Child of Destiny

Chapter 776: The Nemesis of the Corrupted Cult (Part 3)

...…

Saint Heaven Kingdom, Holy City.

Heavenly Restaurant VIP Room 3.

The acting leaders of the Titan Guild and Dragon Pavilion were currently having a meeting to discuss how they were going to deal with the newest report that they recently got.

There were four players inside the room, two of them were sitting across each other while the other two were standing right behind the former pair like a close attendant.

The first person was a Tigerkin Master Berserker who seemed to specialize in fighting with a pair of sabers instead of a greatsword. He seemed to had a tacky look due to the set of equipment that he was wearing. It was not because they didnʼt match each other but because of how shabby and dirty they look.

Regardless of that, the Berserker seemed to didnʼt care since the only thing that was important to him was strength. It didnʼt matter if you looked like a beggar or nobleman, as long as you have to back yourself up, then everything else was not important.

This guy was one of the ʼGod Fistsʼ of the Titan Guild, the God of Vigor, Samson.

Standing behind him was one of the two vice commanders of the Titan Guild branch in the Saint Heaven Kingdom, Hercules. He was not a godlike player with an official title but he had a strength that was comparable with them, a Maverick God, and people called him, ʼHerculine Godʼ.

He was also a Beastman and a Master Berserker but the subrace that he chose was a Lionkin while the weapon of his choosing was a huge metal club.

This pair was known as one of the strongest pairs within the game, especially when they were working together. And their style of battle was a straightforward battle without setting up any kind of schemes.

But at the same time, the pair across them would not lose when it came to reputation and achievements since they were also a pair that was known as best partners, the Commanding God Miracle Dragon and the Unbreakable God Martial Dragon.

”I did not expect that we are going to have another meeting like this,” said Samson as he crossed his thick arms in front of him.

”Me either. Who will not expect that we are going to meet like his?” said Miracle Dragon in response.

”We both know that each of us is very busy, so how about we cut off the chase and start discussing what we need to discuss right away?” said Samson straightforwardly.

Hearing that, Miracle Dragon nodded while commenting. ”As straightforward as always. Then letʼs start already.”

He took a brief pause before continuing. ”As we already know, the Corrupted Cult is planning something big again. And with the number of forces that they are mobilizing, we can easily tell that this operation is very important to them.”

”And it could also mean that it is something that can affect the current state of the game,” he with a serious tone.

”Well, it is the Corrupted Cult that we are talking about here, so it is pretty natural for them to create a mess as big as that,” commented Samson before his voice turned serious. ”The problem here is the involvement of the Hand of Midas and the Assassin Union.”

”We donʼt know what is happening in there since those two groups are preventing our scouts from advancing,” he added with an even deeper tone.

”Well, I heard that those guys from Empyrean Talons are in that area. I donʼt know what they are doing there but it looks like they are intending to get in the way of the Corrupted Cult once again,” said Miracle Dragon.

”What are they? Mortal enemies of the cult? They are always in the area whenever the Corrupted Cult tries to do something,” commented Samson with a deep frown.

Miracle Dragon nodded his head but he didnʼt completely agree. ”Well, that might be one of the possibilities since it could be said that it is the other way around.”

”You should know how the Corrupted Cult works, they may be trying to halt the progress of that group since they are too strong,” he continued.

Samson shook his head as he denied the possibility. ”That is impossible. Mobilizing such a large force is not meant to suppress an adventurer team.”

”And they are just going to lose a lot of resources if they try to clash with that group. Especially with the presence of those three monsters,” he added.

Miracle Dragon was silent for a moment before continuing. ”Anyway, from what we know, the Empyrean Talons have some relation with the Hand of Midas Trading Firm, so it may be the reason why we are being blocked by those people.”

”So, you are suspecting that the Empyrean Talons and the Corrupted Cult discovered something in the Sky Deceiving Valley that we donʼt know about?” asked Samson.

”Most likely,” said Miracle Dragon as he nodded his head. And after a brief moment, he quickly added. ”Whatʼs more, the Hand of Midas is currently involved. We may not know who is the leader of that firm, we all know that there are always profits involved whenever that Trading Firm appears.”

”Hah! So, you are planning to go against them? Making an enemy out of Empyrean Talons and Hand of Midas is definitely not a good idea,” said Samson with a slight frown.

Miracle Dragon laughed at that remark before responding. ”Of course, we are not foolish enough to do such a thing.”

”Moreover, we have our eyes on the Dragon God ages ago. But since he already has a group of his own, making him an ally is still not a bad choice.”

Samson slightly knitted his eyebrows when he heard those words before saying. ”So, you are proposing that we ally ourselves with them.”

Then his knitted brows turned into a frown before saying. ”But as you already know, making a deal with the Guild Leader of the Hand of Midas is not that easy. Unless we have something too tempting for them to accept our proposal, initiating a deal with them is impossible.”

”Well, that is true. But that is also the reason why we are here right now,” replied Miracle Dragon.

”Heh! That is sly of you. So, what is your plan?” asked Samson.

Miracle Dragon quickly answered. ”Given the current circumstances, I am pretty sure that the Hydra Guild and Blood Carnival are going to ally together just like what happened before. And since it is impossible for them to form an alliance with the Hand of Midas, I am guessing that they are going to choose the side of the Corrupted Cult instead.”

”Are you going to propose that we are going to deal with those two clans so that they can focus on their attention to the Corrupted Cult?” asked Samson.

But not long after, he quickly added. ”It sounds a good idea but it is not appealing enough to convince them to ally with us.”

”That is why we decided to give them this,” said Miracle Dragon while taking out a blueprint from his inventory and placing it on the top of the table. Given the bright glow that it was emitting, anyone could tell that it was a Master Blueprint.

Samson knitted his eyebrows quite deeply when he saw the glowing blueprint. And after hesitating for a moment, he took it from the table to see what kind of blueprint it was.

Not long after, his eyes suddenly turned wide as he turned to Miracle Dragon with full of disbelief. ”Are you sure about this? This is can change the state of the game! And your guild will become its pioneer without a doubt.”

The blueprint that Samson was holding was a guide on how to build an airship. In the current stage of the game where flying mounts and pets were very rare, an airship would definitely be a game-changer.

”You are right about that,” nodded Miracle Dragon before adding. ”But at the same time, our researchers and artisans are not good enough to use that blueprint. Our engineers and architects are not at the level where they can create this thing.”

He then paused for a moment before continuing. ”But it is a different case for the Hand of Midas since they have Black Hammer, Tinker, and other top players who specialize in lifestyle classes.”

”Moreover, it is just a small token in exchange for proposing a cooperation with the Hand of Midas and Empyrean Talons.”

”It is even better if we can form an alliance with them,” he added.

Hearing his reasons, Samson suddenly fell into deep thought before turning to Hercules. ”What do you think?”

Hercules was silent for a moment before replying. ”It will bring more benefits to our clan if we ally with them since the Hand of Midas is currently in control of the market of the Saint Heaven Kingdom while the Empyrean Talon is currently the hottest potato at the moment.”

”Though, we also need to give them something of the same value as this blueprint,” he added almost immediately.

Hearing that, Samson quickly turned to Miracle Dragon and nodded his head. ”Alright, letʼs go with your plan.”
