Chapter 5: A Growth Type Inner Armor

As the two of them walked around the town, peasants who saw them would greet him politely.

As for what exactly they thought about William, no one knew.

Gods was a game.

However, the great part of this game’s mastermind was that every NPC was unique. They all had their own thoughts codes. Everyone had their own life and even had their own ideals and families.

That was why it shouldn’t be assumed that William would be able to enjoy his position as the Lord after he inherited it, nor that everyone would be mindless and be extremely loyal to him.

After all, they were all intelligent in their own ways and were all not easy to deal with.

Even the children of normal NPC families would start fighting over food and toys.

At the start of the game, many players still remained within the nations and as the Princes fought for the crown, they might unleash a main mission.

He still remembered that one of the main missions in the Legendary continent version 1.0 was about the fight between the Iron nation and Black Lava nation. The reason for the fight was because the King of the Black Lava nation had died and the Princes were fighting for the crown, which led to the Iron nation’s invasion of the palace and eventually resulted in a war that lasted for a year.

Too many things were caught in between and if they weren’t careful, it was easy for the players to give their lives.

However, players could revive, so they were never scared! There were many ways to do things, and dying was just one of them! That was why many players chose this way. It was a normal thing for players to give their lives rashly!

Since it was a game, there was definitely a need to kill monsters. However, the monsters usually gave ingredients. There was never a tiger boss who gave equipment or armor.

After players killed with beasts and monsters, they could only take their teeth, fleece, organs and other pieces. From those, they could choose to sell the ingredients and make their equipment.

When the game was still in beta, there weren’t a lot of players. During the first version, there were only a few hundred thousand players in Hua Xia and the game threw all of them within the territories of the Iron nation and Black Lava nation without any reason.

Several players were even thrown into the Border Town beside the two nations.

However, the first version was only a year-long, though this was the game time, in the real world, it was only three months.

The William from the previous life seemed to have detected the war between the two nations and wanted to benefit something out of it. However, it was obvious that it wasn’t that easy from how he had been suppressed and attacked by all sorts of power from the Iron nation within six months and ended up with his head being hung by the waterfall…

In his previous life, some of the players who passed by would even admire this ‘Lord’s’ brave skeleton skull from afar.

Even if he had many pure-blooded Elfin guards with high-leveled bloodlines, and had a devil hunting ranger with Epic bloodline like Lautner, he still wasn’t their opponent.

“That was why tall buildings and extensive grain accumulation makes a slow and weak King!” William Blackleaf sighed as he glanced at the tall but crooked and torn houses within his territory.

“What did you say?” Lautner scratched his ear as if he couldn’t hear William properly.

“It’s nothing. How much grain and gold are we left with?” The corners of William’s lips tugged as he started to change the topic.

“We still have about thirty thousand kilograms of grains left, amongst which, we have the most rice and malt. We have quite a bit of salted meat as well, probably a good twelve thousand kilograms. As for our gold… Do we have gold?” As Lautner said this, he started to go into a roundabout.

William Blackleaf was extremely shocked. “This is a small town at least! There isn’t a vault at all?”

Lautner nodded awkwardly. “Indeed, we don’t have one, because the town’s income hasn’t been very high. When your Father was still in position, there was still an iron mine for our people to mine.

“However, now that iron mine has finished and we still aren’t able to find other income sources. We’ve been relying on the small amounts of meat the hunters give to us, as well as the taxes the humans give from their farm work. It’s good enough that the town’s finances aren’t in the red!”

The corners of William’s lips twitched. He really wanted to ask if they had tried searching for one before.

He could vaguely remember that the reason the Iron nation and Black Lava nation attacked the Border Town was not only because they wanted to remove them, but more because there were a lot of rare raw resources found in the Blackleaf Forest at the south of the town!

That also meant that in the woods to the south of the Border Town, there was a giant mine!

One of the most important resources was the mythril ore found early on!

He even thought that it was probably this that had resulted in the total elimination of the Border Town.

“Let’s not think so much. Uncle Lautner, do you have time? How about we go hunting in the mountains and relax.” William knew the position of one of the mines. It wasn’t too far away, but he couldn’t say it directly either, so he could only use the reason for hunting to draw Lautner there.

As for the mythril ore, it was still not the time…

He had to say.

Ever since he had the attributes page and could see others’ loyalty level to him, he didn’t need his mother to worry about his choice of miners anymore.

“That’s good. Seeing that you’ve been in bed for so many days, it’s time you go train yourself. Go back and prepare your equipment and bow and arrow. It’s best if you wear the inner armor your Mother left for you, in case of any accidents.” Lautner didn’t think too much about it. After all, the old William loved hunting, especially the prey that was nothing and ordinary…

“Hm, that’s a good idea. There are a million ways to die, so staying safe was the most important.” William returned to his treehouse and searched in his wardrobe. Finally, he found his equipment in a box.

There was a white standard sword.

And a bow that was also white standard.

The attributes of the equipment were really bad, and using them was equivalent to not using them. Besides, since William had yet to change his occupation, he couldn’t use anything too good either.

However, that inner armor was great.

William couldn’t help but admire it.

It was a soft inner armor made of mythril. The veins of the world tree covered it, as the silver sparkled slightly with a golden hue. Without looking at its attribute, William already knew that this was a treasure.

Introduction: This is an inner armor made by a mother for her son personally. Not only did this include a grand mother’s love, it even had the pleasant blessings of a mother to embrace the inner armor!

William Blackleaf sat on the floor in a daze, his hands holding onto the inner armor tightly. Suddenly, he didn’t really know what to do.

It was then that he realized.

He realized how much his mother in his world cared for him.

As for the William from his previous life that passed away during the war, he was sure that he brought it upon himself. If not, even if the sky had fallen, this mother named Alice Blackleaf, would definitely come and save him.

“A mother’s love is great. If I have the chance…” William shook his head. He was still too weak now, so he couldn’t think too much about anything. Lasting until the end was the main key.
