Vol 6 Chapter 6 (2/2)

“Hmm, why is it so dull?”

Ark felt like the battle was too dull Just yesterday he had engaged in a bloody ith his partner against the pioneers in the Evil Silrion……Co He wasn’t aware of it yet, but his experience with the Evil Silrion and Lee Myung-ryong had raised his standards to the highest level

Then, a garbage bag was suddenly visible to the side While the thieves had opened the door and beating theaway When a thief passed theain This pattern repeated until they ed to escape from the hideout

‘What the, that is?’

Ark stared at the garbage bags escaping to the h It was the three uised theuise was effective or it wasn’t worth wasting tiht Then Ark stabbed his sword tip firround

“Hey, you guys Where do you think you’re going?”

The garbage bags flinched and chattered

“Hyung-nim! We were discovered”

“Huk huk huk, Hyung-ni to die? I’m scared”

“Just caler brothers I have an idea”

Merchant A sed his saliva and suddenly stood up They stripped off their robes and revealed their true identity It was small bodied dwarf However, perhaps because they were merchants but they didn’t have the distinctivehands, they sees than dwarves Merchant A suddenly grabbed Ark’s hand and begged

“Please don’t kill us Blue Sword and Dark Wolf!”

“What? Don’t kill you?”

“Oh, the truth is, in fact……we are……fans! Yes, that’s right We are fans!”

“Fan? How did you knoas related to Dark Wolf?”

“That is…ere interested Yes, interested”

Merchant A nodded his head as he twisted his hands together

“Your fight was so impressive that anted to find out more so we hide ourselves and watched That’s e learned that you were Dark Wolf Our respect was burning so anize a fan club”

“Oh, really? That hy you’ve been chasing us?”

“Fan ? That’s it Ha ha ha, eren’t told in advance anything about this fight The work becae felloerethe fan club meh they looked quite strong, they weren’t a reat”

“H,Hyung-nim……”

Merchant B and C looked at their hyung-nim with miserable eyes It was truly absurd Ark had already witnessed theirwith Jewel in the alley He knew that they were after Magaro’s clues They had obviously hired o, there was no guarantee that they wouldn’t try it again

‘Thanks to the thieves, a crisis was averted But if I was alone then the surprise attack would’ve robbed ain’

So flickered at the corner of Ark’s eyes

‘This is a chance!’

A pair of eyes flashed in the darkness A blackthe face while the body rapped in black clothesThe Red Palanization Yes, it wasn’t only the merchants that shadowed Ark’s party The Dark Brother had watched Ark since Selebrid and also chased after hie of it to advance to the rear and develop an elimination plan

‘A eroup Chet, thethe mountains should of had the ele it With h it is vexing, there should be another chance……’

The assassin as hiding outside assessed the situation and turned around without doing anything Then there was an unexpectedly good fortune The foolish s and escaped to the mountain, and then Ark pursued them by himself The rehabilitation members and the thieves were busy with the mercenaries and paid no attention to the outside

‘This is a great opportunity!’

The assassin pulled out a sithout hesitation He was level 250 He was different from the ordinary assassins and was armed with a variety of skills; he was the super secret assassin from the Dark Brother It wasn’t possible to count the ih it wasn’t possible to handle all his colleagues, Ark had displayed a careless aone out by himself

‘Anyway, the goal of the Dark Brother organization is Ark I don’t care about the other guys Okay, I can’t give him time to escape to the hideout!’

The assassin made a deadly resolution and used all his buffs to increase his abilities His da ‘Sword Aura,’ his traces were erased using ‘Light Step,’ ‘Critical Hit’ was used to maximize the chances of a critical strike and so on……But his special moves were separate from that The ‘Blood Thrill’ was a special skill that only an assassin of the Dark Brother could use It was a fatal assassination skill which converted 50 of his health to offensive dae and that transfer meant that one bloas deadly! The moment the attack was successful, he would lose 50 of his health but noas the time to use all his power Once he used the skill, his sword changed to a bloody red colour The assassin approached like a ghost and struck Ark with a strong blow

-You have received a critical hit from the surprise assassination skill There is also an addition dae of 250 x 3 thanks to the Blood Thrill skill

The total dae is x 2 and you have been stunned for 10 seconds

Ark suddenly felt his spine tingle before he lost an absurd ae of 25o was 750! With an additional double dae, he had lost 1,500 health with one blow Ark’s health instantly went down to 500 That wasn’t all He felt drunk as he was hit with the additional stun effect

‘What, what the?’

