Chapter 197 Continuous Tasks

After Su Rui finished translating all the letters, Lord Daryl still hadn't returned.

Although NPCs move much faster than players, they still can't outrun Su Rui's ability to return to town directly. Not to mention, Lord Daryl still has to settle things at Tarrenburg. Although General Kova is dead, there are still many soldiers and officers at Tarrenburg. It's hard to say whether they are connected to the Moraka Brotherhood. After all, these soldiers have served General Kova for many years. Even if they are innocent, the officers have certainly been corrupted quite a bit.

Therefore, Lord Daryl cannot return immediately until he has settled matters in Tarrenburg.

Taking advantage of this moment, Su Rui opened his task panel and checked the tasks he had just received.

Corruption and Infiltration: The Moraka Brotherhood's infiltration of the kingdom has reached an alarming level. Besides Tarrenburg, there are likely many more places that have been infiltrated by the Moraka Brotherhood. This matter must be taken seriously by the kingdom!

Mission objective: Together with Lord Daryl, report your findings to the Regent!

Quest Level: 20

Risk level: Low!

Quest Rewards: 2000 Experience Points! 20 Silver Coins!

Special Rewards: None!

"Is it a series of quests?" Su Rui muttered to himself. Although the reward for this quest was not high, he could tell from the name that it was only the first step of the quest. There might be more quests to do after completing this step.

"Brother, have you finished translating your letter?" Just then, Lord Daryl returned to Xuanwu City.

"Yes! It's all done!" Su Rui nodded.

"Follow me!" Lord Daryl led Su Rui into the city lord's mansion, and then the two of them walked towards the back garden, where there was a teleportation array that led directly to the royal city!

Since he was involved in official business with Daryl City, Su Rui didn't need to pay for teleportation even though he hadn't activated the suffix name.

Accompanied by a white light, Su Rui and Lord Daril arrived in the royal city.

"Follow me!" Lord Daryl pulled Su Rui and headed straight for the king's castle.

Su Rui followed Lord Daryl at a brisk pace and soon arrived at the castle gate.

"Halt!" The guards at the castle gate stopped Lord Daryl and Su Rui.

“I am Daril, the city lord of Xuanwu City. I have important matters to discuss with the Regent!” said City Lord Daril.

"Lord Daryl, you entered the royal city without being summoned. Do you know that this is illegal?" the gatekeeper questioned.

"I have important business to discuss with His Highness the Regent!" Lord Daryl said anxiously.

"No! Considering this is your first offense, we won't arrest you. Return to Xuanwu City immediately. If you want to see His Highness the Regent, submit your petition now. After the Regent reviews it, he will summon you if he deems it necessary!" the soldier said.

"But..." Lord Daryl was extremely anxious; how could he wait for such a tedious procedure?

"Are you trying to force us to use force?" The soldiers at the city gate frowned. Although they were only level 75 elites, they were the guards of the royal city and were not afraid of Daril, this regional governor.

"You..." Lord Daryl was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Brother, let me do it!" Su Rui reassured Lord Daril, then added his own suffix back to his name.

After finalizing the suffix, Su Rui stepped forward and said to the two soldiers guarding the castle gate, "Gentlemen, I have something very urgent to discuss with His Majesty the Regent!"

The two guards, who had been keeping a close eye on Lord Daril, turned around after hearing Su Rui speak, and were stunned when they saw Su Rui and his men!

"Greetings, Young Marshal!" The two soldiers immediately saluted, pounding their chests with one hand.

“I have something very important to discuss with His Highness the Regent. Could you two please help me?” Su Rui said with a smile.

"Young Marshal, do you have an imperial edict?" the leading soldier asked.

"No, the situation is urgent!" Su Rui said.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go inside and inform them!" the soldier said.

"Thank you!" Su Rui said.

"Young Marshal! You don't need to tell us all this!" The soldier saluted Su Rui, then turned and went inside.

As a soldier in the king's castle, he was actually unwilling to take on this kind of work. After all, this was the king's castle, and as the outermost soldier, he could not enter. The message had to be passed down layer by layer, and to pass the message up a layer, one had to ask for a favor, or even ask someone else to do it.

Because the matter was complicated, the soldiers adopted the principle of "the less trouble, the better," and would try to block it if they could.

But this time was different. The visitor was Marshal Salo's adopted son, and he had to give him face. So the soldier didn't hesitate at all and went to report it directly.

The soldier hadn't gone far when he could go no further. He said to the guards at the gate, "Marshal Salo's son has urgent business with the Regent. Please inform him inside!"

"Okay!" Without saying a word, the soldier inside turned around and continued walking inside.

The message was passed through the castle layer by layer, and after passing through more than a dozen layers, it finally reached the ears of the Regent, who was teaching the young king to play chess at the time.

"Didn't he just leave? Why is he back again?" The Regent was taken aback. Su Rui had just received his title and left. It hadn't been long since then, so why was he back?

However, out of respect for Grand Marshal Salo, the Regent could not ignore him, so he said to the soldiers at the palace gate, "Let him in!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" The soldier turned and left, and then the imperial edict to Su Rui was passed down layer by layer until it finally reached the gate of the castle.

"Young Marshal! Please!" the soldier at the door said to Su Rui.

"Let's go in!" This time, it was Su Rui who led Lord Daril into the castle. Along the way, because of Marshal Salo, the soldiers saluted and greeted them.

"It seems the teacher is truly beloved; even you are being cared for because of him..." Lord Daryl sighed, though he wasn't jealous of Su Rui's privileges.

“I would rather not have these benefits, as long as my godfather is still alive…” Su Rui said.

"Hey! Let's not talk about that anymore, let's get on with the things in front of us first!" Daryl said, taking a deep breath.

"Alright!" Su Rui nodded, and as they spoke, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the main hall. By this time, a warrior had already gone in to announce their arrival.

"Earl Salo and Lord Daril are here to receive an audience!" came the voice from inside the hall announcing Su Rui's entry.
