Chapter 40
2.
The users of Oren Village couldn't contain their excitent.
It wasn't often that an event was held in a second village.
Moreover, it was a large-scale event!
There was no way they wouldn't be excited.
They could receive the quest just by going to the central plaza of the village.
The plaza, usually crowded with users, was now packed with people, leaving no room to even set foot.
"Ah! Don't push!!"
"Let's keep order!!"
"I'm participating in the event too!"
The crowd trying to get the quest to participate in the event.
"Wow, so many people! There are so many..."
"Looking for group 62!"
"Hey, what team number are you?"
"I'm on team 39."
The crowd that had already received the quest and was trying to et with their group mbers.
"Huh, so many outsiders have gathered."
"Good fortune will surely co to the village!"
"It's all thanks to the village head, hahaha."
Even the NPCs were happy, thinking about the inco that would be generated by the influx of users.
A middle-aged man with a sly look watched the crowded central plaza from a high-rise residence.
At first glance, he had a benevolent impression, but when he opened his small, narrow eyes wide, the malice hidden beneath them seed to show.
The middle-aged man stroked his goatee.
It was a habit he often displayed when he had sothing up his sleeve.
"Kekeke, they're gathering nicely."
The middle-aged man looking down at the users from his residence with a sinister smile was none other than Oren Village's headman, Xyle.
Naturally, he was an NPC.
So users treated Eternal World's NPCs like those in other gas, but
He was incomparable to those ordinary NPCs.
He thought and acted on his own.
It wasn't for nothing that the genius Park Won had given the ga the title "Another World, an Eternal World."
Xyle, thanks to his advanced AI, was truly like a 'person.'
He wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice others for his own greed.
He also didn't hesitate to trample on others, while outwardly trying to hide such actions.
If the users knew him, they would be surprised at how human-like he was.
However, perhaps because he thoroughly hid his ulterior motives,
None of the users knew his ugly side yet.
Even among the villagers, only a handful knew his true nature.
'If I gather the outsiders like this, I'll be able to obtain the treasure in that wicked Rox's tomb.'
According to what Xyle had learned, Rox's tomb was a giant labyrinth.
A dangerous place teeming with perilous traps and monsters.
It wasn't a place that Xyle, a re village head, could easily go alone.
Even if he knew the way through the labyrinth.
But what if the outsiders rushed in like a pack of dogs?
There cos a mont when the labyrinth is empty.
Xyle was planning to seize that opportunity and search for the hidden treasure.
With a sinister thought in mind, Xyle looked around at the gathered users.
'These outsiders are the hunting dogs who will find my treasure.'
As Xyle was thinking this, he suddenly
Saw a user with eyes that montarily glowed teal.
"Hmm?"
The user was staring intently at him as if he knew Xyle was there.
As Xyle t the user's gaze,
He felt an inexplicable chill run down his spine.
Despite having black hair and black eyes,
Just monts ago, they were clearly shimring with an eerie teal light.
As he shuddered and stepped back,
The user disappeared into the crowd.
"Wh-What was that?"
Was his spirit weakened, causing him to see things?
Or could it be...
'Is he soone who ca here coveting my treasure?'
As that thought crossed Xyle's mind,
He shook his head, trying to deny it.
That couldn't be.
He was the first to discover the map leading to Rox's tomb.
That was an undeniable fact.
In other words, only Xyle knew where Rox's hidden treasure was.
'There's no way he could know.'
Xyle reassured himself and cald down.
3.
The user with teal glowing eyes who briefly made eye contact with Xyle.
Who else could it be but Seonghyun?
Seonghyun avoided Xyle after their eyes t.
His impression of Xyle, from their brief encounter, was simple.
'He looks really greedy.'
Should he say he had a typical swindler's face?
He had an impression of soone full of greed.
Exactly as the Ghosts had said.
It seed the saying "There are no bad children under a good father" was wrong.
It was strange that the son was so different when the forr village head was said to be so kind and wise.
He wasn't particularly curious about Xyle's sche.
He already knew it.
The quest was his priority.
'Anyway, I received the quest.'
『Rox's Tomb』
→《Rare》
→It is said that Xyle, the village head of Oren Village, has been troubled by sothing lately.
It's none other than Rox's tomb, which was recently discovered in Oren Village.
Rox was a mage who was active in Oren Village a long ti ago, and despite his outstanding skills, he had an evil heart.
The tomb of the wicked mage Rox is causing great anxiety for the long-ti village head, Xyle.
You will help Oren Village and secure Rox's tomb.
Perhaps you will find sothing valuable in Rox's tomb.
→ Level restriction: 50 or lower, users who have not undergone their second class advancent.
→ Reward: 10 gold
items obtained from Rox's tomb.
→ This quest will be carried out in pairs of 2.
Caution!
* Seonghyun's current group number is 99.
* If you do not enter with your group mber, you will be expelled from Rox's tomb.
* However, you will not be expelled if your group mber dies.
The quest details were quite thorough.
It was even a Rare ranked quest.
Moreover, it recognized items obtained from Rox's tomb.
No wonder the users were going crazy.
However, to Seonghyun, who knew the truth of this incident,
It was nothing more than a shallow trick.
'He wrote it so transparently.'
If he hadn't heard it from the ghosts, Seonghyun wouldn't have known either.
Furthermore, he had also heard where Rox had hidden his items.
This ti, Seonghyun's goal was to obtain Rox's hidden treasure before Xyle.
However, he was concerned about having to move with a group mber.
Rox's tomb, like other dungeons, had a party system.
Fortunately, it was a 2-person group.
It was better than forming a party and entering directly.
'Where should I look?'
Since quite a few users had already departed,
There weren't that many people left in the plaza.
Even so, it was still bustling.
While looking around to see if anyone was looking for group 99 among them,
Seonghyun spotted a strange person.
A user wearing a large straw hat, with long hair like a horse's tail, a twig in their mouth, and laughing "Huhuhu."
They were wearing clothes that resembled a Hanbok, with a long sword at their waist, one hand resting on the hilt.
They had the appearance of a naless warrior.
If you passed by them briefly, you might mistake them for an NPC.
However, judging from the icon above their head that symbolized a user,
They were definitely a user.
'Hmm, they seem to be role-playing.'
As Seonghyun thought so and was about to move on,
"Huhuhu, I am the Joseon's Best Swordsman. The one who is in a group with , co out imdiately."
"Hmm."
He should avoid them.
They didn't seem to be in their right mind.
As Seonghyun tried to slip away and find his group mber,
"Huhuhu. The mber of group 99, co out quickly."
Flinch.
Seonghyun turned his head again with a look of disbelief and looked at the self-proclaid Joseon's Best Swordsman.
Noticing Seonghyun flinching, they laughed "Huhuhu" and t his eyes.
With a strange exclamation of "Oh?
