535 Attacking Bandits (1/2)

Finally, the gamers bought the large backpack using 10 bronze coins, as well as an Axe that they had taken a fancy to.

Though Old John emphasized that the Axe wasn't very sharp and was inferior to their weapons, the gamers insisted on buying it.

The Axe was an item that wasn't appraised, and the price was affordable. The gamers were guessing that it could be the best Axe in the entire village. It might even be an Orange Legendary Equipment. This was a common occurrence in other online games.

Old John thought that the troubles would end. But on the second day, when he woke up and went outside his house, he saw many villagers gathering. They wanted to talk to Old John. After listening to the villagers, he got to know what happened last night. Besides Old John, those guests had visited most of the villagers.

Not all of them ransacked the homes. Many gamers requested information or asked if the villagers needed help.

The villagers didn't have a restful night. The gamers were full of vigor, and they frequently knocked on doors. They would even return to ask additional questions.

The most problematic ones were the gamers that ransacked the homes.

Old John felt that he had to communicate with the guests and tell them subtly not to disturb the villagers at night. Though he might appear inhospitable, he had no choice. He didn't want the guests to ransack his home in the middle of the night.

With the requests and complaints of the villagers on his mind, Old John walked to the big house that the guests were staying in. As he was about to walk in, he heard voices inside.

Two Fairies seemed to be talking.

”Princess, did they make things difficult for you? Were you tortured in the Underworld?”

”Don't worry, I'm fine. Let's think of how we can return back to our homeland.”

”Princess, I don't feel at ease with the Underworld creatures. They killed numerous soldiers of the Godly Kingdom and the Victorians. Now, they release you out of kindness. I feel that there must be some conspiracy behind all this!”

”Don't worry. They killed many creatures, but Raintea and the others aren't the same as the rest.”

The voices of the Fairies became softer and softer. Old John's heart felt as though it was hit by a large hammer. He knew what the Underworld meant. He was aware that the green-skinned creatures were from the Underworld. If the words of the Fairies were true, then the monsters had killed many people.

Old John realized the gravity of the situation. He wanted to talk to the guests about the disturbances at night, but he decided not to. He slowly backed up and knocked into something solid.

Old John turned his head and saw a large figure. It was a green-skinned monster with green symbols above his head who was wearing black armor.

The tall monster lowered his head to look at Old John. At the same time, Old John gazed into the eyes of the monster with terror. Old John's legs trembled uncontrollably. If his adrenaline hadn't been pumping, he would have collapsed to the ground.

The large monster spoke to Old John, but Old John couldn't understand. The large monster suddenly recalled that Old John couldn't understand him, so he shook his head and shouted at the house.

There were only two Fairies in the house. The Princess understood the Underworld language. When she heard the shout, she walked out and spoke to the monster using their common language.

The Princess and the monster spoke for a while, then the Princess said to Old John, ”Arthur is curious why you're here. Do you have any requests?”

The Princess, who was well versed in both Surface World and Underworld languages, became the interpreter.

Old John was thinking about how to capture the creatures of the Underworld. He had no mood to chat here. He muttered something while backing off before leaving in a hurry.

Old John's behavior was strange, but Arthur wasn't bothered. There were many strange NPCs, but Arthur wasn't interested in them.

Arthur looked in Old John's direction. He had estimated the resources required for their journey and obtained a local map. The Fairies' homeland wasn't far from the village. There was a deviation in the destination of the Teleport Portal, but fortunately, the deviation wasn't that great. It would take them four to five days to walk to the boundary of the forest.

He wasn't aware that Old John was planning to deal with them.

Old John walked for a distance before stopping. He then turned his head to ensure that nobody was following him.

Old John tried to calm down. It wasn't practical to chase the unwelcome guests away. However, he couldn't let them stay in the village either. Last night, four creatures barged in and ransacked his house. Though they had given him money, if he hadn't come out, they would have taken his property. It was the behavior of bandits. Old John couldn't help but worry.

Old John gathered the young lads in the village and made a plan to deal with the gamers. Before he had the chance to make the plan, a few villagers brought the gamers to Old John.

”Village Chief, they're leaving and bidding us farewell.”

The young lads beside Old John heaved a sigh of relief. If possible, they didn't want to fight with the fully-armed gamers. The large sizes and the appearances of the Orcs and Gnomes were terrifying.

The villagers didn't feel they were capable of defeating the gamers.

”Village Chief, thank you for taking care of us during this period of time. We have important matters to attend to. We are brave warriors, and the world is waiting for us to save it, so we won't be staying here any longer. Once our mission is completed, we may come back and help you deal with the nearby monsters. We hope you can prepare rewards for after we deal with the nearby monsters.”

It was the deformed Hoodlum who spoke. TakeASpearHit interpreted his speech and informed the gamers of Eternal Kingdom.
