Vol 4 Chapter 7 (1/2)

ACT 7 Dark Brotherhood

‘Here?’

20 minutes after he left Cairo and walked up the hill, a cabin appeared

He used ‘Stealth’ to observe through a

As expected, the NPC nah level for other people, he couldn’t compare to Ark as level 90 and receives a bonus attribute in the darkQuest difficulty E

It took 90 levels to perform one difficulty up

However, it wasn’t a simple quest where he could rush in blindly

It usually required killing the target to receive a key that would open a warehouse and retrieve the goodsHowever, he couldn’t kill Lorenzo and he couldn’t even use a swordIn other words, he had to find out the whereabouts of the goods first

‘I had previously encountered thieves in the ruins… ‘

After surveying the structure of the cabin, Ark said to Sid

“As expected, there is a back entranceIf one is backed into a corner they h the back entranceTherefore Sid will block the back doorIf blocked by a body on the outside then there is no particular danger”

“Yes, I understand”

Sid answered in a tense voice and went back

‘Now, this fellow recently held poison’

If you block the escape of a level 80 NPC then they would have nothing to build a strategyInti and if that doesn’t work then a little bit of violence is okay

Ark immediately kicked the door and entered the cabinLorenzo as surprised, tried to stand up

“You, who are you?”

“I will not speak for long Where are you hiding the stolen goods? ”

“The stolen goods? What are you talking about? ”

“It is useless to feign ignorance I already knowJust tell et hurt”

“What, what?” Thief? Who said such a silly thing?”

“Who is it? -Wolkosu Wouldn’t you knoho Wolkosu is even if I didn’t explain it?

It was at that time At the mention of Wolkosu, Lorenzo’s forehead violently twitchedThen his eyes anxiously shook as he sighed

“Wolkosu……!”

Lorenzo ground his rowled

“I don’t knohat inspired such nonsense but I didn’t steal anything! Go back! If you don’t return then I’ll beat you to death

“Oh, a beating to death?

Ark laughed and nodded his head

“That’s the ive it a try ”

“This child!”

Lorenzo kicked the chair and rushed at him

He tried to use the distraction of the chair to attack It was a fahtHowever for juvenile delinquents alked a dark road, it was a ive an element of surprise

Ark caught the chair and kicked sideways The next moment his fist shot out in rapid succession in a flashArk’s specialty was continuous critical hits!

“Kuoooak!”

He delivered blows to the chest, waist and side, after being hit with three critical attacks Lorenzo moaned and withdrew

Although Ark did not use his sword for attack and defense at the sarowth system of the Cat Paws, his offensive poas currently 9~15 (+89)

In some ways, it was better than a swordIn addition, Ark had also learned Sword-Hand Combat and Hand-to-Hand Combat, so he had no reason to be penalized by the absence of a sword

Lorenzo’s health was quickly reduced to 30

“Ugh, this, unbelievable!”

Lorenzo ground his teeth together and rushed again

“Ha ha ha, copper!”

But once Dedric and Skull joined the fight, Lorenzo iainArk continuously rained punches and kicks on him!

Lorenzo soon developed bruises all over his bodyAnd finally he turned and a punch hit his teh to the other side of the wall

“Now, little by little did you want to confess?”

“damn it, no way!”

“I see you want to lose your soul”

Ark drew back his fist and directed it to Lorenzo’s face, which instantly turned pale

Lorenzo had already lost 70 of his health While Ark only lost 10 at ameFinally, Lorenzo threater bottle and turned his body around

He tried to open the back door but ……Lorenzo’s face became perplexedSid had already blocked the other side of the door so it was stuck and wouldn’t open

“What, what the?” What the hell is this? ”

“Hu hu hu, What a fool! Did he think I wouldn’t have any countermeasures?”

“Rain, eat this!

Lorenzo lifted the sword hanging on the wall beside himHowever, Ark moved much faster than him

Pok!

Ark kicked Lorenzo’s stomach

Without any mistakes, he accurately hit a vital spot on the underbelly and gained a critical hit!

Lorenzo was stunned and fell back

Ark aiting for the chance immediately shouted

“Snake, tie him up!”

Saek saek!

Snake flicked his tongue and firht with Lorenzo was easily settled with that

With one step, Ark approached the struggling Lorenzo and asked

“Okay, nohere should your excreo? Just as it is in your mouth?Or will you confess? For your infor you up some more”

“Da! I did not steal it!”

