Chapter 118 (1/2)

Chapter 118: Headband of Bravery

Summoning Yao Yao back, Ye Tian Xie took out the Gu Ping Return Scroll and crushed it.

From setting out to complete the simple killing the Undead Monarch Hidden Quest, he never would have thought that so many unbelievable twists and turns would occur.  Killing the Undead Monarch was much easier than he thought, but it also caused the blood coloured phoenix, azure wolf, and the azure haired man to appear.  Then, he was dropped into the Hidden Dragon Abyss while being completely unprepared and met Long Mo Ya.  He even changed jobs to the powerful ”Reverse Boned Evil Dragon” job and received the two slumbering Heavenly Grade Equipment – Holy Dragon's Fang and Demonic Dragon's Fang.  Finally he also received this amazing new partner, Yao Yao.

The world was ever changing and no one could ever predict what would happen next.  But it was also these unpredictable ups and downs that forged a person's destiny.  The moment Ye Tian Xie received the unique quest in the City Lord's Palace in Heavenly Stellar City, was a major turning point in his destiny……Finally, he had taken a large step into the Destiny world and had been reborn.

Returning to Gu Ping Town, he arrived in front of the mayor's house.  He didn't even have time to say anything before the mayor quickly came forward and shouted with an excited face, ”Brave one, I have been looking forward to your return……You are indeed a true brave one who deserves the Badge of Bravery like the hero Gu Ping.  We already know that not only has the Undead Monarch been slain, even the Skeleton Cavern has collapsed and there will no more Undead Monarchs that will appear ever again……Brave one, not only have you saved us from a terrifying disaster, you have also saved our descendants from the fear of a future disaster……We do not know how we could ever thank you.”

Ye Tian Xie was a little surprised, but he quickly put on a humble expression and nodded, ”No need, this is something I should do.”

Of course he wasn't stupid enough to explain that the Skeleton Cavern was actually destroyed due to the blood coloured phoenix and the azure wolf.  It was impossible for him to destroy the Skeleton Cavern with just his abilities.  And for the reward for these kinds of quests, they were given based on percentage of completion.  There had to be a very large reward given for completing the quest to this degree.

”It must be because of our respect for the departed hero that sent you here to save a forgotten village like this.”  The village head began to mutter and his words made Ye Tian Xie speechless as he blushed in embarra.s.sment.  A hundred years ago, someone with the Badge of Bravery named Gu Ping had perished together with the Undead Monarch and had saved Gu Ping Town.  Now, he had defeated the Undead Monarch and had also ”destroyed the Skeleton Cavern”.  It was clear that the respect shown by the people of Gu Ping Town towards heroes was like wors.h.i.+pping G.o.ds.

The mayor was filled with excitement and grat.i.tude as he continued to praise him.  Finally he touched on the topic that Ye Tian Xie cared most about. ”Honoured hero, please come with me.  There is something we the people of Gu Ping Town wish to give you to show our grat.i.tude.”

There was a tall stone pillar in the middle of Gu Ping Town and carved on the pillar, there was a figure and the name of a person……It was Gu Ping who had saved Gu Ping Town a hundred years ago.  Beside the pillar, there was a small and ancient little shrine.  Although it was very old, the clean interior and exterior showed that people often cleaned it.

The Gu Ping Town mayor brought Ye Tian Xie over and then respectfully bowed down in front of the giant pillar, then he walked over to the shrine.  Ye Tian Xie did not follow him in and silently waited outside.  At the same time, he was very interested as he looking around himself.  Before he had come here, he had already heard the name Gu Ping before.  While he was trying to change his job in Heavenly Stellar City, he had heard it from one of the Job Change Instructors……Because he was one of the genius in the past hundred years to obtain both the Badge of Bravery and Hero's Badge, with the other being Nameless.  If it wasn't for his untimely death, he would have been someone who could have looked down on the world.

Ye Tian Xie did not wait long before the mayor quickly came back out.  In his hand, there was a strange steel coloured object.  Ye Tian Xie looked at it, but could not find out what it was.

”Hero from Heavenly Stellar City, this is the thing our Gu Ping Town has prepared to give you……And this, is something only you have the qualification to own.”  The mayor lifted his hand and placed the strange thing into Ye Tian Xie's hands.  His face was filled with emotion as he said, ”In the past, the hero Gu Ping who saved our little town perished with the Undead Monarch.  Before he died, he wanted us to bury him with the sword, s.h.i.+eld, and armour that had accompanied him his entire life.  This is the only thing he left for us because a future brave one would need this and this was also something that only a brave one had the qualifications to own.”

When Ye Tian Xie received the object, he immediately looked at its stats.
