Chapter 564: Hidden Lurker’s Quest

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Just as Fearless said, Hidden Lurker was an extremely selfish person. The Atlanta’s Key was the special reward after the United Alliance completed an extremely large scale quest. As the team leader, Hidden Lurker easily pocketed it. If he attracted attention to this, he would be condemned by everyone.

However, as someone in the know, Hidden Lurker had spent much money to ask about the Atlanta’s Key storyline and looked through many books in the library.

Berserk Thunder City and Dead Spirit Swamp were both on the original location of Atlanta so they had more records. Hidden Lurker understood the true value of the key more than Quan Zhen Sect.

If his subordinates had the ability, Hidden Lurker did not have to wait to take action as the quest was in the territory of the Dark Faction.

If the key ended up in anyone else’s possession, Hidden Lurker would not have been so worried as he had no confidence that they would be able to complete the quest. However, after witnessing w.a.n.g Yu’s unformidable abilities, Hidden Lurker panicked. Nian Liuyun was already unbelievably strong but that lad was even more fearful.

Allowing others to take away his treasure was definitely not Hidden Lurker’s character. Hence, he decided to use his eloquence and looked for Berserk Thunder City’s top guild, Berserk Heavenlaw’s leader, Berserk ThunderG.o.d.

“Leader ThunderG.o.d, how have you been?” after he met Berserk ThunderG.o.d at the tavern, he greeted him with enthusiasm.

Undeniably, for Hidden Lurker, such a sc.u.mbag, to be able to be so well-connected, his social skills were definitely top-notch. He knew exactly what to say at any time. Although they did not know each other, they looked like brothers who were reunited.

“Pretty good. Especially after I heard that your top fighter was bashed up by other people, I felt even better…”

Although Hidden Lurker was friendly, Berserk ThunderG.o.d was not convinced. After all, the United Alliance was a small guild and yet, it could recruit Nian Liuyun, a top expert. As the leader of the biggest guild of Berserk Thunder City, Berserk ThunderG.o.d would definitely not feel too good about failing to recruit such a talent.

After hearing recently that Nian Liuyun was beaten up and was even announced on the forum, Berserk ThunderG.o.d felt inexplicably good.

Berserk ThunderG.o.d despised Hidden Lurker as to him, Hidden Lurker was a good-for-nothing who was protected by his own subordinates. Hence, seeing how Hidden Lurker acted so flamboyantly, Berserk ThunderG.o.d despised him even more.

“Hehe…” Hidden Lurker forced a laughter and said, “All those are exaggerated… We all know Liuyun’s abilities very well.”

After Berserk ThunderG.o.d heard those words, he s.h.i.+vered internally and stared at Hidden Lurker fiercely.

Although the United Alliance and Berserk Heavenlaw did not have much disagreements, one was the strongest while the other claimed to be the strongest. It was inevitable that they had some tension. As the top weapon of the United Alliance, Nian Liuyun had taught Berserk Heavenlaw multiple lessons… Not be speaking, of course.

“Hmph!” Berserk ThunderG.o.d was displeased, “Since your Nian Liuyun is so capable, why are you looking for me?”

Hidden Lurker quickly added, “No matter how strong Liuyun is, he is still far from Berserk Heavenlaw.”

“Hehe! Enough with your sweet talking rubbish. Quickly say what you want me for?” Berserk ThunderG.o.d asked.

“Recently I took up a quest. I hope Leader ThunderG.o.d can do me a favour.” Hidden Lurker said.

“A quest?” Berserk ThunderG.o.d said, “Your guild has Nian Liuyun. Why do you need me for such a small thing?”

Although he did not like Nian Liuyun, Berserk ThunderG.o.d still acknowledged Nian Liuyun’s abilities.

“Well, this quest is special…” Hidden Lurker tried to hide and lie, “The thing is, there are several spies from the Dark Faction trying to cross the Ironcliff Fortress to reach the Dead Spirit Swamp. They have the Light Faction’s secret letter. Hence, they system delegated me a quest to stop them but Ironcliff Fortress is your territory.”

“Oh… No wonder.” Berserk ThunderG.o.d trusted Hidden Lurker’s words totally.

The only route from Berserk Thunder City to Dead Spirit Swamp was to pa.s.s by Ironcliff Fortress. The key crossing point along the Ironcliff Fortress was Berserk Heavenlaw’s guild headquarters. It was neccessary to inform them before completing a quest on their territory.

“However, I am afraid my brothers would be displeased if you loiter around our territory freely.” Berserk ThunderG.o.d smiled and said.

Of course, as the guild leader, Berserk ThunderG.o.d was not stupid. How could he let such a good extortion opportunity pa.s.s.

Hidden Lurker expected it. He quickly handed over a bag of money and smiled, “I understand. I would like to trouble Leader ThunderG.o.d to lend me a helping hand when the time comes.”

“Of course!” Berserk ThunderG.o.d instantly agreed but actually did not take it to heart. Not causing trouble was the most he could do for him, Hidden Lurker could dream on if he wanted his help.

Just then, Hidden Lurker started mumbling to himself, “I wonder if it is true that if I hand over the secret letters to the Grand Cathedral, I can exchange it for the opportunity for my guild to level up…”

“What did you say?” Berserk ThunderG.o.d heard him and suddenly regained all energy. Due to w.a.n.g Yu and the rest causing trouble, Berserk Heavenlaw was the only level 2 guild in the entire game, making Berserk ThunderG.o.d extremely upset. Hearing that a tool can help the guild to level back up to level 3, Berserk ThunderG.o.d’s interest was immediately piqued.

“What? Did I say anything? Leader ThunderG.o.d must have heard wrongly.” Hidden Lurker acted as though he was fl.u.s.tered.

Seeing Hidden Lurker’s reaction, Berserk ThunderG.o.d laughed, “Hehehe, nothing. I’ve not been resting well so I’m having some hearing hallucinations. If there’s nothing else, I shall leave.”

“Ok, Leader ThunderG.o.d, please rest well…” Hidden Lurker reminded.

“Thank you Leader Lurker for your concern…”

Upon returning to the guild headquarters, Berserk ThunderG.o.d immediately gathered the guild’s core members. After a discussion, they sent an order into the guild chat, “Everyone come back. Seal all the routes at the Ironcliff Fortress. Kill any players heading to the Dead Spirit Swamp.”

Berserk Heavenlaw had many top-notch players and were extremely efficient when it came to doing things. Everything was set up quickly once they received the instructions.

By this time, Quan Zhen Sect had flew to Berserk Thunder City by an airs.h.i.+p.

w.a.n.g Yu, Ming Du and Spring Halo had been to Berserk Thunder City. Seeing how Berserk Thunder City has been constructed so well, their feelings surged.

Spring Halo, “Back to visit again, I sure miss my old friends.”

Ming Du continued, “The candlelight in the middle of the night, it cannot bear to criticise.”

“What a good poem!” w.a.n.g Yu put his thumb up.

Everyone else stood in awkwardness…

“Enough of your sentiments, let’s go!” Fearless disregarded the three of them and opened the map to lead the rest out of the city.

As the three of them had been to Berserk Thunder City, they were more familiar with its road conditions.

For example, they knew that there was only one route through the Ironcliff Fortress which can lead them to the Dead Spirit Swamp from Berserk Thunder City, and that from Berserk Thunder City to Ironcliff Fortress, there was also only one route…
