Chapter 22: Route

When he returned to the place, he forced himself to look calm.

He picked up the scroll sent by Jenny through the last receptionist who seemed to have forgotten who she was.

The scroll was brown in color, made of very hard leather.

Just by holding the scroll, he became doubtful of what information was actually written on the scroll.

Since it was already rather late, there were already quite a few empty parks.

He was finally able to sit down in one of those parks.

With his legs crossed, he opened the scroll slowly.

"Huh?"

His expression instantly became confused when he saw the contents of the scroll.

It turned out to be a map of the Eldorn Region.

Only, there was a single red line from the west that led to a certain location.

It seemed to be a route that someone wanted to take.

When he saw the destination location of that route, he could not help but show a strange expression.

It was close to Spring Hill, precisely in the small forest where he left the Queen Bee and her colony.

This was quite obvious as this map made clear the names of the places around that small forest, including Ron\'s Family Villa.

(What is this?)

Aldric couldn\'t help but ask Jenny.

(That\'s the route of a prince who will form a very powerful Genesis Core. He already has the method and almost all the ingredients. It only takes a monster soul and it is in the forest that he will find the monster soul.)

(What? Are you asking me to rob someone?)

Aldric was dumbfounded by Jenny\'s answer.

As a man who was raised with kindness, robbing people was something very reprehensible to him, a serious violation of the law. How could he possibly do that.

(Aldric, ohhh Aldric! This is a game, not the real world, what were you thinking?)

Jenny replied with words like she was laughing and crying.

In fact she added a lot of laughing and crying emojis.

(In the game, there are no restrictions on robbing other players, let alone just NPCs. Hey, you made me really laugh and cry. You probably don\'t know, everyone who has this information will try to rob the prince. As long as you don\'t get caught, nothing will happen to you).

Aldric, "..."

He suddenly realized that he was a bit stupid now.

When in this game world, he kept getting carried away with the feeling that he was in the real world so the way he acted kept following the way of the real world.

Now he realized that it was ridiculous.

(It\'s very close to my current location, when will the prince arrive?)

(It\'s probably about 5 hours away. You should prepare from now on, and you\'d better ask people for help. Your opponent is not just that prince, but another group of players. There are at least 3 groups that know about this. They have no small background. Ohh, right, make sure you use a mask to cover your identity. If any of the prince\'s troops get away, he will definitely report to the kingdom and that will make you hunted by the royal troops).

(Hmph, that\'s not entirely safe.)

(Come on, even if you are hunted down by NPCs, it won\'t make your actual life suffer. At most, you\'ll just have trouble wandering around in this game world. By the way, don\'t ask for help from people who have reached the 10th Stage. They should be below your level. If your companions are also at the 10th stage, I\'m afraid they will rob you after helping you.)

(Ok!)

Aldric then stood up, putting the map away.

Asking people for help wasn\'t something difficult for him since he had quite a few Level 10 Monster Cores.

The problem was who did he ask for help?

Other players or NPCs?

\'Mm, if they\'re NPCs, they probably won\'t be willing if invited to rob a prince. It would be hard to find a willing NPC,\' Aldric thought.

This was simple logic. In the eyes of those NPCs, robbing a prince was the same to the people of Earth as robbing the son of a big official.

It couldn\'t be done.

The only option was to ask the players for help.

Now Aldric wondered where he would ask for help.

On the forum might not be suitable as it would let people know of his actions.

However, there was no way he would announce this in the guilds.

Those guilds asked him to clarify the mission he was giving.

Would they accept a request that wanted to rob?

Aldric kept thinking of ways to find other players to help him while purchasing a black cloak with a hood and mask that covered his entire face.

If he was just looking for players, that was easy. However, what he needed were players who were already at Stage 8 or 9.

While walking around, Aldric suddenly encountered Eliot who seemed to have just returned to the city after an adventure.

His aura was still leaking slightly, indicating that he had gone on an intense adventure.

When looking at his aura with his current power, Aldric finally knew what stage he was in.

He was actually a 9th Stage Junior Magician.

"Dark Crow!"

The man greeted him immediately when he saw him, smiling slightly.

Although he was a nice guy, Aldric was a bit uncomfortable when he saw him again.

The problem was that he knew that he was Dark Crow.

And now he even called him by his nickname, unlike the usual one where he called him bro.

Without a doubt, he knew that Dark Crow had just sold 900 bottles of Honey of Life.

"Brother Eliot, looks like you just had a fierce fight," Aldric said.

"Yeahhh, I just killed a few Level 10 Monsters, it was tough but luckily they have ordinary strength so I was able to kill them even though my level is below theirs," Eliot replied.

"By the way bro, do you still have Honey of Life, I\'d like to buy a hotol or two if you have any," he added, this time calling him bro again.

He also said it very quietly.

Aldric was instantly rendered speechless, unsure of how to respond.

Seeing his silence, Eliot laughed.

"If it\'s gone, then never mind. Don\'t worry, I won\'t tell anyone that you\'re Dark Crow," he said.
