Since the system became my girlfriend

Chapter 186 A Generous Death

Besides the experience points that allowed Su Rui to level up three times, the 100 gold coins he received also significantly increased his wealth.

Most importantly, Su Rui's reputation level with City Lord Daril jumped directly to Revered, which meant that City Lord Daril was no longer looking at him coldly. Moreover, Su Rui's reputation in the entire Xuanwu City now starts at Respected, making it much more convenient for him to buy things and do business.

"He's my brother! Thank you so much for saving my teacher!" Lord Daryl's way of addressing Su Rui had changed. Before, he would coldly call him "mercenary," but now he was calling him brother directly.

"This is what I should do," Su Rui said with a smile.

"Alright, now that there are no outsiders here, let me tell you about the unexpected discovery I made after being captured!" Grand Marshal Salo said after dismissing all the NPCs in the hall.

"Teacher, what have you discovered?" Lord Daryl asked.

“I’ve discovered… the Moraka Brotherhood’s infiltration of our kingdom is far greater than we imagined!” Salo said with a pained expression.

"Beyond our imagination? Could it be that even city lords have been corrupted?" Lord Daryl asked in surprise.

“It’s even more terrifying than that… I discovered that Marquis Valens is actually a member of the Brotherhood!” Salo said with a pained expression.

"What!? Marquis Valens?! This... how is this possible!?" Lord Daryl said in disbelief.

"Alas! I didn't believe it at first either, but he was the one who captured me!" Marshal Salo said, closing his eyes in anguish.

"Are you sure?" Lord Daryl asked again, after all, this matter was too serious. Marquis Valens was a high-ranking official in the kingdom. He was His Majesty the King's swordsmanship instructor and also the kingdom's prime minister!

“I can be absolutely sure! Although he was masked the whole time and didn’t use his signature skills, I know it was him! I’m not mistaken!” Marshal Salo said.

“This…this is terrifying…” said Lord Daryl.

"Yes, this is terrible..." Marshal Salo said.

"So what are you planning to do?" Only then did Su Rui find a chance to interject.

"Yes, teacher, what are your plans?" Lord Daryl asked, his mind also in turmoil, unsure of what to do.

"I've made up my mind, I'm going to expose him!" Marshal Salo said.

"No! This is too dangerous! And you have no evidence!" Lord Daryl immediately refused. Marquis Valens was the number one expert among humans. Even when Marshal Salo was at his peak, he was no match for Marquis Valens, let alone now that Marshal Salo's old injuries had not healed and new injuries had been added!

"No matter what, I have to expose him. I know my body very well now. I will never have the chance to return to my prime. Even if I could, I would not be his match. But I still have to go. I have to expose him. Even if I can't capture him, I have to make him leave the kingdom. His current position is too much of a threat to the kingdom!" Marshal Salo was clearly determined to die.

“Teacher…” Lord Daryl wanted to persuade him again, but Marshal Salo stopped him.

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more, my mind is made up!" Marshal Salo said.

“Teacher, since that’s the case, then I’ll go with you!” said Lord Daryl.

“No! You can’t go! Your soldiers can’t go either! You need to stay here and guard the territory. The kingdom needs you to conserve your strength!” Marshal Salo said.

“But… what about yourself, teacher…” Lord Daryl said worriedly.

"How can I be myself? Mercenary, would you like to witness this history with me?" Marshal Salo suddenly turned to Su Rui.

"Ding! Grand Marshal Salo has issued you an epic quest: Witness History! Accept?"

"Of course! Grand Marshal!" Su Rui replied immediately. Even without a mission, he didn't want to miss this historic moment, let alone the epic mission that was available!

"Alright! Then you will come with me! We'll expose that hypocrite and bring his crimes to light!" Marshal Salo said with a loud laugh, but his laughter was filled with sorrow!

"Ding! Mission updated!"

Witness history: Travel to the Royal Capital with Grand Marshal Sallo and witness the historic moment together!

Mission objective: Expose the crimes of Marquis Valens!

Task Level: Unlimited

Danger Difficulty: Unknown

Quest Rewards: 50000 Experience Points! 5 Gold Coins! 3000 Kingdom Reputation!

Special Reward: Unknown! How to Obtain: Unknown!

"Uh... I can't tell what this mission is about just from the mission description, but the reward is not bad!" Su Rui muttered to himself. Although the rewards of these missions cannot compare with the rescue of Marshal Salo, the difficulty is obviously not that great either.

After all, Su Rui had taken a shortcut when rescuing Salo. If he hadn't happened to be a wizard who could summon the dead, the Brotherhood members escorting Salo would never have trusted him so easily. If they hadn't trusted him, he wouldn't have had the chance to infiltrate their ranks.

With Su Rui's current strength, he has absolutely no chance of winning against a group of monsters who are at least level 50 or elite.

"Teacher, when do you plan to depart?" Lord Daryl asked at this moment.

"Let's go now. Prepare the teleportation array for us!" Marshal Salo said.

"Okay! Teacher! Have a safe journey!" Lord Daryl said after taking a deep breath.

Teleportation arrays are the main way to connect cities. However, to open a teleportation array between two cities, players need to have been to the other city first. Only players who have been there and explored the map can pay to enjoy this service.

However, because the distance between cities is too far, and the monster levels in areas far from cities are too high, it is generally unlikely that players below level 40 can reach another city.

But this time was different. Su Rui was currently on a mission, so he was essentially using Marshal Salo's teleportation array. Therefore, he didn't need to go to that unknown royal city first and then activate the teleportation array after the map was opened.

Led by Lord Daril, Su Rui and Marshal Salo quickly arrived at the teleportation array in the back garden of the lord's mansion. The teleportation array was already activated, and they could reach the capital of the kingdom by passing through it.

"Children! The future of the kingdom rests on your shoulders!" Marshal Salo turned to Lord Daril and said.

"Teacher...take care..." Lord Daryl's tears were already flowing uncontrollably. He knew that this parting was his final farewell to his teacher...
