Chapter 37 (1/2)
Upon hearing Mike’s words, Haraus raised his eyelids and said with a frown,
“So it’s the respected God Slayer, sigh…
“Are you looking for the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh?”
Mike nodded with a smile.
The Legend of the Hero mission was very simple. Rescue Gilgamesh, the human hero, was a secret that everyone knew, but no one could accomplish it.
To be able to capture a human hero, one could imagine how difficult this mission was.
Seeing Mike nod his head, Haraus continued,
“Lord God Slayer, you may not know this, but Lord Gilgamesh is… missing…”
Haraus’s words were a little slurred.
This was reasonable. After all, the disappearance of the King of Heroes was something that could not be spread around. He could only say that he was “missing”.
However, this was the process of the mission. Mike was well aware of it, so he patiently talked to Haraus.
Following this, Haraus said a lot of nonsense.
For example.
The King of Heroes used to be so heroic, and he had accomplished many battle achievements before he earned the title of the King of Heroes.
Also, Hero City used to be a happy city. There was a festive atmosphere everywhere, and everyone had smiles on their faces.
After the King of heroes disappeared, Hero City seemed to have been cursed. It was always cloudy, and everyone in the city had lost their smiles.
Of course, Mike only treated these words as a plot requirement.
In his memories, Hero City had always been like this. He had never seen a sunny day, and he had never seen any NPC who had a smile on their face.
At the end of the conversation, Haraus finally said the key sentence, “Sigh, if only the King of Heroes could come back.”
Hearing this, Mike smiled and asked,
“Is there anything I can help you with?”
Hearing this, Haraus said, “If it’s the God Slayer, he should be able to do it…”
This was a little different from Mike’s memory.
In Mike’s memory, when players responded as he did, the answer they would get was, “How can a little adventurer like you help?”
Adventurer was how NPCs addressed players.
Perhaps because of the NPCs’ respectful attitude toward Mike, a small change had occurred, but overall, it did not have much of an impact.
“If you can find the King of Heroes, the entire Hero City will thank you!”
At this moment, a dialog box appeared in front of Mike.
It was golden!
[Do you wish to accept the quest, Legend of the Hero?]
Mike immediately chose “Yes”.
