Chapter 336 Nirvana Faction
336 Nirvana Faction
Blair and the group led by Captain Michael emerge from the spaceship. Blair is greeted by a spectacular scene in front of her.
Compared to the traditional buildings of most factions that are usually fancy and expensive-looking, the buildings here seem quite simple, as if intended for temporary use. Apart from this, she sees several blacksmith shops, all of them working hard as they strike their hammers against their anvils.
'This is weird. They should be called the blacksmith faction or something. Well, that's a blessing in disguise. If their leader isn't hostile, maybe I can get a free polish for my sword,' Blair thinks inwardly as Michael leads her to the base of the faction leader.
As they get closer to the faction leader's base, Blair sees a group of people coming towards her, with the aura of one person quite distinct from the others. The people look strong, but this person sticks out like a thumb.
'Is that their leader?' Blair thinks inwardly.
When they get close to the group of people coming towards them, Michael stops in his tracks and gives a bow to a tall slender woman wearing the uniform of the Nirvana Faction, her own a bit different.
"Hello, miss, I am Fiona Woolf, the leader and founder of Nirvana Faction. I'm an SS-RANK traveller just like you," the slender woman says, stretching her hands forward to shake Blair.
"The name is Blair... Blair Graham," Blair replies, giving Fiona a handshake.
"I was told you wanted to see me. I guess there's a huge problem, right?" Blair asks while scratching the back of her head.
"Fufu, no problem is too big without a solution..." Fiona answers. "Follow me please, we need to have a talk," Fiona gestures to Blair who follows her without any hesitation.
Blair and Fiona can be seen seated opposite each other, slowly sipping the tea that was served to them.
"It's rare to find someone as powerful as you who is this calm and collected. Most powerful people would have caused us trouble or claim that we disregarded them for telling them we need to have a talk, especially when they are from another faction," Fiona speaks out.
Slowly dropping her tea, Blair looks at Fiona. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Well... I only hunt to quench my bloodlust. I hunt on other planets for some reason so as not to attract attention, especially from the Hunters Faction. And oh, if you are planning to tell me to join your faction, I am sorry, I won't be able to join," Blair replies, putting a dough into her mouth.
"I see... So, you are really not here for that," Fiona mutters while a smile blooms on her face.
"For what?" Blair asks, looking confused.
"Nothing. I just want you to know that it's against the rules of every traveller to freely hunt on a planet that has been claimed by a faction. Next time, you have to take permission," Fiona explains.
"Ah... Sorry. Some people told me not to hunt on their planet again, so I had to go and hunt around," Blair says.
"Well... That's what I am saying. There are beast planets that haven't been occupied by any faction or only a small portion of it has been occupied. Those are the types of planets where travellers can freely hunt beasts without any restrictions. However, those types of planets are dangerous to explore because they haven't been mapped out, thus, the types of beasts on it haven't been known yet," Fiona explains.
"I see... I understand now. So, I shouldn't hunt here again, right?" Blair asks while she continues to stuff many doughs in her mouth, causing her mouth to be full.
'Wow, this girl is so innocent and polite. She's even pregnant. I wonder who her husband is and why she's so hell-bent on hunting beasts. I am curious about her ability though' Fiona thinks inwardly as she scrutinizes Blair from top to bottom.
"Mrs. Blair, I didn't say you can't hunt here again. According to our men, they said you gave out all the crystals and you told them that you were only interested in hunting. There must be a reason behind your action, so, I am willing to help you out," Fiona says with a smile.
Hearing Fiona's words, Blair's eyes widen in shock while a smile blooms on her face. This revelation is just like a dream come true for her. To be able to hunt beasts daily to her satisfaction and quench her bloodlust.
"Really?!" Blair exclaims. Fiona nods her head in response.
"Yes, Mrs. Blair. You can hunt on this planet and the other planets that we are in charge of or the region we occupied. Apart from that, you'll be paid seventy percent money worth of your kills while the faction will take thirty percent. The condition is that all the beasts will be sold to us. To top it all off, I'll even give you the teleporter code of some beast planets that haven't been occupied by any faction. Do you agree to this deal?" Fiona asks with a smile.
Hearing Fiona's words, Blair's mouth opens in shock once again. This offer is just too good to be true for her.
"I'll even be paid?!" Blair asks again.
"Yes, you'll be paid. You can even get a team if you want," Fiona adds.
"Waaah~" Blair mutters, her eyes sparkling as she looks at Fiona like a gold mine. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Blair, Fiona is also looking at her like a jackpot. Since she's usually busy. Having someone like Stella on her side is like a miracle because they'll have enough crystals at their disposal, which means their Faction will gain more popularity.
"I'll accept this deal, however," Blair suddenly says, her expression turning serious. "I hope I won't be tied to any conditions. Will I be able to leave when my husband returns?" Blair asks with a grim expression.
For a moment, Fiona's mind skips while fear grips her. Despite being an SS-RANK traveller like the girl in front of her, she is still wary of her.
"You can leave anytime you want and hunt at your disposal," Fiona answers, and then Blair's cheerful expression returns.
