When Isaac heard him say this sentence with frustration, he also frowned.
Under their feet, a stretch of ice was as far as the eye could see.
Snow covered everything, down to the smallest detail.
The trees, the rocks, and the few herbs that resisted the cold were all painted in immaculate white, making the environment stunning and arctic.
Even Rendy's shield had begun to thaw into the environment because of the snowflakes that had already covered its upper half.
"Are you sure of that?" His skepticism was very reasonable; after all, they only flew a few minutes at full speed.
But this feat on Rendy's part showed once again that she was far beyond what Isaac and Jane had imagined.
To answer Isaac's question, Jane indexed a large hill that was behind them. "Do you see this hill over there? It is on this hill that your guild's located." She says.
Isaac raises his eyebrows slightly for another reason. "I don't remember telling you that I was a member of this guild."
But Jane just smiled mysteriously.
"Finally, it doesn't matter." Seeing her desire to stay quiet, Isaac no longer insisted.
He then looked at Rendy.
The latter nods her head before escorting them to their destination; but this time, her momentum was much less, even if it far exceeded Isaac's.
Three minutes, the time it took her to reach the hill that was a kilometer away from them.
But once above the hill, Isaac's face was deformed with disbelief.
"What takes them to settle in a place so poor in food resources? Do they think they are in the game?" He murmurs with an unhappy ambiance.
But Jane and Rendy could hear him well. "What do I know about it? Maybe it's related to the location of the guild in the game?"
"...I know that the guild was in a cornered and difficult-to-access place in the game. It was purely a ploy to discourage the invaders. But we are no longer in the game. We have to think about other problems, such as food, trade, etc."
Jane squints her eyes when she hears her remarks. "To hear you, it looks like you are the founder of this guild."
"...Heh."
"Enough with the waffles; unless you want to stay there for the whole day," Jane replied with a pessimistic mindset when she saw Isaac's shifty smile.
Following her suggestion, Isaac found nothing to complain about.
He thus orders Rendy to land them near the only small mansion that was half swallowed up by the snow above the hill.
But barely landing in the inner courtyard of the mansion, the two players who were guarding outside noticed their presence!
Without losing one more second, the two apply by stopping Isaac and the two girls.
The two men had pale skin, similar to Maria's.
But unlike them, Isaac was unable to measure their levels; a detail that proved that they were beyond what his system could allow him to gauge.
[Karlos Necron. (Lvl:-/-)]
[HP: (-/-)]
[IP: (-/-)]
A handsome man barely measuring 5'11. He had short silvery but above all untidy, blood-red eyes, and a white shirt stained with blood.
His overall appearance aspired to depression and disinterestedness.
At a glance, Isaac was able to guess his identity without even needing the help of his system.
'This little guy is darker than in the game. As for his big brother...'
While mumbling, his eyes shift towards the other boy a little older than himself and longer than Karlos.
[Felix Necron. (Lvl:-/-)]
[HP: (-/-)]
[IP: (-/-)]
He was the opposite of his little brother, cause of his healthy model look.
He was dressed in a medal-winning white coat under which was a white jacket and a black shirt. Black leather pants and red-white Chuck-Taylor.
Beyond his extravagant look style, he also wore two pairs of earrings, gold chains, and fingers occupied with rings.
Nature spoiled him well with his appearance as a model prince.
The worst thing about all this is that his brother has no place by his side; whether it is his charm, his scope, his style, and his social character,... quite the opposite of Karl's.
'I knew they were rich, but not at that point. Am I the one who is too poor or is everyone creamy in this guild?' He then mumbles before frowning.
"Let me guess, is it our problematic vampire and his little brother the vampire of the full moon?"
This simple question that Isaac had just asked made the atmosphere so heavy that sparks of lightning began to crackle around Felix.
"To whom do I have the honor?" He asks in a sober and doubtful tone while his pupils turn blood red.
"Stop acting your imbecile; you're powerful enough to see my true pseudonym; Reaper." Isaac sarcastically answers his question while shaking his head towards Rendy who wanted to start hostilities.
Hearing his pseudonym in Isaac's mouth only made Felix more suspicious of him. Among those who know the name of his character, there are not only allies in this list.
'These two played a major role in the evolution of the guild. Full moon's vampire and that of the solar eclipse's. For a long time, I thought Karl was the weakest, but I realized my mistake too late after witnessing his bloody massacre during the eclipse where he almost destroyed the guild in my absence. Without the help of our summoner, Stella, everything would be lost.'
However, the brother duets look at each other and feel the same shock in each other's eyes.
The next moment, seeing that his brother had come to the same conclusion as him, Felix burst out laughing.
"Hahahahaha..., do my eyes play a prank on me? Is it you, our dear former guild leader?"
