Chapter 133: Test #1
“Skills behind my existence hail from exquisite lands that you can’t access yet, Master. I’m pleased that you think far into the future, though. Your theories about the soul grave-keeper sound reasonable, and you also plan to create the undead that will be his counter.
You will have to work hard, though. That old man has changed the undead into haters of all living beings. He sent them worldwide for years, changing people’s opinions about the undead.
Zombies, skeletons, and ghosts… They all lost their former purposes. They all just became hungry and never satiable monsters. They will kill and eat all living beings until someone kills them.
Worse, the soul grave-keeper started sending those undead chimeras known as the ghouls throughout the world, increasing terror all over the world,” Erin’s point was that the old man was too knowledgeable about the undead.
Alex would have to try his best with his quest. At worst, he would create an undead that would help the soul grave-keeper’s masterpiece cover his mistakes. At best, Alex’s undead would be the best counter.
That plan was risky, but Alex wasn’t deterred nor scared, “The journey is long. I will meet people who fought against the old man. I will also get more allies on my side… We aren’t alone in this, Erin.
And as you said, it’s the far future. But my chances for the undead quest have increased with you by my side,” Alex threw his remarkable smile.
A silence ensued.
For a reason, it was pretty sweet silence.
And then, Erin broke it, “Would you like to get your reward from Remia’s Quest, Master?”
“Huh?” Alex blinked his eyes, looking confused.
Erin explained, “You have a long quest list with people Elias Deathwill has used or lied to… And rewards for each quest get updated over time, depending on your progress with the kingdom’s former vassals.
Remia was a lady of high importance. You helped her, soothing the pain Elias Deathwill left behind in her heart… No, you erased that scar, and you made her happier than she ever has been.
That means you can get a strong reward from the treasury,” Erin said.
Alex laughed, “Remia became my friend the moment we faced that demon goblin together… Well, I indeed got to know about her because of the quest log, but I never conducted myself around her with the reward in mind. I never thought about those quests…
My father-in-law was selfish and wrong, so I naturally want to repay the people he hurt… But if you are speaking about reward, then I already got one. My friendship with Remia is the best reward I could’ve earned,” Alex nodded confidently.
Erin grinned, “If she only were here…”
Alex let out a weird laugh. It was pretty loud.
Erin shrugged as she had seen Alex’s relationship with the forest fairy already… Inwardly, she couldn’t understand him that well, though. He was already in a close relationship with other sisters.
And there was simply no way he would be with them all the time. Why would he refuse Remia if she genuinely liked him?
Erin had seen just a little of Alex. She couldn’t peek for too long, and she just lacked an understanding of his persona. She knew about it, so she kept her thoughts close to her heart, not letting Alex know about them anytime soon.
Alex asked, “Is the reward a sword?”
Erin replied, “It’s not.”
Alex sighed. He couldn’t bring the Dullahan King’s Sword with him as he planned to play like a crazy player. Of course, he didn’t prepare to die, but as Olivia had told him before, Alex should prioritize his fun more.
If his sacrifice for his friends helped them clear the dungeon they had their eyes on, Alex would go for it.
That was why he didn’t want to bring the Dullahan King’s Sword with him. It was already his weapon, but he had to be careful with it…
“I still think Master should hide the sword back in the treasury,” Erin said, knowing about the weapon’s full power.
Alex shook his head, “I got that sword because of my daughter. It will remain as my property until the end.”
Erin wanted to argue, but she stopped herself just in time. It was true that the treasury items belonged to Alex and Deathwill Sisters. However, he couldn’t just pick them up as he wished.
He needed constant development that would bring him to his peak and beyond.
Erin also knew the hidden mechanism through the treasury, so she couldn’t speak too much about it.
She just accepted Alex’s resolution, “The authority is legendary power, Master. Since Celia inherited it, she can become the queen.”
“That’s…” Alex was shocked about Erin’s knowledge.
Erin just chuckled, “In the past, the dullahan kingdom’s throne would be decided by the authority’s power. That power thinned within their blood throughout the years, eventually becoming non-existent. Other races had gone through the same process.
I fear that players’ coming here awakened more than just the system…” Erin became a little talkative since she lacked partners to talk to.
Alex was fine, but the time had been chasing him. He would soon have to meet his friends, and he wasn’t even in the outer world yet!
He apologized, “I must go.”
Erin stopped him, “If you need a sword, you can use all your hoarded points to get one from the treasury. It will suit your level and skills.”
“Are you serious?!” Alex smiled like a kid about to get his favorite toy.
Erin couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Yes. But are you sure you don’t want to get a reward from Remia’s quest?”
Alex explained, “I don’t have time now. I will pick it up later… As I said, my relationship with Remia is already the best reward I could’ve gotten. We will continue working together for both my castle and her tribe.”
Erin sighed, “Such a busy master! Well then! Here’s your sword.”
[You have lost all Deathwill Castle’s hoarded points.]
BANG!
Before Alex, a sword that looked like an ordinary sword appeared. It was just a steel sword, yet Alex felt a familiar aura oozing out. He was the only one to understand that power!
His excitement waned when he noticed the sword’s name.
[Test #1]
“Erin…” Alex made a comical with his lips pressed and cheeks lifted.
Erin burst out laughing. She laughed so much that doors shook!
“Check…. Haha! Check the stats! Haha! It’s a really strong weapon!” Erin replied with her hands wiping off her tears.
Alex squinted his eyes, picking up the sword.
[Test #1 Attack: 1350~~1569 Durability: 100/100]
[It’s a sword made out of Elias Deathwill’s immature sword mana and exquisite steel coming from Dragon’s Lair. He has created this weapon together with the dwarf genius, Reignar. It’s their first prototype.]
“Erin… Elias Deathwill could freely move between continents and other planes, right? We have never heard about dwarves in the outer world,” Alex asked what had been bugging him for a while.
Erin nodded, “Yes. That item is also in the treasury. At some point, you will be able to do the same, Master.”
Alex nodded gravely.
