“Is there anything we still need to do?” Dusk asked.
“Return the flute to Einpat,” Nie Yan replied. He glanced at Bai Kaishui (Plain Boiled Water) and said, “Hand the flute to me.”
At the end of the day the flute was a quest item and never belonged to him in the first place. Bai Kaishui inwardly sighed and handed the flute back to Nie Yan.
Nie Yan eyed the forest thickets and spotted a decrepit old man walking unsteadily towards them.
“Respected Senior, we’ve punished those despicable dark elves and retrieved your flute.”
“Good! Yes, this is indeed my flute! Thank you, brave adventurers. There’ll be no need to navigate the winding and twisting paths on your return. I’ll send you all to the exit myself. May the Divine bless you!”
Had Nie Yan and the others tried to keep the flute, they would have incurred Einpat’s wrath and likely found themselves in a perilous situation. Ultimately the Treant Forest would have become a resting place for their bones.
「System: Side quest “Einpat’s Missing Flute” has been completed. You have received 28,596 experience points.」
Shortly after Nie Yan received this notification, a thick fog emerged and enveloped the team; the elderly Einpat disappeared as well. When the fog finally dissipated and everyone could see clearly again, they discovered they had been returned to the entrance of the forest.
“We can still collect another reward by going to the commander in Calore!” Nie Yan glanced at his experience bar. Among his teammates, he received the largest share of the experience because he had contributed the most during Einpat’s quest. Moreover, after gaining the experience from the side quest, his experience bar rose to seventy-three percent.
Everyone was in high spirits. It truly felt great following Nie Yan into a dungeon. After receiving the reward, their experience bars once again rose by a large chunk.
…
After travelling back to Tellak town, the entire team took the transfer point to Calore.
Upon arriving, Nie Yan headed directly for the barracks.
Their destination was to the southwest of the city. When they arrived at the outer perimeter of the barracks, they saw tall walls with many sentries posted atop. Overall, it appeared the defenses and security of this place were fairly tight. Nie Yan and his group didn’t enter the barracks but rather the lofty white tower that stood beside it. This was the building where Commander Kavrote was stationed.
As they entered, the group could see there weren’t many NPCs within the building. However, a tall middle-aged man still walked over to greet them. He had a face full of scars and wore the military uniform of the Viridian Empire.
Nie Yan used Transcendent Insight to examine this NPC—Commander Kavrote.
“Youngsters, what business do you have coming to this place?”
“Lord Commander, we caught two dark elves lurking inside Treant Forest. After interrogating them, we received some information that concerns the safety of Hilton Stronghold. Here are the heads of the two dark elves we caught.”
Commander Kavrote followed up with a few more questions while Nie Yan answered accordingly in the formal manner which was standard in player-to-NPC interaction. Afterward, he handed the Dark Elf Heads over to Commander Kavrote.
「System: Side quest “Deliver the Information” has been completed.」
「System: Your Influence in Hilton Stronghold has increased by 11.」
