Digging Deep into the Backstory

The next morning.

Angry Little Pig started his live stream early. Many viewers knew that he and Changli Jiugu were going on a mission with Legendary NPC, so they were naturally curious to see how the two of them managed to hook up with a boss of this level.

As for the Bullet Commentary, they were all just nonsense and vulgarities...

"PY, it must be PY, are these two selling their asses?"

"Get lost! Even if those two go and sell themselves, my handsome City Lord is definitely not that kind of person!"

"Yes, yes, he's not human, he's Half-Elf ~ Hehehe."

"I knew Changli Jiugu was good at boosting NPC favorability, could it be that he got it through connections?"

"Waaaaah, the train is running, waaaaah, Jiuge is screaming, waaaaah, it hurts so much, no, no~"

The Live Stream Room was filled with laughter and joy, but Changli Jiugu secretly glanced at the Live Stream Room and his face turned ashen. He couldn't be sure that Little Pig had spread this news.

But he did indeed lick the boots of many NPCs in the past...

There's nothing I can do!

In the era of computer games, Player would shower NPCs with gifts!

For example, if you're giving something to a beggar, you would give them steamed buns... 100, 1000...

Giving money to the waiter is like giving him money away...

To please a refined young lady, you'd definitely send her flowers and all sorts of props that could make her more beautiful...

In the semi-virtual era, Player would fawn over NPCs as long as they could find words that the NPCs could understand.

As for the virtual era, with the updates and replacements of games, NPCs have developed thought systems that are no less advanced than those of normal people. At this point, the usual methods of flattery are no longer effective. However, some Player have reached the pinnacle of their flattery skills towards NPCs.

The ability of someone like Changli Jiugu to successfully unlock two Hidden Class in two different virtual games is truly extraordinary...

So when his past scandals were brought up again, he could only endure it.

What else can we do?

Anyway, it's impossible for someone to learn my licking skills by exposing them; it's absolutely impossible in this lifetime.

The two had been waiting at the city gate for a long time. Half an hour later, they saw the City Lord coming to greet them. William was dressed in light gold armor, which seemed to shimmer with Thunder. The long sword on his back and the Short Sword at his waist were full of heroic spirit.

The morning sunlight seemed to accompany them, its handsome glow causing the two to squint, unable to look directly at each other...

However, the two bodyguards beside William once again caused the Live Stream Room to boil over!

It's none other than...

The official executor of Lotner, and also the Deputy City Lord Odom Heavyhammer!

"Holy crap, holy crap, this is inhumane! The City Lord, with just two henchmen, is already Epic Boss? Why does it suddenly feel like a cabbage?"

"This is Fatty's Live Stream Room, revealing the background of the mysterious Dawn City faction. Other Live Stream Room have only discovered one Epic-Class NPC so far, they can't compare."

"The City Lord so handsome, the guild leader is so handsome, William is so handsome, let's get this going, form up!"

"The City Lord is awesome..."

It's clear that those viewers who keep reciting the formation are determined to join the Dawn Mercenary Group.

Or rather...

The repeater is the essence of humanity...

However, there's no way around it; so far, only William has been the most frequently featured high-level NPC on camera. Especially since there are too many bosses in Dawn City, and they're all concentrated in one place, it's impossible for eager Player not to notice this Live Stream Room.

William really wanted to say, "I'm so sorry, it's not that there aren't Legendary Boss elsewhere. There are five Legendary NPCs in the two Human Duchy combined, but they're not like me..."

The second day's Live Stream Room had made Angry Little Pig a huge hit.

His headline was in particular: 'Following Legendary Big Shot on an adventure!'

"Following him, tsk tsk." William had secretly glanced at him once, and he always felt that this fat guy was unusually sleazy. He hadn't noticed it when he was Player, but now that he was an NPC and the target, he realized that these Streamer were anything but ordinary...

William saw no need to waste words with the two Player, so he nodded to them and led them into the mountains.

I once wanted to venture into the mountains and forests, but for ordinary people, going anywhere is fraught with hardship.

But now, three straight, sturdy dirt paths lead directly into the forest. William had no intention of taking them into the mine; instead, he was heading to Rainbow Lake. Nothing more than a stroll, a bit of showing off...

