Han-bit turning on the broadcast headed to the Adventurer Guild of Ifrit together with the two people.

At the entrance there Jinuk was pacing around.

“Ah, you’re here now.”

Discovering Han-bit, he moved his steps and approached.

“Is something going on?”

“I have something to give you, and a request came in for you.”

“A request?”

“First take this.”

Jinuk handed over a single blue crystal the size of a fist.

[You have received the Intermediate Warp Crystal (Rank 5 – Heroic).]

– Uh?

– Warp?

– To think he gives this here;

– Mobility item GOAT

– Isn’t it super expensive?

– Listings are f*cking non-existent.

The viewers also showed hot reactions, seemingly items they knew well.

Han-bit examined the item’s contents.

[Intermediate Warp Crystal]

Rank: 5

Grade: Heroic

Usage Restriction: Bound to Owner, Party 7 members or less

Description: A magic tool capable of moving to one of the designated locations. Usable up to 3 times, warping to a point exceeding the limited distance is restricted.

Let alone the crafting technique, a Warp Crystal where even the materials going into it are too hard to obtain.

Furthermore it’s a consumable so it can’t even be reused.

If trading is possible it’s an object treated up to the hundreds of millions unit.

“Didn’t you give me something too expensive?”

“How many lives in Ifrit depended on you? Besides this is something Noona… Former Mayor Firnen procured using her private funds so it’s fine.”

“Then I guess it’s fine. I will use it well.”

He nodded his head at the source of funds he already knew of.

Han-bit turned his gaze to the parchment held in Jinuk’s hand.

“What is the story about the request?”

“Ah, if you go straight north from Ifrit an alpine region appears. There’s a city named Temosha at the top of there, and a contact came from the Guild Master there saying he definitely wants to entrust a request to you.”

“How does he know me?”

“Perhaps he heard through the mouth of the adventurers who came to assist us.”

He explained while handing over the parchment.

Han-bit who received it examined the contents inside.

[Request Form]

Grade: A-Rank

Issuer: Asid Cardif

Content: Tracking an escaped criminal

Reward: To be discussed later

– It’s here.

– Epi 3 let’s gooo~

– But criminals are f*cking numerous;

– The story here is f*cking intense too. LOL

– Freaking annoying.

– For starters Temosha is f*cking hard to go to.

The viewers looking at the request formulate contents realized it was a precursor to Episode 3.

Even though it’s true nobody would expect a plan to ruin the episode though.

‘To be exact it’s not ruining.’

The problem grown by neglecting this episode becomes a starting point that turns enemies into a single mass.

In other words, episodes 3 through 5 disappear and a single separate episode appears.

If the game system specifies the third episode as Temosha, the appearance of a new episode should also rightfully be implemented.

Because the Goddess and Record Project’s development team would definitely firmly perceive this possibility.

If not they wouldn’t have used expressions like ‘The player who first reached the truth of the episode’ from Edlen.

“For now I’ve registered the locations of Ifrit, Temosha, and the Royal Capital Radianor. If you use it you will arrive right near the city gates. If you want to refuse the request you can register another place and use it.”

Jinuk added an explanation saying there’s no need to necessarily accept it.

However Han-bit shook his head.

“No, I was thinking of perhaps going to Temosha as well.”

“Is that so? Then for starters I’ll casually put in contact to the guild.”

Han-bit who finished the conversation immediately used the crystal.

Then the system window floated up before his eyes.

[There are 3 locations saved in the Warp Crystal.]

1. Raven Kingdom Ifrit

2. Raven Kingdom Temosha

3. Raven Kingdom Radianor

There are only 3 chances, but the distance to Temosha is considerable.

Right now using it for quick progression would be good.

“We will move to Temosha.”

Han-bit conveying words to Kim Jae-ha and Avant-garde touched number 2.

Simultaneously with that an unusual sensation of transfer wrapped his body.

Woooong-

A steep cliff where sharply standing wind blows.

The three people arriving via the warp were looking at the city wall spread out in front.

