Game’s Dogma

Chapter 298: Sworn Brother's Longing

Sir Duen wasnt enraged by the player who doubted his decision. He was as calm as evernot a feigned calmness, but rather an innate quality. His voice and movements were simply soothing.

I suppose you have forgotten about what I have said before. We only choose successors based on their compatibility. Once we set our eyes on you, youll become a successor even if you lose your only fight.

If you really demand an explanation Gentleness melted away from Sir Duens eyes, replaced by a domineering glare. Because we do what we want. We can choose anyone as long as we want to. Do you understand?

The player on the receiving end of the glare staggered a dozen steps back, knocked over a table, and fell to the ground. He seemed oblivious to everything as his terrorised eyes were fixed on Sir Duen.

Sir Duens glare lasted only a brief moment. He said gently, Alright. Please head down the mountain then. The five chosen players can stay behind.

As if heeding his command, a gate of light appeared in the centre of the patio. It was a teleportation array that looked just like any other in the game.

Sir Duens firm stance left everyone with no room for debate. Although they were disappointed, the quest wasnt completely fruitless. Drinking the Divine Tea was already a great reward worthy of an encounter quest.

As players left through the teleportation array one after another, Drako Yau suddenly said, You guys should leave first. Dumbgirl, Greenstone, and I will stay behind.

Boss is gonna ditch us again. Idyllic Poet curled her lips.

Drako Yau found it difficult to go harsh on this demanding queen, so he explained, I have things to do here, so does Dumbgirl. Go level up first, you all should realise how many elites there are in this game, right? Dont be careless. Levels are also part of your strengths.

Zephyrwolf waved his arm and said, Alright, gotcha. Level up it is.

In no time, only seven players remained on the patio. Some players were confused to see Mask stay behind, but they still left in the end after remembering what Sir Duen said. There could only be five successors, and even he couldnt give Mask an inheritance through the backdoor. Well, it had more to do about the player who seemed utterly terrified after voicing his disagreement though.

What keeps you here? Sir Duen asked with a warm smile, yet his intention of dismissing Drako Yau was clear.

Drako Yau replied, Sir Duen, Sir Hui, big brother Kiu sends you his regards.

Ding!

Quest completed: Sworn Brothers Longing.

The system notification confirmed Drako Yaus speculation. It wasnt too difficult to guess, truth be told. A handsome man with a piercing way of the sword whose surname was Duenhe could only be the one and only Duen Yu, a master swordsman of the Dablit Guaifs Duen clan. The other man who wore elegant clothes despite his bald head was clearly the martial arts master who had once been a monk and ended up being forced into becoming palace master of the Spirit Vulture Palace, Hui Chuk.

Back when Dumbgirl received Kiu Fungs inheritance, she also received the quest, though it was left dangling because they never had the chance to encounter these two people. He naturally wasnt going to let the opportunity go to waste now that they were right before him.

Hearing the words big brother Kiu, Sir Duen and Sir Huior rather, Duen Yu and Hui Chukshowed elated looks. Youve met big brother Kiu?

Their IDs changed from Sir Duen and Sir Hui to Duen Yu and Hui Chuk at that moment.

Drako Yau clasped his hands and replied, Indeed we have. Dumbgirl is big brother Kius disciple.

Big brothers disciple? Duen Yu and Hui Chuk put on weird expressions as they stared at Dumbgirl.

Dumbgirl might not be the smartest girl out there, but even she felt uncomfortable when the two masters stared at her for so long. She ran and hid behind Drako Yau.

Duen Yu sighed and said, Looks like big brother also knows that a disaster will soon befall the world.

Amitabha, Hui Chuk murmured. Were doing the same, arent we?

The NPCs all turned silent, leaving the seven players baffled.

Alright, lets get back to what we have to do first. Tai On.

Tai On stood up upon being called. He walked towards Hades and patted his shoulder. Young man, youre not bad. Hey, dont look at me like this, Im way older than you Ugh Its not the time to lament now. Youre suitable for my inheritance, will you become my disciple?

Hades nodded. Yes, master.

Tai On chortled and said, Good, good! Sir Duen, Sir Hui, Ill leave first.

Duen Yu nodded at Tai On, who returned a salute before leaving with Hades. After Tai On left, a muscular man left his seat and went to Handsome Scholar. He wasnt as friendly as Tai On though.

Im your master from now on. Follow me!

Handsome Scholar smiled bitterly; it seemed his master was a grumpy one. Still, he followed the muscular man and left the patio, not before he sent Mask a glare of challenge.

Drako Yau, Greenstone, Fong Sai Yuk, Chan Ka Lok, and Dumbgirl were the only players left. As for the NPCs, only Duen Yu, Hui Chuk, and the two beauties remained.

Duen Yu smiled and pointed in a certain direction. Young un, Old Sir Cheungs house is over there. This is a fateful encounter, please cherish it.

Greenstone glanced at Drako Yau, who nodded at him, then strode towards Old Sir Cheungs residence with large steps.

Another person was gone.

Chan Ka Lok and Fong Sai Yuk exchanged glances. Although Fong Sai Yuk had a much calmer temperament now, he was still a young man after all. He pointed at himself and asked, Sir Duen, what about us?

Ohoho. Duen Yu laughed. The two of you shall be our disciples.

Duen Yu sized up Chan Ka Lok and appeared to be satisfied. You are a righteous one, and your comprehension of the sword isnt low as well. Youre well-suited for my clans style. Now, I shall grant you an opportunity.

A sword aura shot from Duen Yus index finger into Chan Ka Loks forehead between his brows. The next moment, Chan Ka Lok disappeared from the spot.

Hui Chuk also smiled gently and said, Young man, although youre not the best fighter, steady disposition and perseverance are what I see in you. I will now teach you Six Solar Palms of Mount Heaven. I hope you will use it for righteous deeds in the future.

Hui Chuk lightly thrust his palm out and sent a mini palm aura into Fong Sai Yuks forehead. Like Chan Ka Lok, Fong Sai Yuk vanished immediately afterwards.

Drako Yau was startled. Turns out these two are the ones who benefited the most.

He had no idea who Old Sir Cheung might be, but he knew a lot about Duen Yu and Hui Chuk. Six Meridians Divine Sword of the Dablit Guaifs Duen clan connected the mind, allowing the practitioner to attack with his fingers over long distances with powerful aura strikes. As for Divine Vulture Palaces Six Solar Palms of Mount Heaven, it was the pinnacle of Mount Heaven Sects palm techniques. Its palm strikes were bold and forthright while also bearing swiftness.

Drako Yau recalled Duen Yus words. Instead of the strongest player, he was looking for a suitable successor. Considering how righteous of a person Chan Ka Lok was and his decent swordsmanship, he was indeed compatible with Six Meridians Divine Sword. Fong Sai Yuk, on the other hand, was a good learner despite his young age. It was understandable for Hui Chuk to choose Fong Sai Yuk as his successor based on his character description in the novel Drako Yau had read.

Why not Yim Ho? Others might not know, but Drako Yau was certain that they saw Yim Hos Divine Dragon Jade and decided that he wasnt suitable for inheriting another style.
