"This is an Assassin's quest item. You won't be able to use it. I can pay for it. Name your price."
The Lone Wanderer hesitated for a moment before speaking to Wang Yu.
The Lone Wanderer didn't know that Wang Yu had received a quest. Seeing that Wang Yu wasn't willing to hand over the Heart of Darkness, he thought that Wang Yu felt that the quest was too risky and the reward was too low … The Lone Wanderer didn't lack money, so he wasn't afraid of Wang Yu asking for an exorbitant price. He directly asked Wang Yu to name his price.
Wang Yu displayed the quest item with a pained expression and said gloomily, "Do you think I want this thing?"
Wang Yu not only felt pained that he had been scammed by the system, but also that he had lost a chance to earn money.
"F * ck!!" When the Lone Wanderer saw Wang Yu's quest introduction, his scalp went numb. Losing the quest item was considered a quest failure. Failure penalty was -5 levels and -1000 Honor Points. How was this a f * cking quest? It was simply a huge scam.
Even if the Lone Wanderer dared to do this quest, Wang Yu probably wouldn't be willing to sell it. Not to mention how hard it was to level up by 5 levels, 1000 Honor Points wasn't something money could buy. Moreover, no matter how rich the Lone Wanderer was, he wouldn't spend it on a quest with unknown rewards.
"Niu Ge, my condolences …" The Lone Wanderer patted Wang Yu's shoulder as he consoled him.
The first round of the quest was already this scam. Who knew what the later quests would be like. The Lone Wanderer was more glad that he didn't go for the Heart of Darkness first.
Wang Yu sighed and said, "You've got the dagger. You don't need me to follow you to turn in the quest, right?"
"That won't be necessary." The Lone Wanderer said.
The Thief was a profession that could go into stealth. In this era where there were no anti-stealth skills, the Thief profession wasn't afraid of being chased.
"Alright, then you go. I'll go turn in the Heart of Darkness first." Wang Yu said helplessly.
"You really plan on doing this mission?" The lone wanderer was shocked.
The Heart of Darkness quest was not something that could be accepted at this stage of the game. The quest also did not have a time limit. According to the loner's train of thought, he should at least wait until his level was higher before considering it. Who knew that Wang Yu would want to do it now?
"But I can't bring this with me every day …" Wang Yu was helpless.
There were dangers everywhere in the game, and no one could guarantee immortality. Wang Yu didn't have that confidence either. If he died one day, wouldn't it be a huge loss?
"You can store it in the warehouse, right?" The lone traveler suggested.
"I can't …" Wang Yu wanted to cry. If he could just throw it into the warehouse, he wouldn't be so depressed.
When the lone traveler heard this, he said gloatingly, "Tsk tsk, then I can't help you."
Wang Yu really didn't want to pay attention to this guy who was watching him make a fool of himself. He minded his own business and walked towards the alley where Hermit was.
The lone traveler followed closely behind Wang Yu without saying a word.
When they reached the alley, Wang Yu suddenly turned around and asked the lone traveler, "Why haven't you turned in the quest yet?"
"There's no rush to turn in the quest. I'm very curious about what your next quest will be," the lone traveler said with a smile.
Wang Yu said, "You can't help." The first round of the quest was already this difficult. Even Wang Yu felt that it was a little tricky. What could a level 25 Thief like the lone traveler do?
"You're thinking too much. I just want to see how unlucky you are," the lone traveler said with a smile.
Other than running around the map, the lone traveler's biggest hobby was to watch the fun.
Wang Yu was furious, "Damn you!"
After walking into the alley, Wang Yu woke up Hermit and handed him the Heart of Darkness. He then asked respectfully, "Teacher, I accidentally obtained this item. May I ask what it is?"
After seeing the Heart of Darkness, old man Hermit's usually sleepy face suddenly became serious.
"Where, where did you get this from?" Old man Hermit asked in surprise.
"On Sunset Peak …" Wang Yu said truthfully.
"Who would've thought that this Heart of Darkness would see the light of day again."
The Hermit sighed and said, "This is the heart of the sixth apostle. Back then, I sealed it and gave it to the Thieves' Guild. In the end, an expert from the Thieves' Guild coveted the power of darkness and stole it. Since then, this heart of darkness has disappeared without a trace. I didn't expect it to be in Sunset City.
"Then what should I do with this Heart of Darkness now?"
"The Heart of Darkness has an immeasurable power of darkness. This power can demonize monsters outside the city, making them violent and powerful. If it is placed inside the city, it will also demonize the citizens. The best way is to seal it again."
"How can I seal it?" Wang Yu continued to ask.
"The Setting Sun Roulette that sealed this Heart of Darkness has also been stolen. If I want to seal this Heart of Darkness, I'll need to find the assassin who stole this Heart of Darkness back then, Leon."
System Notification: Quest changed to the second part of the altar at the top of the mountain, "Wanted Assassin". Quest rank: S. Find the assassin who stole the Heart of Darkness, Leon, and find the whereabouts of the Sunset Roulette.
"Assassin Leon?" After receiving the quest, Wang Yu's heart trembled. At the same time, he thought of his own contract quest. So the person who sent the Solitary Traveler to retrieve the dagger was the person who stole the Heart of Darkness.
The Solitary Traveler wasn't surprised when he heard Hermit's words. After all, Leon was the target of the first part of the Thief Guild's "Heart of Darkness" quest. However, he didn't expect the assassin, Leon, to be someone who coveted the power of darkness.
After walking out of the alley, the Solitary Traveler asked Wang Yu, "Our quest NPC is the same person. We won't have the same quest, right?"
After walking out of the alley, the Solitary Traveler asked Wang Yu, "We probably won't have the same quest, but you will have a part in it."
Although the Heart of Darkness was in Wang Yu's hands, the dagger that sealed the Heart of Darkness was pulled out by the Solitary Traveler. At the very least, he was an accomplice …
When the Solitary Traveler heard this, he was shocked, "Don't mess around. I'm not doing the same quest as you."
In "Rebirth", the quest rank and reward were directly linked. Although the S-rank quest was quite tempting, the Solitary Traveler wasn't interested in this quest at all.
"Hehe." Wang Yu laughed and didn't explain.
It seemed that the Solitary Traveler was used to paying people to do quests. He didn't know much about the deceptive tricks of the game's NPCs.
The Sunset Wilderness was a level 30 monster area in the west of Yu Huicheng's city. There were many beast-type monsters like the Sunset Cheetah and the Sunset Tiger. These monsters were very fast and had very low HP. They were the favorite of Warriors. Wang Yu hadn't been here many times before.
The wilderness was filled with Warrior players who were around Level 25 in groups of twos and threes. The lone wanderer led Wang Yu through many twists and turns before they arrived at a very remote corner in the depths of the wilderness.
