Alantina Online: The Greatest Sword Mage Reborn As A Weak NPC

Chapter 54 Strange Occurrence



It did not take long for Vance to finally arrive at the Duke's estate. Under Alice and Sally's watchful eyes Vance yelled out:  "Great job! Thanks to you, we were able to bring the witnesses to safety! Please come and turn in your quest!"

"Yeah!" Everyone cheered. While there was not much action this time around, just being able to do an event quest like this so early in the game made the players happy. Plus, two silver was a lot of money for these players at this stage of the game.

Everyone quickly came to turn in their quests. Experience, favor, and silver were handed out. When Cynthia came to turn in her quest, Vance gave her a single gold coin instead of the 2 silver. Bonuses for performance were different from the normal quest reward and were an option to him through the quest system. He could give it to any player he wished, but he gave it to Cynthia due to how helpful she was. When she saw the gold coin, she stared at Vance in confusion. He smiled and said: "You earned a bonus for taking control of the others. Without your command, things would not have gone so smoothly."

"Thanks!" Cynthia smiled brightly as she held the gold coin in hand. While she was happy she got a gold coin which was very beneficial to her at this stage of the game, two girls were glaring at Vance, which he ignored.

After finishing giving out rewards Vance and the rest entered the Duke's estate. Alice's uncle, Henry, was already at the gate staring at Vance, looking for an explanation. "Care to explain?"

"Just think of it as me knowing how to deal with other worlders." Vance did not wish to explain since it was not something he could explain! "Anyway, these are your witnesses. It's up to you to get the report and have the king finally move like he should have done a long time ago."

"Vance, such words could get you arrested." Henry kindly reminded.

Vance only shrugged as he said: "Arrest me for being truthful. I already said it to his face and am still standing here."

Henry shook his head. He already knew this! He had to admit that Alice picked a good man. He was willing to stick up for her in the face of the king without backing down! "Alright, we will do what needs to be done. You just wait to hear the news. Do not leave the city for the next few days."

Vance nodded and let out a sigh of relief as he watched the guards and the man from the forest being taken away. "Let's go to the guild. I want to post a quest."

"A quest?" Alice asked curiously.

"At the guild, I will post a quest for 10 Flaxen Berries and 5 Soothing Grass." Since he can give away experience for free, he wanted to make use of this to make a bunch of potions. By doing this, he could easily sell them and make a lot of money. For each quest completion, he could make five health potions, and they would get a free 160 experience. He would make bank with little to no effort!

"What do you need these for?" Sally asked.

"Hehe… You will see when I get them." Vance replied mysteriously. Both girls frowned and pinched his sides, causing him to laugh.

Vance and the girls walked to the guild, which was a two story building near the exit of the city. It was at a convenient spot so that people did not need to go too far when turning in the quests that they had gotten.

His quest would be repeatable, so the people who took on the quest could quickly gain a few levels if they abused it. In fact, he was hoping people would abuse it. If they do abuse it, he can gain a lot of materials quickly without issue. With this thought in mind, he walked into the guild and up to the receptionist's desk.

"Can I help you?" The woman with huge breasts asked. They were so big, and her chair was so low she was able to use the desk in front of her as a means of holding them up. But Vance did not get a chance to enjoy the view as the girls beside him were pinching him like crazy.

"Yes, I would like to post a quest," Vance replied. Vance was expecting to fill out some kind of form to post the quest, but what happened next not only baffled the girls but Vance as well!

The receptionist reached down and went to pick up a form but paused and stared at Vance with a blank expression:  "Sure, you just need…. You are Vance, right? What request do you wish to post, and what are the rewards? Money or experience?"

Vance found the woman's voice to be kind of robotic, which confused him. He looked at Sally and Alice and saw their strange looks and knew it was not just him who was seeing this. But everyone else around them acted normal. Tilting his head, he decided to forget about it as he answered: "Just experience for the reward and I would like to have a repeatable quest for 10 flaxen berries and 5 soothing grass."

"Understood. The request will be posted now. You can pick up the materials at any guild location…." The receptionist finished speaking and then stared at Vance with the same blank expression. Vance did not know what to say, so he could only say thanks and walk to the board. When he did, he saw his request right away. No one had written anything nor filled out any forms, but his request had been posted on the board, or more like, it magically appeared there.

"Vance? What is going on?" Alice could not take it anymore. Things were just getting weird. First was the incident with the other worlders all coming up to him and him interacting with them as if it was normal. Then it was this here where the lady at the desk began acting strange, and now his request had appeared out of nowhere. All these strange occurrences would make anyone ask questions!
