Chapter 351 Mission Reward And The Scheming Empress Dowager
The Kerenza Capital City was bathed in sunlight.
Professionals who knew about the victory cheered and celebrated.
The ignorant commoners who were waiting for death thought that the crisis was over. They finally smiled and basked in the sunlight.
And some powerful professionals hidden in the dark observed that the city had gone back to its previous location, so they retreated. One of the professionals was a Human sage who was supposed to save William and his reinforcements.
However, they were not responsible for the domestic affairs of the capital city.
No matter how chaotic this country was, it was still a Human civil war.
As the Dark World was not involved, they would not intervene as long.
What about the tremors at the library?
Nobody was paying attention.
Many people could not figure out how the city had returned.
It could be said that both the demon hunters and the vast majority of people in this country were idiots.
That was the reason that this city descended into the Dark World.
Back at the library.
Grandmaster professionals were very powerful. As long as the collapsed boulders did not crush them, they could crawl out of more than two hundred meters of soil with a single breath.
Diablo and his companions had dug a tunnel, and they were busy looking for the buried William.
A voice appeared next to their ears.
"Hey, why are you so slow?"
Diablo, Burned Cinder, and many players turned around to look.
They saw William sitting on the ruins of the library, stretching his legs, and drinking wine as if he had been out for a long time.
Just before, his body had been covered with blood and injuries, but now they were healed.
The players could not help laughing. Prince William's head was bald and shiny.
William glanced at Fatty, who was shooting the live broadcast. The player felt a chill down a spine. He knew that William was indicating him to wise up and terminate the live broadcast.
Then William caressed his shiny head and said, "Let's go and claim our rewards."
"The King's dead. Can the promise be fulfilled?" Changli Jiuge asked.
William frowned and said, "Which is more important? Money or life? The Kerenza Grand Duchy has suffered a great crisis. The King is dead, and the little prince hasn't ascended the throne. It's the best time for the City of Dawn to improve diplomatic relations with Kerenza. The reward will neither be generous nor a pittance."
"The evidence was destroyed by you. What if other demon hunters vie with us for the rewards?" Diablo asked again. The collapse of the library had buried all the evidence.
Although it was not troublesome to dig it out, it was still difficult to find the evidence.
"I should have obtained a Magical Imaging Mirror to record the images," someone commented. But they had been occupied at that time, and there were no suitable mages to activate the magic skill.
"Take a look." William held out his hand that had two blood-red pearls…
"Gosh, are they eyes?" Everyone gasped in astonishment.
William mischievously smiled. "The distinctive eyes of the Blood Moon Dark Witch. Her pupils had been crescent-shaped since she was young. It was recorded in the annals of the Kerenza royalty.
"Although the Blood Moon Dark Witch was a scandal, someone in the royal family knew about the secret.
"Is this considered a piece of evidence? "
William put the two eyes in his hand and shook them as though he was shaking walnuts!
Everyone was speechless.
The players widened their eyes. Gosh, William was wicked.
Fancy William shaking the eyeballs of the witch!
Tsk, tsk!
William was the most handsome man in the Legendary continent, and his mind was truly extraordinary.
Someone wanted to ask if this pair of eyeballs would come to life, but the person hesitated and refrained from asking…
Whether the witch was going to resurrect or not, she could not escape from the clutches of William…
William did not explain much.
He came disguised as a demon hunter on this trip, but the fame of the Lord of Dawn kept the royal guards on their toes. They invited William into the palace with respect.
Kerenza was holding the ceremony for the ascension of the new King.
The new King was only a seven or eight-year-old prince, who had been casually picked for the ceremony.
It was necessary to pacify the commoners of Kerenza, especially after they had gone through a major crisis. They did not have time to conduct an elaborate ceremony. It would suffice to have some important nobles as witnesses.
However, the old King had not been buried yet…
William and his companions took a casual look.
Soon, a guard led them into a side hall and said, "Noble Empress Dowager, the savior of our royal city, Lord of Dawn, Prince Blackleaf has arrived."
"You're dismissed." An indifferent voice was heard in the hall.
"Please come in, Prince William. I wonder if you can let other distinguished guests rest first?"
