Re: Player

The duke's mansion. In the main office, Wesker sat in front of Risa while they both had afternoon tea.

The hall was quite clean, with everything neatly arranged on the table and the drawer shelves around. There were a bunch of gold carvings on the wall depicting strange shapes.

On one side, there was an empty space from which Risa had removed the previous duke's portrait, making the room look a little odd in that aspect.

"Are they the ones you were waiting for? Your reason for being here?" Risa asked as she looked across the window at the 5 players looking around the garden with an excited look.

"Yup. What do you think about them?" Wesker asked with a rather curious smile. Surely she must have some interest in these other-worlders that spawned out of nowhere.

"My honest opinion? They are weak. I can see that even a normal civilian can kill them with ease. They might be immortal, but I don't know if they can even be useful or not. The only reason I am interested in them is because you are." Risa took a sip from her cup before turning back to Wesker.

"Is that so?" Wesker smiled as he nodded at her. Given how this world works, a weak immortal that can be killed by ordinary civilians wasn't worth compared to what this world has to offer.

I mean, even gods, angels and other beings that are near immortals exist here. Whether it's the Seven Sins, or the Saints, there are beings that are much more interesting than the players.

"Well. Now, to the main topic, I need you to send a letter to the main capital. I have been thinking of this for a while, but I should start doing as well," Wesker spoke, making Risa curious as she asked,

"What letter?"

"Letter for expansion. I want to take in the area on all the sides of the city, at least 5 more miles," Wesker smiled, while Risa raised her eyebrows at him.

"You do know that Border Town is only 5 miles from one side to another, right? You are more than doubling the city… and that's not counting the fact that you are talking about 2 kingdoms."

"Don't worry. You just need to send the letters. I will do the rest of the work." Wesker knew what he was doing.

There are a bunch of things that are defined in Zarraf. One of the things is the difference between a settlement, village, town and a city.

Settlement: Less than 50 people, less than 10 houses and no defined border.

Village: Less than 300 people, less than 50 houses and 2 miles in diameter.

Town: Less than 1000 people, less than 100 houses and 5 miles in diameter.

City: Less than 10,000 people, less than 1000 houses and 25 miles in diameter.

Other than that, there are a couple of things that set apart a village, town and city. The buildings and types. But we will get to that when we will explain things in detail.

Mirag City is a city that is a borderline town. But since in the main kingdom halls it was denoted as a city, it was called Mirag City.

As for Border Town, the current population was about 600-700 with 150 houses or something. Wesker's plan was to increase the area first, build some buildings and houses, and find people to live there before transforming this town into a city.

The end goal was to build an entire kingdom, but that was a long-term plan that would take years, if not decades.

"Sigh. If you say so. It's gonna be a heck more of a pain for me, though," Risa sighed as she looked at Wesker, before she recalled something,

"Not related, but news is that the previous duke is currently hiding in the neighboring town. His uncle is providing for him for the time being, and apparently he will come sometime in the future to reclaim his rightful position," Risa sipped on her tea as she looked at Wesker.

While it had been a pain in the ass, Risa worried little. After all, the person in front of her was far more dangerous than 100s of dukes combined.

This guy had a direct connection with the gods and goddesses, and even the elves and witches listened to him and above all… he was the brother of Adam, the Phantom.

Brothers of Salvation.

She had already seen what Morpheus was capable of, and the tales of Adam were famous in the entire kingdom. And based on what Wesker was capable of, he was in no way inferior to those two.

If the duke did try to claim this city back…

Risa chuckled, thinking about what would happen to him. Meanwhile, Wesker was all smiles hearing that the duke was coming back.

"He is? That's nice. I was really thinking that I am making you work more than what you should and you might need some rest from time to time as well."

Risa first looked at Wesker, before she sighed as she looked at Wesker,"well. That is also not a bad thing."

And then she smiled evilly at what Wesker was insinuating.

Wesker then talked about a couple more things regarding his plans with the town and the surrounding forest. Took about a couple of hours before they reached a conclusion. Wesker then bid her farewell and moved to the garden where the players were relaxing.

"How was it? You guys like it?" Wesker asked, looking at the players as they turned at him with a thankful gaze.

"Thank you, kind sir. May I know who you are?" Iamcute asked as she looked at Wesker with a grateful smile.

"I am just a normal worker here. I was on a trip to get some paperwork done. Would it be all right if I ask you guys to help me out with that?" Wesker asked with a polite tone, before giving them a small quest.

Their eyes lit up as they looked at the contents of the quest before immediately nodding at him. Nobody rejects a quest from a high leveled NPC. Why? Because they are chain quests that lead to greater quests in the future.

From that point, Wesker then took them towards 'Everyday Arrays', which was on the verge of being closed. It was already evening and Leena and Anna wanted to take a break for the day. If not for Wesker, they would have already closed the shop an hour ago.

Reaching the shop, Wesker found Black Scythe, Tinkerbella and Raven standing there. From their looks, they had just reached the shop as well.

Black Scythe moved forward towards Wesker, giving him the information that Nvida passed on before the quest was completed on their part.

Giving it a bit of a thought, Wesker then asked them to come with him too, along with the 5 players who were beside him.

It was about time Wesker began the 'main scenario' quest of Border Town that he prepared for the beta players. With this, the name of Border Town and 'Wesker' should become famous in the eyes of the players.
