"As expected, players," Victor mumbled as soon as he stepped outside of the manor. He saw small groups of people clad in armor and carrying various weapons like swords, warhammers, bows, guns, etc. Victor looked above their heads and saw the player tags, which allowed players to distinguish each other from NPCs.
"Lord Victor, these were the weird ones I was talking about. Other than being strange, they genuinely look like they came to help us," Edward whispered to Victor, who just nodded calmly as he looked at the groups of players.
As soon as he stepped closer, he could hear some of their conversation.
"How are you going to get the quest? I can't seem to find the NPC quest giver."
"Hmm, I think we have to get the quest from the Lord of this territory."
"How on Earth are you going to find such an NPC?"
"Do you think we need to sneak into the manor to get the quest?"
"Don't be crazy, any of the guards can easily kill us."
