The things I just saw were really crucial to , and it was logic for my enemy to prevent from entering here, as I would benefit a lot from it.
What I found was a whole section dedicated to sacred lands. Before even entering it, I realized how important it was to establish a post for any power in this empire out there.
The sacred lands test wasn't full of dangers only, it was also full of opportunities. I began to scroll down the items sold there, and the more I read the more I beca astonished.
The first thing to attract my eyes were many books dedicated to the strategies and secrets of surviving there. The authors were the famous players out there in these lands according to the description beside each book.
There were manuals for how to establish a castle and how to defend it. These manuals weren't cheap, as each book was sold at a high price of twenty thousand gold coins.
In front of there were over two to three dozen of these books, and from what I read in their titles I guessed many were just repeating the sa thing with different perspectives.
What caught my attention after I read all of their detailed explanations were three books, the first was a manual for beginners, which was a handful of books for my current position. I bought it without any second thoughts, as it was one of the kind.
All books here were directed towards the experienced players, those who already had small posts and were aiming to transform it into a small kingdom. My ambition was bigger than that, however I wanted first to survive and establish my post, as this was the hardest step in my opinion.
The second book was about how to set defensive and offensive strategies in the sacred lands using the terrain. For I was a leader of armies and most of the ti I loved using the terrain to my advantage.
So, this book suited my taste, and I bought it.
The third book was about the secrets inside the sacred lands. This book alone was sold at a high price of fifty thousand gold coins. That wasn't cheap, however from its description I realized how valuable it was.
This book wasn't only revealing the secrets of these lands, it was also telling all the legends and folk tales ever said about the sacred lands. For I wasn't sure of its value until I saw a sample of the book quoted in the description.
It was speaking about an old legend relating these sacred lands and the founder of the Frod's empire and lastly the relation of both with the legendary character of the witch.
I had high hopes for that book, so I bought it and ignored more than a dozen of the sa books who were only telling the secrets. For so reason, this book's sales weren't as good as the others. In fact I was number eighty six in the list of buyers, at the sa ti the lowest book in the sa list sold at least ten thousand copies so far.
Underrated gem like this was a nice catch for . I knew it might not help at revealing the sacred lands secrets like other books, but I wanted to know more, especially about the history of these lands.
After I bought the three books, I paid ninety thousand gold coins. It pained to lose all these coins so rapid like this, however that was essential.
After buying the books, I began to check other supplies that seed useful, yet very expensive. I found a flying fortress that seed like a very strong defensive and offensive tool, but its price was really mind blowing for .
They needed five million gold coins to buy it, five million gold coins, wow! I really couldn't imagine there were items sold by millions here.
Who would be this filthy rich to buy it? I envied them if these legends truly existed.
To be honest, all the items sold here were way over my budget, but I kept reading them. I wanted to gain all the information related to that place. I had a feeling that my enemies in these lands wouldn't be only limited to the demons.
I wanted to know the capabilities of other players there, and the more I read the more I beca sure of my true place there.
I was nothing, like an ant crawling in front of giants. If any of those old and rich players wanted to destroy my land, they could do this without even sweating.
I had to be careful, so careful when I start the test, or else I might pump into a hard rock that would put an end to my adventure there.
I hoped there would be a restricting law, fiercer that laws of the ga here, to prevent players from attacking each other and snatching each other's territories.
The list took quite so ti until I finished it, and I finished it with a deep long sigh. I was now not that happy with my acquisition of the three books, as I knew players who would buy things here wouldn't bother with selecting any book.
They would simply buy them all.
I sighed again, why wasn't I the daughter of a filthy rich family here? That was sad.
Without knowing it, half an hour passed, and this was enough for my preparations to be completed. I found ssages sent from Gabri telling he was heading towards here ten minutes ago.
If he moved fast, then he would be about to enter here. I looked towards that master who was looking at with bulging eyes and frustrating looks as I said with a chuckle:
"I have finished here, thanks for your hospitality."
I then moved from my seat without waiting for his reply. Elyo and Diana followed silently as Elyo sent privately to :
'Are we going to kill them?'
'Yes, be ready as we have to receive the first hit,' I replied.
'That sucks, why can't we just report them? they are lying in ambush for us for over half an hour. They should be punished, not us,' she said with a displeased expression over her face.
I smiled as I didn't reply, these were the rules, and we had to adjust to them.
Once we exited the building, I felt danger approaching fast. The place was so quiet, with no player or NPC moving at any place. however I knew, my enemies were lurking in the darkness waiting for .
They were waiting for my mistake, either I would be careless or I would be impulsive.
So I didn't move rapidly, as I treated each step with utmost care. I could have used my immune skill from the start, but that would be a waste as they could wait until my skill beca invalid and then they would attack.
I hated these stressful monts, why didn't they just attack from the start and end this nervous waiting?
As I was thinking like that, I sensed a movent coming from behind. Without any hesitation I threw my spear to float over my fingertips calmly as I ordered:
"We can't be the first one to attack, so defend."
Elyo knew this, but Diana didn't so I had to inform her or else we would be punished. My words ca in the perfect ti, as Diana was about to slash her sword towards the incoming enemies.
She paused as she didn't attack, instead she jumped couple of steps to the back to stand behind as she muttered:
"Sorry, my skill arsenal is full of attacking skills, no single defensive one."
That was surprising, however I didn't bother with her as three enemies appeared suddenly from the back to be just a few ters away from . I smiled as they were fast, however in my opinion they were a decoy.
The real attack would co from my back right now, and my counter to it was ready.
"Gravity skill."
I muttered as the area around changed in gravity at once, at the sa ti two silhouettes appeared out of nowhere with surprising looks over their faces.
This simple, yet effective attack strategy was my favourite, who would hate a decoy strategy? No one!
And now, I had the most perfect counter for that kind of attack, poor assassins.
Once they were revealed, they were startled for a mont, a mont of hesitation and doubt was enough for to use my second skill.
"Dragon cape fog skill."
Once the skill was used, a fog appeared around to make able to jump at any ti I wanted. I selected this skill despite its small immune window as I wasn't sure about the classical type of immune skills.
Those assassins ca here knowing my identity and skills, so they must have known I had immune skills. they also knew I was a mystic art user, so the possibility of them being like was high, very high.
And so, I chose this skill to avoid any problems like what happened to when I fought Leli before. Once the fog appeared, they thought I wanted to run away so the two assassins moved to attack fiercely with their two daggers.
Four daggers targeted from impossible to dodge angels, however all I needed to do was to think of jumping and I disappeared. When I appeared three ters away from them, surprisingly I found the four daggers still following .
They both were mystic art users. That wasn't bad news for , instead it was brilliant news to . these two assassins turned to be a hot cake in my eyes, I wanted to eat them now, I wanted to kill them now.
