The fact that John, with his capabilities, was drawn to an NPC character speaks volumes.
He kept silent, subtly activating his Eye of Artemis.
Sure enough, a small line was added to the waitress's profile:
[Mage Class (Enchantress)].
John was startled that a regular detection spell couldn't reveal the true class of these waitresses.
He surmised someone had cast a cloaking spell on them.
Finally, John understood why Silver Manor had such an influx of patrons.
With top-tier Enchantresses like these, attracting customers would be no challenge.
Clearing his throat and lowering his gaze, he found himself less enticed by the bunny girl before him, now that he was aware of her powers.
Once they reached the second floor, the waitress guided John to Suite No.8.
He pushed open the door, surprised to find only Blue Sea and Adam inside, each accompanied by a ravishing beauty tending to their needs.
Upon seeing John, Adam's eyes lit up, and he quickly stood up.
"Brother Galewind, you're finally here! If you were any later, this fine Dragon Tongue Wine would've been wasted on Blue Sea," he joked as he ushered John to his seat.
Lazing on the couch, Blue Sea allowed a beautiful woman to feed him a cherry-like fruit.
Hearing Adam's teasing, he couldn't help but retort, "I only had one sip, you're just spouting nonsense with your eyes wide open!"
Adam laughed heartily, appearing jovial.
John returned a faint smile, saying, "With the two Guild Leaders inviting me so graciously, how could I refuse? I was just delayed and hence, late."
Adam, hospitable as ever, held up a filled cup to John, "Have a taste. This is Silver Manor's rare Dragon Tongue Wine, not something just anyone can get their hands on."
John took a sip from the cup.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe taste was indeed remarkable, rich and slightly sweet.
More importantly, as soon as the wine went down, a system prompt appeared: [You have consumed Superior Dragon Tongue Wine, Speed +100, Strength +50, Duration: 1.5 hours]
John opened his eyes in surprise.
He didn't expect the Dragon Tongue Wine to provide buffs.
No wonder it was so coveted; it was more of a consumable item rather than just wine.
"How is it? Pretty good effect, isn't it?"
Blue Sea winked at John, appearing quite self-satisfied.
Only when he was with John, would Blue Sea drop his usual stoic and stern demeanor, seeming more laid-back and casual.
John nodded, "Indeed, it's a good wine." Seeing John's satisfaction, Adam breathed a sigh of relief.
Blue Sea chuckled, "This wine is exceptionally rare, even here at Silver Manor. If Adam didn't have a connection with the owner, they wouldn't sell it at all."
John politely acknowledged Adam's efforts, understanding Blue Sea's hint.
The underlying message was to show how much Adam valued him.
Recognizing Adam's sincerity, John was willing to return the respect.
Suddenly, John posed a question, "You seem quite familiar with the owner of Silver Manor, Adam. Do you know his true identity?"
Adam smiled, nodding slightly.
He gave a light tap on the voluptuous woman's curvy rear, indicating both women to leave the room as he had private matters to discuss.
His smooth move made John raise an eyebrow.
It appeared that this Guild Leader Adam was quite the ladies' man...
Once the two ravishing women exited the suite, Adam pondered for a moment before replying, "Truthfully, I don't know whether the NPC I met is the real owner of the manor, but he does hold a lot of sway in Silver Manor."
"It was a serendipitous encounter during a class change quest. The NPC got stuck in my quest instance for some reason. After I completed my quest and the instance disappeared, I was able to rescue him. Maybe that's why he's always been grateful to me, and gradually, we developed a rapport."
"The fellow is a high-level mage, named... Myst… Yes, he shares the same surname as the Northern Myst Empire's royal family. I assume he is a member of the royal family, but I'm not clear on his exact role," Adam shared all the information in one breath.
Then, curiously, he asked John, "Brother Galewind, why are you interested in the owner of Silver Manor?"
John shook his head, casually replying, "Just curious..."
However, he was already forming a hypothesis in his mind.
It appeared that the Northern Myst Empire's royal family was secretly cultivating rare class holders, like the Enchantresses.
Once considered a support class, it was supposed to have disappeared from Godslayer Continent long ago due to its low combat power.
But encountering it again in Silver Manor hinted at the royal family's efforts in reviving and nurturing it.
Unsure of the real intent behind this, John decided not to ponder too much, but to keep it in mind.
Adam took a sip of his wine, a thoughtful look on his face, "Sometimes, it's hard for me to believe we're playing a game. The NPCs in here, they behave so human-like, it's hard to think of them as mere code."
Blue Sea agreed wholeheartedly, "Indeed, many times I feel as if we've been suddenly transported to a different world, rather than into a game created by someone else."
"Why do you say that?" John maintained his poker face, but his mind was suddenly alert.
As expected, the guild leaders of these major guilds were no fools.
They had already noticed the subtle differences between Godslayer and other games.
Adam explained, "The NPCs in this game have an extraordinary level of autonomy. They can converse with us without any hindrances, act freely, and they simply don't behave like a programmed code."
"Also, you can physically experience a lot of things in this world."
"None of these features were possible in any of the other games I've played before."
"I can't even imagine what kind of advanced development system would be required to create a game that mimics the real world so closely."
John simply smiled without saying a word.
In his heart, he had also had some speculations...
After inheriting The Devil's memories, John knew many unknown secrets about the world of the Godslayer game.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSome of the content in these secrets was too shocking to share with others at this stage.
Seeing both Adam and Blue Sea lost in thought, John raised his glass, smoothly changing the subject, "Speaking of which, congratulations are in order for Blue Sea, your guild has successfully upgraded to a Level 4 guild, hasn't it?"
Blue Sea replied with a joyous nod.
Even the usually composed Blue Sea couldn't contain his delight at the mention of this, "Yes, we've completed the upgrade. Our guild is now the only Level 4 Guild in Godslayer."
Adam interjected, "Speaking of which, Blue Sea here silently pulled off a big surprise."
Blue Sea laughed heartily, then raised his glass to John, "I have to thank you, Brother Galewind. Without you, it would've been hard for me to get the Level 4 Guild Establishment Order."
John shrugged nonchalantly, "It was no big deal."
Adam, driven by curiosity, asked, "Now that you're here, Galewind, can you tell me how you obtained the Level 4 Guild Establishment Order? You always sidestepped the question before. After all the effort I've put in, you owe me an answer."
Adam's expression became serious as the topic shifted to business.
Blue Sea nodded, "Don't worry, I always honor my commitments. I've promised to share the process of upgrading to a Level 4 Guild with you, and I won't break my word."
Adam huffed, "It's because I trust your integrity that I agreed to pay such a huge price to get your information. Otherwise, do you think I'd willingly share the Serpent King's Blade with your guild?"
John remained silent, drinking his wine with an air of indifference.
Listening to their conversation, it seemed that they had completed some sort of deal in private.
After Blue Sea's guild became the first Level 4 Guild in Godslayer, Adam naturally couldn't sit still.
Genesis Guild and Blue Sea's guild were both among the top ten guilds worldwide.
Now that Blue Sea's guild had taken the lead in upgrading, it had seen a significant increase in strength.
How could the proud and ambitious Adam bear this?
So, he contacted Blue Sea, hoping to learn the process of upgrading to a Level 4 Guild.
After much negotiation, they reached an agreement.
Adam had to acquire a piece of Legendary Equipment and share it with Blue Sea's guild.
In return, Blue Sea agreed to share the entire process of upgrading to a Level 4 Guild, and provide Adam with a piece of information that could possibly lead to a Guild Establishment Order.
That's why they were able to collaborate at the previous auction, allowing Adam to secure the "Serpent King's Blade" at such a high price.
