Chapter 307: A Blooming Flower in the Wasteland
The East and West servers, as stated in the announcement, had yet to clash with one another. In fact, many players only realised that the game was separated into two servers through the announcement.
The East naturally referred to the Ten Eastern Cities, while the West was the Ten Western Cities. Although racial discrimination no longer existed in the current era, humans were still competitive in nature; whod want to fall behind in a game? This nature was further amplified by the separation of servers, with some players from the East boasting about giving the West a beating.
However, both sides had been completely cut off from one another and lacked the means of competing with one another until now. The game publisher, World, had done an exemplary job at blockading information from the players. Players from the East couldnt access any information of the West and vice versa, so their knowledge of one another was purely based on nothing but rumours.
Two rumours were particularly rampant: that the East had a masked king, and the West had a blonde god.
Drako Yau finished off the giant scorpion before him. With Dakkis dances, taking care of the scorpions was no more than a stroll in the park. However, he had been walking for almost two days already, yet all he met was Dakki and no one else.Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates
Just how large is this map?
His journey so far wasnt fruitless though. As he continued to walk, he noticed that the surroundings were gradually changing, the differences so minuscule that theyd slip past ordinary people. Drako Yau only sensed the changes due to his enhanced senses from prolonged usage of Frost Form. The air was slightly moister and lacked the pungent scent of rotten flesh like before. Fewer cracks were visible on the ground, replaced by tough soil that was a tad bit softer.
This should be the right direction.
As expected, Dakki suddenly exclaimed from beside, Look! Ahead!
Drako Yau focused his gaze and saw the faint outline of a structure at the horizon. It caught their attention like an island in the vast oceanan uplifting sight indeed.
Lets head over there, he said.
Zeus once stood atop a mountain in anticipation of his reunion with the masked man. Now, Drako Yau set his sights on the unknown structure near the horizon with the same thought in mind.
This time, it wasnt just a simple duel under the gazes of the six Castellans. Their contest was no longer limited to martial prowess, but also intellect, strategy, subordinates, and many moreit was an all-out war.
The vague silhouette of a human gradually came into sight. On this vast land of nothingness, players were as noticeable as a drop of ink on a white canvas.
Sensing that someone was closing in, Drako Yau mentally prepared himself for battle. Both parties didnt head for each other and instead continued towards their common destination. Like two sharks that picked up the same scent of blood, theyd eventually meet as they were headed for the same location.
The silhouette turned out to be a person donned in exquisite traditional Chinese clothing. He had the poise of an elegant poet from ancient times, treading the chaotic world gracefully with gentle steps, each of which seemed to make a flower bloom in this desolate land.
The man was both obscure and well-known; he never showed himself apart from certain occasions, so most couldnt associate his appearance with his reputation.
Mister Mask, we finally meet, he said with a refined yet unbridled smile.
This was still a game world in the end, even for Drako Yau. For him, the major difference between here and reality was that every player had their IDs shown above their heads. No matter how inconspicuous someone was, their IDs still gave away their identity unless they hid it one way or another.
Hibiscus, a gentleman-like flower that bloomed on this barren land, right before Drako Yaus eyes.
