I spent 2 days reaching Sarkh Village from No Man's Land. I ran non-stop and used quite a lot of Stamina Potion.
I'm standing outside Sarkh Village. I can't enter the village anymore, and I can't see Avriel from out here. But, at night ti, Avriel always has a routine to go outside Sarkh Village to hunt monsters in the woods. So right now, I'm waiting for her until nightti cos. I have around 4 hours before she's going to hunt monsters.
I wasted my ti by killing monsters in the woods until nightti. I went near Sarkh Village and observed the entrance to see Avriel. Then she left the village and went to the woods. I followed her from afar.
It's so dark in here. I activated Moon Eyes and now I can see everything, even the ants on the trees. Avriel is still walking deeper into the woods. Then suddenly she disappeared.
"Oh no..."
I'm looking around then I can see a shiny object coming towards . It's a dagger and I dodge it. Then a shadow appears not far from where I'm standing at. My eyes are following the shadow and then the shadow stops at the tree in front of .
"It's , Miss Avriel."
I turn around and Avriel is leaning on the tree behind . She smiles.
"You left Sarkh Village not so long ago, but you're already this good. I'm very impressed."
Avriel walks towards and tilts her head.
"So, what are you doing here stalking in the middle of the night?"
I grab the letter from Jariel and give it to her. She grabs it and reads it silently.
In just a few seconds after I gave her the letter, she's already pointing her dagger at my neck. She's glaring at without any expressions.
"Who wrote this letter? Don't you dare lie to or I will hang your dead body at the entrance of Sarkh Village."
I'm pointing at my eye. Avriel raises her eyebrow.
"How do you think I'm able to see your shadow in a dark place like this without any light? I drank the blood of your father, Jariel, the Eyes of the Moon."
Avriel puts down the dagger and reads the letter again. Then she looks at .
"Have you read what's inside the letter?"
I shake my head.
"No, I haven't. I don't think I should since it's a letter from a father to his daughter."
Avriel smirks and gives the letter.
"You can read it."
[Avriel, how have you been? I know you will notice who wrote this letter by the way I write the letters. I know you will not believe it, so I sent your talented kid to send you this letter.
There is sothing I would like you to know. Abandon your position before it is too late. You know what I'm talking about. The empire is not the sa like it used to be. Nobody can run away from the emperor's hands, so I will have sothing important for you to do. Find a docunt that I made at the "Pillar". You will know when you read the docunt.
I'm sorry that I cannot see you ever since I left the empire. Now I finally can write a letter to you and it makes happy. I will try to contact you more when the kid has the ti.]
I flip the letter and give it to Avriel. She grabs it and burns it down imdiately. She looks at while stepping on the burned letter.
"Are you free for the next few days?"
I nod.
"Yes, I'm free."
[Avriel's Favor]
[Help Avriel retrieve the docunt that is written in the letter. There is a chance you will encounter enemies during the quest. If you died during the quest, you will be forbidden to enter Elena Empire and Avriel's life will be in danger and there is a chance that NPC Avriel will die and will not respawn again.]
[Reward: None]
[Restriction: Cannot use teleportation device during the quest.]

If an important NPC dies under circumstances and will not respawn, the ga will replace them with a new NPC with the sa purpose as the previous NPC. But, the new NPC will have different hidden or side quests than the previous one. So basically if Avriel died from this quest. I can't get any information related to Krestan's quest since the new NPC won't give the information because they're not familiar with and Jariel will no longer have a hidden quest for the players. A butterfly effect is what they called it.
Avriel nods.
"Good, let us get going to Eluna Empire."
I nod and we both on our way to Eluna Empire.
I can't use a teleportation device, so we spent a week reaching Eluna Empire's capital city, Adrastea. Before we left Sarkh Village, I told Emma that I will be playing for a whole day and wake up when it's ti to eat. She understood and will wake up when there's an order from a custor as well.
It's nightti, Avriel is looking around.
"I want you to listen to ."
Avriel is looking at seriously.
"I want you to protect when I failed to retrieve the docunt stealthily. I don't know what is inside the docunt, but if my father asked to take it, it must be important enough to endanger the Eluna Empire. There is a chance that my own n will chase after us. When that happens, help kill them. Understood?"
I nod.
"Yes, I will protect you from them."
Avriel covers her face with a piece of black cloth and walks in front of . I'm following her from behind.
We entered Adrastea through the sewer and went to the surface in the suburban areas. Avriel pointed at the tall spiral building in the middle of the capital city. That's the "Pillar" that Jariel said in the letter. Then we both stealthily walked towards the building. When we arrived a few blocks from the building, Avriel was checking the surroundings.
It's the perfect ti to ask her about Krestan's left leg. So I approach him.
"Can I ask you sothing?"
Avriel looks at .
"Ask away."
I nod and look at her.
"Do you know where Krestan's left leg is at?"
Avriel is pointing at the top of the capital city. There's a huge building with so many watchtowers. As soon as I look back at her, a dagger is stuck on my neck and the tip of the dagger is already made a cut on my neck. Her eyes are locks on .
"Why did you ask? If you are thinking about getting that, I will end your life here."
I look her in the eye.
"Does it even matter now?"
I can see her teeth even though she covered her mouth with a cloth. She's grinning sinisterly to take my life away. She's pressing the dagger onto my neck. I raise my eyebrow.
"What? We are here basically doing sothing similar to my request. You're risking everything for a piece of a docunt that will lead to your betrayal to the empire... your empire. It doesn't change the fact that you're going to betray your own people. In the end, you will take your father's side over the empire."
Avriel chuckles and moves her daggers slowly to the side. My blood is dripping to my collarbone. It stings and itchy at the sa ti.
"What makes you think that I will betray the empire after I read what is inside the docunt?"
I chuckle and grab the dagger, but Avriel pushes my hand away from the dagger and tightly holds my hand.
"You're asking the wrong person. Do you not believe what your father said in that letter?"
I raise both of my hands. Hell no I want to try to argue with her any longer. I'm lucky enough she's not ending my life after all that. She can kill with a single hit without my lucky potion and daggers equipped. I tilt my head and smirk.
"How about this. If you're convinced after you read the letter and choose to betray the empire. You're going to tell where Krestan's left leg is at. If you're not convinced, then kill as soon as you read the docunt. You can order all your n to hunt down. You can do whatever you want to do to . How about that?"
Avriel raises her eyebrow and pulls her dagger away from my neck. She's cleaning her dagger by licking my blood on her dagger.
"That's a deal. I cannot wait to torture you every day."
I nod confidently since I know she will betray the empire because of that docunt. It's the sa as back then. I don't know what's inside the docunt since it was written in random scribbles that only Avriel and Jariel can understand that language. I didn't care back then so I really have no idea what's the docunt is all about. Maybe this ti I'll ask them.
Avriel sheaths the dagger and starts to move. I'm going to be a lookout for her while she's trying to retrieve Jariel's docunt.
Avriel disappeared in the shadow and reappeared inside the building. In less than ten minutes, she ca back with sothing in her hand. She approached and imdiately read the docunt. She clenched her fists and looked at in the eye. I tilted my head and waited for her response.
Avriel exhales deeply.
"Krestan's left leg is in the collection chamber in the palace. You won't be able to get that."
I shrug and smirk.
"With your help, I can."
Avriel smirks and nods.
"Fine, I will help you out. I have to see the face of that pig emperor for one last ti anyway."
