Chapter 73 – Vermillion Bird City (1/2)
“Brother Grubber, we’re going to do our mission now. See you later,”said HeadofGod.
“What mission do you have here?” Fatty couldn’t help but to ask after waving .
“Assassination,” HeadofGod said very in a cool manner, then lead the rest of God Familia away.
“Are you not going with them?” Fatty glanced at TheFugitive.
“Barbaric things such as killing someone is not something that an elegant person such as I, TheFugitive, should do,” TheFugitive said proudly.
“Hey, did you hear that? That sleazy looking guy actually called himself elegant,” two female players whispered on the side as they snuck peeks at Fatty and TheFugitive.
“Tsk, they’re clearly bad people. One of them’s lecherous, the other one’s sleazy,” the other female player clucked her tongue and seemed to have a clear problem with how the Fatty and TheFugitive looked.
“Fuge, they said that you’re lecherous and sleazy,” Fatty immediately turned to TheFugitive.
“As expected of Vermillion Bird City’s chicks, they really have good taste to be able to identify such a great man like myself at first glance,” TheFugitive didn’t care that Fatty was misquoting and merely winked towards the two female players.
“Ebat!”
“Stop being such a weirdo,” Fatty looked towards the gate of Vermillion Bird City. “Let’s walk around for a bit first.”
“What? Are we not going to find Lil’ Sis?” TheFugitive immediately asked.
“Fuge, I’m warning you. You can call her Pink, Beauty or even Pink Beauty, but you are not permitted to call her Lil’ Sis,” Fatty growled softly.
“Fine, alright. Are we not going to find Little Sister Pink?”
Fatty calmed himself down for a moment, then decided not to argue with this person who clearly had no shame. “I only came here to see just what kind of person that XuanYuanSword is. I don’t want my little sister to know I’m looking into him.”
“Then can’t we just ask around?” TheFugitive immediately lost all interest when heard that they weren’t going to find Qian Xiaoqian.
The pair begun to ask around Vermillion Bird City. It was clear that Myriad Swords was very well known as the ninth ranking guild in the city. They asked a few people and most of them knew exactly who and what they were talking about.
…
“XuanYuanSword, the guild master of Myriad Swords is handsome and tall with a heroic aura around him. He is around his mid-twenties and is very trustworthy and loyal. He also acts rather chivalrously, so many people have a good impression of him. Even the guild masters of the competing guilds have endless praises for him,” TheFugitive summarized the information they heard and turned to Fatty. “He sounds pretty nice. Man, a future brother-in-law like him really makes me feel pressured when he’s almost as cool as me.”
Fatty waved his hand. He was in no mood to argue with TheFugitive. Although in-game appearance can differ from real life, he was pretty sure that XuanYuanSword wasn’t Qi Xuan. According to what Fatty knew about him, Qi Xuan definitely wouldn’t be able to do all this.
“Move, move!” a few players pushed Fatty and TheFugitive aside and raced towards the outside of the city gate.
“Dude, you insane? The path is so wide, why the heck did you have to walk right I am?” TheFugitive cursed.
“Brat, who ya’ talking about?” the people heard TheFugitive’s words and turned around, while Humpdapanda, a warrior with a carrying a sword on his back, asked menacingly.
“I was cursing my grandson, how’s that any of your business?” TheFugitive said lazily.
“You are f*cking seeking death. Come outside of the city if you dare!” another person, MidnightPeeker, pointed at TheFugitive.
“Shh, don’t go outside. Those people aren’t easy to deal with. Everything will be fine as long as you endure it for a moment,” a player beside TheFugitive whispered to him and Fatty.
“Thanks for your advice. May I ask who are these people? How dare they be so cocky?” Fatty asked.
“You don’t know? I guess you aren’t Vermillion Bird City players. No wonder you dared to get into a conflict with them. They’re all from Myriad Swords, the ninth ranking guild in the city. Their guild has experts such as the Heavenly Mountain’s Seven Swords, and the Nine Divine Martial Swords. Their guild master, XuanYuanSword, is also the third on the leaderboards!”
“I thought XuanYuanSword is supposed to be trustworthy, loyal and chivalrous? Why does he have some people like them working for him?” TheFugitive asked.
“Ahh, it’s impossible to make every single one of his subordinates a gentleman. Every single guild has a few scum players,” the player shook his head.
“What? You don’t dare? Then keep turtling inside the city. Haha, I think you guys should go to Black Tortoise City. That’s where you belong,” the Myriad Sword players laughed, causing a bunch of players to stand on the side and watch the show unfold.
“Thank you so much,” Fatty thanked the player who answered their questions.
Seeing that the two didn’t heed his advice, the player didn’t say anything more. He already did his part, if the pair didn’t listen to him and got into trouble, then it was all on them.
Black Tortoise City?” Fatty chuckled. “Ooh, now I remember. I saw you in Black Tortoise City before. You told me that Black Tortoise City’s really nice and going over there was like going back home. Hiding in Black Tortoise City was damn safe.”
