Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

When I began to check this option, I was impressed by the diversity of soldiers being sold here. The lower level player I could buy was a level fifty player, and he would cost me only one hundred gold coins.

That meant with the same price of bringing my players here I could have bought players with higher levels instead, which made me feel some regret.

I didn't feel like that for long, as I had to train my players here and make them get used to this environment. In the future I would depend entirely over the one hundred and fifty players that I brought with me.

So bringing them wasn't that bad.

The more I checked the list the more I got eager to buy more. Each increase in levels was with ten levels each time, and the prices would go up by one hundred gold coins each.

My gold coins were enough to recruit a big army, however there was a hint beside these soldiers. I had to buy them when I left this checkpoint, so I had to move out first.

The rest of the items there were really eye opening for me, as I found a lot of items that I drooled upon and I couldn't even think of buying now. One of the items sold was an old post, with its fortified walls and all the defensive structures built for it.

This post lied at rank seven, and its price wasn't that much, only one hundred million gold coins, what a silly joke it was.

If I could obtain posts like this one then I wouldn't lack any gold coins, however I knew this was a tricky offer to accept. Rank seven lands were very dangerous for me right now, besides I had no gold coins to cover its price.

I got my current wealth with great difficulty, however right now I felt so poor in front of those tycoons. I sighed, as most of the interesting and useful items sold here weren't suitable for me.

Most but not all, as I found a couple of useful war items that would help me greatly in the upcoming trial. These items were war equipment, like those siege ladders which cost one hundred gold coins each, and one fearsome looking low grade trebuchet cost around ten thousand gold coins.

I also found battering ram, catapults, many versions of ballista. Everything related to advanced war was there waiting for me to buy.

What should I buy? How much should I spend here? For me I wanted to get them all, however the money in my hand was really limited.

Each weapon of those had its range and destruction limit, however I knew the most expensive thing ever was the food supplements to mystic art players like me and Rog.

One cake was worth no less than one hundred gold coins, which was pretty expensive in comparison to the price standard here or back there in my town.

However I knew neglecting these cakes would cost me more, as the consumption exerted over my body when using my mystic art was really higher, much higher than the normal game environment.

So, with the money in hand I could buy thousands of level fifty players, many war siege equipment, or I could wait to test the limits of using my mystic art and then decide.

For me that would be the most logical choice. It seemed numbers weren't the main issue here, as the ocean of players around me proved this point so far. I needed to check my abilities first, determine the limits exerted over my mystic art, and then decide how much gold coins should I allocate for my cakes.

I didn't forget the mystic land artifact that I had, as it was a bottomless abyss of gold coin consumption no doubt. If I had that artifact and didn't use it, then I would be damned.

Less than seven hundred thousand gold coins were all I had, and thus I had to be careful, very careful in spending them.

I was sure there would be ways to earn money here, however until I figure these ways out and secure more than one for me, I should be stingy in spending my money.

My main goal was to look for a post and conquer it, then I had a long and difficult mission in controlling and defending it. I wasn't mistaken, as the task of fortifying a post would be costly, very costly indeed.

Thinking in this mess and noise amidst the ocean of players wasn't ideal, so I glanced at my players as I sent in the team chat of my main players:

'Organize the players into smaller teams you led, then let's move.'

'We need to talk,' Rody suddenly said in the team chat. I knew what he was referring to, so I said:

'Not here, let's move out and when we reach a suitable place we can talk.'

'Talk about what?' Rog asked with a loss. He wasn't there with us at the auction hall, so he didn't know about what we got.

I just glanced at him then I began to narrate what happened shortly inside the chat as we started to move out.

When I finished, Rog said with a shocking expression over his face:

'You got one curse of that witch, are you out of your mind?'

I smiled as I vaguely replied:

'Maybe, you know I'm a crazy girl after all.'

He glanced silently at me with doubt in his eyes. He knew me, and he wasn't someone to judge people lightly. So, he must have suspected something, but how could he guess my true identity?

I smiled as I moved, penetrating the large crowd of players around me. For a time I thought this place had no end, and players were stretching to cover the horizon, however after one hour we managed to finally break through from here.

The area began to be vacant of players, as the lands stretched outward with some weird colors of the ground. The lands were white in color like it was covered with salt. This was strange, as inside that check point I couldn't spot the ground from all those players there.

In front of me I noticed the presence of large colons that extended from the ground towards the sky. Each was like a long pillar that held the sky. This was a scene to behold, as the pillars stretched out in regular pattern and fixed distance between one another.

Without doubt this was the outer marks of the safe region. I moved towards one of the pillars as I stopped there. there were not many players here, so it was kind of safe to speak about that curse now.

'Spread the players to form a safe zone around us, as we need to talk,' I said as I looked around the players waiting for them to disperse. In less than one minute, an area of five hundred meters around us was secured by my players.

It was time to check that artifact then.

I took out the cube, as it seemed heavier than I thought. It had some markings over it, however that wasn't the thing I wanted to check. What I needed to know right now was the details of this artifact, so I observed it and the details of it I shared in the team chat.

'Sacred Land Artifact: Artifact grade special equipment. Forged by the witch. Soul bound to player Agatha. Doesn't fall after death. Can't be transferred except with soul binding contract. Effective only in sacred lands. Nothing can affect the artifact or disturb its functions.

It enables the player to trap any demon or players inside the sacred land. The cost of trapping any demon is one hundred gold coins per demon. The cost of trapping any player is one gold coin per player.

Trapped demons can be kept forever inside it, but each passing day costs ten gold coins. Trapped players can't persist there when players exit sacred land, and it costs one gold coin daily to keep them in.

Trapped demons can be affected by the artifact to become loyal followers of the player. The cost of shifting loyalty is one hundred gold coins per demon.

Trapped players can be released after signing a serving contract with a player. The cost of this contract is fifty gold coins per player.

Shifting loyalty function or servant contracts are both forced abilities, so no demon or player has the power to change or oppose it.

Artifact backlash one is erased as the player is a descendant of the witch.

Artifact backlash two is erased as the player is a descendant of the witch.

Artifact backlash three is erased as the player is a descendant of the witch.

Artifact backlash four is erased as the player is a descendant of the witch.

Artifact backlash five is erased as the player is a descendant of the witch.

Artifact backlash six is erased as the player is a descendant of the witch.

Artifact backlash seven is erased as the player is a descendant of the witch.

Artifact backlash eight is erased as the player is a descendant of the witch.

Artifact backlash nine is erased as the player is a descendant of the witch.

Artifact backlash ten is erased as the player is a descendant of the witch.'

The long list of artifact backlashes made my scalp numb. If I wasn't really related to the witch, then my life would be hell. It seemed there were far worse curses than the ones that master spoke of.

At the same time, this artifact was the existing evidence of Shin's true words from before. I was really related to that witch, and if he was also true about everything else, then I would be the reincarnation of her.

That meant I had invisible enemies eyes me from shadows, that wasn't a pleasant feeling at all. I needed to be more careful from now on.

"What the f***!!!" suddenly Gabri yelled like this out of the blue. I looked at him and then chuckled as I guessed he read the part related to my identity.

"Are you re…" Rody was about to ask however I interrupted him by saying:

"In our chat please."

Rody swallowed the remains of his words as he knew he was making a grave mistake right now. My secret identity was something they had to treat carefully, very carefully. So, I said in the chat:

'Now you know my secret, and you also realize how risky this secret is. keep it to yourselves then, and never tell anyone about it, or else you will earn yourselves the wrath of the blood thirsty witch, which is my wrath.'
