Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 428

Chapter 428 Aura Skill Book Reward!
Early in the morning, Xu You walked happily to the forbidden area of the palace. He successfully killed the orc general and completed the only hidden mission given by Emperor William. Naturally, he would come to receive the reward. What kind of reward would such an epic mission receive? Xu You was looking forward to it.

However, Xu You wasn’t in a hurry to find Emperor William when he finished his mission in the early hours of the morning. Emperor William should be asleep at that time and wouldn’t pay him any attention. As a result, Xu You couldn’t sleep all night and was excited until dawn.

No, just as it was 7 o’clock, Xu You impatiently entered the game and arrived at the forbidden area of the imperial palace. What was slightly surprising was that Old Man Chen was already waiting for him at the entrance of the imperial palace.

“Brother, I told you that you would definitely be able to complete this mission. Congratulations.” As soon as Old Man Chen saw Xu You, he immediately welcomed him warmly, causing some of the players passing by to feel curious and stop to watch.

At this moment, Xu You must have done his disguise. Hearing Old Man Chen’s words, he smiled happily and replied, “No, no, this mission is not simple. If it weren’t for my opponent’s inadequate preparation and underestimation of my opponent, I wouldn’t have been able to complete this mission so smoothly.”

“Brother, you are still so modest. Regardless of whether the enemy is underestimated or not, as long as you treat him seriously, you will definitely not fail. Your Majesty has the same opinion as me on this point.” Old Man Chen said with a smile.

“This is all because Brother Chen and His Majesty overestimated me.” Xu You waved his hand, looking flattered.

“Haha, who wouldn’t love someone as handsome as you, brother?” Old Man Chen’s sarcastic words made Xu Youhua feel cold. He still didn’t know why Old Man Chen treated him so well. His kindness was even more exaggerated than Xu You’s parents’. He even gave Xu You a luxurious mansion and invisibility powder. To be honest, Xu You was very suspicious of this guy’s sexual orientation.

“Brother Chen, I have a question that I have always wanted to ask.” Xu You couldn’t help but ask while everyone was in a good mood.

“Oh? If you have any questions, just ask. As long as I know, I can answer them. I will definitely tell you.” Old Man Chen patted Xu You’s shoulder and said affectionately.

“Well, Brother Chen, do you like men?” Xu You made up his mind that as long as Old Man Chen showed a strange expression, he would immediately stay three meters away from this old man and take a good bath when he returned!

However, when Old Man Chen heard this, he did reveal a strange expression. However, he was confused and stunned. Seeing Xu You’s cautious expression, Old Man Chen suddenly came to a realization and said awkwardly to Xu You, “Uh, brother, I naturally like women. I also know why you have such thoughts. I should tell you if you have a request. However, please move, we’ll talk about it after we enter the palace.”

Xu You stared at Old Man Chen for a while before letting out a sigh of relief. He nodded in agreement. There was a tendency for the nearby spectators to increase. It was better to enter the palace.

As a result, the two of them entered the palace. The onlookers could no longer gossip and could only slowly disperse.

“Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it. I will definitely help you if I can.” Hearing what Old Man Chen said just now, Xu You roughly understood that Old Man Chen must have something to ask him for help. Furthermore, it was something that he couldn’t do personally because it was more troublesome. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given Xu You that kind of thing. He would have “curried favor” with Xu You first.

“Alright, but before you say anything, I hope that brother can promise me that you will keep this a secret for me. Other than you knowing it yourself, don’t tell anyone, including your confidante.” Old Man Chen’s expression was solemn, but there was a trace of prayer in it.

Seeing this, Xu You immediately nodded solemnly. As long as Old Man Chen didn’t have a peek at his body, Xu You would be happy to make this NPC friend. After all, Old Man Chen had already helped him a lot.

“Then thank you, brother.” Old Man Chen actually had a grateful expression, which surprised Xu You.

After pausing for a while, Old Man Chen continued, “Actually, I want you to go to the Ice and Snow Fortress and help me find out about someone.”

“No problem, this is very simple.” Hearing this, Xu You immediately nodded and happily agreed.

“Brother, listen to me first. The person I want you to inquire about is called Shirley. She is an orc. She is Rudy Merville’s wife.” Old Man Chen’s expression became awkward.

