LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 459: What Is He Doing Here?
The total of 73 players stared at the ten males before them in a daze, all flabbergasted.
"What the hell...?!"
An old woman, who looks her late 60s walked out from the players, stunning Tyson and the elders... Although she looks old, her body was filled with vitality... And clearly an Elite medal holder.
"AI, how many are we guarding?" She asked.
< One.>
The players were even more confused, staring at the ten men like fools, while the men were also staring at them.
"Vice Guild Master, Isn't that a kid?" Mountain asked, pointing his finger at a young boy with shoulder-length silver hair.
"Yes... A 15 years old, I think." Specter said, his gaze observing the men before them.
Whoosh!!
The players sharply turned around to the forest, seeing a getaway opening before them.
"This?"
THUD!
Reaper, Shenras, and the four other commanders walked out.
"Monsters!!!!" The old woman yelled.
The players quickly summoned their weapons, some pulled out their swords, and got in a defensive posture.
"Stop!!"
Queen-of-Death raised her hand, stopping the players, when they saw her, and the Conquerors... The Players were amazed.
"The Conquerors!"
"Yes! But why does that Wolf looks familiar?"
"...."
The old woman was silent, silently watching Queen-of-Death, who walked towards Shenras.
"We forgot you don't have an AI bracelet..." She sighed, and turned to Reaper.
"We're in some kind of trouble here, can any of you help?"
Reaper moved his gaze around the dried landscape, and fixed it on the young boy... Reaper's eyes narrowed, while the boy smirked at him.
"*What's he doing here?*" Apate asked.
Blood-Arrow followed their gazes, and fixed hers on the boy.
"You know him?" She asked, while the five commanders nodded their heads.
The players looked at one another in confusion. Enjoy new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
Why would the Conquerors be interested with a Kid? When AI made it clear they are guarding a man, not a boy.
Queen-of-Death and the elders all turned to the boy, and asked:
"Who is he?"
"*Aaron*"
The walkers said in unison.
None of the elders have heard of the name, but what if; Aaron is the one they'll be leading, and guarding?
Without hesitation, Queen-of-Death pointed at Aaron. "We choose him."
After some seconds, AI's voice sounded all over the place.
< First Team have chosen their Man.>
< The remaining Nine teams should choose.>
The old woman pointed her finger at a young man, and the four men behind her nodded in agreement.
< Second team have chosen their Man.>
< The Remaining eight teams should choose.>
Mountain watched as the rest teams choose all the men, remaining one for his team.
"What should we do, James? Pick like the others?" The young girl asked.
"No, Scarlett... We'll stick with our guild... There's one thing I have learned from VRG, Don't always trust AI..."
With that said, he yelled:
"We choose this Kid!!"
"Uh?"
"..."
Everyone was stunned, they all turned their heads to James and his team.
"Doesn't he know the Conquerors already picked that Kid?"
"Don't you know that guy?! He's a member of The Conquerors, that must be the reason he chose that kid."
"But, will AI accept it...? There must be a reason why there are ten males here." Another player said.
"Let's see how AI will reject him."
< The Fifth Team have chosen their man.>
"UH????"
"....!??"
"WHAT?!!!!"
"We Can Choose the same man?!!!"
"Why didn't AI give us that information?!!"
"Stop shouting!!"
The old woman yelled, the players quickly quiet down.
"Don't shout here, Out of all the men, One is the original one... We have all picked our guards, so now... Stick with it, and pray it's the real one... 50-50!!"
The players slowly nodded their heads:
"Mrs X has a point!"
"Yes!"
The four men behind her smiled with satisfaction, their gaze cold and arrogant.
Queen-of-Death just rolled her eyes at them, and turned to her group; they formed a circle, and she tapped on her bracelet.
Everyone stared at the Holographic image before them, and tried their best to read the map... But the unknown languages made this seemingly easy task extremely difficult.
"What is this?"
Red-Encounter pointed his finger at a location. The whole map was blank, pure white, with only the languages marking the landmarks.
The group followed Red-Encounter's finger and stared at the landmark he pointed.
[قبور الآله]
[Translation: Gods' Graves.]
"What do you think that stands for?" Unforgiver asked, turning to Red-Encounter.
"That's Arabic? And I think it has something related to... Graves?" Sweet-girl said, lost in thought... After a whole ten seconds, she sighed:
"That's all I remembered. Sorry."
"It's ok, Some of us don't even know what this it, at least you told us something related to it."
Mountain who stood behind them said.
"So we're not going there, right?" Aaron finally opened his mouth, moving his gaze on the humans before him.
They all turned their heads to Aaron.
"No. No one end well in a grave, especially in such a game." Blood-Arrow said, and turned her head back to the Holographic map, and continued:
"I understood Latin... And this here is the safest place... But although it's the safest, we have to explore all the map's landmarks, so we could get the main map, and can lead you to your destination." She said.
'Wow, she's smart, who is she?' Aaron thought.
"How do you know, we'll have to explore all the landmarks?" Zuko asked.
"Look at the words written on this landmark." Blood-Arrow pointed at the landmark on the top of the map.
The group turned their heads to the section:
[Termini: Greenwood
Regula: Explorare terminos integros in tabula geographica et percipe tabulam integram ut hominem ad destinationem ducat.]
[Translation: Landmark: Greenwood
Rule: Explore the whole landmarks on the map, and get the complete map to lead the man to his destination.]
Blood-Arrow translated everything to the group, while they blinked in surprise.
"You're good, Sister-in-law!!" Dark-angel exclaimed.
"Yes! My sister is the best!" White-death yelled.
"Wow, thanks Erika..."
Queen-of-Death smiled and tap the landmark on the map.
< Is this your selected Location? >
AI asked.
"Guys!"
The group turned to Mountain, who was moving his gaze on the empty land.
"Everyone is gone." He said in mild surprised.
"...."
The Conquerors and Aaron were stunned speechless.
