To the Depth of Abyss
Chapter 32: Peace Plot

West Station / Downtown

Morning /

Elisa is waiting for the Party cart that will invite her to explore again that day.

They said they would only transport Drop Items from a party that had finished hunting that day.

Speak of the devil, the party showed up with the wagon they used yesterday.

All the party members looked very cheerful because they could be with Elisa again. Each of them shouted her name, "Elisa!", Without embarrassment.

Elisa didn't want to be provoked by their screams: looked away like she didn't know them.

They all immediately went to the location. But Elisa did not replace a cold man who still annoyed her.

"Are you looking for Ars?" asked Randi.

"Yes, he isn't coming with us?"

"He's waiting for us at the location."

"Alone?"

"Well, don't worry about him. He will be fine. "

The thought of being alone in the giant forest alone gave Elisa the chills. But they were talking about the cold man who could silence a Party of 5 men.

"Don't bother thinking about him. Instead, can you tell us a little more about the Sylvia Shield Family?"

Her party members wanted to know more about the Sylvia Shield Family. Elisa had no other choice but to tell her how great the Sylvia Shield Family was.

"And the household head of the Sylvia Shield Family is Sylvia Shield herself. She is a strong female knight. She used the [Blue Love Sword], a treasure from a dungeon as her main weapon."

Elisa shared everything she knew about the Sylvia Shield Family.

Four of Randi's men so satisfied with the stories. Because they can replace out the names of beautiful female Hunters who live on the 2nd Floor.

At that time, only Randi paid attention to the road. However, one pair of ordinary eyes is not enough to pay attention to the surroundings. As a result, they being attacked by several Bull Hornets, and got overwhelmed.

After covering the allotted distance, they finally made it to safety.

Elisa realized where they were. "Hey, this is, the Sites of Memorial!"

"Ur right."

Sites of Memorial. The historical place where the Legend Hunters fought with the Land Owners.

"Sister Maria told me about this place!"

"You are a student from the Saint Arcane Church?"

An old man came up to Elisa. The old man had long lines - scars on his face. Elisa recognized the old man very well.

"You are, Mr. Jeff!"

Elisa meets with the Sites of Memorial guard. On the other hand, the other party members came to Ars.

"Why are you taking so long?"

Ars was waiting for them with several cargo wooden boxes.

"Shut up!"

"Yes, shut up! We were just attacked because you provided an ineffective path! "

Ars immediately worked without paying attention to the babbling of Randi's men. "You protest because you are weak. And, that is a safe route that everyone uses."

While all the male members were working, Elisa chatted briefly with the Sites of Memorial guard.

"You've only been up here a few days and have gotten stuck with them?"

"Y-yes, that's not what I wanted tho!" Elisa grew arrogant. "All off them who asked me to come with!"

Jeff got it. He doesn't even bothered by Elisa's arrogant attitude. As if he was used to it.

"You decide where you will go. Most importantly, they can take care of you, and you can take care of them. But, if they try to touch you with their dirty hands, tell me and I will kill them right away."

"Kill them?! That sounds a little cruel."

"Whether or not it's cruel, you still have to be careful. You never know when you will encounter predators, especially those who have the power to take advantage of others."

Elisa understood who Jeff was referring to.

Elisa tries to trust that person, because that person doesn't seem to have any interest in her. At least for now.

Their party departed to return to West Station after loading up the load. Elisa waved her hand as they got far from Jeff.

Their return journey was peaceful when Ars get into the wagon, and they reached West Station with no problems.

"This is your pay for today, Elisa."

Elisa gets paid as much as [200 Cash] after this exploration. The pay was 2x less than yesterday, but Elisa felt the price was just right for her hard work that day.

"Thank you."

Elisa accepted the pay, then turned to leave. But before really leaving, she gave a message to Randi.

"I, will wait at South Hall when you need me again."

After that, she ran somewhere.

Randi approached Ars to help load goods.

"What did he say?" asked Ars about Elisa.

"She said she'd be waiting at South Hall when we needed her again."

Elisa had put her faith in them.