“Don’t h So without any evidence you have been accused as a thief? If you did so suspicious then obviously you would be considered a criminal! ”

“Sheesh, what do you know? That oldabout! ”

“Even if you die, you’re not going to confess?”

“There’s nothing to confess!”

“Not possible”

Ark’s eyes became chilly

Dedric looked at Lorenzo and clicked his tongue

“Tsk tsk, poor guy, he just dug his own grave”

Dedric knew from experience ould happen when Ark looked like that

As expected…………When Lorenzo’s health recovered a little bit, Ark showed his true coloursIn the past, Dedric was ta the same method as he stepped on Lorenzo

With a stupid face, Lorenzo freaked out about the kicks and let out a cry of distress

“Keuak! This bastard! What are you doing! ”

However, Ark didn’t even blink

In the past, the only way to tame someone rude ith a whip!

Additionally, Ark’s character was that once he starts soh to the end

Ark continued stepping on Lorenzo’s face until he was in a critical conditionThen he waited awhile for health to recover, stepped and wait, how many times did he repeat it……

“Ark-nim, you done yet………Huk!”

Sid stuck his head through the back door and screamed

New World was a virtual reality game where a sense of realism overflows

Not even 10 minutes had passed since Ark refused to let the violently beaten Lorenzo die and it looked like a violent scene from an 18+ rated movie

“Oh, Ark-nim Isn’t this too severe?”

“hell no I haven’t even started yet”

Ark answered with a grin and Sid’s face turned white in terror

However, Lorenzo did not submit

Rather, the more violent Ark became then the more profanities escaped from his mouth

“Dwe, eat this! Just kill me already!”

“Hehehe, Master Then how about an extreme method?”

At that ti fellow Dedric treacherously smiled and approachedA cold smile spread at the corners of Ark’s mouth

“Hmm, well that’s okay? As expected you have a bad side as well”

“Huhuhu, this is due to master’s virtue”

Dedric chattered

……Was that praise, or an insult?

Anyway, Ark listened to Dedric’s advice and stopped the violenceInstead, he placed a pot and ingredients on the table and began survival cooking

After a while, the sweet smell of food filled the room

“Eek? No, what are you doing? Stop it! ”

Ark held Lorenzo’s jaide open and poured food into his an to spasm

‘Fragrant Poison Soup ‘ which activated the paralysis effect

“You……This, you bastard! Such…a thing……”

Lorenzo sweated and stuttered with a paralyzed tongueIt was a soup with a terrible taste and next Ark fed him the horrible salad, waste-flavoured jello etcBut that was only the beginning

The true horror was the spicy seafood chowder medley

Using the medley skill, there was a low probability of terrible food being produced

And the taste was so ‘shocking’ that neither the taste nor effect could be co dishAs it did not decrease the health at all, it was possible to annoy all give senses to the limit ………

It was closer to being a biological weapon than a food

The reat nuh to make him tremble in fear And the devil-like food entered Lorenzo’s mouth immediatelyEvery time he ate it, Lorenzo jumped and spasmed like a fish

A new concept of using food to torture!

“Ugh, I can’t bear to watch!”

Dedric turned his head aith a horror stricken face

To Sid who hadn’t experienced the horrors of the food, it seemed like a joke but……

“Stop! Please helpas long as you stop it with the food!”

After he cooked the fifth food, Lorenzo screamed and surrendered

It was the inevitable result Just eating the food caused such a threat to his life that Ark developed the Indo that he developed speech in order to stop eating the food

It reached a level that humans would not be able to eat

Ark stopped the hand rinned

“So, I’”

“Now, cruel bastard……How could souise of a human make such horrible food……!”

‘What?

“Oh, no! No, no!”

“Well, that’s it Then let’s get to the main subject Where’s the stuff?”

“I’ll say it again I didn’t steal anything!”

“Ah, is that so? Are you still hungry?”

Ark picked up the pot of food and Lorenzo ied voice

“And please wait! Really I really didn’t But I can guess the felloho stole itIt’s that guy

“Aren’t you prevaricating?”

“Please believe me The fact is that I was also a victi to frame me for it ”

“Ah, Ark-nim” Try not to believe his words”

Sid noticed his face and interrupted

“But the context fitsWhy would stealing things from the General Store be a problem for you? ”

“That’s actually ……”

Lorenzo hesitated to answer Ark but eventually desperately replied

“I’m actually… …Wolkosu’s adopted son”

“What?” Adopted son?”

