Chapter 17 (1/2)

Encountering such a quest that could only be completed by 10,000 people in “The One”, it was a given that Reyker would not let it pass him by.

He immediately stepped into the dungeon, and a pleasant female voice rang in his ears — “The quest Murderous Witch has been activated”.

Just then, the environments around suddenly changed. The bonfire behind him suddenly extinguished.

Then, the calm river suddenly started bubbling up.

The originally dilapidated little treehouse became brand new in an instant, and a dim light shone from the window.

The sound of a woman humming a fun song came from above.

Following this, Reyker heard the sound of footsteps coming from afar.

To prevent the visitor from discovering him, he looked around and directly jumped into the river.

Hiding his body in the river, Reyker hid his head behind a huge rock.

A count dressed in high-class clothes walked out of the forest.

Although Reyker had never seen Count Hilder who was mentioned in the letter, he was sure that the person in front of him was most likely to be the Count.

The Count walked up the stairs to the treehouse, the creaking sounds echoing in the empty forest.

The singing of the girl in the treehouse also came to an abrupt end.

At this time, the man suddenly disappeared into thin air.

Everything returned to the moment when Reyker first arrived, and the treehouse became dilapidated again.

[Quest: Find the Truth Fragments(0/?)]

[You can submit this quest and start the plot at any time, but the number of truth fragments will determine the truth you see next and the final outcome.]

As expected of an exclusive quest. Not only did it not mention any useful information, it did not even tell the players how many truth fragments there were.

This was equivalent to directly putting the players in a psychological game.

How many clues did you have to find before you could see the truth of the world?

Reyker got out of the river and began to search through the woods where Count Hilder had come from.

With his sharp eyes, he immediately noticed the thin thread hanging on the branches of the bushes not far away.

He ran over, and as soon as his fingers touched the thin thread, a notification sound rang out.

[This is wool from the Inner Mongolia Plateau in Sky Province. Due to its extremely low yield and strong warming ability, this wool had always been sought after by the upper class.]

[Truth Fragments(1/?)]

After reading this, Reykel squatted down and began to check the footsteps of Count Hilder.

After observing five of his footsteps, there was a notification again.

[The boots from the Barhod Family of Holy Maiden City are famous for their handmade durability.]

[Truth Fragments (2/?)]

Reykel then checked every spot that the Count had passed by one by one.

Unfortunately, he did not trigger any truth fragments again.

However, this made him feel relieved.

In truth, when he had discovered two truth fragments in a row in the beginning, he was feeling panicked.

This was because he was afraid that the number of truth fragments would be designed to be a large number, for example, 30 or 40.

If that was the case, it would be easy for players to miss one of them, and for Reyjer, who had OCD, that would be torture.

If he found out that later on that he did not discover all the clues, he would definitely feel very uncomfortable.

After checking the ground, Reyker walked up to the treehouse.

Just as he went to open the door of the treehouse, a message popped up.

[Exclusive quest is in progress. This scene is not open for the time being.]

Just as Reyker was in a dilemma, the sound of footsteps could suddenly be heard from outside.

At the same time, a man shouted.

“I’ve finally found a bonfire!”
