chapter-861
One of the characteristics of being the boss was to be conflicted, conflicted, and conflicted. Sword Demon had just been conflicted twice in a row when Dusky Cloud had also been conflicted in the blink of an eye. And just like sword demon, he had been conflicted twice in a row. Just as he had been conflicted about something, something that would cause others to be conflicted had happened.
In name, dusky cloud was no longer the boss after joining the guild, but it was clear that in the eyes of dusky cloud’s brothers, there was only one boss, and that was dusky cloud. No matter how good sword demon’s character was, how famous he was, or how strong he was, it was impossible for him to replace Dusky Cloud’s position in the hearts of these people in the blink of an eye.
Even drifting clearly understood this principle. At this moment, he still addressed dusky cloud as “Boss.”Dusky cloud could no longer be bothered with the issue of addressing him as “Boss.”He only looked drifting up and down with a serious expression.
The call for drifting to cooperate with them was quite high. Dusky Cloud was still hesitating over this issue. He did not expect drifting to take the initiative to find them first, which forced him to re-evaluate drifting. After all, both sides had different standpoints. There was a reason for dusky cloud and drifting to join defiant. They had joined the guild because they thought that defiant would continue to fight against English. Fighting against English was a very important goal for them, therefore, even if they made a move in private or left the guild, dusky cloud would not feel that they had let sword demon down. After all, it was sword demon who had disobeyed them first, dusky cloud could understand his difficulties, but drifting was different.
He was an extremely heaven-defying member to begin with. His boss had already given the order not to do so, yet he had taken the initiative to contact someone in secret. Dusky cloud strongly disagreed with this approach. His brothers had all said that they wanted to cooperate with drifting, but Dusky Cloud had been hesitating the entire time because he felt that they could handle this matter on their own. If they were to find drifting, it would be akin to destroying sword demon’s platform, this was not what dusky cloud wanted to see.Dusky cloud did not say a word for a long while, while drifting did not say anything either. All he did was wait for Dusky Cloud’s reply with a smile.
“Why did you come looking for us?”Dusky cloud suddenly asked this question out of the blue.
“Why? I thought you guys needed this plan.”Drifting’s smile did not change.
“But this plan doesn’t necessarily need us,”dusky cloud said.
“Boss cloud, what do you mean?”
“We don’t want to cooperate with you.”Dusky Cloud’s tone wasn’t ambiguous at all.
“Why?”Drifting felt a little strange.“As a member of an extremely heaven-defying organization, it’s better for you to behave yourself,”dusky cloud said.
In the end, drifting laughed again. “Guilds and whatnot are nothing to me.”
Dusky cloud nodded. “I’ve heard of you. You wander around like your name. You always blame the guild, but you walk around with ease.”
Drifting was silent.
“But it seems like you need to find someone to take the fall this time?”Dusky cloud laughed.
“Oh?”
“Thousand miles drunk, that’s not someone you can just shake off with a pat on the butt, right? I think you’ve already seen the functions of his wanted license.”Dusky cloud stared straight at drifting.
Drifting remained expressionless, but his smile finally disappeared.
“If I were to say that you’ll sell me that teleportation portal scroll of yours, I think you might not want to do it,”dusky cloud said.
“If this plan is included, this scroll is already a priceless treasure. How much do you want for it?”Drifting asked.
“You’re right.”Dusky cloud nodded. “Then I wish you every success.”
After drifting left, dusky cloud’s brothers immediately surrounded him. Most of them had guessed drifting’s intentions, but when dusky cloud turned around, he shook his head at them.
“Why?”Some of the brothers did not understand. If they had hesitated before, wouldn’t it be the right time for drifting to come to them?
“He’s not a simple guy. It’s not that simple to work with him. Sword Demon has already decided to reconcile with singular. Even if we want to do something, we have to get rid of heaven-defying first. We Can’t let others take advantage of what we’ve done. On the other hand, drifting was the complete opposite. With his identity as a heaven-defying member, he had pulled off a stunt like this. Once he was done, he would take his equipment and leave. The blame would definitely be placed on heaven-defying first, and it would be hard to explain. If it were any other guild, they would not be able to do anything to him. However, heaven-defying was different. Thousand Miles Drunk’s wanted license guaranteed that he could immediately find you when you had PK points. How could an expert like drifting never have PK points? Therefore, he needed a cover. A cover that could divert attention. Everyone knows how deep our grudge with English fantasy is. If we were to cooperate with him, it would be very easy for people to think that we were the main characters. Drifting was dragged into this by us. At that time, we would most likely be the ones who could not explain. Otherwise, it would be very easy to find a partner for such a plan.”
