Leiu was still shaken, his eyes hollow and filled with confusion. While carrying the worried Alethia, he made his way out of the manor, marching with rapid steps toward the origin of the piercing scream.
A couple of minutes earlier, two hundred meters away from the Gicolt manor, in the wide commercial street of the city, Fairti and Mira were running away from a bunch of Disposable Scout Automata and Disposable Aerial Scout.
Mira was able to take down the ones that attacked them in the manor but they were forced to flee. Fairti’s shoulder was injured and he was losing a lot of blood. Fortunately, he managed to bandage it using some of his ripped clothes but he was showing signs of fatigue, his fa
“I assume my instructions are crystal clear, yes?” Zeno, the King’s counselor, was in a dimly lit room, facing several people. His eyes narrowed as they focused on one particular person, a woman with bunny ears… a female beastmen. “Y-yes!” “I want him alive! Don’t use force. I want him to come here willingly yet unwittingly.” “Unwittin-what?” Femy, the rabbit woman, stuttered as she tilted her head in confusion. “Unintentionally. Lure him here without any means necessary.” “Sir, how can we make him come willingly and, err, unwittin...gly?”
Volume 3 : Glory to Noules!Act1 : Tales of Demons and DevilsIt took Leiu and Fairti only a couple of hours to cross the canal. The System Notification informing him of the newly saved chapter appeared mid-way. Too dispirited and grief-stricken, Leiu only thought about those he had lost, those who were too weak to save.Fairti, with the help of Health Potion and some bandages, was able to slightly recover. Nevertheless, after appearing on the other side, Leiu teleported to the Eternal Abyss Manor along with his remaining friend.The two were blood-soaked, but it was hard to tell whether it’s their blood or the enemies’ blood. Unlike his companions and friend, Leiu was in a worse condition, his body in a complete wrec
When Leiu and Fairti Gicolt eating dinner and chatted for about an hour, they headed upstairs, to their rented inn room. It was a small room with two beds, a simple dusty wooden desk, and a couple of creaking chairs stuffed in one of the corners. This place- without a doubt- was shabbier than the Eternal Abyss Manor, but it’s better than camping in the middle of the forest. Leiu thought it unnecessary to waste his limited teleports just to spend the night in the manor instead of here. “So…” Fairti jumped on the bed and spread his limbs to all sides, stretching them in a comical manner and letting out embarrassing moans. “What will we do now? I know that I said we should stay in Moonlake but maybe you have others plans?” “He’s a weird one.”Hye Nari kept looking back at the smiling Fairti while forcing a friendly smile.A short bout of silence passed before Nari spoke again.“I’ve dug into the Shallow Mer. There were so many players interested in it.”“Ah, you don’t need to do that anymore.”As he said that, Leiu fished out three items from his inventory, much to his boss’ surprise.“These are…?”“They were the materials I needed to do the summoning. But I no longer can enteRe; Hell Gate Chapter 270 : The Theory
“Hm? It’s not working.” Hye Nari frowned as she looked at the translucent blue window of the System. “What is?” The woman looked confused, repeatedly activating the skill but nothing happened. “I can’t teleport back to Earth.” “Ah! Maybe there are anti-teleportations spells put around the manor. They are generally used in important and well-secured places, like the Royal Castle and vaults…” Nari looked at the blonde noble but didn’t comment. She kept touring the manor and after having had enough, she was taken back to her office. Fairti’s speculation turned out to be half-correct. In truth, once inside the Eternal Abyss Manor, only its owner, the Dark Knight, can take you inside. Even if you have a high-leveled unique teleportation spell or skill, it will be rendered useless. “My attorney friend won’t take long. Meet me here in three days… by that time, I should have gathered enough evidence to prove your innocence.” “...” Leiu, at first, did not respond, he looked at the m
“This tastes so bad!”Fairti coughed then spat the black lollipop he was eager to try just a second ago. His face had a comical grimace as he tried to wipe his tongue on his sleeves while jumping up and down like a kid.Leiu didn’t like the sweet too but he didn’t over-react like his friend. He merely put down his hand and discarded the black lollipop, a bit regretful for spending five gold coins on two of them.Instead of completing quests or farming monsters, Leiu spent the next three days touring the fabulous and bustling Moonlake city, enjoying everything it has to offer. Whether it’s the Magical Artefact Museum or the theatre, which was fascinating but not better than the ones on Earth. Nonetheless, the Dark Knight had fun and forgot about
It has been three days since Leiu’s last meeting with Hye Nari. Due to the constant whining of Fairti, he had to leave him in the manor to rest and eat his fill. Meanwhile, Leiu teleported to Earth, appearing right inside of the manager’s office.The moment he appeared, Leiu’s nose was assaulted by a strong and nauseating smell. His eyes immediately rested on Nari’s chair. Like always, she was sitting there, however, there was blood splattered on the ground, the desk, and a bit of the wall.It was like a bucket of cold water was dumped on the youth. He stood there, astonished beyond belief, his quivering eyes staring fixedly on Hye Nari, who laid motionless and lifeless on her chair.“Boss!” “Okay, I got it.”“What? That’s it?” Leiu looked up to the noble youth, who didn’t question anything of what he said.Just before the regression, the two traveled to Moonlake City and throughout the route, Leiu would explain what happened to Fairti. It was an effective way to take their mind off what happened in NetherFrost. Unexpectedly, when Leiu told the first story, his friend didn’t call him a liar or doubt any word, much to his surprise.“I thought-”“What did you think?” Fairti interrupted him and chuckled.“I mean, I know enough about you to know that you’re not inteRe; Hell Gate Chapter 274 : Akito Silverheart
