Chapter 104 - Plaza

1629 Words
The square below them all was like a tall mountain that had been cut into two halves by a very sharp weapon, the entire layer of rock on the surface was as smooth as if it had been scraped by a sharp object. The flight transport soul artifact controlled by the elder in charge of hunting area number 40 began to land smoothly in a corner of the plaza below them. After arriving at the plaza, the elder in charge immediately told everyone to get down and rest. Meanwhile, the middle-aged man just walked towards a high platform in front of them all. The middle-aged man in charge of hunting area number 40 just stood there as if waiting for someone. Then the soul transport artifact that they had all just ridden had suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight, it was like the soul artifact had been pulled back into the space ring that was on the middle-aged man's finger. “It seems that the great flying sword is not private! The secret service organization may give a flying transport soul artifact just to transport people who passed this year's assessment!” William muttered under his breath after seeing it all. William had guessed correctly, such an air transport soul artifact couldn't be bought easily by a spirit warrior, even a tier 8 spirit warrior didn't necessarily have it. Only a few people with high status or someone with a lot of soul stones could buy it. “Flying swords for transportation are indeed not easy to obtain, how can the person who can possess them not be a high-status spirit warrior? Didn't you know for yourself that all spirit warriors would normally store soul artifacts within their own soul seas rather than storage rings?” Prince Alfred responded casually. “Yes, storing within the soul sea is indeed safer than storing it in the storage space ring.” Hearing that, William could only agree and nodded his head. It didn't take long for another large sword to start heading this way. And in a few moments later, the greatsword lowered its height and began to slowly descend to the ground. Then the 45 spirit warriors from the greatsword and started walking to the plaza, while the elder in charge accompanying the people involuntarily glanced slightly at William before walking up the platform. Looks like the platform above is for people who have a fairly high status in secret service organizations. At this moment, a friendly-looking young man started to glance at the square with curiosity plastered on his face. But after a moment of glancing at him, he was suddenly startled and immediately moved towards William. "Hey, brother! How many Spirit warriors in your place have passed this year's assessment?” When William heard someone talking to him, he started to turn his head back. William saw that the young man in front of him had a peak level 9 cultivation base, just like himself. But at this moment, William began to hear small whispers from the surroundings. William saw everyone from hunting area number 40 except those who had close ties to him, they all started to move away from William. It looked like they were all afraid that William would be unreasonable and kill the young man who had just descended. William was too lazy to care about all of them, and he only drew closer to the young man in front of him. William was looking for someone to gather information from other hunting grounds but didn't expect a young man to come here of his own accord. “Only 75 people passed the assessment in our number 40 hunting area, how about your hunting area?” William walked over and chatted with the young man. “Only 45 people!” Said the young man with a helpless sigh. When William heard that, he hesitated a bit and started to glance at the number of people behind the young man. By the time William counted everyone behind the young man, the total number was 45 spirit warriors, and that number included the young man in front of him. "Why is that number over there different from what you said?" William asked doubtfully. "Different? ...Oh, good thing you reminded me of that! My group is from hunting area number 41. When we were on our way to the secret service organization's main headquarters area, it turned out that one of the flying sword artifacts belonging to hunting area number 42 had damage. Because that's the spirit warrior in the hunting area number 42 transferred to the flying transport soul artifact belonging to hunting area number 41.” The young man explained it to William. William nodded his head, him believing the words of the young man in front of him. Because upon descending from the air transport soul artifact, some of the spirit warriors there had split into two separate rows of groups. Now William knew the reason behind it. In the distance, the spirit warriors of hunting area number 40 looked at William in surprise after seeing the terrifying black demon having a friendly chat with someone. It almost made them all gape in surprise, was the person in front of them still the terrifying black demon that other people often talked about? It looks like two different personalities in one body. “Brother, can you say your name? I am Rolan! With your black hair and red pupils that look like rubies, why have I never seen you before?” asked the young man named Rolan. “My name is William, it's only natural that you don't know me. Because not long ago I just came to the capital of the Feysac Kingdom.” William said casually. "William? Are you the William that our elder in charge has spoken of?!” Rolan looked at the black-haired young man opposite him with a very surprised expression on his face. “I'm not sure… Because it's my first time coming to the secret service organization's assessment! Perhaps what the elder was talking about was another William.” William shook his head and smiled. Then William, who was originally standing, began to move towards a more comfortable place to sit in the square. William did not have the attitude of a skilled spirit warrior at all, which was cold and isolated. After all, William was an ordinary person back in his previous life, so why also pretend to be a great person? Of course, William would still be very serious when fighting against the enemy. In the eyes of the people of the number 40 hunting ground, William just looked like a freak that common sense couldn't understand. Unlike the spirit warriors in hunting area number 41, those people started to gather around after seeing William laughing and talking in a friendly manner with everyone. What was even more absurd was, one of the spirit warriors from hunting area number 41 started to take the beast meat from the cloth storage bag that was on his waist and started distributing it to everyone. Just looking at the situation alone, it looked like an ordinary person who was camping at the top of a mountain to relax. They even light a fire to cook food while laughing together. Some people talked about the experiences that took place in the hunting grounds. They all talked while eating grilled meat, sometimes some of them started to question William's experience in dealing with previous judgments. “Hunting area number 40? Our mission requirements to pass are to take the red fire lotus spiritual plant that is in the underground lava cave passage or collect soul beast crystal cores, it is the hottest region I have ever experienced.” William also began to take the grilled meat in front with his own hands and chewed the meat with pleasure. "Is that true? I can't imagine how hot the region is to take a peak tier 9 spirit warrior like you say that!” One of the spirit warriors breathed a sigh of relief, as if grateful not to be allocated to hunting area number 40. “But your requirements are at least better than mine! Not only were we told to collect soul beast crystal cores, but we were also even required to have two clear ginseng spiritual plants that only tier 8 and above could use. It was very difficult to collect those two items! The spiritual clear ginseng plant grows on the edge of the cliff, so just one wrong step we will all fall from a height and die.” Rolan sighed slightly after recalling the tribulation from his previous experience. They not only had to be careful when picking them, but their teammates also had to pay attention to their surroundings so that no other spirit warriors would approach so they wouldn't fall. It was a situation filled with tension! Just one mistake, then their fate will be over. William just listened casually while eating the roast beef in his hand. This roast is tastier than anything I've eaten before. This roast was so crunchy and juicy, that's why William didn't really care about his mouth and hands full of grease. When Prince Alfreed and Chiaki saw William's attitude of eating grilled meat like someone who had starved for a year without paying attention to his image, they both could only turn their heads to the side and pretended not to recognize William who looked like a barbarian. Take a look at other people! They ate the roast beef with courtesy and looked very graceful in the eyes of others, but as for William, it was truly like seeing a barbarian who had no sense of manners at all!
