Quest: Revenge

In the previous life, Wang Cai saw the result of the quest.

Those responsible for the deaths were arrested and executed for the death of the king's bastard son, but the Second Prince was punished for another crime, treason.

The general story of this was spread across the forums, but the full story was still a mystery and few talked about it.

That way, only those who were doing the quests would know what happened.

Players like Wang Cai only know what has been told by others.

"I don't know the details, but it seems the bastard son received something from the king, something none of the other three sons received. But that's just a rumor."

"I see…"

ding… ding…

"New information about the death of Winny's husband, the mad widow. Go back to her and deliver this new information."

"You received hidden information for one of the quest tasks, Investigation Job"

The system announced again about the quest.

This was the second time it was played.

This time, another warning came along.

"It's alright. I believe in this information. You can go." Wang Cai cut the ropes and released him.

"I have one more important piece of information. The Second Prince is conspiring with some noble houses of the Shorin Empire to gain more power. Because of this, some opposition nobles who support his two brothers are being killed."

"The king and queen won't do anything about it?"

"No. Because this is the competition to see who will inherit the throne."

ding… ding…

"You received hidden information for one of the quest tasks, Investigation Job"

(No wonder the Second Prince was beheaded for treason that day. So that was why. He conspired with a rival kingdom to get more power. No king would tolerate such a crime, even his son.) Wang Cai finally started to understand some things about the quest.

"Is there any other important information about the kingdom or the nobles?"

"Be careful with the First Prince and the Second Prince. They are not good people. If you want some support from the royal family, you better go to the First Princess or the Fourth Princess, they have a fairer character than the others in the royal family."

"Is there anything else?"

"No. That's the only information I have to offer."

"Okay. We will say goodbye here. You know how to get off this mountain, right?"

"Yea."

"So goodbye" Wang Cai disappeared when using the Shadow Step skill.

The NPC left after seeing where it was.

…

On the ground on the other side of the mountain…

"Miss Snow, thank you for your help" Wang Cai spoke to the hooded assassin who was sitting on the ground, while Khal lay unharmed, but he was passed out.

"..." Without having to say anything, she took out a Return Scroll and left.

"Wake up. Here are your thousand gold coins. It was really nice doing business with you." Wang Cai tossed a bag with the coins and walked away.

Khal had already woken up, but he didn't say anything and just grumbled before walking away. He was no longer the boss of the Mountain Bandits, but a random person that many want dead.

So he could only hide somewhere safe.

During his conversation with Khal, Wang Cai was also speaking to Snow Queen to ask for her help.

His task was simple.

Watch the movement in Pallet Town and the village on top of the mountain.

According to her, some city nobles and workers were arrested on suspicion of corruption for diverting supplies to be sold to other cities for cash. Not only that but also part of the mined ores were lost to be sold to others.

General Beno did a great job and arrested those involved in the scheme, but some fled.

Now, the person who was exposed as being wanted.

Nobles looking from afar started recruiting players to see who was the player who did this.

The name Bamboo Stick never appeared because Wang Cai never spoke his name. He just said he was an adventurer.

…

Wang Cai climbed the mountain again to get the secret documents hidden by Khal. The hiding place was in the mines, but very deep.

No one but him and his subordinate knew about it.

So when Wang Cai got there, he just had to dig to find the box.

Upon touching the item, he confirmed that they were real and stored everything in his inventory.

After that, he returned to the city, but the mansion of Winny, the mad widow.

The moon was already in the sky, so it was the best time to sneak into the mansion.

"What information do you have for me?" She understood that the only reason she had come back was this.

"Here they are" were the papers he had taken from the hiding place.

"..." Winny read the information, but couldn't believe it. It was much more sinister than she thought.

"Is this information true?"

"Yes. He confirmed it, but as a third party, he didn't participate, he just knew the person who did it"

"I see... That's enough for me. But will there be justice?" Winny understood that her enemies were people she couldn't deal with.

So she could only pray that they would be punished someday.

"Someday, justice will be served. Until then, you just have to live your life"

"I see… I'm glad to hear about it, but it's not enough. I don't have a lifetime of waiting"

ding… ding…

"Quest, Finding the culprit(2), has been completed"

"You leveled up!!! "

"You leveled up!!!"

"You received a skill book, Fly Riding"

Fly Riding(Passive)(Level 1)(Basic): This allows the user to use flying mounts.

"Quest: Revenge: Winny, the Mad Widow, has discovered the necessary information she needs, but her enemies were too strong for her to handle, so you have to deal with these enemies without others knowing."

Requirement: Quest: Searching for the culprit(2) Rank: SS

Reward: Winny, the mad widow, will be your worker

Failure: If you are discovered, the title of traitor will fall upon you. You will be wanted throughout the kingdom because of the attempt to assassinate the nobles.

(Fly Riding!!!! Flying is only allowed for players of level 250 and above, but I can already do the same being only at level 80. This is amazing!!!! These difficult quests and insane quests are helping me a lot.) Wang Cai was very happy.

But happiness doubled when he saw the reward of the next quest.

(An NPC as a reward!!!!!) He mentally screamed.

That was the height of rewards.

An NPC could do a lot of things for one player. Things like managing territory, properties, and a wide range of things.

(The only problem is that she doesn't know about the final enemy, the Second Prince... In the clues, she only talks about the nobles who helped him kill her husband. This will be very problematic… Unless I prove that the Second Prince is conspiring with another kingdom. I need to find more evidence and have a chance to have an audience with the king.) Wang Cai thought.

"I will do what I can to help, but it will be quite dangerous and risky to do so"

"I know that, that's why I offer my life in exchange"

"Fine. I'll see what I can do"

ding…

"Quest accepted"
