Chapter 560: The road ahead |
Liam smiled and shook his head. "I will be fine on my own. You guys should stick together and stay safe. Also…"
He looked at everyone sternly and added. "If what I am thinking is right… the government will be creating more and more issues now. There are going to be guild battles sanctioned."
"This is very important. You need to stay here and fight. Otherwise, we will lose the footing we have acquired."
"Mia, don't forget the divine temple quests." Liam gave instructions about everything that he could think of and then prepared to leave. "Oh, I almost forgot. Here, Mei Mei. I think this pendant will go well with your crown."
Liam tossed out the epic-grade pendant, which was the second item he had looted from the four.
<Briarwood Relic: Binds when equipped; +10 Intelligence>
<Active Skill: Reset the effect of another item ignoring the cool down>
<Passive Skill: 5% increase in nature damage and nature healing>
If the hunter's whistle was amazing, this was also another amazing item. Mei Mei immediately understood what Liam meant.
"Thanks, brother. I promise I won't disappoint you." She muttered under her breath. Liam pulled the little girl closer and hugged her tightly. "Don't be an idiot. Just stay safe and listen to Mia, Alex, and Yue."
"Ok." Mei Mei teared up, and she did not know why. For her brother to actually leave her here and go somewhere on his own… even she understood that this had to be a dangerous trip.
But once again, she was not strong enough for her to be actually able to help him and not be a burden. Otherwise, wouldn't he have taken her with him?
Shen Yue also had a similar expression on her face. "Please take care of yourself." She wanted to say more, but she stopped herself.
Liam looked at the long faces and chuckled, "Why are you two behaving like this? This is not some sort of farewell. We still have the tournament to win, and when I come back, if I don't find you all at Level 60 or higher, there is going to be some punishment."
"I will still be reachable by message. So you can message me anytime." Liam smiled and patted the little girl, giving a glance to Shen Yue.
He then turned to look at Derek and signaled him to walk with him. The two of them left the main guild hall, walking over to the pet stables.
"Derek, I will be counting on you to protect my sister."
"I understand, Sir. I will protect her even if I die."
"Heh. That's good, but it will be better if both of you are safe. But thanks. I owe you one for this." Liam patted him, and Derek silently nodded.
"Did you make arrangements? When are you moving?"
"In 2 days, sir."
"Good. Just tell Alex. She will take care of the accommodation. You have a sister, right? You should get her to play as well. It's a bit too late, but it's better than never playing the game. Do you understand?"
"Yes, sir." Derek nodded. The both of them reached the stables when unexpectedly, Liam received a huge shock.
Next to the stables, on a small clearing, one person alone was relentlessly practicing his swordplay. This was none other than the instructor whom Liam had recruited as his follower and named Asura.
And right at this moment, Liam couldn't help but feel that this name was very apt for this person. Though he had used it on a whim because it sounded cool, right now, this person might as well be the demon he was named after!