After Lorenzo lost his parents when he was young, he lived with his uncle who ed a store in Selebrid who entrusted him to Wolkosu

Wolkosu was not friendly in nature

Lorenzo worked the difficult night to dawn shi+ft and if he made a little mistake then he would be punished

Lorenzo decided that he would become a runaway

He began living on the streets for several years and Lorenzo becae delinquent

Then one day, Lorenzo was caught in another gang’s dispute and accidently killed a uards before he ed to hide to reach Wolkosu in Selebrid

He was going to threaten Wolkosu to give him some escape funds

However, when he was listening at the store, he overheard the cashi+er say so

Wolkosu asked about the people trying to extort money from Lorenzo and paid them back one by one in a uards during that month was also due to Wolkosu

“I never knewMy father … … …He was clu affection I didn’t understand that I was loved If I knew earlier I wouldn’t have done such stupid things …… ”

Lorenzo said with a slightly shaky voice

Lorenzo shrugged his shoulders and left the store

With help, he barely uards and came to CairoHe built a cabin outside Cairo to live in and swore to no longer do any bad thingsAnd it was long after that he came

“Although I forgot for a while ……My dad suddenly opened a store in CairoMy father had never couise himself as a criminal and conduct business

Lorenzo ground his teeth tightly

Wolkosu had many reasons to set up a shop in CairoOf course ……the main one was Lorenzo

Lorenzo wept after he realised Wolkosu’s heartHowever, once the relationshi+p isted it did not co about how hard that iveness

“I stayed here so I wouldn’t both my father Once when he was free he visited the store and violence occurred I was told to get lost……Although I wanted to beg for forgiveness……I couldn’t bear it After hurting hiiven? I……thought it was best for ht I stole things”

“Then who stole the stuff?”

“They are subordinates of the older brother I followed in the past”

“What?” The older brother’s subordinates? ”

“Yes, I left the organization before I realised my mistake and caoThey wanted roupOf course I refused Then the guys said that they wouldn’t leave my father alone if I didn’t listen

From that, Ark found all the answers to his questions

The reason the shop owner Wolkosu had a large order of the [Lie] scrollIt was for his own use

It was also the reason why Ark received the quest after he became non-chaotic Because the shop owner did not trust criuard and why he warned him not to harm Lorenzo……it wasn’t necessary to speak

‘It was really a third-rate drama scenario’

In the end, the roup of thieves When he thought about it anger surged immediately

“Hukhukhuk, it was like thatI understandHe is like a father, although I can’t really understand”

Sid had become too immersed and a tear slid down his face as he spoke

Although not to the saree, Ark also felt uncomfortable

After Ark ed

People in unavoidable circumstances can walk down a path of darknessThey also have their own drae them for their crimes

Lorenzo also made an effect to put his life of crime behind him and live a new life

Although he was once a delinquent, if his older brother had listened then shouldn’t he have celebrated his new start? Instead, he decided to threaten Lorenzo’s father?

Even auys

Although not clearly shown, everything that exists in reality also exists in the game

“Actually, I heard that after they chased eneral store several tihtIf I don’t ansithin a week then I don’t knohat they’ll do to my father to threaten meIf that fellow…… ”

Lorenzo ground his back teeth together

“So? What should be done? ”

“I can’t stand it anymore”

“Let’s catch them and beat them up?”

“That’s not the only way”

At that time, Sid asked in a worried voice

“But what if they have a lot of guys?”

“Heh, it’ll happen anyway because of otiate”

“Okay” Snake, untie”

Ark placed Snake back around his waist

“Come on, if we’re decided then it’s better to finish this quickly”

“What?” You surely ………? ”

Ark said in a blunt voice

“It’s not guaranteed that you’re telling the truthYou ht just fleeSo I have to follow and confir the truth or notAnd I also pros, so I can’t just leave it in the hands of the criminals”

“Ah, Ark-nim!”

Sid shouted with a thrilled faceLorenzo also looked at him with incredulous eyes

‘Please do not look like that with red cheeksBecause there was no possibility of hi with the quest unsolved’

On the other hand, Dedric muttered with a nasty look at Ark

“Sheesh, there he goes again Master’s acting again………”

Lorenzo looked at Ark for a while before clenching his teeth

“To say thank you …I don’t want to”

“It isn’t necessaryI’ for free”

It was at that ti, the quest informationpopped up

Quest has been updatedShop owner Wolkosu’s distress= Clear Lorenzo’s nameYou discovered that Lorenzo was the shop owner Wolkosu’s adopted son

The events that occurred in the last fortnight at the General store are the work of his old coroupAccompany Lorenzo to the hideaway, deteroods (Warning, it Lorenzo dies on the way then the quest will fail)

