Chapter 483: Fluttering Snow Alliance
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
By the time Li Yi woke up, it was the afternoon.
Breakfast was long ready and waiting on the table.
After was.h.i.+ng his face and having his meal, Li Yi sat in front of the computer to browse the Pantheon web on the latest updates.
The annual Fis.h.i.+ng Grand Prix has soon begun and although the prize this year did not pique Li Yi’s interest, he clearly remembered that Pantheon’s strongest guild, Fluttering Snow Alliance officially entered the game at the start of the second annual Fis.h.i.+ng Grand Prix.
a.s.sembled G.o.ds, Legendary Tribe, Fluttering Snow Alliance, a.s.sa.s.sins Alliance… These guilds were the strongest in the later stage of King of Pantheon. The extraordinary guilds established in the early stages paled in comparison against them.
a.s.sembled G.o.ds belonged to the Southern Continent camp while Legendary Tribe belonged to the Western Continent. Fluttering Snow Alliance was special as they were not restricted to any camps. Their members spread out through the three camps and in each camp, was an individual guild. These three subsidiary guilds have their own administration and their own Guild Master. However, above these three Guild Masters was a mysterious highest leader, administering all of Fluttering Snow Alliance’s upper echelons.
In the early phase of the game, n.o.body paid attention to Fluttering Snow Alliance until they came to prominence but they rose up at a fairly quick rate and in a mere six months, they possessed the capabilities to stand against other long-standing guilds.
In the past life, Arthur of the Southern Continent was a prominent figure. He ruled as a King for almost eight years and could be considered the longest serving King in King of Pantheon. However, most people did not know that there was a hidden agenda and that was Arthur secretly greasing Fluttering Snow Alliance’s palms every month or else the throne would long be taken away from him.
Queen Night Moon of the Western Continent was also almighty but because she did not give two f*cks about Fluttering Snow Alliance, she was plotted against and soon her throne was seized from her shortly after her coronation.
With Three Major Guild Alliance developing to over thirty million members, Defiantly Tyrannical of the Eastern Continent applied to seize the throne every month yet after eight whole years, he failed to become King. This partly was due to the resistance coming from Fluttering Snow Alliance.
In King of Pantheon, Fluttering Snow Alliance was an impenetrable, omnipresent, and influential organization.
There was bound to be conflict in a game between people. In King of Pantheon, this rule was constantly proven. With Iron Alliance currently in a full flush of success and Fluttering Snow Alliance making its mark, would they mind their own business and leave each other alone?
Defiantly Tyrannical never bowed down to Li Yi, let alone Fluttering Snow Alliance. Even when Iron Alliance almost scattered his guild, he still persisted on.
Li Yi could not find any posts related to Fluttering Snow Alliance in the forums. All he saw was a bunch of players down on their luck yelping about enhancing their cla.s.ses.
Li Yi logged onto the game, and first contacted Chen Lang, giving him names to investigate.
“Investigate them and it’s best if you could follow the clues to find out about all those linked to them.”
“Scholar, Don’t Know Who, Forget Loneliness, Raining Wretched Gorge, Faded Cloud Breeze… I vaguely remember these people but they’re not high stake players nor are they in the same guild. They don’t seem to have any relation with one another…”
“Yeah, they not really in contact but I accidentally b.u.mped into them in the wild once. They seemed to be in a meeting.”
“Meeting?”
Li Yi did not provide further explanation, “Go, you’ll understand when you look into it.”
“Okay, I’ll check it out now.”
Chen Lang went ahead to investigate while Li Yi took out the Divine Looking Gla.s.s and inputted the names buried in his memory to check their attributes and levels.
The names he inputted were all elites of Fluttering Snow Alliance from his memory.
Li Yi checked on his friends online and sent Milk Dipper Solitary a voice message.
“Incoming mission!”
“Celestial Capital!” Li Yi kept it simple and so did Milk Dipper Solitary. However, he quickly added another message, “Outside!”
The area outside Celestial Capital was huge but to Li Yi, searching the location of a person was a cinch. He entered the name in Divine Looking Gla.s.s and immediately has in his hands, the coordinates of Milk Dipper Solitary.
Teleport!
Outside Celestial Capital, by the sh.o.r.es of a creek, Milk Dipper Solitary was waggling his vicious beast head while reciting a gibberish poem.
“Green green gra.s.s by the river, where n.o.body dares to shower, little sister lifts her head, bye bye birdie departed.”
This poem was something else!
Li Yi was gobsmacked.
“Not bad, not bad, way better than the poem before.”
Although Milk Dipper Solitary wrote gibberish poems, to each his own. There was someone sitting beside him who found it to her liking.
Dressed in pink and puffy adorable like a doll, the girl sitting by Milk Dipper Solitary was none other than Pink Girl!
Milk Dipper Solitary swiped his sleeves to the back, carrying the demeanor of a scholar. It was a shame though, he was playing an Orc so it seemed a little mismatched between the refined demeanor and beastly head.
