Vol 10 Chapter 4 (1/2)
ACT 4 Working Part-tie in the Valley
“Phee’ve finally arrived”
Around dawn, the skyrays finally set down at the village entrance Even then Lariette was still clinging tightly to Ark with her eyes closed Her arms wrapped around his waist still trembled even when they landed
“Lariette-nim, it’s fine now We’ve arrived”
Lariette opened her eyes and looked around quickly After seeing the ground, she let out a relieved sigh and said in a quivering voice
“S-s-scary It was really scary”
“…You endured it well”
“I’ off”
Lariette dismounted from the skyray with a pale face But she couldn’t even walk a few steps before her weak legs collapsed
“The heavens and earth is spinning…ah, I still feel sick…”
‘Well, isn’t it reasonable?’
Ark scratched his head with an e the skyrays wasn’t that great If he looked at the appearance of the skyray, the whole body was its wings In other words, the whole body would shake every tis Furthermore, there weren’t any safety devices attached like a onto the reins, your body would still rock up and doith every flap so of course sohts would fear for their life That wasn’t all
The Netherworld wasn’t a place where soh the sky Storms would randomly occur and they were even attacked by wild skyrays once or twice…they experienced all of that during a 1 hour flight In order to escape thecomplicated manoeuvres which tortured Lariette Thanks to that, Lariette had a new phobia of skyrays and heights
“Scary…do you kno scary it was? Really, really, really scary Sob, I’ain Never ever Do you understand? Sob”
Lariette muttered tearfully like a maniac She was probably quite serious But……she looked like a little kid whining……and he thought it was kind of cute Anyway, she was in a panicked state for a while In fact, this was actually an opportunity Anyone would know that their impression would beco this situation Unfortunately, Ark didn’t have a knack for such things Dedric was much better at it compared to Ark
“Sheesh, they can’t understand the ro…women…”
Dedric pouted and muttered as he passed by
“Well, I’h you’ll be accoue But you better not mess with the number 2 person”
He seeirl he teased Ark burst out laughing But the childish words were unexpectedly accepted by Lariette A faint smile appeared on Lariette’s pale face At the same time, her io skyrocketed
‘Eh? What scene is this? That apology actually worked?’
Ark couldn’t comprehend it If Ark was in Lariette’s position, he would i sassy Men and women really were shaped differently
‘Well, at least Dedric and Lariette reconciled’
“I’ to take the skyrays to their kennel Teacher is waiting so Ark and Bona should go there first”
Guran said before herding the skyrays to their kennel Ark and Bona entered the village When they entered, Beseutyu who had been waiting anxiously in front of his house rushed towards the without any sleep Bona had been behaving calrandfather and ran towards him
“Grandfather!”
“Sob, oh…ooh…B-Bona!”
Beseutyu and Bona e days…eh? Come to think of it, it had been 16 hours since Ark arrived in the village which was 2 days game time Their reaction made it seem like it had been a whole week Well, anyone would be thrilled that their grandson ca kidnapped
“I’lad”
Lariette muttered as her complexion seemed to return to normal She felt a lot of affection for Bona since they had been captured together Of course, Ark was also thrilled about the reunion He had rescued the baby samel Noas time to be rewarded by Papa Smurf Why wouldn’t he be thrilled? After a few s and led them towards his house
“I’m sorry They said that they wanted to help you I didn’t realise they were villains targeting you…my heart was so worried that I couldn’t see the motives”
He was referring to when he leant Jewel’s group some skyrays Ark just smiled and shook his head
“No I received their help anyway”
He wouldn’t have been able to overcome Tamura without the help of Jewel’s party Beseutyu’s head tilted but he didn’t question it He only cared about the fact that his grandson was rescued
“……Honestly, I thought I wasa mistake when I heard that he was captured by the Nakujuk I thought I would never see ain…I don’t kno I can repay the favour”
“It was my pleasure I couldn’t just stand by and watch as a little boy was sacrificed by a wicked group But I won’t reject Beseutyu’s sincere heart”
Ark repliedit on the ic projector He didn’t want tofor a reward Ark was smart and danced around the subject Beseutyu nodded with an impressed face
“You really are like the incarnation of Rarukan”
“Rarukan? I’ve heard Guran say that before…who is Rarukan?”
