‘What the, I can get a quest from the dead as well?’
Ark read the information ith an absurd expression Honestly, he didn’t care about the et as a reward
‘Still, the quest doesn’t seeht be able to get ives ht even receive an item for my summons’
Anyway, Ark had nothing to do except searching the city so he accepted the quest
“I understand”
“Ohhh, thank you… This is a key I previously found…… It is probably used to open the door to the prison… Quickly go and hit that guy”
The dead merchant said as he handed Ark a rusty key Ark received the key and went underground to the baseh soh He followed the underground passage down for a short time before some prison bars appeared The sound was clearly audible as the key opened the prison doors The sound rang through the whole dungeon Ark became a little tense at the noise
‘The fellowthis noise for several months…is he an undead?’
Ark pulled out his sword and entered the prison How far did he proceed? Ark was just walking past a jail cell when he felt so sound as so it
“Huk, what, what the? How surprising! That is the cause of the noise!”
Ark withdrew and raised his sword All of a sudden, Radun became astounded and crawled up Ark’s arm to listen to the noise
Ssak ssak? Ssak ssak ssak ssak!
“What the? Radun, what is it?”
Ssak ssak ssak? Ssak ssak ssak? Ssak ssak ssak ssak?
Clack clack clack! Clack clack clack clack clack!
There was a fa
“Eh? This sound…?”
Ark winced and focused his attention on the prison Surprisingly, the skeleton shaking the iron as Razak!
Clack clack clack, clack clack clack clack!
Razak’s face was thrilled as he saw them But that impression immediately disappeared because of the insincere interpreter
“I believed that Master would come”
Racard picked his nose and murmured
‘If he was here then it would be ie’
Ark met Razak and listened to the su the dead merchant for the last few months was Razak Thanks to the special familiar’s contract, the summon couldn’t’ leave the place they were bound to The place Razak was sue of Death, Razak had been forcefully recalled From then on, Razak had waited in this dark and lonely place for Ark’s to coht, it had already been a month since he parted from Razak And one month in reality corresponded to three ly uneasy as time passed Was he abandoned? No, would Ark even be able to find hi so uneasy Although he kneas impossible, Razak used his whole body to try to escape That noise reached thehysterical
‘This guy……’
Unlike Ark, his summons felt 100 of the physical pain But despite that, did he keep on running his body into the wall to return to Ark? In addition, it was also because Ark died and Razak shared his health that Razak was forcibly recalled But it took one month for them to finally reunite He felt sorry towards Razak when he thought about it Then Racard snorted and muttered
“Heung, are you normal? Why would you crash into the wall? And Master shouldn’t praise hi in a place like this I always knew he had a dark side”
“So you were in this cell when the contract initiated? But why a prison cell?”
“Well, let’s see He died in prison No doubt he was an incredibly bad person”
Clack clack, clack clack clack clack!
Razak glared at Racard and protested After ato Racard’s interpretation, even Razak didn’t knohy he was an undead in this place He lost all memories of his past once resurrected as an undead He had a few frague like a dream
“As expected, you are a bad guy Didn’t you die in prison? You’re probably not even a forht”
Clack clack clack, clack clack clack clack!
“Are you coht? Don’t h Why should I believe it?”
Clack clack clack, ttadadak?
“Noisy, are you just res about yourself? You should address me with honorifics in the future Huhuhu, the quality of my body is different from yours who lived in a prison It doesn’t ht Now I am an Earl Earl Racard Hahaha, come and show respect I am…ouch! What the? You just hit my head, my head”
“Then don’t act like that Do you want me to hit you?”
“damn, you only hate me”
“That’s because only you behave hatefully Is that any way to treat a colleague you haven’t seen for several months?”
“I don’t care”
“If you say one more word then you’ll earn the whip”
“Ouch! Okay, don’t hit ain”
Ark hit Racard’s head before approaching Razak
“Anyway, it is lucky that I’ve found you “Noe have to register you”
He used the keys received from the dead merchant to open the door but Razak couldn’t leave Ark had to install the Suistration in the prison cell
‘So one thing has finished’
Now the only thing left was to look for clues regarding his profession change quest But he had one thing to do before that Although it is a simple one, a quest was still a quest He neatly resolved it so shouldn’t he receive coeon and went back to the deadtruly absurd
“That…What are you saying…… I requested so?”
