Chapter 616: The Prophecy of Atlanta

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing how the elderly man looked like an immortal, exactly like a typical wise old man, Berserk Heavenlaw was slightly more convinced.

“So it’s him?” Berserk Thundergod asked as he pointed at the old man.

“Hey, hey, hey, Boss, show more respect...” Everyone panickedly pushed Berserk Thundergod’s finger down.

NPCs had a Familiarity system for the players. Actions such as pointing fingers at them were very offensive.

If this old man was some out-of-the-world expert, they would be in trouble. After all, based on his looks, in any book, this old man looked like a retired veteran living in seclusion in a cave. Of course, living in a library was not much better.

Fearless coldly said, “Rubbish. Don’t you see how he has the word ‘Librarian’ on his forehead?”

Indeed, the old man’s hat had the words “Librarian (Berserk Thunder City)”.

“...” Berserk Thundergod gritted his teeth then turned around to speak to the Librarian, “I would like to buy a hint.”

“En.” The old man looked up and glanced at Berserk Thundergod then said with a smile, “One hundred for one question, no bargaining. Seeing that your main city’s merit points are very low, the system will begin automatic deduction.”

NPCs’ first impression of players was based on their merit points which was a hidden attribute that was very difficult to increase. As Berserk Heavenlaw lost their hold on Ironcliff Fortress once, all the players in Berserk Heavenlaw had very low Berserk Thunder City’s merit points.

“So f*cking expensive?” Berserk Thundergod exclaimed.

“Sorry, the pricing mechanism isn’t within my knowledge boundaries. Next question, please.” The old man smilingly said.

“Hahahaha...” Quan Zhen Sect burst out laughing after hearing those words, especially Vainglory who was exceptionally happy.

This old man was so crafty as he knew how to insult them subtly. It seemed like he was not some prim and proper NPC.

“Damn, that was a question?” Berserk Thundergod saw how he had 100 gold less in his bag and was instantly furious.

“Yes. Next question, please.” The old man nodded and another hundred disappeared.

“Hahaha.” Vainglory almost shed tears from laughing.

“You must be from Quan Zhen Sect too, right?” Berserk Thundergod raised his hand and sent a bolt of lightning toward the old man’s head. However, the old man waved his fingers and instantly, Berserk Thundergod’s thunder and lightning seemed as though they were shocked by something before disappearing without a trace. At the same time, a -356 injury appeared above Berserk Thundergod’s head.

<System Notification: Intentionally attacking a functional NPC, main city’s merit points -20.>

“Argh!” Seeing what happened, everyone’s jaw dropped. Although Berserk Thundergod was not a good man, he was still counted as one of the top experts of Berserk Thunder City. With extravagant outfits and accessories, he looked so much more professional than other players.

This old man simply moved his fingers and he managed to absorb Berserk Thundergod’s spell. He must be of quite a high level.

“I am called Reynolds, I don’t know what Quan Zhen Sect is.” The old man said calmly as his white beard moved in the wind, looking authoritative

“Reynolds, this name sounds so familiar.” Everyone was pondering after hearing the old man’s words, then mumbled, “The Grand Wizard, Reynolds?”

“Yes, that’s me. One hundred gold coins per person.” The old man smiled so widely his eye wrinkles appeared as everyone present had one hundred gold coins less.

“...”

After the old man spoke, everyone was silent. They did not even realise that there was a hundred less gold in their bags.

One of the Seven Heroes, the Grand Wizard, Reynolds, was actually in Berserk Thunder City...

However, any player who watched the game’s background introduction would know that the Grand Wizard, Reynolds’, hometown was Berserk Thunder City. Then again, the Magicians had never seen Reynolds. The Magician in Reynold’s house was called Ryan, Reynolds’ disciple.

Although Ryan was also a legendary NPC, he still could not match up to Reynolds, so even local players in Berserk Thunder City also suspected if Reynolds was really in Berserk Thunder City.

However, they never thought that this mysterious man was hiding in the Magicians’ Academy’s library.

After half a minute, everyone finally realised what was going on. Berserk Thundergod said, “I...”

Before Berserk Thundergod could speak, he was pushed to the back by Moonless Thunder and the rest.

He often spoke without thinking. If he angered the Grand Wizard Reynolds, how could they still complete the hidden quest?

“Master Reynolds, I would like to ask you about something.” Moonless Thunder said respectfully.

“From 100 gold coins, no negotiation is allowed...” Reynolds said the same thing, then reminded, “Young man, think before you ask.”

Reynolds’ words touched Moonless Thunder to tears and thought, “He is indeed one of the seven heroes. He does think about everyone’s well-being, unlike those NPCs out there, only out to cheat players of their money.” As he forgot how he was also cheated of a hundred gold coins just now.

After thinking for a bit, Moonless Thunder said, “I would like all the background information regarding Atlanta.”

“Fixed price, 100000 gold coins.” Reynolds’ words defeated Moonless Thunder completely.

When Quan Zhen Sect asked about the storyline, the Atlanta dungeon was not opened. That few words already cost them 2000 gold coins. Now that the dungeon was opened, the background story is now locked up. Hence, ten thousand gold coins was not too much to ask for.

Moonless Thunder broke out in cold sweat, and said, “Then I would only like information regarding the Atlanta’s Brilliance.”

“2000 gold coins, seems like you don’t have enough money,” Reynolds said.

“...” Moonless Thunder silently took Berserk Thundergod’s wallet and put it in front of Reynolds.

Reynolds waved and the wallet disappeared. He started explaining with a straight face.

Atlanta’s Brilliance is the sacred item of the Atlanta tribe. In ancient times, before Atlanta drowned in the Ocean of Death, the Atlanta tribe’s Prophet already made the prophecy that a calamity was about to fall on them. Hence, he split the Atlanta’s Brilliance into six pieces and passed then to the six most outstanding people of Atlanta to bring them to six holy hidden grounds, in order to escape the disaster and continue their tribes’ bloodline.

Now that Atlanta City has surfaced, the Atlanta’s Brilliance is once again shining. With the Cornetts sounding again, by gathering the six pieces and handing them to the current Atlanta’s tribe leader, Atlanta will reappear on the <<REBIRTH>> mainland.

“Who is the current tribe leader of Atlanta?” Moonless Thunder puzzledly asked.

“Me.” Reynolds pointed at himself.

-100 gold coins.

“Where are the hiding grounds of the six pieces?” Moonless Thunder asked again.

Reynolds said, “Only the Prophet of the Atlanta tribe knows.”

-100 gold coins.

“Where is the Prophet?”

“There are many Prophets in this world. You need to give me his name.”

Their funds were burning out.

“What is Atlanta’s Prophet’s name?” Moonless Thunder asked again desperately. The system was indeed using means and ways to earn gold coins. Luckily Moonless Thunder could afford it. If not, he really could not ask these questions.

“Atlanta’s Prophet is called Regis. He is a great Magician instructor and also a scientist. He is also my mentor.” Reynolds said respectfully.
