Rioneed: VRMMORPG

Chapter 21: Meeting city governor part 2

Ibro was not worried about this old man not fulfilling his promise. He knew very well that someone in a high position in the city would never cheat him.

This old man might have the position of library head in the city, which was a high-ranking position that a wizard did not easily get.

Ibro then fulfilled his promise and told them everything the game had told him in detail.

Ibro also used the many System Prompts from the game record, to be sure that he had not forgotten any part. During his talk, the faces of those around him changed slightly.

But in general, they were still very serious. After Ibro finished his speech, the governor told him:

"Thank you very much, Ibro. What you just said is very important to us. Unfortunately, I can't currently tell you how important you are to us and the world of Apidon.

But I want you to know that you are a very important person. So I have two requirements that I do not know if you will agree to them but they are very important to us."

Ibro was in a very good mood so he answered without thinking:

"What are these two requirements?"

"The first request is that while you are in our world; please do not leave the vicinity of my city.

I do not mean restricting your movement, but I'm afraid about you, as your level is very weak and you will be exposed to many risks without a doubt."

Suspicion appeared on Ibro face, who said:

"Living in the city is a good thing of course, but I cannot promise to stay here forever.

I know my strength is weak but in the future, I will be stronger. Then I will have to get out of the city and roam the world around me."

"I totally agree with you. So I ask that you do not leave the city until you become more powerful. It is a reasonable and fair request."

He thought deeply about the Roliv world. His words were logical enough to cause suspicion, but he found no concrete doubt among those phrases. He pushed his doubts aside and then said:

"Well, I promise you."

When he promised to do so, a feeling of suspicion arose suddenly when he said his promise so he added rapidly:

"But if any important things compel me to leave, I will leave."

As soon as Ibro finished his words, he noticed the apparent changes in the faces of those in front of him including Roliv. They knew more than what they had told him.

Could they be sure about the occurrence of something that would force him to leave the city and threaten his life? Did this have anything to do with his speech with the Rioneed game? What was so special about it?

It was a simple fact that every player like him would interact with Rioneed games in their worlds. What was the difference between the happening of this in their worlds and the happening of this in Apidon?

After the Roliv exchanged silent looks with those around him, he suggested:

"If something like that happens then you have to promise me to come seeking help from me before going out.  Then I will make you leave the city with a strong guard capable of protecting you."

If there was a gram of doubt in it, it was now a ton! Ibro did not speak, but only nodded his head in approval. He was now sure he would be forced to go through something very dangerous shortly!

Roliv sighed in relief, and then said:

"My second request is that when you return to your world, I ask you not to die there more than ten times during one game year."

Ibro felt his body so cold, and then said with a dry throat:

"You scare me, sir."

Roliv showed him a friendly smile, saying:

"Don't worry Ibro, I do not intend to harm you but protect you. You are very important to me and those around me and those behind us. Just promise me not to die in one game a year more than ten times."

"Well, I promise you, sir."

This time Roliv did not speak, but rather gave Ibro a deep and serious look, to stress more about his two requests. As for Ibro, he was certain that there was nothing that might threaten his life in the Heptian domain.

Perhaps if he tried to go to other domains then the situation would change completely. He did not intend to do so now even when he got the scrolls for major cities of foreign domains.

He was still at the fifteenth level in his world, so he had a long journey to make before he risked the invasion of neighboring domains.

His invasion of neighboring domains was a step that he must take if he wanted to push the Heptian players into the game early.

"These are the return scrolls for all of your major domain cities in your world. You are from a domain called Hept, right?"

"Yes, sir."

"These are the scrolls of all your domain cities."

Ibro grabbed the scrolls to find the names of the most famous cities all over the world in his past like Los Angeles, Jerusalem, Shanghai, Moscow, and others.

What astonished him was that the description of these scrolls had a strange time number.

Every scroll of them was numbered with a date of more than a hundred million years. What did this number mean? He was about to ask Roliv if it had not been preceded by the latter by saying:

"Don't ask me anything, I cannot answer you at the moment."

This time, he suffered from what Oya suffered from when she talked to him.

"When will you tell me everything?"

"I will tell you everything when you become more powerful. When you exceed the 150 level in your world and our world then I will tell you everything I know."

"One hundred fifty?"

Ibro was shocked. This level was considered a long-awaited dream. Perhaps if he stayed in the game for ten years, he could reach that level. 

In the past, the highest player did not exceed the 145 level. When Roliv noticed the apparent shock on Ibro face, he vaguely said:

"Don't worry about that part. Later on, you will know that you will rise to the level that you would never expect. Perhaps within three years to five years maximum, you will achieve this level."

"Three to five years?! This is impossible, sir."

"I told you not to worry. You will understand the meaning of my words later."

"Okay, sir."

Although he did not trust his words, he decided not to argue with him. He then considered his next step, would he stay in the city, or would he return home?

When he thought about his stay in this place under the supervision of Roliv and his close associates, he completely removed this assumption from his mind.

He had to go back to his world. He had played the game for a long time and he needed to have some rest. He needed to go back to help Oya improve her level and skills.

Ibro looked at Roliv after hiding the scrolls except for the Ihnasia city return scroll. He held the scroll firmly in his hands and said:

"I will now leave MR. Governor. There are a lot of things in my world that I should take care of."

"I wished you could stay with us for several months, Ibro."

"Several months! I can't do that! There are a lot of things I have to do. I can't leave for this long, especially in such a difficult period.

I would very much like to stay here and learn more about this world. But priorities always precede desires. So I have to go back."

Roliv fell silent a little and then said seriously:

"I don't want to repeat my words again. Keep your life safe as much as possible, son."

"Don't worry, sir. My life can't be easily taken by anyone in my world."

Roliv seemed to be about to say something and then didn't. This simple gag from him did not miss Ibro, who felt that the danger was awaiting him there in his world.

He knew Rioneed very well, if there was any danger then it would come from outside Rioneed.

That meant that this danger lied here and would follow him to his world. That theory made a lot of sense especially when he remembered the reactions of Roliv. This danger is here and Roliv knew it very well.

This theory explained many things except he didn't know what that danger was like.

Could he face it? Would it threaten his real life as well? This new logical theory changed the entire equation. If this were true, his life would be in danger!

"Always be safe Ibro. Unfortunately, I can't help you when you return to your world. You are all alone. You should understand this point seriously."

Ibro was very grateful to Roliv's obvious concern. This old man was really afraid of him and was trying his best to protect him. Ibro said in gratitude:

"I understand that MR. Governor."

"I hope so, Ibro. I wish you all good luck and I will be waiting for your return."

"Don't worry sir; I will come stronger next time."
