Chapter 170 During their search
(6Hr following the descent.)
"So, you've been here for three months now?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Yeah…"
After killing the green goblin with not too much difficulty, they killed 101 more chimeras, monsters of alchemical origin, creatures made from wood and metal, things that weren't even monster like but were 'creatures' and some undead that gave them a bunch of exp.
But after that, they were tired and made a safe zone for themselves to regain their strength.
"What kind of quest are you doing that you came to Kalp of all places? I don't think there's anything related to the Dark knights here."
Alex was cooking for them, and Elio was taking a nap after his head started hurting from excessive spell usage, so Odin and Alex were chatting as they prepared for their lunch.
"I cannot tell you the details, Miss. And besides, why is it that I'm the only one that has been doing the talking? Tell me something about yourself as well…
How's that someone with such a low level as you can use a sword even better than many high level sword users I've seen?
And how can Mister Elio cast five spells at once at that level? I don't think that's supposed to be possible."
"Yet here we are. Present in flesh."
He told them how he was doing a unique quest that required him to get close to the viscount and get something from his treasury.
He had been doing all kinds of things to get the attention of the viscount since he got here a few months ago.
And he was genuinely jealous of these two when he learned the two of them were the people that saved Moongold… along with many others, of course, but they were the prime contributors.
And for that simple achievement, they were directly meeting the viscount when he had to spend weeks and months to build up any kind of affinity with him.
"Are you some kind of ranker doing a unique quest? Are you actually high level or something?"
He was one of the many that had heard about how these two had saved Moongold from a dark mage at a low level.
It was known that their levels weren't even in their thirties when they fought the high level Mage.
And yet right now, they are over (Level-60) and that shouldn't be possible.
There was a limit to power leveling so, if they were actually the people that had saved the Town, their levels didn't really make any sense.
"No, no lol. We aren't any hidden rankers or anything. I mean, yes I'm doing a special quest of my own, but he's new. He doesn't even know half the things about the <NO> community."
He surely was a strong person now, but Elio was simply a new player in this world.
He still had a ton of things to learn, and that was visible in his lack of battle experience.
"Hmmm…"
Odin surely thought both of them were making their levels at first since, under the circumstances, they had revealed a few things about one another.
But now that he thought back to the various battles they have had with those weird things all this while, he could tell the insurmountable difference between his and Alex's level of experience, and the little experience Elio had with complicated battles involving terrain movements.
"You don't use that fancy looking sword either… is that a quest item or just a decorative sword?"
"Oh, no. It's a quest item. But it's kind of hard to explain what this is."
From Elio's observation until now, he had reached the conclusion that this person, Odin, was actually a pretty decent man.
He was a dark knight, but since he had gained this class recently, he didn't really know about his own powers yet.
"A lot of things are complicated about you two, I guess."
From their levels to their highly synergistic battle style. The strange spells that he was using with that stranger spell casting technique and even the sword techniques Alex was using… none of it was simple.
"We can tell you about us over lunch but there's nothing much fun we have done yet, you know? It's only been a few weeks since he started playing."
Alex and Elio…
"It's better if it's not a long chat anyway."
Though they were unique people with unique circumstances, he didn't mind hearing about a couple's experience in this special world. If anything, he wanted to know about them.
"Sure then…"
They talked a little more and finished lunch preparations before waking Elio up.
Then they all ate their lunch, talked about one another a little more, and when they were done with their food, they went out of their little safe zone barricaded by the dead bodies of creatures they had dealt with until now.
"We've checked the south and west sides, so let's go north this time."
They were looking for a black joker or a person wearing a black joker outfit.
They had cracked all kinds of places and met all kinds of psychopaths that threw weapons and bombs at them or made their 'pets' chase them, but none of them was a black joker.
"Elio, do you see anything from up there?"
"No!"
Alex was walking on the street while Elio was jumping from one rooftop to the other with his assistance spell.
Odin was on the ground walking a few feet away from Alex in case something happened.
He was looking at the back line, Alex was looking for the black joker, and Elio was looking at everything with his sharp eyes.
But they had not found anything until now.
"Oh wait. I see another house!"
The old connected rooftops were the only things that they had found until now and most of these places were either empty or were filled with a bunch of wild monsters.
But there were some isolated houses where the crazy psychopaths or people that were unbothered by their presence there lived.
They had found a bunch of these houses until now, and after checking all of them… they all just prayed that this one belonged to the target the three of them were looking for.
