Chapter 480: Before Leaving (1/2)

Days passed and one month later, Arkiv came once again.

Sam doesn't know why he came at this moment, but he still went to talk to him.

”So, are you done with the boxes?” Arkiv asked as they sat for the meal.

”Yeah, it's been a while. My device is ready to go.”

”So, when are you planning on going?”

”Why?”

”I am just asking casually. I didn't meet many of the other players, but I did get a chance to meet some of them. They are going to leave at the end of the year. Exactly, one year before the Palace of Inheritance opens.

This is the tacit understanding between all the players. Except for you and the twelfth guy, the rest of us had contact with at least two or more players.”

”I also had contact with two players. You and Arman from thunder god temple.”

”That's fair I guess.”

”But the twelfth person is still unknown. We don't know where he is and if he is coming to the next palace of inheritance or not. He didn't come to the second one and we don't know if he came to the first one.”

”He did.”

Sam said all of sudden making Arkiv stunned for a second.

”He did?”

”Yes, remember the time when I beat up all of you guys in the first palace of inheritance?”

”Yes.”

”That is when I know the existence of the players, he definitely came. I deliberately tore a piece of clothing from the backs and saw the tattoos. Just to confirm how many of us are there. That day, I counted twelve people. So, he is someone who came into contact with the major powers, but he seemed to have deliberately avoided the second one.”

”You could have died,” Arkiv said casually and Sam looked at him as if he was an idiot. Arkiv also understood that he didn't sound right.

It would be stupid to assume that one of the players died this early, of course, there is a possibility but that is low. Because every player is a soul that was given a second chance, they wouldn't be so stupid to die an early death just after they came into this new world with new opportunities.

The players wouldn't want to die a second time, their desire to survive is too intense compared to a normal person of this world.

After all, death is not a pleasant experience. No one would want to experience the situation twice.

So, he did find Arkiv's words a little bit stupid.

After that, they still proceeded with the small talk and Arkiv asked.

”So, when will you leave?”

”Didn't you just say that there is a tacit understanding between all the players, why would I want to break it? I will also go at the same time.”

”Actually, it is more of a fear than the tacit understanding. It is the fear of entering a new world. Unlike you, we don't have a chance of returning back. Even if we can return back, it wouldn't be any time soon.

That is why they are hesitant.

In fact, even I am a bit hesitant.”

”Really, sometimes the best way to overcome the hesitation is to do things on a whim. Why don't you try it?”

”Easy for you to say. Anyway, apart from that my intuition is warning me.”

”Intuition?” Sam asked with a smile.

”Of course, don't you dare underestimate the intuition of an archer. Whenever I opened the dimensional crosser and think of going the intuition is warning me. I don't know what happens if we go there. I wish I could get some more information.”

Sam looked at Arkiv meaningfully; he could guess why he came here. Their relationship is strictly a business one and all this small talk about players is because they can only talk to this stuff between themselves.

Sam doesn't have any relationship with other players, but since he did cross paths with this guy, he could still open up a little about this player stuff.

But other than that, they don't have enough relationship to discuss anything personal. He is just playing along and waiting for him to open up and say why he was truly here.

Now he seemed to be coming to the point.
