ACT 7 Near Miss!
“Where the hell is that Ark child?”
Jewel frowned and coroup had left the village Jewel had circled the outskirts of the village several tier Duke kept on finding traces of Ark so there was no way they could return yetBut Jewel found so that time
-Nearly there I’ve found traces that Ark has just passed by here
“How many times have you said those words?”
-Nearly there I’ve found traces that Ark has just passed by here
Those were the only words Duke would say after leaving the valley village In fact, Razak didn’t knorite So he wrote dohat Ark told hie However Ark had left for the village so he could only repeat the last sentence over and over
‘What is with this guy? Did he eat so weird?’
Jewel didn’t know the circu weird because he caught a cold Well, his behaviour was still strange even with a cold… Jewel calmed down and followed behind Duke Then Jewel suddenly heard a harsh sound
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
It wasn’t a sound in the ganored it When connected to the game, she was Jewel the StalkerReality just irritated Jewel Even if she disconnected, the person on the other end would just talk nonsenseJewel had no intention of stopping for nonsense when Ark was on the verge of being caught However, she heard the voice speaking and had to exit the unit
“Hey you! What the hell?”
‘Eh? This voice is…huh, what?’
Jewel opened the door of the apartment with a confused face And felt chilled when she saw the visitor’s face The visitor was a friend who had been playing the game since the beta testHis ID in New World was Duke…… However, wasn’t Duke chasing Ark around in the game? New World used biometric data so no one else could control the character Then ith Jewel inside the game?
“Dammit, why didn’t you answer the phone?”
Duke asked with annoyance as he entered the room
“That…who know I don’t answer calls while playing the game Rather, how are you here……?”
“How?”
Duke breathed out and started co
“I don’t knohat you’re talking about Anyway you have to hurry”
“What?”
“Da after Bona, I happened to run into Ark and got killed by him so I frantically tried to call you I wanted to let you knohere he was But you didn’t answer the phone Now he’s probably already run away… Anyway, I can’t connect for 24 hours……so it’s really frustrating”
“Ark! You encountered Ark?”
Jewel realized what happened She was confident regarding aspects of New World If so they couldn’t understand in New World then it was most likely a skill!
‘Duke was killed by Ark Then Duke’s ghost appeared and lured us out of town Then…’
Jewel didn’t knohat method Ark used by he had deliberately deceived theuilty of one big error when thinking about his plan When Duke was killed, he could’ve called Jewel straight away in reality While thinking about a skill in the game, it wasn’t possible to take reality into account But fortunately, this strategy lasted for 1 hour despite its weak points because of Jewel’s habit of not answering the phone However, Duke ended up visiting Jewel directly
“damn! Duke you’re dead!”
Jewel cursed and ran to the unit
“What, what the? What are you doing?”
Duke was left scratching his head with a stupid expression
———————————————————————————————————-
“Grandfather!”
“Oh, Bona You’re all right!”
Beseutyu was released fro Bona He had seen the sao…Deja vu? Well, it was a e While Ark was stabbing Kaljapeu’s sphincter with a knife, the Slave Liberation Army lead by Joan of Arc was able to defeat the Nakujuk after a fierce battle But after the heat of the battle, they returned to the terrible reality They sacrificed quite a few people in order to defeat the Nakujuk The group 0f 70 Baran was reduced by 30 people The dae to the monsters was even further as only twenty of them survived The difference in coe Therefore there were quite a few orphaned children
“Sob sob, Father…Mother……”
Ark felt his heart beco the children’s cries He was faht to save their children, Ark was the one who incited them to do it
“It’s not necessary to make that look”
Beseutyu see as he tapped him on the shoulder
“I heard everything while being locked in the cage They intended to kill all of us once the toas finished Although 30 Myutal died, you ended up saving 40 of us And their children as well So don’t beat yourself up about the victims”
Of course he would do that Ark wasn’t a sentiuilt They were NPCs Although the well-crafted NPC felt human, a NPC was still a NPC And noasn’t the tis
“Do you knohat the Nakujuk are using the tower for?”