When Xu You heard this, he immediately felt a chill run down his back and into the chrysanthemum. Then, he rushed towards his forehead from the chrysanthemum and muttered, “Brother, you … orc … I… I…”

Old Man Chen smiled bashfully and said sadly, “I know that you will look down on me, brother, but I just like Shirley hopelessly. Although she has married a woman, I still can’t forget her.”

“But she’s Rudy Merville’s wife!” Xu You couldn’t understand Old Man Chen, but it wasn’t that he didn’t understand the mysterious human-beast relationship. After all, dwarves and dwarves could fuse together. What was strange about humans and orcs? What he didn’t understand was how Old Man Chen fell in love with the woman that Emperor William wanted to kill.

“That’s why I asked you to sneak to the Ice and Snow Fortress, Get me her whereabouts, His Majesty cannot know about this, Otherwise… Actually, Shirley and I met 20 years ago, She saved my life and took care of me until I recovered. From the moment she bandaged my wounds, I liked her. But then I followed His Majesty for five years and after the war ended, she was married to Rudy Merville, who killed His Majesty’s eldest son. ”

Hearing this, Xu You was sure that the main reason Emperor William wanted him to kill Rudy Merville was not because the orc general had joined the Abyss Devils, Rather, it was to avenge his son. Furthermore, this matter of revenge should have been planned long ago. Otherwise, Old Man Chen would not have “bribed” him so early. The past hatred between these royal races truly made Xu You sigh.

However, he wasn’t very interested in this either. What interested him was the “mission” that Old Man Chen had given him. So, he asked, “Brother, what do you want to know about this Shirley? Do you want me to find out her whereabouts?”

“Well, I want to know if she is still in that orc’s mansion. How is it going? Rudy Merville is dead, and she no longer has any support. Perhaps, perhaps” Old Man Chen’s expression became hopeful.

However, Xu You didn’t think that things would develop as Old Man Chen did. After all, Shirley was the wife of the general. Although the orc general had died, it was impossible for her to remarry. However, Xu You could not bear to hurt Old Man Chen. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry, brother, I will do my best to help you find out the whereabouts of Shirley. Just wait for my good news.”

“That’s good. Brother, do you still have enough Invisibility Powder? I’ll give you some more. It’s very inconvenient to go to the Ice and Snow Fortress to secretly investigate that matter without Invisibility Powder.” Old Man Chen’s face immediately lit up.

“Alright.” Xu You smiled and agreed, but his heart was somewhat gloomy. What if things weren’t as beautiful as he had imagined? What should Old Man Chen do?

With a slightly gloomy mood, Xu You went to Emperor William’s study and saw him.

When Emperor William saw Xu You, he revealed a joyful expression and took the initiative to say, “Wuyou, you really didn’t disappoint me! Thank you so much!”

“There’s no need for courtesy, King. This is what I should do.” Both Xu You and Emperor William knew that there were some things that could not be said, and there was no need to say them.

“No, I must thank you and give you the corresponding reward!” Emperor William walked to the bookshelf and began to flip through the items. He continued, “You are the disciple of the Aura King. Logically speaking, you do not lack the Aura Skill. However, the world is vast and there are more than ten million Aura Skills. I collected a book on Aura Skills before and gave it to you. You should have never learned it.”

“Ah? Thank you so much, King!” Hearing this, Xu You’s heart immediately lit up. Skill Book! Another skill book! Furthermore, it was a Halo Skill Book. Xu You couldn’t wait any longer, so he couldn’t wait to help Emperor William look for it.

But when Emperor William looked around, he suddenly muttered, “Eh, why can’t I find it? I remember five years ago, the skill book was clearly on the shelf.”

At this moment, Emperor William finally had the shadow of an ordinary person, not a high and mighty monarch. But after hearing Emperor William’s words, Xu You would rather this guy was a smart and omnipotent emperor. Damn, how could you forget where the mission reward was?

“Cough cough, Your Majesty, if I’m not mistaken, you brought that skill book to the table one day four years ago.” Old Man Chen gave a dry cough and reminded Emperor William.

When Emperor William heard this, he suddenly let out an “oh” sound and bent down to play around under the table for a while. Then, he took out an old skill book with a yellow cover and handed it to Xu You.

Xu You was once again excited. He took it and looked at it, only to see that it was written with the [Detective Aura Skill Book] written on it.

“[Detection Aura]? It won’t have the same effect as [Detection Aura], right?” A bad feeling suddenly arose in Xu You’s heart.
