Chapter 37

"Look who’s here, the cute little failure from Northshire Abbey—I thought you wouldn’t come back."

Jennifer Lawrence's office at the Defias Outpost was a small, independent wooden structure. The beautiful and tough woman was leisurely trimming her nails, clearly enjoying the absence of clueless rookies, which made Jennifer feel very comfortable. Her gaze towards Alpha also became flirtatious.

"Here’s what you asked for, the longbow of the Bloodbird."

Alpha completely ignored Jennifer’s teasing and extended his hand to hand over the required item from the Bloodbird’s defeat.

Jennifer displayed the joy that always appeared when she received the bloodstained longbow. Who knew what deep-seated grudge they had, allowing her to still be so excited even after receiving news of the Bloodbird’s physical destruction hundreds of times a day.

"I wish someone could tell me that the Bloodbird has disappeared, I mean, completely—then, do the great paladin hero and the pretty ranger girl have any good news? Don’t look so grim like your little failure."

Alpha, teased once again, helplessly glanced at Lancelot, who shamelessly winked at him, while Bella blushed slightly.

This damn game, the NPCs are too unlike NPCs, they even know how to tease players...

"Actually, we are together. There’s something I want to tell you. I think there might be a way to make you never have to see the Bloodbird’s longbow again."

Alpha couldn’t let Jennifer continue to tease him. As he took the money pouch Jennifer threw over, he hurriedly said, the pouch was very light, probably just a few copper coins, the reward for completing the task.

Striking at the vital point, Alpha was preparing to surprise Jennifer. Indeed, this sentence had a miraculous effect:

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Jennifer abruptly stood up, her eyes revealing unprecedented surprise, which was completely different from the slightly flirtatious and domineering manner of the Defias Outpost’s scout leader. Jennifer Lawrence’s prominent chest rose and fell continuously, indicating she was in a state of extreme tension and excitement.

Alpha sighed in relief, finally not being teased anymore, but he soon realized it wasn’t that simple.

If Jennifer Lawrence’s tone and expression were just "teasing" or "mischievous" before, now her state could be described as "eager" or "impatient." Alpha even felt like he was about to be devoured.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course."

Alpha nodded, swallowing hard as he looked at the prominent peaks. Lancelot beside him was in the same state, but Jennifer had no reaction, only pressing for an answer with an eager look.

"How?"

"Take us to Deckard Cain!"

Alpha crossed his arms, saying it with a vengeful tone...

...

...

Deckard Cain was not the guard of the Defias Outpost, and certainly not someone anyone could see at will. In fact, after the incident where the fallen paladin Griswold abducted him, the great sage had been fully protected, making it almost impossible for players to see him. Therefore, Jennifer would definitely not agree to Alpha’s request.

No matter how Jennifer insisted, Alpha held firm, determined to see Deckard Cain.

Even when Jennifer tried to intimidate him with a heroic and powerful demeanor, Alpha remained unmoved, directly closing the door and letting Lancelot in. As a hero and a powerful NPC, Jennifer’s level was higher than players, but players had the advantage of being immortal, so Jennifer couldn’t do anything to Alpha.

Alpha had to see Deckard Cain; otherwise, there was no discussion:

Alpha had his own considerations. In this game, where newbies often distrust NPCs as much as players, the fact that his status as a failure mage was widely known among NPCs was proof.

Therefore, Alpha decided to report this matter directly to Deckard Cain.

The reason was naturally due to Deckard Cain’s supreme status. The righteous gods were willing to threaten the Lord of Baator to protect Deckard Cain, showing how high his status was in the righteous gods’ camp. At such a high status, some interests could be ignored.

This was exactly what Alpha needed; Deckard Cain wouldn’t compete with him for credit!!!

This matter involved a major reshuffle of Northshire’s forces and the root cause of the Pale Canyon problem, which could thoroughly eliminate the extraterritorial hellish forces in Northshire. Such a significant achievement would only be unclaimed by a great prophet like Cain, who was dedicated to saving the world.

Therefore, Alpha didn’t let Jennifer know exactly what it was, only that it could permanently get rid of the Bloodbird, which was enough to make this mature woman obediently take him to see Deckard Cain.

In the end, Jennifer Lawrence indeed yielded, reluctantly agreeing to report to her superiors and take them to Silvermoon City.

Of course, seeing the great prophet in the near future was impossible. According to Jennifer, the great prophet was not in the city and had no time to see Alpha and the others. He would return in 15 Azeroth days, which was 15 game days.

Alpha was very curious what could be more important than the plan to clear out the extraterritorial hellish forces in Northshire?

Jennifer’s explanation was that the Ascalon Horn, the site of the ancient hellgate during the War of the Ancients, which had remained barren for ten thousand years, was recently showing some unusual activity. This concerned the safety of the entire Azeroth, so the great prophet had to personally investigate.

The Wasteland was a map that players could only explore at level 70 or higher. It was said that the air there was filled with crimson poison from hell, and only players level 70 or higher could be immune to the 2% life drain per second. Therefore, going to the Wasteland to find the great prophet was impossible.

Since they had to wait, the three of them returned to their respective homes and mothers.

Alpha and Bella’s main task now was to level up, while Lancelot’s ultimate mission was to hunt down the heroes of the League.

After saying goodbye to the two again, Alpha prepared to wander around and log off to prepare dinner, as he was responsible for the meals of the three.

Just as Alpha was strolling around the Defias Outpost camp, looking around, a sickly sweet voice sounded from behind:

"Little failure cutie, perhaps you wouldn’t mind chatting with a lonely lady, right? Perhaps we might have a wonderful experience."
