Chapter 160: The Big Haul from the Trial of the King
Big Foot shrieked, "THAT THING IS GIVING US HIS MIDDLE FINGER! IT IS A CURSE!"
Falling down on his butt, Big Foot dragged his body backwards, distancing himself from the golden gauntlet.
". . ." Song Ronghua.
". . ." Old Dog
". . . " Little Three and people from San Wuji's faction.
All of them felt a little speechless, how could there be a spineless coward like this? Was that even scarier than fighting the stoneman from the third trial alone?
Seriously?
If it was any other time, they would beat Big Foot black and blue, not letting the latter away at any cost.
PAKK!
Smacking Big Foot's head with all he had, Song Ronghua scowled, "Curse, curse, curse, curse your ass! Move your ass and get the job done! You dare to make a problem, see how I will sort you out!"
[Not the same stoneman as earlier, not some scary statue or even a bunch of Fierce Beast, not even some gory scene, only a gauntlet showing its middle finger! Middle finger! What is there to be scared of? Really?]
[Are you really a member of Light of Sword, no, are you even a man? Even a sissy is braver than you!]
"Bu- bu- bu- but," Big Foot stuttered, but he continued, "I- isn't it because we did a little trick back in the fourth trial? Making it annoyed at us? This is a trial, right? Perhaps, because we didn't do the trial based on the requirement, making this gauntlet curses us? It is right, isn't it? I am right, right? Hey, I am not wrong, right? If not, how could a mere dead thing raise its middle finger toward us? It is inconceivable, right? I am sane, right?" His expression was similar to a miserable beggar, full of mess and full of fear.
[[[Nope, you are crazy.]]]
Many had the same though, but no one said it loud in case of the crazy man became crazier.
Rolling his eyes toward the speechless little Three, Song Ronghua snorted, "Take care of him. I don't want something stupid like earlier to happen the second time. We have been working very hard in order to clear this mission, and I don't want some crap to disturb us."
With his cue, the thirteen people moved and did their own job. From taking all the armour in this place, including the glittering gauntlet with its middle finger raised. Song Ronghua didn't know what it was, but he believed that this thing was important. At least, as important as the ash-coloured armour.
The total was thirteen ash-coloured armours, one jade armour, and a golden gauntlet.
It was a big haul, a very big one.
For a little reminder, for the exception of the Black Iron Army member, it was very rare to see someone with full-set armour like the ash-colour armour. Even the price of each part was high. The lowest price of a chest plate made from black iron was at least 5 gold coins, while the used black iron in the chest plate was only around 30-40% purity. And it was a chest plate, only covering the heart's area.
Hence, most people would upgrade their weapon rather than wearing a better armour.
And on the other side, the ash-coloured armour made from an unknown metal, but Song Ronghua predicted that the price of a full set was more than a hundred gold coins. Not only the quality seemed better than a normal black iron, but also it was a set from top to bottom.
Hence, the thing from this place worth more than a thousand gold coins, if it was sold at market price. If these things were sent to the auction house for nobility, the price would soar even higher.
And it was only the ash-coloured armours, not counting the jade armour and the golden gauntlet.
It was literally a gold mine - they struck rich!
Seeing that everything was all packed, Song Ronghua cleared his throat.
"Men!" After gathering all of the surroundings attention, Song Ronghua continued, "The Trial of the King is completed. I am very proud of your teamwork, our teamwork. We have worked together, especially in the third trials, where we fight an indestructible stoneman. It was a hard fight and almost an impossible one, but I am glad that we could pass it. Moreover, without casualties."
Started with flattering and a little appreciation, the expression of the surroundings was good and the atmosphere was full of harmony. Indeed, each one of them was the fellow sufferer in this place, not only at the third trial, but also they almost killed each other in the fourth trial.
Deep down inside their heart, they didn't care whether the other party was their fellow faction or the opposition faction, but there was one thing they understood.
All of them would join the Sword of Judgement, making the matter of faction rendered useless.
Of course, who would be so stupid to stay in that kind of position if they could enter something better, something higher, along with glory!
"Even though there is some friction between us, as what we can see at the fourth trial, I wish to remind all of you of one thing." Giving a serious vibe in his speech, Song Ronghua presented himself as an elder, as a proper leader and the good one. "No matter what faction you are, we are one Sword of Light. No, perhaps we can be called as the member of Light of Judgement."
Song Ronghua showed his cheeky smile at the end of his word, making the serious atmosphere thwarted. It was good to be serious, but being too rigid would make things worked the opposite. By adding an ice-breaker, he wanted to rope in the people of San Wuji's faction.
No, after this mission, the seven people wouldn't stay as the member of San Wuji's faction. They would join a new faction, a much better and far stronger one in Light of Judgement. And of course, he wouldn't let this chance away.
As a new member of Sword of Judgement, he would stay at the most bottom position. His only way was joining another's faction and became a goofer. It was inefficient for him, but it was the opposite if he had people under him.
He would make a new faction, no, he would make a solid team based on trust. The third and fourth trial's result was the basis of his confidence, solidifying his authority on the fourteen people and took the leader's position.
With those as the foundation, he believed that he would be able to survive even without joining any faction later.
As Song Ronghua was in his deep and far thinking, someone was having his mischievous thought. He was called Pig Head because, in his mind, there were only three things - food, women, and wealth. And in coincidence, their haul was considered wealth. His appearance was good-looking, if one removed the and swollen face and pig nose of his.
