Chapter 47 Matthew, the Secret of the Novice Village
Alan considered himself quite knowledgeable about the newbie village.
The NPCs in the newbie village were already dead.
He had never heard that David had a brother.
And yet, the resemblance was uncanny.
The person in front of him looked almost identical to David.
In fact, Alan was more inclined to believe that this was David resurrected.
"No one told you David didn't have a brother?" Alan asked.
"He does. His brother was originally the village chief of the newbie village. Unfortunately, on the first day he became the village chief, the previous chief, Daniel, didn't want to relinquish power. They had a conflict, and his brother was exiled to the wilderness."
Alan's pupils suddenly contracted.
The person continued, "Daniel was the previous village chief of the newbie village. I should be the current village chief!"
At this moment, Alan finally checked his attributes.
[Matthew (Silver): Level 20.]
[Health: 5,255,500/5,255,500.]
[Attack Power: 3,999.]
[Skills: ???]
[Note: Matthew, the village chief of the newbie village, David's brother. He was exiled from the newbie village after a conflict with Daniel and became the wilderness boss. He is plotting something extremely terrifying. Do not let him succeed, or you will face the wrath of the gods.]
Alan's face changed dramatically because this guy was classified as a wilderness boss.
Not only that, but he was also a silver-level wilderness boss with five million health points and four thousand attack power.
At this stage, he was an absolute powerhouse.
"So, you're Matthew. But I'm curious, what exactly are you plotting?" Alan asked. "Destroying the newbie village doesn't seem to benefit you."
Under normal circumstances, Matthew should be trying to regain power.
But now that the newbie village was already destroyed, his role as village chief was meaningless.
"I don't want to be the village chief of this newbie village."
"I want to become the husband of Princess Stellaria!"
Matthew said.
Alan's eyes narrowed.
He thought of Leona.
She was the Princess of Stellaria and happened to be in the newbie village.
"Leona is in the newbie village. You can pursue her directly; there's no need to destroy the village," Alan said.
"Of course, it's necessary." Matthew's expression turned ferocious. "Leona would never look at someone as lowly as me. To make her submit, she must need something from me."
Alan became interested. He knew he might be triggering a new storyline quest.
Matthew continued, "After I was exiled from the newbie village, I took two of the gods' blessings from the village.
"After leaving, I discovered Leona's existence and began planning."
Alan nodded. "Stellaria doesn't seem to have a husband. If you become her husband, you could potentially compete for the throne in the future."
"Exactly." Matthew grinned. "I didn't expect you to know about Stellaria.
"If Leona is released, she will leave from the resurrection altar. Therefore, the resurrection altar must be destroyed and rendered irreparable. Hence, Daniel and the others must die."
Alan's eyes narrowed, and he had a crazy guess in his mind. "You want to use this as leverage to force Leona to submit."
"Exactly." Matthew nodded. "Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress and the weasel are both my subordinates. The two quest scrolls were also arranged by me in advance, waiting for someone to help me kill Daniel."
Alan laughed. It turned out that all his efforts had made him someone else's pawn.
"So, what's your purpose here? Shouldn't you be looking for Leona?" Alan asked.
"Of course, to retrieve the quest scrolls." Matthew grinned. "I also want the gods' blessings. You should be content with receiving one blessing from the gods."
"Hand over the quest scrolls, and I'll let you leave."
Alan was a bit surprised. "You deliberately designed opposing quests to make your plan flawless."
"Exactly." Matthew nodded. "Now that you know everything, hand over the items."
"Of course, I won't give them to you." Alan grinned. "I'm leaving the newbie village anyway. At worst, I'll just get killed."
Upon hearing this, Matthew's face darkened. "Think about it. With your current Infamy Value, as long as I kill you, everything on you will drop."
As soon as he finished speaking, Matthew's figure turned into a blur, charging at Alan.
Alan also made his move.
An arrow was shot through the air!
At the same time, Alan took out three potions and drank them all.
Movement speed, attack speed, life stealing—all three attributes received a temporary boost.
[-13,358.]
A huge damage number appeared above Matthew's head.
Immediately after, a huge damage number also appeared above Alan's head.
[-10,000.]
Alan's eyelid shivered.
"Integer counter-damage?"
Integer counter-damage reflected the maximum integer value of the damage received.
This kind of counter-damage effect was at least fifty percent.
If the damage was exactly 100, it would be a hundred percent counter-damage.
With his over five million health points, this integer counter-damage mechanism made it impossible for Alan to fight against him.
Alan leaped up and landed on a steel wire.
Matthew said, "Trying to run now? Too late."
Upon hearing this, Alan felt something was wrong; his intuition told him trouble was coming.
Sure enough.
Above the cliff, the rock wall broke open, and a vine whipped towards Alan.
"Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress?!"
Alan performed a backflip to narrowly avoid the attack, but the steel wire was cut by the vine of the Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress.
Before Alan could land, he heard the sound of something cutting through the air from behind.
Claws scraped against Alan's armor, creating a shower of sparks.
At the same time, a damage number appeared above his head.
[-1,580!]
The damage wasn't too high.
Alan could still handle it.
But the current situation made his scalp tingle.
Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress and the Weasel were both extremely formidable at this stage.
In a one-on-one fight, Alan wasn't afraid.
Even if they teamed up, Alan could still handle it.
But with the addition of a silver-level Matthew, it became much harder to deal with.
Alan's expression grew serious. With the steel wire cut, escaping now was unrealistic.
"Ice King," Matthew said, "No need to waste time. Hand over the items, and we can still be friends. If I become the King of Stellaria in the future, I can grant you the title of Earl and the corresponding lordship."
Alan raised an eyebrow; he indeed had no reason to refuse.
The gods' blessings were good, but given the current situation, he had no chance of succeeding.
Unless...
Alan looked up at the cliff.
Snowflakes began to fall from the cliff.
The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped.
[You are affected by the cold, reducing your movement speed by 12% and attack speed by 12%.]
[You are taking frost damage and will continue to lose health.]
