Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

Chapter 152: The Test of Mystic Art Sacred Lands

He pointed towards Diana, who suddenly stretched out her hand to me with a golden batch with some writings on it. I took the batch after some hesitation and inspected it carefully.

My name was written above, with a clear line descending from me to below, where Diana's name was written there. The word 'Command' was written in the middle between us.

"This batch is specific for you, only you, so don't be afraid of losing it when dying. Even if you traded it with anyone, the batch would fly over and appear on your chest if you got away from it by one hundred meters. That's all done for securing the safety of players like you."

He had a point here, as I was sure what was happening here was being broadcasted all over the game world. if there was no such a guarantee, then it would be a life of hell to me if I wanted to keep Diana as my butler.

I sighed, it seemed I had to get used to this weird zombie-like attitude of this muscular lady.

"Now, are you ready for the good news?"

I was startled by his sudden question. I totally forgot that he mentioned some good news, as I was distracted by Diana and the contract. I nodded as my head began to spin looking for an answer, however I got none.

What news would be better than having a butler like Diana?

"Your master was just informed by your deeds and he is very satisfied by your performance so far. He said you are ready to take the challenge to become a formal disciple any time you want."

Ivort then took out a golden small ball and threw it to me while adding:

"This is the ball of entry, when you are ready to take the test, you can just rub it hard and say your name and your master's name then it will be activated at once."

I caught the ball in midair before I inspected it. it was like any normal ball, if I met it at any store it wouldn't attract my attention. That made me take a note of this, it seemed not all that was shiny was precious after all.

"What is this test, master?"

I had zero info about this test, so I needed to get any tip or info from Ivort as long as he was still on good terms with me here.

My attempt gave fruit to marvellous results, as I only wanted some tips, however I got myself a full explanation.

"Look, I know you came from a place far from here, so what I'm going to tell you now would be totally new for you. If you have any questions, just stack them together and ask them after I finish.

The test here is just a metaphor to something that some call a dungeon, while we prefer to call it a sacred land of mystic art users.

In fact I don't know which sacred land you will be sent to, as we have many sacred lands under our control. However I can tell you with absolute confidence that any sacred land is dangerous, very dangerous.

So, we stratified the sacred lands into grades based roughly on your general level, and this stratification system starts from level ten, with each five levels increasing each time.

Each increase had a tremendous change in the level of dangers there. we can't guarantee your safety, so I can't say waiting to get stronger might be a help here.

You need to gather up a team, twenty players. The average level of this team will determine the level of risk you will face at the sacred land.

Your mission is unknown, however once you set foot there you will get the mission informed to you by the game. you need to know that you have only ten times to die there, three of them with no penalty at all, and the rest with losing two levels of penalty.

If your level reached zero, or you used all your chances then you will be sent back here in the game again, however your level will be affected by the half penalty you took there.

So, it's not an easy test, waiting isn't a good option, and of course rushing out without prior preparations and arrangements isn't a good option either."

Actually that is a wicked test, who the hell chose that test to be forced upon players like me? he must have a twisted sick mind to do something like this.

It seemed my facial expression betrayed me, as Ivort smiled warmingly while saying:

"Little predisciple candidate, I just told you this place is only ruled by power. If you don't have enough power to go on, you won't even be able to stay at where you are.

Take Diana for example, she took a test for upgrading to the next rank over ten times and she failed in all of them. she lost her will, and began to become astray from the way.

Don't be naive, this place isn't as nice as that shitty game out there. we don't baby sit anyone here, or bottle fed them. we need warriors, not mere weak recruits."

Actually his words seemed a bit strange to me. why did I sense something from home in his words? I began to focus seriously this time, as I played back in my mind his explanation he just said to me.

And I found something weird, not one but more.

"May I ask some questions, master?"

I had questions in my head, and he said I could ask them after he ended, whoever I didn't know if he was still ready to answer them or not. After all I just sensed some anger in his voice just now, I didn't mean to anger him.

"Sure, ask whatever you have in mind."

"Thanks master, why do I feel like I'm going to a battlefield not to a mere game place?"

Once I said it, Ivort's face changed slightly before he regained his composure. He then clapped his hands for couple of moments before saying:

"That's wonderful, really wonderful. You managed to guess this detail just from my explanation? I'm just curious to know."
