War Online

Looking at the notifications, Wil was stunned on the spot as he didn't expect favorability rise by another 10 after hearing the story and reach 70 so quickly.

Only then did he remember that King's favorability rose by 10 when he first became Viscount. "Hmm, that's right. I see… King's favorability starts at 30. I thought it would start at 0 since the King has the highest authority.

Come to think of it, I never got the chance to interact with a King before in my past life. Bran is always the player's representative in all wars and meetings.

With this, now, I'll be the player's representative for the Llyne Kingdom in the upcoming war.

Nah, I shouldn't be careless. There are eight more players who killed Cerberus and obtained an audience with the King. Anyone who has a chance to meet the King might turn into a competitor. Nevertheless, I'm the one in lead."

"Time Traveler, Hello…"

As Wil came to his senses, he apologized to which Mirella asked, "Where are you so lost in thoughts? You aren't responding for a while."

Wil replied, "It's nothing, Your Majesty. I was just thinking about how to complete my mission. Even though I cannot help you in assassinating your enemies, I can help with finding out the identity of the one who sent you the letters before you become the king.

I have a lot of friends who are very intelligent. They can deduce it once they hear the whole thing. If you can show me those letters, I can copy them and find out their identity. You can at least find out who your ally is. Not to mention, they know the complete truth and maybe, even a witness. They are probably hiding in fear." 

Mirella thought for a while and said, "Hmm... what you said might be right. After I became King, I'm more restricted and monitored except during sleep time. Maybe that's why that person stopped contacting me.

Here, take this…"

She suddenly took out a medallion that was hanging around her neck and handed it to Wil, "this medallion is a symbol of Royalty. With this, you can not only enter the palace and request an audience with me; you can even command a few Royal Knights and soldiers and will be treated as a member of the Royal family in the entire Kingdom. You can also protect yourself from danger. 

Honestly, the reason I'm giving you this medallion is because of Lord Raziel. In the past ten years, I have never seen someone he evaluated very highly.

He said the fate of mine and Kingdom is tied with you. As for the details, he didn't say anything and told me he didn't know anything else.

That's why; I trust you with this. I hope you won't misuse it to commit crimes and go against the laws of the Kingdom. If you do, then, I'll show how you terrifying a King's wrath can be…" 

Ignoring her warning at the end, Wil curiously inspected it as soon as he took it from her hand.

Wil inwardly gasped in a surprise, "This… What a stroke of luck."

He stood up and bowed as a part of etiquette, "I'm honored, Your Majesty. I'll not let you down."

As the sun began to rise, Mirella also stood up and walked to the door. Then, she pressed her ears on to it and listened for a while.

With her superior dragon senses, Wil knew Mirella was able to hear across the corridor. So, he stayed silent.

After a while, She looked at him and said, "no one is outside. I'm returning."

As Wil nodded, Mirella pulled the hood over her and opened the door silently and then, quickly disappeared from his view.

Wil didn't care much about whether she'll get caught again or not as he was extremely delighted while gripping the item in his hands.

"With this, everything becomes easy. I wonder whether Bran also enjoyed such privileges back then.

No, he would still enjoy such privileges even now. But, it doesn't matter.

Sooner or later, I'll make sure the Reverie Kingdom will be destroyed. Only that way, Bran and his guild's development will be slowed down.

Before that, there's an even more important mission. I should stop dad's assassination. Only 11 days left."

Wil smiled as he thought, "It's as if the heavens are helping me even outside the game. Or else, of all people, why would Silver be here? After this is over, I should discuss checking the transactions with him. Oh, but first things first…"

Keeping the medallion in the inventory, he took out the Silver nobility badge. Then, he received a notification once again.

*Ding. Requirements are met. You can upgrade to Earl.

As soon as pressed on accept, the Silver nobility badge turned to Gold color and he received a bunch of notifications.

*Ding. Congratulations, your status rose to Earl.

*Ding. Congratulations, you are the first player from the Llyne Kingdom to become an Earl. You received 1000 Fame and 10 Gold as a reward.

*Ding. Congratulations, you are the first player in the Xynnar Continent to become an Earl. You received 2000 Fame and 30 Gold as a reward.

*Ding. Congratulations, you are the third player in the world to become an Earl. You received 2000 Fame and 30 Gold as a reward. 

*Ding. You are summoned by the King.

*Ding. As an Earl, You'll be given a few plots of land and a Mansion to live. Go to the Imperial palace and receive your reward from the King.

"How the f*** there are two more people who became Earls before me? It's only been 10 days since the release. Must be a legend class user for sure. At the very least, I'm satisfied that Bran's progress is behind me."

30% Discount of all purchases in the Llyne Kingdom.

"Oh boy. Looks like they tone down the power of Earl too, during the first major update. It used to be 150 levels above.

I guess I'm already making changes in the game from the past. But, then, again, with King's Medallion in my hand, it's not much use to me other than having numbers. That's also good when taking down the city." 

Without having anything else to do, Wil just sat down on the bed again and continued to enjoy the free exp.

Two hours later,

Wil was laughing as he was reading an exciting verbal fight against Imperials and Resistance. No, it's more like between the supporters of either of them.

Just then, he received a private message from Snow Dew, interrupting his entertainment.

Snow Dew: Big Brother Time Traveler, need help right now.

Wil was startled at first as it's been a while since he had any contact with the father and daughter pair. The last time was when both of them joined the guild and Flame Emperor handed his share of corrupted gold coins.

Since it's the first time they took an initiative to ask help, Wil quickly responded while wondering whether it's an ambush from Resistance.

Time Traveler: Right now? What happened?
