545 Meeting the Princess (2/2)
Since the Princess was popular and had many interactions and the most intimate relationship with the gamers, the gamers believed that she had a lot of Hidden Plots. The new gamers wanted Strange Encounter Missions, as that would help them improve very fast. They could become just like Hoodlum of Victoria City, who encountered the slave warrior Strange Encounter Mission just after he became a gamer.
The Princess was unable to provide a similar slave warrior Strange Encounter Mission, but she might have other Strange Encounter Missions. The gamers wanted to try their luck. Did Arthur not receive the Strange Encounter Mission to rescue her? Perhaps, the Princess might want to escape again after staying in Eternal Kingdom for a few days.
That was what the gamers thought.
”Humph! What are those Goblins doing? Are they so free?”
The Little Fairy scoffed as she sat and hugged her arms up in the treehouse.
She struggled for half a day before deciding to return to Eternal Kingdom because of her good friend Raintea. She didn't want to be harassed by these ruffian Goblins. If the Goblins hadn't surrounded her treehouse, she would have looked for Sherlock to protest against the Goblins.
When she returned to Eternal Kingdom, she had made an agreement with Sherlock.
She was no longer a prisoner of Eternal Kingdom but an official employee.
While she was in anguish, she heard shouting from outside.
”Wah, is that Arthur? I saw Sister Vanas!”
”Arthur Bro, I'm your fan. Can you sign an autograph for me?”
”Isn't Arthur third in the most powerful warriors rankings?”
”Are you sure? Is Arthur third in the rankings? Isn't he the richest gamer in Eternal Kingdom?”
”He's the top warrior in Eternal Kingdom, but compared to Victoria City, Arthur is only ranked number three. The first in the rankings is Dragonborn, with Weapon Level 20. The second in the rankings is Hoodlum, who has Weapon Level 15. Arthur is one level lower at Level 14,” a gamer said to another gamer after checking the rankings board.
”That's Raintea. I saw Veteran Raintea. Is that the main force of the Pioneer Alliance? Oh my god, are they the legendary First Beta Gamers? Their equipment looks awesome. They're all Orcs. When can we become Orcs?”
”Stop thinking about this. You have to work day and night for two months before becoming an Orc. The Orc mission is sick. You have to complete the Daily Missions for two months. It's easier to become a Houndhead Man, as you only need to work for a month and fawn over Eggface, then you'll become a Houndhead Man immediately.”
”It's not fun being a Houndhead Man, as they are short. Orcs are better and stronger. They are able to tear Spiders apart using their bare hands.”
”Bro, have you ever seen anyone kill a Spider using their bare hands? The Houndhead Man isn't weak either. Also, the Houndhead Man has better Mana Affinity and more powerful Mana Skills compared to an Orc. An Orc can only release a single Mana attack, while a Houndhead Man can release three Mana attacks. A Magician profession is much stronger than a warrior. Do you understand?”
”An Orc warrior is stronger. I saw BurningChestHair fighting tens of Spiders. He's a very powerful Orc.”
”ChestHair is one of the top ten powerful gamers on the rankings board. What about Hemp Rope Technology, who is a Goblin endowed with the Power of Sacred Light? He could fight hundreds of Spiders without any problem.”
”Hundreds of Spiders are insignificant to Hemp Rope Technology. With the Power of Sacred Light, he could even kill Arthur.”
The gamers chatted as they left the treehouse. They had stayed underneath the treehouse for a long time without meeting the Little Fairy, so they figured that the Little Fairy didn't have any Strange Encounter Missions for them.
The Little Fairy heaved a sigh of relief when the gamers left. She popped her head out to look in the direction that the gamers were heading.
She heard them mention Raintea, so she was worried. She saw the gamers heading towards Raintea and hesitated about whether to follow them. Then she saw another group of gamers rushing towards the treehouse.
”It's the Little Fairy! Princess!”
”Princess! Come and take a look! I want to complete your Strange Encounter Mission!”
”I'm looking for a teacher! I'm looking for a teacher! I'm a new gamer!”
The group of gamers surrounded the treehouse and made a ruckus. The Little Fairy was exasperated.
”Another group of irritating gamers!”
…
In the desert of the Underworld, a sand storm was brewing, and there were many strange Lizards abound.
The Lizards seemed to merge with the sand.
A Lizard lifted its head and gazed at a blurred figure in front. A dried hand extended and grabbed its body. Then, the Lizard was pulled up and shoved into a mouth. There were sounds of ”Ka cha, ka cha” as the Lizard was chewed.
The figure was hidden in a gray cloak, and his eyes emitted yellow rays as he gazed forward.
”Sherlock…”
His voice sounded like it came from Hades.
