Chapter 7: The Cursed

Chapter 7: The Cursed

Meanwhile, in the dark forest, Warren and Noir are searching for the Prince.

Of course, as Noir cannot see Warren, they searched separately.

While Noir searches normally around the said area where the Prince's carriage was attacked, Warren travels freely in the [Monochrome World] where he can walk anywhere as he pleases.

Though it is night time hence, there's no sun light, Warren still chose to search in that world because in there, he can even fly unlike in the real world where he is bound to the earth like normal.

Also, materializing in the real world costs mana as well and it also tires him out somewhat.

In any case, there has been no success in finding the Prince for a while now.

["...Looks like we'll have to give up soon. The Prince is most likely dead already..."]

Sighing as he floats in the skies of the [Monochrome World], he decided to survey the surroundings one more time.

When Noir asked around earlier to gather information, they found out that only the ring of royalty was found on the scene along with the dead bodies of the escorts and a broken carriage so they were a bit optimistic since the body of the Prince was never found.

But after hours of searching, they can't help but think of the worse.

It might be possible that the Prince was reduced to ashes or was buried for some reason.

["I wonder how's Lucas and Freya doing?...Hm?"]

Just when Warren was about to relax, he found a source of light below aside from Noir's.

["T-this is-!?"]

Surprised by what he saw, he decided to call Noir however...he cannot see nor hear him.

["Hmmm...now, as for how to tell Noir. Ah...I just have to direct him there."]

"Ughh...this has been going for hours already...why am I searching for a dead person anyway?"

Noir sat on a rock in a small clearing in the forest while muttering.

A few hours ago, while the auction has been going on, he kept hearing things like how the White Haired Adventurer is in town or that he became a criminal.

Whatever the case, because of that, the credibility that his auction items are the real deal went up.

He even heard that some mistook [Noir] as the White Haired Adventurer's name. Which Noir can't help but be embarrassed.

After the auction ended, Lucas called him and he asked some questions.

He was surprised to hear that he didn't receive any quests that made him help the slave. After all, if there isn't a quest, then there's no reward.

That's the basics in games.

When you receive a quest, that's the only time you help.

But he didn't.

Right now, he's helping the slave out of his own free will.

Noir admired that and decided that he'll help out if needed.

Just when he was about to ask if there's anything he can help with, Lucas asked him a favor.
