Reign of the Hunters

Chapter 111: Not thirsting for fame and glory (Part1)

The night was as dark as ink, concealing everything in the land with darkness. Ye Ci activated her Brooch of Deceit, disguising herself as a dark-clothed Gnomish Rogue. The tiny body size and clothing were impossible to spot on such a dark night.

Her pace was quick, darting through the streets like a shadow, leaving behind no traces of her presence. Before leaving Red Lake City, Ye Ci went to her personal storage and stored everything she had. She also took out four 24-slots bags from her storage that she had acquired while clearing dungeons. She was planning to sell them. Although they only cost a thousand gold coins each, it was still money, right? But Ye Ci now found a better use for them. She summoned Ol' Four and tied them all onto his body.

Because of a Hunter's need to have a quiver, it meant that the Hunter class would have one less slot for their bag. In the game, only a Hunter's pet could carry bags, and each pet could only carry 4 at most. Not only that, the bags carried by pets were different from those carried by a player: they had a weight limit. If the weight limit was exceeded, the pet could not run or be dismissed. Other than that, a pet could not pick up items by themselves. Everything had to be stored into their bags by their owners.

In reality, a pet's bags were just there to appear cool. There was nothing extraordinary about them. Everything had to be done manually anyways.

Ye Ci originally wanted to use Ol' Three as her mule, as his Loyalty was already maxed out. It would not go on a strike even if it received no food. However, Ol' Three's carrying capacity was lower than that of Ol' Four's. Ye Ci chose Ol' Four in the end, as she did not know exactly what Steel Blooded Battle Spear had in store in their warehouse. If there were a lot of heavy stuff in there, it would be a shame if she chose to use Ol' Three instead.

After all the preparations were made, Ye Ci dismissed Ol' Four and headed to the ships docked at the gate of Red Lake City. After paying the necessary fees, she arrived at Bluestone City, where the Steel Blooded Battle Spear's guild encampment was stationed. She was unable to enter Steel Blooded Battle Spear's guild encampment directly through guild management NPCs as she was no longer a member of the guild. The only way she could enter was to travel to the city that the guild was stationed at and enter the encampment through an NPC in the city by searching for the guild encampment using its serial number.

Ye Ci had always had good memory. She remembered that the serial number for Steel Blooded Battle Spear's guild encampment was No.491.

"What is the serial number of the guild encampment that you wish to enter?"

"491."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

After paying a fee of 50 gold coins, Ye Ci appeared outside of a guild encampment. From afar, the wall of the encampment was not high, and the crude archer tower told her that the guild encampment's level was not even 3.

Ye Ci saw a guild flag hanging on top of the not-so-tall encampment gate. It was a flag that she was extremely familiar with. What else could it be if not the flag of Steel Blooded Battle Spear?

Although it was a level 2 guild encampment, there were a lot of NPCs patrolling the perimeter. After Upwards Ho!'s defeat to Full Moon's Night, the other guilds noted that Upwards Ho! did not have many sentries patrolling in their guild. All of them began to purchase a lot of sentries for their guild as a measure of security. Ye Ci hid herself in the furthermost edge of the map, observing the western wall. There seemed to be less sentries in the area.

After confirming a point of entry, Ye Ci entered Stealth and began to approach the western wall.

The sentries in the guild encampment had an alert range of 5 yards. They would automatically attack any players that were not part of the guild that were within 5 yards of them. Although they were actively moving around as they patrolled the area, avoiding them was an easy task for Ye Ci. She easily avoided the dozen sentries patrolling outside the wall and was soon at the bottom of the wall.
