As Yardpirun turned out to be Bluebirds guild leader, Sila was no longer wary of her. The three of them were sitting in the palace, awaiting the return of the Android King. While they waited, Bluebird changed the subject by asking Sila to tell him about what had happened during his return to Beginning Island.
For the record, Yardpirun sat next to Bluebird and listened carefully to Silas story while Bluebird was restless and couldnt focus at all. His eyes wandered to his guild leader from ti to ti.
...And this is the Black Dragon Sword that I got from the fight against Montra. As for what happened after that, Miss Yardpirun should know. Sila pulled out the sword for the others to see.
Isnt it too easy? Yardpirun expressed her doubt.
No? I died a total of four tis fighting him. If it wasnt for... Sila tried to explain.
Thats not what I ant; I know that Mister Sila did your best in the fight against Montra. Rather, Im suspicious about the fact that he left the sword behind. You might think that its inevitable that Montra had to abandon it, but Im quite sure that its a part of his sche. If he left the sword, that ant he wanted you to have it.
Sila couldnt help but be reminded of Sanons warning; Montra will always be planning ahead.
Arent you thinking too deeply about it, Miss Yardpirun? It might just be that Montra was really desperate.
That wouldnt be. Im studying Montra closely and can pretty much say that he never does anything without planning ahead.
Yardpirun looked at Bluebird, to which he nodded, before continuing.
Actually, this is my top secret. However, to show you my sincerity, I will tell you. Im currently acting as a spy in the Heavenly Dragon Guild. My other persona is Cheris, the Star Finishing Warlord, one of the Heavenly Dragon Guilds Five Dragon Warlords.
Shocked at what he just heard, Sila was surprised that the mysterious guild leader of the Blue Pigeon Guild could sneak in and stay that close to Montra, though a lot of questions appeared in his mind.
And no one has ever found out about you? Surely at least one of the mbers of the Heavenly Dragon Guild should be able to discern your real identity.
Bluebird was the one to answer this question in her place. Boss possesses the highest mastery of Mind Concealnt, Disguise, and Psychic Manipulation in the ga. If she wishes to mask her identity, no one can detect her.
Closing her eyes, Yardpiruns body transford into a woman with curly black hair. Her facial appearance changed completely, and even her clothing was replaced by a black kimono.
I can even disguise my rank. Please check if you dont believe , she said with an entirely different voice.
Looking through his system window, Sila confird that what she was telling him was the truth. The inspection result shown on his screen was Player Cheris, Level 1000 Emperor Rank. Emperor Rank was still uncharted territory for all players, so this information was obviously fake; that ant she could completely manipulate the information that other players saw.
Compared to other types, a psychic-type player has a lot of tricks up their sleeve. Besides, my main weapon is a sword, which is the most common weapon. For this reason, if I dont slip up or show my real ability, no one will be able to tell my persona apart. As she finished speaking, her appearance transford back, though the information on Silas screen stayed the sa. Witnessing this peculiar phenonon, he started to find psychic type appealing.
I understand. In conclusion, you know Montra better than I do, and think that he had a hidden motive behind leaving the sword in my care.
Yes. At the very least, if soone has a tracking ability, they can always locate your location.
Swinging the sword around, Sila found that he was, mysteriously, getting more and more familiar with using a sword. It was a unique experience for him, as he had never touched a sword even once in his life.
I will be careful about it, then. Do you happen to know a way to prevent him from tracking ?
I know at least three thods. One, hold onto the weapon longer than the previous owner. Two, lt it down and recreate it. Three, seal it.
He reviewed the options in his mind and ca to a conclusion. The first seed impossible, the second sounded botherso and he wouldnt know when the new sword would be finished and returned to him. The war event was almost upon them, and he wanted to quickly familiarize himself with swords. Hence, Sila chose the third option.
Hey, Blue, among the skills we can select in Lost Grea City, is there a skill for sealing?
Bluebird snapped his finger. There is! Its even in this very palace; in the fourth research laboratory on the second floor.
At first, Sila barely cared about the three psychic-type skills he could obtain within Lost Grea City. However, his mind changed when he witnessed Yardpirun display her skill. It seed he would have to quickly read the list of the skills that Bluebird had prepared.
The reason I ca here is because I want to make a deal with you, Mister Sila. A business deal. Can we talk right now?
