Boot Camp Server is an open space training ground that aims to train the skills of students of Arcadia Academy. There was an incident that made the place a warm talk for the NPCs.
Some NPCs who talk about it sometimes attract the attention of the Player to check the Boot Camp Server region in hopes of finding a [Hidden Quest] triggered. However, they looked disappointed after seeing a division of royal warriors with average levels reaching level 80 guarding the place. The no-entry mark of the Boot Camp Server region is clearly visible which even triggers a special notification that signals the place is off-limits to the Player.
[Warning! You entered the special territory of the Nestrad Kingdom!]
Thanks to the ban notification, the online Isekai gaming forum opens up special discussion topics such as whether something has happened to the venue as several daily missions around the Boot Camp Servere region have been pulled by the Adventure Master Guild. Some plants and fruits for potion production needs that grow around Boot Camp Server should look for other sources.
The main crisis of this incident began to be felt by the Player. The economic turnaround of the Nestrad Kingdom Player was slightly disrupted due to the soaring potion prices.
Of course, there are some parties who benefit by taking advantage of this crisis. Not all Players had a potion backup, so they were quite restless with this unexpected occurrence.
Players and NPCs had different problems but the effects of their problems were interrelated.
On the other hand, some of the NPCs with higher castes that governed the Nestrad Kingdom were in a daze facing the ongoing crisis. They decided to set up an emergency meeting to discuss the matter.
The King and Queen of the Nestrad Kingdom along with the other noble members sat opposite each other. The meeting took place in secret with the topic of conversation that should not be leaked out.
The King of the Nestrad Kingdom sat speechless and thought to look for the right decision. His mind was filled with consideration as to what steps he would take to defend the fate of the Nestrad Kingdom.
“Yang majesty..” one of the nobles present opened his voice.
“Is it true that one of the royal nobles betrayed?” the remark made all the nobles who were in the room fall silent.
A small whisper began to sound, The silent King stood up from his seat and walked over to one of the nobles present. The King looks very young like a 20-year-old. Behind the cloak she was wearing was a small knife that reflected a bit of light. The small movement of the King who drew a knife to the neck of the nobleman in front of him made the other nobles freeze silently. A sense of shock and fear enveloped them, seeing their King who intervened killing one of them.
“I hope this answers your question” The king looks at the nobleman who gave him the question. The expression on the noble's face paled instantly. Fear took hold of his body after finding the answer to his stupid question.
“Viscount Barknelyn!” The king looked at the noble before him with a sharp gaze and a dark aura gushed out from his body.
“I gave you two choices! kill all of your family members to atone for the sins of a traitor like you or kill all of these shameless noble family members! Your greed for treasure leads this kingdom to destruction!” The king threw the noble's body which was still spitting fresh blood from his neck.
Looking at the corpse of the body that was still moving it made Viscount Barknelyn panic! His bloodline life is on the edge of extinction. His greatest mistake in breaking the oath of allegiance not to betray the King was known to the King of the Nestrad Kingdom. He couldn't possibly escape just by killing the bloodline of the nobleman who died before him. Sooner or later, his bloodline had ended then and there.
Today, two noble lineages had disappeared from the list of the Nestrad Royal family.
“Oh! by the way.please ask Saintess Vallie to purify your soul. That's if Saintess Vallie lets her children die because of your treachery that stole the crystal seal that locked the source of the disaster 500 years ago! Do you know what disaster I mean?” The king looked at Viscount Barknelyn with an aura of death that slowly devoured Viscount Barknelyn.
Viscount Barknelyn looked extremely frightened seeing the King before him looking at him filled with a negative aura that slowly sucked his consciousness towards the black space filled with a thick black fog that covered his vision.
The queen who saw the incident, now walked closer to the King. “Darling, calm down.You know killing them won't solve the problem but at least we can turn them into undead to work endlessly in the recently discovered gold mines. Anyway, we still need workers to dig that gold mine.”
“What they did was indeed a very foolish act, unleashing security magic and stealing seal crystals from the source of mankind's disaster 500 years ago. I don't know what to say after seeing this reality. But we must preserve their foolish actions on the history of our kingdom. At least it could be an important lesson passed down for the successor of this kingdom” The Queen looked at Viscount Barknelyn with a gaze full of disdain.
