The Immortal Player

Chapter 267: The Legendary Sword, Estan!

Everyone went back to their respective rooms with Aldo as the last one to leave the meeting room with Pedro. At this moment, Pedro utilizes this chance to talk to Aldo, saying, "Is the matter regarding the 'three transferees' complete?"

Aldo nodded in response and said, "Yes, Brother Pedro. They chose to take a separate path from us. Although they were a bit reluctant, they had no choice because they are a part of the University Head's family and had to establish a separate gaming organization from us. They would also leave our group for the ESSD Class [Electronic Survival Sports and Development Class] to avoid any conflicts in the interest of the two parties. Now, there's just you, me, Loren, and Sabrina in our 'squad' for the class."

"Were things properly documented?" Pedro asked as he closed the door.

"Yes! I sent the copy to your aunt as you instructed." Aldo said. "Fortunately, their squad change was allowed by the head because we were just their 'temporary' squadmates and the three girls had just transferred to the school when the formation of squads happened. Anyway, Things were handled cleanly, and later, I would be guiding them to the Tarala Kingdom and hand them over to the Adventurer's Guild."

Pedro simply nodded in response and said, "Sorry for the trouble, Bro Aldo! I really had high expectations for schoolmate Ashley. It was unfortunate that they can't join our guild."

Aldo nodded in response and said, "She and the Crazy Red Haired Flame NPC would be a perfect duo. Their unconventional sword styles would have been a great combinationcovering the lapses between each of their attack."

"Well There's nothing much that we could do about it. We can just focus on training the NPCs and hope that they would become stronger players in the future. Besides The First Order is being established. We can't hide behind the BHO all of the time. My relationship with the BHO is starting to get in the way of our interests. So, it's only a matter of time before we get dragged into the internal conflicts of BHO." Pedro said in response.

"Then, what about the Adventurer's Guild?" Aldo asked. "It is established under the influence of BHOby your authority."

"It can't be helped," Pedro said in a cold demeanor. "It's not like we can contain the players for a long time. We only did that to take advantage of the situation and earn as much profit as we can. Even Wey and Sabri knew about this."

"Ahh Such a waste" Aldo said in a depressed tone. "Then, what about the plans of expanding to the other continents?"

Pedro simply shook his head in response and said, "We can't get all shares of the cake if it is a world! All we got to do is to ensure that we got most of it!"

"Haiz I'll trust you on this Brother Pedro! I hope that we leading in the right direction!" Aldo said as Pedro stopped in front of the door of his room.

Then, Pedro smiled in response and said, "For now Focus on the training for the event. The announcement would be made soon. And we'd become busy in the next few days. The media is quite pesky these days So, be ready."

Aldo simply nodded in response and said, "I'll take that in mind! See you later, Brother Pedro! Don't hesitate to contact me if you need anything!"

"Thanks!" Pedro waved goodbye to Aldo as he entered his room. Then, he placed his important items into an isolated plastic basket before his eyes landed on the VR Box beside his bed. He chuckled, saying, "The First Order, huh? It seems like I need to start making ships."

Pedro did his nightly routine afterward, before playing the game. At this moment, Lony, Roval, and Arvedar were already practicing their usual training routine. By this time, unless Clara or Ragas has something new to teach them, they could just simply carry on the training by themselves.

Of course, Pedro was not excused from such training routines. He started on his own and did not wait for anyone to join him at the same time. Soon, all of them logged back into the game and followed the early birds in the training.

That said, after Sabrina completed the thousand punch of different ways and the thousand swings of different strikes, Pedro approached her and said, "Let's go. We have some things to do at the Kingdom."

"What about the training?" Sabrina asked.

"We'll join them later on. There are just some urgent matters that I need to do." Pedro explained. Then, he glanced towards Clara and said, "Clara, you're with us!"

"What's the hurry?" Clara asked.

Pedro simply smiled in response and said, "I don't want to lose a good sword!"

Without any further arguments, Pedro, Sabrina, and Clara departed to the Axutar Village and even immediately used the Teleportation Portal to the Tarala Kingdom. Then, they headed straight to Duke Albert's Auction Denwhere they were welcomed as if they were the second most important person next to Duke Albert.

"What matters does Captain have with my Auction Den to appear in such a short notice?" Duke Albert asked with a smile on his face.

Pedro smiled in response and said, "We're here to buy a sword!"

"A sword?" Duke Albert asked in a slightly astonished demeanor. Then, he faked a cough to calm himself and asked, "Perhaps you were informed that a good sword was being sold in our auction den? If you could kindly describe it to me, then I could probably arrange it and give it to you instead?"

Pedro simply shook his head in response.

This made Duke Albert frown and ask, "Is there any problem with the procurement, Captain Aron?"

"Well" Pedro forced out a smile as he pointed to the sword that was stabbed into the ground at the center of the open area and said, "I do not know if that's even for sale."

Duke Albert followed Pedro's glance and saw the bluish-gem-looking sword at the center of the Auction Den. Then, after a few seconds, Duke Albert laughed and said, "To think that Captain Aron was interested in the sword of the Legendary Knight of Estanian!"

At this moment, Duke Albert clapped his handsconsequently summoning several Auction Managers towards them, and said, "Please clear the open area! Captain Aron wants to try drawing the Legendary Sword!"

"Yes, your highness!" The Auction Managers responded in unison with a bow. Then, in the next second, everyone in the open area was assisted back into the first floor of the Auction Mansion as Duke Albert bowed slightly towards Pedro whilst pointing towards the sword.

Duke Albert smiled and said, "It would be our honor for Captain Aron to try pulling the sword out of the stone."

Pedro nodded in response as he slowly approached the sword. The gazes of everyone followed Pedro as the echoes of his footsteps could be heard in the surroundings. Then, when he reached the sword, he took a deep sigh before he grabbed the handle and pulled the sword.

The veins on his right hand seemed like it was about to burst as the bluish gem-looking blade of the sword started to shine brighter in color. Then, the circular design at the center of its handle guarda bird whose beak was pointed to its blades, suddenly rotated and locked with a click.

Now, the bird's beak in the design was pointing towards one side of the sword, while a blinding light runs through the carvings on the design of the swordfrom its handle's guard to its very own handle. And at this moment, Pedro was able to pull the sword out of the rock as intense pressure was emanated by the sword.

Fortunately, Pedro and Sabrina were able to train the first two stages of Mana Utilization, thus resisting the pressure was easy for them. On the other hand, Duke Albert and everyone else could only take a step back as they watch Pedro lift the sword casually.

"Such beauty!" Duke Albert said in amazement as the bluish light and golden light shine through their surroundingscoming from the sword in Pedro's hands.

Soon, the pressure weakened together with the light that the sword emanated. Then, a mysterious figure of a Knight shot out of the tip of the sword and was bluish in color. It approached Pedro like a hologram projection and asked, "Finally A worthy owner!"

"It is my great honor to be praised as someone worthy!" Pedro said with a smile.

"It is only natural!" The Mysterious Knight said as he knelt in front of Pedro and asked, "How should I address my humble owner!"

"Clara!" Pedro said with a smile.

The Mysterious Knight remained on his kneesbowing towards Pedro, and asked, "Are you referring to 'that' lady?"

Pedro simply nodded with a smile and said, "Yes."

"Very well!" The Mysterious Knight said, seemingly delighted in response. Then, the Mysterious Knight disappeared with the wind and reappeared in front of Clara. He asked, "My lady, Clara, please give this humble warrior a name!"
