406 Chapter 406 - Hail a Boa (1/2)
Luori City.
The other six experts that formed Young Master's Elites had gathered in full force, and quite a few of them bore the same look of distaste.
”Why are you instructing him to kill him as much as possible!?” Royal God Call asked Young Master Han, his expression showing much sorrow. Everybody could not help but recall that time back in the game's beta period. No Smile was considered to be a character of certain repute, who ended up losing a whole eight levels because no one had specified how many times they wanted him dead!
To think Young Master Han had actually said ”as much as you can”, everyone imagined a scene where Southern Lone Blade would be standing stark naked on the spawn point, standing with just his shadow as company, as hateful tears rolled down his cheeks.
Actually, everybody would gladly witness such a scene, but they would have to pay an exorbitant price for this show of force. Under Young Master Han's strong encouragement, Southern Lone Blade was sure to drop by twenty or even thirty levels, and they would be the ones paying for it. Thinking of this, the few of them clutched their money pouches tightly, even as their hate towards Young Master Han deepened further.
”Why would Southern Lone Blade be as foolish as No Smile?” Cynicism dripped in Young Master Han's words.
To be fair, No Smile was not dumb, either. But it was still early in the game's infancy, so he was entirely unaware of Gu Fei's game-breaking level of prowess, which resulted in his fall from grace. There was no reason for Southern Lone Blade to make the same mistake, especially now that he had just lost a level, there was no way he would be just like No Smile back then and inadvertently attempt to seek revenge.
”Mmm, Southern Lone Blade is a conscientious man. It is very likely that Miles just caught him off guard with how quickly he was taken down. Once bitten, twice shy; I doubt he will give him another chance.” Brother Assist was ultimately a friend of Southern Lone Blade, so he at least had some understanding of how he worked. However, this friendship of theirs was probably dead in the water by now.
”That's why we gotta hurry! Southern Lone Blade must have originally set up a trap for us, but Miles will most likely have made a mess of things for him. What else are we waiting for if we don't capitalize on it now?” Young Master Han lifted his Priest robes the moment he said this and began to make his way out of Luori City.
”Ah…” Only then did the other four came to a start. It turned out that Young Master Han had not hired Eternal Dominion just to watch the ensuing spectacle, but his intention was to draw Southern Lone Blade's attention away from them, allowing them to disembark without any trouble. It seemed as if this grievance between the two parties would still be settled by their own hands, after all!
These men were all invigorated now that they had such thoughts in mind. Royal God Call slung on his three bows as he bolted out of Luori City. This was how he dressed now; during battle, these bows would be stashed in his dimensional pocket, since retrieving them from his dimensional pocket was a lot easier than from his back.
”Let's go!” Sword Demon and War Without Wounds looked at one another, nodded and walked after them.
Brother Assist was now the last one hesitating. As he quickly tried to catch up, he shouted, ”So where are we going now? Where's the ferry?”
”I've already contacted them!” Walking in front of everyone, Young Master Han waved his hand as he replied.
”Contacted who?” Brother Assist was nonplussed.
The other three naturally had no idea as well, so all they could do was follow Young Master Han.
Approaching Luori City's sparse pier, the four immediately spotted a small wooden boat half beached by the shore where the system ferry would be docked, with a player lying on it comfortably. That man immediately stood up when he saw the five of them approaching, clambering off the boat and quickly walking over to Young Master Han.
”Hello there!” Without confirming anyone's identity, this man had confidently came forth to greet Young Master Han. Even though he had never met him before this very second, he was certain that this was the man he was waiting for… because the fellow looked far too outstanding.
Young Master Han merely nodded. The four men had rushed up by now asking, ”What's this?”
”A boat I hailed from Linshui City,” Young Master Han pointed.
”You can do that?!?!” They all stared at that wooden boat.
”How else did you think Deep Waters and the others got here?” Young Master Han retorted.
”Oh? Did he help you get in contact with this guy?”
”There's no need for that. There was already a business set up over at Linshui City,” Young Master Han had noticed there were players selling their ferry services when he had been drinking by the beach, thus he already gotten the man's contact information in preparation for hailing his services the moment they needed it.
”Let's go!” Young Master Han gestured everyone to board the watercraft.
”Wait a minute!” the boatman suddenly interrupted. This boat can only take five players.”
The five men all froze. They halted in their steps as they regarded the size of the boat. They did not feel the man was making a false claim about the boat's capacity.
”Oh, we'll take care of it ourselves!” Young Master Han smiled. ”Here, take the money first.”
Young Master Han handed the coin pouch over, much to the man's surprise. They did not have the rule to pay for tickets prior to boarding, and most players would only pay up after they got to the destination.
Naturally, the boatman would not reject being paid first, so he took it and counted the coins within. He nodded once to make sure the amount was right, raising his head to find that the other four players were already onboard his boat and had even even pushed it off into the water.
”Aren't you riding the boat?” The boatman was shocked. He never expected that the person being left out of this trip would be the person who had employed his services.
”Oh no!” Young Master Han smiled warmly. ”You're the one who's not riding.”
”WHAT?” the boatman's mouth hung agape.
