BXBX NOVEL Chapter 217 Meeting High Level Players
-----
According to the guider spirit, there was a bunch of people moving here right now, and they were coming directly to the Fairy Country! They were all Players to boot. Can Players infiltrate this place? I am pretty sure it is well hidden, and the magic barrier the Fairy Queen set up is still active.
Unless… they force their way maliciously and break the barrier and then assault all the NPC!
Ah… but don\'t Players get punished if they hurt NPC? Right… I don\'t think they can go so far I suppose. Players are restricted and cannot directly hurt NPC by any means. If they ever hurt or kill an NPC, they might get banned for several days or even permanently. Well, based in what I\'ve investigated.
"Are they high level!?" I asked.
"Yeah, they\'re all super high level! All of them are at least above Level 150!" Said the Guider.
"Whaaaat?!" I cried in shock.
With Achlys and Titan drunk right now, I really couldn\'t count on them right now for what I wanted to do. Acorn was sleeping over his chair too, so I don\'t think I can bring him either! Will I have to go alone?
"What\'s wrong?" Titania wondered. "I feel some uneasiness within your gaze, Planta."
"Well, I have a special Spirit named "Guider", he\'s able to see through many things, and he just told me four Players of Level 150 and above are coming here…" I said.
"Eh?! At this hour of the night?! A-And how do they know of my secret country? Will they try to infiltrate? W-We need to prepare!" Titania hurriedly decided to act, bringing out almost eighty soldiers that hurriedly wore their armor once more and quickly flew into the gates of the country, accompanied by me and my summons, tamed monsters, and Nieve, the only one that wasn\'t drunk right now.
When we reached the closed gates, I used the Map Function and quickly saw four green dots outside the gates, the people was right there! Should we open the gates for them?
"I don\'t know if I could open the gates, it is too much… I don\'t know what sort of intentions they might have…" Titania said.
The other fairies seemed to agree with her. Although Players were punished by physical hurting NPC, they were not punished if they did something like stealing from them or even destroying their territories, apparently.
I have read in the forums of evil guilds of Players that enjoyed torturing the lives of NPC by stealing from their villages. Of course, they couldn\'t touch them, but they used wild monsters they lured into the villages to kill NPC, or sometimes even paid NPC brigands or bandits to kill NPC as well. There are a ton of loopholes in this system!
They might not be able to directly kill these fairies, but they could easily bring NPC allies to kill them instead… Uh, maybe I am thinking too far into the future, or thinking in the worst possible outcome. There might be a possibility they\'re nice people.
But why are they her specifically, and at such a high level to boot?!
Wait… could it be because of me?
They\'re looking for me… Ah, right, I just dealt damage to the World Boss again, makes sense, I guess. I suppose this is my responsibility, I should go outside by myself and confront them. My PvP mode is deactivated so they cannot do much to me other than insult me or something.
If it goes too far, I can report them using the Guider\'s help. Or maybe I could even force my Title that gives Quests to give them some quest to force them to go away, although that\'s more of a hopeful idea than an actual thing I think I can do.
"I\'ll go. Stay here for now." I said.
I quickly used [Spirit Leap] and jumped out into the air while mounting Belle, quickly reaching the other side by crossing the enormous walls. Titania easily let me trespass the magic barrier she had set up.
When I finally reached the other side, I dropped right in front of the waterfall that was protecting the castle, I quickly noticed a group of four very different looking players. I think this is the first time I see new players since Titan.
Quite honestly, I couldn\'t care less about other players for the most part aside from my daughter\'s avatar, as I am more interested in the world the NPC had built.
But well… if it means I have to protect them, I guess I\'ll need to interact with these Players.
I really hope they\'re not jackasses…
As I descended and reached the ground, the four of them immediately stopped discussing what they were talking about, immediately dropping in silence as they saw my presence.
I guess I looked a bit ridiculous while mounting a big goat…
"H-Hello?" I asked.
In between the darkness, I was able to see the four figures more clearly. There was a very old grandpa named Gandalf, with a long gray bear and gray magician robes, a cute little cat girl with pink hair named Anikitty wearing a kimono, a creepy-looking Ghoul wearing black robes named Erdrich, and lastly a beautiful blonde lady with a tall body wearing white and golden armor, with beautiful golden eyes who had feathered wings behind her back, an Angel named Angelina.
They all looked honestly pretty strong! But I was too nervous to say anything more so I stood there observing them for a good thirty seconds, which was what they took on answering me, because somehow, they were startled by my presence coming out of nowhere.
"Y-You\'re Planta, right?" Asked the old grandpa.
"Yes…?" I asked. "Do you have anything to do with me or the Fairy Country? I won\'t let you hurt them!"
"A-Ah! Wait a second, we didn\'t come here to fight!" the cat girl tried to stop me.
"We are sorry if we gave out that impression." Said the ghoul.
"It is nice to meet you, Planta. You\'re a fairly popular player out there." Said Angelina
"I am…?"