And currently, Pig Head's attention was glued to the ash-coloured armour.
[Even if these things will be handed for the Sword of Judgement as our contribution, there is no problem to wear it for some time.] Pig Head chuckled in his mind while he picked up a set of ash-coloured armour. Yep, it was greed. A part of human's nature.
It was not weird for Pig Head to have such thinking since he had never worn such full-set armour. Not to mention him, the others member of the Sword of Light were the same.
In the Black Iron City, the only one with full-set armour was the Black Iron Army, and even their full-set armour was not as through as this ash-coloured armour.
With such temptation, who could resist it? Moreover, it was only trying the armour, not stealing it.
He started to wear the armour one by one, not caring of questioning looks from the surroundings. No one cared to say anything as they had the same mind with Pig Head.
[No matter what, these armours will be handed over. Why not they tried to wear this cool looking armour?]
But, there was one thing in their mind which making each of them bottled up their desire.
[Who knows that we are allowed to try it? What will happen if our admission ticket to be part of Sword of Judgement will be revoked because of this insignificant thing?]
Everyone tried to hold it in, for the sake of the future.
Most people were able to hold on, except for one person, Fatty Pig. His appearance was more similar to a pig, with thick and flabby meat all over his body. He couldn't hold in his desire as he saw the cool-looking Pig Head wearing ash-coloured armour. Even though Pig Head hadn't worn the complete set, the glittering armour hid his round and big belly, making him even more good-looking.
Gritting his teeth, Fatty Pig made his decision. Taking out a set of ash-coloured armour, he didn't waste any time as he force-fitting the armour in his thick meat, er, thick skin.
But unexpectedly, the armour couldn't contain all of his meat, making some were sticking out from the gap on the armour. And of course, it was a hilarious scene.
"BUAHAHAHA! YOU DAMN FATTY! WHAT WITH THAT APPEARANCE!" As if it was contagious, the laugh from one person was spread toward to another one, filling the place with various laughter.
"Fatty. What are you wearing? It is unsuitable hahaha!"
"The armour is good-looking, but it is a little weird after you put it on, hahaha!"
"Oh, my! My stomach! Ahahaha!"
"Screw you all!" Fatty Pig's face reddened until he was no different from a boiled pig. He didn't care about their jeer as he would wear something that the laughing people wouldn't wear anymore. "Just say that all of you are envying both me and Pig Head, right? Tsk."
After wearing all the armour, there was only the last piece. The red mask – it was a scary looking red mask, with some black-coloured pattern on the mask. But all in all, it was a cool-looking mask, enough to make children cried.
Clank.
A weird sound was resounded when Fatty Pig and Pig Head wore their red mask. But no one paid any attention, but rather observing their comrade's appearance.
All of them were in awe, full of surprise. No one could believe their own eyes, and even some checked their own orientation in case they were not a straight man.
Not paying any attention toward Fatty Pig, Pig Head's handsomeness level soared through the roof. His body, or more exactly his armour, gave a weird vibe of a trained army. Straight back and body, wide chest, tall posture, as if the old Pig Head was a butcher and his remain was remade into the current Pig Head.
The new Pig Head had a similar aura with the Black Iron Army. No, it was even better. There was a trace of bloodthirstiness in his posture, akin to a panther eyeing its game, its prey.
"HECK! F**K IT! F**K YOUR SISTER AND PIG'S SISTER!" Little Three's cursing woke them from their trance. "WHO ARE YOU! DON'T SAY IT IS FATTY PIG BECAUSE I WILL NOT BELIEVE YOU!"
Little Three's loud voice attracted the other's attention, making all eyes were nailed at Fatty Pig. But all their reaction was no any better than little Three. Some were flabbergasted, some shocked by such scene, and even some tried to rub their temple in case of hallucination.
It was obvious that no one believed their eyes, fearing that even their eyes were playing trick. But no matter how hard all of them rubbed their eyes, it was the same.
The ash-coloured armour grew bigger as if suiting itself with the wearer size. But it was not the main problem, rather the wearer's figure himself. Fatty Pig's original body was a fat man, all greasy and full of flabby meat. But at present, all his flabby meat disappeared and all changed with all muscle. His body size even grew bigger and taller, at least almost 2.3 metres. And similar with Pig Head, his posture was straight, as if showing off his muscle.
"DAMN! DON'T TELL ME THIS ARMOUR HAS A FEATURE TO MAKE SOMEONE MORE HANDSOME!" Old Dog was the first one to scream, followed by the other poor men.
"Oh, my, muscle body, with that kind of body, what kind of lady will resist such charm? And later, I will be the most-sought man in the best brothel!"
"Really? Are you serious? The most-sought man? Are you selling your body for gay there? And you want to be well-known?"
"F**K OFF! SCRAM AS FAR AS YOUR LOST VIRGINITY!"
". . . I am not a virgin."
"Exactly, that's what I mean."
"SHUT UP GAY! SCRAM AS FAR AS YOUR LOST PURITY!"
"WHAT! YOU WANT TO FIGHT! BRING IT ON, AND I WILL SHOW YOU WHY BLOOD IS RED!"
Covering his butt, he shook his head in fear, "No, thanks. I will just scram, no need to mind me anymore."
". . . F**K YOU! F**K YOUR GRANDFATHER! F**K YOUR NEIGHBOUR AND EVERYONE YOU KNOW FROM A TO Z!"
All of them were laughing, enjoying their hard-earned peace. But no one realized the storm before the peace which was eyeing them.