Ark didn’t ask this because of mere curiosity Guran had mentioned the na, there was a high possibility that it was important information For example, it could be related to a quest or related to a quest coht It was siue in the old RPG ga
“Rarukan is a legendary warrior in our tribe”
“Legendary warrior?”
“To be more precise, Rarukan is the God of abundance in our clanBut a long tio ere driven from the North by the Nakujuk clan who tried to exterh we tried to reward hi us his name so we just called him Rarukan”
Disappearing without compensation?
“Ah, indeed That’s right!”
At that h a pile of boxes in the corner
“It should be somewhere here…no, it’s not Somewhere…oh, here it is!”
Beseutyu returned holding a small jewellery box
“I ondering how I should repay you, but I re about Rarukan This will be useful for you”
Inside the jewellery box was a ring It see fro
“This ring was specially designed with gratitude and respect towards Rarukan Although our Baran clan is now scattered, we once had a lot of influence in the NorthAnd this ring was created using the best materials we could find and the best work After that we kept it with the family of the Baran’s record-keepers……as the incarnation of Rarukan, I think you have the qualifications to receive this ring”
Itthe ring Although it was the latest technology, the coaend,’ it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that the item should be one of the finest
‘Huk, a level 200 unique ring!’
Rarukan’s Ring (Unique)
Ite
User restriction: Level 200 and more
A ring specially designed by the inhabitants of the Netherworld for the legendary warrior Rarukan
This ring was designed a long tio when the Baran clan still prospered The size is small but it was ic of the Netherworld In addition, the ring possesses a jehich has the power to protect the wearer froe to Rarukan’
<option: agility=”” +10,=”” attack=”” speed=”” +10,=”” critical=”” hit=”” +8=””>
<special option:=”” you=”” can=”” use=”” the=”” skill=”” ‘dark=”” protection’=”” when=”” used=”” in=”” the=”” darkness,=”” your=”” defense=”” and=”” ic=”” resistance=”” will=”” increase=”” by=”” 20=”” for=”” 5=”” minutes =”” cool=”” down=”” time:=”” 2=”” hours=””>
Ark’s mouth dropped at the informationHe didn’t need to explain it, but it was definitely a jackpot This was his ring Unlike weapons and ars didn’t have a secondary option In fact, even the rare ring Ark earing now only had the skill ‘Mind’s Eye’ without any added bonuses However, three options…2 of them were valuable options which increased his attack speed and critical hitThose two options were difficult to find in ic items
‘My attack speed and critical hit probability dropped once I changed to Gwisal’s sword…but this ring increases my defense as well…!’
But was that all? It even had ‘Dark Protection’ as a special option
This increased his defense and ic resistance by 20 The standard of the skill wasn’t that high, but it only had a 2 hour cool down time It was a skill that could be utilized actively
‘As expected, it was good to ask about Rarukan! It gave !’
Ark was delighted He would explain it briefly, but there were 5 types of iteendary Anyone who played the game would know about these 5 types General iteic items more comood option A unique item was definitely unique Unique itehtly better In soht even have a lower performance The reason it was more expensive on auction sites was became of its scarcity While several of the same rare items could exist, there was only 1 of every unique ite was the only one that existed in New World
Well, a legendary item had the best performance and options but it was so rare that none had been seen yet……anyway, a unique ite items on the auction site
‘The Netherworld is the land of opportunity!’
Very few people had co corab the best rewards froet rid the itemsSo the first person to complete the NPC’s quest would probably receive his best item Since it wasn’t possible to receive the same reward, other people who cogest rewards were given to users who discovered a new area Of course, such opportunities weren’t just given If he hadn’t asked about Rarukan then it would’ve been replaced with another item That’s why he had to pay attention to receive the best reward Discovering the backstory was the whole point of a game
“O”
As a wo
“Uh-hum, thank you very much I will use it well”
Ark coughed and hurridly packed the ring into his bag
-The quest <rescue bona=””> has been completed
He increased 3 levels after the e appeared Thus he completed the first quest he received in the Netherworld
“By the way, the information I wanted you to check…”
“Oh, about that person called Magaro?”
