Chapter 259: Chapter259-Sword God
"Whoa, Master, you’re way too good to me. I’m clearly a mage, yet you actually gave me such a good sword.
"Although I can’t use it, I should be able to exchange it for a huge amount of gold coins. I wonder how much the blacksmiths in Novice Village would pay for it?"
Skittershade looked at his foolish disciple and could not help the corner of his mouth from twitching.
Was there something wrong with this person’s brain?
"It seems I need to get this silly disciple out of here as soon as possible. Otherwise, if her intelligence infects me too, I’ll be finished."
After silently complaining in his heart, Skittershade forced out a smile and asked,
"Disciple, how did the task I arranged for you today go?"
Holly was currently examining the longsword in her hands, looking extremely fond of it.
Hearing her master’s question, she casually gave a perfunctory answer.
"It’s basically done. The only thing left was the final boss of the quest, but he was too weak. I killed him in seconds with just a few casual attacks."
As she spoke, she could not help complaining,
"Master, I’m already this strong now. Can’t you arrange some stronger opponents for me?"
Hearing this, the corner of Skittershade’s mouth twitched again.
"With the way you are, you’d be better off training more. If I really arranged a stronger opponent for you, you’d be finished."
That being said, this disciple of his did indeed have an incredible talent. She could infinitely upgrade the level of one skill.
By his current estimate, her Basic Sword Draw had probably already been tempered to over Level 900, right?
With that kind of damage, instantly killing a quest boss should indeed be effortless.
With this thought, Skittershade asked,
"In that case, how about I arrange a mission for you outside Novice Village?"
Hearing this, Holly immediately shook her head.
"No, no! I don’t want to go out!"
Seeing her refuse like this, Skittershade frowned.
"Why? I remember you clearly always wanted to go out before, didn’t you?"
"Now, you’ve already tempered your swordsmanship to the extreme. Even many Level 200 players, and even some demigod-grade players, may not be your match.
"If you keep tempering it, you’re going to become a Sword God."
Hearing this, Holly’s face turned red. She lowered her head and said,
"Not really... but I have social anxiety."
Hearing this, Skittershade was completely speechless.
Was this woman planning to hide in Novice Village for the rest of her life?
That would not do.
This girl had such a good talent and bug-level luck.
As long as she could go out and develop, she would absolutely deserve to be called a protagonist player of the current universe.
"Sigh!"
Skittershade let out a long sigh. Then he directly took out a small Holy Grail and a scroll.
The small Holy Grail was half black and half white.
On the black side, a moon and stars were drawn.
On the white side, a golden-red sun was carved.
"Fine, fine. This is a small Holy Grail and a teleportation scroll that your master has treasured for a long time. I’ll give them both to you."
A trace of reluctance and heartache appeared in Skittershade’s eyes.
He reminded her,
"These two things were both obtained by your master at a considerable price back then. You must not sell them to anyone."
At the same time, he explained the uses of the small Holy Grail and the teleportation scroll one by one.
Holly’s eyes lit up. Then she accepted the two items with a look of shock.
She immediately asked,
"Master, can this teleportation scroll really let me return to my original world?"
An unnatural expression appeared on Skittershade’s face.
"Of course. But the most important of these two things is that small Holy Grail. Remember, the small Holy Grail will bind itself to the great Holy Grail. If you encounter the owner of the great Holy Grail, you can ask him for benefits as much as you like, and also ask him about anything you don’t understand."
Hearing this, how could Holly possibly listen to anything else?
All she cared about was whether she could return to her original world.
Although this game was fun and its simulation was extremely realistic, in the end, it still could not compare to her original world, where she had a phone and a tablet to play with.
"Don’t worry, Master. I’ll definitely make good use of these two things. Once I return to my original world, I’ll still think about coming back to visit you."
Holly excitedly put the two items away.
Seeing her like this, Skittershade’s expression became especially awkward. He quickly waved his hand and said,
"In that case, hurry up and take these two things out of Novice Village."
Holly did not notice anything unusual on his face and excitedly walked out of the palace.
Watching his disciple leave, Skittershade finally let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.
"This idiot disciple is finally willing to leave the village. This has been way too hard on me."
But very quickly, he realized that he had forgotten something. He hurriedly reminded her,
"Oh, right. If you leave this universe and encounter players from other universes, you must be careful of someone named John.
"John is black-hearted and mentally unstable. He scams people. Stay far away from him no matter what."
After giving this warning, Skittershade finally let out another long breath and completely relaxed.
"Although this disciple has a high talent, she is far too simple and naive. If she meets someone like John, she’ll definitely get scammed badly.
"But to be honest, if she weren’t this stupid, I wouldn’t have been able to scam her either."
When he thought of how he had just tricked her by saying that the scroll could send her back to her original world, he felt a wave of guilt.
After all, that scroll was actually a random teleportation scroll. It was impossible for it to truly send her back to her original world.
After feeling guilty for a moment, Skittershade could not help laughing.
"But with her current ability to act weak while hiding terrifying strength, even if she is randomly teleported to the territory of the abyssal demon race, she should still be able to get by.
"After all, she currently possesses a skill over Level 1,000. Adding in all the life-saving items I gave her, there’s no way she’ll be in danger."
In addition, Skittershade possessed a skill that allowed him to monitor his disciple’s movements.
However, the greatest use of this skill was not to keep track of his disciple’s safety.
It was so he could watch battles at any time and laugh at both his disciple and her enemies.
...
At the same time, outside the palace, Holly, who had just been about to leave, suddenly stopped as if she had heard something.
Skittershade had no idea just how many skills this disciple of his had learned.
One of them was a Listening Technique that had already reached over Level 500.
The Listening Technique allowed her to freely hear all secrets within this universe.
It could even include inner thoughts!
Naturally, everything Master Skittershade had just said had entered her ears.
"John? What John?
"Also, Master actually secretly tricked me. But from what he said, it seems this John has some connection to me.
"Forget it. I’ll settle this debt with Master when I have the chance later. The most important thing now is to leave this place first.
"After all, I’m already tired of staying here. Maybe only by going outside can I find a way home.
"Come on, Holly. You will definitely return to your original home!"
As her words fell, Holly exerted a little force and tore apart the random teleportation scroll in her hand.
In the next moment, a prompt rang beside her ears.
[You have used a Random Teleportation Scroll. You will be teleported to an unknown location!]
[Teleportation beginning!]
As the prompt rang out, a flash of white light swept over her body.
Holly’s figure instantly disappeared from where she stood, heading toward an unknown and mysterious universe!
