Talk of the Town

Town mayor David's furious roar reverberated through the entire town hall. Moving at a fast pace, David instantly walked in front of Jason, his fist stretching out towards his enemy. The other players were currently reveling in Jason's misfortune in taking the chance to challenge David’s strength. David was a level 15 elite and a single slap from him was enough to swat the current players to death. However, Jason was foolish to the degree of actually angering the mayor. Not the single person in the entire Redleaf town can save him now. He would be jailed until he was on his deathbed or he would be chased out of Redleaf town.

However, Jason’s surprisingly calm attitude puzzled the other players.

Was he already prepared for death? They thought to themselves. When David was about to hit Jason, the calm and compose Jason finally moved, like a hunter waiting for his prey, Jason immediately unsheathed his novice sword. With Swift motions, he used the sword to defend his body.

David's punch landed on the novice sword, sending Jason’s entire body flying. Just as Jason was about to fall, he flipped his body, landing steadily on the ground with the flexibility of a cat. However, his health points instantly decreased by eighty-four, and the novice sword in his grip trembled uncontrollably. The sword’s durability had even been reduced by one point; the weapon become useless once its durability dropped to zero. All the players drew in a cold breath. Seeing Jason as a troublemaker, they had initially thought of him as a mere rookie. However after seeing him in action, anybody with a discerning eye could tell he was a very skillful player, even if David had low physical damage as a mage, as a level 15 elite he could still kill any of the current players in a single strike, and yet, Jason was alive. He had used his weapon to block the attack, reducing the damage to a minimum.

He's clearly a mage, and yet his strength and speed are truly shocking. Jason silently marveled at David as he looked at the lamenting novice sword in his grip. Fortunately, he had added all his points to agility, increasing his attack speed to four, otherwise, he would surely be dead by now having to start his quest all over again.

“Die insect,” grunted David.

After failing his strike, David was further and raised. Suddenly, he ripped his clothes apart, revealing a body covered in pitch black fur. David had turned into a werewolf with sharp pangs. Every player was shocked at this moment. never would have thought that the mayor was an evil werewolf.

David was in front of Jason in an instance, raising his bright snowy claws and slashing them in Jason's heart. However, Jason gave him a cold grin even though he only had 16 Health Points for me.

David's claws suddenly stopped. They were only a few centimeters away from finishing Jason.

Unfortunately, David was hit by a level 25 guard’s charge, fainting for one second. Jason took this chance to quickly move away. Just when David was about to rush after Jason after becoming alert once again, he was interrupted by another guard. Both the guards were level 25 warriors. Although neither of them was a leads, the damage they caused was relatively high. A charge coupled with a normal attack; it had quickly taken 300 health points away from David. Two guards had taken away a total of 600 Health Points, causing David's health points to fall to 1700 in an instant. As expected of the guards their attack power sure is high. Jason chuckled as he looked at David’s sorry state.

Guards were the protectors of the town. They were specialized in protecting the town civilians and resisting the invasion of evil beings. At this moment, the mayor had transformed into a werewolf, proving that he was not a human but a spy for the evil powers. The guards would naturally not let him go, killing him as if he were no different than the monsters in the wild.

On the surface, the conditions of Sherlock’s requests seemed hard, in reality, however, players only needed to actively attack the mayor, subsequently surviving the mayor's first strike, afterwards was just a smooth sailing. The guards would handle the rest after the mayor revealed his true self.

In Jason's previous life, the reason this unique quest could shock the entire White River City because the town mayor was a spy for the evil forces. This quest had allowed players to have a new perspective towards Grand domain. The non-playing characters were not entirely reliable as they might be one of the evil forces in disguise. Simultaneously, the player who completed the quest had shocked everyone with his method of beating the town mayor. The player had racked his brain to complete the quest and naturally, he wanted to show off his efforts by revealing his strategy.

Now though, it was being taken advantage of by Jason. As such, David was now being asked by the two guards.

Although the damage dealt by the guards was very high. David's targeted never shifted away from Jason. He continuously aimed to kill Jason but unfortunately for him, the two guards stuck to him like glue. One of the guards used Bone Crusher while the other used strikes causing David's movements to plummet. Fortunately, Jason was able to escape death with his five points of movement speed just like that, David’s 2000 health points were nearly depleted.

When the other players saw David die, many of them started becoming restless. They wanted to land the last strike on the mayor. They did not understand why the guards were attacking David instead of Jason, but a town mayor who is also a level 15 elite, if he died, he would definitely drop some great items.

Hiding someplace far away, Jason smiled in disdain in regards to their thoughts. Was the town mayor someone they could plan to attack or kill although the mayor had become one of the evil forces, this was only a part of the quest’s plot. In the eyes of the other players. The mayor was still in their friendly state. It was not possible to attack the mayor at all. When David only had 100 health points remaining all the other players started moving. All of them simultaneously rushed towards town mayor David, all of them wanted to give the final strike snatching away the dropped item.

Seeing the David was only a hit away from death's door, Jason too dash out. Unfortunately, David still died under the guards’ blade in the end. Not a single one of the players was able to strike David. Although Jason could attack, he did not want to risk it. After the mayor's death, he immediately took away the mayor's insignia and disappeared into the crowd. Non-playing characters within the city would not yield any experience or lieu of skill. Jason wouldn't even be able to obtain the mayor's insignia were it not for a quest.

“What rubbish the system's bugged. Why can I attack the mayor?”

“ I want to complain. Why didn't the mayor drop anything after his death?”

Some of the rookie players complained resentfully a level 15 elite had died before their eyes yet they did not obtain a single advantage. They simply could not accept it.

“Moron, don't you know you have a friendly relationship with the non-playing character? Players can't attack a non-playing character with a friendly relationship. If you don't even have such common knowledge, why bother playing the grand domain?

After ridiculing the rookies, the competent players searched for Jason. A player who could kill the town mayor in such a way was definitely an expert, someone they should associated with. However, they could not spot Jason even after looking for him for a long time. They also did not know his name, they felt helpless.

Meanwhile, news of town mayor David's death spread throughout Redleaf town, creating a sensation amongst all the players. In this phase of the game where players were still worrying about over grinding monsters for leveling up, the leader of a town was toy to death so simply, this was just too mind blowing. Not even 30 minutes after grand domains opening a newest thread appeared on the official site’s forums.

This news thread instantly caused a sensation amongst the players. It only took a moment for the number of clicks to the page to go past 10 million. Everyone became interested in this mysterious swordsman. Unfortunately, they could not contact the person since nobody knew his name. Walking away from the mall, Jason smiled.
