《MMORPG: Martial Gamer》Chapter 938. Knights of the Round Table, Esther and Arthur
Advertisement
In terms of outfit, the female Knight was also dressed differently from the rest. Compared to the heavy-armoured Knights dressed in only shades of white, this female Knight had a blue inner armour under her silver armour and a blue hair ribbon tied into a bow. Complemented with her delicate, angel-like face, she gave off a serious vibe with strands of cheekiness. On first look, anyone would find her amiable and friendly.
Even someone like Wang Yu, who was so resistant to women, could not help but look at her again.
It could be seen that the game designer put in a lot of effort in designing this character as she looked like she was in a bikini when actually, she was fully-covered in an armour. It was no wonder that a mere NPC could become an attraction and no surprise that there were people like Little Bookworm who were so infatuated.
Actually, this was what Wang Yu could not understand. An armour was also a type of uniform… As an author who is as pure as this main character, I completely do not know what I’m saying, I just heard these from others.
Alright, back to the topic.
As the patrolling team came closer, Wang Yu could feel the surge of agitated emotions from the bunch of perverts behind him, especially from Little Bookworm, his eyes had already become heart-shaped. These guys even started mumbling something about “At the edge of Your Majesty’s sword, in the direction of Your Majesty’s heart”, as though they were brainwashed.
“What rubbish is this…” Wang Yu looked at these guys speechlessly then threw a [Probing] skill over.
Since he was looking for some, he naturally had to do a carpet search, especially for the NPC who had the Soul of the Gods and had evolved, it most likely was a high-level NPC. Hence, this Great Leader seemed like a good fit and it was logical for Wang Yu to use a [Probing] skill on her.
However, after Wang Yu threw the [Probing] skill over, he was instantly stunned.

Damn, her name and attributes were all question marks. She had to be an NPC of level 100 or higher.
Just as Wang Yu was in shock, suddenly one of the perverts said puzzledly, “F*ck, why is her name also question marks. I thought I could add the Great Leader as a friend.”
In >, players could add some NPC as friends but this NPC’s AI had to be high enough and players had to know their names. Of course, the most important thing was that they had to be good enough terms.
Take Wang Yu for example, he was not only friends with Hermit, Simba and a few others. He was also the First Apostle, Erland’s friend. He did have quite a wide circle of friends.
“Hehe.” Just then, another pervert asked that pervert, “Do you want to know the Great Leader’s name?”
“Yes!” That pervert nodded.
“Ten gold coins and I’ll tell you!” The second pervert smiled widely and said.
Ten gold coins was not a small amount to these jobless perverts so upon hearing the second pervert’s words, everyone did not believe him, “Huh, why would I trust you. All our [Probing] skills are the same, why should we trust you?”
“Hmph! I have been selling names for a while, my reputation is your insurance!” The second pervert smiled and shared a screenshot of a skill.
[Insight] skill: A rare skill which can probe target’s attributes and ignores levels. Job requirements: None.
“Wow, how impressive.”
Seeing the screenshot of the skill, everyone finally believed him and looked at him with envy.
Logically speaking, an [Insight] skill was usually useless. Other than Wang Yu, no normal person dared to trifle with a dude with all question marks. It was unthinkable that such a useless skill could be a money-making tool. Indeed, there was no shortage of interesting people in the game.
“So? Are you guys buying? The Great Leader is about to leave.” Looking at everyone’s expressions, the second pervert tempted everyone again.

“Ten gold coins is too expensive. How about five?” Everyone did not want their money to be earned so easily so they began to bargain with him.
The second pervert was easy-going so he quickly said, “Alright, seeing how we hit off so well, five gold coins it is. When you guys mention this elsewhere, remember to say it cost you ten gold coins, alright?”
“Of course!”
Everyone paid up and the second pervert sent the name to them.
Soon, his eyes landed on Little Bookworm and Wang Yu. The second pervert smiled widely and said, “Fellows, do you want the name?”
“I don’t have money…” Little Bookworm showed his empty hands. This pauper’s only gold coin was extorted on the mountain by Mad Wolf Guild so he was completely broke now. Of course, he was not stupid and knew that Wang Yu had the money. After Wang Yu got the name, he would get it from him so why spend the money?
Indeed as Little Bookworm expected, Wang Yu took out ten gold coins and said, “Yes!”
“Brother Bull, it is just five gold coins!” Little Bookworm quietly reminded him.
Wang Yu smiled and told the second pervert, “For ten gold coins, screenshot the Great Leader’s attribute information for me.”
“Your request is quite special, is this a personal hobby? You’re indeed different from those superficial guys.” The second pervert paused before speaking as he thought Wang Yu was an experienced pervert.
“…”
Wang Yu was obviously upset at being treated as a pervert. With a straight face, he asked, “Enough, are you selling them to me?”
“Yes, I’m selling! If you pay more, I will sacrifice my life to find out the Great Leader’s measurement for you.”
That second pervert blabbered on as he received Wang Yu’s gold coins. At the same time, Wang Yu received the shared information.
Leader of the Knights of the Round Table, Esther and Arthur (LV100) (Obsidian BOSS) (Ancient)
HP:20000000
MP:20000000
Skills: Proficient Knight, Holy Web, God’s Protection, Light of Judgement
Talent: Round Table Conviction
Background introduction: As the only female amongst the twelve Knights of the Round Table, Esther was definitely the most legendary one. Initially, she was an unheard-of Knight of Templars but in three years, she continuously broke through and successfully overcame obstacles and the highest point of her job to become God’s most loyal Knight of the Round Table.
Esther strongly believed that everything was bestowed upon her by God and she was God’s chosen one.
“The Great Leader is actually Esther!!”
After seeing the Great Leader’s attributes’ information, Wang Yu let out a yell in surprise.
Wang Yu bought the information on her attributes was not because Wang Yu suspected that she was Esther. Instead, he bought it because he did not want to leave out anyone. After all, Wang Yu had so much money and that ten gold coins did not make a difference to him.
Who would have thought that someone with such a manly name, Esther, was such a beautiful lady.
The second pervert was upset upon hearing him, “Excuse me, brother, this is not right of you. Why did you yell? Don’t you know that this is a trade secret…”
“Evil ones in the dark, how dare you peep at me!”
The second pervert was rambling on when the patrolling team stopped and Esther, who was right in front, scolded loudly. She then pulled out the double-handed sword on her waist, waved it, and a ray of gold light flashed across. “Duang!”, in a slice, the second pervert was slashed into two halves.
Esther’s actions scared the rest of the peeping perverts such that they all retreated backwards to stick their backs to the wall.
Thereafter, in everyone’s sight, Esther seriously walked to Wang Yu, stared at him and said, “Was it you who was calling for me?”

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.

Bastard's Wrath
The Wyvern reared its humongous head, serpent neck coiling back, onyx scales of opulence shimmering in the dimness of the cloud smothered sky. It spoke, eye's ashen, like the surface of a star, "What is it you desire, boy?" The word's rolled from it's pointed maw, tongue flicking, it's deep and ferocious voice sending the ground below rumbling. Damien looked up, hair sodden with rain, his face battered beyond recognition, his lips curled into a snarl. He had gone past the point of being frightened; he was tired of his weakness. He spoke, voice wavering, mist floating from his mouth in the coldness: "I want them dead. I want everyone who stabbed me in the back; dead." The Wyvern smiled, rows of teeth exposed, "Then sacrifice it. Sacrifice your humanity." - The story of a bastard within a crippled family,who beyond all odds becomes known as the Greatest Swordsman to live: the one that, even the Gods, would someday fear.