The dead merchant asked with a puzzled look
“Eh? No, you asked for round was driving you crazy Weren’t you going to givefrom your collection if I stopped the noise?”
“That…I don’t know anything about that…… You’re interfering with et lost”
“What, what the? What about my reward?”
“Ah, you’re really loud…… The noise you’re …… How many times do I have to say it……? I have no such ar……”
“You don’t like it? Are you done speaking?”
Ark grabbed the dead merchant’s collar Ark was kind to NPCs It was the same even if the NPC was an undead However, the reason Ark was friendly to NPCs was because it was profitable If the quest NPC was trying to get out of giving hi them The merchant became puzzled by Ark’s bloody attitude
“What the! What are you doing……? Ah, understood…… I understand…… okay… Although the noise is unpleasant, this is still a business…take this Don’t bother me anymore or else I won’t stay calm”
The dead h his pockets and threw a small coin
-Dead Coin
A copper coin o But these coins weren’t used as money In other words, they’re commemorative coins made in honour of the dead It appears to have no value as money in modern times
-The quest <noise coround=””> has been completed
The quest instantly completed with the dead merchant threw him the coin He completed a quest yet he received no experience and not even one copper coin?
“This, is he treating ar?”
“Ark-nim! Behind you, behind!”
Buksil suddenly burst out as his eyeballs had been scanning the area When he turned around, he saw that so
“Son of a bitch!”
Ark ground his teeth together and pushed the dead et to collect the Dead Coin which fell to the floor It was still a reward no ry?
“Let’s leave, that damn bastard!”
Although he avoided the shop because of the guards, his anger wasn’t easily soothed A NPC trying to get out of giving a quest reward? What kind of nonsense was that? Then Racard who had been talking to Razak sighed and approached
Clack clack? Clack clack clack clack? Clack clack clack clack
Ark felt like he had been slapped on the head at Racard’s ensuing interpretation
“Master, Razak said that the deadto trick you”
“Wasn’t trying to trick me?” Didn’t you see it? He definitely asked me for help”
“That…the merchant really didn’t remember the deal”
“He couldn’t re that happened only 10 minutes before?”
Razak sighed at Ark’s words and explained When soo to heaven Well, he actually didn’t knohat the heavens was like in New World However, those with a strong lingering regret when dying would be unable to go to heaven and beconificant regrets That’s why the uards defended the city for hundreds of years In Razak’s case, his regret was ‘losing the target of his loyalty’ That’s why Skull swore his allegiance to Ark the first time he was summoned If Ark hadn’t summoned Razak then he would probably still be stuck in the underground prison with his regrets
“The dead currently exist here but they’ve repeating their lives for hundreds of years”
Yes, that was the probleht share the sa of another time So while the dead remembered the other existences from the same time as them, they couldn’t remember Ark as fro and the dead! The only exception to this was Ark and Razak due to their bond Ark felt e the explanation
“What the? Then accepting the quests ?”
It was fortunate that he even received the coin fro
“Sheesh, I found Razak so I should quickly complete my profession quest”
Ark complained and stood up However, the deadbenefits to Ark The first one was that he found Razak in the underground dungeon The second benefit was that he figured out a way to coe quest
‘I rong The best seat didn’t hest place’
Ark had thought that the City of the Dead was merely ruins However, he heard fro used to rule here The dungeon and castle were located in the city centre Yes, the best seat wasn’t the tower but the sy’s throne Ark stood up and ieon, the upper levels had a lot of guards gathered These soldiers were there to prevent the intrusion of outsiders Ark was able to understand these soldiers after listening to Razak The guards outside were to prevent outsiders entering the city Meanwhile, the soldiers lingered in order to protect the closest thing to their king
Ark used ‘Stealth’ to break into the upper levels When he reached the top floor, the hall where the King’s throne was located appeared On the throne, the King was sitting blankly with a crown on his head
‘Even the King has lingered here? What is the place he is staring at? Does that place have anything to do with the King’s lingering spirit? What is the King’s regret that is keeping him on earth? Eh, that is?’
