"I never thought I would be so angry!

How dare she do this to me!

When I was teaching Tyler mathematics, Tilloa came in with her suitor hand in hand!

He was just some uneducated young man .

Tilloa didn't even introduce me properly; she just said, "Oh, this is my tutor, uncle Stalvan . He is a good old man . "

Old man! After hearing that phrase, my face went red . I was only a few years older than she was and she actually betrayed me…

My heart felt like it had fallen into a bottomless abyss of despair . She had strung my feelings along and now she was engaged . This hateful liar pretended to fall in love with me, but she was only trying to hurt me . There is a dark feeling in my heart that grows stronger with every minute .

None of these aristocrats had anything good to offer . I didn't like them before, but at least I thought they were good people . Now, I realize I was wrong .



I will go to Twilight Forest to settle some things, but after that, I will make her pay in blood . However, compared to the suffering I feel now, that is but a small price…"

In this cold basement, reading words of such anger and despair made them seem even worse . Lu Li and Sesame Rice Ball could now conclude one thing; the family had been killed by the tutor .

After going in a big circle, they had now returned to the very beginning – the Twilight Forest .

"We're stuck again . I think we should give it up and just re-trigger the quest in three days," Sesame Rice Ball sighed . "Why is my specialization quest so hard? Next time, we'll need to bring someone lucky . "

This lucky person was Hachi Chan . As long as it was quest related, her powerful led NPCs to fall over one another to help her .

If they needed equipment, the person to bring was Remnant Dream . She had looted all kinds of exquisite equipment from elite monsters, and Lu Li had significantly benefitted from her lucky hands .

"Let's go to Darkshire . I think someone there will give us another clue," Lu Li suggested . He had also began to feel helpless for this quest .

However, he wasn't someone to just give up . As long as there was still hope, he would relentlessly push on, especially if the truth was at stake .

After returning to Darkshire, Lu Li went straight into the Bloodraven Inn .



"Oh, look who's here . Nice to meet you, my friend," Aoriana Goldtooth said, welcoming Lu Li with open arms .

"Mr Aoriana, can you help me find this person? Also, one glass of your signature wine please . My friend has been stressed recently," Lu Li requested after taking Sesame Rice Ball to the bar .

Sesame Rice Ball normally had an aversion to alcohol, but his depression caused him to cave in and decide to drink .

"You're so young yet you're stressing," the Dwarf commented disdainfully as he poured the drinks . He also poured himself a drink, and put three glasses of wine on Lu Li's tab .

"This is what happened…" Lu Li started as he began to share the entire process of their quest to the listening Dwarf .

"Stalvan…" Dwarf Goldtooth muttered as he stroked the letters, then continued, "This name is very common, but I know of an unusual person who lived in the north-eastern part of the forest . He is also called Stalvan and he rarely comes into the town . There are dead ghouls everywhere where he lived; it's hard to imagine how he does it . "

"Take us there!" Lu Li was overjoyed; this was really no effort at all .

"What's the hurry? It's not like he's gonna run away," Aoriana mused . "He said that 'these nobles have nothing good to offer' . If he was some murderous maniac with a deep hatred for nobility… then is it possible that he has something to do with the town's missing nobles?"

"It's very possible," Lu Li affirmed .

"But, we need evidence . Come, let's go to Althea," the tavern owner said as he moved with excitement . He ran out with Lu Li and Sesame Rice Ball, leaving his tavern unattended .

Althea Ebonlocke, the commander of the Night's Watchmen, had just returned from the outside with a team of people . It was clear they had just come back from a fight .

"Salute!" The paladins immediately drew their swords and paid their respects to Lu Li .

Even if these soldiers hadn't personally experienced it, they had all heard of the fierce battle and Lu Li's bravery . The most important thing was that more than a dozen players in the fifty-man team were from Ruling Sword .

They eagerly looked at Lu Li, but because of their discipline, they also naturally paid their respects .

There were more than 40 Ruling Sword players who had joined this small camp . They had integrated into the Night's Watchmen force and almost become professional soldiers, spending hours each day following the NPCs and going out for combat patrols . This process had been difficult, but the benefits were also obvious .

They acquired good combat skills, a lot of EXP and the standard service rewards…

These players had already reached level 41 and were at the forefront of the level rankings . It was a very important hidden strength of Ruling Sword .

After exchanging formalities, Lu Li got straight to the point . He and Night's Watchmen were alike in that they didn't beat around the bush .

"Lord Commander, I have brought some clues about the murder case . Please have a look…"

"We've been pursuing this murderer for many years, ever since he killed a few visiting aristocrats some years ago . I sent someone to investigate the handwriting that was left behind by the murderer . If the print is identical, we can convict him . Call Daltry," Althea Ebonlocke said, then appointed a soldier to quickly look for Clerk Daltry .

Daltry was called to compare the handwriting . After being in charge of the town's archives for many years, he was very good at recognizing handwriting . He gave a positive answer shortly after comparing the two documents .

"Stalvan Mismantle is likely to be a vicious criminal . Friend, I'll need to trouble you again and ask you to bring him here," Althea told Lu Li .

He was just a teacher, so he wasn't worth her time as a commander . Moreover, the System couldn't just let her serve Lu Li's purposes .

"It's our pleasure . This was our quest anyway . "

The truth had finally been revealed and Lu Li was also a little excited .

"Is anyone willing to help?" Althea asked .

This, of course, was a show of their good friendship . In his previous quest, Lu Li had won the friendship of the Night's Watchmen, so there was nothing strange about this request .

"Lord, we are willing to help," a dozen Ruling Sword players offered as they stepped forwards .

Althea certainly didn't object to other soldiers volunteering; she knew that her soldiers were strong and wouldn't die easily . Even if these players died, they would be back soon anyway .