Ark freaked out and turned his body around The ht his eye

“You, you’re from the Dark Brother? Don’t tell me Andel……?

“Never, this is the will of the Dark Brother organization”

“What?”

“Did you think you would get aith killing people from the Dark Brother? You can never escape the hand of the Dark Brother Although you can revive with the secret skill of the foreigners, you would have to buy a village to escape froner than dying?”

When the assassin showed up, the merchants who didn’t know the situation immediately left with a puzzled expression

“Hyung-nim What happened back there?”

“How should I know? Anyway, hopefully that black guy can defeat Dark Wolf”

“Then………?”

“If we see the chance then we’ll use the scrolls! And I was negotiate with the black one……”

The ether and looked at the two of them with a sense of expectancy However, Ark wasn’t in a situation where he could worry about the ulterior motives of the merchants

“damn, you bastard……!”

Thanks to the surprise attack, Ark had the injustice of losing a lot of health And because he was stunned, his body felt heavy like a lead bag When he was stunned, evasion, attacking and using his skills were all blocked The duration was only 10 seconds, but when looking at the offensive power of the assassin that was plenty of time for three or four more attacks

‘Being careless for just a short moment can cause such a fatal failure……’

Pepeng! He received another critical hit and lost 300 health

The sword once again targeted Ark’s neck It was a 100 chance of death! The assassin’s eyes shone with an eerie light as he became confident of his victory

“It is the end!”

“Ark!”

A black shadow suddenly ca in at the desperate moment And there was a shower of fists towards the assassin as trying to deal the final blow He aimed at Ark’s neck but the sword suddenly became encased in solid stone

‘Petrification of Blood!’

Ark looked up in surprise at the person who had ran out Shambala! Shambala had a passive skill to detect assassins He had used the skill to check if there were any other mercenaries around and detected Ark and the assassin outside the hideout! And he used Petrification of Blood without confir who the opponent was

“Ark, it’s your turn!”

Shambala shouted from one side It was the pincer attack that they used countless times in the Evil Silrion As soon as Ark was released from the stun, he used Dark Blade While the defense was raised by 500 when Petrification of Blood was used, it nored all defense

Putt putt putt peng, the violent critical hits flowed continuously

However, the assassin was level 250 Even though ‘Blood Thrill’ consumed 50 of his health, after 3~4 critical hits he still had a lot of health left Meanwhile, the assassin rushed towards Ark after Petrification of Blood wore off

“Ugh, Ark, even if I die I’ll take you to hell with me!”

“Holy shi+t!”

Profanities burst froht it was possible to finish the fight before Petrification of Blood wore off He only had 200 health left, but because of that he didn’t feel the need to drink an expensive potion Therefore he would die with one hit! His habit of trying to save ain However, Shambala unexpected stepped of front of hih they weren’t in the Evil Silrion any Ark

“Ark, Whirlwind of Death!”

Sha the assassin It was the pincer technique that Ark and Shambala had developed in the Evil Silrion The assassin was surrounded on both sides And he was overwhele itself wasn’t that high, but since an abnormal state was caused every tihtered

“Ugh, drat But as long the Dark Brother organization exists, a 2nd and 3rd assassin will come after you……”

Eventually, the assassin muttered pathetically and collapsed Ark looked away froht the merchants who ju with a smile

“Whoa, as expected of Dark Wolf and Blue Sword! Ha ha ha, I kneas possible for you to win”

“………”

Ark glared silently Ark knew that they had been silently rooting for the assassin If he died in this situation Merchant A noticed with his keen senses and quickly pulled out a contract After writing so down, he extended it towards Ark

“In fact, this hat I was trying to give Dark Wolf when searching for you!”

“What is this?

“So that Dark Wolf can concentrate on his matches, it is the support money donated by the fan club!”

“Donations?”