"It's faster than I thought."

"What?"

Ars planned to win Elisa's heart through Randi and his men. But he did not expect it to be that fast.

The payloads they were carrying were [700kg King Bear Meat] and [10kg Killer Bee Leather].

Lee Wai was once again surprised because the drop item Ars brought was the boss drop item area.

"After Queen Bull, now Killer Bee! I didn't expect your party to be that strong, Ars! "

"That how it is."

In front of Lee Wai, Ars is the leader of the party he has. Even though the real leader of the party was standing behind Ars, thinking, 'We haven't even see Killer Bee yet'.

"Looks like we're going to have a meat party tonight, Lin!"

Lee Wai is so happy to have a partner like Ars.

After selling all the drop items he could sell, Ars relaxed on one rooftop.

[Money in Pocket = 7,225 Cash]

"Tch!"

It upset ars.

[Unlimited Inventory Level 03: 0/10000 Cash]

The money is only that much because he has to pay Randi and his men.

He needed 3k more Cash to level up [Unlimited Inventory]. But he was lazy enough to hunt Bear Beasts or Bull Hornets again.

"Damn it."

"Why are you confusing insignificant things?"

Someone responds to Ars when he is talking to himself.

The voice came from below, where a merchant's tent was standing.

Ars went downstairs to see who was selling.

The only merchant's tent standing on a deserted block. There, lined up several kinds of fruit, all of them are: apples, oranges, mangoes, and coconuts. A man who seems blind is the seller.

"Why are you just standing there?" asked the blind merchant.

The blind merchant asked as if he already knew Ars.

Ars tried to test if the merchant was really blind, by waving his hand in front of the blind merchant's face.

"What are you doing? Keep your dirty hands off me. "

The blind merchant seemed to have an inner eye that could make him see.

"How can you do that, old man?" asked Ars curiously.

The blind merchant was a little shocked. "You ... ahh, sorry, I thought you were someone I knew because you gave off the same aura as him."

The blind merchant must be talking about Yin. Which meant the blind merchant was - "Legend Hunter?! Ha ha! I'm so lucky to replace another Hunter Legend by accident!"

Ars could not hide his joy. Hunter Legend is a valuable asset that can provide benefits to him, such as information or lessons.

"You won't get anything of value from a blind man like me, young man."

The blind merchant is really Hunter Legend for calling Ars a "young man".

Ars looks at the fruit for sale. The fruit looked old and not fresh anymore.

"Tell me, old man, how can you see with your eyes like that?" asked Ars as he wanted to take an apple.

"Don't take it!"

Ars stopped at once. Looks like the blind Legend Hunter wants to do something.

The blind merchant put his hand into a bag. Then sprinkle something like a luminous powder.

Ars startled at the phenomenon.

"Abyssal Art, young man."

'Did he just say -'. Before Ars could continue, the voices of the two other men caught his ears.

"How is it?!"

"How else? The boss told us to get that lumberjack out."

"But the problem is that lumberjack is very vigilant because he heard someone asking him about the Dungeon Token."

'Dungeon token?' Thought Ars.

"Without that token, we won't be able to open a family."

"But I'm still confused. Why is the boss so eager to dungeon tokens? If we want to rule this Floor 1, why don't we start slaughtering and claiming this Floor ours?"

"You stupid! Why do you think we need that token to form a family?"

"Why?"

"You! This is why I don't want to be paired with you. It was because there were strong individuals like Jeff, the ranger of the forest, and several other Legend Hunters hiding on this floor. That's why we can't start violence."

The clever man's colleague looked clueless.

But as for Ars, he understands the situation very well, and would like to hear them further.

"Then?"

"If we move as a family, the chances that we will be stopped by strong people like them will be small. Then, after we get a lot of followers, then we will start the war. That's how it is, you idiot!"

"Ooh, so we need those tokens so we can start a war."

All that guy's babbling seemed useless, but, that is the point.

"Hey, can you guys tell me what is that lumberjack name?"

Ars who was curious came to the two men. With intentions and tactics that no one could stop.
