Chapter 321 Chapter320-Tide Guild's Call for Help
In a way, what Saphir had mentioned was the truth.
John had chosen three pieces of equipment and items from Saphir's prized collection, all intended for Emma.
For one, Saphir's treasures didn't genuinely intrigue John.
Even the most precious legendary equipment and items held no significant value to him.
Moreover, given Saphir's standing as a Fire Grand Archmage, his class attributes were strikingly similar to young Emma's.
Naturally, his collection would be more suitable for her.
The thought of that naive girl, who had given her all to him, brought an unintentional, tender smile to John's face.
Their bond had grown to the point where the line between 'you' and 'me' had blurred.
So, of course, John would exhaust every means to ensure Emma's growth in strength.
Only by her becoming formidable can she stand her ground during the impending invasion from the parallel world.
Although John possessed the capability to shield those close to him, he couldn't possibly protect them around the clock.
...
Having left the tavern, Saphir made his way to the Silverglow Mercenary Hall.
John, now alone on the street, momentarily felt at a loss for what to do next.
The players around him seemed busy, either rushing out of the city to fight monsters and level up, or to complete quests.
Others, just returning from outside the city walls, looked exhausted, ready for some rest.
While John could also take on the quests these average players were doing, it didn't seem meaningful.
Quests designed for players under level 100, with their rewards and experience boosts, seemed mere drops in the bucket for him.
After some contemplation, he sent all the rewards, including equipment, items, and Skill Books (except for 100,000 gold coins), that he received as a bounty from Cloud Sea, to Blue Sea.
Soon after, a notification lit up on his communicator.
Blue Sea had sent a question mark.
John: This is the mercenary reward for eliminating the AGHHO base. Thanks to the intel you provided, it's only right that these rewards go to you.
Blue Sea: ... Galewind, aren't you being overly gracious?
John: It's only fitting. Without the information you provided, we would've been in the dark about AGHHO's base location.
Blue Sea: That's a stretch. Cloud Sea had already assigned this quest to the Mercenary Guild. It would've been made public soon. Even if I hadn't told you, you would've found out eventually.
John: Hahaha, still, it's not quite the same...
Blue Sea: Your generosity makes me a bit uncomfortable. I didn't really contribute much, just gave you a heads-up. How am I qualified to accept these pieces of equipment and items?
John: Just take them. Their attributes are pretty average, and they don't aid me in any way. You, on the other hand, manage the entire Blue Sea Guild. You've got a vast empire to run, unlike me.
Blue Sea: ...
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while.
Blue Sea, familiar with John's resolute nature, knew that John was one to stand by his word.
So, after a brief reluctance, he accepted the equipment and items.
As John was closing the communication channel, he noticed a blinking friend request notification.
Ever since his rise to fame in the Godslayer game world, many have tried to add him as a friend.
Yet, John had accepted none.
But this friend request was different; clearly marked was the applicant's name: Tide Guild--Dirge.
John thought of the girl he had encountered previously in the arena, who also seemed to be from the Tide Guild.
Tide Guild was an enterprise of the Taylor Group. Benjamin Taylor had specifically asked him before to look out for them in the game.
Given his decent relationship with Benjamin Taylor, John found no reason to decline such a simple request.
So, John clicked accept.
Dirge: Wow! It really is the Galewind big shot!! Oh my God! I thought MoonWhite was lying to me before!
A frown formed on John's face; he had a bad feeling about this tone.
Does this Dirge sound... like a girl?
John: Hello, I'm Galewind...
Dirge: Ahhhh!! Galewind big shot, I'm your idol... I mean, you're my idol! I didn't believe the boss earlier when he said he knew you, but it's true!! This is great, can I get your autograph, Galewind big shot?
John shook his head in mild exasperation.
Is everyone in this Tide Guild a bit off their rocker?
They all seem to speak in this peculiar manner.
MoonWhite from the previous encounter was the same, talking non-stop without giving room for a response.
John: If there's a chance, sure. But remember, while I did promise Chairman Taylor to assist Tide Guild, I still have my own affairs. So, only reach out when you genuinely face insurmountable issues...
