"You completed it!"
Elder Lonely couldn't hide his astonishment. "Stonehaven, you made it to Millbrook Village and killed the Soul Vase Ghost?"
He genuinely couldn't understand how Marcus had done it so quickly. Based on his own estimates, it should have taken more than three hours just to reach that remote village. Yet this knight had not only made the trip, but also finished the mission and returned within that same amount of time.
"How did you manage that?" the elder asked.
Marcus grinned when he saw the old man's stunned expression.
'And that's with me taking my time. I even stuck around to celebrate with the villagers and showed my girls the recording of my heroic performance.'
Honestly, he probably could've squeezed in a bath too.
Out loud, he simply said, "I got lucky."
Then he got straight to the point.
"Elder Lonely, can you level me up now?"
The elder was still shaking his head in disbelief.
"How did he do it so fast..."