“It’s built well here indeed. So high.”

“This side belongs to a milder scale. I heard there’s a place where just climbing up takes 7 hours in the North and East of the continent.”

Just like Avant-garde’s words this place is on the better side at least.

Because it’s a world where places existing where you genuinely have to climb rock walls with bare hands.

– The scenery here is dope for real too.

– But how did they actually make this city?

– Actually if there’s people anything works.

– The developer is smiling.

– Smile (Cannot get off work)

‘This side is exactly the same as well.’

The scenery of the city Temosha spread straight out above the slopes.

Thanks to the city wall itself not even being that high and the incline being steep, the inside entered their view at a glance.

Thump-

Han-bit directed himself to the city gate together with the two people.

At that place opened wide a certain soldier was yawning.

“Hello. I’m adventurer Black Dragon.”

“Ah, yes. Hello.”

Greetings lightly exchanged.

Han-bit pulled out his adventurer card and handed it to him.

“A-Rank adventurer Black Dragon. Confirmed. Please enter.”

The soldier roughly finishing confirmation backed away.

It was an overly formal procedure with no interest in security.

“Let’s go.”

Han-bit’s group passed through the wide-open city gate and entered inside the city.

Simultaneously with that a message floated up.

Ding-

[Episode 3: Crime City Temosha]

[Main Quest #1: Request]

You have arrived in the city accepting the request of the Temosha Guild Master.

First you must confirm the detailed request contents.

Objective: Move to the Adventurer Guild and hear the specific story.

Reward: 20,000 Gold, Experience Points 5,000

Current Progress: 0 Percent

The quest window announcing the start of the episode is now familiar.

“The atmosphere is somewhat heavy.”

“It’s a place famous for such evaluations as well.”

Kim Jae-ha and Avant-garde examined inside the city and shared conversations.

A dull city even at a glance.

Because there are few footsteps of outsiders and many people with bad character.

“Wanna die? Spit out the money and get lost!”

“Alcohol! Bring me alcohol!”

“You bastard, did you just hit me?”

From taverns here and there different chaotic messes were occurring respectively.

Han-bit who ignored that spectacle moved his steps inward together with the two people.

“It’s over there.”

In front of stairs where the slope changed one level steeper.

There stood an Adventurer Guild building the size of a private house.

Creak-

As they opened the half-broken door and entered the inside was revealed.

A shabby wooden table placed in the corner and a request board with its corner knocked off.

The adventurers sharing stories inside identically cast shadows under their eyes.

Han-bit approaching the reception counter presented his adventurer card and the request form to the employee and spoke.

“I came to meet the Guild Master.”

“Huh?”

The man with a long scar on his cheek raised his eyebrows and turned his head.

He who glared at Han-bit once snatched the card and request form.

“Ah, you’re Black Dragon?”

The employee checking the contents and nodding his head.

He returning the items pointed at the corner table with his finger.

“There’s a human over there sleeping with his head buried right? Go wake him up.”

Turning his head, a male wearing simple equipment was seen.

He is genuinely burying his head on the table.

[Temosha Guild Master Asid Cardif]

– LOL

– Asid Hi

– Negligence of duty GOAT

– But even I wouldn’t work hard here. LOL

– I acknowledge

The viewers’ evaluations pouring down along with the floating name were natural.

Because Asid Cardif whom players experienced was a human who tossed away duties of a Guild Master anyway.

“Asid.”

Han-bit approaching closely lightly shook Asid’s shoulder.

“Ugh…….”

The scent of alcohol wafting while wriggling along with groans.

No signs of waking up were seen.

Srrk-

Han-bit looking down at him for a moment raised his hand.

And without hesitation he powerfully slapped Asid’s cheek.

Smack-!

“Huk!”

The gray-haired man shooting up his upper body at that shock.

He’s a young impression around his early 30s.

“What! Is it a raid!”

– LOL

– Straight up smacking a slap. LOL

– Black Dragon doesn’t hold back as I said.