Dirge: Alright, I get it. However, there is something we'd like to ask for your help with right now.
John's eyebrows shot up: What is it?
Dirge: It's a bit embarrassing, but some time ago, due to a boss battle, we had a conflict with another guild. They then directly initiated a Guild Battle. Our guild, being relatively new and not as established, simply can't match them.
John: Which guild is this?
Dirge: Wolf Guild...
John paused for a moment, slightly taken aback.
He never expected to hear the name Wolf Guild here again.
Weren't they severely beaten the last time?
How are they now picking fights in a Guild Battle?
John: When does the Guild Battle start? Send me the coordinates of your guild's location.
Dirge: The Guild Battle has already begun. We've been on a constant retreat. Galewind big shot, can you come over if you're free now?
John: ...Wait, if you're already in the midst of the Guild Battle, why were you chatting so much earlier?
Dirge: (Sheepishly) Well, I got a bit carried away meeting my idol...
John: ...
He was now completely certain that the members of this guild definitely had some quirks.
Dirge quickly sent over the coordinates of Tide Guild's location.
John glanced at it. The location was in a valley to the east of Silverglow.
In fact, many guilds chose locations on the outskirts of towns for their base.
When guilds level up, their territories expand, and their structures increase, making it impractical to set up within towns.
Even the world's top ten guilds must adhere to the game's rules.
However, these elite guilds often spend vast sums to purchase or lease a building in major towns, using them as their offices.
Of course, the magnitude of such acquisitions depends on the guild's strength.
Guilds of the caliber of Blue Sea Guild and Genesis Guild, the top-tier ones, essentially have their own branch offices in every town.
However, medium-sized guilds like Tide Guild usually only rent one or two rooms in larger towns, given their limited number of members.
Offices within the towns, protected by the City Guard, rarely witness large-scale combat.
The so-called Guild Battle is essentially an assault on a guild's base.
If a guild's core is breached during such a conflict, it signifies the loss of the Guild Battle.
The best outcome in such a scenario is a downgrade. In more severe cases, the guild might even be disbanded by the system!
As these thoughts ran through his mind, John headed out of Silverglow.
To the east of Silverglow lay a vast region devoid of any significant monsters or high-level bosses, making it a popular choice for smaller guilds to establish their bases.
A guild's emblem signifies its core.
Upon selecting a location, a series of buildings are automatically generated, accompanied by a small defensive barrier.
Generally, it's more than enough to fend off ordinary monsters.
However, once a Guild Battle kicks off, these barriers seem rather fragile.
If the attacking party is strong enough, breaking through is merely a matter of time.
With these thoughts, John quickened his pace towards Tide Guild's base, a sense of trepidation rising in his heart.
He was well-aware of the brutal nature of a Guild Battle, and he knew all too well what the members of Wolf Guild were like.
Against the less powerful Tide Guild, they certainly wouldn't hold back.
Soon, the valley was within sight.
The sound of system alerts echoed in John's ears:
[System Notification: You are about to enter the Guild Battle zone. Please alter your course or risk being embroiled in the Guild Battle!]
[System Notification: You are about to enter the Guild Battle zone. Please alter your course or risk being embroiled in the Guild Battle!]
[System Notification: You are about to enter the Guild Battle zone. Please alter your course or risk being embroiled in the Guild Battle!]
...
The system urgently issued the warning three consecutive times.
Yet, John remained unfazed, not breaking his stride. In his view, a skirmish between two second-tier medium guilds was hardly a threat to him.
As he was about to enter the valley, John discreetly concealed himself.
The scene unfolding before him made him quietly furrow his brows.
The entire Tide Guild's base was consumed by chaos, with the sounds of battle echoing continuously. The defensive barrier had long been activated, but against the relentless assault of the enemies, it looked so frail.
Under the ceaseless bombardment of various skills, the barrier's shield wavered, appearing on the verge of shattering.
Members of Wolf Guild, fierce and relentless, were ferociously assaulting Tide Guild's defensive barrier!
