Chapter 1333 - 1333: Mini Guild
"Do you know anything more about that Long Chen? Where is he trapped?" Mimi asked, concerned.
" How would I know? I only heard their fleeting conversation. But if a Heavenly Beast was concerned about it, then it mustn"t be any ordinary place. In any case, I"m sure if anyone could save that Long Chen, it would be that Heavenly Beast."
"Hopefully," Mimi added, sighing.
"He is so strong, after all. I think you fail to grasp the strength of Heavenly Beasts! They are as strong as Heavenly Warriors, at least. Some are even stronger. So whoever that Long Chen is, he"s lucky to have that Heavenly Beast as a friend," the Western Emperor said, talking to his daughter who had long realized which Long Chen they were talking about.
The talking snake gave it away.
Mimi couldn"t understand how things reached to this extent. The last thing she knew about Long Chen was that he destroyed the Dark Tribe in the Northern Empire, and he had saved a lot of women there. After that, he disappeared.
She was still waiting for him, hoping that he would come back to meet her once again, but he didn"t come. And it was only now she found out that he is trapped in someplace?
How could he go on from destroying the Dark Tribe to being trapped in a place which even a Heavenly Beast had a hard time saving him from?
...
The name of Long Chen was troubling all the Emperors as they all wondered who that man was. In the meantime, the Emperors locked themselves inside their Palace, not willing to go out.
The outside was filled with Heavenly Beasts as per the lady. It was better for them to spend time inside their Palace instead of taking the risk of going out.
The Emperors had only self isolated themselves, but there was one person who was actually trapped, against his will.
Long Chen was still inside the prison.
He was taken inside the library by Zia Uzhi.
"A history book of Heaven regarding all the Emperors and their achievements? This can be a good read."
Long Chen picked up a book from the first level of the library as this was the only place they were allowed to enter.
They couldn"t go to higher floors, and this floor only contained theoretical books about history and such. There were no skill manuals on these floors.
There was also a stair in the library which was going up. However, a green barrier was placed in front of the stairs, which was noticed by Long Chen as he walked back with the book he selected.
"Is that a barrier to stop people from going up?"
Zia Uzhi also glanced at the barrier.
"It"s to stop unauthorized people from going up. That is to say; we can"t pa.s.s through the barrier. Only the Inner Prisoners can go up."
"It"s amusing. Most of the things here seem to be handled by barriers. And the rest are automated. I haven"t seen a single Heavenly Warrior so far."
"It"s because barriers are enough to handle most of the things. As for the Heavenly Warriors, there are some inside the prison but not in minor places like libraries and such."
"Then where can I find a Heavenly Warrior? I mean, I still want to explain to him my plight and hope that he can help me! Instead of just a.s.suming that he won"t be able to help, I might as well ask him."
Just as Long Chen finished asking his question, he noticed a man stepping inside the library.
The newly arrived man donned a black robe which looked special. There was also a Flame Symbol on the chest of the black robe. The six foot tall man had spiky black hair.
"Wait, is that a Heavenly Warrior?" Long Chen asked Zia Uzhi, wondering if the newly arrived man was a Heavenly Warrior.
The man appeared strong and dignified. Moreover, his clothing attire was certainly not that of a prisoner.
The black robed man casually glanced in the direction of Long Chen but didn"t focus much. He pa.s.sed through the barrier of the stairs and went up.
"Heavenly Warriors? He wasn"t one. If you want to recognize a Heavenly Warrior, that"s a simple trick. They"ll be wearing s.h.i.+ny golden Armor. If you don"t see a golden Armor, there"s a good chance that the person isn"t a Heavenly Warrior," Zia Uzhi responded.
"So they all wear a Golden Armor?"
Long Chen remembered a vision he had when he was younger. In the vision, he had seen Tian Shen fight people who wore golden armor.
Now that he knew that the memories Tian Shen left for Xue, he was sure that that memory might be fake, but it was confirmed that the people in the golden Armor were what Heavenly Warriors would look like.
They were dressed in a golden Armor. Tian Shen must know about the Heavenly Warriors well since he was so strong. And who knows, maybe he actually fought the Heavenly Warriors?
"Then who was the Black Robed man? Was he another prisoner?"
"That"s right. He"s an Inner Prisoner. That"s why he was able to pa.s.s through the barrier."
"Do all Inner Prisoners wear that black robe? Is it like their dress?"
"Ah, that"s not right. These black robes are like their group uniform."
"Group uniform?"
"From what I heard, the Inner Prison has a number of groups. You can also call them small guilds inside the Inner Prison or Clans."
"As soon as an Outer Prisoner is promoted to the Inner Prison, he can join one of those groups. He can also go solo, but most people prefer joining groups since they have support that way."
"That"s interesting. So this black robe is the uniform of one such club. What"s the advantage of joining a group, though? Didn"t you say that the prisoners don"t bother others? No harm is going solo."
"I"m not entirely sure either, but I heard that joining a guild in the Inner Prisoner is good. Since they can get more resources. Moreover, the smaller prison guilds can also take some missions which give them additional points."
"And I also heard some rumors that some of those missions allow prisoners to leave the prison temporarily. They are accompanied by Heavenly Warriors, but it"s still fun to be able to leave prison and get some fresh air."
As Zia Uzhi talked, Long Chen could feel certain emotions in the voice of his. He was certainly missing the outer world, and he wanted to leave.
"The chance to leave the prison? That can be perfect. I can leave the prison, and then I"ll be able to use Spatial Teleportation without having to expose my Sword!"