Difficulty level: D

‘I found the correct shape’

Ark grinned and laughed

Suddenly, there was an unexpected e

-Andel used a [Feather of whispering] to whisper

‘What the? Andel? ‘

Ark had a bewildered expression

Although he had forgotten about hiht that Andel would atte for a bit, he shook his head

If he authorized the whisper, it was easy enough to i In addition, he did not want to engage in a fight with Andel at the moment

“Refuse whisper”

Ark lightly ignored the whisper

At that ti

A whisper can only reach people in the same area

“I’ve found him Ark! ”

A hazy smile spread at Andel’s mouth

He had accouild for the last fortnight

After Andel joined the assassins in Selebrid, they immediately left for GiranArk received the Event Quest froic Institute, so he reasoned that Ark would have to return to Giran But by that time Ark had already joined Sid so there was no reason for hi to Giran

Thanks to that, Andel and the assassins never discovered Ark’s whereaboutsAfter that, the only plan Andel could co around Giran was to use the [Feather of Whispering]

But it was only possible to whisper within a certain rangeIn other words, it doesn’tas the [Feather of Whispering] worked than if was proof that he wasn’t far from Ark

And once he entered the vicinity of Cairo, the [Feather of Whispering] immediately worked

“That guy is somewhere around here”

At Andel’s words, the three assassins dispatched by the Dark Brother nodded

“There aren’t a lot of villages in Brandt MountainsThere are many places he could be”

“OK, then let’s keep a certain distance and[Trace]

The assassins scattered with the scroll

[Trace] was a scroll that can deteret if they ithin a 1km radius

Once the vicinity was confir the scroll

‘Ark, it’s the end for you!’

Flaeance burned in Andel’s eyes

‘He touched the wrong person?No matter what, I’ll return the favourIf I can’t pass the company examination then you won’t be able to eitherI’ll catch you’re ankle and pull you doith meNo, even if I have to spend ain! You poor sod!’

“How many people would there be?”

“It would be six or seven people”

Lorenzo replied in a tense voice

After leaving Sid at the cabin, Ark and Lorenzo returned to Cairo

The hideout of the thieves threatening Lorenzo was located deep in the alleys of CairoAlthough Lorenzo believed there were only six or seven people, the building sizeat least 20

”I feel like the quest is becoer………Well, it’s not that bad’

The thieves are all inferior to Lorenzo

Lorenzo was a level 80 rogue, while the others were down around level 60~70If you coht thieves in Giran, then it shouldn’t be that difficultHe thought that the quest would probably be solved in 10 minutes

‘Once the quest is coet rich quick scheme’

The General Store had been robbed three times

If so, there were quite a lot of items stolenHe could purchase all the iteinal price

Ark currently had 1000 goldThe Nurune aoldOnce the quest was solved, Ark would invest hisitems

‘They could fill Sid’s bags with all the items and leave… ‘

In the case of a general item that isn’t a special commodity, a store would buy it for 50 of its purchase price

However, he could sell it for 80 of its price to users who need the item And when it is an item that couldn’t be obtained from a local store, it is possible to add more value and sell it at 120 of its purchase price

Using siold and I buy items for 60 and sell it at 120 then there would be a profit of 600 gold

Some conditions to receive quests could be difficult, but if done successfully then you could sell itee benefit

‘Huhuhu, good thing that Sid ca’

Of course, Ark had no intention of selling the item directly

It was a bag full of iteold, and he had no time to do business with other users

He was prepared to leave the annoying part to SidEven though 10~20 of the profit would be given away, he would stilltime

‘Once the quest is completed then it is certain that I will make a profit’

As soon as he arrived in Cairo, he received this excellent quest!

The only thing on his mind was Lorenzo

If Lorenzo dies, then he would earn Wolkosu’s wrath which would make it difficult to stay in Cairo So the point of this quest was to protect Lorenzo rather than kill the thieves

“Lorenzo, you’re in the back”

“Ha, but ………”

“You are not allowed to be injuredIf you’re injured here, how sad would your father be? You shouldn’t let the father who came here for you be sad You knohat I mean……even if I don’t say it?”

He was different from the Ark who threatened to kill hih for Ark’s character to changeAnyway Lorenzo was just a sih and nodded

“Thank you so much I’ll be careful”

“Well done”

As soon as Ark received the promise, he tried to open the door

All of a sudden, there was a flashi+ng light and huge dae occurred

-Using the element of surprise, you received a critical hit froe 200X3

“Huk, what, what the?” assassination? ‘
