Gamers of the Underworld

Chapter 533 - Village



Chapter 533 Village

The crystal ball in front of Sherlock was covered with white rays from an explosion. After the explosion, the Teleport Portal was slanted to one side. The Little Fairy Princess, Arthur, Dragonborn, and the other gamers vanished.

“Lord Sherlock is full of surprises. What shall we do? Do you want to handle it yourself?” Bru asked Sherlock while he was looking in a daze at the crystal ball.

Sherlock shook his head and said, “Everything is still under control.”

Sherlock put his hand on the crystal ball and infused Mana into it. The images reappeared in the crystal ball.

Sherlock frowned. The images weren’t showing the expected forests. Instead, the images showed barren land.

The gamers and the Little Fairy Princess were teleported to a barren land.

“I didn’t know that the Fairies’ forest was on barren land. Does the Yggdrasill grow on such a barren land? Is there a problem with my knowledge? Or is the world changing too fast?” Bru asked puzzledly.

Sherlock didn’t answer Bru’s question because Bru knew the answer. The gamers were teleported to a different location. The Fairies who were controlling the Teleport Portal were affected by the explosion of the Sacred Light Bomb. Hence, the designated teleport location was changed. Only the gamers knew where they were. Sherlock wanted to locate the gamers, but it would take some time. Fortunately, the gamers were connected to the Mana source of Sherlock. If the gamers were teleported too far from Yggdrasill, Sherlock might have to make a trip.

NotWearingPants created a post requesting help on the discussion forum.

[Urgent, I’m waiting online.]

“Greetings, I’m NotWearingPants ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶

We are safe. We almost completed our mission but met with a problem at the last moment. We were supposed to be teleported to the Yggdrasill forest, which was also Dragonborn’s Strange Encounter Mission location. However, we arrived at a barren land. We don’t know where we are. Take a look and see if you can recognize it.

This is our location terrain map. If you recognize the location, please contact us immediately.”

The gamers replied to his post enthusiastically, but none of the gamers recognized the location. There were many hilly areas near Victoria City, but nobody knew the location.

NotWearingPants sat on a hilltop. He woke up after getting back online. He browsed the discussion forum for a long time, but he didn’t obtain any useful information.

The lost gamers asked the two accompanying NPC Fairies, but they didn’t know either. The Fairy that came from Yggdrasill said, “The attack of those vile Humans caused this problem. D*mn the Humans.”

The Fairy spoke grudgingly. After looking at the Victorians, the Fairy said, “Ah, I’m not referring to you. I’m talking about the Humans of the Godly Kingdom.”

The lost gamers didn’t have any useful information. However, it wasn’t wise to stay at their current location. They got ready and walked down the hill.

The gamers were experts in wilderness survival. Arthur and his companions didn’t require any special food. They only grabbed a handful of clay and cooked it in a pot before eating it.

Dragonborn and the Victorians also brought their dry rations. There were many hidden animals in the Surface World, so they could hunt them for food and nourishment. If not…

“We can eat this young Wyvern,” TakeASpearHit said jokingly. After Dragonborn, Arthur, and the other gamers were thrown into the Teleport Portal, the young Wyvern also flew into the portal.

The young Wyvern followed behind Dragonborn closely. It was wary and even hostile to Underground creatures like Arthur and his companions.

If Dragonborn hadn’t restrained him, the young Wyvern might have attacked Arthur and his companions.

After so many incidents, the Little Fairy Princess wasn’t guarded against the gamers, especially Arthur and his companions, who had protected her along the journey.

The Little Fairy Princess even expressed her regrets for treating Arthur and the other gamers coldly.

“I’m grateful, but not because I’m touched! It’s because… it’s my bad for treating all of you badly…”

Though she spoke softer and softer, the gamers could still understand her.

The Little Fairy Princess even told everyone her name.

After listening to the tongue-twisting name, the gamers made a decision.

“I think we should just call you Princess.”

“It’s only a name. We’re not really that concerned. We knew each other for so long. We’ll just call you Princess.”

“Yes, yes. We’ll call you Princess. I can’t understand the Fairy language.”

The Little Fairy Princess wasn’t surprised by their behavior. It was within her expectations.

The bodyguard of the Princess also told everyone his name, but the gamers couldn’t understand.

“We’ll call you Bodyguard. It sounds good.”

“Yes, yes. We can call you Ah Wei too.”

“Ah Wei isn’t suitable and auspicious. We haven’t completed the mission yet. If anything happens to him, it’s going to be your fault.”

