Chapter 124 - The Queen

It was not in my plan to immediately gain an audience to the queen. After all, it would be a good idea to befriend her if you are already well equipped and has already explored most of the map of Sandurk as she has some of the insane quests available that I can rank them as a way to reach the end game.

Not only that, once you get to befriend her and she will treat you like family, you can trigger one of the Legendary Quests that leads you to find the Heroic Tier Weapons, Cadeusus and the Scepter of Titania. The former is a weapon for Clerics and the latter is for Magicians. It is a good weapon and if you succeed on obtaining them, you will become one of the famous players to the NPCs as obtaining those weapons will grant you large amount of reputation and influence.

Players who will be late to obtain will not despair as the quest line will change and will allow the players who didn't earn the original to earn the replica. Not only that, the replicas are unique tier and is comparable to the original, only a lot weaker though. But those who want to at least gets stronger, this quest line is a very good choice to join end game players.

I am not worried about those things that a new player should be worried about since not only do I know the quest lines and every location quests are being held, I can also fly in those locations without getting harmed by the other enemies and will allow me to breeze everything.

Someone else took those weapons out and become famous, however, I am not a saint to allow them to get the Heroic weapons. I needed them the most to get ahead of my enemies and surpass them before they can establish their own reputation. If I obtain them, getting influence and reputation is now a breeze and there is a chance the Versatile Weapon is hungry enough to eat them. I have been wondering what will happen if I feed the Versatile Weapon a Heroic tier weapon. Maybe the stats will jump up really high if it was fed with one.

Passing through the grand hallway covered in gold and silver, I arrived into a grand door. The two guards bow to me before pushing the big doors open.

"Her Majesty, the queen is waiting for you, Pioneer."

I nodded in response before heading inside the throne room.

The grand throne room is very luxurious to the eyes as the pillars are covered in gold and silver while the floor is decorated with gems. Many might say that the queen is boasting but that isn't the case. She is showing off her power and her abundant resources to anyone who enter the throne room to intimidate anyone who is a potential enemy. But this is an old view to me, I don't feel anything on it anymore.

Proceeding the throne room, servants lined up carrying large fans with gold designs in them and is slowly flapping them as I get near the throne room. I slowly stopped when I am around 7 meters away from the throne as it is the how you give respect to the queen.

Guards stand tall in front of the throne room and carries large lances and shield. These guards are Kapar and Lakris, personal guards of the queen. I fought with them in the past and they are not someone to be underestimated as they can easily dispose you if you are not careful.

On the throne room, the covers that hides the queen slowly opened by the servants and the queen appeared before me.

If players adds a tierlist to the prettiest and sexiest girls in the game, the queen will be part of the tierlist though she can't beat the first spot that has been taken by the Goddess, Titania but she holds a very stable spot in second place and it's not an exaggeration.

She wears a black regal robe with gold and silver which is patterned exquisitely to emphasize her sexy and voluptuous body. She gives out a very mature aura and natural sexiness that even a straight woman will fall head over heels for her.

I did not bow and face the queen, I just stood there and greeted. This might look like I was disrespecting the royalty but I know the behavior of the Queen the most. I do not need to be formal.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. I am one of the Pioneers who were sent by the Goddess, Titania to solve the problem of the Sandurk Continent."

The queen yawned as she lazily chew a grape given by a servant to her. She slowly look into my direction and she was surprised to see me not even bothering to give respect to her.

"Huh, it seems like the Pioneer that came to us is somewhat a disrespectful one," she said while yawning.

"I don't do any pleasantries as this is clearly the first time I talked to you. If you wanted me to talk to you respectfully, then it should be earned first."

The queen composes her posture on her throne and stare at me, scrutinizing my every movements.

"Young man, I gave you ten points for that. To think someone understood what I wanted the people to do."

[Your Friendship with Queen Tanya has risen]

As expected, this is how you raise Queen Tanya's Friendship points.

"I heard that the situation in Sandurk right now is a little bit complicated that you have to manually control the situation to avoid the crisis from getting worse," I said, starting the topic.

"Yes. Situation with the other borders of Sandurk is getting worse as time goes by. It is getting troublesome for me that reports of the situation is getting piled up from all my vassals. The demons and the monsters invading is also a big problem already and now, a huge dragon of darkness has taken a large portion of the Sandurk lands."

"Dragon of Darkness?"

"This dragon recently appeared outside of our borders last month. It was seen to have destroyed a forest that was a main source of lumber and some specialties in Sandurk. It was a big blow to the nearest city situated to the forest and they have to move and to avoid the wrath of the dragon."

"Since this is our matter of concern, we would not be just letting an outsider do the solution of our problem but we are in very dire need of help. We needed the fighters that were chosen by the Goddess, Titania."

"If you wanted my services, I will be willing to give my services as long as it is reasonable. It is the duty of a Pioneer after all," I answered.

"I see. You must be very strong for the goddess to choose you. If that is the case, prove it to me that you are able to satisfy the needs we currently needed."

Then, a quest panel appeared before me, detailing my quest for the queen."
