Alantina Online: The Greatest Sword Mage Reborn As A Weak NPC

--AN) Two more chapters are still coming!--

Maybe it was the fact that the person turned into particles of light that frightened Alice, Vance did not know, but when he looked at the spot where the player had died and saw a few copper coins lying on the ground and the fact that he got ten experience points just from killing him and realized, that maybe his system was much more different than before. Because, as a player killing a normal NPC would not grant experience. But here, he got experience by killing a player. He turned to see Alice still staring at the spot the player was in and sighed. He walked over and pulled her into his arms. "You will be fine. Trust me."

Alice slowly calmed down and sank into Vance''s arms, and nodded. "Mmm…."

After calming Alice down, he closed the door and removed the traps he said up. He, of course, did not forget to pick up the four copper coins on the floor. After all, money was money. One thing he did wonder was what were the odds of a player suddenly banging on his door? Of all the doors in the inn, they came and banged on his. After thinking for a bit, Vance decided to change locations. He felt this incident was kind of fishy. "We will check out of the inn today. We will find another one later on."

"This… Okay." Alice did not ask any more questions. If Vance decided to end things here, then she would follow along.

"For now, we will be more open. Let's go visit your uncle. After that, we will go train more." Vance decided the thing he needed most at this time was information. He needed to know the current state of affairs all around, and he also needed to unlock his other elements. He also needed to take some time to gather ingredients for potions. Because potions were not easy to get at the start of the game. You only had the five you had in your inventory, and after that, you either had to make them yourself or buy from others. But the formula for the health potions would not be out for a while. While you could buy certain potions from shops and black market dealers, the health potions were all tightly guarded by the Church of the Holy Saint.

It was not until the potions began selling on the streets that the church finally took action and began selling them to shops at a cheap price. After all, the ingredients were already very easy to find. Most people thought they were just weeds and ignored them. So even if the church sold at a low price, they were not losing any money.

Vance and Alice both left the inn and headed toward her uncle's house. They were walking, so it would take a while. The guards that were paid off to keep an eye on things never even noticed them walking off as they were only looking for a girl with pink hair.

It took almost two hours to reach Alice's uncle's estate. When they got to the gate, the guard quickly came forward to block their path. Vance and Alice had already decided to let Vance do the talking, so he stepped forward when the guard yelled out to them: "Halt!"

"I am here to speak with Henry. Can you please report to him that Vance and Alissa are here to speak with him?" Vance came up with a name that was close to Alice's name in how it sounded. He hoped Henry was a smart man and could figure this point out.

The guard who questioned him turned to another guard and nodded his head. "Hurry in and tell His Highness!" The guard nodded and quickly rushed into the estate.

A while later, the gates opened, and Henry himself walked out. He did not walk to Alice but over to Vance since he did not wish to cause any suspicions. He walked over and shook Vance's hand in a friendly manner. It was just that this firm handshake was enough to make Vance wince in pain. The damn man was taking out his grudges on him! "Vance, good to see you again. Come. We can talk inside. I brought a carriage to the gate."

Vance did his best to keep a straight face, and he said: "I thank you then. Haha…."

"Haha!" The two men laughed, but if you looked closely, there was a bit of a rivalry going on.

Alice only stared at the two in confusion but still kept quiet. Soon the three were on the carriage, making their way to the main house. "So tell me. Why did you two come here?"

"Information. I am sure you noticed the new people appearing out of nowhere." Vance did go into detail. He did not want anyone to know what he knew for the time being.

"Ah yes…. We do not know where they are coming from, but they are arriving in the millions. For the time being, we can only call them other worlders as we do not know their origins. But after talking with my brother, it seems that this might all have something to do with the church. The church is being very secretive as of late." Henry replied with a long sigh. "Not only me but also Alice's two brothers have been busy working on this issue. So I do not think Edward will be making any moves soon. In fact, I planned to get in contact with you both today."

Henry paused and looked at Alice. "Your father said you can follow your own path. But before that, you must help dig out the misdeeds of your brother. And also…. Vance, he wants to meet you as well. You can meet him in three days' time. After all, you are the man stealing his daughter."
