Chapter 314: Silver Aquatic Dragon Set
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As the only boss in the quest, General Yang gave a lot of loot. Aside from the Silver Dragon Spear that Happy snatched from him, he had also gained a grade two masterpiece armor set.
[Silver Aquatic Dragon Armor (Grade two masterpiece):
[Increases defense by 600, increases Affinity by 10, increases Body Movement by 10, increases dodge rate by 10%.
[Once you gain all five major components, you can assemble the full set!
[Your overall defense will increase by 100, dodge rate by 40%, all your attributes by 20, movement speed by 10%, and attack speed by 10%.]
The attributes at the end meant that Silver Aquatic Dragon Set would not give the user the feeling that they would be dragged down by the armor. Instead, it would increase the users strength and speed by a lot. All of the attributes were really great.
When he saw the annotations, Happy knew that he had not done the quest in vain!
The defensive attributes alone were much higher than of any equipment in the market right then. If he sold the set, it would certainly reach a phenomenal price!
The only regretful thing was that it was unique, so it would not appear again in the future. If any part of the set was destroyed or the user dropped it after their death, the set would lose its set attributes, and its price would go down the drain.
During the early stages of the game, the set was very useful, but at the later stages, Happy would not have the courage to use it for strengthening and refining. Refinement at the later stages of the game had a very high failure rate, so the limitations for set equipment were very great.
‘Doesn’t matter. The refinement system is pretty much useless right now, so I’ll use this set for the time being.’
Happy soon felt at ease. After all, the attributes of the Silver Aquatic Dragon Set were much better than those of Yellow Dragon Archer Gear.
The crowd on the Common Reed Bank gradually dispersed.
The trauma of their failure had long since disappeared, and most people were discussing the top ranked player from the Famous People Rank as well as his heroic manner that had stunned everyone. Even though they were part of the crowd which had attacked Happy, they were still filled with enthusiasm and did not grow bored of talking about him.
Once Happy put away his loot, his qi had also mostly returned. He tapped against the ground, and with a few jumps, he left the general’s corpse and headed for the twelve ships, which looked devastated and were in a disorderly mess.
The quest had ended though, and the danger was dissolved.
The armed escorts from the Murong Clan began to reorganize the ships. At the same time, they disconnected the circle formation so they could leave down the river.
“Officer Happy!”
When Xu Hong Happy return, he and his group surrounded him with surprise and delight on their faces.
“General Yang is dead, so there are no more people who can block the Murong Clan’s fleet anymore. Officer Happy, you have contributed greatly to this. I will definitely report it to the clan leader personally!”
“Officer Xu, you’re embarrassing me. The lady made arrangements for me to escort you along the way, and protecting the ships has always been part of my duty,” Happy said while wrapping his fist in his palm.
Naturally, Xu Hong could not help but compliment Happy even more on the matter.
However, his tone changed when he spoke after that. “But killing an official from the imperial court can be a major matter, but it can also be a minor matter as well. Officer Happy, you must be careful. Western Deport, Eastern Depot, and Six Doors won’t let you go easily!”
Happy said nothing, but he put on a grave expression.
The spies of Western Depot and Eastern Depot were spread all over the country and took up various jobs. Their information network was very up to date. Right then, Happy had killed an official from the imperial court, and that man was even a high-ranking navy general. The two organizations would definitely not let him off after doing such a thing. Regardless of the cause of the event, they would send someone to capture him, so Happy would be in huge trouble for the foreseeable week.
“Officer Happy, it’d be best if you left as soon as possible. If the people from the Western Depot and Eastern Depot catch up to you, you’ll find it very difficult to move around the river, and it’ll be very hard for you to escape,” Xu Hong said.
“There’s no longer any need for you to escort us, so it’d be better if you left right now and hid far away. Wait until I report this matter to the clan leader, and he will handle it. Perhaps this matter will soon be suppressed.”
“That’s the only way now.” Happy sighed, looked around, and wrapped his fist in his palm to salute the people around him. “Then, until we meet again!”
“Take care of yourself!”
The group wrapped their fists in their palms and saluted him as well.
Without any hesitation, Happy changed into inconspicuous attire and rushed into the common reeds, where he vanished from sight.
The ships from the Murong Clan did not continue lingering around. They sailed slowly down the river and left the area.
*****
Western Deport and Eastern Depot reacted to the situation incredibly quickly!
Less than two hours after Happy left Common Reed Bank and came to rest at a small town nearby to ask whether there were any ports around the area from a waiter…
Thud, thud, thud!
Hurried and heavy footsteps came from the stairs.
The players in the restaurant scowled. They were very displeased by the sudden noise. When they looked over, however, their anger was replaced by surprise.
Around ten expressionless men in Flying Fish Suits rushed over with cold faces. A few of them behind the group even held chains while looking very fierce!
The person in the lead was built and tall. He had a saber by his waist while he walked up the stairs in an arrogant manner. His cold and mighty gaze swept through the area, and all those sitting at the tables felt as if they had been pierced by needles when they met his gaze. All of them looked away.
“Hmph!”
The man snorted derisively and shook a white piece of silk in his hands open. The clear portrait of a person appeared before the players’ eyes, which looked very lively.
When they saw the young and handsome face on the portrait, all the people upstairs cast their gazes at the person who had entered not too long ago and was sitting near the window at the left side of the restaurant!
With the portrait as their guidance, the men in brocade robes also swiftly found their suspect. They went to him with loud thuds and drew their weapons.
“You sure came fast.” Even though Happy said that, he did not even quirk an eyebrow. Even if he was surrounded by a group of Embroidered Uniform Guards who looked murderous and glared at him fiercely, he did not show even the slightest hint of unease.
His composure made the other players in the restaurant curious and expectant, even though they were also filled with glee over his misfortune!
The person in the lead stopped in front of Happy with s saber in hand. His gaze was fierce, and when he spoke, he did so while towering over Happy. His tone was very aggressive too!
“You’re Happy?”
Happy calmly poured himself a cup of wine, then downed it in one go.
Just before the Embroidered Uniform Guards’ gazes burned with anger, he said, “I am.”
“Then, you were the one who killed General Yang of the imperial court at Common Reed Bank half a day ago?” The man’s tone turned colder, and the people behind him shook the chains that were as thick as a toddler’s forearm at the perfect timing. It was a terrifying combination.
“He deserved death.”
Happy calmly poured himself another cup of wine. His demeanor made it seem that he was talking about something that was unrelated to him, causing the people in the restaurant to feel as if they were watching an impromptu movie that had never been rehearsed before. They idea of it instantly excited them.
“Hmph.” The leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guards snorted coldly while holding his saber hilt. “Are you saying that you admit to your crimes?!”
“Admit to what crimes?” It was only then that Happy cast him a glance. “I’m just saying that he deserved death…”
The leader’s gaze was filled with anger. “Excuses! Guards! Lock him up! Interrogate him once we bring him to prison!”
The Embroidered Uniform Guards responded to the orders with a loud shout. Then, they lifted the chains to wrap them around Happy.
Happy’s gaze turned cold.
Bang!
The table in front of him was crushed to pieces, and it knocked the Embroidered Uniform Guards on their backs.
“You can’t escape!”
The leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guards had already activated his qi. In the chaos, he roared in anger and ran out into the streets like a tiger charging down the mountain. His gaze was locked on Happy, who moved through the crowd like a swimming dragon.
