Chapter 135 Killing Queen Susan!
Isaac waved. He remarked, "Go on, I hope you can go further."
Alan nodded, stepped forward, and left that instance.
As Alan exited, Bold Snow ran up to him outside.
"Ice King, you're amazing! You actually cleared it," Bold Snow said.
Alan smiled. He boasted, "Piece of cake."
Alan's haul this time was pretty good. Besides the free attribute points, the equipment and skills were decent.
However, the gear and skill books dropped by these wild monsters were useless to Alan.
Most of the skills were related to attack power and magic strength, but Alan could almost ignore those.
As for the equipment, his Ninefold Longbow could be replaced, but Lysandra's old residence didn't drop a longbow, so it couldn't be swapped out. Other gears provided some improvement, but not much.
It could only be used as backup, for when needed.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way." Alan had no tasks he could take on directly.
He had to wait until he completed King Rex's task.
It was the fifth day, and in two more days, King Rex's task would be done.
But just then, a server-wide announcement blared.
[Server-wide announcement: Queen Susan has committed treason and attempted regicide. She has now escaped Starcity. A bounty is hereby issued: kill Queen Susan.]
The server-wide bounty task was released, and Alan checked it immediately.
[Server-wide bounty: Queen Susan attempted regicide, a bounty task is issued.]
[Task requirement: Kill Queen Susan.]
[Task penalty: None.]
[Task reward: Free attribute points +500, class-specific golden set +1.]
Alan was tempted.
The reward was pretty good, five hundred free attribute points. If Robert got them, it would be even better.
But with Robert's current strength, could he kill Queen Susan?
The answer was almost certainly no.
Even though Alan had previously helped him gain high attributes, dealing with Queen Susan was still very difficult.
However, if Robert couldn't do it, he could.
Of course, compared to killing Queen Susan, Alan was more interested in the pre-quest scroll for the Blessing of the Gods that Queen Susan held.
The catch was he needed to find Queen Susan first.
After leaving Mad War Territory, Alan saw that they had already started gathering people.
From their looks, they were planning to kill Queen Susan.
Whether it was the five hundred free attribute points or the class-specific golden set, the attraction was high among players.
Especially since Blade Warrior had once obtained a golden set, Alan had a good understanding of the attributes boosted by the golden set.
Not only the Berserker Guild, but other major guilds also started to take action.
In Ragnarok, nurturing a peak player was very important.
This was evident from Ice King.
A peak player could easily maintain a leading position.
Alan also started to take action.
Since Queen Susan had already made a move, it was highly likely she would go to the Netherworld.
After all, Queen Susan had always had connections with the Netherworld clan.
Alan quickened his pace towards the entrance of the Netherworld.
As Alan neared the entrance to the Netherworld, he spotted a disheveled figure.
It was none other than Queen Susan.
Queen Susan saw Alan and frowned. She asked, "Ice King. Did you take the bounty to kill me?"
Alan smiled. He explained, "Yes and no. I'm more interested in the pre-quest scroll for the Blessing of the Gods you have."
Queen Susan frowned. She retorted sarcastically, "As expected, you're different from other players. You want something bigger."
"I can give you the pre-quest scroll and even let you kill me for the bounty," Queen Susan offered.
Alan squinted. When the benefits are this big, the difficulty is usually high. He asked, "What do you want?"
"Kill King Rex within half a month," Queen Susan replied.
Alan's expression changed. He questioned, "Are you so sure I can kill King Rex?"
"Not sure, but if you can't, no one can," Queen Susan remarked as she tossed the quest scroll to him.
[Task requirement: Kill King Rex within half a month.]
[Task penalty: Punishment by the gods, experience required for leveling up multiplied by ten.]
[Task reward: Free attribute points +1000, Netherworld Longbow +1, Blessing of the Gods +1.]
[Accept?]
Alan was surprised. The reward was pretty good.
"As long as you accept this task, I'll let you kill me," Susan said.
After a moment's thought, Alan nodded. He agreed, "Alright, I'll take your task."
He dared to accept it because he had some confidence. Plus, he wasn't afraid of the task penalty.
Maybe the tenfold experience requirement was outrageous for other players, but for Alan, it didn't matter.
He didn't have a high demand for levels, and leveling up was easy for him.
So he wasn't worried about failing the task.
Seeing Alan accept, Queen Susan smiled. She said, "You can kill me now to get the bounty."
Alan was slightly surprised, not expecting her to be willing to sacrifice herself.
"You've already escaped. If you insist on entering the Netherworld, I might not stop you," Alan said.
Queen Susan smiled bitterly. She remarked, "I have no value left. Even if I return to the Netherworld, I won't have a good end. So, I might as well enhance your strength as much as possible."
Alan smiled. He said, "Your Majesty is noble. In that case, I bid you farewell."
With that, Alan raised his hand, and arrows rained down.
Queen Susan didn't resist, but it still took Alan ten seconds to kill her.
[You have killed Queen Susan. A server-wide announcement will be made. Do you want to hide your name?]
"No," Alan replied.
[Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to player Ice King for killing Queen Susan. Reward: Free attribute points +100, special equipment +1. This is a notification to all players to keep up the good work.]
After the announcement, Alan's eyes lit up in excitement.
It actually rewarded special equipment.
Alan knew that even the golden set like Blade Warrior's was just a transitional item. At some point, it would be replaced.
But special equipment could potentially be used for a lifetime!
