,, Nothing less I would expect from almighty Dung ''
Yulin took a glance at Dung who was grinning to himself like an idiot and shook her head. She was guessing what Dung was thinking about
- You're not that impressive, kid, I doubt you can find a single soul to bully in the place where we are going
Yulin mercilessly shattered Dung's self satisfying thoughts
Dung wanted to roll his eyes, thinking comparing little newbie like him to level 40+ players was bullying him
- Oh right, master, I wanted to get rookie champion title, so I want to restrain from leveling up to decrease chances of bad matches
Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
Yulin shot him look of disdain
- What use does little rookie champion title have? You have sufficient reputation in beginner village already, don't think you can leech off me. If we meet monsters along the way, I won't help you
,, Hmm, this seems to be the case. 2 hidden quests really gave me a lot of reputation, but I still want to push my luck. If there's no choice, only then will I fight ''
Looking at depressed Dung Yulin grinned and said
- You know, monsters are more perceptive of danger, I doubt they would attack us
- Master, you're bullying me
Dung exclaimed, exasperated
Yulin shrugged
The forest they had to go through was low level monster area, where players and bunch of monsters could be seen occasionally, but no monster dared harass the duo
A few dozen minutes later, they finally reached their destination, curved out area under lush vegetation of forest, empty of monsters, but it was extremely cold and mana concentration was high. There was a small pond, giving off chilly aura
Yulin gestured to stop
- That's the place. Now, activate the teleportation crystal, the destination is marked in it
Soon, pale blue light enveloped the two
* * *
Misty canyon harbor was a huge town located close to the sea. The place was bustling as many sea merchant ships came and went every minute. This place was popular place for players as it offered many adventurous quests. The strongest influence in the town were sea marines, so order was rather good in town. However that couldn't be said to the sea, where countless pirates looted the ships
There were many dangerous sea monsters linked with hidden quests and success in this area, so the place never lacked players who explored a lot more than others to get lucky
There were adventurer guilds, where extra benefits could be found, bounty hunters who did dirty job in place of marines, organizations founded by players, nobility of the town and so on. In short, the situation was complicated, but in common, nobody was weak here
Unfortunately, it was not time yet for Dung to explore this interesting place.
The duo appeared on the platform, where people could hop down from their ships. Many majestic looking ships of different quality stood at the bay, minutely swaying from light sea waves. The sea breeze brought cold and fishy smell. The sun couldn't be seen. If one looked at the sea, a thick layer of fog covered the vision, making the sea look more mysterious and dangerous. As for town, even near deck of ships, there were many crooks and vendors advertising their wares
- Don't miss it, sea pearls, bringing luck and fortune, limited in stock
A player shouted with temptation, catching people's attention
- Come, we have every type of ingredients for alchemists: green salt, violet medusa hide...
- Selling rare grade 15 javelins dropped by Silver Claw pirates, guaranteed one shot kill
,, So noisy ''
After admiring the sea view, the hustling and bustling town gave Dung annoying feeling.
Except for that, though there were many players in the area, they were very obedient, in fear of being jailed by marines and losing their precious time or losing their reputation
But there was an exception in front. A commotion was raising as many people were cursing the trio
One was running, other two were chasing
- Are you guys crazy? Don't you want to live in this town anymore?
Youngster, wearing funny equipment roared in desperation
- He he, idiot, there's a bounty on your head
The middle aged player licked his blade as sword beam, shaped like cross diced the player, chipping off huge chunk of his health
The youngster's face paled as he exclaimed with gritted teeth
- Damn it, bastard Helnes nobles, you guys won't get away with this either
The youngster suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind two brothers
- Fuck, behind!
But it was too late, their necks were sliced and they received critical damage from assassin's back stab along with many dangerous passives of the said player
- Humph
The youngster snorted as he saw bunch of marines with fierce looks and blue outfits approaching and turned into a blur, disappearing into a crowd
- Don't get lost
Yulin reminded him
- Oh, right
The duo kept walking through many streets and alleyways. The areas they passed through appeared less and less crowded, until there were only two of them left.
- Is this the right place?
Dung asked doubtfully
Yulin nodded, didn't elaborate and continued going
They walked around a huge lake with seemingly no end, before a cottage appeared in their sight, near lake
The place was somewhat peaceful. The insects continuously made sounds, occasionally little frogs would flop in and out of the lake, while dim sun rays lightened up some areas
,, Peace loving hermit? ''
Dung thought in his heart and kept walking silently
