The Geared Immortal

Chapter 354 - Merging Of Worlds 19

The competition Part 5

/*unedited*/

The three guards stood in the middle while looking at the Crimson Crown Guild 12th team. When the guards step forward, the Team Duel was immediately stopped.

The onlookers looking at this scene thought that they would arrest Shin Jiao at this moment, so everyone had a smirk on their faces and some even shouted.

"Arrest that guy!"

"Get him! Those thieves should not stay in this town."

"Kick him out! Kick him out!"

A guard lifted his sword and said.

"An accusation of stealing against a player is a crime punishable by either imprisonment for 5 days or more with a bail amounting to 1,000 gold or more. As guards, we will hold justice in front of all the witnesses at this time. 'Shin' please present your hand before me." said the guard in the middle as he extended one of his hand to Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao knew what the guard would do. To ensure fairness in the game, those who are accused of stealing will be scanned for their activities in the duration of their login time for the day. So he didn't hesitate to give his hand as he didn't have anything to hide.

When the guard held Shin Jiao's hand above his head a circular sphere appears just like a floating mirror. Then suddenly the activity of Shin Jiao was played in a fast forward manner.

The players in the town experience this event for the first time. This is because so far, the guards would just always capture those players with red aura and now probe them. And this is the first incident where someone is accused of stealing and his aura is not red.

So everyone has their attention at the mirror-like object which shows a third-person view of Shin Jiao. Suddenly gasp of amazement can be heard as everyone saw a single person fighting against the large beast which only parties would dare hunt.

The agile movement of the guy made them dumbfounded.

"That is impossible, right?"

"How can a single person hunt those Rhinos like beasts? Our team was wiped out last time we dare to hunt those things."

"Damn, that's amazing, it's like I'm watching a movie. If there is audio I think that scene would be perfect for a movie."

Many recorded what they are seeing so that they can brag about it later.

As the onlookers discussed Lance Brad's expression slowly changes, even his other party members also had a look of surprise on their faces.

Then they saw the scene where he hunted the Manticore. And the fight between them made everyone felt anxious then when the beast was defeated they were ecstatic.

"Is he really a newbie?" muttered RedBlade as he turns his gaze towards Shin Jiao.

Then the scene where a group of men suddenly enters the area while waving their weapons and showing a threatening look on their faces.

When the people saw those people, everyone immediately recognizes those emblems on their armor.

"Those are the Man Hunter Guild, is… is he really a member of the Man Hunter Guild?"

However, what happened next made everyone dumbfounded.

Shin Jiao fought the PvP Guild while disarming his enemies and killing them one by one. Then he took the weapons and put them on his back.

The domineering look on a man traveling with many weapons on his body made everyone look at Shin Jiao incredulously.

Then he enters the town, some even realize who the man is as they encountered him on the gate.

The guard stops his probing and stood straight.

"The accused is not guilty of any accusation from the accuser. You have just wasted our time and effort. We will detain you for 24 hours due to your random accusation of an innocent person." The soldier said towards Lance Brad who suddenly had his jaw drop to the ground.

Shin Jiao could not help but cough as he tried to stop himself from laughing at the reversal of the situation.

"Will that be all?" Shin Jiao asked the guard.

"Yes, you may go your way." The guard said with a wave of his hand.

The two guards walk towards the still dumbfounded Lance. But when the two grabs both his hands he was jolted from his stupor.

"Wait! Wait! This is not fair… No, I mean… Come on, it's just a joke. Please!... Hey you! You there… please tell them to not arrest me… it was all a misunderstanding." Lance shouted as he panics while trying to free himself from the grip of the guards.

However, as the NPC responsible for keeping the peace, the guards in the town are stronger than normal players. So no matter how hard he struggles, it was all in vain.

When Shin Jiao turns around, a sweet voice suddenly calls him out.

"Please… Please wait…" 'May' or Mai Madison hurriedly chases after Shin Jiao.

"I'm… I'm sorry for the misunderstanding between us. I… I thought you really stole my sister's sword. I never thought that you got it from those… people. But…in truth, that is really my sister's sword. If you look at the butt of the sword there is an initial 'MFM', which is my name in-game 'May' and my sister's name 'France Marie'…" she said with a little gentleness and pleading in her eyes.

One of Shin Jiao's weaknesses is a woman's tears, so he sighs helplessly and looks at the sword's butt. And true to her words, a very small crudely carved initial 'MFM' is on the sword's butt.

Seeing that she was telling the truth, Shin Jiao didn't hesitate for a second and slowly removes the sword on his waist.

He stretches both his hands, the other hand with two swords in an act of handing it to the woman, while his other hand is open wide asking for an exchange.

"Umm… What do you want? Money or an item?" she asked with a bit of hesitation in her tone.

"You can give me any weapon in exchange with these two swords."

A happy expression on her face immediately bloomed. Shin Jiao was a bit taken aback at the angelic face of the woman. Although he was not smitten, Shin Jiao appreciate the woman's beauty that's just like an angel.

Comparing to the haughty expressions of most women in his country, this western Caucasian woman's gentle and amiable smile is infectious which also made him smile a bit.

'May' or Mia Madison took out two silver swords and three black metallic-looking daggers from her inventory and showed it to Shin Jiao.

Upon seeing the weapons, Shin Jiao handed her the two swords and grab two metallic daggers from her stash.

"This would do." He said with a smile.

"Are… are you sure? Those… those are low-level daggers that have not been identified yet."

"Nah, I'm okay with these." Shin Jiao said.

"Thank you then."

"You're welcome."

The two parted ways as Mia Madison quickly walks towards her teammates who have already gone to the prison as they would pay Lance Brad's bail.

She suddenly stopped and looked back at Shin Jiao's figure and smiled.

"He's… cute.�� She muttered while turning around and walks away.

Shin Jiao, on the other hand, entered the guild and registered his name. He wanted to take more missions to increase his level to 30 so that he can use the teleportation portal to another server.

As this game world's server characters are transferable, there are many restrictions that are implemented. Some just needed one to teleport, while others need to travel via airship or worst by land. But these restrictions are handled perfectly that it looks like a player is just traveling from one kingdom to another.

But of course, if a player is involved in a war between kingdoms or 'servers' then traveling would be a major problem.

Anyway, Shin Jiao decided to take another mission on the notice board which can give him many experience points.

As he was about to take the mission another hand extended forth.

Shin Jiao held a soft and small hand which startled him a bit.

Then he saw a small and petite woman suddenly retracting her hand shyly.

"Sorry about that." Shin Jiao said.

"You… You're also… go… going to… take… this mission?" she said in a shy voice.

Shin Jiao nodded.

"Umm… Can we… can we form a party? I… I also needed this… Please." She said in a low tone.

Shin Jiao's weakness when it comes to weak women was triggered as he sighs.

"Alright…"

"Thank you…" she said with a sweet innocent voice.

The two formed a party with Shin Jiao as the leader. After that, they went out of the guild and directly down the path towards the western mountain. The quest is to hunt fire lizards for their lizard core. The reward for this quest is around 100,000 experience points and 20 low grade revitalizing potion which can recover both HP and Mana.

The two walked silently and Shin Jiao discovers that the woman's name is Spinks, and from her clothing, she seems to be a mage of a sort.

As they travel down the road, they encountered several monsters that were disposed of by the two easily. Everything went smoothly and their journey was spent in silence. Since the woman did not talk, Shin Jiao didn't either.

Before long they reached the summit and the two noticed that there is something wrong in the area. Using his spiritual sense, Shin Jiao saw a young woman on the ground crying.

But this scenery in his spiritual sense made Shin Jiao's expression turned dark.
