Realising what he had done, Defiant Tiger broke out in cold sweat.
"That"s me!" w.a.n.g yu nodded.
"Please forgive me… I didn"t realise it was you… The number one expert in the Quan Zhen Sect has always been my idol..." Defiant Tiger sincerely grovelled.
"I can see that!" w.a.n.g Yu lightly laughed. Defiant Tiger"s shameless way of doing things was incredibly similar to how the other members of the Quan Zhen Sect operated as well.
"You better not try and trick me then. Otherwise, I have many ways to make your life worse than death!" w.a.n.g Yu menacingly growled. There truly were quite a few torture techniques in traditional chinese martial arts. For example, breaking bones and snapping ligaments was one of the methods that w.a.n.g Yu"s preferred.
"I… I understand…" Defiant Tiger weakly muttered. He was very clear about the methods of the Quan Zhen Sect. In the past, there was a top guild known as Termination Manor that had been tormented by the Quan Zhen Sect so badly they changed their guild leader four times before finally splitting into three smaller guilds… The top guild in Hurricane City Endless Desert was one of those guilds.
"That"s good then! Oh right I"m sure you"ve read water margin before right? There a story about Iron Bull and a tiger as well! Maybe we are fated in a way." w.a.n.g Yu laughed.
"..."
In water margin, Iron Bull didn"t exactly have a great relations.h.i.+p with the tiger… Was that supposed to be a threat as well?
After realising who w.a.n.g Yu was, Defiant Tiger naturally didn"t dare to play any tricks anymore. He honestly went to complete his quest and then immediately make the traps for w.a.n.g Yu.
After half an hour, Defiant Tiger returned and handed five coin-sized crystals to w.a.n.g Yu.
"There are the traps?" w.a.n.g Yu curiously asked. He had originally imagined that the traps would be about the size of a bear trap.
"It"s a Mystic Snare man. If they were as simple and unrefined as the Archer"s ones then it would have been a disgrace!" Defiant Tiger proudly replied.
Taking the crystals from Defiant Tiger, w.a.n.g Yu inspected them again and the stuffed them into his inventory.
[Mystic Snare]: Immobilises and enemy for 45 seconds and seals skills for 3 minutes.
Although its effectiveness was a far cry from the trap that was used on the Squall Beast and the immobility wasn"t even a tenth of the original duration, w.a.n.g Yu was still very satisfied. w.a.n.g Yu naturally didn"t have any interest in hitting a target that couldn"t retaliate, so what was most important was how long it sealed off skills for.
After separating from Defiant Tiger, w.a.n.g Yu went to a Post Box and sent the Sacred Devil Stone to Yang Nuo. Afterwards, he took an airs.h.i.+p to t.i.tan City.
Although it was called a city, t.i.tan City was barely even a village. It didn"t even have a city wall around it! Along what few roads it had, w.a.n.g Yu saw a few nearly three metre tall NPCs trying to hawk their wares even though there were no players around.
t.i.tan City was incredibly simple and crude in construction and devoid of any other players. In all honesty, even a beginner village was in a better state of affairs than this…
In the origin story of the game, t.i.tans were the descendants of the G.o.d that created the world. However, the creator began to fear the strength of the t.i.tans and "rewarded" them with the territory in the north as thanks for a.s.sisting him in the creation of the world.
Of course, the reason that the G.o.d had done this was because the t.i.tans weren"t good people either. The system didn"t go into detail when talking about it but the issue had something to do with the their marriages. Despite this, the t.i.tan"s strength were undoubtable.
The players in t.i.tan City were few and far between mostly due to the weather. The temperature in t.i.tan CIty was -30 degrees all year round. It was already cold enough in the real world since it was winter so unless players had a quest here, they would even think about coming.
Since there were barely any players, w.a.n.g Yu knew that he wouldn"t be able to find anyone to gather clues about his quest. Thus, he had no choice but to talk to the NPCs.
Although the t.i.tan clan were part of the neutral faction, their relations.h.i.+p with the dragon race wasn"t very good. Because of this, w.a.n.g Yu"s negative familiarity with the dragon race made him a minor celebrity here.
After strolling around the village, w.a.n.g Yu decided to check the smithy first. Since his sub-cla.s.s was related to an ordinary Blacksmith in some ways, he wanted to try out his own forging skills. What"s more, it was a Smithy, so of course there would be fire and warmth…
Entering the Smithy, w.a.n.g Yu saw a topless t.i.tan currently hammering away at a piece of metal.
"h.e.l.lo!" w.a.n.g Yu greeted.
Looking up, the t.i.tan put down his hammer and warmly smiled: "Honourable dragon slayer, how may I help you?"
"Do you know anything about the t.i.tan"s Heart?"
"I"m really sorry but I don"t… Maybe you can try asking Zeus?"
"Zeus? Who"s that?" w.a.n.g Yu asked.
"He"s our leader! His might is matchless..."
"Thanks for your help then!" w.a.n.g Yu replied and turned around to leave.
"Aren"t you going to buy anything?" The t.i.tan asked.
"No… Not really..." w.a.n.g Yu awkwardly replied. When he was walking in, w.a.n.g Yu had already gotten a good look his wares and they were all trash.
"That"s a pity… I"m actually the best blacksmith in t.i.tan City you know..." The t.i.tan sighed.
"If you were in a city, you"d probably only be an apprentice with your level of skill you know..." w.a.n.g Yu laughed.
"It"s not my fault, the hammer"s that people make these days can"t withstand my strength… If I had a good quality hammer then I"d be able to show the true abilities of the t.i.tan race"s refining!"
"Refining?" w.a.n.g Yu gulped and then asked: "What kind of hammer do you need?"
"Zeus has a good hammer with him, can you help me borrow it?"
"So it"s a quest!" w.a.n.g Yu beamed and then immediately accepted it.