A Merchant’s Agreement

A person with this agreeold once a month (10 days) which you can receive at any branch of the Merchant’s Guild The merchant who drew up the contract will open an account at the Merchant’s guild for the recipient, in order to settle the accounts

This agreement will last until the contracted merchant is bankrupt or the written contract disappears

<recipient: ark=”Dark” wolf=””>

‘This is………a debit card?’

Ark’s eyes shone brightly as he read the contract

‘These guys have other ulterior motives but……’

In fact, killing the three little pigs had no apparent benefit There was no guarantee that they would give up on the e like Andel’s then it would beco not to know and then reaping the profits be more beneficial?

But……the amount of money was quite low if he was to pretend………

“How many fan club members are there?”

“Yes? Just……the people who have come with us……so 23 people”

“So 23 people pay 10 gold every 10 days………that’s 50 silver per day? Are you confused between donating and begging? Only thatto patronize me? No, are you really a fan? Perhaps you have a different purpose? In that case………”

Ark felt offended and glared That was only enough for three hungry people to eat for a couple of days! Did they think they could catch him and have him immediately accept (?) Merchants B and C who felt the crisis looked at their brother with tears in their eyes Merchant A was quick to revise the contract

“Oh, I old”

“………”

Ark kept a ful silence and a dark cloud was cast on Merchant A’s face

“3, 30 gold? -Uhh, of course 40 gold! Anymore would be too much for the fans………”

Merchant A eventually muttered tearfully

‘Sheesh, the atmosphere here is quite heavy’

Ark struck them in the heart Ark was the type that would suck out the bone marrow if he had the chance Because he was instinctively aware of the opponent’s wallets If he tried to squeeze any ive up In addition, if they became bankrupt then the contract would also disappear If he left it alone, he would be able to suck out er time

’40 gold every 10 days It’s not a small amount of money’

“Ah, you’re fans as expected I cannot ignore the sincerity of my fans”

Ark’s face went through a 180 degree change and the decision was madeThe world was love and peace, but Ark understood that a person who cared about ood

“Do you accept?”

“Of course But we are two people”

“Yes?”

“Didn’t you say you were fans of Dark Wolf and Blue Sword? So the donations should be given fairly Unless……perhaps you aren’t our fans?”

Ark’s face gave an ih Shaure it out later He didn’t like the idea of splitting 40 gold evenly Merchant A had to whiain Now Ark nodded with a friendly smile

“Thank you I should remember a nice fan like you But don’t I need your name in order to memorize it? What is your name?”

“Yes? That is, we’re just………a passing fan?”

“I’ fan”

“………We’re Buksil, Sapjil and Ulmeok”

“Yes, Buksil, Sapjil and Ulures out that I’m Dark Wolf, I’ll look at my fan club president first Do you knohat I mean?”

Ark pointed at the 300 thieves lined up behind hi them to keep their mouths shut! Then they hastily left the mountain

“Dark Wolf, I’!”

“Fighting!”

Thus the merchants left the mountains alive Merchant C, Ulmeok murmured in a tearful voice just like his name

“Hyung-nim What will happen to us now?”

“Hu hu hu, it’s okay”

Buksil had a sinister smile on his face

“Do you knohy I was fearful and polite around hiuys know about that contract? The reement states that he had to pick up the money at the Merchant’s Guild What does that mean?”

“T-then……?”

“Yes Sooner or later they’ll put clues together and go to find the treasure But since the income will arrive on a certain date, sooner or later they’ll have to withdraw the money We can just sit back and watch their y and at the last oal now is not the co the treasure”

“Oooh, it’s like the bears hiding until thearound As expected of Hyung-ni about that moment!”

“But how long will it take?”

Then, Sapjil asked with an uneasy look

“What if they don’t look for the treasure right away? One old every ten days so for the two of theold out of one olds, three old………”

Now Buksil’s face turned dark He never even considered the ourously shook his head

“It’s fine Those guys will certainly look for the treasure straight away”

“But if they don’t find it within two or three months……ill become broke”

“………”

The merchants flinched and were silent for aout money from their accounts, the merchants would become bankrupt The NPCs from the Merchant Guild responsible for old contained in their bags There would also be a huge penalty given to the credit and skills! While they had to givea bankruptcy report If they stole the treasure and completed the Grandmaster’s quest, they calculated that the compensation orth the possible penalty However, that was if they ed to snatch the treasure What if they became broke before that? They could see that withoutthey’ve worked for

“Let’s go earn money!”

