Chapter 1498 - He Is Named Iron Bull (1/2)
“?”
Meng Xi was a little perplexed at Wang Yu’s suggestion. She had lived her life in a westernised society and it was difficult for her to empathise with Wang Yu. However, Meng Xi still patiently explained, “Only two people can undertake this quest.”
“This… Alright then.”
Wang Yu was also helpless under the circumstances. It was not easy for him to be assigned such a quest in the first place so he could not possibly give up so quickly.
He had to give up his identity as the gentleman.
…
The west side of Ethel Mountain already crossed over to the European server. To cross the mountain range, they had to first take an airship to reach Wild City.
Wild City was the furthest city away from the mainland and it was close to a two-hour journey from Twilight City.
As the city was famed for its desolateness, it could not compare to the size and grandeur of Vatican City. However, it was highly ranked in the list of cities in <<REBIRTH>>.
The top-ranked guild nationwide Ancient Empire was headquartered here.
Only heaven knew why such a large guild like the Ancient Empire chose to settle in such a city instead of a more prosperous one. Is it because they could be more discrete in their dealings this way?
No one knew the specific reason behind their actions.
Of course, there may have been no specific reasoning behind what they had decided on and it could be a decision made purely out of their self-confidence. It was similar to when Wang Yu never paid attention to the weapon that his opponent was equipped with.
It was a wonderful thing to travel with a beautiful woman.
Wang Yu himself was already an introverted person, but Meng Xi was even more so.
The two of them barely spoke throughout the two-hour journey seemingly engaged in a competition of “see who speaks first”.
These two were indeed masters at staying silent. From entering the airship to landing in Wild city, there was no clear winner.
…
Compared to Twilight City, the general vibe that Wild City exuded was very ancient and there were not many players in the streets.
It looked like the Ancient Empire was really powerful. A singular guild was sufficient to drive a whole city’s economy. Their reputation was quite effective.
The two did not specially travel all the way here to experience ordinary folklife. The moment the airship landed, they headed straight for the city gates.
However, as they approached the gates, they were stopped by a bunch of players.
One of them was a tall and burly Warrior. He drew his long sword to restrict the movement of Wang Yu and Meng Xi. He asked in an arrogant tone, “Where are you guys going?”
“What does that have to do with you?” Wang Yu positioned Meng Xi behind him and replied coldly.
“Take a look at what this is!” The Warrior pointed at the emblem on his chest and declared, “This road is the only way to leave this territory. All those who pass through here have to pay a toll fee. This is the rule; do you understand?”
The emblem on his chest was a very simple-looking cauldron. Wang Yu did not know what the emblem represented but he still knew what a toll fee was.
After all, the Quan Zhen Sect had opened a sea route shortly before and they mandated that people had to pay a toll fee if they wanted to travel from Harbor City to Immortal Island.
Wang Yu was a law-abiding person and since this was the rule here, he casually asked, “How much?”
“One gold coin per person!” the Warrior declared.
“So cheap?”
Wang Yu was quite surprised at the affordable toll fees. The toll fees from Harbor City to Immortal Island was ten gold coins per person. Therefore, the toll fees here were very much cheaper in comparison.
