Chapter 614 Chapter587-The Steadfast Duke Arsena
At the Storm City teleportation point, he immediately saw several guards of Storm City posting new notices on the notice board nearby.
John walked up to the board to read these new postings, which were all related to quests from the Order Faction following the game system update.
Recognizing John, one of the Storm City guards approached him with a smile and said, "Lord John, you must not need much deliberation, right? You're surely going to join our Order Faction, aren't you?"
John nodded; he was certainly going to side with the Order Faction.
However, since the guard had initiated a conversation, John took the opportunity to inquire about any unusual events that might have occurred recently. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
"Of course, I will definitely join the Order Faction. I've always been assisting the Order Faction in battles. And personally, I have a strong disdain for the Mystery and Dark Factions. Since we're on the subject, may I ask if these notices were just posted? There must already be some adventurers planning to join the Order Faction within Storm City. Do you have any idea how many adventurers are considering joining the Order Faction?"
Faced with John's questions, the Storm City guard's expression turned awkward, revealing his lack of knowledge regarding the answers.
These were details beyond his pay grade, and John understood this upon seeing the guard's discomfort.
"I understand, you don't need to answer these questions. Thank you for speaking with me. I'll head directly to Duke Arsena's palace and have a thorough discussion with him," John concluded.
After saying this, John cast a Teleport Spell and found himself at the entrance of Duke Arsena's palace.
The guards here did not stop him; instead, they led John straight to the room where Duke Arsena was currently located.
Duke Arsena showed no surprise at John's arrival; he had anticipated that John would take the quests from different factions very seriously.
"I had expected your return. You must have analyzed the quests from the three different factions carefully by now. What do you think of our Order Faction's quest?" Duke Arsena inquired.
John didn't immediately respond.
He just carefully observed Duke Arsena's expression, pondering whether the Duke's composure was a bit too excessive.
To John, Duke Arsena seemed like he should be slightly panicked.
While the rewards offered by the Order Faction were not negligible, they clearly didn't match those of the Mystery Faction, and were even surpassed by the Dark Faction.
This time, it's not just the Drill Sergeants who will be assisting the adventurers; General Natasha herself will also be offering her help. This means that the speed at which adventurers can level up in the training fields will be significantly increased. I believe no adventurer would easily pass up such an opportunity."
The reward outlined by Duke Arsena seemed very enticing to John.
He believed that even top-tier adventurers would be interested in utilizing the training fields within Storm City.
After all, no player would think their level was too high, and even John was keen on further increasing his own level.
However, John's level was already exceptionally high, meaning that conventional methods were no longer sufficient for him to continue leveling up.
He needed to complete a series of more challenging hidden quests.
Yet, the hidden quests he currently had were not easily completed.
Besides the "Secrets of Storm City" hidden quest, John also had another hidden quest, which was to investigate the specific conditions of the southern seaport.
Between these two different hidden quests, John was more inclined to complete the first one related to Storm City, as the current situation indicated that Storm City was at the heart of the storyline.
If he left Storm City for too long, he might miss out on the critical battles between the three factions, potentially losing the chance to acquire a god-level weapon.
John's thoughts had drifted quite far, and Duke Arsena noticed that John seemed to be lost in thought.
Thus, the Duke gently reminded John to bring his attention back to the present.
"Do you have any other concerns? If not, I suggest you seek out Natasha. She likely has something she wishes to discuss with you."
Duke Arsena's suggestion made John feel somewhat perplexed.
In his view, his relationship with Natasha wasn't particularly strong; their interaction had been limited to brief cooperation.
Before this short-lived collaboration, they had been quite antagonistic towards each other.
John's impression of Natasha wasn't particularly favorable either.
He always felt that Natasha was reluctant to work with him frequently, as if she was waiting for an opportunity to eliminate him.
Moreover, John suspected that Natasha might have been collaborating with the Mystery Protector all along.
Even though the Mystery Protector had betrayed the Order Faction, Natasha might not have ceased her cooperation with them.
