Chapter 24
“Honestly, I didn’t believe the ru Uruo by yourself If it was one vs one, then perhaps, but that bastard is not the type that goes anywhere by alone”
“In that case, were you thinking I must have teamed up with someone? I don’t even know anyone”
“Don’t know anyone? What do you ether with Dokgo Hoo?”
“Ah, there is that guy”
It has not even been teeks, but it felt like Vulcan had not seen hi time
‘It must be because there were a lot of incidents and accidents’
“Anyway, I fought Uruo and his men by myself”
“Okay I believe you Although it is still hard for yup”
“It wasn’t like we actually fought He backed out first”
“Is that so? Hin with Ah, this is not the important part”
Froht out a paper that was folded up and then solance at it to observe It was a map
“With your level of skills, it shouldn’t be a proble ht?”
“Uo to a place with fewerat the area?”
Honestly, Vulcan was feeling a little uneasy about it
At Jake’s level, even a scratch froate area would mean death to him
“Of course Even I know my life is precious Stay alert as you follow me”
“I will”
“Mana Ar”
After cast protective spells on Jake, Vulcan also activated a detection skill
As Jake lead the ith confident steps, Vulcan followed his back like an attendant
Jake was not joking about having lived in Beloong City for a long time
Along the journey, there were hardly any ression toward Vulcan and Jake Once in a blueat them, but the monsters were neutralized easily
Most of the roups In the south gate field, where there the monsters always outnumber the people, Vulcan found it to be h the area was so uneventful
It was just about when they could no longer see any monsters or people
They arrived at the destination safely Before they realized, the scenery, which used to be a greenfield, had changed to dry soils Also, there were things that caught Vulcan’s eyes Five large stones, like so froon shape
“We are here”
“There is nothing here though”
Really, besides the stones, there was nothing else here
Let alone monsters, there wasn’t even a Max Level Tree which was usually very common It was just a wasteland
Jake ignored Vulcan’s comment, which had a bit of a coht out a wooden pot and a crusher The wooden pot’s inner surface was stained in blood, and that made Vulcan very suspicious about its use
“Mr Jake Just what are these…”
Vulcan asked to solve his curiosity, but soon his face turned to stone
CRUsh!+
Before Vulcan realized, there were several goblin and orc hands With an unidentified scroll placed inside the pot, Jake started to put pressure into to crushi+ng them
CRUsh!+ CRUsh!+
SCRATCH… SCRATCH…
Blood drops splashed to Jake’s face every time he crushed the contents
Perhaps Vulcan wasit, but after a while, Jake’s expressionless face suddenly showed a sign of a faint s witnessed a macabre side of Jake, Vulcan took a step back
CRUsh!+ CRUsh!+
Broken bits of theinto smaller pieces
Jake had been working on crushi+ng the contents for a while, and now he laid down the crusher and took a breath S with a satisfaction, Jake looked toward Vulcan
“U like that?”
“… I should be the one to ask that question, Mr Jake What in the world are you doing? Are you here to bury dead bodies?”
Jake gave a blank stare at Vulcan for a hter
“Haha That’s not it I didn’t explain what I was going to do before I started, so I can understand how you got the wrong idea Still, since it is al mana”
Jake put his hand toward the pot and injected his mana into the pot
Mana flowing out of Jake’s hand touched the contents inside it Now curious, Vulcan watched Jake with an anticipation on what’s about to unfold
About one minute had passed
Having completed mana injection, Jake pulled his hand away froht started to pour out of the pot
The ht, which had tint closer to that of blood, gradually grew in size Eventually, it becah Looking at the oval shaped light, Jake said,
“This will be your hunting ground from now on”
“…By chance, was all that for su?”
“The process is a little off-putting, isn’t it?”
Jake laughed out big time Vulcan responded,
“It isThat, do I need to do that every time I come here?”
“You know very well I will lend you the pot and the crusher I will also give you the ingredients later”
THUMP
ROLLROLLROLLROLL
The pot and the crusher, which still had blood and flesh on them, rolled toward Vulcan’s feet Vulcan stepped back a little and objected,
“Is so this cue of rounds”
“It is worth the effort”
Jake stepped in close to Vulcan and whispered in his ears It wasn’t like there was anyone around to listen, so Vulcan thought Jake was over doing it, but he was surprised by what Jake had to say
“This place It is a place of a hidden quest”
“… There are others besides the main quest?”
“I do not know if there are more, but this place is definitely one I know because I went in there once”
Looking at the portal, Jake added,
“Well, you will know once you enter, but a quest notification will come up The monster levels are around 350 I don’t know about the boss I only went up to the entrance with my master and came back My master was also the one that told me about this place”
“You also have a master?”
“I use to He went to Act 2 now Well, it is not like he taughttechniques To explain, he was more like a benefactor who found me a reason to live in this place I learned the ropes in merchant business from him”
