The envy in many people’s eyes grew even stronger.
For the village chief to say this, there had to be a follow-up mission.
‘Even this good task was taken by God Slayer?’
Mike naturally did not know what the others were thinking.
He just nodded slightly, looked at the village chief, and asked, “Village chief, what do you need my help with?”
The village chief hesitated for a moment and his eyes swept around,
“There are too many people here, so it’s not convenient to talk about it. Please follow me into the house to talk.”
After saying that, the village chief turned around and entered the house behind him.
Mike smiled at the sound of that, then he followed the village chief into the house.
Meanwhile, the other players were already discussing in surprise.
“Oh my god, what kind of mission is this? It’s so mysterious!”
“Damn it, I’m so jealous. Why didn’t I receive this kind of mission?”
“You? In your dreams! Can you compare to God Slayer? He’s an expert!”

..
Even though people outside were discussing animatedly, none was it was audible in the house.
The house was equivalent to a small-scale dungeon. It was a special environment.
It was completely different from the outside.
After entering the house, the village chief sighed and turned around,
“Speaking of which, this matter is quite embarrassing. I don’t know who to ask for help. After thinking about it, I can only ask you, my lord.”
Mike just listened quietly without speaking.
The village chief continued,
“Actually… When my father was young, he had a lover. My mother didn’t know about this matter…”
The moment the village chief opened his mouth, Mike was slightly surprised as it turned out to be a scandal of this degree.
No wonder it had to be said in the house.
It would be strange if he could mention such a thing in public.
“Before my father died, he hoped that I could find that woman and hand over my father’s legacy to her.
“But, God Slayer, as you’ve seen.
“I’m already old, and the village can’t live without me.
“This should have been done a long time ago, but it has been delayed until now because of that wandering black bear…”
Hearing this, Mike nodded, indicating his understanding.
The village chief paused and continued,
“I’ve asked someone about it before. That woman opened a dyeing mill in the City of Light, her name is Tiffany.

“Are you willing to help me deliver my father’s legacy ?”
As soon as he said that, a blue dialog box appeared in front of Mike.
[Do you accept the quest, Lover?]

Mike naturally chose “Yes”.
There was no reason to not accept a blue quest.
Moreover, the City of Light was the human’s main city. Normally, once players reached level 10 and left the novice village, their immediate destination would be the City of Lights. It was a relatively easy quest for Mike.
Seeing that Mike had agreed to accept the mission, the village chief immediately said excitedly, “Thank you!”
“Thank you for your help, Lord God Slayer. In order to repay you, you should go to the blacksmith.
“Just say that I’ve asked you to collect something from him. He’ll understand.”
A mission where rewards were paid in advance was very rare, but it was also logical.
After all, it would be troublesome if the game wanted players to return to the novice village after they had went to the City of Light. Thus, there was no need for that.
After saying that, the village chief left the house.
He could not stay here forever. There were many players outside who were waiting to ask for a mission.

Mike also left the house and to look for the blacksmith.
Mike chose to ignore all the curious players outside.
He was very busy and had no time to care about these strangers.
..
The village wasn’t big. Soon, Mike arrived at the blacksmith shop.
Without waiting for Mike to speak, the blacksmith took the initiative to call out enthusiastically,
“Dear Lord God Slayer, do you need a handy weapon? I have a lot of good stuff here!”
Mike took out an iron sword from his bag and handed it to the blacksmith.
“Just help me repair this.”
“No problem, leave it to me.”
Ultimately, weapons had durability. As a veteran player, Mike naturally had the habit of looking for blacksmiths to repair weapons.
After the blacksmith received the iron sword, he used a hammer to knock it. Five seconds later, the iron sword was as good as new.
Then, the blacksmith took the initiative to say,
“Lord God Slayer, I have been looking for a suitable apprentice to learn my skills and forge weapons. Do you have a suitable candidate to recommend?”

Hearing this, Mike smiled slightly.
If it was someone else who came to the blacksmith’s shop, the blacksmith would only say, “Young adventurer, do you want to learn my forging skills?”
However, because of the blacksmith’s respectful attitude towards Mike, he avoided saying things such as accepting Mike as his disciple. He could only ask if Mike knew a suitable candidate.
Mike naturally understood the meaning behind the blacksmith’s words. He smiled and said,
“I’m quite interested in forging. Do you think I can learn?”
Upon receiving such an answer, the blacksmith was overjoyed. He nodded repeatedly,
“Of course you can. As long as you don’t mind, I will definitely teach you everything!
“However, I am currently lacking a few iron ores for forging. Can I trouble you to go to the Mining Cave on the East side of the village to retrieve ten iron ores?”
Mike smiled and nodded in agreement.
He had long wanted to complete this mission.
After all, he could learn three passive skills!
