Angora felt as if he was on a roll of the dice recently.
The Unnamed Town was thriving, and while the number of residents didn't increase, it at least looked prosperous. He ignored the 'Novice Town' in the System's suggested naming list, and felt that he should consider giving his fief a name.
Be that as it may, there was no rush. Such trivialities could be left for later.
In fact, the Players had been moving to the Lancaster Hideout and the Frogmen Village for some time now. Without enough Players to help carry bricks, the town's development inevitably slowed.
That was until he succumbed to Vela's persuasion and built the 'outdoor spa'. When Vela unwittingly asked if there were any other facilities that could be built, and learned that the effect of the spa was to restore physical fatigue to a certain extent while granting buffs such as' skin moisture retention ',' skin refinement ', and' skin smoothness', Vela kept trying to persuade him to build the spa.
Unexpectedly, the Outdoor Spa proved to be very popular.
When the few female Players learned about it on the forums, almost all of them flocked back to the Unnamed Town. Even Leah the Warrior Princess, who appeared amiable and adorable but had the pride of royalty in her bones, would visit the town every few days, even going so far as to say that she was' discussing an important matter with the other lords of the God of Games'. My lady, you've already transferred your lordship's authority to Vanke!
There was no telling if the open-air spa's effect of attracting voyeurs had worked, but many male Players had returned as well, with the town instantly becoming the most popular of the three Players' strongholds.
He wasn't even worried about the vicious competition between the other two lords who were building the same building. If the Players didn't come to the Unnamed Town to soak in the hot springs, would they go to the sewers or the seas?
By the way, the open-air hot spring actually had the option of mixing baths. Unfortunately, there were no females in the pool yet. There were only countless sad male players and monkeys who were attracted by the hot spring, looking at each other speechlessly …
"What are you smiling about?"
While he was still immersed in the feeling of being the victor, his secretary, Miss Vela, called out to him and pulled him back.
The youth caught a sweet scent from his only NPC subordinate. If he remembered correctly, it should be one of the bathing agents that cost game coins to buy in the open-air spa.
This made the boy in puberty feel a little enchanting.
Still, Angora was a noble after all. He quickly composed himself and replied seriously, "I'm just thinking about which Player should be the new NPC …"
"Oh, is that so?" The girl's voice sounded a little cold.
"Yes. You've been too busy lately, so I wanted to let you relax a little. Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth it if you tire yourself out," Angora said without hesitation. "After all, you're the only one I can rely on."
A faint blush appeared on the girl's face. She gently nodded. "It's alright. I can still bear it."
"By the way, why are you here?" Angora asked curiously.
Before the forum was created, Vela was Angora's main bridge of communication with the Players. After all, he played a different game from the other Players, and they were not in the same boat. Vela would usually not come to the study at this time if there was nothing important.
"Oh, I almost forgot. A messenger has come to town. He says that he's from the Faust family, and has brought you a letter from your father. "
Vela remembered why she was here then. It was mainly because Angora's silly grin just now had such a huge impact that the girl forgot her mission.
"Father's …" Angora did a double take.
"Do you want me to chase him away?" Vela asked hesitantly.
"Why would you chase him away?" Angora appeared puzzled.
"That's right … Hmmm, it's not nice for me to say this, but you know what our town was like at the beginning … If it wasn't for the God of Games' grace, your life here would probably be worse than the peasants in the richer districts."
The girl was choosing her words carefully, trying hard to avoid Angora's minefield.
Angora immediately understood what she meant. Vela was under the impression that he was exiled to a place like this because he was not favored at home, which was why she had a bad impression of a messenger from the Faust family.
Angora had only one thing to tell the girl's concern.
'Not only am I not favored, I was even assassinated when I came here …'
Still, Angora felt that the assassination probably had nothing to do with his father. After all, his father had plenty of ways to kill him, and there was no need for him to go through all the trouble of asking for a title.
At first, Angora thought that his second brother, who had joined the Society of the Secret Eye, was trying to kill him since Edward had shown him the same intention in the video he brought back. But now that he thought about it, something didn't seem right.
If his second brother really had the authority to mobilize the Society of the Secret Eye, how could he have been killed by a mere Black Whip? Moreover, Black Whip had no reason to kill Angora after killing his second brother. Still, it was strange that he still intended to attack the town from his attitude.
As he pondered about things with nothing to do, Angora suddenly realized that everything would make sense if the person who wanted him dead was someone else, and his second brother was just that person's subordinate.
Since his second brother was just a lackey, Black Whip killed him in the vegetable field, and Black Whip knew that it was his second brother's superior who wanted him dead, which was why he had to continue his work after killing him …
"Wait, won't you be exposed once this messenger returns?!" Vela's eyes flashed fiercely. Border women were quite tough after all. "Do you want me to kill him?"
"No need. I was the one who sent the letter to my father and deliberately exposed that I'm still alive." Angora, however, smiled and comforted Vela. "After all, it's too troublesome to be wary of someone who's hiding somewhere. It's better to catch him by the tail when he's up to no good, and get rid of him directly!"
"But …" Vela's lively eyes were filled with worry.
