Chapter 387: Chapter 255: The Era of Great Pirates!_3

"Impossible!"

The Son of Heaven immediately shook his head, declaring decisively, "We’ve prepared and sacrificed a lot for Dawn City already, and besides, the other sky cities have all been tacitly claimed by the top powers of the world - the competition for those cities doesn’t pale in comparison to Dawn City."

"But... We’re up against the Ghost Captain..." said a worried face with a smile.

The Ghost Captain is a Legendary Master; this was now certified to be true.

If there was only one Legendary Master, it would be acceptable, but unfortunately, there was another Legendary Master by his side... For the time being, they were uncertain about the relationship between the two, but from prior information, the two were most likely tied together.

Which means, if they were to vie for Dawn City, the future opponents might very likely be the counterparts of two Legendary Snipers!

Devil: "What’s there to fear? Shard bearers can become immune to pressure, even if there are two Legendary Levels, the attribute just a bit higher than ours in a real fight, the gap in strength would not be conspicuous... Moreover, I always felt that the two people’s Legendary Levels are problematic..."

"What’s the problem?"

"Think about it, we were among the first beta players to enter the game when ’Fool’ was just launched two years ago, before these two showed up, we had always been leading in levels on Earth. And you all know how difficult it is to level up after level 20. Even if they have the ability to make the Evolution Elixir and don’t have a bottleneck, is it possible for someone to really level up to Legendary in just two years?" analyzed the Devil with a frown.

"So what’s your point?"

"That’s why I said, these two people’s Legendary Levels might be problematic, perhaps they used certain methods to temporarily raise their levels to Legendary, their actual level might only be two or three levels higher than ours at most!"

The Devil paused for a moment and continued, "Simultaneously, methods they use to bust up to Legendary Level must also have a huge restriction, it’s not plausible that they can use it anytime, otherwise, why didn’t either of them help out when the North American players and other powers sought them out? The best explanation is that they were unable to use their Legendary power at that time."

"Devil’s analysis is not bad, indeed this could be a possibility..." said the Son of Heaven.

At this moment, the Son of Heaven took a stand, acknowledged the Devil’s hypothesis, and then said, "In addition, we also have an area of superiority."

"What?" the two asked.

"These two people, have no power! They’re fighting a lonely battle!" the Son of Heaven said.

"Really..." the Smiley face somewhat disagreed upon hearing this, "Even if they didn’t join any power, they can still cooperate with the Celestial Dynasty, like the Dragon Group for instance, according to the information we’ve gathered so far, it appears they have a close relationship with these two..."

But the Son of Heaven shook his head, "A collaboration cannot be achieved that easily, especially in a situation where there can be only one City Lord, cooperation that can’t be completely trusted equals a burden..."

"After all this talking, what are we going to do now?" asked the Devil.

As the Son of Heaven scanned the responses on the forum, he shook his head after a while and said, "We should retract our post..."

"Huh? Are we really going to go along with what they want?" both of them were surprised.

"Yes, we’ll follow their proposal, our main objective after all is to gather all the shards..."

Gazing at the content of the Ghost Captain’s post, the Son of Heaven sneered, "August 26th, probably a date they chose based on their arrival time... eleven more days, plenty for others to get there. This should also boost our appeal, no need to worry about a lack of response from others... Give the command to reserve enough time for each door!"

"Alright..." both of them exchanged a glance and had no choice but to agree with the Son of Heaven’s command.

...

The Son of Heaven’s speculation was accurate, Mu You’s selection of August 26th was indeed a plan based on his usual entering time.

The next admission is the day after tomorrow, definitely not enough time to get to the Evil Spirit Sea Area, so it has to be the time after next, which is on the 26th.

On the forum, an hour after Mu You’s post was digged, a response finally came from the Son of Heaven’s side.

Contrary to many people’s expectations, Divine Right actually retracted their recruitment post!

At the same time, the Son of Heaven personally went to the Ghost Captain’s post to express his support for the Ghost Captain’s decision. He would bring two shards and meet at Turtle Island at the agreed-upon time.

In addition, the Son of Heaven called on other shard owners to go to Turtle Island by the 26th in order to open Sky City as soon as possible and provide players a place to settle. If anyone encounters any difficulties like not being able to make it there, they can contact Divine Right at any time and they would provide as much help as they could.

This seemingly appropriate statement incited a swearing spree from the Lion, like a hypocrite offering Buddha with borrowed flowers, claiming to be the number one black fan of the Son of Heaven.

However, Mu You was quite satisfied with the Son of Heaven’s statement, at least the other party chose to back down and didn’t insist on challenging him, or else it would turn into a protracted war and it wouldn’t be possible to carry out the future plan.

Of course, Mu You was also aware that his post would not only attract a few shard owners to Turtle Island, but a lot more players who were looking to stir up excitement and steal some victories.

There was no way around this, to gather the nine shards, a gathering point like this had to be announced, it would be impossible to stop other people from coming to watch the spectacle.

In any case, based on the current situation, he was actually at an absolute disadvantage in this City Lord contest.

The Son of Heaven was right in his analysis, he didn’t have a power he could rely on.

Apart from Lin Xue, there were hardly any helpers who could assist him.

He was alone while his counterpart was a whole coalition of powers, and they even grasped the city’s entrance ahead of him and could lay out their plans in advance...

So from Mu You’s point of view, there was no need to prevent others from arriving, instead, he should figure out ways to make the population at the Evil Spirit Sea Area as huge as possible!

Only by muddling the waters could he make his moves conveniently, after all, he was the only one holding the most important shard out of the nine - among all humans, only he knew what the city center would look like, and this was his biggest advantage!

The controversy over the shard assembly on the forum today thus came to an end, finally concluding with the Son of Heaven’s compromise and retreat, simultaneously invoking excitement among countless gamers.

August 26th!

This date had already become an important festival, because the first city in Fool, may very well emerge on this day!

The players were all overjoyed at the thought of Sky City, freely discussing the changes that would happen, and new features that would appear in the game once the city was built.

Of course, there was also a considerable number of players who, upon knowing the gathering point, immediately got excited.

Who said you must possess shards to contend for Sky City?

The server-wide task clearly stated: the first one to touch the center of the city will become the City Lord!

Which means, anyone capable of following the shard owners into Sky City, stood a chance to become the City Lord!

So, these ambitious ones harboring dreams of being a City Lord, regardless of the distance, immediately bought or rented a ship in the game, formed alliances with friends and set sail, heading off in the direction of the Evil Spirit Sea Area...
