Jake chuckled. He just cracked up.
"You have got to be kidding . After I spend seven days in that hole that is cut off from the world, I am greeted by you guys?" Jake shook his head.
"Looks like the people that you warned about are here." Myriad Arrows also pointed out.
"Honestly, I am way too tired to even talk this out." Jake sighed as his sword appeared in his hands.
"Co out. For you to be so confident, you should have friends right?" Jake said.
He was looking at the sole man that stopped them dead in the track. This was a man who looked quite nacing, but after spending almost a week with literal dinosaurs, the definition of nacing was turned on its head.
"Haha. You must have had this happen to you before. And you still ca here? What an idiot." The bandit shook his head.
"I just don't get it. Why do you guys waste your ti? You guys waste your ti trying to steal." Jake shook his head.
One by one, people ca out of the shadows. They were bandits that were waiting behind the trees for a long ti, waiting for people to co though this deserted place.
Not many ca to the Croatian forest, but among those who did, too many were robbed, and so, this was a dead kingdom.
"I don't want to deal with this at all. Let us finish this up." Jake said.
Both of them suddenly beca a blur. At their agility and their levels, these players werent a match for them. It wasn't even close.
One slash!
It took only one slash of Jake's sword for him to take out most of the health of the bandit that stopped them.
In one attack, he fell back, gasping for air. He couldn't even respond.
"Are you serious? The people who blocked us were noobs? Then what the hell are you guys good for? You probably won't even have any loot on you." Jake shook his head as an arrow shot by his ear, and struck the first bandit.
The bandit's health bar slid to zero, and it was over. The bandit was gone. He was dead.
Seeing their companion die in just a mont did not make these bandits hot blooded. They were afraid now. They struck a hard rock that they just couldn't cut.
"Ah! That man? We don't know anything about him, sir. He was just spouting so nonsense." One of the remaining bandits quickly said.
Jake's grip on his sword loosened.
"Sh!t. I need to get back to Diffast so that I can log out and sleep. Better leave this here." Jake thought to himself.
"I am feeling generous today. And you guys probably won't even have anything good on you. Let us go, Myriad Arrows. We need to get to the guild fast, or the guild master will be pissed at us." Jake looked at Myriad Arrows.
Although Myriad Arrows wasn't sure what Jake was planning, he just went along with this skit that was in play.
The bandits let these two travelers pass and the duo was on their way.
After they were a good distance away, Myriad Arrows just had to ask.
"Why did you stop? We could easily defeat them." Myriad Arrows said.
"It isn't worth it. Killing too many will give us the red badge. That is just bad karma. And they don't even have good loot. Killing them is a waste of ti. We have to get back. I am way too tired." Jake said.
"Alright. Whatever you say." Myriad Arrows sighed.
Jake knew which direction they had to run, and they were on their way again. The ti it took to reach their destination was about an hour, just like Jake had predicted.
Even from inside the thick forest, they could see the city ahead of them. But the city was anything but giant. It had no big buildings.
When they went through the gates, they knew that this was a dead city.
But the only good thing that ca from entering the city was that they had entered a safe zone. From here on out, it was sweet sailing.
Getting from the city borders to the city center, where the portal could be accessed, was easy. The city was small. Much smaller than even the capital city of Croatia. This was a different city, and it was the outskirts of the kingdom.
Much of the kingdom was the forest itself, and that was what made the ancient kingdom a desolate spot.
They stopped at the teleportation portal, and did not even reminisce about their ti here. They had no energy to stop and think.
Jake paid the fee and walked through the portal without a second thought. Myriad Arrows followed soon after, and they were greeted by the familiar sight of civilization.
The teeming city brought a smile back to the exhausted Jake's face. He looked around and then back at Myriad Arrows.
"Where to next? Back to the guild?" Myriad Arrows asked.
"As much as I would love to get back to the guild, what we have with us is way too precious to keep at the guild. We need to put it sowhere that no one can break open." Jake said.
"So the bank."
"Yes. I have an account there. Let us get going then." Jake said, jumping to the city streets.
He went straight, as the bank was in the central street. A bank had more money than anyone else, so it was understandable that it had a giant building of its own.
The Reich Bank, its nas written in gold.
They entered the bank, and the mont that Jake entered, an attendant appeared next to him.
"Baron King. Welco back. What brings you here?"
"I want to deposit a little sothing here."