Rainbow Lake has now undergone significant development, with a dock built and more than twenty fishing boats casting nets all day long, which has somewhat improved the quality of life in Dawn City.

Of course, due to the current limited fish catch, ordinary Commoners rarely buy them; it is usually soldiers or officials with higher salaries who purchase them.

The feudal system is different from the Nobles system.

The key point is that when the lord dies, the territory perishes!

The entire territory relies on the lord's influence to control everything, which is why the disappearance of the previous mayor of the Border Town threw the whole territory into chaos, and so many people fled...

This lord model only arises in a world where individual strength reigns supreme.

As for the official positions he bestowed upon some people, it was just like the power held by company executives; the power they wielded was granted by the lord, and he could take it back with a single word.

The Nobles system, however, resembles the system of bestowing titles upon kings in ancient Chinese history.

Nobles owned their own territories and their own retinues.

Grand Nobles were the King's attendants, but their loyalty was to the Grand Nobles Grand Nobles, not the King.

A strong King can get the whole country running smoothly, while a weak King can only collect meager taxes.

A nation is not so easily destroyed. After all, the title of regicide is not a good one. As long as the prince can control the followers and power that the King once had, it is not too difficult to gradually regain control of the country.

But...

The lord is dead, but his son won't have it so easy...

The key reason is...

The lord system: the strong prevail.

Without his 500 loyal Elven Royal Guard, William would never have been able to conquer the Border Town.

Fortunately, William didn't think about his descendants; he was content with just being awesome himself...

"How's the business with Blue Moon Town going lately? Has that spoiled princess caused any trouble?" William asked Odom, the deputy mayor in charge of logistics, as they walked down the street.

Odom shook his head. "Mithril production has increased significantly recently, and trading volume is quite good. Her Princess hasn't given us any trouble either."

"That's good. I wonder how that little girl is doing." William shook his head with a sigh.

"Your Highness ... um, why doesn't the City Lord go and take a look?" Odom seemed to have misspoke and quickly changed his tone, his words carrying a hint of evasion.

Changli Jiugu and Angry Little Pig exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise. Neither of them had expected that another news story would emerge!

Princess?

Your Highness?

Legendary identity?

Numerous Epic-Class subordinates?

Could he be considered the BOSS's personal Personal Guard?

"I'm speechless. Is this the pre-ordained protagonist of the story?"

"Dawn City Unveiled: Could City Lord William be a Prince?"

"And it's related to a certain princess?"

"My God, if I don't enter Dawn City, I'll chop off my own penis live on stream!"

Seeing the Bullet Commentary, the Angry Little Pig secretly sighed, thinking that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this Legendary Boss might indeed be the Version Protagonist.

It's just a game, after all.

There needs to be a main storyline, versions, and a protagonist for a particular version. Of course, there might not be just one protagonist; there could be multiple protagonists. But even so, it won't stop people from fawning over William.

There's already a discussion thread dedicated to William.

Title: What Status Will City Lord William Hold in the Future?

Some of them went so far as to dig deep into William's information.

Floor 1: "William Black Leaf, Dawn City Lord, leader of the Dawn Mercenary Group, has four Epic-Class subordinates, three Magical Beast pets, and an estimated troop strength of 2000+."

Hiding your identity, Your Highness???

Hidden Connections: Princess???

Other identities, connections, and capabilities are unknown!

Race: Half-Elf.

It's probably impossible to deduce the plot from scratch, since Player can't possibly deduce the story based solely on information released by the official website.

But William is very likely a prince from some kind of Elf tribe or kingdom.

What is also certain is that Legendary-Class NPCs will play a significant role in future Main Quest.

In short: Just lick him and that's it!

2nd floor. "2nd floor, tell everyone, simps deserve to die a horrible death!"

3rd floor. "I despise the 2nd floor! I'll remember your ID. If you ever dare to go to Dawn City again, I'll make sure you regret it!"

4th floor. "Stop fighting! Stop fighting! Please stop!"

5...

Thank you to Luo Jiayi, Dark Shine, and SX Ash for the generous donations.

We are trying to change the writing style. Not all Player will join Dawn City; some like William, while others prefer other factions.

I'll update twice a day, no more than that. I have very few favorites, and if I write more, I'll be stuck without a recommendation spot.

Thank you for your support.
