Chapter 367: A puppet king



Quest: Save Sarah Mole

Description: Sarah Mole, a resident of Norwich was dragged away by the Dragon Lord Qelrit along with several villagers for mining. Bring back Sarah to her children.

Reward: Lucius's favorability points +50

Accept?

Usually, Wil wouldn't bother to do a useless quest. However, aiming to make this mythic grade beast his battle companion, Wil accepted the quest right away. Not to mention, he was also happy at the moment as he finally entered the dragon island.

"Sure. I will give you my word. Even if I have to topple this entire island, I will save your mother from that Qelrit." Wil's words made the boy prostrate on the floor, "thank you."

Lucius doesn't know whether Wil can do it or not. Still, he was thankful that someone accepted his request.

His father along with other villagers knelt before the Region Lord and begged him, but since the culprit was the Dragon Lord Qelrit, their pleas went ignored.

Now that he heard someone is willing to do the job, Lucius became hopeful.

*Ding! You accepted the quest, Save Sarah Mole.

*Ding! Favorability points with Lucius increased by 10.

*Ding! You receive a hidden quest.

"Huh!" Wil didn't expect a hidden quest of the things from this simple quest. He clicked on it, looking curious.

Quest: Kill the Dragon Lord Qelrit.

Description: After the disappearance of the Dragon Lord Egan, his son, Qelrit Draconus took control of Bexley and became the region lord. Kill the Dragonlord Qelrit and liberate all the slaves.

Reward: 100 million EXP, 10 thousand gold coins, 1000 fame points, and random legendary grade dragon egg.

Accept?

"Now, this is one hefty reward." Wil couldn't help but think the opponent might be a level-500 boss for the system to give a generous reward.

However, the problem here is that none of the rewards is that appealing to him.

Wil wasn't in need of experience as his level is at the limit.

He doesn't need gold coins as he was rich enough to buy them at any time.

He doesn't need fame points as he was a king.

And certainly, he doesn't need a legendary grade dragon egg as he had a mythic grade beast and four legendary+ grade beasts with him.

The reward is as useless as the previous quest. Moreover, killing Qelrit brings trouble with the Dragon King as they are father and son. Then, perhaps, he would have to kill the Dragon King too. "Hmm?"

Suddenly, a thought emerged in his mind and he glanced at Lucius. "That's right. He's a direct descendant of the royal family. Rather than making him my battle companion, he can be a puppet king."

Upon forming a plan, Wil controlled his expression and told the young boy that along with his mother, the other villagers will also return.

*Ding! You accepted the hidden quest.

Lucius was taken aback by Wil's announcement. Since he knew that defeating a Dragon Lord isn't possible, he thought Wil might be of a highborn in the Eucliffe clan and have ties with the royal family.

Such a thought made him shiver as he addressed him as mister earlier.

Before he gets to apologize to Wil, the latter passed him and walked towards the door, and exited the house.

With his Angelic wings still wet, Wil had no choice but to summon the nimbus cloud to travel to his first destination, the Imperial city.

First, he needs citizenship, the rest is secondary…

Three thousand meters above the surface, sitting on the comfortable sponge cloud, Wil was enjoying the beautiful view of the island.

If not for its beauty, he would have summoned the flying Pegasus and flew towards the Imperial city right away. Not to mention, he wasn't in a hurry to finish the quest and he had already accomplished his tiny goal of finishing the Dragon Island.

He crossed the hills, various towns & cities and finally stopped nearby a city called Ozreigh after traveling for 6 hours.

Because of the artificial sun created by the earliest dragons, the sun will never in this world.

However, in the real world, it was already dark. As Wil need to need to return to the hotel and prepare to leave for his home, he decided to log out here.

"Well, first, let's go to a safe place and log out." Since the Imperial city is still four thousand kilometers away, Wil decided to get into the city which is a safe zone before logging out.

Too bad that he didn't have a human transformation to hide his Angelic wings and blend in the crowd. So, after entering the capital city on foot, his beautiful pure white wings attracted the attention of several people.

Like Lucius, the civilians as well as the low-level city guards also thought he was from the clan of Eucliffe.

With his level being 300, the guards thought he was a noble. So, none of them dare to offend him and let him enter the city without any questioning.

Of course, it didn't stop them from sending a report to their captain about the sight of Wil because of his high level. After all, an unknown person of such level visiting a small tier city like Ozreigh is something that needs the attention of even the city lord, much less their captain.

Wil didn't know about it. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care about it. 

Ignoring the gazes of the passersby, Wil casually roamed the streets for a while like a tourist before logging out.

***

"Big brother, you are back." He was greeted by Mia as soon as he entered the terminal.

After logging out from the game, instead of getting back to the hotel, he called Silver and told him to inform his family that they are going to return to Leafway city and he will meet them directly at the airport. 

After freshening up at the HQ and change into casual clothes, he entered the lift. However, who could have expected that as soon as he got on the 50th floor to change the elevator that will go to the ground floor, he would meet Oishi Takanori and Jordon on the way.

The sudden encounter with the new CEO that he appointed made Wil stay at the company for another ten minutes.

Wil thought he would just have a cup of coffee as a formality and leave the place.

However, Oishi requested an hour of time as he prepared a presentation that was filled with ideas.

The first thing he suggested for Scarlet Finance is to partner up with a bank and issue an EMI Network card, Health EMI card, and a credit card.

Along with usual benefits, he further said that the customers can avail the discounts of the purchase of the services of the company and its subsidiaries.

Other suggestions include making a deal with the startup hubs, expanding Logistics Company, buying so and so companies, accepting cryptocurrency as payment, etc…

After hearing everything, Wil told him that he will consider it and took the flash drive with him as he left the company with his assigned bodyguards.

Even though he was late by an hour, he didn't expect his family would already arrive at the airport before him. Everyone has this pleasant expression on their faces which made wonder whether they are that happy to return to their home.

It's the same for him whether it's Yarlford, Ecrin, Leafway, or Ares. So, he wondered how that would feel…
