Chapter 936
At the Sword Grave, the word ‘grave’ had two meanings . It contained the works which Pagma had produced in his later years, and it was also Braham’s grave . The Sword Grave was a place with a deep connection to two former legends . It was likely to be one of the most significant places for Satisfy’s worldview, and therefore, Skunk’s Expedition Group were obsessed with the Sword Grave .
The moment they uncovered the mystery of the Sword Grave would be equivalent to when they uncovered the main Yatan Temple . No, maybe they could get even greater fame and riches for the Sword Grave . Skunk wanted to buy his own plane to travel around the world, Dog Woman wanted medical facilities that could prolong her terminally ill brother’s life, and Crocodile wanted to display more than 10 supercars in her garage .
Yes . Skunk’s Expedition Group had invested a year in the Sword Grave .
. . . And this would have continued until an uninvited guest appeared .
“G-Grid . . . !”
The person wore a crown on black hair and had a high nose . He had eyes as fierce as a bird of prey, and he had a muscular body that couldn’t be hidden with armor and a cloak . The Skunk Expedition Group felt hatred for him when they saw the uninvited guest and confirmed the ID above his head . Meanwhile, Grid cocked his head . “You are . . . ?”
Players unrelated to Pagma's Descendant shouldn’t know about the existence of the Sword Grave, let alone its location . Grid felt suspicious about the group of people who had arrived at the Sword Grave one step ahead of him .
“Were you chasing after me?” Grid’s eyes narrowed with suspicion .
“No . Isn’t that impossible? Our encounter should be a coincidence,” Skunk responded quickly . He didn’t want the past year to be wasted, so Skunk didn’t have a stupid idea in mind like blocking Grid . If Skunk were a fool, he wouldn’t have become the leader of a group or the representative of his class .
Skunk sighed because of his heavy thoughts and struggled to relax his stiff facial muscles . He had a really bright smile as he faced Grid . It was a smile that might make someone misunderstand that he was Grid’s fan .
“Grid, it is an honor to coincidentally meet you here . I am the 1st ranked explorer, Skunk . It is a humble name, but . . . perhaps you’ve heard of it?”
“Skunk? Ah . ” Grid couldn’t forget this name . It was a name that reminded him of farts, so it wasn’t easy to forget . He remembered that he had met Skunk at the Yatan Temple the first time Braham used Assimilation .
“I’m aware . You found the location of the main Yatan Church and made the news for a while . ”
“I’m honored that you know me . ” Skunk smiled, but he was inwardly surprised . Wasn’t Grid someone who talked nonsense and acted arrogantly in public? Why was he showing a polite attitude in a private place where he didn’t need to be aware of the eyes of others?
‘It can’t be because he is good-natured . . . ’ Skunk was analyzing the situation from a negative perspective . Grid was the ruler of a kingdom . The level of his intelligence network was different from that of ordinary players . Depending on his choice and selection, it was possible for Grid to grasp the current status of the Skunk Expedition Group .
Thus, Skunk concluded that Grid must’ve been watching the Skunk Expedition Group for a long time and waited for them to dig out the secrets of the Sword Grave on his behalf . The Sword Grave was a special place to Grid . Naturally, he would have been paying attention to it . So, he took advantage of them completely . . .
‘He is using honorifics because he feels sorry for me . ’
Skunk was stupid . He was aiming for a place related to Pagma, so he should’ve been alert to Grid . Yet he had been thinking about doing business with Grid without knowing the reality . This cost him .
“ . . . Um . ” Skunk found it harder to manage his facial expressions . He felt sorry for his colleagues, but he was also afraid of the wicked eyes in front of him . There was no place for Skunk to look . However, Skunk gathered his strength . He knew what he had to do . The eyes that had been flitting about in all directions calmed down, and he bowed deeply to Grid . “I’m sorry . ”
It was an apology filled with various meanings . One meaning was that Skunk was sorry for trying to preempt Grid’s quest . He also felt sorry for pretending it was a coincidental meeting . The other people were upset by Skunk’s actions though . Skunk’s colleagues and even Grid didn’t know what was going on .
“Skunk! What are you going all of a sudden?”
“Why randomly apologize?”
The Skunk Expedition Group started to cry out . Then Dog Woman quickly realized what Skunk was doing and told her companions to be quiet . On the other hand, Grid was alone . It was very difficult for him to judge the situation . “I don’t know why you are apologizing to me . ”
Upon hearing Grid’s words, Skunk’s heart sank . ‘He isn’t willing to forgive me . ’
Skunk once again redefined the Grid that he knew . Grid was the ambitious person who married a high-ranking noble of the Eternal Kingdom in the West Continent, building up enough personal and political power to swallow the kingdom as a whole . He had set up his follower, Damian, as the pope and then manipulated him . After obtaining many NPCs using his power as a king, Grid had been cold-blooded enough to use an NPC as a shield in the Great Demon Belial raid . He was also the opportunist who had used the death of an NPC as an excuse to wipe out Immortal . Additionally, he had been the first to try using ‘diplomacy’ with the empire, but he wasn’t satisfied with making Yura and Jishuka his women . It was hard to measure him .
Grid was vicious, sneaky, oppressive, and clever . From the beginning, it had been unreasonable to hope for mercy from such a fearsome man .
“I see . Is this your will?”
This was frustrating . It seemed impossible to be forgiven for the act of daring to break into Pagma’s Grave .
‘I don’t mind being punished . It is just that my colleagues are different . ’ Skunk glanced at his colleagues who had nervous expressions . ‘I won’t be able to forgive myself if they get injured because of my carelessness . ’
His colleagues had wasted a year, and now they had to lose their lives as well? He couldn’t allow it to happen . Skunk had been biting his lips anxiously, and now he raised his head .
Grid still wasn’t saying anything . It was an attitude that forced them to decide the punishment themselves . In the first place, Grid didn’t think much of the Skunk Expedition . They probably seemed like a group that was just playing around . It would be unproductive for Grid to directly choose the punishment for the Skunk Expedition Group .
