"Don't start thinking that was all fake just to make you think elf society is perfect." Vulxis said before continuing.
"While elf society is not perfect it is far better off than any other race, even my own Draconian." At this point Vulxis stopped for a moment and looked sad before pulling herself together and continuing.
"Elves generally do live very good lives, there is no poverty in their kingdom and the majority do indeed love the royal family because they do so much for them."
"It's just as I said, if given the chance to move up a lot would take that chance, however those that follow the likes of Natures Guardian are in the minority."
"Also don't forget that Natures Guardian targets the younger elves who are just starting out in Genesis, he focuses his guild benefits on the things most young individuals can't refuse, a good time at parties and satisfying their carnal urges.
"Queen Tanelia did some of her own investigating after the information you gave Alea and quickly found out that apparently one of the top women in his group runs a very popular brothel in Asyath Serin and they pay the women who work there to reward the guild members."
"It is only over time that he manages to bind them to his guild in some way that is still being investigated, only young and new members like that Kieran you asked the questions too, can get out without serious repercussions in Altantia, though I expect Natures Guardian will want him punished in Genesis."
There was silence for a moment as John thought on what Vulxis had told him.
"Anyway, enough of this topic, it's time for loot." Sarah said, changing the subject before she bent down and touched Gujjab since he was closest to them.
As Sarah touched Gujjab notification windows popped up in front of all three of them.

"Only two items?" John asked, surprised.
"Yeah, that's pretty standard for normal rank enemies." Sarah said before asking.
"I'm guessing you never killed a npc before?"
John shook his head before replying.
"Only Vulred a corrupted Druid, when I did it transported me to the Emerald Enclave and then the Druid's knocked me out, so I never got to loot the corpse."
"Ah that explains it, the way npc kill loot works is different to player kill loot." Sarah started to explain.
"When you kill a player you attacked first the system automatically selects your loot you will receive, however when you kill a player who attacked you first, you can select any one item from there loot table, this loot table normally includes everything there carrying except, money which you automatically take ten percent off, soulbound items, miscellaneous items such as gathering and crafting tools and quest items."
"Npc's are different, to stop the Genesis economy from being flooded with gear and loot the number of item choices available is determined by the rank of the npc like I mentioned before."
"Normal rank npc's like these four will normally only give us one or two items to roll or pass on as well as any quest items, such as the insignia we automatically got."
"Got it, so basically I select either roll or pass, correct?" John asked,
"Yup, though I suggest for the leg piece we both pass since neither of us can wear it and Vulxis selects roll so she can use it when she hits level fifteen, if she doesn't get anything better before then."
"Ok." John replied before selecting and notifications appeared.

"Ok so for this one I and Vulxis will both pass on the belt since I can't use it and it's leather so even though she can use it her defense would drop so she would only select it if the bonus stats are way better than what she has now."

"Oh, so the loot does not always include the weapon." John said as he noticed it was two pieces of gear this time.

"Oh, come on." John said as he threw his arms up in the air.
Both girls laughed out loud before Vulxis said.
"How can anyone be so unlucky, all three rolls at less than ten."
John sighed before saying.
"Let's just move on, I will win next time."
"Sure sure." Vulxis said with a smile as they moved towards the room's exit.
There was nothing else in this room apart from a few boxes the bandits were sitting on before they barged in, so they went through the door on the opposite side of the room that was open and entered another corridor.
The corridor was empty though it did have four doors, two on each side before a fifth door at the other end.
"Left or right first?" Sarah asked with a smile.
"Right." Vulxis said.
"Left is it." Sarah said, sticking out her tongue before proceeding to the first door on the left.
Vulxis rolled her eyes as John chuckled while both following Sarah.
No sound came from the other side of the door, so Sarah pushed it open, and they saw.
An empty room, there was nothing in here except a few cobwebs.
"Well, that's a letdown." John said.
"Told you we should have gone right." Vulxis boasted.
"Sure sure." Sarah said before crossing the hallway to the other door.
This time they heard the obvious sounds of snoring coming from inside the room, so signaling for them to be quiet Sarah slowly pushed open the door.
