Re: Evolution Online-Novel

725 Auspicious Day

Assassin Guild's headquarters:

"Boss, I have big news! Come quick. We need to leave right now!"

"Hmmm? Stop shouting nonsense. First talk camly." Abraki sighed. With every day that went by it was becoming more and more difficult to handle the guild. Right now, their guild was literally divided into two halves.

While he wanted to focus on this beast siege event, the other half wanted to infiltrate into one of the S-Rank guilds and wanted to enter the Empires. Day in and day out several fights broke out because of this top and now this idiot was coming with a new headache.

"Now. Tell me. What are you blabbering about?" Abraki asked tiredly.

"Boss! Legendary item! I am talking about a legendary item!"

Abraki's eyes immediately lit up. As a player in the game, he was fully aware of what a legendary item implied and the power that came along with it. So even he was not above the allure of such a godly artifact.

"Are you sure? Where did you hear this?" He jolted to stand up and asked.

"Ah… that… One of our spies in the Crimson Abyss gave me this information." The player awkwardly explained.

Abraki's expression immediately changed. He had specially asked his vice-guild leader to not leave any more spies in Crimson Abyss. However, it looked like he was ignored.

Perhaps they assumed that he was a fool? Abraki sighed, not even bothering to give the vice-guild leader seated, Elijah, sitting near him a glance. It was tiring to remain in this guild.

The truth was that anyone who underestimated Liam would only end up paying a horrible price. How could they not understand something so simple and straightforward? Leaving spies inside that guild would simply be a waste of manpower.

And as for that monster letting slip a piece of news like this? Impossible! There was something weird going on here.

"I don't have a good feeling about this." Abraki gave his honest opinion. However, he was immediately met with a bunch of disgruntled faces.

"Sure. While every other guild is out and about trying to get their hands on this legendary item, why don't we wear skirts and blouses and sit in our guild residence, playing house?" Elijah angrily rebuked.

"Abraki, I don't understand why you always want to bend over backward when it comes to Crimson Abyss? I mean are you their guild leader or ours?" Another elder of the guild angrily retorted.

"Do whatever you want. I am not going to let out guild miss this chance just because you want to be friends with Crimson Abyss." Elijah loudly harrumphed and walked out of the room.

Three-fourths of the other elders of the guild also walked out along with him, all of them busily enquiring about this new juicy piece of information.

Abraki, meanwhile, looked at the only two players still sitting along with him. These were the ones who believed in him. As for the others… No one was even trying to be polite or subtle any longer. The guild was already broken. Perhaps it was time for them to leave.

"Let's focus on the beast siege. While everyone else is fighting for the legendary item, we can make some plans and come on top of this event." He mumbled in deep thought.

He might not have much sway in the guild anymore but he still had a small dedicated group of players. They were all like family to each other and would never betray Abraki. So they immediately listened to him and started making preparations for the beast siege.

Similar events were happening in all the other guilds as well. Stormtroopers guild, War Brothers guild, DareDevils guild, every single guild in the Gresh Kingdom had already mobilized some or all of their forces to investigate this new lead.

However, these guilds all obtained the information from different different players. The news about the legendary item had now spread like wildfire that no one knew where it originated from.

More importantly, Crimson Abyss was also seen investigating this news. So no suspicion was raised.

Soon not just guilds of the Gresh Kingdom but every major guild in the 20 kingdoms of 'Evolution Online' was fully aware of what was happening.

Gladiators, the top guild of the Moon Kingdom, Golden Knights, the guild with the drakes, Death Knights of the Voyoza Kingdom, everyone received the information and started making preparations.

Most of the guilds split their guild force into two, the elite teams investigating the legendary item while the other group preparing for the beast siege. The entire game was abuzz with activity.

The most impressive part was that it had only taken half an hour for the news to fully spread. The allure of a legendary item was simply too godly!

Naturally, among those who heard the information, there was also the mysterious S-Rank guild Battle Gods.

Though they were warned by the guild's secret expert that this endeavor might not lead to good news, the bait of a legendary item was too much to ignore. In the end, the guild sent some of its experts to investigate.

Aside from this small elite group, a large number of other players from Battle Gods also queued up for the teleportation portals. These players were originally doing quests in the Empire to take advantage of their guild status but now they decided to go after the legendary item.

For the experts, this might simply be another strong point they could rely on but for normal players, this was a chance to change their fate! No one wanted to let the chance slip by!

As if adding fuel to this fire, a monk on the streets of the Empire also played his part.

"Good Luck! Great Luck!"

"You will receive amazing heaven-defying luck today!"

"You will succeed no matter what you do today!"

Even he couldn't believe himself. Anyone whom he tried to divine for had great luck today, especially the ones who queued up for being teleported to Gresh Kingdom.

"It must be some sort of auspicious day today." The monk nodded in contemplation before quickly disappearing into the crowd.
