George understood—this was a hidden quest.
Louise had said it, so it wasn't a secret anymore.
Besides... that feeling was just too good.
He looked at Louise's back as she bent over, pulling apart the Fish Dragon.
He stepped forward, leaned in, and put his hands on her breasts.
"Ah... uh... little George, stop, I'll tell you, I'll tell you..." Louise moaned and begged.
George squeezed for a while, then let go.
Louise's face was red. She huffed, "This is all your fault. If you die, it's not my problem, got it?"
"Don't worry, I'm not dying," George said, staring at her chest.
"Anyway, I warned you. If you kill Double Body and get the Mana Crystal from its body, you can use the Mana Crystal to turn into a Dwarves. Then you can go to the Dwarves and get them to make magic items and embed crystals." Louise said. "Also, when you're done with the Mana Crystal, give it back to me. I need it. Go!"
[Ding! Quest received: Kill Double Body!]
...
George left the golden gate and appeared in the Peacekeeper Office.
"Captain, great! We have Wraithroot herbs!" Dorothy opened her bag, excited and jumping. Her face was normally pale, but now it was red.
"Good!" George asked, "But why do you need the Wraithroot herbs? Is it just to finish the quest?"
Dorothy looked down. After a long silence, she slowly took off one glove and revealed a nearly transparent hand.
"Actually... I... I'm a half-Elf."
"Elf?!" Buck leaned in, shocked. "Did you unlock a hidden class too? Boss, what luck we have—three hidden classes..."
Dorothy shook her head. "Not a hidden class. My character has Elf blood. Only players in this northern part of Cologne Island are rare. I heard there are a lot of half-Elf players in the tropical maps to the south."
"Are you not used to this place? You need the Wraithroot herbs?" Buck asked.
Dorothy nodded, blushing, and glanced at George. "Elves live in the forest, and the forest gives us life. We don't have forests here in the north. I can't get life energy, so I... I wanted to..."
"Wanted to what?" Buck asked. "Just say it!"
"I... I wanted to... mate." Dorothy looked at George again. "With a man. That's how we get energy."
"I thought it was something big. Go ahead, do whatever you want!" Buck puffed out his chest.
"Pfft!" Dorothy blushed and spat. "I'm not mating with you!" She looked at George again, then added, "I mean... I just wanted to..."
"Do you need help preparing the herbs?" George asked. "If you do, I can help." He could ask Louise.
"No need," Dorothy whispered.
"Boss, haven't you noticed? Dorothy wants to mate with you," Buck grinned.
Dorothy turned even redder.
George rubbed his nose and said, "I just got a hidden quest. We're going to take down Double Body next."
He pulled out the Monster Encyclopedia and started reading about Double Body.
Dorothy looked at George. She suddenly felt a little sad, but to help out in the quest, she pushed down her embarrassment and leaned in to look at the Monster Encyclopedia.
Double Body: Monster, no level restriction, has a transformation skill.
Transformation: Double Body can turn into its opponent. After transforming, it not only has the same stats, skills, and weapons as the opponent, but it also keeps taking stats from the opponent. The opponent loses 20 mana per second and 30 health per second. The stats the opponent loses get added to Double Body.
Buck turned pale. "Boss, I finally understand why it's a hidden quest. This thing... it's not something a player can beat! Let's give up this quest, okay?"
"What do you think?" George asked Dorothy.
"I'm going!" Dorothy looked up at George and said, "Wherever the captain goes, I go too!"
George thought for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, then just the two of us!"
"Why me, Captain? You two are going to mate, right?" Buck looked upset. "Besides, I never said I wasn't coming!"
"It's not that I don't want to take you." George slapped Buck's shoulder hard. "If Double Body turns into you, it can dash around fast. How will I tell you from Double Body?"
"Then why can Dorothy go?" Buck wasn't happy. "At least I have speed. Dorothy has nothing."
George laughed. "If Double Body turns into Dorothy, I'll definitely tell the difference."
"What if it turns into you, Captain?" Buck asked. "Then it would just kill Dorothy in one hit, right?"
"That's fine," Dorothy smiled. "If I die, I'll come back to Cologne Island. Then I can find you again."
George shook his head. "So our goal is to make Double Body turn into Dorothy."
Then George kicked Buck out of the team and said with a smile, "Go, practice your stealing skills in the city for a while. We'll be back later."
George and Dorothy walked out of the Peacekeeper Office.
At the same time, every player on Cologne Island saw a message on their screen: Player George has accepted a hidden quest: Kill Double Body!
Below the message was the description of Double Body.
After reading it, all the players were shocked.
George and Dorothy had not even walked 100 meters when players inside the tavern and those wandering the city came out and ran toward George.
"George, take me with you, okay?"
"George, take me, we saw Double Body, let's team up!"
"The more people, the harder for Double Body to choose who to copy, George..."
"George..."
George didn't pay attention to the players. He flipped his hand, and a Dwarves Iron Hammer appeared in his palm. He held the Iron Hammer and looked at his hand. The players all felt the intense heat coming from the Dwarves Iron Hammer and saw the fire flashing from it.
"A magic item..."
"He already has a magic item..."
The players quickly stepped aside and no longer tried to stop them.
"Pfft!"
"Two people, and one is an alchemist. They're going to die!"
"Brothers, George is about to die. Attack the Peacekeeper Office and take it over!"
"Attack the Peacekeeper Office!"
"Attack the Peacekeeper Office!"
"Kill George!"
"Kill George across the map!"
The players had been rejected and acted humble in front of George, but as soon as he left, they became angry and upset.
Many of them knew about the Azure League on the big map outside of Cologne Island, and that the Azure League had taken over many Peacekeeper Offices.
The players were excited, but without clear news, they weren't ready to attack the Peacekeeper Office just yet.
...
"Captain, they have a point," Dorothy said as she stepped out of the crowd.
George nodded. "They do. But most of them are just here for the hidden quest. They won't put in real effort."
"But I can't help you either," Dorothy said, feeling guilty.
George smiled. "Who said that? The last time with the Dwarves, if it wasn't for you giving me healing potions, I'd be dead already."
"T-that was just luck," Dorothy lowered her head and followed George quietly.
As they left Ceylon City, Dorothy quickly walked back to George's side, but she hesitated to speak.
"What else?" George asked, thinking about how to fight Double Body.
"Captain, do you remember my ability?" Dorothy asked, her voice shaking a little.
"Of course I do. What's wrong?" George asked.
Dorothy looked at George and took a deep breath. "My Life Barrier can slow down the loss of health and mana in bad conditions. And... and..."
"What else?" George asked.
"And..." Dorothy's face turned red. She lowered her head and said, "If the captain wants, you can put your health and mana into my body first. Then, during the fight, your stats will be low. When Double Body turns into you, I can give you your life and mana back all at once. Then the captain can beat Double Body."
"Can you do that?" George was shocked. "How?"
"It's... it's done during mating. Then... then..." Dorothy looked up at George, pulled open her heavy cloak, and revealed her breasts—nearly transparent, with visible veins and small blood vessels under the skin.
So beautiful!
George couldn't help but swallow hard.
If the girl was this forward, he had no excuse to do nothing—then he'd be a pig.
George reached out and grabbed Dorothy.
Dorothy gasped. George held her, left the main road, and walked to the grassy area of the beginner map. He slowly put Dorothy down.
