"Is this the main city of the Oradia Kingdom, Bayarema?" The five of them stood at the entrance of Bayarema's teleportation point, looking at the city that was completely different from Blessed City. This was a city with an exotic style. It looked like a city in Central Asia in the real world. Most of the buildings in the city were white, and it was quite large. However, most of the buildings were low-rise. At a glance, there was only one building that looked like a palace that was relatively tall. The rest were single-story houses, so the ground was very large.
The NPCs on the streets were very normal. Basically, they didn't look any different from the NPCs in Blessed City. However, there were very few people on the streets during the day. After standing for a while, they saw two patrol teams walking around. It felt like the city was under martial law.
"What a small country. There's only one city with a teleportation point in the entire country," Li Huailin said. Li Huailin said. When he was at the teleportation point, he saw that there was only one teleportation point in the entire Oradia Kingdom. It was the main city of Bayarema, and its territory was quite small. Let alone a human kingdom, even Li Huailin's fief was two or three times larger than his own kingdom.
"Anyway, let's go find that Imperial Tutor Kusak first," Red Moon said after thinking for a moment. "But where is he?"
"The Imperial Tutor is usually in the palace," Hongyan said as she drank some water.
"Now that the Devil Beast has taken control of the king, we can't go to the palace," the Jade Emperor said. The Summoning Jade Emperor said, "Moreover, that State Teacher Kusak is still pretending to be Nemoya's people. If we go find him now, he might be exposed, so we should sneak into his home and wait for him."
"But we don't know where his house is," Hongyan said as she drank some water.
"Just ask. Since he's the Imperial Tutor, it should be easy," the Jade Emperor said.
"Yeah, that's true." Red Moon nodded. She then pointed to a patrol team next to her and said, "Just ask the soldiers."
The five of them walked over and stopped in front of the patrol team.
"Who are you?" the city guards asked nervously.
"We are adventurers who came here for an adventure. We want to ask you some questions," Red Moon replied.
"Oh, adventurers." The city guard nodded. "You are the first group of adventurers to come here. I'm sorry, there have been a lot of incidents in the city recently, so we are a little nervous."
"Frequent accidents? May I ask what it is about? "Red Moon asked.
"Recently, there have been a lot of deaths, and the way they died was very horrible. It felt like they had been sucked dry. We didn't pay much attention to it before, but it happened more and more frequently recently, so the city guards are getting nervous," the captain explained.
"Mysterious deaths?" The five of them looked at each other and communicated with their eyes, understanding each other's meaning.
"Oh, that's right. His Royal Highness has already issued a mission to find the murderer. If you want to accept it, you can go to the entrance of the Mercenary Union branch here to receive it. The Mercenary Union is right here. Just keep walking straight and turn right at the intersection, and you'll see it." The captain pointed in a direction and spoke in a friendly tone.
"Oh, no, we're not here to accept a mission. We have something to discuss with your country's State Preceptor, John Cusack. We want to ask you where his house is?" Red Moon asked.
"What? John Cusack?" When the group heard John Cusack's name, their expressions changed. The captain immediately retreated, and all the soldiers immediately raised their spears and pointed them at the five of them. "Are you guys rebels?"
"F * ck!" Li Huailin was stunned. Why did they suddenly change?
"We're not rebels. We're just looking for State Preceptor John Cusack," Red Moon immediately said.
"State Preceptor John Cusack is a rebel. You guys are looking for him. Aren't you in cahoots with him?" the captain immediately said.
"Crap, it seems that Nemoya has already discovered the State Preceptor," the Summoning Jade Emperor said.
"His Royal Highness has ordered that everyone related to John Cusack be arrested. Men, arrest them all," the captain said with a wave of his hand.
"What do we do?" Red Moon asked. "These city guards should be at least Level 50 or 60. Their Attributes are very high. There are more than ten of them here. It seems that we can't beat them."
"Wait." Li Huailin immediately jumped out. "You guys dare to attack me? Do you know who I am? "
"Eh?" The group of city guards looked to their left and right. Who knew who he was? The captain took a step forward and asked, "Who are you?"
"This humble one is the Duke of St. Felipe Empire, Ruolin. Try and hit me, and I'll summon my entire army to slaughter your country. Do you believe me?" Li Huailin said as he pointed at himself.
"Nani?" Hearing this terrifying name, all the city guards were instantly frightened. Wasn't Ruolin the Duke of Aquitaine from the neighboring St. Felipe Empire? This fellow was truly too terrifying. He was practically ruthless. Last time, the elves did not agree to his request. In the end, the Silverwind Guards of 100,000 were all slaughtered. Oradia was a small country with a population of only 200,000 or so. Slaughtering a whole country was definitely not just for show.
