Why?
"Why did you tell him all that?"
The old man turned around and gave Martin a scolding look, this white-haired and white-bearded old man wears a white robe encrusted with precious gems, he wears several necklaces that look very expensive, and a golden cross with a beautiful scarlet gem in the center dangles. from his right ear.
"You told things that they didn't ask you, I'm afraid that if I didn't come you would tell all our secrets."
Needless to say the identity of this old man, head of the Jubileus family and leader of XCountry's Saint #1 guild, Kasirc Jubileus.
"Man, I was just trying to save my life, I'm sorry, I got nervous and spoke without thinking too much."
Martin spoke a little shaky, seemed remorseful for his earlier performance, and immediately apologized.
"Hmm"
Kasirc waved his hand and decided not to care, there was something even more important than this now.
The bastard younger son of his sister seems to have obtained something incredible from the first floor, this instant teleportation ability is very high level, no need for magic formations, spells or moves, just disappear as if he was never here.
"We have to find him, if he becomes our enemy he could cause us problems in the future."
Kasirc said with a serious look on his face, although he doesn't look like it he's a bit angry, if I had known that he would have such good skills from the beginning then I would have invited him to a secondary guild headquarters to keep an eye on him, but now the boy can have bad prejudices about them and you won't want to join after all you heard.
...
"Was that an attack?"
Outside the ship, Lizzard and Thunder stood by the corpses of the Killer duo looking up at the sky with shocked expressions.
A moment ago, both of them were heading to the ship to find the enemy after the Killers fell for no apparent reason, however, their actions were stopped by the clones in the sky, only the next second a lightning flashed from nowhere, annihilating both of them. all the enemies and fell to the ship.
There was no cloud that could shoot that lightning earlier, they both thought that it could be an attack from a powerful person, it could be from their leader, or even worse, from the people who are above their leader and commissioned this mission.
"Shit..."
Thinking of those people, the bodies of these two began to tremble because they had let through a powerful enemy, they reneged on their role, and even the high-level power of the organization was halved, and not only that, it is estimated that all the subordinates aboard the ship had been hacked to death by Thunder itself.
At that moment, they both noticed the exit of an old man accompanied by a young man, he walked with dignity and did not seem to have any problems due to his age.
"S-sir, excuse us, we didn't complete the task properly."
"Yes, I promise you that the payment will be returned in double, no, in triple!"
The two hurried up and apologized to the old man while bowing their heads from him like a child being punished by his parents.
"Hmm."
The old man didn't say a word to answer, he continued walking next to his niece and then made a slight movement with his hand, waved it up and down as if he was saying goodbye to him, however.
Rumble* Squeak*
A huge lightning bolt, like a giant pillar of electricity, fell from the sky lighting up the night in an unknown radius of meters, it is estimated that even more than a kilometer away, the brightness could be seen in the sky and the deafening sound could be heard of thunder.
Whooom* BAAAAM!*
The huge lightning struck the ship behind them, as Lizzard and Thunder looked in that direction in dismay, only stupefaction defining their faces.
The ship, tens of meters long, completely disappeared in an instant, a large vortex of water was created in the original place, and it would take at least a minute to return to normal.
Small traces of thunder kept spreading in the water, in a short time some fish were charred due to the high voltage, some objects on the ship, such as pieces of gold, were slightly floating in the whirlpool and it is estimated that soon this place will be filled with people looking to get rich overnight.
"Haha, as expected of Uncle Kasirc!"
Martin watched the scene behind with admiration and longing, one day he would be as strong as his uncle and inherit the position of guild leader. It's just that Kasirc didn't pay attention to him and said directly.
"It's the end of the month and the rookie test is coming up, do you think the boy wants to participate?"
"Ah, of course, with that spell book I should feel like participating, I wonder which floor it will be this time..."
'It's true that his level is above normal, but… it might be dangerous for him to meet this Steve.
'oh'
As they were leaving, Martin noticed a small square object and approached it curiously...
...
"Hey, why is he so angry? What happened out there?"
First floor, inside the small artificial forest of the Har underground base, the brothers had been freed with a heavy blow using the diamond sword, they looked at their younger brother who left suddenly and asked the woman on the side in confusion. .
Immediately the woman's face turned sad and she began to tell them everything Martin had said before.
It must be said that the appearance of the three has changed to their tower avatars.
Handalf wears shorts made of animal skins, his hair has turned red and he wears a necklace of large sharp teeth on his neck, he is not wearing a shirt showing his well-defined muscles, with this appearance he would definitely easily become a famous model if the tower had never appeared.
Handers...well, not bad either, he's dressed in smart but casual clothes, a long blue ponytail is combed behind his head, it seems he didn't put much effort into creating the character.
As for the woman...she has grown into a beautiful young girl in her 20s, the tower's hellish customization system never disappoints, it is estimated that even your cousin can look a little good here.
"Inhuman Bastards"
Har cursed as he descended a long corridor of the base, he carried with him a new ender chest keychain on a wagon, a new totem of immortality, the most striking thing is that he has two swords with him, one of diamonds and one of iron .
"A woman who was in mourning was forced to marry, mocked and even put into solitary confinement."
Har entered an obsidian room, jumped up and flew straight into the portal before entering the underworld.
It's not all yet, all this time Har has been tying things together, a crazy suspicion would always arise in his mind thinking about what that Martin guy said earlier.
"Some bastards suddenly cause trouble in our store, then come home and kidnap my father..."
Har spoke appearing in the underworld, he gripped his sword tightly and the anger on his face was so immense that he seemed about to go into a berserker state if he had that ability.
"...they murder him for no reason and without mercy and leave his corpse as if it were an insect, as soon as this happens my mother disappears and gets married suddenly..."
Isn't this too suspicious? It's like…someone killed his father on purpose.
Why would her mother agree to marry a stranger? Why would she walk away from them to start another family? Wasn't that the case in her past life? Why did she never tell them about this? Why not He never escaped from that damn place? Why didn't he ever investigate this in his previous life?
Why....did he abandon his mother in a place like that?
Why...
Why...
Why...
"...he had to go through this?!!"
Har yelled loudly as he shed a few tears, he held the swords and sped off without any direction or aim, he just waved his swords without any technique cutting off monsters' heads to soothe his feelings.
A pair of black wings opened on its back, its eyes turned into a crimson color that shone with intensity leaving for a moment a trail of light in its path, it launched fireballs to nowhere and the energy of evocation magic it spread up his arms, fierce mouths erupted from the ground every moment they reached out and surrounded him before slashing at them and moving on, the Vexes simply circled around him without any order from him and having no chance to attack.
Only one question echoed in his mind as he murdered non-stop and notifications from the tower came as an endless stream.
Why?
