Chapter 1517 - Treacherous Hermit (1/2)

Given Ancient Empire’s strength, it was extremely easy invading Forgotten City.

Even if the Forgotten City’s players started resisting the attack, city extermination was merely a matter of time. Moreover, most of the defending players had already run away.

One wave of the escalade was all it took to tear down the city gate. Without even sweating, over 50,000 players took down Forgotten City.

This was the true strength of a peak grade guild.

In terms of attacking a city, it was always good to have more money and more manpower.

Following Ancient Empire’s successful endeavour was the public announcement across the entire server. The noises on the forum also quietened down as people started singing praises of Ancient Empire as though they were not the ones who were scolding and cursing at them.

At this moment, Boundless Ocean was naturally the most confused one.

Boundless Ocean had always wanted to take down Forgotten City. However, he never acted because he never had the reason to do so.

Now that he finally had a reason to do so, Boundless Ocean was feeling diffident.

There was no free lunch in this world. Initially, Boundless Ocean thought that this was instigated by Forgotten City and they must have prepared well or they might even have powerful backups.

As they started attacking the city, he realised just how smooth and easy everything went. This was what confused Boundless Ocean because he couldn’t think of one saint who would give him this opportunity just like that.

Of course, as for the saints mentioned by Boundless Ocean, they were casually walking out of Forgotten City at their own pace.

Looking at the Chinese flag hanging high above Forgotten City, Wang Yu asked Meng Xi, “You already knew this was going to be the outcome?”

“What do you think?” Meng Xi furrowed her brows.

“Me?” Wang Yu chuckled awkwardly, “I thought we were merely going to find some people to cause some trouble in Forgotten City to allow you a way out. I never would have thought you were so ruthless that you actually went ahead to exterminate an entire city.”

“Haha!” Meng Xi smiled, “If I mention what I want and ended up getting it by hook or by crook, wouldn’t you find me terrifying?”

“Terrifying?” Wang Yu shook his head, “Nope! I think I have basically crushed every terrifying thing in my life.”

Meng Xi, “…”

You are good.

…

Even though this quest wasn’t hard, it was incredibly burdensome. Comparatively, it exhausted quite some time too.

When Wang Yu and Meng Xi returned to Twilight City, it was already late afternoon.

Twilight City was still the same setting sun.

Under the setting sun, Wang Yu and Meng Xi entered a dark alley together.

If any random person saw this, he/she would have some dirty thoughts.

In the alley, Old Man Hermit had been waiting for some time.

After receiving the Black Glorious Stone, Hermit waved his hand as Meng Xi levelled up several times.

This lady started at a low level so having such an increase was not surprising. Following which, Hermit gave her a set of equipment and a few skill books.

Wang Yu, who was by the side, started getting envious.

Ever since Wang Yu came here, he had been Hermit’s slave and almost died on several occasions because of his quests. He even tried to scam the rewards that he gave out…