Yardpirun had told him that she had so matters to attend to in Lost Grea City, but Sila didnt expect that her matter was related to him, and a business-related one at that.
Please tell more about it.
Yardpirun coughed once. The thing is, our Blue Pigeon Guild is currently dealing with serious financial issues. She glanced at Bluebird, who avoided her gaze. Bluebird gave a report that Mister Sila owns two Invitation Cards to Lost Grea City. Therefore, we would like to purchase one of them.
Sila took the Invitation Cards out. He really owned two of them. He obtained the first when he finished the invasion and got himself another one from the Android King for the request to retrieve the Eternal Onyx.
I really have two. Do we have to make a trade though?
Yes, we do. Mister Sila might see Bluebird as your friend, but a business is a business. We need to make things right. Of course, we cant possibly pay you in cash as the value of an Invitation Card to any of the main cities is incalculable. Therefore, my proposal is that I will pay you with the Heavenly Dragon Guilds detailed information, including the information about Montra himself and his important teammates. The accuracy of the information is guaranteed as Im the one collecting it myself. Since Montra is your enemy, I personally think that this proposal will be a good deal for you.
Sila scratched his head; his information about Montra was indeed lacking. If he were to know more about Montra and the Heavenly Dragon Guild, he would have a better chance of winning against them.
What are you planning to do with the Invitation Card, Miss Yardpirun?
We are going to run a new business; collecting a fee in exchange for being teleported to Lost Grea City. For your information, Lost Grea City is one of the cities that many players wish to visit. Sadly, the missions to enter the city are too troubleso, and that stops them from accessing it. As such, we can make a lot of profit by utilizing the Invitation Card.
As a bonus, Mister Sila will benefit from our service as well. I heard from Bluebird that you get a fair share of the profit generated in Lost Grea City, so your earnings will increase with more people entering the city. Of course, Mister Sila can choose to do this business yourself. However you seem to lack manpower, so we, the Blue Pigeon Guild, want to be your business partner.
I see. Um... its not that Im against your idea or anything, Im just curious, but doesnt Blue already have the Invitation Card as well?
Yes, he does, but with two of them, we will be able to run the service in two branches. I plan to open the business in both Zhongsuyuan City and Grea City. With this, we will get more custors coming to Lost Grea City, especially since the war event is approaching; everyone wants to get their hands on a good weapon.
Miss Yardpiruns proposal sounds good to , so I dont see any reason to decline your offer... Anyway, my Invitation Cards are slightly different. Do you know why?
The left one is fine for us. It will teleport the user to the middle of the city while the other will teleport the user directly to the palace, answered Yardpirun.
Sila was surprised by how much she knew. Even he, the owner of both Invitation Cards, didnt know the difference between them. For the record, the latter Invitation Card was given to him by Orpheus; he was in a hurry to get the Eternal Onyx, so he gave Sila a card that would let him teleport straight to the palace.
Receiving Silas Invitation Card in her hand, Yardpirun said, Thank you. I have sent you all the information I have regarding the Heavenly Dragon Guild, and I will send you more if I get new information in the future. For the record, each piece of information that I sent will have a tag to indicate the certainty of the information. There are three levels: confird, waiting for confirmation, and uncertain.
Sila nodded and opened his system window to check the ssage. Unexpectedly, there was another unread ssage left in his inbox.
From the outside world 1/1
Imdiately co to our dojo after you see this ssage.
From Mora
Imdiately? exclaid Sila. He wondered if sothing happened to the dojo as he stood up and prepared to leave. It was at that ti that the Android King returned.
Its completed!! My new masterpiece. Oi, kid, where are you going? Co and get your armor first.
Sila was restless. Teacher Mora wasnt the type to give a lengthy explanation and the ssage was very short, so he couldnt tell what had happened at the dojo.
Will it take a long ti? I need to log out as soon as possible, sir.
It wont. Ti in the ga flows five tis faster than reality. If we talk for five minutes, it will only be a minute in the outside world.
His urgency aside, Orpheuss statent was correct; Sila still had so ti. He sat down and watched as Orpheus took out the armour he was proud of creating.
Behold the S-grade chanical God's Protection; the armor with Orichalcum as the base material, enhanced by the Eternal Onyx, and produced by the worlds greatest weaponsmith.