She wanted to have a private chat with William.
William's companions had no choice. They were curious about the secrets William would make with the Empress Dowager.
When the door opened, the crowd curiously peeked inside. Gosh!
What a beautiful, charming, and graceful young woman!
Before the crowd had their fill, William quickly shut the door…
"Huh, I'm worried that Prince William will never return," Angry Fatty commented and sighed.
"Don't say that. Prince William is not even interested in the beautiful witch, what can she…" Xiao Ayin wanted to say something but stopped herself.
No one knew what Prince William preferred. What if he preferred an extremely famous and prestigious young woman?
Xiao Ayin was quite knowledgeable in this information age.
Everyone had seen what the old King looked like.
Tsk, tsk!
He looked like he had extreme kidney deficiency in his early twenties.
It was obvious he lacked the capability.
The Empress Dowager, who was the queen previously, was still young. It was natural that she was not satisfied.
The reputation of William was a rave in the southern region.
He had the title of the most handsome professional in the southern region. Many ignorant girls, lonely young women, and restless noble ladies had dreamed of meeting the Lord of Dawn one day.
"Greetings Prince William, you may call me Elena." She had long luscious black hair, a simple dress, a graceful demeanor, and a seductive undertone.
She sat in the exclusive chair of the former King while extending her hand to invite William to sit next to her.
William nodded. After all, he was not an ordinary Elf. He courteously nodded and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Is Prince William here for the bounty? In that case, please provide evidence that you were the one who averted the disaster in the royal city."
Elena had just finished speaking and suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled. "Of course, it's okay if Prince William can't show any pieces of evidence. After all, you are the only one who came for the bounty."
"Just that…" Elena said, biting her lip.
Even if the crisis had not been solved by William, she could make him the hero!
William squinted. His heart was still like water. He was neither surprised nor tempted.
The reason was that even though the young lady seemed to be seducing him, her affinity points did not increase.
So there was a conspiracy.
Her affinity points neither decreased nor increased. That was a problem!
William continued to maintain his etiquette and extended his left hand that was in a Thunder state. He brought out two red eyeballs and placed them on a platform.
She no longer had the amorous feelings as before. She waved her hands in terror and shouted with great fear, "Take them away, take them away! I believe you. Why didn't you destroy her completely?"
"If I had destroyed her, wouldn't there be no evidence?" William chuckled. NPCs were very likely to renege on their disbursement of rewards.
In his previous life, William had been swindled many times.
Now that he was the intimidating Lord of Dawn, if he could not produce any evidence, he could only argue his way through.
But she did not argue with William. Instead, she looked seductively at him …
Prince William was unwilling. He would never betray himself!
Elena saw William taking back the eyes of the witch. She did not want to waste any more time. She said in a low tone, "2,000 kg of mythril, 2,000kg of gold essence, 2,000 kg of orichalcum, 3 million gold coins and 50,000 magical stones. These were the promised terms. I'll get someone to hand them over to you."
"Excellent." William nodded and was about to leave.
Elena hesitated and said, "I'll like to invite the City of Dawn to deploy 30,000 soldiers to help maintain the security of the city and prevent other nobles from rebelling."
"At what price?" William raised his eyebrows.
"The terms shall be separately discussed."
"No problem." William nodded.
The Empress Dowager summoned a young girl of the same beauty, and they unreservedly gazed at each other. Then, the Empress Dowager said, "Xinlan, take Prince William to receive his bounty!"
William was shocked.
No wonder the Empress Dowager's affinity points did not increase.
She was a lesbian!
It was interesting.
Why did she try to seduce him?
William shook his head as though he had understood something.
Elena seemed to be a person with a great desire for power.
She had no interest in William.
But she was intrigued by the power he wielded!
Naturally, she did not mind sacrificing her body. She wanted to use William's power to help her stabilize the country and make it prosper. She would be the female King who was in control of the country, instead of being the powerless Empress Dowager!
William was enlightened. He stood up and blankly looked at Elena. He had no intention to keep a female Emperor.
He hurried out of the room, ignoring baseless speculation of other people. He quietly accessed the S level mission summary.
The reward was fantastic!
