Goldfinch City is a colossal city, as well as the largest city in the entire game.

The city sits at the intersection of fertile rivers on the Tanzan plains. When observed from the outside, it appears as a somewhat lengthened rectangle from east to west, and somewhat narrow from north to south.

According to measurement data from previous world research parties, the city spans 9,721 meters from east to west, 8,651 meters north to south, with a city wall standing 12 meters high. Around 600,000 civilians live within the city.

Old Goldfinch City was extremely prosperous and affluent, serving as the political, cultural, and commercial hub of the entire Goldfinch Empire.

But now, as Su Yu rode Dima down the streets, he noticed the distressed and gloomy expressions on the faces of the residents on both sides of the streets. The entire city resonated with an aura of extreme desolation and stagnation.

This was closely tied to the circumstances at larger.

The rebel army from the northern lands of Kalet had already forced their way to Goldfinch City. Furthermore, none of the residents believed that the royal family could hold the city. A great catastrophe was about to fall upon every single individual in the city.

Su Yu, of course, could also feel this intense and solemn atmosphere.

However, he wasn’t from this world, so he wasn’t particularly empathetic. The only thing on his mind was to quickly complete his tasks and receive the rewards.

19 Berglit Street.

It was a three-story detached villa, accompanied by a not-so-small garden. Royal Guard Keledron of the Princess chose to live here when he’s off duty.

“Hello! I’m an adventurer and I would like to meet Keledron.

Upon reaching the entrance to the villa, Su Yu put Dima’s horse badge back into his bag and spoke to the two guards at the entrance.

“Greetings good sir!” One of the white-armored guards greeted Su Yu respectfully, “Our master has been very busy with official duties lately and has mentioned not receiving any visitors for some time. Your understanding is much appreciated.”

Due to Su Yu’s 2 World Prestige points, his standing was now equal to that of a baron. As such, the guards treated him extremely courteously.

“I am from Nolan Village.” Su Yu opened his bag and took out a letter, “This is a

personal letter from the village head of Nolan Village to Keledron. I hope you two could deliver this letter to your master.”

“Nolan Village?!” Both guards were surprised to hear this name.

Everyone in the NPC community knew that Nolan Village was linked to otherworldly adventurers.

“Very well, I will deliver the letter to our master immediately.”

The white-armored guard didn’t dare to delay. He reverently accepted the letter with both hands then jogged towards the villa.

5 minutes later, the white-armored guard emerged, with an even more respectful demeanor than before.

“Sir, our master awaits your arrival in the main hall!” The guard deeply bowed to Su Yu, almost bending his body to a 90 degrees bow.

“Alright, lead the way.” Su Yu made no change in expression as he followed the guard into the residence.

Inside the main hall of the first floor of the villa, Su Yu met Keledron.

Keledron was a middle-aged man with stern features and a square face, the kind of person who gave off a strong sense of righteousness just by appearance.

Due to being on his break, he didn’t wear armor but instead wore a simple blue silk dress.

As soon as Keledron saw Su Yu enter the hall, he promptly arose to meet him, “Hello, adventurer, I’m Royal Guard Keledron of the Princess!”

“Hello, I’m Nemesis, just a regular adventurer.” Su Yu shook hands with him. “I have viewed the personal letter from the village head.”

Keledron gestured towards a seat beside him and cut to the chase, “Star-forged Dragon King is a powerful leader of the Wind Chime Empire, and the number of people in our Goldfinch Empire capable of fighting against him is less than five.

“Yes, I know.”, Su Yu nodded.

“If it were in the past, both the Princess and His Majesty, the Emperor would surely take this formidable enemy seriously, but now…”

Keledron sighed, “As you are aware of the current predicament in the Empire, the rebels are almost at the Imperial City. Amid internal strife and external pressure, the Princess has too much on her plate, it’s somewhat unlikely for her to see you over this matter.”

“So, what do I need to do?”, Su Yu asked.

From Keledron’s tone, Su Yu came to realize something: Keledron was not reluctant to introduce him to the Princess; he was just looking to exploit this occasion for personal gain.

As expected, Keledron said, grinning, “If you could help me complete a few tasks, I’d agree to introduce you to Her Highness, the Princess. I’d also put in a good word for you, helping you gain her recognition.”

“For the Empire, I will spare no effort.” Su Yu stood to respond.

“No, no, no, it’s not for the Empire, but for a few personal errands of mine,” Keledron appeared slightly embarrassed by revealing this, but he quickly concealed it.

“Adventurer, the overall situation in the Empire is very bleak. The royal family will certainly fail to sustain Goldfinch City, even a three-year-old playing on the streets can see that.” , Keledron looked grave.

Su Yu simply nodded him without speaking and listened to him continue.

“Because the city is on the verge of falling, the capable officials and nobles within the city have already transferred all their assets elsewhere, and I’m no exception.”

“My family and assets have completely moved to Forest City in the west. Only this house beneath our feet remains. But due to the rampant banditry on the western road, it’s very dangerous. I’ve lost contact with my family for a long time.”

“Adventurer, are you willing to make a trip to Forest City to check on my family?”

With that, Keledron took out a personal letter and respectfully handed it to Su

“Ding! Your main quest line has been updated! [Glory of Goldfinch Empire (3/100)].”

“Task requirement: Deliver Keledron’s personal letter to Millie Keldron at 24 Moke Street, Forest City.”

“Task Reward: 2000 Experience Points, +1 Favorability with Millie Keldron, 100 Spiritual Energy Coins.”

“So it’s an NPC with ‘Favorability’?” Su Yu was slightly surprised.

The [NPC Favorability] was a gameplay introduced in the second expansion. The first expansion probably used it provisionally for the main storyline.

By increasing an NPC’s favorability, Once the favorability reaches a certain level, players can ‘win over’ the NPC, becoming friends and even getting married.

After getting married, you could even have children, who have a separate gameplay system. They could work, study, battle monsters… in summary, it was a very complex gameplay.

“Alright, I’ll make sure to deliver the letter.”, Su Yu took his leave from Keledron.

“I’m counting on you, adventurer!” , Keledron waved.

For the rest of the time, Su Yu was busy completing Keledron’s tasks, i.e., from the third to the fifth part of the[Glory of Goldfinch Empire]quest.

Despite repeated attacks and ambushes by bandits, he successfully delivered the letter to Millie Keldron; then he returned to Goldfinch City and continued to help Keledron in collecting information on the rebel army, retrieving illegal gains, suppressing opposition….

It took him four hours to complete all tasks.

Over at Millie Keldron’s end, there was also a sub-quest to increase her favorability, but Su Yu didn’t take it.

The reason was simple: she was too ugly.

“She looks exactly like the real-life ‘Ru Hua’. No wonder she wasn’t wife material in our previous lives.”, Su Yu lamented in his heart..
