The Ancients World

Chapter 25: The adventure to Vedersfall VII

As I ask Fenrir about Bellvia and any information on the dryads as well as other things. Meanwhile there are other things happening in Ancients World. More specifically in the auction house. The guild token has multi-billion dollar companies and guilds bidding sickening numbers for it. The current bid for the guild token is 112 million UWD's, and there is still 10 hours left for the bid to continue. As this is happening reporters across the globe are doing takes on the auction houses hottest item.

Violet Adamo is watching the T.V as she waits for her husband to come home. She has no idea that this is in fact the item that Cera said he was selling. "I cant believe an item that is in a video game can be worth so much, I hope that Cera's item gets attention...." Parents wouldn't understand what the gaming industry is. To them it is just a toy that they buy for there kids to get them off there backs. In reality, they miss out on one of the best experiences a person can have in video games.

I watch the screen change to a news anchor talking about the item. "This guild token is a priceless item to the DDVR's titan companies. The research conducted on this item shows that any guild can create there guild hall starting at a large size in any city as long as they reach the required player level for those cities." Cera didn't know the true value of the guild token, so the astronomical number is something that is minuscule to the guilds and companies bidding on it. They know that the turn over for such an item would be quadruple the price they are all willing to pay for it.

Soon Marcus comes downstairs and sits next to me. His attention is also drawn to the large number on the screen. "Mommy, how much is 130 million UWD's?" Marcus only knows about tens, hundreds, and thousands. He has no knowledge of what a million is.

I don't really know how to explain this to Marcus. "Well, sweetie. It's more money than anyone would need in there entire life." This is the best that I can do to explain it to Marcus. Once he is older he can start worrying about money. I wonder how Cera is doing, he is surely putting a lot of time into this game. It has bared fruit that I had no idea was possible. I can only pray that everything goes alright, Christian and I never talk about money in front of the family. They don't know how desperate we are and how much we are indebt.

As Violet continues to watch the news, Christian is at the factory getting ready to head home. Everyone is watching the T.V. and this draws his attention. After I got dressed I walk over to the group of men and see the station that they are watching. "Can you believe that its going for 175 million now. I am getting sick from watching that counter go up." As I hear that number I feel a little nauseous too. Someone has to be insane if they are paying....190 million UWD's!! I just watch the bid climb by the millions with the rest of the group.

One of the guys I work with on the conveyer belt is talking about his son who plays the game. "My kids just texted me and told me why the price is so high. Apparently this will make a large guild hall instantly for no cost of in game currency what so ever." I think I should do more research on this game when I get back, asking Cera would be a smart idea. I take another look at the screen before I head home. FUCK!!! Who is the lucky son of a bitch that gets all this money.

Back in Ancients World Cera and Fenrir have really gotten to know each other well. Cera told him about the new people or players and how he is one of them. I can really trust Fenrir because nobody can force him to reveal anything about me. As I look ahead of us I can see the wilds ending and rolling hills that are flat and fields full of crops are appearing. This means that we are almost at the border and this is my stop. "You can stop up ahead in the fields. The border is only a couple of miles from here." The sun is now fully set and it is dark out, the moon and stars are illuminating the ground so we can see.

Fenrir lands gracefully and bends down so I can hop off. "Thank you so much, I would have been traveling through the wilds for longer than I intended to." He stands tall and looks over to the mountain range where I believe the Salamander kingdom resides on the other side. "Planning another trip?" He looks back at me with a slight grin.

He raises his head and sniffs the air. "I want to see how much the world has changed since I left, I plan on checking on the fairies new kingdom first though." I totally understand that, he did his best to protect them, in a way he both succeeded and failed. He must want to right some wrongs, I receive a system notification as Fenrir is about to speak to me.

[Fenrir wants to give you a reward for freeing the Holy Willow Tree and him]

[Do you wish to accept the reward? Y/N]

As I read this Fenrir uses some sort of magic and a old Viking horn falls into my hands. "I want you to have this Zern. When you blow into the horn I will come to your aid no matter where you are. I hope you accept my gift." I smile at the nice gesture he is giving me. I won't need to use it, but it would be nice to have incase of an emergency.

I make up my mind and I open my mouth to give my answer as I think yes to accept the reward. "I'll be sure to treasure it Fenrir, you have been a real friend today and if you ever need my help don't be a stranger." When I finish saying that he laughs, I soon start to laugh as well at the implications of that. I am way to weak to help Fenrir with anything, but its the thought that counts. He says goodbye for now and takes of towards the mountains. I then inspect the horn he gave me and I am at a loss for words.

[Fenrir's Whistle]

[Description: This horn is used to call the mighty Fenrir himself in aid of the caller. This horn was crafted by Wayland the smith. This item is one of a kind.]

[Quality: Divine]

[Durability: Infinite]

[Special Requirements: You can only use this horn if you are a friend of Fenrir.]

[Cooldown: 30 days]

[Once bound it cannot be stolen, be dropped on death, or sold]

[Do you wish to bind this item to you? Y/N]

I think yes and I feel a strange tingle in the back of my head. I put the horn into my inventory and I receive another system notification.

[You are the first person to find and bind a divine item.]

[Do you wish to accept the reward? Y/N]

So it is like the same time I got a legendary item, I think yes and I get a new perk.

[Destined for greatness - Passive]

[Description: You are following a path none have lead before. +500 to all stats]

I then receive another system notification and this time its asking me if I want the world to know this happened.

[Do you wish for the people of Ancients World to know what you have accomplished? Y/N]

I instantly think no, there is no reason to draw more attention. I cant believe this is actually happening, I wonder if Blue Chaos ever got this to happen before. I pull up my player stats to view my information.

I am certain that whatever challenges I meet in the country of Vedersfall I'll be ready for them. I wish you well on your journey Fenrir, and thank you for this wonderful gift. I walk for a few miles until I reach the border. I wait in line for my turn and I am soon let through, the area after the checkpoint has some buildings that look recently built. They all say Inn on them, none have a unique name so that means they were provided by the government. I enter one and pay for a room, I make it to my plain room and lay on the bed. I log off and my consciousness leaves my body as I return to my world as my avatar rest in the bed.

Once out of my gaming pod I am in a dark room only lit up by the glow of my gaming pod. I crash onto the bed and go to sleep. I am very tired so I think I'll just sleep in tomorrow.
