章 276: The Mysterious Player          

On that evening, after Salathiir's defeat, a stunned silence lingered among everyone. The square and some of the buildings lay in ruins due to Salathiir's attack, but miraculously, no NPCs perished in the onslaught.

The square buzzed with chatter, uncertainty, and speculation.

"What happened back there?"

"I don't know."

"The guild leaders are currently investigating."

"Who do you think defeated that Demon Dragon?"

"I don't know."

"How come none of the NPCs were even hurt?"

"Apparently, they all hid in some kind of underground hideout in that old storage area."

"There's an underground hideout?"

"Yeah, built by the orphaned children."

"Why haven't the guild leaders told us about that before?"

"Because they didn't know either."

"How could something so crucial be beyond their knowledge?"

"They're currently investigating it right now."

"Hopefully, we will have our answers soon."
