Chapter 332: Journey to the Dragon Island part-3

"So, let me get this straight. If I get the historical documents that state that these dragons once lived here, you will leave, peacefully?" Orion asked Wil in a serious tone.

He never expected that one day, he would see a non-combat player with a unique profession and appearance.

Looking at Wil's appearance with Elf's ears, dragon scales, demonic horns and wing, and finally Angelic wing, Orion wondered whether there are hidden races like hidden classes.

At first, Orion even thought of him as an NPC. However, his usage of informal language without bothering about his grammar gave away his identity. Not to mention, Wil's accent alone is enough for Orion to figure out that he's from Western Continent.

But Wil's identity isn't important for Orion as his attention was completely on the little girl beside him.

Who could have expected that he gets to see a friendly mythic-grade dragon beast…

Ever since the mutations panel is introduced for the pets, Orion had suspected there might be a new grade above legendary+ grade or else, why would his friend say that mutation is available for his guardian beast.

And a couple of days ago, his suspicion has been proven by Wil revealing his Leon in the battle of Llyne. Now, he was directly seeing a mythic-grade beast with his eyes.

Immediately, greediness appeared all over his face as he stared at Iphi.

Wil, who realized it, immediately summoned the giant anaconda, which was one of the guardian beasts that he captured.

Due to its giant size, a few soldiers ended up crushed below it but didn't die though. 

Meanwhile, everyone quickly moved away to stay far from it.

As the native soldiers went in panic, Wil stared at him coldly and said, "know your place."

Only then did Orion realize how fearsome is this player. With a level-400 legendary+ grade beast as the opponents, Orion realized that he and his men's current strength is nowhere near enough to face them.

Even if he killed this guy in one move to dismiss the giant snake, his logical senses warned him that this girl might not be simple either. Who knows how much HP and Attack strength this girl has.

Not to mention, there's no guarantee that Wil doesn't have defending treasures on him.

Orion feared that if he made a wrong move, the chances of everyone on the island ending up dying would be quite high.

So, he behaved himself as escorted the both of them to his house with respect. At the same time, he was also curious about what kind of quest they are doing in this area.

Upon reaching the house, keeping the snake outside the house, Wil told him about his reason for the visit.

Orion fell into deep thoughts upon hearing that Wil was searching for the history of the dragons.

Taking advantage of Wil's request, Orion immediately deployed the soldiers to search for the ruins in all the islands. He also asked the natives for help.

He originally had such an idea before because of coincidentally finding a treasure chest in the ocean.

This was the very reason he stayed up on this island while the entire world is embroiled in wars.

For the past week, he has been fishing for the treasure chests in the ocean but never thought they might be present in the islands until he heard Wil's suggestion of ruins where the historical documents can be found.

Upon realizing the possibility of ruins, Orion put forth his plan. He asked Wil for a day of time and ordered his soldiers and citizens to inform him in secret if they ever find such ruins. He also ordered them not to explore it as they might be filled with danger.

One should say that this 14-year-old kid indeed became a bit mature and sly after playing the game for more than two months.

***

Wular City, Eastern Continent;

While Wil was busy with finding the traces of the dragon race, Hyori, on the other hand, was preparing for the competition in her own way.

Her injury was completely healed but she has yet to join the practice. Several contestants who are unfamiliar with her thought that she was just here to pass time.

Nevertheless, her beauty attracted several male contestants regardless of their divisions.

Coupled with her being the roommate of Sakura and the center of attention whenever she enters the dining hall, several girls also expressed their envy and talked behind her back.

Hyori didn't care about their opinions. For all day, she just meditated in her room and only stepped outside during lunch or dinner.

Now, the last day of the training is finished and from now onward, everyone had become rivals to each other.

As usual, she woke up early in the morning and proceed with her image training in her head.

"Even today? Did you forgot the date, already?" Sakura said to her while checking the conditions of her personal bows.

However, Hyori didn't give her a reply and remained silent.

"I guess you really intend to give up the tournament, aren't you?" Sakura commented after deciding to go with the compound bow over recurve and longbows.

The competition will allow all kinds of bows including even a crossbow as long as there's no optical enhancement device is installed. However, contestants very rarely use them in competitions as the public doesn't consider crossbow users as archers.

The same goes for personal bows. As long as there are no optical enhancement devices, the contestants are allowed to bring them.

After choosing the bow, Sakura reminded her one last time before leaving the room for her final practice before the game.

In the meantime, Hyori was replaying the last year's finals in her mind. Those high-speed robotic machines with targets on their bodies gave her quite trouble, back then.

So, instead of targets, Hyori used to change them into wild animals from War Online after finding that they increased her concentration. Now, she no longer 

Half an hour later, Hyori opened her eyes with a smile on her face, "Image training is successful. Now, let's check the practical results of my training."

Unlike Sakura, Hyori was only skilled with recurve bow and only brought one with her.

With the bow in her hand, she stepped outside of the room and went to the training ground. There aren't that many people left in the ground with everyone wanted to stay in the top shape.

"Hmm, this girl… Lee Hyori, right?" One of the mentors who was overlooking the contestants mumbled as she spotted her.

Hyori made quite an impression on her during the last year's high school division finals. She heard that this girl took rest because of a hand injury.

Hyori walked towards an empty target where quivers filled with arrows are being placed on the ground.

Taking one of them, she walked away 50 meters before drawing the bow.

*Ting*

A loud vibration erupted from the string as she released the arrow. 

The arrow cut through the air and strike at the dead center. "Accuracy, okay. Now, lets test the speed."

Hyori didn't stop there. She continued to fire the arrows at a rapid pace, almost releasing them instantly.

"What the…" The instructor was taken aback as she saw the whole Archery target is full of dozens of arrows when it's only been a minute since she turned away.