"We … We don't know any Duke of Aquitaine. What proof do you have to prove that you are?" Although the captain was afraid, he still plucked up his courage and asked.
"If you can't recognize me, then find someone you know. Do you still need me to teach you? If you still don't know me, then get your king to come pay his respects to me. If no one in the whole country really knows me, then you all deserve to be slaughtered by me. " Li Huailin said. Asking the king to come pay his respects was not just for show. Oradia was originally a dependent country of St. Felipe Empire. Even if Li Huailin directly killed the king here, it would only be a diplomatic issue. Maybe Li Huailin would be punished, but nothing major would happen.
"Hey, hey, what do you want? The demon beasts only kill some civilians, and you're slaughtering a whole country. You're even more dangerous than the demon beasts." The summoning Jade Emperor pulled Li Huailin and whispered.
"I'm just saying. I didn't really say I'm going to slaughter them." Li Huailin said, "Look, if I show my identity, they can take us to the palace. Let's go check out the situation first and see how the king is doing. At the same time, see if we can encounter any demon beasts. If they attack us directly, then we don't even need to find the Imperial Advisor."
"That makes sense." The summoning Jade Emperor thought about it and nodded. "That's good too."
"Boss, what do we do?" The guards behind the captain were a little scared. If this really was the Duke of Aquitaine, then something big was going to happen. It was really possible for him to slaughter a whole country. "I heard that the Duke of Aquitaine is famous for his brutality. If this is really … what do we do?"
"You … you wait. I'll go report and find someone right away." The captain was also uncertain. He quickly reported and found someone he knew to come and identify the person first.
The captain was about to go find someone after he finished speaking, but just as he was about to turn around, something suddenly happened. A white tennis ball-sized object was suddenly thrown in the middle of everyone. Before anyone could react, the object suddenly exploded and a large amount of white smoke came out.
"F * ck! What's going on? " Everyone was stunned. Before they could figure out what was going on, a figure suddenly rushed in front of them. She grabbed Li Huailin's hand and shouted to the five of them, "Quick, over here. Follow me."
There was smoke all around them, and visibility was very low. The city guards opposite them shouted blindly, but they couldn't find anyone. Li Huailin, whose hand was being pulled, looked up. It was an NPC, and it was a female. She looked to be in her twenties and was quite pretty. However, she was wrapped in a black robe, and her attire was somewhat similar to the NPC Milani, who had previously issued the quest. Her name was displayed above her head, Cassanna Cusack.
"What do we do?" Li Huailin didn't move. He turned around and asked the girls behind him, "It seems to be a storyline.
Let's follow it first, "the summoning Jade Emperor said.
"Let's go take a look first." Red Moon said. This AA-ranked Hidden Quest was different from ordinary quests. Compared to Li Huailin's suggestion of going straight to the palace, it was better to follow the storyline.
"Hurry up!" Kassanna pulled Li Huailin again. This time, Li Huailin directly followed her, and the others immediately followed behind. The six of them quickly left, and then went through the alley next to them.
"Boss! They're running away! "The city guard's voice came from behind.
"Damn it, it's definitely an imposter. Duke of Aquitaine? He's definitely stalling for time for his companions to come and save him. I f * cking fell for such a trick. Chase! Everyone, chase after them!" The captain's angry voice could be heard.
They didn't know if it was because of the storyline, but the other party's direction was completely wrong. Although they didn't poke their heads out to look, they could hear the footsteps and shouts getting further and further away. They must have gone somewhere else.
"Alright, it should be fine now." Hearing the sound getting further away, Kassanna let out a sigh of relief. "Who are you guys? Are you my father's friends?"
"Your father?" Li Huailin was stunned.
"My father is State Preceptor John Cusack. I'm his daughter, Kassanna Cusack. I heard you guys asking about my father, so I came to save you," Kassanna said.
"You're John Cusack's daughter?" Red Moon came out and said, "We're not your father's friends, but a person called Milani asked us to find John Cusack. He said he knew how to destroy the monster Nemean, so we came. Where is your father now?"
"Are you warriors who came to destroy Nemean? That's great, this country can finally be saved. " But as soon as she said this, Kassanna's face suddenly darkened. "But you guys came a little too late. Yesterday, my father was discovered by that monster. Now the king has announced that our Cusack family has rebelled. My father has been put on death row and will be executed tomorrow."
"Huh?" The five of them were shocked.
