章節 129: Capture the West Desert (I)
I died after I cleared the quest. Many might see it as pathetic as I didn't get to hold out the queen's last attack and died but there is nothing wrong with that, especially that I have received blessings after I died many times. I thought I would have to wait out for a few minutes before I can spawn back and return to meet Queen Tanya but then a light pierces the dimension of the dead where players will be temporarily stored while they are waiting for the cooldown of their character's death. This only happens if someone from the outside like your teammate casts a revival spell or someone else used an item. If this light appears here, that means I am being pulled out from the area of the dead and in the process of being revived.
"I don't think there is any player who will revive me yet. I am quite sure many of the other Pioneers are exploring the Sandurk region or have yet to log back in. Harmless Sparrow and Dolly are also not possible as they are not capable of entering the castle and personally revive me. Also, the two of them have no ability to revive me as they are not even a Cleric or a Holy Knight. So who is the one reviving me right now?" I muttered as I waited for the light to engulf the surroundings.
I blinked again after the blinding light engulfs the whole place and realized I was back in the Palace interior. And as expected, the wrecked place before while we are fighting are already fixed back to their respective places without any signs that someone has initiated a fight here and someone died.
Now that I am revived, I looked around and only saw the two guards and Queen Tanya who is now back to her throne while her attendants are attending her.
"Your majesty, did you just revive me?" I asked her.
"Yes. Although you are still not on par to challenge me yet, I have fun fighting against you. Even though you are at a clear disadvantage, you still managed to complete my task for you which is already quite impressive. You might have died at the end of the fight but it is understandable and I won't be mocking you on it. And since you passed the test, the first reward I have to give you is a free revival without any penalties."
"If that is how you view this person who is standing before you then I am quite pleased by your evaluation. However, I would like to wish one more thing for you, your majesty."
"Speak."
"In the future, once I get stronger, I would like to ask for a rematch. Today, I will treat it as my loss, but I won't accept it since I am still weak, that is why please grant me this wish."
Queen Tanya grinned and before laughing loudly. "Hahaha, amusing! This is the first time someone asked me to have a rematch. Out of all the people who fought against me, you are the only guy who asked for a rematch in the future. Interesting... interesting indeed! Very well! Since you insist, it is my win this time, however, prove to me that you will grow and get stronger than I can fight you with my full strength in the future! I will be waiting!"
-You have received special recognition from Queen Tanya! You will now be able to freely visit Queen Tanya and get quests from her!
-You have received the Exclusive Title [Queen's Rival] and Unique Title, [Worthy Opponent]!
-Your reputation to the whole Sandurk Continent's friendly towns and NPCs has increased!
I was surprised as I am not expecting to get two titles, and a big reputation boost to the whole Sandurk Continent in just one go. I just stated I wanted to duel Queen Tanya again as she is one of the strongest characters in the game and having a chance to duel with her will prove a challenge. I didn't expect I will gain much more rewards than I expected!
What is very good to me, I also gained the reputation to enter and exit the palace without any issues from the guards! This was an early treat since I thought I have to grind quests to gain this kind of reputation but this is definitely a good plus!
"Since you have gained my recognition that you are indeed capable of handling the situations, I decided to dispatch you on a mission to capture a place that has been overtaken by the demons and monsters. I will dispatch you to the West Desert and I will task you to capture back the West Desert and set the first captured area as a foothold to increase the morale of the soldiers.
But be warned, the enemies in that place are strong. My soldiers are having a struggle on this and have a hard time capturing back the place. However, if you are determined, you might be able to take it back. I can't go there and personally take care of the problem as I also have to protect the capital from the grasp of the invading demons and also to slow down the advance of the Dragon of Darkness but since you are able to go toe on toe with me, there is no way you will have trouble clearing that place. Will you accept my quest for you?"
A pop-up appeared before me showing my latest quest.
Pioneer's Responsibility
[Capture the West Desert]
Type: Pioneer Questline
Objective: Set up the foothold of the people of Sandurk and capture back the West Desert that has been overrun by demons and monsters.
Note: Have you played enough strategy games to do this or will you do all the tasks alone? It is up to you.
Will you accept the Quest?
Yes/No
I accepted the yes button and nodded at Queen Tanya.
"Yes, I will do so."
"Good, I expect good news from you. Don't disappoint me, my rival."
I bowed again before leaving the palace to go out and do the questline. Although these events are not in the first timeline, I will make sure that even without the help of my past experiences to help ease out all of the questlines in this mission, I will make sure that I will clear this with pride. Now is the time to climb up to the pinnacle of strength in this game starting today!