The thing in front of Sila didnt look like armor, or even clothing, at all. It looked like a simple crossbody bag made of black tal and engraved with the picture of three gears on top of a larger gear. Upon touching it, he discovered that its texture was soft and warm instead of hard and cold like tal.
It looks like a tiny bag, said Bluebird, and his opinion triggered the Android Kings Mind Oppression. He quickly hid himself behind Yardpirun.
I said it was armor, so its armor. Do you take for a fool? The ability of Eternal Onyx is evolve so it will adjust itself to the wearers preference. The longer you wear it, the more it will understand what kind of person you are and thus evolve into the most ideal armor that matches you. It doesnt have your information yet so it looks like this. All in all, I guarantee that its the best protection armor and you wont ever find sothing better. Even if Zeref were the one who produced it, he wouldnt be able to surpass this masterpiece.
Its not that Sila didnt trust Orpheus, but as Bluebird had said, it really looked like a bag. Regardless, he took it from Orpheuss hand.
Remove your clothing first. It needs to co into direct contact with your skin. Its also a type of clothing. Do you plan to wear clothes on top of other clothes?
Sila removed the upper part of his outfit and strapped the chanical God's Protection over his shoulder. It imdiately attached to his back, and Sila soon felt like he was jolted by electricity.
Ouch! Sila fell to the ground. Fortunately, the electric didnt continue to jolt him.
Oh, I forgot to tell you that you would feel a bit of pain, like a mosquito biting you, The Android King said in a carefree manner.
Even without looking at his back, Sila could tell that the armor was functioning. All the gears engraved onto the armor were spinning; the larger gear was rotating clockwise while the three smaller gears were rotating counterclockwise.
Will it take a long ti? Its vibrating. My back is numb.
Its analyzing your body and evolving itself accordingly. Learn to wait. Good things always co late.
As he was waiting for the chanical God's Protection to complete its analysis, Sila got his chance to ask the Android King about sothing that made him curious.
Mister Orpheus said that this armor would have the power of a weapon, right? The Right Arm of the Sealed One also states that I cant use a main weapon. So, what if I want to use a weapon? How can I do that?
Oh? There will be no problem. You can just use anything you want to use.
Eh? The system says I cant use it though.
Orpheus walked over to an empty chair and lifted it up. It depends on what you think using a weapon ans. For example, if I lift this chair up and smack Bluebird with it because that guy is so talkative that its annoying, will you say that the chair is a weapon?
Shuddering, Bluebird instantly transford into a tailorbird and perched on Yardpiruns shoulder, his body shaking non-stop.
In that case, I think the chair is considered a weapon, sir.
Exactly. Monster Soul gives you a lot of freedom. By saying you cant use a main weapon, it just ans you cant equip it. You wont get the relevant support skill or the options attached to a weapon.
The advantage of being able to equip an item was the ability to summon it back and forth from the system window. Nevertheless, Sila had Hidden Weapon Firing so summoning it wasnt a problem, though he had to manually return whatever he summoned to the system window. As for the support skill, it referred to weapon mastery skills like the one he used to possess when he used a dagger to kill slis; it would increase his base attack power when using the relevant weapon. Lastly, the options attached to a weapon ant the weapons special ability, like setting the enemy on fire with a slash, increasing health recovery rate while wielding the weapon, or enhancing the death penalty for anyone who is struck down by the weapon.
In conclusion, if Sila didnt plan to rely on these three advantages, he was free to use a main weapon like others.
The analysis was finally finished. All of the gears accelerated and shone a bright light that covered Sila.
Soon, the light faded away, and the gears stopped spinning. Orpheus brought a full-length mirror out and placed it in front of Sila so he could see himself.
Reflected in the mirror was Sila in black futuristic wuxia clothing. His short sleeves had two layers; the inner layer tightly embraced his skin from the shoulder to his elbow while the outer layer was loose and had a silver shoulder guard. The back of the armour was still engraved with the sa two-layered gears. His pants transford to jeans with a similar black color but slightly less saturated, and his shoes were deep black. Regardless of the appearance, the most important thing to Sila was being able to move comfortably. Even though Orpheus said that it was armor, it was more comfortable than any of his previous sets of clothing.
Feeling extrely satisfied with his new gear, Sila opened his system window to read its description and asked Orpheus so questions about it, before finally proceeding to log out.
