Chapter 975: Chapter 975: Sleeping Beauty 9

Every player, upon entering the game, had those two pieces of information surface in their minds.

"Quest: Retrieve the King’s sword."

"Rule: No Killing Sharkmen."

What would be the consequence of intentionally breaking a rule so clearly defined by the system, which prohibited killing Sharkmen?

Max’s words reminded everyone.

Not to mention the lack of evidence now, even if there was evidence proving Tan Xiao was responsible, what could they do to Tan Xiao?

"What do we do now? Just do nothing?!" someone challenged.

Another person suggested, "Even if we can’t touch him, we should at least tie him up to ensure our safety."

"Hey! That’s too much!" Tan Xiao was furious, raising the sword in his hand and slamming it down onto the ground with a loud thump!

"Who dares to tie me up?! Try it!" he muttered.

The seven people opposite him remained still.

This wasn’t a fistfight; with weapons in hand, even if they faced Tan Xiao seven to one, they couldn’t guarantee that each of them would emerge unscathed.

After all, these people were hastily recruited by Willard within 24 hours, and their ability to work together was very poor.

They didn’t like Tan Xiao, but at the same time, none wanted to be the first to confront him.

"Alright," Max said with some irritation. "There’s no point in arguing without even understanding the situation."

Max looked over at his group, frowning, and said, "The primary mission is to locate the King’s sword. Just now, we discovered a room upstairs that, from the décor and layout, seems to be the Princess’s bedroom, but we didn’t see the Princess. I suspect she might be one of the key clues, so next, we’d do well to search together for where the Princess might be."

Finally, someone caught on, "Ah... Could it be, like the fairy tale? The Sleeping Princess?"

"The Sleeping Beauty? In the story of Sleeping Beauty, everyone in the castle is asleep, but why isn’t the Princess in bed? Isn’t she supposed to be lying in wait for the Prince?"

"Ha ha ha ha, are you saying we’re the Princes? Not a bad game!"

"Stop joking around, I think it’s different from the fairy tale..."

Max, uninterested in their discussion, interrupted them again, "The Princess is about 165 to 170 centimeters tall, with long golden hair, and a slender build. Everyone, pay attention, she might not be dressed as a Princess, perhaps she’s disguised among the maids, or maybe she’s dead, entangled in the vines. Anyway, let’s start searching, since we currently have no other leads."

With that, he left, leading Ken upstairs.

The remaining five exchanged glances and then split into two groups to search for the Princess.

Standing his ground, Tan Xiao held his sword and mumbled to himself, "They’re searching for the Princess, so I might as well look too... Princess, Princess..."

He looked around and then left the banquet hall.

Still very puzzled.

"Otherwise, I should just look for the sword!" Tan Xiao wandered, talking to himself, "At least I know what the sword looks like..."

As for the Princess, who knew what she looked like? What if she didn’t even look human...

With that thought, Tan Xiao completely gave up on searching for the Princess and focused on looking for the sword. Whenever he saw a guard with a sword, he would draw it, and soon he had amassed a pile, carrying dozens of swords on his shoulder, weighing roughly fifty to sixty kilograms.

If he continued like this, he’d likely strip all the guards in the castle bare.

"I haven’t seen the armory; where could it be..." Tan Xiao reached the staircase and hesitated over whether to go up or down.

Just then, he heard a roar in the distance!

"Damn it!!! Who did this?! Who?!!"
