, “According to the rumors which spread all over the place, they tried to execute the a.s.sa.s.sins but it ended in a pathetic failure.”
“It’s said that the a.s.sa.s.sins even spread the rumors about the collusion between the G.o.dly Palace and the count of Grey Eagle City. I wonder if it’s true…”
“I have a relative living there. The rumors are probably true!”
“The civilians in Grey Eagle City are saying that the a.s.sa.s.sins freed the city… Otherwise, no one would have found out these schemes of that count who fooled his superiors and subordinates in a long time.”
“Didn’t they say… many people died there?” Helen asked with a frown, “It’s said that Grey Eagle City was full of corpses.”
“They are all Count Savon’s personal guards as well as the knights and mages of the Judgement G.o.dly Palace. The others didn’t get hurt,” one knight told her in a low voice.
“My goodness… when did the a.s.sa.s.sins begin doing things so cleanly and fairly?”
[First, stay your blade from the flesh of an innocent.] This was the first tenet of the Brotherhood, and the a.s.sa.s.sins all kept it in mind.
Each profession had its own code of conduct. The creed of ‘nothing is true; everything is permitted’ didn’t give them the excuse to do anything they wanted. Altair understood this creed and pa.s.sed it down to other a.s.sa.s.sins, and the latter had respected and followed it.
“But… I heard that the a.s.sa.s.sins mostly wear white robes with hoods?” Merlin joined the conversation on the side.
“White robes…?” The elves exchanged a look.
“Hoods?” The knights and mercenaries looked at each other as well.
Their faces all twitched as they thought, Did a brotherhood go there to do it?! But…
“No matter who did it, I only want to say…” Commander Elven slapped his thigh and said, “Well done!”
Meanwhile, the a.s.sa.s.sins sitting near him looked at each other with a smile, hiding their ident.i.ties and glories.
“Slurp! Slurp!” They even found instant noodles more delicious than ever.
…
“Today, we can play the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 4 again, right?” Commander Elven said while eating instant noodles.
Due to his theory of training in mystical realms, Commander Elven had decreased the time of training in the real world and set aside more time for training in the mystical realms.
Today, they would continue playing this new game!
While they played it, they would know more about this strange ‘East Continent’.
Besides, they hadn’t seen the sword control technique yet! They had been waiting!
Yesterday, the a.s.sa.s.sins had gone to rescue prisoners in the morning and returned to the shop quite late, so they didn’t know what the elves had played.
Today, they watched from behind in puzzlement.
“Who is she? She’s so beautiful!” They watched the beautiful woman beside Yun Tianhe and exclaimed.
“This is Liu Mengli, the daughter of Uncle Liu.” Obviously, the elves had toured many places and experienced many events with Liu Mengli and Han Lingsha, including the miraculous and strange Niuluo Rock, the gloomy and deep Royal Tomb of Huainan, and the sad love story of Qin Ji.
The players experienced the different hidden places and events in the world and got familiar with everyone. Everything about the game was moving.
“I’m telling you guys that this game is super fun.” While playing the game, Sala said smugly, “Yesterday, we experienced a lot of stuff, met many people, and heard many stories. Hu… I wonder how the master created this mystical realm. I feel like I’ve travelled all over the world.”
“We’re forming a group to play the game!” Helen asked, “Do you guys want to join me?”
“Can you take me?” One knight immediately lifted his hand.
“No way! Isn’t it great to play with Commander Elven!”
“How can we group with Commander Elven?” At this moment, Murong Ziying hadn’t shown up yet. The knights all looked sulky since they couldn’t play as the two female characters, Han Lingsha and Liu Mengli, and thus couldn’t play the game in a group.
“Hey! We’re friends. Can you let me join you?”
“Haha! No!” Helens said with a laugh, “No position available!”
“Puchi-!” The a.s.sa.s.sins who were watching laughed too.
“Hey! Come here!” Mercenary Crete yelled, “When Murong Ziying joins the team, two male players can play together! Do you want to join me?”
“Oh… Really? Wait for me!”
“Hurry with your game! Hurry!”
The Legend of the Sword and Fairy 4 was a story about looking for immortals. The characters traveled from Green Bird Peak to Chen State and experienced many things, but their purpose didn’t change. Finally, they encountered Huai Shuo and Xuan Ji who had followed Murong Ziying in Chen State.
“When in the sky, don’t harbor any irrelevant thoughts, or you’ll fall!” On the screen, Xuan Ji said while laughing.
“Ya-!” With a scream, someone yelled, “I’m flying!”
“I’m flying while standing on the sword as well!” several knights cheered.
Although it was Huai Shuo who was commanding Yun Tianhe’s w.a.n.gshu Sword with the sword control technique.
“Is this fun?” The a.s.sa.s.sins watched them play and felt tempted.
“It’s more than fun!” Sala yelled, “It’s thrilling!”
“Ahh-! So thrilling!” The knights yelled in the shop.
“Too fast-!”
“So high-! Don’t fall!” With two people standing on a slim sword, it looked obviously more dangerous than riding on a mount. The audience exclaimed repeatedly.
