Chapter 148: Mutual Deception Has Begun
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Li Yi held the magic weapon tightly in his hand, and the black shield stood close in front of him.
Ever since his rebirth, no matter what kind of person he faced, he never had to be this cautious.
Logically speaking, this man in front of him should not have appeared. Now was the time to prepare for battle, and as the Guild Leader, it was really unreasonable for him to appear here.
Moreover, he seemed to have already predicted that Li Yi and the others would appear here as well.
That was also the scariest part.
Li Yi’s appearance here could be considered a spur of the moment idea. How did he predict it? This man had always been so mysterious and unfathomable. With that one inconspicuous smile, it made Li Yi feel that he had other intentions.
“Shouldn’t you be preparing for battle? It’s irresponsible for you to appear here.”
“It’s useless to rush into battle preparation at the last minute. Since the battle is going to start tomorrow, why shouldn’t I relax for a day and have peak condition tomorrow?”
“You’re indeed different from the rest.”
Li Yi and Misty World chatted casually with each other.
They spoke like old friends, but no one around them dared to make a sound. Everyone watched the two of them, and they were also wary of the people around them.
As long as they waited for someone to make the first move, everyone would act together.
“What a coincidence. In the whole of Emperor City, there are more than ten districts of all sizes, yet the two of us coincidentally met here. I don’t believe that it wasn’t intentional. Don’t you think so?”
Li Yi’s seemingly unintended joke was overheard by Dream Seeker.
“I don’t know him.”
Li Yi glanced at Dream Seeker’s eyes, which showed the truth.
“I believe you.”
“Carefree Dream really has a trusting personality. How long have you known him? You sure you want to believe him?”
The corners of Li Yi’s mouth rose.
“I didn’t believe him at first, but after hearing what you said, I believe him.”
Misty World frowned as if he understood Li Yi’s intentions.
“Great trick, Carefree Dream.”
“You flatter me.”
Clutch King was in a daze as he listened to these two people in the distance.
“I don’t understand a single word these two are saying.”
“With your IQ, you could only outwit Dream Seeker. The world is really big and full of surprises, keep up.”
Winnie felt a little ashamed when she saw Snow Chaser ridiculing Clutch King as she stood on their side.
“Actually, I don’t understand either.”
“…”
Not too far away, Misty Moon walked over and ridiculed disdainfully, “Huh, you really are just thick and brainless.”
Hearing this, Winnie grew anxious.
“Who are you talking about? Aren’t you the same as well?”
Clutch King, who watched from the side, drooled at the sight of the two women staring at each other with their eyes fixed on each other.
On the side, Snow Chaser pulled Winnie’s weapon back and flashed it in front of her. The atmosphere tensed for a moment.
Only Clutch King looked as if he was ready to witness another fun fight.
Misty Moon snorted coldly and stood to the side, even putting away her weapon. It looked like she had no intention of stirring up trouble again.
Snow Chaser had grown a lot from the past. She was a delicate person who had grown up with Li Yi, and now she could see the situation clearly on her own. This was also a characteristic of her class fortunately.
Everyone thought Healing Mages were just hiding at the back to heal the front row players, but in fact, that was not the only thing they did.
The most unique characteristic of Healing Mages was that they could assist their teammates according to the changes in the battle situation.
An excellent Healing Mage had a certain ability to analyze things. Only a person who could help the main force in the right circumstances could be considered a true Healing Mage.
Now, Snow Chaser could already be considered a competent Mage. Not only could she help in dealing damage, but she could also analyze the situation and make the right choice.
Snow Chaser’s Healing Mage title could now be considered one of the top-ranked existences in Divine Revelation.
Snow Chaser glanced at Clutch King and Winnie next to her, who looked eager for the truth, then shook her head as she analyzed the current situation.
“Carefree Dream’s whereabouts are usually not exposed, but if Misty World can predict that Carefree Dream will appear here and arrange for Misty Moon to appear in advance, then that means that they have players following Carefree Dream around.”
Winnie came to a sudden realization. “This has never happened between me, you, Clutch King, and Carefree Dream, but it happened after Dream Seeker came, so he could suspect that Dream Seeker is a spy, right?”
Snow Chaser nodded but then shook her head. Clutch King, who listened on the side, was even more confused. “What do you mean by that?”
Snow Chaser continued, “When I first heard Carefree Dream’s words, it seemed to be pointed towards Dream Seeker. Dream Seeker had also realized it, so he was in a hurry to clarify himself. The strange thing was that Dream Seeker only denied it once and Carefree Dream immediately believed him.”
Winnie could not figure out the problem here at all. “Is there a problem with that?”
Snow Chaser continued, “There’s no problem. The only problem is that Misty World tried to add fuel to the fire.”
“What fire?” Clutch King and Winnie were both puzzled, while Misty Moon slowly had a different opinion of Snow Chaser. She had always thought this woman was a stupid and ignorant person, but now it seemed that Snow Chaser’s thoughts were very far-sighted.
“If Dream Seeker really was a spy, Misty World wouldn’t have questioned Carefree Dream’s trust in him, but it turned out that Misty World even reminded Carefree Dream that he and Dream Seeker had only known each other for a short time.”
“Wouldn’t that mean Dream Seeker works for Misty World? Doesn’t that mean that they could have known each other?”
Snow Chaser looked at Clutch King and was very gratified to find that he finally started to turn his gears.
“Not wrong, but let me ask you this. You’re a smart person, and your spy has gained the trust of your enemy. Why would you want to remind him and let him know that you know about the situation between them?”
“I…”
Clutch King could not answer.
“I’m just assuming that it’s possible that Misty World knows about this situation not because of Dream Seeker, but because of Carefree Dream.”
Clutch King and Winnie were dumbfounded once again.
“Dream Seeker is a cautious person. He always wears a Nameless Cloak wherever he goes, and it’s impossible to follow him once you lose track of him.
“But Carefree Dream isn’t. He’s very easy to track. He’s a Heavy Armored Dragon Knight, and as long as there’s an NPC who knows about this title, they’ll definitely know its him.”
Winnie was extremely excited as she grabbed Snow Chasers’s hand. She finally understood everything, but Clutch King still looked confused.
“So, as long as you follow Carefree Dream, knowing that he just gained a new member of the squad. You’ll want to set a trap not long after they got to know each other so that they’ll be suspicious of each other and fall apart internally?”
“That’s right.” Snow Chaser nodded and let go of Winnie’s tight grip on her arm. “But Carefree Dream has already seen through all of this.”
Clutch King saw that Misty Moon, who was not too far away, now regarded Snow Chaser as a formidable enemy.
Moreover, the main characters of this big drama, Li Yi and Misty World, looked at each other with their eyes locked, each with their own ulterior motives kept in their hearts. No one knew what the other party would say next, what their next action would be, or what their next gazes meant.
Li Yi sweated profusely.. This was even more difficult than challenging a boss across many levels.
