Chapter 54

The old man who fell from the sky was clearly an NPC. He looked quite old, with a head of black and white hair and a well-groomed beard. He wore a stylish set of red and yellow armor that clearly wasn't ordinary, and Li Huailin was a bit envious of his handsome equipment.

The old NPC had a two-handed sword on his back, looking like a warrior class, and from his dramatic entrance, he seemed to be an expert. With the system's help, Li Huailin could see the NPC's green name: Yishaq Fernando.

Yishaq's expression didn't seem very friendly, apparently related to Li Huailin touching the divine sword. From his words, Li Huailin could feel deep malice.

"Was it you who touched the divine sword?" Yishaq sized up Li Huailin and said rudely, "You can't fool me, kid. I can tell if you're lying from your expression. Answer me, boy!"

"I hate old farts like you who act all high and mighty. What's there to show off? You're just a few years older than me. If I reach level 100, I'll be able to take you down in a second." Li Huailin casually brushed off the dust on his clothes and said nonchalantly, "Yeah, it was me who touched it. Why lie? What are you going to do about it?"

"To dare to desecrate a divine object with a mortal's body, how audacious!" Yishaq suddenly roared.

System notification: Due to touching the divine sword without permission, Yishaq Fernando's favorability towards you has increased by 30 points. Current favorability: Friendly.

Suddenly, Yishaq's expression changed, and his previously fierce face became friendly: "Well done, to touch the divine sword without my permission, I admire you."

"Touching your divine sword is nothing. Even if I spend your money, live in your house, ride your wife, and beat your kids, what can you do about it?" Li Huailin said casually.

System notification: Due to insulting Yishaq Fernando, Yishaq Fernando's favorability towards you has increased by 10 points. Current favorability: Respectful.

Favorability increased again, now directly respectful. Yishaq's expression improved: "Not bad, my young friend. I underestimated you. You far exceed my expectations."

"Too much praise, too much praise. Just sleeping with your wife and beating your kids isn't something to brag about. Please don't praise me, I can't handle it." Li Huailin patted Yishaq's shoulder and said.

"I didn't expect you to be such a respectable person. I was going to give you a few quests to test your character, but it seems unnecessary now." Yishaq nodded in satisfaction, "Young friend, to be honest, I'm old. I don't have much time left to guard the divine sword. Do you have the intention to inherit my will and guard this divine sword, Siluda?"

System notification: Yishaq Fernando invites you to join the organization "Divine Sword Guardians." Do you agree?

"Divine Sword Guardians?" Li Huailin was taken aback. What kind of organization is this? He had never heard of it, even after browsing forums for a long time. He had only seen this one Yishaq and this organization, and there didn't seem to be any Divine Sword Guardians' base in the main city. "What does this organization do?"

"The Divine Sword Guardians exist to protect the divine sword." Yishaq answered seriously, "Our creed is to protect the divine sword with our lives. If the divine sword appears, it will cause turmoil in the world, no matter who wields it, even the most peace-loving person. We must prevent this from happening, so we must stop anyone who touches the divine sword!"

"What kind of strange cult is this?" Li Huailin scratched his head and continued, "How many members does this organization have?"

"Three years ago when I joined, there were about 90 members. Now, after three years, there are probably a few more." Yishaq said.

"Damn, there are only about 90 people on the entire continent. What kind of game is this? I heard the Church of Light has over a hundred million followers. Your cult would be wiped out by just one of their branches." Li Huailin almost spat blood. With only 90 people, what kind of cult is this? It's like a village forming a republic and being wiped out by the county police.

"Church of Light, hmpf." Yishaq snorted, "Do we fear them?"

"Oh?" Li Huailin was suddenly taken aback. It seemed Yishaq didn't like the Church of Light. So, the Divine Sword Guardians were an organization opposing the Church of Light? Thinking about it, Li Huailin suddenly felt joining this organization might be a good idea. With the Church of Light having over a hundred million followers, if he were to be hated and pursued by them, he would be in danger wherever he went.

Thinking about this, Li Huailin nodded: "Right, what you said makes sense. I think I should join the Divine Sword Guardians."

"Are you really willing to join the Divine Sword Guardians and dedicate everything, even your life, to the divine sword?" Yishaq said solemnly.

"Of course." Li Huailin was more than willing to dedicate his life. He wanted to dedicate his life, the more deaths the better. It would be great if various experts came to抢 the divine sword and accidentally killed him.

System notification: You have joined the "Divine Sword Guardians," and the Divine Sword Guardians' reputation has been activated.

"Good, young friend, you are now one of us. I will send your information to our headquarters' database." Yishaq said with a smile, "By the way, this is our organization's emblem, which can identify you."

Yishaq handed over something like a badge. Li Huailin took it and looked at it. It was a red badge with a shield design.

"We are the shield of the divine sword, and this is our creed." Yishaq pointed to the emblem.

Divine Sword Guardians Emblem: Non-tradable, indestructible, and cannot be dropped. Usage: Teleport to the entrance of the Altar of the Fire Divine Sword Siluda. Cooldown: 3 days.

Li Huailin looked at the emblem. It was just an emblem, not an equipment item, with no attributes. It could be worn on the chest or kept in a bag, and it couldn't be thrown away. Since it took up a slot in the bag, Li Huailin decided to wear it on his chest.

"Young friend, you are still quite weak. I had a quest for you, but it seems you haven't met my requirements yet. Come back when you reach level 30, and I will give you a quest." Yishaq looked at Li Huailin and said.

"Come back to you?" Li Huailin was taken aback.

"I must guard the Fire Divine Sword Siluda and cannot leave this place. I can only rely on you to complete this quest." Yishaq said, "This is a hidden class quest. I believe it will greatly benefit you."

"Hidden class?" Li Huailin was taken aback. This sounded good. A hidden class was clearly something powerful, and the best part was that it would accompany him for life, unlike equipment that could be lost upon death. This quest was worth completing even if it cost him some experience.

"I can only tell you so much. You are not yet capable of completing this quest." Yishaq said, "When you are strong enough, I will give you this quest."

"Understood, you look quite friendly now." Li Huailin nodded and patted Yishaq again.
