I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 285, 1.21-2: The Girl Imprisoned in the Tower
Geria City.

"Young Miss! Please slow down!" the young man shouted as he jogged to keep up with the girl who was getting faster and faster.

"Hurry up and catch up. As my servant, you can't walk so slowly," the girl said impatiently.

Her tone was extremely arrogant, which showed that she was a person with a very strong sense of self-esteem. However, her face was exceptionally beautiful and gentle, which was completely unlike the sharp and aggressive personality she displayed.

Her long, cool brown hair cascaded down her back, and her cute princess-cut hairstyle made her delicate and pretty face even more adorable, but the expression on her face was arrogant and disdainful.

A pale yellow dress swayed gently as she walked, like a pale yellow flower in full bloom.

The two arrived at the gate of an enormous mansion. The girl, clutching a piece of paper, shouted, "Summon your city lord! I'll take this commission."

"The city lord has gone out," the guard at the gate said.

"Is that so? Then take me to the living room and wait for him to return." The girl smiled haughtily and spoke to the guard at the door in an almost commanding tone.

"Young Miss... this is extremely rude. Let's wait for the city lord to return before we talk," the young man said to the girl with a worried expression, his brows furrowed.

"I accepted a commission! If you want to hire me without even treating me, wouldn't that make me too cheap?" The dark brown eyes glanced at the young man and asked in return.

Suddenly, a man dressed as a waiter came out from inside, made an inviting gesture, and said respectfully, "Please."

"Hmph, you're smart enough to know your place." The girl snorted coldly and walked in with extreme arrogance, as if she were not a guest but a queen inspecting her territory, not taking anyone seriously.

The young man rubbed his forehead slightly, seemingly somewhat helpless, but said nothing, clearly having grown accustomed to his young mistress's entire temperament.

The girl was invited to sit on the sofa in the living room, where she drank tea and ate snacks while waiting for the city lord to arrive.

"Why did you come all the way to Gloria City, Miss? Wouldn't it be shorter to go to Rivers Town?" the young man asked.

"To participate in that real-world gathering instance, you must go to three designated locations. However, no one knows how to trigger the instance's storyline after arriving there. Nobody knows. Of the three hints, the first one is too difficult, the second one reveals a clue that the city lord can lead them to the instance, and the third one is completely baffling."

So she chose the second option and came to the city of Geria.

Ultimately, the fact that the city lord summoned his servants at this particular time is highly suspicious, and there might be some clues involved.

The girl had a haughty expression, but she didn't seem very impatient while waiting.

After an unknown amount of time, the city lord finally arrived, albeit belatedly.

"Too slow! Is this the attitude you should have when asking others to do things?" The girl looked at the city lord with a displeased expression and accused him.

They were clearly waiting voluntarily and offering themselves up, but because of the girl's words, it became that the city lord summoned them and then failed to provide adequate hospitality.

The facts have been completely distorted...

the other side.

The desolate Sayo Valley was only filled with the howling wind, creating an eerie atmosphere.

A dark figure approached from afar, finally stopping slowly before the stone tablet in the valley. The figure appeared to be a slender woman, her face deathly pale, yet adorned with bright red lips. A black veil partially covered her head, obscuring half her face, creating a mysterious and alluring beauty, yet also a chilling and unsettling aura.

She stretched out a hand covered in bandages and stroked the carvings on the stone tablet.

It seemed to be testing something, then the sound of gears turning came from the side, the stone tablet shattered in an instant, and the rocks next to it fell down to reveal a dark and gloomy cave, from which the faint sound of water dripping could be heard.

Without hesitation, the woman turned and walked into the cave. Her black veil fluttered gently in the wind, creating an eerie yet beautiful scene.

Rivers town.

"It seems to be here..." Mu Yegui looked down at the small card in his hand, while looking around at the identical buildings, and finally stopped in front of a gate.

Holding a box in one hand, she gently knocked on the door and said in a soft, sweet voice with a blank expression, "The deliveryman has brought a package. Please check it."

The door was gently opened, and with the sound of the box hitting the ground, after a flash of blood, all that could be seen was a head rolling on the ground, with blood everywhere.

Mu Yegui wore a cream-colored long dress, spotless and pure, without a trace of blood. She stood quietly before the headless corpse lying on the open doorway, a strange, snake-like dagger dripping blood in one hand, her expression as calm as ever, almost serene.

An angelic girl was doing something that seemed like something out of a demon, yet she still looked as pure and innocent as an angel. This scene was enough to make everyone who saw it run away in fear.

"Gurgle?" Mu Yegui tilted her head, her curly, misty gray hair brushing against her cheek, looking quite adorable, and uttered a strange onomatopoeic word in her soft, sweet voice.

"That's a severed head." Jealousy stood not far behind her, coldly watching the scene, and spoke up to warn her.

"That's a 'pfft pfft'?" Mu Yegui flicked the blood off his short sword, turned around and looked at Jealousy with a puzzled expression, and then asked.

Jealousy extended her long, slender, and perfect fingers and pointed at the card in Mu Yegui's other hand, saying, "This isn't written on the card."

Her cool, silver eyes stared at the prompt "[Gulu Gulu - Rivers Town]" on the card, and she said softly, "What a strange mission."

Suddenly receiving a mysterious quest card at Sher's castle, and not wanting to alert Sher, I used the power of jealousy to travel to Rivers Town in the Kingdom of the Unbelievable.

The guy she just killed was a quest she picked up at the tavern. For some reason, Rivers Town has been very strict lately, and even the crown prince can't just step into it. So she could only use the quest as an excuse to get in.

The NPC that died will probably be replaced by a new NPC soon.

"What's making that gurgling sound? Is your stomach growling?" Mu Yegui walked down the steps to stand in front of Jealousy, staring at the small card with a puzzled expression.

"Yeah~ What's making a gurgling sound? Hehehehehe" A strange laugh came from beside the two of them, and a mysterious person draped in a black cloak appeared in front of them.

"I never expected you to actually come, my beloved Dark King! Please lead us, the inhabitants of the Dark, out of our long-standing prison!" The man in the black cloak knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

"Huh?" Mu Yegui opened her mouth slightly, seemingly surprised.

She didn't say anything, so why was this guy able to keep talking to himself?
Jealousy casually tossed a stray strand of dyed blonde hair across his forehead, a cryptic glint in his dark orange eyes. He smiled slightly and said slowly, "The plot for a certain instance has been triggered."