– It is a raid indeed. LOL

– Wake-up alarm (Physical strike)

Asid unable to come to his senses turned his head swoosh swoosh and wandered.

Sitting on the opposite seat Han-bit tapped the table and drew attention.

“Over here, over here. Didn’t you call me?”

“…Huh?”

At the voice heard Asid dropped his gaze and met eyes.

And then letting out a sigh he sat on the seat.

“An adventurer? Thought my liver was gonna drop.”

He sweeping down his surprised chest ruffled his hair and came to his senses.

“So, that I called you?”

“Look.”

Han-bit pulled out his adventurer card and showed him.

Asid moving his head close finally nodded his head and spoke.

“Ahh, so you’re Black Dragon? You really came?”

“You even sent the request form didn’t you. Or do you not need me?”

“I definitely do need you. As you can see I am disastrously lacking proper hands.”

He looked at the surrounding adventurers and shrugged his shoulders.

As expected a person to properly resolve the request was completely unseen.

“So, what’s the request contents? It only said tracking an escaped criminal.”

“It’s exactly as written. Catching that guy named Labok who committed murder and ran away.”

In contrast to the slow explanation the content of the crime was heavy.

“Where did he run away to?”

“I don’t know. That’s why I was trying to request investigation for only about 1 week, but the situation…….”

“Bla, Black Dragon!”

At that time, someone’s voice rang out urgently.

Turning his head, the employee at the reception counter was holding something with wide open eyes.

“Why?”

“Not why! Hurry and check! Contact came from the Royal Guard Knights!”

– ?

– Royal Guard Knights?

– Is it Leon noona?

– What new pattern is this?

– Upvote if an accustomed viewer.

– Upvote

At the sudden contact the employee turned pale.

As that man is also secretly committing petty crimes, he must’ve gotten scared point blank.

“Royal Guard Knights?”

For a moment, the drunkenness completely disappeared from Asid’s expression.

That face soon returned to normal.

“Hurry up and verify it. Seems like many places call you probably because you’re a famous adventurer.”

Leaving him waving his hands behind Han-bit headed toward the reception counter.

The employee handed over a golden letter with shuddering hands.

It was a special letter only usable by royalty or those who received permission from royalty.

Hello, Black Dragon.

I contact you like this through the Adventurer Guild as I have a story to urgently convey.

His Majesty the King wishes to see you.

He relayed words saying ‘It’s an unofficial gathering and by no means a compulsory royal command, but I wish you would spare time right now if possible.’

I too am sorry for giving a sudden request, but it is my heart wishing you surely drop by.

If you come to the Royal Capital Radianor, you can just show this letter to the owner of a tavern named Sunset Wind.

– Uh?

– Yes?

– King?

– A sudden audience?

– Furthermore unofficial shudder

– A direct route to the Royal Capital is novel;

The chat window scrolling up en masse at the unexpected news.

And the message followed.

Ding-

[A sub-quest opens.]

[Sub-quest #1]

Unexpected news arrived from Leon.

To think the King of Raven expresses an intent to meet directly.

You must immediately head to the Royal Capital.

Objective: Move to the tavern Sunset Wind in the Royal Capital Radianor.

Reward: Sub-quest #2 Unlocked

* This quest disappears after 1 hour.

– Ah.

– This is a bit;

– Like this are you telling him to abandon the Main Quest?

– Can’t he use the warp item to go and come back again?

– No no the story tempo here is f*cking fast.

– For real if delayed even a bit it becomes a mess.

– Then RIP

– Let’s let go of the Royal Capital.

As the sub-quest floated up, the viewers’ opinions gathered into abandoning the sub-quest.

It was similar to the worry Kim Jae-ha showed as well.

However this too was according to Han-bit’s plan.

‘As expected it came out.’

The King wishing to meet him at this timing was a scheduled event.

Even if it’s genuinely an affair ending with just conversing, this short meeting is too important.

The final story of the Raven Kingdom.

Because Han-bit’s role will completely properly change there.

He who made his decision early on looked at the camera and spoke.

“I will go to the Royal Capital.”
