"A Memory Fragment as a reward?"
Su Xuan's gaze sharpened the moment he saw the special reward for the first available commission.
Judging from the mention of the key character, Roxia, he deduced that this was a new commission spun off from the special quest he had just completed.
Moreover, the difficulty of this quest had unprecedentedly reached E-Level, while the other four commissions were only F+.
Correspondingly, its rewards were also far greater than the other quests'.
Beyond that, there were also two character quests.
One of them was Ivsha's character quest: The Succubus Nun in the Church!
The other new character quest came from Rosaline.
Her character quest hadn't been fully unlocked. Because his favorability with Rosaline was only at 60, he would need to raise it to unlock the quest.
But what confused Su Xuan was that Rosaline's character quest seemed to be related to her family.
And the name that kept appearing—Roxia—seemed to have an intricate connection to Rosaline.
'Since there's a time limit, I can prioritize finishing this quest.' After quickly browsing all the commissions, Su Xuan decided to complete this E-Level one first.
He glanced at the sky outside the window. There were still two or three hours until nightfall.
Judging from the quest description, it seemed to be a commission that would take a long time, not one that could be quickly finished by simply killing a monster or gathering some materials.
'I'll go get a basic understanding of the situation first.'
Su Xuan made his decision. He planned to head to the quest location for some simple reconnaissance to prepare for the task ahead.
But before setting out, he first had to level up Ivsha.
He still had 700 points left in the Experience Pool, just enough to raise Ivsha to Level 5!
Level up!
When Su Xuan tapped the level-up button, Ivsha's level instantly rose to LV 5.
A comfortable white light gently washed over Ivsha's skin, and a thrilled look sparkled in her eyes. The corners of her lips curved up slightly, forming a charming and seductive smile as if she were savoring the wonderful moment.
Su Xuan frowned slightly at Ivsha's reaction.
'Is this how someone is supposed to react to leveling up?'
'Ivsha is becoming more and more like a Succubus!'
'Wait, no!'
'She's a Succubus to begin with!'
"Thank you~"
Ivsha even made a point to thank Su Xuan.
The effortless switch between charm and elegance made Su Xuan's throat feel a little dry. He subconsciously wanted to find something to drink...
"Ahem!"
Su Xuan cleared his throat and said, "While it's still light out, let's go scout the next quest location."
"As you command~"
They followed closely behind Su Xuan and stepped into the Teleportation Array together.
With a flash of light, Su Xuan was instantly transported to the quest location.
This quest location was completely different from the previous ones, which had all been desolate and uninhabited areas.
Shallows, deserts, a village engulfed in flames.
But now!
They had been teleported to a prosperous and flourishing city. Before them were all sorts of buildings, and the bustling streets were filled with carriages and people coming and going.
Patrolling soldiers occasionally passed by but didn't notice Su Xuan and his party in a corner of the street.
"So this is Sunset City? It's really prosperous."
Su Xuan walked out from the corner and onto the wide street.
Although the architecture was Western medieval in style and lacked elements of technology, he could still feel the charm of its culture.
Moreover, the existence of Magic meant the city's productivity wasn't too far behind.
"Mr. Su Xuan, this quest's target, Knight Roxia, is the heir to the Yerman Clan. We should be able to find her easily by asking passersby," Ivsha said softly, gazing at the vast sea of people.
"Commissions like this usually have a client."
Su Xuan shook his head and explained, "We just need to wait at the designated meeting place."
"Oh, I see. And where is the meeting place?"
"A coffee shop on the west side of the city. It should be nearby."
As they spoke, Su Xuan had already located the coffee shop and began walking toward it.
They entered the coffee shop, found a quiet corner to sit, and waited for the client to appear.
But their arrival immediately attracted the attention of the other patrons. People cast curious glances their way, and some couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
This deeply confused Su Xuan. 'We shouldn't be drawing this much attention, right?'
He had even changed into medieval-style clothes specifically for this.
'The Undead Oath Knight, Rosaline, is completely encased in armor, which should hide her Undead identity. And Ivsha looks like an ordinary Nun. So why are they attracting so much attention?'
Just as Su Xuan was pondering this, a beautiful noblewoman in a bouffant dress entered the coffee shop, gracefully waving a rose folding fan.
The coffee shop was generally filled with the town's wealthy, so Su Xuan's party, with their unusual attire, was naturally spotted by the noblewoman at a glance.
But when she approached Su Xuan and saw Rosaline sitting beside him, her beautiful eyes widened in shock!
She was too stunned to speak!
"Hello? Ma'am?"
Su Xuan's brows furrowed. He was completely bewildered by the client's reaction—she was just standing there, frozen like a statue.
'Could it be because of Rosaline?'
"Ro... Rosaline? Is that you? Rosaline?!"
The noblewoman asked Rosaline, utterly shocked. She looked in disbelief at this person, long believed to be dead, who had now appeared right before her eyes.
Her voice trembled slightly, revealing her inner turmoil and confusion.
But Rosaline gave no reply to the noblewoman's question.
She just sat there quietly, her gaze fixed on the coffee on the table, lost in thought. It seemed her current state didn't allow her to eat or drink; even if she consumed anything, it would probably just leak out.
"Rosaline..."
The noblewoman's elegant brows knitted together, confused by Rosaline's indifference.
"Ma'am, she is not the Rosaline you knew," Su Xuan reminded her.
"You're right... Rosaline passed away ten years ago. Even if the armor is similar, how could a dead person be resurrected!" The noblewoman sighed softly and sat down across from Su Xuan. "My name is Natasha. I am a friend of Roxia's mother. I've commissioned you in the hopes that you can help Roxia become an Oath Knight."
"What exactly do you need me to do?"
Su Xuan asked directly. He knew nothing about the selection process for an Oath Knight, so he hoped to learn more from someone in the know.
"You just need to protect Roxia's safety during the selection trials the day after tomorrow. I'm afraid someone might try to harm her in the arena," Natasha explained.
"Alright. Do you have any idea who might want to harm Roxia?" Su Xuan asked.
"I don't know who they are, but I know they've issued a similar commission! They want to stop Roxia from becoming an Oath Knight!"
