Chapter 83: Everchanging Temper

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Five bunches of Frost Lotuses were very easy to be distributed.

Grand Magi had kept his end of the deal and gave Qin Ruo a bunch of Frost Lotus as reward for the quest. Soon after that, Qin Ruo sent out a voice message into the Party Channel. “You can come over now. While the person who’s looking for me hasn’t arrived yet, take the ladies and leave this place.”

“How about you?”

Violetmoon Devilite blinked her beautiful large eyes and turned her head to look at him.

Before Qin Ruo could reply, Grandiose Dragon, who had felt uncomfortable long before that, interrupted their conversation with an enigmatic tone and said, “Why would you worry about him? Didn’t you hear what he said? He’s the one who spared that Priest from Netherspirit’s Claw... Since he’s so capable, what’s going to happen to him then?” After he said what he wanted to say, he quickly hurried the two ladies to leave the vicinity at once.

“Since we’ve rewarded him, we shouldn’t hold him up anymore.”

Qin Ruo could not help but furrow his brows a little. ‘ This guy... He actually wanted to turn his back and betray me the moment he obtained the Frost Lotus. It would be a true wonder if a person like him ever got girls to like him!’

As expected, not only Violetmoon Devilite voiced up to refute him, even Blue Princess who seemed to have a good impression of him could not help but frown a little.

“How can you say that?! Qin Ruo ended up bumping into these goons from Netherspirit’s Claw because he was aiding us in completing our quest. We’re sentimental and reasonable people. We’re not supposed to leave just like that!”

The words that came out of Violetmoon Devilite’s mouth was well received by her brother, Grand Magi. He spoke in a deep voice as he backed her up.

“That’s right! We can’t just leave like that. Although that Beastblood Berserker has spoken nice words, agreeing to give Qin Ruo a chance in a fair duel, we have no idea if he’s going turn his back on his words or not, right? I say, if we stay back here, Ironjail River will still have something to worry about. If we all leave Qin Ruo alone, they’ll be responsible for anything that happens here later on, right?” Well, one could not deny that Grand Magi had considered a problem that never crossed Qin Ruo’s mind.

“Alright then. But whatever happens later, you guys mustn’t interfere directly!” Qin Ruo pondered for a moment before he agreed to let the others stay. Grand Magi and the others watching his back was a good thing. The rate of an unwarranted incident occurring would be largely reduced. It was just that... Let us pray that today’s incident would not bring them troubles in the future...

“You can rest assured that we’ll only observe the battle from the side at all times. We’ll record the process of the entire battle. If they ever dare try something funny, we’ll post it up to the website and let all the players see the true color of their faces.”

After Grand Magi made the agreement to stay behind with Qin Ruo, Grandiose Dragon naturally had nothing more to say. After he glared at Qin Ruo, he grunted in disdain and told Qin Ruo, “I’ll see how you’re going to put a player from a League to the ground. It better not turn out to be some sort of bullsh*t you’re using to boost yourself with.”

Qin Ruo did not argue with him about an issue that would shows its outcome soon enough. After taking a look at the time, it seemed that there was still approximately 20 minutes for them to familiarize themselves with the environment in the Snow Domain.

***

At that moment, the several people on the other side were also staring at Qin Ruo and his other party members around him from top to bottom. The subject of their conversation merely switched between several topics such as “the gorgeous chicks, Violetmoon Devilite and Blue Princess”, and also “that Tier 3 Aquamancer who did not fear death as he challenged Crackpot”.

But after they discovered that Violetmoon Devilite and Blue Princess were actually female companions of Qin Ruo and Grandiose Dragon respectively, the topic of conversation among those other side began to shift and focus more on Qin Ruo—a Tier 3 Aquamancer who challenged the Tier 4 Radiant Priest, Crackpot and won the duel out of luck was surely surprising news for people to talk about.

As they were talking among each other, all of a sudden, one of the members of Netherspirit’s Claw was reminded of one thing. He looked at a Bowmaster who stood beside him, also known to be the only member from Bauhinia League in the vicinity called “Bloodman”.

