Schmidt!
Kieran saw the chief officer of the West Coast with a single glance. The chief officer was wearing a thick cotton coat as he walked down the bridge from a ship and onto the dock of the island.
"Why is Schmidt here?"
Could it be … "
"That bastard Boller!"
A thought popped up in Kieran's mind. Instantly, his good mood turned into a terrible one.
Kieran was eighty percent sure that Boller had something to do with Schmidt's appearance.
After all, the trial-taker's name scroll was in Boller's hand.
Without Boller, Schmidt wouldn't have been able to reach the island.
Since Schmidt was here, he must be in grave danger.
Maybe the trials on the ship weren't that dangerous.
But once he stepped onto Final Island, his life would be in danger.
Even though Azinder didn't tell Kieran anything directly, the meaning behind his words was clear. The adventure on Final Island wasn't just a vacation.
Not to mention, Final Island wasn't the end of the trial.
Schmidt's strength wasn't much stronger than a common man, coming to Final Island was suicidal.
More importantly, based on their relationship, if Schmidt was in grave danger, Azinder couldn't just sit back and watch him die.
Boller should know that very well, yet he still did it.
Then …
"What the hell is he doing?"
Kieran furrowed his brows.
Although they hadn't known each other for long, Kieran understood that Boller wasn't a person who would speak without reason. Boller must have his reasons for doing what he did.
Maybe it was out of kindness.
Or malicious intent.
While Kieran was deep in thought, Azinder walked over.
"This is as far as I can send you.
You will have to complete the rest of the journey on your own. There is a wooden house in the center of the island and that will be the place where your trial will begin.
Remember, get there before dark! Otherwise, you will lose the right to participate in the trial!
Hope we will meet again! "
The examiner didn't have the intention to step onto Final Island. He waved goodbye to Kieran beside the bridge and returned to the ship.
The ship did not stop and immediately returned.
It wasn't just the ship Kieran was on. The ship that sent him to Final Island was the same as well.
He approached the bridge, put Schmidt down, and left in a hurry.
There seemed to be some special rules.
Or perhaps it was because of something else.
Kieran couldn't think about it for now.
Because a side mission had appeared.
[Search: Finding Schmidt in the shortest time possible is the most important thing you need to do now!]
(Note: Evaluation will change based on time taken)
…
There was the existence of side missions.
Not to mention his relationship with Schmidt.
As soon as Kieran stepped onto the bridge, he rushed forward.
Even without Musou Level [Tracking], Kieran was able to catch up to Schmidt by following the clear footprints in the snow.
However, the footprints stopped abruptly after leaving the dock.
Kieran, who was chasing after the footprints, stopped and looked down at the footprints in the snow.
The previous footprint was about ten centimeters deep in the snow.
The next footprint was a shallow layer, and he didn't step in at all.
Then, it vanished.
All that was left was the footprints of the way he came.
But there were no further footprints.
Kieran frowned and sized up his surroundings.
There were no more footprints on the thick snow.
"Schmidt must have gotten the same information as me and he must have been moving at full speed. He came out of the dock quickly and didn't stop to get here. Then, he vanished without a struggle … No, no, not just no struggle, he didn't even change his posture when he moved forward. He vanished into thin air!"
The scene appeared in Kieran's mind.
The large footprints on the snowy ground and the large splashes of snow were enough to prove that Schmidt was moving at full speed.
Only when a person was moving forward in a hurry would such a trail be left behind.
However, there wasn't a single trace on the snow around him.
Even if the kidnapper could fly, it wouldn't be possible for him to do such a thing.
Because even if Schmidt lost the power to resist, the footprints he left behind would not be natural. Due to the power exerted on Schmidt's body, or due to the changes in Schmidt's core, the footprints would be uneven, slanted, and so on.
It wouldn't be like the current situation, where the footprints stopped after one point.
"Vanished into thin air?"
Kieran scanned his surroundings one more time before he went back the way he came. He checked the dock and the bridge.
There was nothing noteworthy.
However, Kieran knew there must be something that he had overlooked.
However, Kieran didn't have the time to search for the things he had missed.
The afterglow of the setting sun was fading away.
Night was coming.
If he didn't reach the wooden house in the center of the island before night fell, he would lose the right to enter the dungeon.
A long-lost frustration rose in Kieran's heart.
On one side was a native.
On the other side was the Main Mission that would affect his dungeon world rewards and even punish him.
With such a comparison …
From Kieran's point of view, it was a good choice.
However, after what happened, Kieran realized it wasn't that easy to make a choice.
If it was just a stranger, Kieran wouldn't have hesitated.
Schmidt wasn't a stranger though.
Both of them had worked together more than once and even fought side by side.
The familiarity made it hard for Kieran, who wasn't really a cold person, to make a choice.
After all, everything before his eyes was so real. It was hard for Kieran to treat Schmidt as an NPC that didn't exist.
Maybe when the players mentioned the term "native", they had tacitly acknowledged Schmidt's identity.
However, most of the players didn't realize it.
Or rather, they realized it but didn't want to admit it.
Huu!
"Do I have to give up on the Main Mission to find Schmidt?
Can't I have the best of both worlds … "
"Wait!
Maybe … "
Kieran squinted his eyes as he suddenly thought of something.
He thought about it for a few seconds before he dashed towards the center of the island.
...
Inside the crystal ball, Kieran's every move was displayed.
The man in the wooden hut at the center of the island sighed when he saw Kieran make his choice.
He had high hopes for Kieran at first.
After all, Kieran was the one who had made the prophecy.
Kieran should have something extraordinary about him.
However, Kieran's performance disappointed him.
"Even if it's Nikorei, there are times when you make mistakes!"
Even though you are known as the God of Earth, you are not an omniscient and omnipotent God … "
Bang!
Before the sigh subsided, the wooden hut's door was kicked open.
The cold wind came along with the wooden house, blowing the bonfire in the wooden house to the left and right.
But what was even more chilling was a dark red two-handed greatsword.
The sword was pointed at the man who sighed.
"Speak! Where is Schmidt?"
