Chapter 57 - Accept a Side Quest

1537 Words
“What's with that man's aura? Why can't I feel any soul energy around his body at all? It's as if he was born in this world relying solely on his strong physique!” William muttered in confusion after seeing the tall and burly figure that was there. But the confusion didn't last long after hearing the callous tone of voice ringing inside his head. "Ding! Congratulations to the hosts for unlocking the side task feature!” [Task: Obtaining the respect of one of the descendants of the ancient barbarian race!] [Reward: Significant body physical strengthening and 2000 Evolution Points] [Failure/Rejection: Eliminates one of the host's randomly owned Battle Souls!] “Does the host wish to accept an assignment?” After William heard the magnetic, callous voice in his head, he subconsciously frowned and said, “Obtaining the respect of one of the descendants of the ancient barbarian race?” “This is the first time I've heard of the ancient barbarian race. Is the ancient barbarian race one of the ancient races that only live in the southern continent?” William was a little confused after hearing those words. Even in the memories of the original owner's previous time in the central continent, William had never heard of that race. But even though William knew nothing about the ancient barbarian race, all he could do was nod in agreement to accept the side task, "Of course I accept it!" "Ding! A side task has been added to the host status panel!” When William heard that, he opened his mouth and said, “System, open my status panel!” --- [Name]: William Pendragon [Age]: 17 (86) [Race]: Human [Cultivation]: Spirit Warrior Tier 9 (Advanced) [Evolution Coin]: 3,000 [Battle Soul]: Battle Soul Storage Slot (3/3) 1.

Breaking each other's peace between the three major families in the Feysac Kingdom in one year (66%) 2. Earn the loyalty of one of the descendants of the ancient barbarian race! (0%) - - - “If I complete this side task, doesn't that mean that I will be able to complete the main task of destroying the peace of the three great families in the Feysac Kingdom?” William lowered his head while thinking about the background of the man who had the descendants of the ancient barbarian race. Even though the man was just a slave who had been raised by the Rosch Family, but William knew how difficult it would be to earn the slave's trust in order to betray his own master. Especially a slave from one of the Great Families, usually they would be implanted with a forbidden talisman so as not to harm their own master. “William, what are you looking at? Is there someone on their way here?” At that moment, a voice interrupted William's thoughts. The voice came from Prince Alfred who was looking at him with curious eyes. William glanced at him for a while before speaking to him, “At our previous location, there was a group of people on their way. Looking at the movements coming from their lips, it seems that they are talking about the advanced level 9 Soul-Beast crystal cores that are in our hands!” Upon hearing those words, Prince Alfreed subconsciously looked around his surroundings to see if anyone would come here or not. Due to William's Eyes of Wrath being able to detect his surroundings in a 360-degree field of view, Prince Alfreed could only look closely at his surroundings. Often the direction William was staring at was not the direction he was actually looking, but somewhere else. Prince Alfreed had tried it himself at that time, He followed the direction William was looking at but still didn't find anything. But after a while, a Soul Beast had protruded from the ground. “What is in our hands? You mean the Soul-Beast crystal core we just obtained?” Prince Alfred turned his head very curiously. Not only him, even Chiaki who was behind William started to listen to him. "Yes, that's correct. They are heading towards us with one of them being a man named Albert Rosch!” William said in a serious tone as he looked at the two people in front of him. "Albert Rosch? Does that mean he is from one of the major families in the Feysac Kingdom?” Prince Alfred looked at William in surprise, it was like he never expected that they would face one of the big families, the Rosch Family. William nodded his head and said, “Yes, I think him is from the mainline of the Rosch Family. The man had blue hair with a sword-shaped soul artifact behind his back. Although I'm not too sure, just by looking at it I can tell that the sword-shaped soul artifact it carries isn't a low-grade artifact.” “Oh right! Does any of you two have any information about him?” William subconsciously turned to Prince Alfred who was beside him. Between the two of them, only Prince Alfred knew more about the outside world. That's why William hoped Prince Alfred could provide the information he knew. When Prince Alfred heard that, He lowered his head and said, “Well… Actually, I have heard from people talking about the Rosch Family! Many say that the Rosch Family often raises a slave from childhood to adulthood.” “Raising a slave?” After hearing those words, William couldn't help but frown. As someone who hails from the 21st century on planet Earth, William hates that sort of thing. The s*****y system was a terrible thing to him. That system of s*****y can restrict living beings from making full use of their potential. “Yes, have you also discovered that there is someone who has a strong physical body around that man? It's a slave raised by the Rosch Family in order to protect the future of their main lineage, you could say that slave will be used as a meat shield!” William's expression immediately turned cold upon hearing that. This method seemed to be able to increase battle efficiency and protect Albert Rosch's life from ambush, but to him, this method was the most stupid thing. If one can only rely on a slave to survive, doesn't that mean that the person's life value is not better than that of the slave? “Humph, such a person can never reach the pinnacle of life! Those who have a comfortable life will someday feel how bitter that comfort is.” William could only sneer in his heart. In the end, one can only understand the meaning of life after tasting death. William is one such example who understands how helpless one's heart can be in the face of death. Prince Alfreed subconsciously glanced at William who had a cold expression on his face, then He opened his mouth and asked, “So what should we do with Albert Rosch and his group?” “Of course I will be fighting all of them!” William said nonchalantly as he looked at the few people who were approaching here.