“It’s only an alias. I don’t think it’s that serious.”

The bodyguard frowned when the gamers discussed his name. He wasn’t angry because they were discussing his name. He just couldn’t understand how they could laugh in such a difficult situation.

They were in a precarious situation. Who knew if the soldiers of the Godly Kingdom might appear and attack them? The current Victorians and the creatures of Eternal Kingdom weren’t able to fend off the crazy soldiers. The safety of the Princess should be their prime concern.

The gamers weren’t easily persuaded. When they went down the hill, the gamers were still chatting and laughing happily. They were even using the language that the Fairies couldn’t understand.

The common language that the gamers used.

To them, their journey would be fraught by danger and obstacles.

General Shidan sat glumly in the room. He had never felt so hopeless before.

His plan was perfect—defeat the Victorians, then capture the creatures of Eternal Kingdom and the Little Fairy Princess to obtain the King’s reward. After discovering the young Wyvern, he wanted to capture it for additional rewards.

However, he had failed on every front and ruined the relationship with Victoria City. When he launched an attack on the Victorians, Queen Victoria chased him and his army out of Goldshire Town.

Though Goldshire Town was supposedly part of the Godly Kingdom, it was actually under the control of Victoria City. General Shidan didn’t suffer serious casualties in this battle, but he was wary of the power of the Victorians. During the capture of the creatures of Eternal Kingdom and the Little Fairy Princess, he got to know the real power of the Victorians.

He didn’t complete his task. His army suffered losses and was chased out of Victoria City’s territory. General Shidan was defeated completely. The surviving Fairies spoke badly about him and threatened to inform the Fairy leaders about the incursion. The Godly Kingdom had to give the Fairies a satisfactory explanation.

Satisfactory explanation? What satisfactory explanation? General Shidan could envision his death sentence.

But he wouldn’t give up. He had one last chance.

“Get the Great Magicians. I want to capture them!” the grave General Shidan said to his aide.

The lost gamers didn’t take much time to walk to the foot of the hill since it wasn’t very tall. They didn’t encounter anyone along the way. There were no inhabitants in this desolate area. It was going to be a problem looking for food and water.

Due to the special nature of the mission, the gamers couldn’t go offline anytime they liked. They could only fix a special time to go offline and rest. According to the Fairy bodyguard, they should press on until they found a village belonging to the Humans or other races. Then they should get to know their environment before lowering their guard. However, his personal opinion was unable to change the behavior of the gamers. It was rare to have gamers who played the gamer for 24 hours straight.

The gamers wanted to complete the Strange Encounter Mission as soon as possible. They wanted to receive their rewards, but their lives were more important. Most of the gamers agreed to go offline and rest. This Strange Encounter Mission couldn’t be completed with teamwork.

The Fairy bodyguard became more curious and puzzled. Though they were of different races, the creatures of Eternal Kingdom and the Victorians were similar in terms of behavior and language. Even their resting times were identical. They also had green symbols above their heads, and they would doze off immediately and wake up without any signs. It was the same as his observations of Dragonborn.

If the Humans and the Orcs didn’t have different body sizes and appearances, the bodyguard would have thought they were the same race with similar habits.

When the bodyguard asked the gamers, the Victorians would give him a dull look or reply angrily.

“What? Are you saying that we’re like those Eternal pigs? That’s an insult. Impossible!”

The Victorians would purposely use the Surface World common language.

These were small incidents in this adventure, and the gamers weren’t bothered by the behavior of the bodyguard.

They didn’t wander for too long in the wilderness. On the third day, they came upon a Human village that greeted them with curses and fire torches.

The body of an Orc was huge and easy to identify. When the villagers saw the strange monsters with Humans and two Fairies, they fled in terror. Before long, all the villagers came out with pitchforks and fire torches.

Even in broad daylight, they held fire torches.

The villagers were fearful of Orcs, but Dragonborn felt that they didn’t know about Orcs.

Dragonborn observed that the inhabitants of Goldshire Town were fearful when they heard about the Orcs. They didn’t dare to take out their weapons to fight.

The gamers were wary. Dragonborn and Hoodlum went ahead to talk to the villagers while the bodyguard followed behind. He was worried about the interaction with the villagers.

The lost gamers didn’t know if this place was part of the Godly Kingdom. If the villagers informed the authorities of the Godly Kingdom, it would be big trouble if soldiers came to the village. The top priority of the bodyguard was to ensure the safety of the Princess.