Ark followed the King’s gaze with curiosity and his eyes widened The place the King was staring at was the front balcony Frole, he could see the top of the tower and a panoramic view of the city with a lot of debris
‘If that building wasn’t broken……?’
The moon While debris was scattered all over the place, a building shaped like a crescentwould form a full moon if it was intact And the shape could only be seen if looked fro
‘This is why the clue said to look for the scattered moon at the best seat!’
Ark opened hisand sneaked out When he checked hisseee object occupied the us with a dead warrior holding a sword carved into it
“Sarcophagus… This is slightly unexpected? Didn’t the clue say to find the resting place after following the scattered pieces of the moon? If so, then I have to search this place for another clue……but the only thing here is the sarcophagus”
“Hehehe Ark-nim, look at this”
Ark had been scratching his head with confusion Then he turned around as he heard Buksil’s voice There were three holes present on the warrior carved into the sarcophagus, one on the two eyes and one on theover the warrior’s eyes and turning around The sight of the eyeballs on the warrior’s solemn face was quite funny
“Please stop that I’ to search”
Ark e
‘Wait? That is a sarcophagus If this teus then ould there be holes in the eyes and mouth? Perhaps…?’
A scene he had previously seen in a es appeared in his head He couldn’t remember exactly, but the movie was about the ancient Greeks or Romans In the movie, three coins would be placed on the eyes and mouth of a warrior who died in battle before he was placed into the sarcophagus During those times, the people believed that the dead needed to pay 3 coins to cross the river and enter the other world
“Ohhh, that’s why a person should study these things “Hey Buksil, come out of there!”
“Ugh, you don’t have to grip so hard! Those are my eyeballs!”
Ark pulled the eyeballs frous and tried to insert a coin But the hole was too small for his coin to be inserted
“Eh? What the? These coins don’t work? Then……?”
Ark retrieved the small coin he received from the dead ain viewed the infor the Dead Coin
‘The Dead Coin was a commemorative coin for the dead!
The probleus’ mystery However, that problem was easily solved by Ark
“Huhuhu, this is a chance to get revenge on the merchant!”
Thump, thump, thump, thump!
“Aaaaah! Again……it is starting again……that stupid noise……!”
The dead merchant yanked at his hair furiously as the floor started ringing with the noise Then Ark approached and asked quickly
“Shall I settle the problem?”
“Huh? You…who are you?”
As expected, the dead ument with Ark
“You don’t need to know that Do you want me to solve this problem?”
“Oh, really…! Then I’ll ask you…… Get rid of that noise……I’ll give you an iteet there…… Huh? I clearly left that key here…”
“The key is not needed”
Ark accepted the quest and quickly headed to the dungeon Yes, Ark was planning to trick the dead merchant who had short ter related to Ark In other words, he couldn’t remeo back to the dungeon to make noise while he went and accepted the quest froot that he had given the quest in the first place Therefore wouldn’t it be better if he grabbed the ? Thus Ark continuously threatened the dead merchant However, he wouldn’t receive the quest if he used the ‘Intimidation’ skill Ark started to understand that the h he originally thought he wouldn’t receive a quest reward, this quest reas designed to be received when Ark treated the merchant in a horrible manner If the ain If he wasn’t threatened using Inti
“This……you really seeet lost”
This time the dead merchant threw a bone He had repeated the quest many times as the , a lost shi+eld…they were all items that had been thrown After Ark repeated it 10 times, he finally collected 3 Dead Coins
‘Phew, the repetitive quest in order to receive goods has finished Now I’ve collected all three I can insert the coins like a vending machine and find a clue……’
Ku ku ku ku ku!
After inserting the three coins into the warrior, there was aThen it eappeared in front of Ark
-The Underground Crypt
You’ve found the underground crypt hidden in the City of the Dead The residents here feared death and worshi+pped it since ancient tiht, or status So this teain, this is a resting place for the dead If a person with greedy desires steps foot in here then they’ll have to pay the price