"Felix, do you think I'm in the mood to play with you?" He retorts with coercion while demonstrating part of his aura.
"..."
Seeing the glow of his aura, Felix and his brother frown without saying a word.
After a few secs, Felix sighs.
"Relax, man; I don't intend to bite you." He said while showing off his fangs.
"Do you think you can do it? Unless you want to reappear on one of the resuscitation steles with your brother."
Isaac's threats instantly erased the smile on his lips. "Tsk, you're too serious, man."
"Man?"
"...Guild master."
Isaac's smile finally came back after a minute of absence. "I prefer that."
After retorting this, he went to the mansion, followed by Rendy and Jane who seemed to be in a world apart.
To believe that her brain had trouble getting used to it with the information and the scene she had just witnessed.
'So he's the leader of this guild? In other words, his true identity is Jack!' She mutters in her mind while immediately getting herself away from Isaac.
Arrived in front of Karl, Isaac stopped while observing him. "How are you?"
"...Kinda good."
"Changes?"
"No, just a little too cold."
Hearing his answer, Isaac frowns. "Do you think you will know how to contrive it?"
"... Not sure."
"..."
After a brief silence, he sighs before caressing his head with an affectionate air before continuing his way inside the mansion. "Don't worry, I'll be your enemy if it happens.."
"...I'll be on your hands," Karl said in a static tone while following them.
Until then, nothing impressive; Isaac and the others found themselves in a gigantic living room that was almost unreal for a mansion of this size.
Forgetting Jane who was very busy with her thoughts, Rendy who has always lived in luxury, and Isaac who could not be impressed by so little, this detail could only go unnoticed in their eyes.
Once inside, he spotted an armchair a little further than the others, which faced the minibar.
"Are you the only ones present?" He asks while strolling towards the armchair.
Felix looks at his back while answering his question.
"At the moment, only five of us have joined us, the others will have to arrive very soon."
"Five? It's far too much, it's almost half of all the members together."
"...Why is it too much? I think that the faster we will be complete, the better it will be."
"I do not share this opinion. You know that the longer we take before appearing after the tutorial, the better it will be."
Felix and his brother snare their eyebrows following Isaac's words.
"It's true, but at the moment, no one has reappeared for six months now. I think everyone is out, they're just struggling to get here."
Hearing a familiar answer that Jane had given him about the last appearance known to all, he moves towards another subject related to the one they were debating. "...Tell me, Grim Reaper, how long did it take you to appear at the end of the tutorial?"
"Five months, almost at the same time as my brother who was an hour behind me."
"...Five months?" Dissatisfaction instantly distorted Isaac's face. "It's humiliating, coming from a member of Pure Blood."
"...What are you accusing me of? It's not as if I was the oldest to appear after the end of the tutorial. According to the others, I am rather an ace among the...-
"Stop comparing yourself with people from outside, I'm talking to you about those who are with you in the guild. But above all, where is the deputy head?"
"Sasha? She went to do [Farming*] in a dungeon that recently appeared at the foot of the mountain."
(Farming: does the same thing several times to advance his character. Leveling up.)
"And the other two?"
"Steven is currently in the basement to boost his forge level, Stella is doing her best with her golems to give the guild the same appearance it had in the game."
Felix's explanations did not leave Isaac indifferent, unlike his other answers.
"Huh? Our summoner is also here?" He asks for an uneasy air.
"Yes, she is also the first to come here and build this mansion. It was only after my brother and I joined her and old Steeve, followed by the holy Knight (Sasha)."
"..."
Seeing Isaac thoughtful, Rendy went behind the minibar and took a whiskey and glass to serve her master.
Her actions made Felix and his brother notice her more than before.
But apart from their mesmerizing sights, they did nothing expected.
"Master, please." She said, handing a half-filled glass to Isaac.
The latter looks at her briefly. "For now, lead me to These two." He orders the brothers while accepting Rendy's glass.
In one sip, he emptied his whisky glass and looked at Jane while returning the glass to Rendy. "Would you mind waiting for me here? I wouldn't be long."
The latter nods her head following Isaac's proposal.
As a result, Isaac and Rendy were escorted by Felix who asked his brother to stay close to Jane
Just like that, the two groups were divided.
Felix led Isaac, Rendy, and Cindy who was still in the shadow of her master, into the next room that led to the basement through a teleportation portal.
---
The reason why some players keep their nicknames (like Isaac) rather than their real names (Sasha, Felix) is partly related to the right of housing.
Those who fully bought this hosting right like Isaac inherited not only all their legacies but also all the other data they had saved in GLO.
[Stay healthy and fit, only the most privileged will be able to make good decisions at the right time.] This isn't a joke.
