“We’ve profited this time, but we have to make sure Raintea is safely back in Eternal Kingdom. Pardon my frankness, though you have absolute control over this world, you aren’t able to do so in the otherworld.”

After the Little Fairy left, Bru said thoughtfully, “Why don’t we employ a skilled performer and let them masquerade as Raintea? I have the character data, so it shouldn’t be a problem with good acting.”

“Besides, if the truth was ever unraveled, the consequences would be severe. Moreover, it reneges on the contract,” Sherlock said.

“I feel that the issue isn’t complicated and should resolve itself quickly.”

“Lord Sherlock, do you have any information?” Bru asked, bewildered.

Sherlock looked into a crystal ball that depicted Arthur and the Pioneer Alliance’s gamers challenging the Instance Dungeon. They had 50% casualties, but Arthur looked relaxed.

“Though I don’t agree with being smitten by a common girl, Arthur, who was looking glum like the end of the world, is now happier. It seems like he has really seen Raintea and is sure she is alright. She should be back within a few days.”

Sherlock changed the image in the crystal ball to the excavating Dragonborn. Like Arthur, he seemed relaxed.

“After gathering information from various posts and the surveillance of their chats, I have sorted out the series of events,” Sherlock said.

“Raintea neither quit the game nor changed her faction. Raintea’s granny was having an operation in the hospital due to an accident, so she stayed behind to take care of her. Arthur and Dragonborn visited Raintea in the hospital and had a happy encounter. I’m not sure of what they said, but the official website received a faction change request from Dragonborn.”

“What? Dragonborn is changing to the Victoria Faction? Where did he get the Magic Stones? The fee for changing factions is 100 Magic Stones!” Bru asked in surprise.

“I’m not very sure. They didn’t talk about such things in their conversations. In fact, TakeASpearHit and SealHeadLingChong also submitted their faction change requests.”

Bru hissed and said, “What kind of a secret is there behind all of this? Is it the downfall of morality or the destruction of human nature?”

“I don’t know. The faction change must be related to Dragonborn’s trip to Victoria City. Whatever the case, our problem is solved. Raintea will be back soon. As for Dragonborn’s request…”

Sherlock muttered, “I think we can approve it.”

“As long as Lord Sherlock is agreeable.” Bru was subservient to Sherlock.

Sherlock nodded. Victoria City required veteran gamers to help in its development.

…

“Ai, that Arthur is despicable. How did he threaten you? Dragonborn, tell me, and I will expose him on the forum and ruin his reputation!” TakeASpearHit shouted angrily.

Dragonborn patted his shoulder and said, “Arthur didn’t ask me to change factions, it’s my own will.”

Dragonborn looked awkward, and SealHeadLingChong said, “This is pretty good. We have the money to go to Victoria City. The prospects are better there, and I like the Elf’s figure.”

“Ai, our equipment and Mana Skills are wasted, and we have to start from scratch.” TakeASpearHit sighed.

“You can pull out. With your pitiful equipment and Mana Skills, it’s not a big deal. The races of Victoria City look so much better, and it’s not so crowded. Even if we demarcate our land and build houses, d.u.c.h.ess Lilo won’t care. We don’t even have to apply so long as we keep our buildings off the road.” SealHeadLingChong said with antic.i.p.ation, “When I go to Victoria City, I’ll build a small Castle. n.o.body is to stop me!”

“You guys don’t have to follow me. You actually asked the entire Guild to acc.u.mulate the Magic Stones for us to change factions. That’s too…”

Dragonborn sighed and said, “Please retract your faction change requests. You have acc.u.mulated so much equipment, don’t you feel the pain?”

“We can’t let you go there alone without any friends, that would be pitiful. Arthur thinks that he can do anything he wants in Eternal Kingdom, and we can’t deal with him here. Therefore, we’ll go to Victoria City to deal with him!” TakeASpearHit said furiously.

“I said that Arthur didn’t give me the Magic Stones to change factions. When we went to see Raintea, he was friendly to me. It’s not him, don’t misunderstand him. I’m changing factions because I don’t want to make things difficult for Raintea. I thought it appropriate for me to go to Victoria City. Arthur didn’t threaten me,” Dragonborn repeated himself once again.

“If not Arthur, who could afford 100 Magic Stones to let you change factions? He must have threatened you.”

“Don’t talk nonsense, would Dragonborn be easily threatened? Dragonborn must have his reasons for not saying.” SealHeadLingChong appeared very wise.

While they were chatting, the words appeared in front of them:

[Your faction change requests have been approved. You will change factions three days later.]

The three of them looked at each other and said, “Shucks, that fast?”

…

The gamers of the Pioneer Alliance failed in their attempt at the Instance Dungeon. However, they survived until the last BOSS. It felt as though the Instance Dungeon was easier this time.

The First Beta Gamers left the Instance Dungeon exhausted.

“I’m going offline. I can’t take it…” Sylvanas was also exhausted. The time was almost midnight.

Before Sylvanas went offline, Arthur shouted at her, “Vanas, please stay back, I have a matter to discuss with you.”

Sylvanas perked up.