“I also heard it I can’t believe that the Nakujuk can freely move across the northern uys……conquest of the Netherworld!”
Beseutyu e discovery
“I already know that So if you pull down the tower……”
Jewel and the Nakujuk conquering the Netherworld was a big deal for Ark But since the Nakujuk utilized monsters to build the tower, Ark couldn’t pull it down by hihed
“It’s possible But that would only buy souys have the blueprint for the tower While they possess the blueprints, their southern invasion is an inevitable fact
“This……”
“There is only one way left The Baran ainst them”
“Are the odds in your favour?”
Beseutyu closed hisof his silence was obvious Ark clearly knew about the huge difference between the Baran and the Nakujuk’s combat abilities So the Baran would have to unite despite those differences Besides, if the Baran joined the war then the Hermes Alliance was likely to send soroup could match them
‘I can’t prevent the Netherworld fro into their hands…’
Ark sighed with frustration Beseutyu was also frustrated
“Anyway, there is only one way now In the past, the Baran fled from the Nakujuk but there is nowhere else to run We will be forced to fight, even if everyone dies I have to inform my people as fast as possible to allow them to prepare”
‘Ah, before that there’s one thing I wanted to ask”
Ark explained to Beseutyu what occurred in Magaro’s Laboratory Beseutyu frowned and ht
“It can be seen but not touched…perhaps he is speaking of Underground?”
“Underground?”
“Yes, that’s certainly it My e disaster occurred, the dimensions distorted and soap”
“Trapped in a diap? Then is there a method to return it intact?”
“I don’t remeend But if they know the diht be a solution That’s right, records of the legend are in the A bookcase…”
Beseutyu murmured and looked around before his face stiffened The shelves had collapsed while fighting Kaljapeu, pouring thousands of scrolls onto the floor In addition, Ark had swum around in the scrolls so they were all scrambled
“Ohto find the scroll in here?”
Beseutyu groaned as he looked around Ark also thought it was an i thousands of scrolls? And time was of the essence The tie was unknown
‘Razak hasn’t contacted me yet so there is no need to worry for the moment…’
Did they have to look for the scroll blindly? It wouldn’t be possible to obtain the clue once Jewel occupied the village again Didn’t he also have to couild occupied the Netherworld? Then, a perfect solution to find the scroll struck Ark
“Are there any special s on the scroll?”
“Marking? No, nothing like that But all the records related to that legend is on the A shelf So the strings closing the scroll would have the A syround’ seemed to be in the A-20 to A-30 scrolls”
“I understand! Lariette-niather here!”
Approximately 60 residents and children entered the house
“Buksil, Lariette-nim, please distribute all of the Herbal Tea”
Yes, he devised the idea of using the herbal tea The herbal tea Ark distributed was the one to speed up their hand ht Then he ordered them to search for the A-20 to A-30 scrolls At any rate, Ark was the best at using people
“Oh, what is this?”
“Why are hands are so fast?”
“And I can see that fine print completely from this far away”
The effect of the herbal tea activated i up food and searched a speed And someone soon found a necessary scroll
‘Okay, five have already been found Now only five more…’
Ark aiting anxiously
Clack clack clack clack!
All of a sudden Razak ran into the mansion Dedric lifted his head from where it was buried in a scroll and shouted
“Master, those guys are coe!”
“What the?”
Ark jumped with surprise He exited thein the distance Jewel’s group was co over 200 Nakujuk!
“damn, how did they know? We should find the other five in around…10 minutes No, the work pace has quickened so it should be 7 minutes…”
“Oh my God! So close…”
Lariette roup noticed soe then they would definitely try to catch Ark and the Baran On the other hand, Ark’s group contained children so their escape speed would be slower There was no guarantee that they could elude the pursuit even if they left now No, to be honest there was a 30 chance But it would be ie would be surrounded and they would be wiped out
“Ark, this is a request”
At that moment Beseutyu approached and spoke to him
“A request?”
