John looked at the blond NPC before him, feeling somewhat dazed.
He had not expected his reputation to be so great now.
Even the City Lord of Eaglecrest City had personally come to apologize and welcome him.
John waved his hand slightly.
"There's no need for this. We are all human. This was our shared duty."
The City Lord of Eaglecrest shook his head repeatedly.
"A duty is one thing, but this is another matter entirely.
"Your strength is so formidable that you are by no means an ordinary person.
"If someone else possessed your strength, they might have long since removed themselves from worldly affairs and lived freely beyond the mortal world.
"Only you, sir, still care for the human realm.
"Such great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten by the Eaglecrest Empire.
"If there is ever anything we can do for you in the future, please do not hesitate to command us!"
Hearing this, John smiled faintly.
"As it happens, there is something I need help with."
