Chapter 173: Set Sail, Burned Cinder
In the first tournament, owing to his great advantage, Changli Jiuge came out first in the God of War ranking.
His ability to transform, in particular, caused many players to exclaim that it was ridiculous.
But no matter what,
He was the only person who had obtained this unconventional advantage. The rest could not do anything about it.
What caught people's attention was the City of Dawn's sea voyage.
This was the first time an NPC in Gods was about to step out of the beginner's village. And it was an exploration on a large scale which even included the players.
Many players could only watch the City of Dawn admiringly. Furthermore, players from other countries started to post comments out of boredom.
The foreigners were confused. "Are we playing the same game as the Chinese?"
In comparison to the overseas players, the Chinese progressed too quickly with the storyline missions, secondary plot missions, and other missions.
The storyline missions were hastily completed. There were few places for players to earn experience.
But most importantly, they could still find many secondary plot missions that gave out experience.
And now, someone had started to explore the seas.
How was this interpreted by the English and Spanish players?
It had to be emphasized.
William had indirectly cheated many overseas players. After he started his sea voyage, many overseas players also started to build their own warships. They did not want to fall behind.
It was simple.
But this insistence caused many overseas guilds to lose a lot of money.
A new day arrived.
No clouds could be found in the sky, and it was a warm and sunny day.
There was an endless stream of people at the port in the City of Dawn. Players crowded together and moved around.
The inside of the port had been cordoned off.
William led 2500 soldiers, 100 players, and 400 lifestyle professionals to board the Dawn Vessel.
The warship had been stocked with food, vegetables, tomatoes, and several hundred barrels of alcohol...
After all, a sea voyage was different from a military campaign.
People usually became fearful when facing the ocean. Under many circumstances, they even needed alcohol to numb their senses...
But since the Dawn Vessel was fast, this would be a rather short journey.
Though when they would reach Stormy Island, if the storms were too harsh, they might need to take a stop for a very long time.
The players had no idea what they were about to face. They could not imagine the harsh environment on the Stormy Islands. They could not even begin to imagine how high-leveled the magical beasts there would be.
All of the 100 players showed excitement. They cheerily looked around, and it seemed that they had been dazzled.
Under the command of the city lord.
3000 people neatly boarded the warship.
There were a total of three levels. The space inside was sufficiently large, enough to contain these people for a short period of time.
The regular army boarded the ship and entered the deck. Those who had beds lay on their beds. Those who did have them, they shared a bed with someone else. After all, there were many people. They were not afraid of being raped.
But if they were raped...
It would not just involve them...
Everyone on the same level would join...
As for the players, they stood on the deck and enjoyed the sea breeze. They looked at the boundless sea.
Being a professional driver in his previous life, William had a lot of experience at sea. He even played as a sea pirate once and attracted many NPCs. He specialized in attacking transport ships that belonged to guilds...
"Holding the helm again really feels different." William sighed, his face displaying many emotions. He took a deep breath and looked at the ship crew. They had already been prepared. Among the cheering, he shouted, "Hoist the sails! Set sail!"
"Hoist the sails, set sail!" A quick half-elf climbed up the rope and released the sails which were made from the wings of a Fire Dragon.
Actually, they could have used magic used to do this...
But when it was done this way, it felt more like a ceremony...
At that moment,
A slight breeze passed through.
The sails produced waves of magic. The massive ship slowly started to move and accelerate.
When the Dawn Vessel left the port, its three massive sails had been set up. The ship bobbed on the water and rapidly advanced.
The players and NPCs at the port grew further and further.
William looked away as he faced the sea breeze. Picking his eyebrows, he waved and called his chief officer over. Then he lazily leaned against a pillar and admired the beautiful ocean scenery.
The legion of regular troops was a new legion.
They were called the Breaking Wave legion. They only had 2000 people, and 500 of them were water-type soldiers.
In addition, there were 500 of William's guards, Locke, and Nox.
Out of all his subordinates, only Lautner followed him...
Of course, considering the harsh environment at the Stormy Islands, he had specially chosen Fiu Roeser, the Tauren Warrior...
And this specially chosen warrior was swaying right now and had tightly gripped the handrails. Every time they encountered a wave, he would wail. He was embarrassingly afraid...
"Damn, I want to go home..." Fiu Roeser blinked. His golden-yellow eyes were losing their vitality.
William glanced at him and kicked him, sending him flying into the cabin. If he was afraid, then why did he come along? He could have rejected it, right?
He had the Dragon's blood. Could he give William some save?
Lautner was expressionless. The corners of his lips twitched. He was also rather afraid of the ocean, but he was known to be stubborn. He had to put on an act as if he was not bothered.
At that moment.
A man dressed in a black robe slowly walked towards William.
Some players were very curious about this.
They had already discovered that—
This person, whose face was hidden, was a legendary...
When the black robed man took off his hood.
Changli Jiuge and the rest widened their eyes. They were dumbstruck!
Who had they seen?
It was Augustine???
"F**k, wasn't he killed?"
"How can it be? I personally saw his corpse. His head was blown off. How could he have survived!" Forever Alone was dumbfounded. He looked at Augustine in disbelief.
"Heh heh, did the prince revive the NPC after the situation died down?"
"Brother, why are you so outstanding?"
"But he really revived."
The players gulped. They could only think of this.
For a moment.
The players looked at William in disbelief. It was as if they had sensed how mysterious and powerful he was.
Augustine saw the others looking at him. He laughed and looked into the distance. He started to mutter to himself. "My life is gone. The flame of hope has been extinguished. My body from hell seeks a lease of life."
"A star shines in the ashes."
"After I was reborn in flames."
"My name from now on."
"Is Burned Cinder."
"Good day, Lord." Burned Cinder smiled at William.
The corners of William's lips twitched. He wanted to touch Augustine's head. Was he having a fever?
Did Moses play around with him too much? Why did he feel like an aunt?
Where was the strong man of the past?
Or.
Was this his real personality?
But his loyalty that exceeded 1000 points was not fake!
Ever since Moses returned Burned Cinder to William, Augustine had 1000 loyalty points. His affinity was also 1000. But William did not want to look at his tender-hearted gaze...
"Ahem, you should take a rest. If you have nothing to do, just look at the scenery." William did not know what to say. He made Burned Cinder stand at the side.
Burned Cinder obediently left.
He silently leaned against the railing, occasionally glancing at the prince.
Many players were dumbfounded when they saw this...
