Chereads / The Merry Knight / Chapter 61 - The Graceful Priestess

Chapter 61 - The Graceful Priestess

"Goodness! What are you all eating? After so many days, you still haven't taken down the 'Gang Building Order'. Do you want to see the number one gang fall into someone else's hands?"

Feng Yun Jin Long was extremely frustrated. Upon seeing the announcement from the Old Wine Auction House, he immediately returned from his training and cursed his useless subordinates.

"Regardless, we must be the first to establish a gang."

The frown on Feng Yun Mo Long's forehead deepened. He didn't care about being the number one expert in the world, or the number one in the reputation ranking, or even the number one in the pet ranking. But the number one gang in the world was his only pursuit. He absolutely could not let others take the lead and occupy it.

Last time when the system issued the "Gang Building Order", he was calm but almost lost the chance to be the first to establish a gang. However, looking at this announcement, the opportunity has come back to him.

The "Gang Building Order" was his for the taking, and a smile appeared on the tightly furrowed face of Feng Yun Mo Long.

When Hao Tian heard the news that the Old Wine Auction House was auctioning off the "Gang Building Order", he turned to look at Yin Hun Bu San beside him and said coldly, "Wow, this number one expert in the world is amazing. While others are struggling to get their hands on the 'Gang Building Order', he generously puts it up for auction. How ironic."

"Young master, I…I…"

Yin Hun Bu San looked at the cold and icy appearance of young master Hao Tian, and almost knelt down on the ground. He knew young master Hao Tian's current mood, and if things didn't go well, he would be punished.

Yin Hun was feeling bitter. What could he do? Any silver BOSS over level thirty had a certain chance of dropping the "Gang Building Order". However, he had already organized his subordinates to kill four or five silver BOSSes, and still hadn't gotten the "Gang Building Order". He really wanted to know what the drop rate of the "Gang Building Order" was.

"Yin Hun, is this the BOSS you found? You have already fought it three or four times, and the 'Gang Building Order' still hasn't dropped."

"Young master, I will immediately go and look for BOSSes again, and organize people to kill them."

Yin Hun was feeling so bitter. If the BOSS didn't drop the "Gang Building Order", what else could he do?

"Kill BOSSes? Of course you have to kill them, but if the 'Gang Building Order' still doesn't drop, do you want me to watch as others establish a gang?"

"Young master, I…"

"Are you not preparing money for the exchange? Do I still need to remind you?"

Hao Tian was on the verge of exploding, tempted to give his subordinate a hard slap for being too slow to react.

"Look at that knight's horse, it's so fast. I wonder what kind of horse it is. The rider must be a rich person."

A player watched as I rode my horse at a rapid pace and couldn't help but express their admiration.

"It seems like an ordinary horse," another player replied.

"An ordinary horse? Ordinary horses only have a speed increase of 3, can they be that fast?"

The other player was stumped.

Hehe, although my horse is an ordinary one, my base movement speed is already high. Thus, I ran very fast and caught the attention of many players along the way.

As I ran farther and farther away, I gradually entered a mountainous area, and the players became sparser. Turning a corner at a small stream, I saw a graceful figure struggling with a red-haired lion. But it wasn't really a struggle, the girl was getting bullied.

The slender figure was that of a delicate and pretty girl. While she might not have the peerless beauty of Li Tong, her pretty face and graceful figure made her a rare beauty. In particular, the girl exuded a fresh and quiet feeling that made people feel very approachable. Coupled with her elegant temperament, she was unforgettable.

The delicate girl was a priest, dressed in a simple priest robe, and held a short wand that continuously healed her while she kept running away.

For a priest without much attack or defense, the red-haired lion was her nemesis. The priest girl could only use magic "healing spells" repeatedly to escape death at the lion's claws. But she was powerless to kill the red-haired lion, and her eventual demise was inevitable.

The pretty priest girl noticed me as I looked at her from afar. She didn't say anything and kept using "healing spells" to heal herself while running away.

"Do you need help?"

I finally couldn't help but speak. It was such a blow to be ignored by this elegant priestess girl. Does she think I am incapable of helping her or lack charm?

"Thank you, I do need help."

"If you needed help, you should have said so earlier."

I grumbled quietly, drawing out a level 20 trash sword and attacking the red-haired lion. I didn't want others to know about my abnormal strength, so I hid it using ordinary weapons in public.

"Ding dong, Stone City. Player Qingzhu is sending a team request. Will you team up?"

"Team up."

After a few slashes, the level 20 red-haired lion fell under my feet. Although I hid my strength, this level 20 red-haired lion was still too weak for me.

"Wow, you're amazing!"

After Qingzhu, the elegant priestess girl, teamed up with me, she immediately used "Healing Spell" to restore my health. But after using it once, the once-lively red-haired lion suddenly fell and became a corpse.

"Lucky me, it was a critical hit."

"Thank you. I really didn't know what to do without your help."

Although Qingzhu spoke calmly and without any intense gratitude, it was evident that she sincerely appreciated my help.

"Why didn't you ask for help earlier? As a priest, you couldn't handle this red-haired lion alone."

This was something that puzzled me.

"I didn't know if you could handle this red-haired lion, so I didn't ask for help. And if you wanted to help me, you would have done so naturally, so I didn't say anything."

"That's a strange way of thinking, but it leaves me speechless."

"How did a priest like you end up here? And why isn't anyone teaming up with you?"

This was also something that puzzled me.

"Why? Are you checking my ID?"

Qingzhu didn't answer my question directly, but instead retorted.

"I did not anticipate that this delicate and demure beauty would respond in such a way, completely exceeding my expectations and leaving me speechless once again.

"Hehe…"

Upon seeing my embarrassed expression, the elegant Qingzhu suddenly burst into laughter, her gentle smile accentuating her composed demeanor and adding a touch of grace, evoking a sense of enchantment.

"Hahaha…"

I too joined in the laughter, infected by Qingzhu's mirth, silently rubbing the back of my head. Her words had placed me in a passive position, but also filled me with warmth.

"Is this how you normally interact with girls? It doesn't seem to be very successful."

"What does that have to do with anything?"

I was at a loss for words.

"My friends and I formed a team and came here, but they went offline to rest. I was also planning to go offline when I suddenly discovered a hidden quest. I decided to check it out and unwittingly attracted this red-haired lion. If it weren't for you, I would have had to return to the city for free."

"May I see the hidden quest?" As soon as I heard those words, I perked up.
