After eating breakfast with the siblings and learning all of their escapades in the game, I went back to my room and logged back into the game to continue the quest of Queen Tanya and get to drive out Serbal's demons and monsters also slay Serbal too.

When I log back in, I materialized inside the inn of the village where I rested my character before I log out. As soon as I regain control of my body, emails appeared in my inbox, and some missed calls coming from Dolly. The dates of the missed calls happened during the time I logged out from the game to rest. Since she was already online, I decided to call her already and check up on what is the ruckus and why she called me so many times.

After waiting for a bit, her face appeared on the screen.

"Hey, Bladeheart! What is going on? Why you didn't respond to my calls?

"

"I was offline during the time you called. Why don't you check if I was online or not so that you won't blame me for something I didn't know, got that?

"

"Huh? You were offline?

" Dolly looked puzzled.

"Seriously, you didn't check did you?

"

"I didn't.

"

"...

"

"Okay, okay. It is my fault so don't be angry. Anyway, what I am trying to ask you over is an SOS for help. We needed some help over here on our side. We can't do this all by ourselves!

"

"You guys are adults now and there are also other players who also share the same quests with us which will help you guys complete some of the quests without my help.

"

"Seriously Bladeheart, these other players are all bastards and selfish pricks! They are just here to level up and explore the map instead of completing the game! They said that they never wanted to do any questing for a while.

"

I sighed at this problem and I read it on the forum about the questline and raid of the Sandurk being overly hard due to the incompetence of the players who participated and due to the lack of manpower, the enemy became too strong and if not for Queen Tanya's interference, the Sandurk Continent will be a goner. Never would I have thought that those rumors on the internet during that time were indeed real. If my assumption is correct, the Sandurk region might not be in bad shape if the raid quest was done correctly like how it should have been and has been completed before the enemy became much stronger.

"Alright, if the quest you guys are undertaking is not that troublesome to handle and can be completed without a problem, I might give some help on you guys.

"

"Good to know! Anyways, our quest is to annihilate both tribes that are camping in Southern Oasis and weaken the troops of Serbal the Jaw Lord.

"

Huh, it was a very good thing but I guess my struggle against Serbal won't be my burden alone since I hate fighting against him by myself. Their quest line is tied to my quest line so I guess they are lucky I am also on the way to slay Serbal.

"You guys should be thankful since my questline involves killing Serbal. If you guys are on the way to destroy their troops, you just called the right guy to do the job. Of course, this is not a job for free. I will be taking at least two drops from the elite enemies or bosses if we encountered one like mine. The rest of the drops are all yours, even the money is something I don't need so you guys can also take that too.

"

"That is fine too. We don't expect to get things for free so we already expected it.

"

"Okay, sit tight. I will be coming there in a jiffy. Where are you guys right now?

"

"We are just outside the tribe of the lizardmen with red skin. The leader of the tribe leading them is Beraka and he is currently wielding a spear with electric currents on his hands.

"

"Noted. Wait for me over there. You guys can provoke them but don't touch the harder enemies. If things get tough, be sure to retreat.

"

Before Dolly can respond or say anything, I ended the call and went out of the inn. Outside of the village, the soldiers are already doing some reconstruction of the village knowing that the demon threat in West Desert is already gone for good. The villagers who saw me walk past by are all cheering and greeting me. Some are even approaching and shakes my hand saying their gratitude to me.

It was fun and a bit heartwarming to receive some gratitude. Many of the children started calling me the Wolfhead Hero and although the parents were scolding their children about it, I didn't mind because I indeed have a wolf head mask in my head, it is pretty accurate but to be called a hero by the kids, it feels kind of awkward.

Not only do I receive praise but I also received some items like cookies and some other items like potions. Cookies and food items came from the little kids and they are already something I look forward to eating. Since this game stimulates your taste buds too, I can taste the cookies without a problem alongside the solution to my hunger problem if I ever feel hungry.

I went outside the village to leave using Leona but I saw Captain Ivona and Queen Tanya waiting for me outside.

"Hey there, Wolf Head Hero!

" Queen Tanya waved her hand as I went out of the village exit.

"Huh? Queen Tanya, Captain Ivona, why are you guys here?

"

"We are just saying our farewells for now since you are going to the Southern Oasis. Even though we didn't help much on this, we still feel indebted to you since you destroyed Moro without our help. At least, even with the farewells, you can feel our support too.

"

"I appreciate the gesture. And really guys, you already helped me a lot by evacuating the villagers which is already a good thing since if my attacks failed, I can rest assured that the villagers will be safe.

"

Captain Ivona smiled and she stood straight and salute.

"On behalf of all the knights stationed here, we honor Bladeheart for all the heroic act he has done to this village. Since you are departing towards a new danger, we send the blessing of good fortune to your adventure. May the Gods guide you in your journey!

"

"As for me, I will be joining you go to the Southern Oasis. Are you fine with that?

" Queen Tanya proudly grinned.

"As someone who defeated me in combat, I am quite elated for you to join me in this. However, I may ask, why are you alone going to Southern Desert? Where are your escorts?

"

"Escorts? Ha! Escorts are unnecessary for me! And I like adventures that I can do. If I can do it myself, why bother other people?

"

"You have a point, so I won't argue with it,

" I laughed.

"Anyways, are you going? I will be coming with you.

"

"Yes. But we are not going to walk.

"

"Huh? Are we going to ride a carriage?

" Queen Tanya looked puzzled.

"I have a much greater one compared to a carriage. Leona!

"

When I called her name, Leona got summoned in the sky and she roared that even the Queen was stunned by the appearance of Leona.

"No way! The legendary Gryphon of the myths and legends is still alive?!

"
