Chapter 20 - Twisted Forest

Hearing this, Seuss completely understood what Desert-Lone Eagle wanted to do.

Sanctuary was a new game. The gaming gods in the past might not be able to maintain their former glory in this game.

Seuss, who had flooded the world announcement three times in a row yesterday, was the most famous person in the world where the gaming gods couldn't be guaranteed.

If the Desert Guild wanted to rise, they could only rely on Seuss's fame.

Either Seuss joined the Desert Guild and integrated his fame with the Desert Guild, using this to help the Desert Guild increase its reputation.

Or the other way was to use Seuss's reputation as a stepping stone, like what they were doing now.

Desert-Lone Eagle's action now meant they chose the second option without a doubt. The only thing Seuss couldn't figure out was why they didn't consider pulling him into the Desert Guild.

Although Seuss had never thought of joining any guild, the Gift from the Ruler of Time seemed to be very powerful at the moment. He absolutely could not tell anyone, not even when it's the first time of each day.

The more people around him, the more likely he was to be exposed. This cut off the possibility of Seuss joining any guild.

No matter what, Seuss was still very unhappy that Desert Guild wanted to step on him to climb up the ranks.

Suddenly someone patted Seuss on the shoulder. He was shocked.

It should be known that Seuss was still used to standing in the shadows. With his current stealth stats, even if he did not use the stealth skill, he could still hide from most people just by standing in the shadows.

Before Seuss could react, a voice came from behind.

"Brother Stars, you're quite fast."

It was the voice of Daydreamer. Seuss relaxed instantly.

He turned around and saw Daydreamer, Madman, and two other familiar figures.

"Let me introduce you. This is Sirius, one of the best mages. This is Heart of Holy Light. Although he is a little pessimistic, he is definitely a practitioner of the knight's spirit. You can always rest assured about the things that are handed to him."

The four people in front of him were the ones who had taken Seuss with them at the very beginning, exploring and adventuring.

"Stars." Seuss gave his game name.

The first time they met, he was a complete novice in the game. Now, he was someone who could fight alongside them.

"We've heard your name many times and have long remembered it. However, I didn't expect the famous Stars to be so young." Sirius waved the red staff in her hand and smiled.

The appearance of the game character was based on the player's appearance. There would be some slight changes, but the appearance and age were similar.

Just like the first time he saw Daydreamer, Seuss could tell that he was a middle-aged man in his forties.

Sirius in front of him did not look old. She was only in her twenties.

Unlike the cheerful Sirius, Knight Heart of Holy Light had a worried expression on his face, as if something bad was about to happen.

However, Seuss did not mind, because he knew that Heart of Holy Light was actually an extremely pessimistic person who would think in the worst direction when facing everything.

However, he would not give up on his efforts just because something bad was about to happen. On the contrary, he believed that there would be a good outcome and he would continue to work towards that direction.

"We definitely won't succeed this time. Since the first clear of the dungeon has such a high reward, the difficulty will definitely be terrifying," Heart of Holy Light said dejectedly.

"Hahaha." The 2-meter tall Daydreamer slapped the 1.9-meter tall Heart of Holy Light on the head and turned to Seuss. "Don't mind him. He's like this."

"It's alright." Seuss naturally understood, and only gave a slight smile.

Looking at Desert-Lone Eagle, who was still giving a speech on the rooftop, Daydreamer said with a serious expression, "Brother Stars, are you just going to watch these people step on you?"

"So you are saying?" Seuss asked.

Seuss knew about the grudge between Daydreamer and the Desert Guild so he knew what these words meant when he said it now.

They just wanted to ruin Desert Guild's plan with him.

Whatever the enemy wanted to do, they could not let them succeed.

It just so happened that Seuss didn't like the players from the Desert Guild too so it wasn't a bad idea to disrupt their plans with Daydreamer.

"When the dungeon opens, we will immediately clear the dungeon. If they don't get the first clear of the dungeon, they can forget about gaining any reputation!" Daydreamer's tone was very heavy. This was the first time Seuss saw him being so serious.

"That's right. We can't give them the first clear of the dungeon." Sirius added.

Madman was still holding the shield and had a new helmet on his head. He said in a muffled voice, "Destroy them!"

Only Heart of Holy Light was still by the side, looking at the rising sun with a face full of worry.

It seemed like Daydreamer wasn't the only one who had a grudge against Desert Guild, but rather all of them had a grudge against Desert Guild.

Seuss was naturally happy to be able to strike down the Desert Guild, but there was something he had to say.

"Desert Guild never invited me to join them," Seuss said calmly." Not even once!"

"Not even once?" Daydreamer was a little surprised as he asked doubtfully, "They really need fame now, but they have never invited you. This can only mean one problem…"

"What's the problem?" Madman asked.

"It can only mean that they have found a stronger teammate!" Heart of Holy Light did not look at the sky anymore. He lowered his head and said, "This means that it is basically impossible for us to obtain the first clear."

The first half of what Heart of Holy Light said was right. This was the only reason why the Desert Guild didn't invite Seuss.

Although there was some conflict between Seuss and the Desert Guild, to be honest, it was just a small matter. This was because Seuss hadn't suffered a loss. Instead, the Desert Guild was the one that had suffered a loss.

As for the second half of the sentence, it was just the habitual pessimism of Heart of Holy Light. There was no need to bother about it.

However, one thing was for sure. The first clear of the dungeon would not be so easy to get.

Finally, it was seven. The gate of the City Defence Office opened, and hundreds of players rushed in.

The small building actually managed to contain all the players.

When Seuss and the rest entered, they realized that the scene inside was completely different.

From the outside, it looked like a small building, but from the inside, it was incomparably large. It was like a plaza with the City Defence Officer standing in the middle.

Even so, no one charged toward the City Defence Officer because there were dozens of windows on one side of the plaza with the words "Stones of Light Sales Counter" written on them.

On the other side were countless teleportation circles. Right now, only one teleportation circle lit up.

There was a wooden sign behind the teleportation circle. On it was written: Twisted Forest Entry Point.