“This guy is actually so sinister!”Dusky Cloud’s brothers exclaimed in surprise.
“We have to tell boss sword demon about this, right?”Someone said. Although dusky cloud was still the boss in their hearts, everyone respected sword demon.
“This isn’t easy to handle... there’s no real evidence to back it up. It’s possible that people will misunderstand that we’re just spreading rumors. “Our situation is already quite sensitive to begin with, and our numbers are much more than the number of people who could defy the natural order of things,”dusky cloud said.
“Why don’t we just leave, old cloud...”someone finally said this. Ever since they learned that sword demon had suddenly decided to reconcile with singular, quite a few of dusky cloud’s men were already whispering about this matter in private.
“Yeah, there’s no point in us not leaving. However, we’ve only just joined the guild, so we’ll wait for a few more days. Otherwise, it might not be a good influence on their guild,”dusky cloud said, a few of his brothers nodded their heads in agreement, and quite a few of them were displeased with how heaven-defying sword demon was. Dusky cloud no longer tried to persuade them.
Drifting, who had left dusky cloud’s leveling area, was not as calm as he appeared to be on the surface. After turning around a small hill, left hand of love and right hand of cool were fighting monsters while waiting for him. When they saw drifting return, they immediately went up to him.
“How was it?”Left Hand of love asked.
Drifting shook his head, only then did a look of surprise appear on his face. “Not simple... dusky cloud is not simple either. He’s indeed worthy of being the guy who has led more than 4,000 people. I thought that he would refuse to cooperate, but I didn’t expect him to see through my thoughts.”
“Then, what should we do now?”
“Without them, this matter won’t be easy to handle. Let’s just leave it at that for now...”drifting sighed.
It was evident that this heaven-defying guild had already formed such a small group with different thoughts. The official guild had one wave of members, dusky cloud and the others had one wave, and drifting’s three-man team had formed another wave. Apart from that, there was also a fourth wave: Southern Lone Blade’s seven-man team.
Eternal Dominion and flame singed clothes finally made their way out after sword demon had been released from prison for a few hours. The two men had roughly the same amount of time, and they knew that they would need to work together once they were out, so they deliberately kept their time as neat as possible. The two men’s release from prison was not as sensational as sword demon’s, but there were still people who picked them up. Other than southern lone blade’s six brothers, nitrite had brought along a few members from Yunteng’s workshop to wait for them, valley Breeze, who had interacted with Gu Fei and the others before, was among them.
Flame singed clothes was the first to step out, so he received the same courtesy. The moment Eternal Dominion stepped out, a group of people immediately surrounded him. Nitrite, who had always been calm and collected, was now agitated. He rushed forward and held eternal Dominion’s hand. “I’ve been waiting for you to come out.”
The others tactfully stood to the side. Southern lone blade and the others were aware of Nitrite’s identity. They were not like eternal dominion, who could be considered partners on equal footing with nitrite. They were just a bunch of workers.
“Hello, Hello.”Eternal dominion was very happy as well. Nearly forty hours in prison was not a pleasant experience.
“Over here, we’ve already sorted out a portion of the information. When do you think we can start?”Nitrite asked.
“We can start now! Do you guys know each other? These are all my... uh...”
“Assistants!”Southern lone blade took the initiative to step forward.
“Oh? It’s been hard on you guys.”Eternal dominion would bring a few people along as he spoke, nitrite was already aware of this. After all, the two had some interactions offline, such as an official cooperation contract, so nitrite could not wait to quickly sign it with eternal dominion. Eternal dominion was also straightforward. For such a big deal, just the conversation they had in the dungeon the other day, signing the contract offline was very straightforward, and it made nitrite very excited. There was no stipulation in the contract for assistants or anything like that. Eternal dominion would have to pay for the personal expenses that came with it. Since nitrite had said so, eternal dominion had no objections, if that was the case, eternal dominion would only be happier if he brought along tens of thousands of people with him.
“But we’ve prepared a copy of the information...”nitrite said. There was no photocopier in the game, so everything was written by hand. Books and the like were quite precious. There were rumors that a workshop was engaged in engraving movable type printing, it was unknown whether nitrite was real or not. In the game, engraving was not difficult for professionals. The paper was provided by the system, but things like ink seemed to have never been produced by an alchemist. It was unknown how the book would be printed.
