The Strongest Wizard

Poached

29th December 1018 / 2018 2135rs

What the Captain Guild Leader had mentioned about Luck and Success was really true. I could imagine that with the tenacity of our Captain Guild Leader, we would have a better future...! Besides, Tinkerbell is the one managing Twilight Trading, so there would not be any worry about distrust.

"What are your plans right after this, Captain Guild Leader? And oh, yeah...! I almost forget. Here, I received this piece of paper when I got out of my room. My auntie stuck it at my bedroom door, and I have not called the person before. Do you know who is one leading The Diablo Force? They somehow got my phone number and had been calling me until my auntie picked the phone up. I guessed they got my phone number from the VR Gaming Headset I was using or something or else how they know about my phone number."

I said casually, as I handed our Captain Guild Leader the piece of paper that had the name The Diablo Force and contact number. The moment our Captain Guild Leader took the piece of paper, her eyebrows scrunched up in a bunch. Everyone was silent as we looked at our Captain Guild Leader that was biting her lower lip as she furrowed her eyebrows in deep thoughts.

She returned the piece of paper back to me without saying a word, and I knew that somehow I was being poached by the other gamers that had been eyeing us.

"Anyone got contacted by any members of the would-be Guild Leaders besides Snowbunny here?" Captain Guild Leader finally voiced out, and I wished that I had talked to her more privately regards to these matters. Furthermore, I am sure she had a better knowledge of who the Diablo Force is and what it stands out in the future. Maybe she held the key to this kind of intelligence, who knows.

"Nope...Not me..."

"Me neither..."

"Negative...Captain Guild Leader..."

The rest of the core members replied that they had not received such calls or visitation from anyone. I was also wondering what is going on our Captain Guild Leader's mind at this moment.

"Tchick...Don't worry too much about it Snowbunny, and this goes for everyone as well. You should be able to know who is taking care of you all this time and I am sure if you let go of this opportunity, you would not find another BETA TESTER like myself."

"Besides, you would be having a lot of this kind of poaching methods in the future. I am here only to guide you, but you sculpt your own path for your future. Besides, who is the one that made the first-ever clear of HELLISH MODE in the dungeons?"

"We are...!"

"Who are the ones that ever got the first Guild in The Lord Of The Red Dragon?"

"We are...!"

Who are the first 7 that got into the Top of the Leaderboards right up to this date?"

"Y O U A R E...!!!"

We were acting as if we were in our own MMORPG platform as we were gesticulating with our fists in the air. Onlookers were watching us as we cheered until the waitresses nearby the eatery were peculiarly looking at us.

It was one side of our Captain Guild Leader that we had not seen since this is the first time we had a get-together. We had no armour nor weapons between us and gathering around as if we were all long time friends.

I can't agree that without our Captain Guild Leader's presence, we would not be where we are right now. Even though I had not been with them for the first 2 expeditions, I am sure that the chance would be soon.

"Once I get back, I would be heading to the Blacksmithing Room to further grind 5 hours of smithing those copper ores. Besides, you may be wondering why I am doing copper products instead of bronze at this moment since there are no bronze materials that I could use. However, once I am done with the copper ones, I would be doing those copper-tin materials. That's where you would be able to mine next and for me to play around with the materials. Don't be surprised that the copper-based armour pieces are better than the bronze ones."

I listened to what our Captain Guild Leader had said and cannot agree more of what she had informed us. She had a better understanding of this game, and I am wondering what we would become of us if we did not meet our so-called benefactor. She had the right guidance for us, and we were lucky to be able to be right where we are now.

"What have you done with the furs, paws and tails of those foxes? Did you retrieve everything back to Votrieburg City Storage?"

Yes, we did. The guys handed me the whole lot, and it was not for sale since you had asked them to grind at the greyed-out unmarked section of the land. If it is being put up for sale, then the hidden area would blow up on the screen. Isn't that right, Captain Guild Leader?" Tinkerbell quipped in since she knew what is best for the team.

"Yup, that's right. I believe that is the only way for now. Don't dispose of it yet to the NPC. The furs could be used to be made into pieces of armour. The tail could be used to be made into soft handles of the sword or the part where you place your arrows when you draw your bow, Dragonfire." The paws can be used to exchange for credits. I believed you had more than several hundred pieces of Swift Grey Foxes' dropped front paws, am I right?"

I listened to what our Captain Guild Leader had said and was surprised at her foresight on exquisite matters.

Even right to this date, I could not believe that we had found an ally, a BETA TESTER that wishes to be part of a party and thus leads us to have a Guild.

I got the piece of paper back from our Captain Guild Leader, and I tore it right before the rest of them. "That's settled then. I am vowing my allegiance to Silent Knights Guild, and I am willing to part my life with it. No matter how hard and rough the road may be, we will always be together, am I right guys?"

I spoke in a truce, and the rest of the members agree with what I had mentioned. I thrust my hand forward, and everyone places theirs on top of one another, and I felt that Silent Knight Guild will be around for a long time and be on a long journey ahead.

"Hey guys, why so serious? We are off-game, you know. So let's get to know one another or, we gonna stick with our ID names instead?"

Crusader spoke up, and we all laughed since we had known each other online and had only been gathering around for the first time. This is not the case for Snowbunny who had known me since he delivered those A-Class and S-Class nutrients.

"Guy, guys, guys...Just a reminder, if you have the dough, you should get yourselves the S-Class nutrients. If not you could step down and the lowest you could get would be the C-Class Nutrients. It would do you good in the long run since you would be battling more elite monsters in the future. These Level 25 Swift Grey Foxes is just the tip of the iceberg, and The Wintry Hills and Bellowing Slopes guardians are the ones you would be aiming to defeat next. They are Level 50 Bosses. Could be regarded as Level 25 Elite Bosses. Their drops would be bountiful. There's a treasure chest, and they respawn every 2 hours.

"You are hinting to us to go and have a go at these guardians once every two hours? Treasure chests? That's a reasonable excuse to hit those Bosses. So, guys, you want to have a go at them? At least we would be able to see how our new tricks would be towards these Bosses. You can leave it us, Captain Guild Leader... We will try to get those Bosses. Besides, any tips handling these Bosses?"

I replied, and unknowingly I had a twinkle in my eye that caught our Captain Guild Leader's attention, and she laughed at a specific moment. Besides, I did ask for some tips on handling those Bosses since she was the one who brought it up. A Guardian that sits on top of an icy mountain that ores were meant only for Wizards. I wonder what kind of surprises the Boss will have for us.

"The aggro bubble for each of the Guardians..........." our Captain Guild Leader began to explain the tactics. It was to tackle the Bosses that guards the mountain tops for both the ice and fire crystals. After we had listened to what our Captain Guild Leader, we took note of it and decided to enter The Lord Of The Red Dragon by 0600hrs later on.

"Oh, yes, guys... There is a binding contract for all of you to sign, don't you forget about it, yes?"

"Aye, no problem Captain Guild Leader. We will sign it tomorrow. We will be at The Wintry Hills and The Bellowing Slopes tomorrow. Just beep us, and we would respond to you." Warpriestess responded and was shy when she spoke up. The two girls in the team were introvert in real life, but when it comes to gaming, they are the most active...!