Buksil juaro However, Ark deliberately pretended not to notice and continued talking
“Yes, did you find anything?”
“I’m sorry I’ve been so worried about Bona that I haven’t checked yet”
Beseutyu pointed towards the large stack of scrolls
“I’ll start looking for it now But what you see here is all the records form the past hundreds of years If it was related to a special event then it’ll be indicated separately and I could find it i for the record of a simple visitor is more difficult So please wait 3 days”
‘Three days…but waiting is not the problem…’
There was no doubt that Jewel updated her resurrection point to this village It had been 11 hours since those guys died in the Abyss of Despair so there was still 19 hours until resurrection, but 24 hours in reality was 3 days in game time Jeould eventually resurrect here Ark orried for a while before he thought of a method
“I understand I ait three days But I have one request”
“Request? What is it? I do whatever you say”
His intirinned and nodded at Ark’s words
“That won’t be difficult Understood, 2 days later did you say? I will do it”
“And there is so else I want you to check
Ark briefly explained about the Red Man who appeared after he defeated Tamura
“Aa white mask He also crossed into the Netherworld froh possibility that he had entered the Netherworld before Please see if you can find any data on it”
He was behind the events that happened in the Underground World So he had been in middle earth until then If he entered the Netherworld io Ark was convinced that the Red Man held the key to passing the entrance exaht have some ulterior motive if he ran away He would continue to look for inforaro’s quest
“I see Don’t worry and just rest comfortably”
Beseutyu raised his ar the situation, Ark headed outside
“Ark-nioing to log out for a little bit Because of the earlier flight……”
Lariette said with an unsteady face
“Yes, you can enter at this time tomorrow”
“Me too……I’ve been playing the game for 15 hours so I’m sleepy…”
Buksil had stayed up all night following Ark so he also quit the game
“So ill I do now……?”
Arkleft alone on the street He had stayed up all night so it was dawn in reality Norym But yesterday, Ark had received an unexpected phone call fro
“Hyun-woo, I won’t be able to go to the gym for a while due to various circuym until I contact you Don’t just play around and et back to you after a couple of ym Okay?”
The police agency had spread ru’s de-ryong wanted to prevent Ark froym Thanks to that, Ark didn’t have a set time to sleep or exercise
‘I can’t just wait around town…should I get some sleep or hunt in the area? Oh, before that…”
Ark took out Rarukan’s ring fro He couldn’t wear it while Lariette was still present Ark conte ‘Mind’s Eye’
‘Mind’s Eye’ was a rare ring but it only had a skill and no other options On the other hand, ‘Resurrecting Spirit’ boosted his strength andwould be better
‘I don’t use Mind’s Eye that frequently so I should only wear it when necessary’
With an excited expression, Ark er And just as he was about to put it on…!
“Ark-nim!”
Ark suddenly heard a voice fro
“Huk, !”
Ark scrahtly He looked like a hungry beggar picking up a three day old piece of bread He had acted instinctively When he raised his head and blinked, he realised that it was Bona who had sneaked up on him
“Huood”
“Do you like pretty rings?”
Bona asked while Ark sht of Bona’s friendly face
“Ah…as the number 2 I am so ashamed”
Dedric sighed
Ark aardly grinned and nodded
“Well, that, that is…”
“Ark-nie”
“Visit the village?”
Ark said with an uncomfortable look Ark was a huao around the village instead of hunting? But Bona just grabbed Ark’s ar Ark didn’t dare reject Bona so he was inevitably dragged alongHowever, it wasn’t a bad choice to follow
‘Eh? There was soe?’
Ark hadn’t even explored 50 of the village
“This is a sap refinery There are a lot of trees with special characteristics in the forests near here We extract the sap, refine it and then barter with other villages related to us In addition, we have a variety of plants in our fields”
Bona guided him to a workshop he hadn’t seen before Since it was concerned with the village’s production, outsiders were forbidden fro there However, he was able to access , Ark’s opinion of the Myutal changed a little bit The Myutal…no, the Baran tribe was not as uncivilized as Ark thought The Uht were itee Since most of the products were used to trade with other tribes, they only had a few of them