Buksil cried out as they ran down the mountain

“We underesti up”

JusticeMan muttered and scratched his head

“What?”

“Well, as I said”

JusticeMan spoke with a serious voice while folding his arms

“Although the thieves have been rehabilitated……these guys still haven’t fully become new men No, even if they become a new person ill they do now? Their name is red……”

“Chaotic”

“Yes, that is a problem If the chaotic status isn’t rees So they can’t sell anything, even if they hunt If they can’t pay the bills then they would probably be forced to becoain”

He orried about how the NPC thieves would live Other users h if they heard, but JusticeMan considered it a serious problem

“But according to the infor discovered, there is a statute on the chaotic NPC If they don’t coradually return to neutral”

Ark also knew that information When he asked Lorenzo about his future in Cairo, Lorenzo said that he didn’t intend to stay in Cairo If he visited a garrison in the city after becoet rid of the chaotic state with just a shtened the amount of money spent was to save some for the thieves’ bail Therefore, it was inevitable that the thieves would follow JusticeMan’s party with a sincere heart!

“So I decided to thoroughly train them how to survive here on edible wild plants and so on……but the Dark Brother organization knows about this place now? Even if they don’t couards of Selebrid of this location”

JusticeMan scratched his beard Sometimes Ark realized how kind he truly was and how rare it was in this world Anyway, JusticeMan’s heart was heavy so he complained to Ark It was because of Ark that the Dark Brother discovered the hideout He was responsible

“The assassin that attacked is the probleed to track you so far, but et away but if more come here then it would beco the eyes of the guards and the Dark Brother………but a village is needed to train the 300 thieves to beco, they have no choice but to enter a village for several living necessities”

Ark orried about the saled with the Dark Brother organization The crisis was averted, but if the same situation was repeated then Ark would find it quite frustrating Of course they couldn’t follow Ark forever in the game, but he needed a place to hide and avoid the attentions of the Dark Brother for a while

Once he heard the words a proper village, Ark’s head reflexively went up

“I know the right place”

“What? Where?”

“It is a suards and the villagers also don’t like outsiders In addition, there are many areas that haven’t been explored yet Ajusshi+ can probably hide the thieves there until the chaotic state is released”

“Ooh, there is such a place?”

“Yes, there is no guarantee that they will take 200 thieves in a chaotic state……I’ll try to soe chief to meet them”

“Okay Let’s go there at once”

JusticeMan became motivated and looked towards the hills As soon as Ark finished talking, they beganpreparations for the thieves to travel Meanwhile, Ark looked around for Sha the body of the Dark Brother assassin

“Shaus Mountains Did you want to come with us?”

“I……ht have some other business”

“Other business?”

“Yes, you called this guy a Dark Brother?”

Shambala pointed to the red palm mark on the assassin’s er and compared it to the mark

“A red palm symbol!”

“Didn’t I tell you before? In fact, I was looking for inforer I had before the ‘Black Frost Blade’ was ners It was a part of my job quest”

The words see fro an eye

“The dagger quest connected to the quest about seeking infor to find this information……”

“Then?”

“Once I found a clue on the ‘Dark Brother,’ I’ll have to go back to Selebrid Anye can’t do anything without Sid and there is the level restriction So let’s separate for the ain in Selebrid How is it?”

“Okay, send a letter after your business is done”

“I’ll do that And……it would be better for you to have this”

Shaaro’s secret map

“It’s only , but the difficulty for h So please hold on to this for the ti If you leave it in your snake, then I don’t have to worry about it dropping

“Okay, ah, I’ll give this to you”

Ark handed him 1 contract which had been squeezed from the merchants Ark couldn’t use it anyway since the recipient was Shah the contract

“Those dwarves froed to squeeze money from them”

“Well I thought about it and collected money from them If you don’t want it then I can stop it”

“Who would complain about money?”

Sha the contract Ark separated from Shambala who he had met after a while with an open heart However, Shae with a lot of things to do!

“Ark, we’re ready!”

“Yes, let’s set off To the pioneer village of Lancel!”
