After spitting on the corpses of [Flying Dragon], Han Bei Song growled, “To think that [Flying Dragon] would have a day like this. Motherf*cker has killed so many of [Blood Contract]’s members. There were even many times when we’ve had hundred men teams grinding events that have failed because of [Flying Dragon]. It got even worse afterwards. They ended up directly attacking and PKing us. Bastards! This time, I, Han Bei Song, will sit here for three days and three nights to have my revenge!”
I stepped onto a green moss covered stone and looked into the distance map and said, “Guard these bodies for three days? Isn’t that a bit too much, [Blood Contract] only has so many people? If you guys just guard [Flying Dragon] you might piss off Soaring Dragon. If the 20,000 players from [Flying Dragon] all come at once, heh heh, [Blood Contract] might have to go back empty handed…..”
Han Bei Song shot a glance at me, then broke into a smile, “No problem. We still have allies like [Zhan Long]. Besides, I’ve become friends with the Guild Masters of [Misty Palace], [Winds of Battle], and [Ruined Bones] recently and we’ve talked about making an alliance. Once these three guilds merge, then we’ll easily have more than 10,000 members. Heh heh, then we’ll be able to make our stand in Ba Huang City. Soon we’ll become of equal standing with the other big guilds like [Vanguard], [Prague], and [Flying Dragon]!”
“Oh?” I was puzzled, “[Misty Palace], [Winds of Battle], and [Ruined Bones] want to merge?”
“Yea!” Han Bei Song continued, “It’s something I heard from Who’s Blue recently.”
Under the maple tree, Who’s Blue carried a Mage staff, leaning it against the tree to rest and nodded, “Yea, I heard Misty Clouds bring it up. He said that, separated, they were weak but together, they would be strong, and so [Misty Palace], [Winds of Battle], and [Ruined Bones] were going to merge. On top of that, I’ve also heard that Fighting in Blood, Sword Reborn and Misty Clouds have been meeting offline and have settled on a treaty. This new guild would be pretty united, all that’s missing right now is something to catalyze their creation….”
TL Note: an idiom referring to the fact that they’ll make their mark on the world and prove that they’re the top boss.
I couldn’t help but smile, “Oh? If they already decided to merge, why do they need a catalyst?”
Who’s Blue replied, “The three big guilds will merge into one and become a super guild. They need an extremely strong person to become their Guild Master. On top of that, this person needs to have a sound reputation that everyone knows, but after the recent Rise of the Heroes tournament, Misty Clouds had the highest achievement, and even he was only one of the top 32 players. His CBN ranking is only 87th, and so….. They need to wait for the right moment. Once someone from within the three big guilds suddenly has an exponential increase in battle potential, then, they can merge!”
I nodded and said, “Not bad, they’ve thought over this thoroughly. If they don’t have someone to assert absolute dominance become the Guild Master, then this new guild will definitely suffer a lot of slander. Besides, Ba Huang City has too many large-scale guilds. Firestone Canyon, Ba Huang Forest has PK’s every day. If they don’t have a fist that’s strong enough, they’ll never be able to take hold of a piece of land long enough to survive.”
Who’s Blue slyly smiled and said, “Mhm, that’s very true.”
Han Bei Song optimistically said, “Uh…. I just got Misty Clouds message. He says he wants to borrow both of our Healers, Who’s Blue and Not Red Yet…. for a quest….”
“Oh? What level quest?” I asked, puzzled.
“An SSS tier quest…..” Han Bei Song broke into a grin, “Misty Clouds’ luck isn’t bad, to actually get an SSS tier main quest. Heh heh, on top of that it’s a large-scale quest and has a 50 person limit, so he came to us to borrow some help. Rent fee……1000G per person. Besides, assuming we do complete the quest, we might get even more compensation…..”
