Chapter 1577: 530. Swamp Power·Avalon’s Grace
From Lady Shui’s words, it’s not hard to tell—though Adel felt she kept her thoughts well-hidden, it wasn’t just Doris and Hog who saw through her. So sharp-eyed Sly Ghosts among the players already spotted the “clues.”
After all, the look of loving soone and the look of wanting to stab soone are equally hard to hide.
Thus, on the way to Wolf Castle, “Lady Adel and Sir Murphy’s relationship troubles” beca the hot topic of the girls’ lively discussions.
The young students were restless.
Though they admired Sir Murphy, they quickly joined the chatter. Like single folks who love offering relationship advice, these guys started brainstorming ways to play Cupid for Lady Adel and Sir Murphy.
After all, in their simple value system, an epic NPC like Sir Murphy having one or two confidants is only natural. Isn’t that the proper treatnt for storyline NPCs?
After all, the saying “beauties are reserved for the strong” holds true on this continent too.
However, older players weren’t keen on such gossip—like Brother Huozi and Yuan Mou. These two newcors had just joined the Avalon Church, and compared to gossip about NPC relationships, their focus was clearly leveling up and growing stronger.
It’s not that they were overly pragmatic, nor were they hardcore strength enthusiasts.
It’s just that both Brother Huozi and Brother Yuan ca into the ga “with missions”—later, they’d need to traverse the land with their wives. The fragile ego of middle-aged n couldn’t let them keep relying on the ladies for protection.
“White Knight, right? Choosing the path of the White Knight seems more suitable for us brothers.”
Brother Huozi, riding on his Wind Eagle with a player-created “Avalon Church Power System Chart” in hand, studied it for a while before saying to Yuan Mou, who was flying at the sa speed beside him:
“My wife is a Priest, your wife is a Shield Holder. For the two of us to beco White Knights complents their battle roles perfectly.”
“No, no, Brother Huo, you’re oversimplifying it.”
Brother Yuan had a different take. He glanced at the chattering ladies and shook his head, saying:
“We need to think about the team—as the only two male reserve players in the Pride of the Silvermoon team, we shoulder the hope of filling in the team’s shortcomings and becoming part of their dynamic.
My idea is that I’d go down the Hunter path as a reconnaissance scout, while you’d beco a versatile defender and healer.”
Lowering his voice, he continued:
“The ladies are formidable, and as of now, we’re undeniably deadweight. If we want to stay in their team long-term without becoming burdens to the ones we cherish, we need to prove our utility in ti.
Being the weak link will earn resentnt—you don’t want to end up forced to ‘split up’ with your wife in the ga due to poor combat performance, do you?”
“Hmm, you’ve got a point.”
Brother Huozi, being easygoing and receptive, quickly changed his decision and said:
“Alright, you’ll be a reconnaissance scout under the Witch Hunter class, and I’ll go for Druid then?”
“Yep, that fits perfectly.”
Brother Yuan nodded and said:
“Conveniently, there’s a Natural Holy Land linked to the Avalon Church near Wolf Castle; we can complete our class switches there. We’ll almost imdiately enhance the Silver Moon Pride Team, and this way, the other ladies won’t gossip about our presence.
By the way, I saw you dining rather well with that ‘bigshot’ player at Crimson Castle earlier—what was that about?”
“Ah, he claid it was ‘formal networking,’ but it was really about cooperation,”
Brother Huozi chuckled and said:
“His four ladies helped him set up a shop at Treasure Bay. Now, the ‘Four Blossoms’ have officially joined Silver Moon Group as combat players to start enjoying the ga’s life, and the ladies also aim to establish careers within the ga with real-life benefits, so Old Huo hoped I could give them so life advice.
The young guy is quite interesting.
I initially thought he wanted to discuss collaboration between my foundation and his real-life ventures, but he didn’t ntion that at all.
Truly an ambitious fellow.
This ga is fantastic!
Its player selection chanism is incredibly stringent, creating an unusually positive playing environnt, which evidently avoids many unnecessary nuisances. I used to play Legends back in the day, and getting maliciously PK’d every day felt awful.
I dumped money into dominating the servers, then got bored and abandoned the ga within days.”
“I agree.”
Brother Yuan echoed:
“Before entering the ga, I was concerned. With such a realistic ga design and no compulsory rules, players have almost complete freedom here—I couldn’t imagine what sort of bizarre chaos might erge.
But after joining, I realized the developnt team adopted a managent strategy similar to certain hardcore gas. They intentionally set thresholds for players, and by fostering a ‘small circle’ community culture, they’re running the ga’s societal environnt remarkably well. Random players you et on the streets are either highly capable or show imnse potential.
This instantly elevates the experience.
Even stripping away the fun filter of the ga itself, the already-ford community environnt can be seen as a highly inclusive ‘think tank.’ This feels like pioneering—it’s more like a grand-scale social experint…”
“You’re overthinking it.”
Brother Huozi looked around cautiously and softly reminded:
