War Online

Aster thought for a while and calculated, "yes, there must be around 25-30 Million if we consider the interests but…" Williard interrupted, "no buts, just do as I have ordered. Once step 2 is completed, we wouldn't even need the card."

As Aster wondered what's step 2, Williard left him and started walking towards the Administration office.

Meanwhile, at a Restaurant, Seraphim and five of them sat together enjoying the delicacies in the games even though their real bodies that were sleeping in Capsules don't feel it. Metatron suddenly screamed and spilled the Ice cream she was enjoying after hearing out Seraphim, "what? Are you serious?"

Seraphim replied, "You don't believe me? See this." He immediately showed the private message he received from Williard back when he posted the stats of the bow in the party channel.

"3 Million Credits, that's equivalent to 20 gold. It's the maximum price I'm willing to pay for the bow. Reply to me after you discuss with your friends. You only have one hour."

Drake gasped, "3 Million for a bow? I didn't know that seemingly no special ordinary guy is a rich guy. We can start a studio of our own with that money. What are you waiting for? Just sell it to him, right now." Metatron screamed attracting people's attention, "but that's bow was supposed to be mine."

Drake replied, "C'mon, can't you adjust with Gold equipment for now?" Metatron looked furious at him, "but that's an epic grade bow. The first-ever one in the City, who knows, might be the only one in the entire kingdom. Just look at the attack. It'll easily make me the Strongest Archer."

Seraphim then said, "Did you forget that there are two more others in the party who knew of the bow? They might have already passed the information to their guilds and they must have been searching for us." Then, Notebook spoke, "Guys, look at the forum. Imperial guild posted an unofficial bounty on fifty-two members of Scarlet Guild."

"I never heard of Scarlet Guild. Must be some no-name Guild that offended the top Guild somehow," as Metatron commented on that, Notebook showed them the screen he was watching and said, "Check whose name is in the list." "Isn't Time Traveler, the same rich guy who offered us 3 Million?" Drake asked Seraphim.

Seraphim nodded and replied, "It doesn't have anything to do with us though. Metatron, originally, I wanted you to have this bow. Seeing the amount, I can't help but hesitate. But still, I wanted your honest opinion on this. No matter what, I'll stand by your decision."

Metatron then replied, "say, all we need is 3 Million credits to start the studio, isn't it? Earlier we got 400,000 Credits from one gold grade armor. Isn't it possible to earn that much amount eventually? You should know that Epic grade equipment only has a 0.1% chance. And in that Epic bow, that's even lower.

Once I equip this bow, it'll carry me until level 100 or even more once I enhance it. There won't be needing another weapon for a while. I think I'll keep it and sell my gold grade bow to someone. Not as much as 3 million but we can get at least 300K from that, right?"

Seraphim nodded, "as I said, I'll stand by your decision. If you equip it, it's a boost for our team, either way."

Meanwhile, Williard entered the City Administration building while reading the message, Seraphim sent to him, rejecting his offer.

As soon she saw him, the Elf receptionist stood up from her seat and lightly bowed to him politely much to the surprise of other Elves before asking, "How do you need my assistance, Lord Time Traveler?"

Williard replied, "I need to employ a Guard. Tell me the details." The Elf replied, "Lord Time Traveler, can I confirm that you indeed became a Viscount." As he took out the Silver Nobility badge, she nodded and further said, "As a Viscount of the Llyne Kingdom, you can employ a total of 100 Guards providing that a maximum of 100 levels above you. Here are the prices."

There is only one type of NPC guards available right now, they are Guardians. He saw levels and their prices. Level 70 Guard's price starts from 1 gold, Level 100 Guard's price starts with 3 gold, and Level 130 level guard that's available starts from 6 gold, which is 80 Silver more than he has in his inventory. Then, he looked at her and said, "I only need one guard. His attributes need to be centered on Strength and vitality. My price is 5 Gold a week. Can you please recommend a person who is fit according to my requirements?"

The Elf named Milena looked at the profiles that are available while asking around other elves and fifteen minutes later, she showed him a paper. Upon touching it, he saw the Profile.

Name: Remia Sylvester

Level: 115

Strength: 200

Agility: 50

Vitality: 230

Endurance: 95

Knowing that she's more than Level 110 where Equipment stats will rise very higher than below 100 and not mention, 100-200 level NPC all wear Silver grade equipment, Williard felt assured that she would be great for the job. After paying 5 gold, he took out 10 Silver from the remaining 20 Silver and gave it to her, "it might not be much, consider it as a tip for helping me out, thank you, Melina."

She bowed and took the pouch containing 10 Silver enthusiastically. The only reason he did that because of her ability. Generally, normal Elves' eyes turn from green into red when they check a certain stat. But purple eyes are rare; they can see the hidden secrets too and the Goldeneyes are rarest, nothing can be hidden from them.

With this incident, Williard confirmed that she also knew about his class seeing her behavior towards him. After all, just being a Viscount won't bring that much respect from a public servant NPC. Williard thought he can employ her later after getting a hold in the city.

As Williard was waiting outside the City Administration building, he saw a Muscular 7-foot person in full Guardian Silver grade equipment stopped before him and took out the helmet revealing a woman's face. She bowed and introduced herself, "I'm Remia Sylvester, Lord Time Traveler."

Williard looked at her HP that's around 280K and asked her, "How much is your basic attack and defense?" She replied, "My attack is 27,124, and defense is 23,442." As Williard thought, "Well, it's less that I imagined but I guess it'll do," Remia further said, "I can effectively work 40 hours per day and will rest for the remaining 8 hours. I have four standard Guardian skills at the maximum level. One is…"

Williard stopped her, "it's alright. You don't need to explain them to me. Your attack and defense stat alone is enough for me to trust your strength. I only have one last question before we proceed for leveling. What level normal monster can you tank the group and hunt down effectively alone?"

Remia thought for a while and replied, "I guess around level 80 ones?" Williard nodded, "great then, let's get going, right now."
