Chapter 527 - The Mermaid Calls for Aid (1/2)

Jiang Fei examined the progress of the construction for a bit and left crates of materials for the NPC builders to use. After he was done, he left for the Demon Flame Fortress.

Even though he wanted to do something, he dared not enter the Hall of Commanders. The Saint of the Light was sitting there waiting for Jiang Fei to come. She might have a quest for him and if Jiang Fei said the "wrong" thing, she might accidentally reach Infatuated. Isabella would be furious if that happened!

Just as he was standing outside of the hall, thinking of other things to do, a blue light pillar flashed.

"Who dares invade the Demon Flame Fortress!?" cried the voice of Knight's Commander Heinz before Jiang Fei could even react to it.

After the blue light pillar faded away, Jiang Fei was hugged by a familiar face.

"Ariel? What are you doing here?" asked Jiang Fei as he was surprised to see the Merfolk Princess Ariel appearing in the middle of the Demon Fortress.

"Oh, Verdure Glider! Hm? Do you know her?" asked Heinz as he lowered his sword. He was the man in charge of the defense of the fortress. Naturally, when someone not affiliated to the Shadow Faction entered the territory, he would be the first on the scene to fend them off.

"Yes commander. This is the daughter of the Master of the Seven Seas! Princess Ariel!" said Jiang Fei as he introduced the princess to Heinz.

"Oh! Welcome to the Demon Flame Fortress, Merfolk friend. However, even though I may welcome you here, intruding the fortress without permission is not short of a crime!" said Heinz as he turned a blind eye. The Merfolk race was one of the neutral race that did not take any stance in the war between the Light and the Shadow Faction. Even so, intruding the Demon Flame Fortress and even appearing right in front of the Hall of Commanders was something unheard of.

"I have grave news!" cried Ariel, tears rolling down her soft pale cheeks. Incidentally, she had completely ignored Heinz.

First and foremost, Ariel was a Level 88 Higher Lord tier NPC, which was very much stronger than Heinz. Secondly, she was completely lovestruck and would not look at any other men besides Jiang Fei.

"What happened?" said Jiang Fei, worried.

"My father has been kidnapped and imprisoned by the Naga! I need your help!" said Ariel, crying at the same time.

"Ding! The Merfolk Princess Ariel has a Legendary Hidden Quest for you: Blitz Rescue! Will you accept it?"

"Ding! The quest has been automatically accepted due to the Love Contract between you and Princess Ariel!"

As soon as Jiang Fei was about to ask for more details, another system notification popped out.

"What the hell?" cried Jiang Fei. He finally understood the side-effects of Infatuated. All quests issued by a girl in the Infatuated status would automatically be accepted! Jiang Fei had no power to reject any quest she issued!