“Now.. how do we explain this to Saintess Vallie?” ask Queen.
“Just a matter of time before Saintess Vallie finds out what is going on. With his current state, the change in magic flow must have been very easy for him to feel. I also don't want Saintess Vallie to get involved with this complicated matter” replied the King.
Currently, the Nestrad Kingdom in a state of martial law plus the issue of treason of the royal nobility had already added a heavy burden for a King in making decisions moreover there was a source of human disaster moving freely out of control.
Broadly speaking, the Nestrad Kingdom was in a stage towards destruction. All decisions taken by the King will determine the fate of this kingdom.
The king returned to his seat.
A black shadow figure suddenly stood beside the Queen. The shadow whispered something in the Queen's ear and disappeared like it was swallowed by air. With a surprised expression, the Queen looked at the King. Without a voice and with just a glance, the two couples communicate. A small nod of the two couples was visible, they stood up from their seats and rushed away from the meeting room. Leaving behind the nobles who looked at each other in confusion saw the departure of the King and Queen then turned to glance at Viscount Barknelyn who was still frightened.
When the door of the room closed, a few seconds passed and a loud roar sounded from within the room. It seemed as if the remaining nobles were venting their frustration at the foolish behavior carried out by Viscount Barknelyn. He did deserve it, the money he got was not worth the damage caused by it.
The King and Queen of the Kingdom of Nestrad walked down the royal passageway. Their footsteps were so calm. There was almost no sound of footstep friction filling the passageway.
They have a safe distance and make sure no one is following them. The King looked at the Queen with a serious look.
“What information is correct, Victoria?” ask King.
“Of course, dear..why should I lie to you?” reply to the Queen.
“Isn't that too weird, even the royal investigator who got secret information about the creature had trouble analyzing the type of creature. But.. Saintess Vallie learned of the creature only from visiting the scene? The remaining source of magic from that place should have long since disappeared after three days had passed. Why can Saintess Vallie know that?” The king tried to think to find a possible answer accordingly.
“As one of the disciples of Saintess Vallie, she was indeed very sensitive to the changing flow of magic. Supposedly, feeling the flow of magic after three days passed was very difficult but since she was a Saintess it was not impossible right? Aren't you just as fond...: as a former hero who also felt a huge change in the flow of magic creatures that made you restless lately?”
“For those creatures, I can't feel the warmth of the bed. Too many things were done especially looking for a royal traitor who gave access to the royal treasury. If only the light treasures were stolen it was fine but the ones stolen were seal crystals! What kind of thief knows the location of the crystal if it doesn't get inside!” The king was a little emotional after knowing that one of the nobles who had earned his trust from him betrayed.
“At least it paid off right?”
“Oh! Speaking of the young man who accompanied Saintess Vallie to the scene. Who exactly is he?”
“I don't know who he is, do we need to investigate the young man?”
“I think it needs to be done, because now we have to turn our brains to face Saintess Vallie's rampage and explain what is going on. If only the young man had not interfered, we could have avoided Saintess Vallie and cleared up this matter.”
“Honey..want however without Saintess Vallie. We can't get married until now. Even getting the blessing of getting married from Saintess Vallie is very hard to get. Anyway, Saintess Vallie is your in-law.”
“Gah! Why are my in-laws like this anyway!”
The King and Queen of the Nestrad Kingdom walked towards the back door passageway of the palace. A horse carriage had been prepared and was waiting for their arrival. A line of horsemen on standby saluted the King and Queen. They formed a line to escort and protect the royal horse carriage to the Temple of Goddess Relena.
The trumpet signal rang and the back gate of the palace opened, the horse carriage drove away from the palace accompanied by a loud pounding of horse steps filling up along the way.
Long before the King and Queen of the Kingdom of Nestrad decided to meet Saintess Vallie a unique incident had just happened at Boot Camp Serre.
[120 minutes earlier.]
The main gate of the Temple of the Goddess Relena was wide open. A horse-drawn carriage walked out.
Inside the carriage was Saintess Vallie accompanied by two bodyguards and a young man who was busy reading the thin screen floating before him.
