Chapter 110: The Common Ground of Everyone

Ursula gave him a glare, but in the end she still nodded. "That's true. That scale is perfect, Jess. The effect is even better than I expected. Forget it. I'll let you off this time, you little brat."

"By the way, what do you want to use that scale for?" Jess asked secretly.

"It's a secret." Ursula said, turning her head. "You're not honest with me, so don't expect others to tell you everything."

Jess helplessly pursed his lips and looked at Gargim who was illuminated by the firelight in the middle.

At this time, Gargim was chanting the spell of the curse of weakness, and then began to explain the casting movements. Since Jess had written these down for him, he didn't listen much.

Now the people present could already smell the aroma of roasted meat. This was drifting back from the inn's kitchen.

If this was the last spell, then logically after finishing, they would wait for the meal. Jess had been waiting for this moment from the very beginning.

But Gargim suddenly said, "Our little group has existed for some time. Now both Galdes and I hope that we can come up with a name to strengthen our cohesion and continue our spirit of sharing and helping each other. What do you think?"

Erlan shouted "Agree." Ursula and Surena also nodded. Naturally, Jess had no reason to refuse.

"That's great if everyone agrees." Gargim said. "You can come up with a suitable name and see what everyone thinks."

Surena said, "Black Rose. Don't you think this name is cool?"

"It sounds like a pirate group." Ursula said. "And won't it be too showy?"

"There is a bit of that meaning." Gargim said.

"The Dark Brotherhood!" Erlan suddenly said. "We are born in the dark and grow in the dark!"

Hearing this name, Jess shivered. Calling this name is a bit like being in the wrong play. This is Azeroth, not Tamriel!

Ursula said, "It sounds like bad people. We're not a criminal gang here planning heinous crimes like arson and murder. There's no need to make ourselves so evil."

"This won't work either, that won't work either. Then you come up with one! Ms. Delin!" Erlan said unhappily.

Ursula hemmed and hawed for a while. It seemed that she didn't have a good idea either.

"I have a suggestion." Galdes said. "Let's call it the Dagger Society. When each of us joined the group, we used a dagger to slaughter a lamb and completed the sacrificial ceremony. I think the dagger is a symbol that connects us and our common ground."

Gargim said, "It's low-key enough, but won't it be mistaken for a killer gang?"

Galdes said, "In comparison, the Dark Brotherhood and Black Rose seem more like killer gangs? After all, the dagger has been an important ritual utensil since ancient times."

"This name is too boring." Ursula said.

"Don't talk anymore, Ursula Delin!" Erlan said. "Let's just call it the Dagger Society. Does a name have to be so troublesome?"

"What about Surena and Jess? What do you think?" Gargim asked.

"I have no objection." Jess said. "Let's call it the Dagger Society."

"Since Galdes said so, I agree too." Surena said.

In fact, although Galdes' suggestion of the Dagger Society surprised Jess, it wasn't unexpected.

In the game, more than twenty years later, the warlocks of Azeroth established an organization called the Black Mirror Council. The predecessor of this Black Mirror Council is a group composed of six powerful warlocks. They call themselves "Six Daggers."

Could it be that Galdes' Dagger Society is the initial form of this Six Daggers Council?

Jess had always thought that the founder of the Six Daggers Council was Kansared Emberlock, the initial leader of the Black Mirror Council. Compared to this group of warlocks, Kansared is much more famous to most warlock players other than humans.

But now, Jess has never heard of this person in the real Azeroth. However, he does know that the surname Emberlock is a noble family in Glen. That is to say, Kansared is very likely in Glen Town right now, which is later known as Duskwood.

Could he be secretly researching dark magic there alone?

"Okay, now I declare that the first gathering of the Dagger Society begins now!" As soon as Gargim finished speaking, Surena sighed, "Thank the Holy Light. Finally, we can eat something. My stomach is already growling."

"Thank the Holy Light?!"

"Tsk!"

Several men laughed. The originally somewhat serious basement suddenly became much more relaxed.

Jess also slowly stood up and stretched, putting away his book and waiting for Zare to bring down the food.

He had been waiting for this free feast all day and hadn't eaten anything. At first, he was so hungry that he had passed the hunger stage. Now that someone mentioned the feast, his stomach started growling again.

"Do you like it here, Jess?" Ursula's voice came close to his ear.

"Sure." Jess said. "It's quite relaxing here."

"Isn't it because of Surena?" she asked again.

"Surena?" Jess asked strangely. "Why? I don't know her well at all."

"Don't you know? Seriously? Those men all have a thing with her. Gargim, Erlan, even Zare... That bartender who claims to have nothing to do with the warlock group has also slept with her. Galdes... I don't know. In short, he's definitely not as upright as he seems. So, what about you?"

Jess wasn't at all surprised by such things. That woman Surena seemed to be this kind of person. But he still shook his head and just said, "Maybe our relationship hasn't reached that point yet."

"Be careful, Jess." Ursula said. "As soon as anything involves that matter, it will suddenly become countless times more complicated. I think you're a kind little guy, so I don't want you to be dragged into the water. When one day those scumbags make a mess, as long as you haven't gotten involved, you can stay out of it. Understand what I mean?"

Hearing the word "kind", Jess suddenly thought of the sheep that he had beaten into a wild dog-like state. He didn't know how it was now. Was it eaten by wolves, captured by gnolls, or still wandering in the forest?

"Surena is not my type."

Ursula pressed on. "Could it be that you like men?"

"No." Jess said. "It's just that Surena is not my type."

Ursula whispered. "Don't say it so definitely. When the time comes, I hope you remember what you said. Don't just obediently follow your body when the time comes."

Jess looked at Gargim and Erlan, then at Surena.

"If only she were a bit whiter. Now when the light is a bit dim, she can hardly be seen."

He didn't say any more. He just smacked his lips and shook his head self-deprecatingly. Ursula laughed and sat back.
