The duke's mansion. In the main office, Wesker sat in front of Risa while they both had afternoon tea.
The hall was quite clean, with everything neatly arranged on the table and the drawer shelves around. There were a bunch of gold carvings on the wall depicting strange shapes.
On one side, there was an empty space from which Risa had removed the previous duke's portrait, making the room look a little odd in that aspect.
"Are they the ones you were waiting for? Your reason for being here?" Risa asked as she looked across the window at the 5 players looking around the garden with an excited look.
"Yup. What do you think about them?" Wesker asked with a rather curious smile. Surely she must have some interest in these other-worlders that spawned out of nowhere.
"My honest opinion? They are weak. I can see that even a normal civilian can kill them with ease. They might be immortal, but I don't know if they can even be useful or not. The only reason I am interested in them is because you are." Risa took a sip from her cup before turning back to Wesker.
"Is that so?" Wesker smiled as he nodded at her. Given how this world works, a weak immortal that can be killed by ordinary civilians wasn't worth compared to what this world has to offer.
I mean, even gods, angels and other beings that are near immortals exist here. Whether it's the Seven Sins, or the Saints, there are beings that are much more interesting than the players.
"Well. Now, to the main topic, I need you to send a letter to the main capital. I have been thinking of this for a while, but I should start doing as well," Wesker spoke, making Risa curious as she asked,
"What letter?"
"Letter for expansion. I want to take in the area on all the sides of the city, at least 5 more miles," Wesker smiled, while Risa raised her eyebrows at him.
"You do know that Border Town is only 5 miles from one side to another, right? You are more than doubling the city... and that's not counting the fact that you are talking about 2 kingdoms."
"Don't worry. You just need to send the letters. I will do the rest of the work." Wesker knew what he was doing.
There are a bunch of things that are defined in Zarraf. One of the things is the difference between a settlement, village, town and a city.
Risa chuckled, thinking about what would happen to him. Meanwhile, Wesker was all smiles hearing that the duke was coming back.
"He is? That's nice. I was really thinking that I am making you work more than what you should and you might need some rest from time to time as well."
Risa first looked at Wesker, before she sighed as she looked at Wesker,"well. That is also not a bad thing."
And then she smiled evilly at what Wesker was insinuating.
Wesker then talked about a couple more things regarding his plans with the town and the surrounding forest. Took about a couple of hours before they reached a conclusion. Wesker then bid her farewell and moved to the garden where the players were relaxing.
"How was it? You guys like it?" Wesker asked, looking at the players as they turned at him with a thankful gaze.
"Thank you, kind sir. May I know who you are?" Iamcute asked as she looked at Wesker with a grateful smile.
"I am just a normal worker here. I was on a trip to get some paperwork done. Would it be all right if I ask you guys to help me out with that?" Wesker asked with a polite tone, before giving them a small quest.
Their eyes lit up as they looked at the contents of the quest before immediately nodding at him. Nobody rejects a quest from a high leveled NPC. Why? Because they are chain quests that lead to greater quests in the future.
From that point, Wesker then took them towards 'Everyday Arrays', which was on the verge of being closed. It was already evening and Leena and Anna wanted to take a break for the day. If not for Wesker, they would have already closed the shop an hour ago.
Reaching the shop, Wesker found Black Scythe, Tinkerbella and Raven standing there. From their looks, they had just reached the shop as well.
Black Scythe moved forward towards Wesker, giving him the information that Nvida passed on before the quest was completed on their part.
Giving it a bit of a thought, Wesker then asked them to come with him too, along with the 5 players who were beside him.
It was about time Wesker began the 'main scenario' quest of Border Town that he prepared for the beta players. With this, the name of Border Town and 'Wesker' should become famous in the eyes of the players.
