The Newbie Is Too Strong's
150. Something That Has Likeness
I saw Kak Krimson talking to Professor Bruntall for a while and then took Chika into a room.
When I asked if it was okay to take a look with them, Kak Krimson intercepted me on the grounds that the room might not fit any other class besides the alchemist.
I stayed in the room with the professor.
I saw the professor looking at me curiously. Looking at her behavior, I just smiled awkwardly at her.
In the middle of the silent silence that there was only a face-to-face activity, the professor also seemed a little uncomfortable to start a chat.
“You're his friend, son Krimson?”
“Iya Kek, we had a mission together three times.”
“Oho.”
The professor seemed to cleared his throat and once again observed me curiously. Curious as to why the professor was acting this way, I asked.
“Is there something wrong with me, Cake?”
“Oho, forgive the irreverence of this old man, son of Luca. Grandpa is just a little curious, you are quite similar to Grandpa's role model orangutan as a child.”
“Who's Cake?”
“Mr Lacoza.”
“I mean Grandfather of Sultan Lacoza, first emperor of the Lalania Empire?”
“Oho, even though you live in a free area, apparently you know the figure of legend from the country in the north well.”
“Hehehehehehehe.” I only laughed wryly because I could not say that maybe he felt familiarity with me and Sultan Lacoza is because of a rare artifact inherited by Sultan Lacoza who while residing in my chest.
A moment later, Brother Krimson and Chika who returned with increasingly red faces arrived in the room.
Krimson's sister kissed me for a moment and then she went back to talking to Professor Bruntall.
After that, Kak Krimson also told me that the goods are soon ready to be packed and we will leave soon.
After asking Professor Bruntall for permission, the three of us decided to head to the packing area.
@@@
One thing Luca did not know is that why Professor Bruntall felt the familiar figure of him towards the figure of Sultan Lacoza was not because of artifacts in his chest.
@@@
The three of us walked. I see Chika's face still looks like a ripe tomato. Not that I suspected Sister Krimson of being a good person, but to calm my heart from thinking nothing of her, I asked her my curiosity.
I took a crack as Kak Krimson stepped a little further forward than Chika.
“Pack Krimson.” Whisper me to her while covering my mouth with my hand so that the movement of my mouth is completely unreadable by the person who sees it behind, she said, typical of the Indonesian drama-drama movement that I often watch every morning on the holiday.
“Yes, Luca. What's up?”
“Can Brother Krimson do something to Chika before I came earlier?”
“Nothing. I just requested friendship with him and accepted. Then he asked me if I was Krimsonalc who is famous on TV as an ace of the championship team last year vrmmorpg e-sport competition, then I said yes. After that, you came. That's all.”
“Hmm. Yes, yes too. Kak Krimson means just having a normal conversation with Chika and doing nothing to her. So what's Chika's weird behavior because she's sick?”
“Eh? Is Chika sick? I didn't realize it at all.”
However, when I asked her if she needed a break because I saw her cheeks were so red, Chika flatly refused and said that she was fine.
Frankly, I like his spirit. Even though the child was sick, he was still eager to carry out his quest.
Having thought through it because this was her avatar body, it didn't seem to matter just letting it go for now. After all if the pain is severe enough to be assessed by the system, Chika will automatically be forced to log out by the system itself.
We walked until we finally reached the stairs where we used to go up. Frankly it is tiring to go up to the eighth floor, but it is different from going down. We're not going against gravity this time.
But suddenly something seemed to distract me. I stared at the strange air as well. It came from a separate building far to the west there, a jet-black hut that only looked a patch and only had one floor, but it is able to be seen clearly because of its unusual color from the top floor of this building.
Suddenly, I felt a strange thing in my head. I suddenly got dizzy. Instantly even my connection with Aura felt cut off.
The weirdness did not get there, other than Kak Krimson and Chika, everyone in the building suddenly turned into a creepy monster.
I can't even control my panic anymore. It was clear that my own voice was screaming in fear to the point that I stepped on the wrong stairs and almost jumped rolling on the stairs.
Thank goodness I could feel a hand reaching me until I didn't fall. It was Kak Krimson's hand. Brother Krimson and Chika also seemed to try their hardest to calm me down.
After Chika seemed to flow her mana to me which was water element, I began to feel calm. I look back around me. The monsters that had scared me to death had disappeared, being replaced with non-player official magic tower officers.
It was not a monster like an orc or undead, a common monster I had been used to seeing in Gardenia, but even more sinister. Perhaps if in the real world, rather than being termed as a monster, this creature might be closer to what people refer to as a ghost or demon.
“Luca, you why?”
“Hahahaha. It's okay, Brother Krimson. Maybe just a little tired.”
“Then this is the case, it's not Chika who should log out, but you, Luca.”
“Hehehehehe. Sorry, Brother.”
How could I possibly tell the two of them that I had just seen a demon.
I, too, was curious, asking about the strange jet-black building right before I experienced the strange reaction.
“Ck.” But for some reason, Brother Krimson clicked his tongue.
“Well, you should never get close to them, Luca. Whether this is just a rumor or fact, but there are many rumors circulating that the dark mages are in contact with demons from other worlds.”
“Not a single dark mage player either in the game or even in the real world looks like a normal person. They all look scary.”
At least, I can catch the answer to my question from Kak Krimson's warning. The jet-black building belonged to the dark mages.
I had indeed heard rumors from players, even at the beginning of their appearance in Gardenia when I was an NPC that it was very rare for players to want to play dark mage classes.
Of course at that time I could not understand the strange terms they said. Only after I became a player and looked back into their words did I understand.
And if there are, they are strange people so that their existence is excluded and even hmpir does not look at all good at it in the mage guild itself.
I heard that most of them have indeed fled to this Nostalgic Country. I never thought when I was here, I could see their own nest.
Ignoring the unimportant thing, we also arrived at the packing place. Unfortunately, the goods have been packed neatly in a sturdy wooden box, some are packed in a thermos box, so I can not see the contents in it.
I'm actually very curious about what kind of herb can grow feathers, kill fleas, or treat scabies skin. It's nothing at all. I'm just very curious.
I hope that at the handover of the goods in the Doremi Kingdom later, at least once I can peek at myself what the form of the potion contents will look like.
Then the horse carriage set off escorted by high-level adventurers and qualified NPCs. I was alone with Kak Krimson and Chika, in the middle of the horse carriage, the fifth horse carriage, the only horse carriage that carried not a wooden box, but the thermos box that looks right keeps the temperature of the ingredients in it, keeping the ingredients.
Back then, we had never expected that great danger awaited us ahead.
