“Sure enough, he is as fierce as what the legends depict him to be...”
The two ladies were frightened by Fearless sudden howl and their faces drained of color as they frantically hid behind One Page Book.
One Page Book instinctively reached out and stopped Fearless in his tracks. The dagger in her hands radiated a burning fla and her face was full of wariness towards this legendary rogue leader.
“...”
Fearless had no words at this point. Who were these people?
...
City Lord was just about to finish handing out the rewards to the mbers of Void Blade. After the guild leader Captain Don’t Open Fire finally received his reward, the gazes of the players turned towards the leaders of the other guilds.
Seeing the sea of experts, the City Lord cleared his throat and began speaking with a solemn expression, “Welco, distinguished guests. Thank you for taking the ti to heed my call.”
“City Lord, you are too kind. It is our responsibility to help you in any capacity.” Captain Don’t Open Fire quickly interjected at side, seemingly licking the City Lord’s boot.
City Lord was also a sentient NPC with a high AI capability. He just reciprocated Captain Don’t Open Fire with a casual smile.
When the other guild leaders saw this situation, they could only lant and bla themselves for not seizing the advantage. Captain Don’t Open Fire clearly had a higher standing in the City Lord’s eyes right now. After the trial battle, he would definitely get an advantageous position.
Sanguine Warflag dismissed coldly, “Look at that little grandson grabbing another dog leg, I just look down on him!”
“You probably despise him for stealing your lilight, don’t you?” Fearless squinted towards him and questioned. He already saw the look in his eyes when the City Lord just started speaking.
Sanguine Warflag quickly defended himself, “What is flattering or not flattering, it is just a strategy...”
“Old Flag, when you do retire, how about you co to Quan Zhen Sect and teach us? I feel that you are becoming more and more like one of us.” Fearless sighed ironically.
“Is it? What a complint from you.” Sanguine Warflag did not even detect the sarcasm in Fearless voice and took it as a complint.
The City Lord continued, “I don’t know when this whole thing started, but the world is getting increasingly chaotic. I am already in my old age and I cannot have much of an impact on matters at this point. I hope there are players among you that can help manage Twilight City.”
The City Lord had cut straight into the matter at hand. This old City Lord indeed needed capable assistants to help him manage and administrate Twilight City.
Just when everyone was raring to express their heartfelt condolences, City Lord resud his speech, “I have lived so long in this world yet I have no descendants to speak of. Twilight City cannot go one day with a ruler. I have the intention to pass this responsibility to a suitable heir.”
“Hua...”
Once they heard the City Lord’s intentions, the various guild leaders broke out in a flurry small talk.
The City Lord was not only looking for an assistant, but he was also looking for a new City Lord.
This developnt was looking interesting.
The City Lord position was the highest-ranking official in a city. Everything in the city was under his jurisdiction.
In addition to a share of the tax, there were many other special privileges that ca with the position.
For example, the ga’s most powerful NPC guard was assigned to protect the City Lord.
Of course, it did not matter much if a player who was also a City Lord had this privilege.
Hearing the news, Sanguine Warflag quickly readjusted his plans. He abandoned his prior target of being a City administrator... Since the City Lord was the position with the most power after all.
“Fearless, if I can beco the City Lord, I will make sure you Quan Zhen Sect is well taken care of.” Sanguine Warflag imdiately gave a promise to Fearless.
“The City Lord position is probably not a good idea, look how healthy the City Lord is.” Fearless furrowed his eyebrows.
The City Lord was seemingly still in his pri years, around forty to fifty years old. He still had many more good years before retirent.
This talk about finding an heir was most likely a bunch of nonsense.
Even if a player accepted the position of the City Lord heir, there was still quite a few years before he could get into power.
“Hey, what you said made sense.” Sanguine Warflag nodded in agreent, “My request is not too much this ti. No matter what administrative rights to a region I obtain, this region needs to be better than that of Captain Don’t Open Fire.”
Sanguine Warflag was completely hateful towards Captain Don’t Open Fire. His request contained benchmarks that wanted to surpass those of Captain Don’t Open Fire.
“I can only try...” Fearless simply replied.
Due to the fact that Void Blade had successfully completed Immorial Covenant quest, Captain Don’t Open Fire current standing far exceeded his peers. To snatch away the administrative rights for the best region from his hands was not possible by re strength alone.
“How about it? Is everyone willing to help ?” Seeing the silent crowd, City Lord posed his question again.
Captain Don’t Open Fire who was at one side once again stole the lilight, “As long as City Lord and the countless citizens need us, we are willing to offer up our youth!”
“Right, right, we also agree.”
Other guild leaders also answered in succession... What a joke, who would not be willing at this request? Everyone was clamouring to play a leading role in this matter.
Seeing everyone’s enthusiasm, the City Lord nodded with satisfaction and said, “Good, I have prepared three tasks. According to your degree of completion of these tasks, I will assign the administrative rights accordingly.”
Everyone received a system prompt after City Lord finished speaking.
You have received the quest “City Lord’s Trial”, first round, “Destroy the Marauders”, quest level A.
Quest Background: The once fallen marauders have once again gathered their forces. Through the use of so evil magic, they have managed to resurrect their leader, Wharton. To protect the citizens of Twilight City, I hope everyone can assemble and head over to the Dusk Canyon’s, ‘Dusk Lair’ and exterminate the scourge. The party that completes this quest first will get a special reward. The top fifteen guilds will be eligible for the next round of trials.
Quest Requirents: Wharton’s severed head (0/1)
Quest Limit: Maximum of three players in a team
“Oh, it turned out to be Wharton... Is that one boss enough for the whole lot of us to kill?” Wang Yu rubbed his hands with glee as he was heard the quest contents.
Wharton could be considered an old friend of Wang Yu. He had soloed this boss twice himself. However, ever since Quan Zhen Sect occupied the Dusk Canyon, Wharton had stopped spawning. There were at least twenty guild leaders in the hall at this mont. Could the Dusk Canyon actually spawn that many Wharton for them to fight?
Fearless answered, “I didn’t see Dusk Lair. It should just be a dungeon.”
“Oh, no wonder.” Wang Yu was taken aback. If it was a dungeon, everyone could fight on their own accord. There were no disputes and it was fair since only the top fifteen guilds will be able to advance.
At this mont, Captain Don’t Open Fire inquired, “Respected City Lord, can I ask the reason that I did not receive the quest?”
He replied, “You have already completed Immorial Covenant. That is sufficient testant to your abilities. I believe there is no need for you to participate in this round of trials.”
“Thank you for your kind consideration, City Lord.” Captain Don’t Open Fire offered his sincere thanks.
The other guilds were alard. Since Void Blade had already taken up one spot in the final fifteen guilds, the competition had once again grown more intense.
These players no longer wasted another mont as one by one they hurried out of the City Lord mansion.
