512 Two Birds, One Stone (2/2)

”Hmm?” Jiang Fei scratched his chin and thought of something brilliant.

The quest that he had obtained from the Saint of the Light was to rescue the civilians of the Light Faction. That must include the blacksmiths! In the midst of the chaos, Jiang Fei could surely be able to take all the Felsteel Bars he wanted! Two birds with one stone!

With that thought in mind, Jiang Fei started to plan. The Saint of the Light had only asked him to save the civilians, not their property nor their belongings. Hence, all he had to do was to ensure the civilians get away safely. He could then claim all their leftover items in the town as compensation for saving their lives!

There might be chances that the civilians would take their precious belongings with them as they escape. However, since Jiang Fei was their soon-to-be commander, he could pester the civilians to move as fast as they could with the Saint's Guards' help. They might take their gold and silver but not heavy metals such as the Felsteel Bars. Not only would Jiang Fei be able to complete the Saint of the Light's Hidden Quest, he would also be completing Ivan's quest!

After his plan was devised, Jiang Fei took off into the air and flew toward the location where the Saint had indicated in her letter.

”Something's coming! All hands, get ready for combat!” cried one of the guards as she spotted Jiang Fei high in the sky.

”Who is it? Stay frosty girls!” cried another guard as Jiang Fei landed.

”A Demon!”

”Kill them!” cried the leading NPC guard as she charged towards Jiang Fei with her sword in hand.

”Woah there!” Even though Jiang Fei had the Saint's bracelet, the guards still attacked Jiang Fei without giving him a chance to explain his situation.

”Die Demon!” cried the leading NPC guards as she was about to land a slash on Jiang Fei.

”Huh?”

As soon as she was close enough to Jiang Fei, her status turned from red to green, indicating that Jiang Fei and she were now in a Friendly Reputation status. Jiang Fei's Romeo title effect was in play and the female NPC lowered her sword.

”Who are you?” asked the female NPC.

”I am an envoy sent my the Saint of the Light. Take this. These are the bracelet and the letter of the Saint,” said Jiang Fei as he handed over the items that the Saint had given to him.

”I understand the situation now. My apologies, sir envoy. I am the Commander of the Saint's Guard company, Hua Mulan,” said the NPC as she kneeled down to Jiang Fei.

”Urgh…” Jiang Fei cringed. He had no idea who was the designer of this NPC but naming her as Hua Mulan was a little derivative and lazy, to be honest. Even so, this female commander had definitely lived up to the name Mulan as she was strong. She was a Level 89 Higher Lord tier NPC. She was only one level away from being a Lesser Overlord at Level 90. Looked like the Luminous Church had spared no man behind in order to protect the Saint of the Light. However, since the Saint was meditating in the Moonlight Church, she was without her personal guards. That was the reason why Jiang Fei and the Shadow Faction were able to capture the Saint.

Mulan then revealed the identity to the entire female guards present and explained the situation to them. At the very least, they would not attack Jiang Fei any longer, they could not do it anyway because of Romeo.

Jiang Fei examined the company for a bit and found that two-thirds of the Saint's Guards was made up of females. Of course, they were immediately ”charmed” by Jiang Fei and became ”Friendly” with him. The rest of the male guards were not as easily persuaded by Mulan as their name tags were still pinkish red. Even though they did not attack Jiang Fei, they would not recognize him as an ally.