“Let me introduce you two. This is my friend, Pink Girl and this is my friend, Dark Wing.”
“h.e.l.lo.”
“h.e.l.lo.”
Although Li Yi already knew Pink Girl, he still greeted her in a polite manner.
“Brother Dark, look at this green green little creek, sans ripples and waves, isn’t it lovely?
Li Yi took a huge gulp and stared back at Milk Dipper Solitary with a mounting headache. He mulled over whether he went crazy after ditching Hua Feihua or why else would he be speaking nonsense that did not make sense?
Li Yi took a few glances at Pink Girl and found this chick was staring at Milk Dipper Solitary with heart-shaped eyes. The look on her face said, “I only have eyes for you”.
Li Yi finally got the picture. Milk Dipper Solitary was speaking this gibberish to impress Pink Girl.
Li Yi sent Milk Dipper Solitary a private message with a face of concern, “Everything good with your Savage Tribe?”
“Good, we have 1,558 members and all of them elites among elites.”
Li Yi handed a list to Milk Dipper Solitary.
“This is a death list. Rewards would correspond to the number of kills.”
“No problem!” Milk Dipper Solitary had not even glanced at the list when he agreed to it and stored the list.
“Look, oh how blue is the sky, oh how gentle is the wind, Pink, what do you think…”
“I love it,” Pink Girl held both her hands against her chest, as she reveled in the moment.
Li Yi was utterly speechless.
In the past life, Savage Tribe was one of the best mercenaries who were proficient in contract killing. If one has a grudge against another but unable to defeat them, Savage Tribe could a.s.sist in taking revenge if the price was right. Satisfaction guaranteed.
However, Savage Tribe in the present was playing it low-key. Totaling only to 1,500 members, this number was less by 5,000 from the past life…
“How did you know her?”
“She was lost and b.u.mped into me. We chatted and became friends,” Milk Dipper Solitary replied in a short and simple manner.
“About the list…”
“Pink, I thought of another poem. Let me read it to you, seemed like a creek afar, seemed like a creek near…”
Milk Dipper Solitary gestured an okay sign to Li Yi and started reciting a poem to Pink Girl.
Li Yi helplessly shook his head and teleported away.
Milk Dipper Solitary’s current state was worrying but his head was still clear. He had his men on it in the afternoon after Li Yi handed him the list at noon.
The a.s.sa.s.sination has begun!
Those Li Yi had Chen Lang dig into were the same people on the list he handed to Milk Dipper Solitary. They were all elites of Fluttering Snow Alliance.
There were many events in this life moving off-track from the past life. The Fis.h.i.+ng Grand Prix has begun but Fluttering Snow Alliance has yet to officially make its announcement in the game. This was rather unusual.
Li Yi could not wait any longer and since Fluttering Snow Alliance was making a move, he would be that force to make them move!
Li Yi really held a grudge against this organization. He must have been killed more than ten thousand times in the past life and more than half came from Fluttering Snow Alliance.
The reason they did so was killing a cheater.
This reason made sense but the problem was, Li Yi was in a relations.h.i.+p with Lin Qian at that time and has been cleaned for more than a year so raising that flag really had him down.
Of course, this was part of it. There was another thing which Li Yi still could not wrap his head around and that was Fluttering Snow Alliance discrediting him. He swindled only those who ruffled his feathers but Fluttering Snow Alliance kept spicing up his dark past. Not only were they calling him a despicable and ruthless cheater of extrinsic value, apparently he cheated women too, impregnating at least 50 female players…
Li Yi and Lin Qian were in a relations.h.i.+p at that time and although Lin Qian trusted him, Li Yi did not feel good about the whole ordeal. He found it hard to understand why Fluttering Snow Alliance was picking on him.
The hards.h.i.+p in facing the all-powerful Fluttering Snow Alliance alone, only Li Yi knew.
Li Yi started to deliver counterattacks. He did not have many friends and although he attempted a few a.s.sa.s.sinations, he succeeded in none and in turn, got himself killed multiple times. Of course, he must return the favor no matter what. He was not an expert in PK but in cheating, so… he cheated the Guild Master of Fluttering Snow Alliance’s subsidiary guild in the Eastern Continent, his wife, before setting his sights on more of them…
“In an era where ‘It Was Me’ ran amok, Cheater, Dark Wing couldn’t hold back and finally made his move again” was a t.i.tle of an article in Pantheon’s forums.
Li Yi may have taken his revenge on Fluttering Snow Alliance in the past life but alas, there could only be one man standing. With Fluttering Snow Alliance due to make its announcement in Pantheon, it was better to nip them in the bud.
Having Savage Tribe sneak up on them was a probe at Fluttering Snow Alliance’s reaction. Li Yi was going to go big!
Soon, Milk Dipper Solitary informed that the 500 Orc a.s.sa.s.sins sent out by Savage Tribe only completed ten a.s.sa.s.sinations while the rest were wiped out..
