Earth's Best Gamer Chapter 184 - Yang Guo

Chapter 184: Yang Guo

“What?”

The “ghosts”, who had been surrounded by the beasts, looked surprised when they heard Ji Ye’s words.

“Great Swordsman Condor?”

Protected by the wolf pack, Guo Xiang opened her eyes wide in surprise.

They followed Ji Ye’s eyes and saw that when they weren’t looking, a person had sat down on a thick branch of a tree nearby, together with a giant but hideous-looking condor.

The person wore a grey robe, and the empty right sleeve was tucked in the belt. One of his arms was indeed gone.

When the crowd saw the person’s face, they couldn’t help but shudder, because the man had a jaundiced and gaunt face, which was quite unattractive. However, his eyes were exceptionally bright!

“So, he’s the Great Swordsman Condor. He’s so…”

Guo Xiang sounded disappointed.

Earlier in the inn, when she heard about the heroic deeds of Great Swordsman Condor, the teenage girl couldn’t help but picture him as a handsome, cultured, and refined man.

Now that she had seen his “face”, she was greatly let down by what she saw.

Moreover, she had been in a life-threatening crisis just then when she was surrounded by the beasts, so she felt a lot less pa.s.sionate about the swordsman.

“The Horde of Ghosts of the West Mountain didn’t keep their appointment and have kept me waiting for half the night. There they are, messing with some wild beasts…”

Yang Guo was doubtlessly a handsome man, but his face had been covered up by a human skin mask made by Huang Yaos.h.i.+.

He looked down at the “ghosts” below and spoke in a teasing tone.

The bad feeling between him and the “ghosts” was to some extent a misunderstanding.

Having been attacked by tigers and leopards, the “ghosts” were also too injured to fight against Yang Guo.

After they talked things through, the grudge was resolved.

With Ji Ye’s request, the s.h.i.+ Brothers instructed the beasts to make way for the “ghosts”.

“I see. You’re Master Ji and Chiefs Yang and Lu of the Twin Dragon Mount, the one that has been fighting the Yuan Kingdom. I’ve heard so much about you. Finally, I get to meet you guys.”

Yang Guo didn’t leave. Instead, he jumped off the tree together with Dugu Qiubai’s condor and walked up to Ji Ye.

Although the Twin Dragon Mount wasn’t incredibly famous in this Battlefield of Providence, Yang Guo had been traveling up and down the country for a decade, so he had naturally heard about them.

After becoming Yang Guo’s acquaintance, Ji Ye was able to obtain his information.

[Swordsman Condor (Alignment: friend)]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-7]

[Rarity: Quasi-commander]

[Description: A chivalrous and righteous swordsman. Because he travels everywhere with a condor, he is known as “Great Swordsman Condor”. However, he himself doesn’t think that he is worth the “great” part.]

Probably because of the mask Yang Guo was wearing, Ji Ye could only get information on “Swordsman Condor”.

It was indeed as he had expected. As a top warrior in the Battlefield of Providence, Yang Guo was above Extraordinary Rank-7!

However, Yang Guo was a Quasi-commander, which surprised Ji Ye a little.

But after some thought, he understood the evaluation.

Yang Guo hadn’t actually led a force before, but after performing heroic deeds for a decade, he was widely respected as the “Great Swordsman Condor”, and he had helped a lot of people.

If he made a command, the number of people that would follow him would be second to that of Guo Jing and Huang Rong only.

In the book, he was able to lead nearly a thousand men to annihilate a Mongolian troop of 2,000 men, burning their powder magazine and army provisions, which was his birthday present for Guo Xiang.

Although he was usually a lone ranger, he was worthy enough to be considered as a Commander.

However, Ji Ye wasn’t over the moon to meet Yang Guo, who should have been a Transcendent hero.

For one, this was only the Battlefield of Providence, and both Yang Guo and Guo Jing were only projections here.

For another, probably because of the improvement in his own capability, his perspective and state of mind had also changed. He believed that he wasn’t inferior to the heroes in either his capability or his leaders.h.i.+p.

“Sir, if you don’t mind me asking, is your arm like this because of an injury?”

After talking with Yang Guo for a while, Ji Ye suddenly asked.

“Huh?”

Behind his mask, Yang Guo’s eyes flickered.

The severed arm was doubtlessly an old scar of his. Although he had grown used to it after a decade, it still pained him to think about it from time to time.

Ji Ye only met him for the first time, so the question was a little inappropriate.

“The Twin Dragon Mount has a secret medicine that can put body parts back together and grow back severed limbs. However, if it’s congenital, there’s nothing we can do.”

Those words astonished Yang Guo.

“Does such a medicine even exist?”

The s.h.i.+ brothers all looked surprised.

Such medicine was unheard of.

However, with the amazing ability Ji Ye had used to treat their brother, he should be telling the truth.

“Ah!”

Next to Ji Ye, Guo Xiang cried out as well.

She was born in Xiangyang City in a chaotic time, and she grew up while the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Kingdom were constantly at war. She saw with her own eyes that many soldiers had been maimed by the war and had been having trouble taking care of themselves.

If Ji Ye really had that medicine, her parents wouldn’t have to worry about the soldiers anymore!

She was still young, and she didn’t realize how rare and valuable such medicine would be.

“Well… Master Ji, I can’t possibly accept such a great favor!”

But Yang Guo realized the value of such a medicine.

And one could tell from his eyes that he was tempted.

Because his 16-year appointment with Little Dragon Maiden was getting closer; it would be great if he could see his “dragon girl” again with his limbs intact.

However, he and Ji Ye had only met for the first time, and he didn’t know how to repay such a favor.

“Great Swordsman Condor, the whole world knows about your heroic deeds!

“Take this medicine of the Twin Dragon Mount as a gift. It’s our way to thank you for everything you did for the people of Song!” Ji Ye said in admiration.

“However, the ‘Black Jade Ointment’ will need some time to prepare.

“And we’ll need to get the ingredients ready first. If you don’t mind, would you like to go with us to the Manor of Beasts now?”

After seeing that Yang Guo was persuaded, Ji Ye took the opportunity and invited Yang Guo to visit the Manor of Beasts together with him.

“Thank you very much!”

Yang Guo didn’t say no.