So, he asked, “Oh yeah, Bloodman, aren’t you very close to Slayer’s Heart?”

Bloodman nodded and said, “We’re alright.”

“Then help us ask about what really happened back then during the duel at the entrance of the Ruins. Crackpot’s also a professional player. His equipment and level should also be more powerful than that Tier 3 Aquamancer’s. Logically speaking, he should not have lost to a rookie like that.”

The moment that player opened his mouth, the others around him also chimed in one after another.

“I think what Crackpot said was the truth. Under normal circumstances, how would it be possible for that brat to actually match him?”

“Eighty percent of it was due to the lighting in the area being too dark... A Tier 3 rookie actually won in a fight with a member of our Netherspirt’s Claw, hmph!” After having a clash of opinions, those several people jumped to their own conclusion.

Bloodman did not argue with them though. After all, the incident had spread all over the place. The reputation of Netherspirit’s Claw was indeed in a bad state for the moment. If he ever tried to argue with them, it would look like he was trying to shame Netherspirit’s Claw in front of the others. He only added a simple point.

“Probably. From what I heard from Slayer’s Heart, they were all focused on snatching the key at that time. None of them paid any attention to other things around them.”

“Huh?”

After hearing what Bloodman had to say, they were a little discouraged. They first thought that Bloodman or Slayer’s Heart would argue with them a little. Then, maybe they would have had a direction to strain towards. Currently, it was just meaningless for them to speculate on their own.

It seemed that the only thing they could do now was to wait for Crackpot’s arrival. Their minds, which were inflamed with passion could only be extinguished by the outcome of the match between Qin Ruo and Crackpot.

After he witnessed his party members engaging the respawned snow monsters one after another, Bloodman could not help but shake his head. He was unable to refrain himself from laughing a little. Soon after, he was suddenly reminded of something. He then quietly sent a voice message to Slayer’s Heart.

“Where?

“Are you interested in this?”

Heart’s voice echoed through the chat. He sounded very direct as well. Bloodman sheepishly smiled as he cut through the corners and went straight to the point. “It’s like this, your newly associated little brother... is right here with me.”

“He’s not my little brother. He’s a friend,” Slayer’s Heart’s voice echoed through the voice chat to correct Bloodman.

“Alright, alright.” Bloodman once again compromised. “If you say he’s a friend, then he’s a friend of yours. But your new friend has run into some trouble now.”

“Speak clearly!” Heart’s voice suddenly sounded more dignified.

“That little brat has guts, I have to give him that. He just offended Crackpot not long ago and he’s now out here with his new girlfriend wandering around. He coincidentally bumped into me and my party over here...”

Slayer’s Heart paused for a moment.

“You’re still grinding your level with those people from Netherspirit’s Claw, aren’t you?”

“Who else?” Bloodman sullenly refuted.

“It’s not your people who’s finding fault with him, right?”

Bloodman could not stop himself from laughing. “How can that be possible, right? No matter what, he’s still your friend. Not to mention, they would never try to stand up for Crackpot over such matters... However, they’re a little unconvinced by what happened not long ago back at the entrance of the Ruins. So, they’ve contacted Crackpot and told him to come over here. They want the two of them to have another duel right here!”

“He agreed? Hmph! He has the temper of a calf, just like you. You two seem to have good chemistry with each other.

“Then that settles it. You just observe from the side and prevent anyone from trying something funny. That should be enough...” Slayer’s Heart only asked something simple of Bloodman. He left Bloodman, who tipped him off, speechless for a moment.

“Say... aren’t you feel even a little worried?!”

Only Slayer’s Heart’s laughter came echoing from the other end of the voice chat. “Is there anything for me to worry about? Oh, right, remember to record their battle and send it to me later on.” The moment he was done talking, he hung up.

Bloodman revealed a dignified expression on his face as the look in his eyes seemingly changed when he looked at that Tier 3 Aquamancer on the opposite side after his conversation with Slayer’s Heart.
