Fate Online: Shadow

Chapter 190 - Stingy Brat!



"Ohh~"

Michael was surprised, it was because he actually didn't know that this would the outcome of him destroying the orb. It was only because he was curious about what would happen if he destroyed the orb, and didn't expect that he would actually become a contributor to hindering someone else's plan to invade Nevareth.

"What did you do? Who the heck are the Sea Tribe?" Viper came over as he also received some fame and prestige after Michael destroyed the orb, but only managed to gain one level.

"Not quite sure, but isn't that a good thing?" Michael just shrugged his shoulders and didn't think too much about the matter of the so-called Sea Tribe.

Meanwhile.

"Your excellency, High Priestess!"

A man in priest robes came running inside a luxurious room in a panic. The man has a human-like appearance, but the only difference he has among ordinary humans is that he has gills at both sides of his neck.

"How dare you barge inside my study without announcing your presence!?" a woman with red hair yelled angrily at the man in priest robe. The woman also has gills at both sides of her neck, and her arms have root-like tattoos intertwining around her arms.

"My apologies, but...but"

"But what!?"

"One of our passageways leading to the western part of Nevareth Continent was just recently destroyed!"

The man finally sighed in relief after he said those words.

"What!? When did that happen!?"

The woman bellowed in anger, it was because she knew just how much they had already sacrificed just setting up one of those passageways and that they even risked getting discovered by those continental guardians who have always been wary towards them.

"Just now, your excellency. Our side was suddenly notified that the gate orb that was planted in Cympyr Dukedom was destroyed" the man started sweating bullets when he saw just how angry his superior is right now.

Bang!

The woman angrily slammed her palm on the desk before her, and the desk quickly turned into rubble, while the papers on top of it scattered through the air, and the man in priest robe hurriedly went forward and picked them up in a panic.

"We'd lost the western passageway, and now we're only left with three! Is there any news that those damn Guardians recently made any huge movements?" the woman finally calmed down after her short outburst, as she sat down on her chair and closed her eyes.

"As of now, there's no news of large scale movements from their side. In my opinion, the destruction of the western passageway must be because someone had accidentally discovered the secret room in that abandoned dungeon" the man carefully said.

The woman crossed her legs, with her fingers interlocked together in front of her mouth, and then she opened one of her eyes and looked at the person before her.

"Tell me then, how did you come to that conclusion?"

The man wiped off the sweat on his forehead and carefully said, "It was because if one of them or one of their people discovered it, then they would have already declared war towards us by now. We all know how much those land-dwellers hate us to the bones after the great a few hundred years ago. If it wasn't for the agreement back then, then we would still be in a long standing war against each other"

The woman once again closed her eye and didn't say anything for a minute, while the man just stood there fidgeting in his spot.

"Leave, I'll personally tell her majesty about this"

"Yes, your excellency"

The man bowed and left the study with a relieved look on his face like he was just spared from an imminent death.

"Was it just truly a coincidence or not?"

After that, the woman left her study and slowly made her way to the nearby palace.

The place they are currently at is a city constructed beside a huge trench inside the depths of an unknown sea, with a barrier made of light surrounding the huge city, protecting it from the pressure of the deep sea.

"Who the heck are the Sea Tribe?" Viper said to Michael as both of them slowly made their way out of the dungeon.

"Enemies of course. It did say that the portal was a passageway for a future invasion towards Nevareth" Micheal replied, already thinking of ways to go back to the Eastern Continent and report this to his master.

"Enough about this, it's not like we can do anything about it anyway with our current level," Viper said, as he wasn't really interested in the Sea Tribe invading the continent in the future because the only thing he cares about is playing this game in his spare time and having fun, but most of all, dominating the entire player base along with his old friends.

"What are your plans now?" Viper asked.

"My plans?" Michael smiled and turned towards Viper and reached out his palm towards him and said, "Give me two of those skill scrolls you took from that room"

"Hmmph!" Viper snorted and took out one for the Barbarian, the one for the Hunter and gave it to Michael.

"Take it, you greedy bastard. You already have fourteen thousand gold coins, you even gave that little girl a thousand gold coins by just getting it delivered" Viper angrily said as he sent a trade request towards Michael.

"Hey, that is that and this is this. It's two completely different matters" Michael laughed as he accepted the request and took the said items.

"Stingy brat"

"Shut up, you're an old man with hundreds of millions in his bank account and you're still having designs towards these skills, have you no shame old man?"

Michael sneered, which truly infuriated Viper.

"Shut up you little brat, and I'm not old, I'm only thirty-eight this year!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's go back, at least our time wasn't wasted here because we still managed to gain some levels"