“It doesn’t matter, one copy is enough. Our workload will be huge, why don’t we start now!”Eternal Dominion and nitrite had already communicated about the development process of the efficient leveling method.
“Alright, that’s Great!”Nitrite really liked eternal dominion’s style of doing things as he pleased.
Southern lone blade and the others were taken aback. They did not expect to start work so soon. Who knew how things were going with the heaven-defying team and the singular studios, but they were missing in an instant... it was not because southern lone blade and the others were arrogant.., they were indeed a very heaven-defying team, a very strong fighting force. In terms of how well the seven of them coordinated with each other in battle, they were definitely not any worse than Eagle’s party.
“Let me take a look at your information. Where should we go first?”Eternal dominion muttered.
“Here are the scrolls. Coordinate with the monster grinding maps above.”Nitrite sought efficiency, and he was unwilling to let eternal dominion waste his time on the road, so he had already prepared all the scrolls while he was doing his research.
“That’s too thoughtful, thank you!”Eternal Dominion took the scrolls. There were simply too many of them to fit in his pocket. Blank scrolls without coordinates were stackable items, but after they had been made, they couldn’t be stacked and had to be placed elsewhere.
“Hehe, Mr. Eternal, you can just take a portion first. I’ll keep the rest for you first. If you need them, just let me know in advance, and I’ll deliver them right away.”Leaf valley wind saw that it wasn’t convenient to just carry a bunch of teleportation scrolls around, he quickly said that.
“Alright then.”Eternal Dominion did not seem to mind at all. At this moment, he flipped to the first page of the information that Yun Teng had organized and patted it, saying, “Then let’s leave it here for now!”
Leaf valley wind took a quick glance and immediately took out the scrolls. There were just two of them, enough for eternal dominion and the seven of them to fly together.
“I’ll be on my way then,”eternal dominion called out to nitrite.
“Everything will go according to our agreement,”nitrite said.
“Of course.”Eternal dominion nodded as he called Southern lone blade and the others over. With two scrolls and two teleportation arrays, the eight of them were teleported out to a grinding map, and southern lone blade and the others did not even know which main city it was, the progress of the matter was simply too fast, and eternal dominion was just too straightforward in doing things.
“Big South, say hello to thousand miles drunk and the others...”Blackwater said.
“We do have to say hello,”southern lone blade sighed. The seven of them were quite grateful to Gu Fei right now. He had brought them into the efficient monster grinding routine, so they would not have to worry about food and clothing for a very long time!
“What do you want to say hello to?”Eternal Dominion asked casually as he observed the fight between a monster and a player not too far away.
“It’s just that we were surrounded the last time, and it’s not over yet!”Southern lone blade gave a brief explanation.
“Oh, OH, then hurry up! You might even need our help when you’re Done!”Eternal Dominion immediately went up to slay the monster.
The seven of them looked at each other in dismay. This was not something that could be completed in a few hours. Everyone had already seen that huge stack of information, and it was obvious that it was not all of it. When would it be over?
“No matter what, let’s give him a heads up first!”Glue added.
“I know.”Southern lone blade nodded his head and sent a message to Gu Fei and sword demon, indicating that they had already started working with eternal dominion.
“Oh? He’s Out? Do your best!”Gu Fei replied.
“Alright,”sword demon replied.
The two men were still in the private room of Ray’s Tavern, and it had not been long since they had sent off Ying Yang. They were currently trying to figure out what was on the mind of the studio. After a brief discussion, they came to the same conclusion: no matter what, the boss of English fantasy would not be such a pig. With his attitude, it was clear that he wanted to start a war with someone who defied the natural order of things! However, what was the purpose of starting a war? Could it be that he could not take this lying down?
“No matter what, we have no way out right now,”young master Han said.
“Not at all. Eternal Dominion and Yunteng have already signed the contract,”brother assist said.
“That’s right. Besides, what does the efficient monster grinding routine have to do with our guild? Only eternal dominion and I can do it!”Gu Fei said.
“F * ck! What kind of attitude is that? You’re a member of a guild, too. Your Guild is so clear-cut, so I despise you!”Royal God Call said.
“Who are you talking to? Don’t be so rude!”Gu Fei berated.
“I... I’m just stating the facts...”Royal God call did not dare to argue with Gu Fei.