The young man is a Player with the nickname [Guest177013] whose every movement is currently supervised by two Saintess bodyguards namely Viona Nala and Viera Nala.
Unlike Viera who was looking at the young man with a smile, Viona looked at the young man with a sharp gaze. The young man tried to heed the sharp gaze by turning his attention to his list of weapon equipment.
This trip will probably feel long because he has absolutely no idea where Boot Camp Server is located. It could have been that the young man had opened the location map and searched for it manually but it would have been faster if he had been taken away to the place directly without having to look for it manually.
The trip was a little boring and made the young man open the menu of his main weapon and pay attention to every information listed in it to kill his boredom.

The young man finally understood how frightening an Exclusive item was. Not only was the item only 1, but the effects hidden within it were truly terrifying. Even for level 15, carrying equipment like this was already extremely feared if the item's effect information was spread out.
Exclusive Weapons that can be friends and opponents are indeed very troublesome.
The young man needs to be careful if he wants to perform actions that are able to provoke the attention of other Players to him. He had to move full of consideration while using his weapon.
“I think currently my best friend is just a baton and practicing melee attacks to trigger the takedown effect.”
The young man closed his inventory screen, his gaze now distracted at the outside scenery filled with lush trees. The horse carriage he was riding on had such great shocks but because he was too busy reading the additional effects on his equipment, he was a little unaware of the shocks.
The young man realized something, the reason why he spent time reading the additional effects on his Exclusive item. It was because Viona was still looking at him with such a cold and sharp gaze.
The young man simply could not bear to get such a look.
“Why are you still looking at me like that?” the young man asked Viona.
That hostile expression was replaced by a heavier expression than before. Viera who knew Viona was still holding a grudge against the young man only fell silent.
On the other hand, Saintess Vallie had only observed Viona not to go too far.
“It's enough Viona, how long will you be concerned about your sister's death? You understand for yourself, don't you know how your brother is?” Saintess Vallie opened her voice. He also could not bear the atmosphere brought about by the two of them.
“I know! but, I still can't take it!” viona.
“Even if your own brother wants himself dead?” the words of Saintess Vallie made Viona and Viera shocked.
“Ti-impossible!” viona's words were a little messy.
“Oh, so that's it. It's worth your brother's writing so hard to read” the young man spoke to add to the words of Saintess Vallie.
“If you still mind about that, do you want to feel what your brother is going through?” the young man looked at Viona with a serious look.
A tiny particle of light formed a weapon. The appearance of the long weapon was enough to make everything inside the horse carriage shocked.
The young man took out his folding baton which had been elongated.He then swung the baton and the sound of wind being hit was heard. It feels a little strange to lengthen the folding baton with an animation of light particles gathering.
“You know, this weapon is able to make you feel what your brother is going through. First I will crush both your hands and legs and then slowly destroy your internal organs. Take it easy, you're not going to die. I can guarantee that! At least you can feel the sleep lying down without being able to do anything” the young man smiled.
“!”
Viona was a little surprised to see the smile of the young man.
“Oh, about destroying your internal organs. I'll just dissect your internal organs and remove them. Hmm. You know there are at least some organs inside your body that even if it's gone you can still survive. For example, like a gallbladder that is not entirely needed to digest food, you can still live if your lymph is taken, Oh! Even living with one kidney and one lung is possible! Exactly what your sister went through!” the young man swung his folding baton and hit it on his palm.
“Link it's an honor for you and feel what you want to know. You want to live but suffer, right? Without being able to move your body, just waiting for death that does not come” the expression of the young man became very serious instantly. It is possible that in the personality of the young man is stored a sadistic soul that has long fallen asleep and then woke up because the ego of the girl who knows nothing about the pain of waiting for death that does not come.
“Hey! Enough!” Saintess Vallie stopped the young man's speech.
The young man was silent at the same time as the stop of the horse carriage they were riding.
The door of the horse carriage opened and featured a man wearing armor on his entire body.
“Sa-Saintess Vallie?” the man seemed to be surprised to see the presence of Saintess Vallie.
“Have long time not met, what are you doing here?” Reply Saintess Vallie.
They got off the horse-drawn carriage.
Their expressions were shocked at the sight before them.
“A-what happened here!” saintess Vallie.
