The search for the lost necklace is one of the most famous quests in Gray Stains City, or even in the entire game, as the reward is one of the most valuable in existence, a property in the city.
Something like this is invaluable, even the smallest and cheapest ones are worth a lot of money.
As it is a public quest and anyone can take it, any Blood Race player can take it, as they may be lucky enough to find the necklace somewhere and receive the reward.
So, more than ninety percent know the quest.
Now, a high-level NPC from Gray Stains City who belongs to the Morgan family went directly to a player, so it's obvious that he has some valuable information about the necklace or even the necklace.
Curiosity reached its limit to know which of the two options was correct.
"I will only hand over the necklace to its rightful owner, someone called Lamya Morgan" He replied coldly without feeling afraid.
"!!!!!!!!" His words shocked the crowd, as it confirmed that he had the necklace, but the way he spoke was so rude that it could lead to severe punishment.
At the same time, envy and jealousy filled their hearts.
Any of them would have handed over the necklace and taken the reward without thinking twice, but why didn't Lin Yun do it? What did he want to do?
"Absurd!! A low-class being like you has no right to call our great matriarch by name. Soldiers, arrest this guy and throw him in prison" Eldan Morgan was furious upon hearing the name Lamya Morgan, only a small number of Blood Race members can speak such a name, and Lin Yun is not one of them.
To make his mood worse, the young man didn't hand over the necklace as he asked, so it was normal to want to punish him.
ding…
"You have been marked as hostile by someone with great authority, and you will not be able to use Return Scroll or Transport Stone."
Lin Yun wasn't even surprised by the announcement, as he already knew something like that could happen. He just stood there waiting for the soldiers to surround him and put on the handcuffs.
"I will be waiting for a visit from someone more competent who can negotiate better." He continued with his carefree attitude.
"…" The middle-aged man just gritted his teeth in irritation watching Lin Yun being taken by the guards to the prison.
Quickly, the rumors spread to the four corners of the city until they reached the other families and even the most influential nobles of the Morgan family.
Passing through the main streets of the city, the crowd of players and NPCs look at Lin Yun in astonishment and pity.
The news had already spread and the players knew the reason for the arrest, some felt sorry while others laughed.
A player being arrested is one of the rarest scenes to see, as everyone knows the rules of never offending an NPC, but it seemed like something very serious was done because an NPC with a title is accompanying the player alongside the guards.
So everyone wanted to know who the unlucky one was.
Quickly, forum posts and videos spread like wildfire.
The whole world knew that a player was arrested in Gray Stain City, but who was he? The black clothes and mask hide his identity, even his name was hidden to avoid problems.
The only thing they knew was that he found the necklace, but didn't give it to the NPC to complete the quest.
Is there something hidden? What could be happening? Only Lin Yun knew the answer.
The prison was at the north end of the city, exactly inside the mountain.
There were held the dangerous prisoners of the city or kingdom, and some of the most dangerous criminals the Blood Race has ever seen.
And Lin Yun is being treated as such.
In one of the darkest cells, he was thrown there like any other criminal.
Without a single light, the prison is completely dark, it couldn't even see the other cells or prisoners, just hear their voices and moans of pain and madness.
Occasionally, chains are dragged across the floor while crunching sounds are heard.
It's like hell without light, just the sounds make anyone have the worst thoughts possible.
ding… ding…
"You were arrested for committing a serious crime. The sentence is six months."
The system rang for him.
"I guess I just need to wait a little." The young man closed his eyes waiting for something to happen.
Just as he expected, in less than five minutes, another group of Morgan family members appeared in front of his dark cell.
The soldiers open the way for a beautiful and elegant middle-aged woman dressed like a pure noble maiden to pass, unlike Eldan Morgans, the woman before Lin Yun had a reddish hue beneath her semi-transparent skin. The name Selina Morgan, the Lady of Death, appeared on top of her head.
The two big, sharp eyes look at the young man casually sitting on the chair trying to see through him, but nothing is seen.
"Do you have what we're looking for?" Her melodic and sweet voice did not match her somewhat distinguished appearance nor her cold expression.
"If you're referring to the necklace, I guess so."
"Not only that."
"The skeleton? I also took it in case anyone wants to take it."
"Where is it?"
"Bank"
"Give me the two items and you can have your reward"
"Like I said before, I will only hand it over to someone named Lamya Morgan."
"Follow me" She showed a brief strange gleam in her eyes before deciding to wave her hand, the cell doors were opened.
The conversation between the two was quick and direct, without the need for detours.
Selina Morgan didn't have time to waste on random things, so she spoke as directly as possible and Lin Yun responded in kind.
ding…
"The punishments are over, you can use the Return Scrolls and Transport Stone" The system rang.
"It seems like the Morgan family has smart people" He commented casually as he left the cell.
"If you keep talking nonsense, you'll go back to your cell" The comment angered the woman.
"…" Lin Yun just shook his shoulders and followed behind.
Seeing the lights outside the city again, the young man felt as if he had spent several days inside the dark prison.
Players and NPCs begin to gossip again after seeing the same player leaving prison and following another NPC of high influence and authority in Grays Stains City.
More videos and comments appear on the internet about the subject.
The most talked about topic is about him being the newest player to get a property within the game.
Even after almost a year after its release, only a handful of players have achieved such a feat. The quantity is so little that it can be counted with both hands.
These players are spread across the world.
In Gray Stais City there was still no player with property and he could be the first.
The group escorted Lin Yun to the Federation Bank, a foreign bank with branches in every city from small to big in the world.
The young man removed the two items and was escorted back to the Morgan mansion under the crazy looks of the players, they understood that the necklace was in the bank and that it would now be delivered to finish the quest.
The first player to get a property in Gray Stains City has finally appeared.