“Yes, I’ve heard from Bona You have a method to move to in soon And win or lose, the Baran will suffer a harsh trial It’s our inevitable fate But…”
Beseutyu turned his head and looked at the childrenin the mansion
“I don’t want the children to experience that And anyway, it is impossible to flee from the Nakujuk with the children So can you escape with all these children and their caretakers to the safer middle earth?”
Ark’s eyes started flashi+ng Why had he never thought of that? That’s right Ark had a method to return to middle earth at any ti about being chased by Jewel’s group It was like he had just opened a door and exited frohtmare
“It’s not just to save the children We also think that this is the best way There are only 7 skyrays re If I’m there then Guran and the other trainers will be able to use the skyrays The Nakujuk will be unable to follow them on foot Therefore they can quickly tell our kin about the situation”
Of course, Ark could also stay in the town until they found the scrolls But there was one proble a cipher passed down through Beseutyu’s fao with Beseutyu then ould decipher the scrolls? But the clever old ht of that
“Although Bona is still immature, he can still solve the password for the scroll”
“Grandfather!”
Bona stared at Beseutyu with surprise But Beseutyu just stroked Bona’s head and laughed
“You don’t have to worry Ark is souys to a safe place Just wait there safely until we come to pick you up”
Bona was tearful but did not protest Beseutyu wiped off his tears with a sleeve and nodded
“I promise I’ll definitely come pick you up”
“Right”
Beseutyu nodded and walked towards the skyrays with Guran and so suddenly shouted
“I, I’ll go too!”
“Lariette-nim?”
Ark’s eyes popped out
“Isn’t Ark-ni to return to the Netherworld?”
Of course That hy he was looking for the scroll
“Ark-nim has to take the children to middle earth But someone should also stay here It is important to understand the situation in the Netherworld And there is no guarantee of safety even on the skyrays I-I will protect them”
Ark looked at Lariette with beestion was unexpected Didn’t she proain? So he couldn’t understand why she intended to stay in the Netherworld But it wasn’t bad to have Lariette stay behind Ark still hadn’t abandoned the Netherworld If Jewel’s group occupied the Netherworld then there would be nowhere for Ark to hide He had to do whatever it took to stop it And the power of the Baran clan was needed to stop their ambitions In the war Lariette would help the Baran clan tremendously so it elcomed
“I understand”
Ark nodded and Lariette
“Then……please tell me your phone number”
“Huh? Phone number?”
“Ark-nim will be in middle earth but you will need to know the situation in the Netherworld But you can’t use the Feather of Whispering to communicate between dimensions…”
“Ah, yes…”
Ark nodded and told her his phone nuhtly After that Beseutyu called frohtly to Beseutyu with a pale face before vanishi+ng with a scream
‘She’s so scared but still volunteered……Lariette-nily responsible’
Ark thought Lariette wanted to stay behind because of a sense of responsibility towards the Baran However, Lariette had a separate ulterior uous Lariette wanted to confirue or so more Every time she was alone with Ark……she would becoe the subject However, if she returned to middle earth then she would lose all justification to follow Ark But if Lariette remained in the Netherworld then Ark would obviously have to contact her Moreover, didn’t she naturally ask for his phone nuly smart plan
Anyway, Ark once again entered the roup left
’10 grams of the Dimension Movement powder canadults and children I’ll have to create a rams of powder’
Ark cleared the floor of scrolls and started ic circle
“Ark-hyung, I’ve found another one!”
‘Okay, we can find everything and still leave in time!’
Meanwhile, the Baran had been busy finding the scrolls By the tiic circle, they had found nine scrolls Now there was only one left so obviously the last one would be a huge problem
“Ark-hyung, we’ve search everyone but we can’t find the last one”
The 50 Baran had drunk the herbal tea and searched the mansion Even so, they could not find the final piece And Jewel’s group had already entered the village and was rushi+ng towards the house Beseutyu said that the Underground ritten in one of those scrolls Couldn’t the content be written in one of the nine scrolls?
‘Nine scrolls are found so the probability is 90 But considering my luck it would probably be in that one scroll…’
It was like o But there was no more time to hold out Ark clenched his teeth and pointed towards the diate
