Zhan Long (Ep-101 and many more)

Chapter 243 - Please Count Me In

"Huaaa..."

The bushes shook, and our group of players from [Zhan Long] charged across the edge of the forest, quickly entering the depths of Arctic Fox Forest. Behind us, Fushen Thousand Blade pursued with approximately 200 players from [Vanguard]. Old K and Thousand Suns Over Snowy Lands carried their weapons and led some Mages in the rear. [Zhan Long] already had three third advancement mages and [Dimensional Leap]'s effect was enough to let them avoid being killed, not to mention that they had powerful spells to kill others. It was best to leave them at the rear.

"Qing Qian, how far are we from the blacksmith we are looking for?" I asked.

Yue Qing Qian bit her lips and said, "Not that far, he should be at the foot of that mountain, mining ores..."

"Yeah, alright..."

......

Our group of players entered the forest and quickly moved forward. The view of the endless mountain range had a stunning tinge of scarlet on the horizon. The scarlet tinge effect was from the Scarlet Copper minerals. This whole mountain was rich in minerals, ranging from Scarlet Copper all the way to Blood Gold. Therefore, it had become the place where people with [Mining] skills would grind their skill Lvs.

"It's right over there, we'll reach it soon!"

Yue Qing Qian pointed into the distance, as she grabbed my arm with her free hand. She smiled, "Big Brother Xiao Yao, let's get there quickly..."

I was a full fledged Swordsman, so my movement speed couldn't possibly match Yue Qin Qian's, who put all of her stat points into agility. As she dragged me through the bamboo forest, Old K and the others readied their sharp blades and followed us. On the side of the bamboo forest, we could hear "Ding ding ding" mining sounds from afar. There were even Lv 62 elite wolves howling nearby, which really surprised me. Someone who would dare to mine here alone must be an extraordinary person!

The smell of fresh dirt filled my nose as Yue Qing Qian brought me to some nearby bushes. Looking in front, I saw a player wearing full body armor and wielding a hammer and a shovel, mining away at a silver ore node. This person seemed to be around 28 years old, his face brimming with sweat and unspoken stories. However, the way he swung his hammer was extremely accurate; he always managed to hit the weakest parts of the silver ore. "Keng keng" he dug away and in just a moment, he extracted a huge chunk of ore.

"Hi!" Yue Qing Qian moved forward and smiled sweetly, "I brought the person who wanted to meet you here..."

"Oh?"

The mining youth turned his body and a few lines appeared at the top of his head-

Palace Decree Lv 60 Golden Knight
City: Ba Huang City
Guild: Legendary Myth
Position: Junior Member

......

Palace Decree looked at me and laughed, "Xiao Yao Zi Zai, it really is you. I never would have thought that I would get to meet such a legendary figure that managed to completely turn Ba Huang City on its head!"

I laughed modestly, "Say what you will about me but I'm really just a wandering nobody that ends up being chased by everyone. But anyways, this time I was looking for you because I need you to help forge a sword for me...."

Palace Decree was astounded, "Oh? From what I know, the Sword Forging Blueprints and ores that players get nowadays are only for Lv 60 and below. In Ba Huang City, there should be countless blacksmiths with Lv 6 Blacksmithing."

I shook my head, "Unfortunately, this blade of mine doesn't require a Lv 6 blacksmith, it requires a Lv 10 one!"

"Ah? Lv 10..." Palace's Decree's eye flickered with some doubt, "Guild Master Xiao Yao, could you show me your raw materials first? To be honest, I don't really believe that you'd really need a Lv 10 blacksmith at this point of the game to make a sword for you..."
