“Yggdrasill? I see. I understand why it has such a large Mana pool.”

Sherlock nodded.

“Lord Sherlock, I feel that we should let the gamers of Victoria City take over Yggdrasill. If Dragonborn is in the vicinity of Yggdrasill, we can find his location easily. If we have Yggdrasill, then we can start the Open Beta. The number of gamers will increase dramatically! With these gamers, it won’t be a problem to conquer the world!” Bru suggested excitedly.

Sherlock remained aloof. He pondered for a while before saying, “Locate Yggdrasill, we need it. If we use violence, it will create unnecessary conflicts and start a full-scale war on the surface. It may also cause attention to focus on our Dungeon, which may then bear the brunt of the Surface World’s attacks. Eternal Kingdom will be drawn in a costly battle.”

After analyzing the situation, he said, “We haven’t completed our tasks in the Underworld. Taking over Yggdrasill and making more enemies isn’t a good strategy.”

“Of course, we have to plan to take over Yggdrasill properly. We can’t let the chance slip by. Locate Dragonborn first.”

“I understand, Lord Sherlock. Don’t worry, I’ll locate Dragonborn,” Bru said and remained silent.

…

Sylvanas sat impatiently in the cage as she heard sounds of battle coming closer. The fighting was just outside the prison. However, she didn’t know what happened, but the sounds of battle became softer and further.

Had they failed?

Sylvanas was worried. If they failed, would NotWearingPants and the rest be imprisoned as well? The members of Changan City were sly and cunning, capable of unscrupulous acts. It wouldn’t be surprising if they imprisoned more high-ranking Guild members.

The battle lasted for almost two hours, which wasn’t a short battle to the Guilds. It was also difficult for the gamers to focus on fighting for two hours, especially when the game was ultra-realistic. Fighting drained both physical and mental energy.

Sounds of battle were heard outside the prison, followed by a huge explosion. The prison door was blasted open, and the fragments flew all over the place. An Orc Changan City gamer was sent flying by the explosion and landed in front of Sylvanas’ cell. Sylvanas quickly picked up the gamer’s Longsword. It was only of Green quality, but it was better than nothing. She could use the sword to kill herself and escape the prison.

Sylvanas looked warily outside. It was filled with dust after the explosion. Though she wanted to go offline and ask NotWearingPants or Arthur about what was going on via Wechat or phone call, she was worried it might affect their battles. They had to focus on their fighting, and a phone call might cause their demise.

After hesitating for a few days, Sylvanas decided to stay in prison and wait for their rescue.

When the dust settled, a green-skinned Orc dashed in. It was NotWearingPants. Sylvanas saw NotWearingPants and shouted excitedly, “You’re finally here to rescue me. Get me out of here, hurry!”

NotWearingPants was depressed. He said to Sylvanas, “It’s because of you that hundreds of our members had to come and save you! We were ambushed by Changan City’s members after we attacked the Stronghold. Now, we’re all going to die and lose all of our equipment. How are you going to compensate us?”

Sylvanas was stunned. She hadn’t thought of that. She quickly said, “Sorry, Bro, it wasn’t intentional. Don’t worry, I’ll compensate all of the Guild members who helped rescue me. I’ll replace the lost equipment and improve them to Level 5.”

The gamers who came in behind NotWearingPants shouted happily.

“Sister Vanas is awesome!”

“Vanas Bro is gutsy!”

The gamers looked excited, while Sylvanas was bewildered. She noticed the difference in expressions of NotWearingPants and the gamers who just came in.

“Silly dude, is NotWearingPants fooling me?”

“Am I fooling you? I brought 100 members, and now only tens of them are left. How am I fooling you?” NotWearingPants shouted at Sylvanas.

NotWearingPants was no longer serious. He laughed and said, “We were ambushed by Changan City and other Guilds and were losing. However, Arthur brought a large group of members and turned the tide. We killed all members of Changan City and the other Guilds and obtained their equipment. We even captured a high-ranking Changan City member. We’ll imprison him for a few months to give him a taste of his own medicine.”

A gamer brought a bomb over and said to Sylvanas, “Sister Vanas, please stand back. We’ll be using a bomb to get you out.”

Sylvanas nodded and backed up two steps. The cage wasn’t very large. If the bomb exploded, it would be dangerous. Sylvanas extended her hand and shouted, “Wait a moment, Bro, there’s not enough space!”

The gamer had already lit the Bladder Bomb in his hand, and the burning fuse was at its end. Though another gamer wanted to douse the fuse, he was stopped by NotWearingPants, who said, “It’s too late. Let’s run!”

“Wait, wait. Shucks!”

“Boom—!”

…

“That’s awesome. I heard Arthur brought the Meat Vegetable Rice Alliance members to attack Changan City!”

“Did the Meat Vegetable Rice Alliance and the Pioneer Alliance form an alliance? I didn’t know that!”

“Changan City was badly beaten by the Meat Vegetable Rice Alliance and the Pioneer Alliance.”

“The neutral Pioneer Alliance is now involved in Guild Wars. The game is going to get very interesting. Join a Guild, especially when all Guilds are actively recruiting. You’ll get a salary every week. I have received a salary for a few weeks as a Guild member.”

“No, I would rather be a non-affiliated gamer.”

In the Commerce Area of Eternal Kingdom, a shop that was rented by gamers was changed into a small cafe. The cafe had ten tables and forty seats, and more seats could be added depending on demand. Currently, the small shop was almost filled up.

The name of the cafe was Marco Polo Fast Food Restaurant.

Anybody could guess the owner of this shop. It was Marco Polo, who triggered the old district Strange Encounter Mission.

Marco Polo earned a large amount of Magic Stones from the old district residents, and he used them to purchase Eternal Kingdom shops. He didn’t invest in Winterfell shops because the development of Eternal Kingdom far exceeded Winterfell.

The officials of Winterfell were favorable towards Eternal Kingdom, and the development of Eternal Kingdom would overshadow Winterfell. By then, the value of his shops might have multiplied many times.

Earning Magic Stones wasn’t Marco Polo’s aim. His main aim was to set up a cafe and collect information from other gamers. Then he could earn Magic Stones to sustain his exploration expenses.

Marco Polo obtained information about the battle between the Pioneer Alliance and Changan City.

He wasn’t concerned about the Guild Wars. He was more concerned about new maps and new routes.

As his name suggested, he preferred exploration of maps, new gameplay, and finding Easter Eggs rather than Guild Wars and Daily Missions.

He obtained valuable information over the past few days.
