Chapter 248

The news about Ibro obtaining the flying squad must have reached their ears. They nodded in agreement, but the swordsman then asked again:

"What is this divine sense mean?"

Erond took the responsibility to explain:

"Divine sense is a unique way for us cultivators. We can use it to scan a wide range around us. We can use it to contact with each other. We also can use it in battles."

The swordsman nodded his head again before saying:

"That looks tempting indeed. Then how can we become cultivators?"

Ibro just glanced to Erond who replied again:

"You can come with me to the village. There, you can enter cultivation building and gain a cultivation way and techniques."

The swordsman looked towards the other 8 players who nodded in agreement. They had no other choice now. They knew from the game that their lives were in the hands of Ibro now. They had to follow his orders or else they would pay the highest price.

As Ibro said, this might be a curse or a blessing. They glanced secretly towards their previous leader… that girl. She was still shaking and crying. They knew her well enough to understand her current reaction. The swordsman was afraid of her.

He was afraid Ibro got angry with her childish reaction and dispose of her. He wasn't alone thinking like that, the rest of the 8 players were like him.

Although this girl was unbearable most of the time, her family had helped their families a lot. They also knew that their families were still in the hands of this girl family. If they mistreated her, who knew what would happen to their families in the real world.

"May I say something?"

Erond replied before Ibro as he advised:

"You should address our king well."

The swordsman knew he was now dealing with different men in different situation so he modified his words as he said again:

"May I say something, my king?"

Ibro didn't mind the way Erond treated those new players. He knew how messy the life of players was. That was one of the strongest virtues of the cultivation world. He nodded as a sign of his agreement before the swordsman continued:

"I know that you, my king, don't know a lot about our real world. In our real world, the miss is a daughter of a very wealthy strong family. She never felt the need to do something for herself, neither for others.

I know that she is supposed to be under your service now, my king. But, may I ask for permission for her to take some time to adapt before joining our team again?"

Ibro knew that this swordsman was trying to help that girl. He was afraid of Ibro. Ibro wasn't really concerned about her. He had already guessed her true identity. He just waved his hand as he ordered:

"You can take her back to the village and leave her there. I will give her a week to adapt. After that, I expect a lot from her. You should try to help her through this or else I won't let her join your team."

The swordsman's face became more bright as he felt relieved. He said at once in gratitude:

"Thanks for your agreement and patience, my king."

Ibro remembered he knew nothing about the real world of these players, nor the current situation of the players in the game, so he ordered:

"Erond, you go and check first the condition of the invading army. You, what is your name? I need you to tell me everything about your real world and the current situation in the game."

Erond just nodded before leaving with his boys. the swordsman said:

"My name is Forad. We can know the latest update from the forum instead."

Ibro smiled as he said:

"I prefer to see it with my own eyes. That army is sneaky. I'm sure that overlord is trying to attack me with another army."

Forad looked strangely towards Ibro while asking in surprise:

"How did you know that?... I mean, my king."

"That was easy to guess. I'm, after all, a player too. I know the mind of those arrogant NPCs. Anyway, start telling me all the details I need."

Forad didn't dare to delay as he explained:

"The real world is a technology-based world. there, we have advanced technology than in the game. our countries there had made a federation a long time ago. It's so normal to see flying cars in the streets. I don't know if you know cars or not, but they are like modern carriages."

"I know what cars mean. So, you are from a country that belonged to this federation. What about this miss here? Why is she special?"

Forad looked at the ashen white face of this girl as he said:

"She is Sara. She is the daughter of the vice president of this federation supreme council. Her family is very important and strong in our world."

Ibro understood how important this weak girl was. He smiled evilly, he had obtained a golden fish with mere luck. He looked at Forad to continue his explanation.

"We entered this game a couple of months ago. Actually, this game started with few players and its fame isn't that widespread in our world.

The strange thing was the determination of all old families to push all their children and families to play this game. that caused a stir in our world and many theories started to spread attracting more players."

Ibro interrupted his words as he asked:

"How many players do you have here in comparison to your world?"

Forad looked silently towards Ibro for a few moments before answering:

"We have less than 10% of the total population of our world here in this game."

Ibro recalled the same situation he faced before at Rioneed game. it seemed that the human nature was the same in all the universe. Ibro then asked:

"What about your guilds?"

"We have many famous guilds that were formed either from the big families or from game lovers in our world. Miss Sara and all of us belonged to a guild built by her family. It's called 'Dark Sun Guild'. It's quite successful in this game, but it's not at the top 10 guilds here."
