“Where should we go today?”

In response to Kite’s question, Ruela looked at the quest window and spoke.

“We pretty much finished everything yesterday afternoon. I think I need to level up to unlock new quests.”

Except for a few quests that couldn’t be done right away, they completed everything yesterday. They quickly finished quests in their 20s while being in their 80s, which made the process quite swift.

“Should we hunt monsters to level up then?”

“That’s what I’m suggesting.”

Ruela looked at everyone with a tense expression.

“How about going after Vincent? Of course, it’s a hiding period now. The guards protecting the agate are numerous, and it might be a bit troublesome and time-consuming, but it’s said to be easier to catch someone inside than outside, considering the number of guards.”

Unlike the initial shock upon its appearance, the bulletin board was now filled with user experiences of capturing ‘Vincent.’ Posts were sharing strategies along with stories of users who had already captured him. The one inside the agate was reported to be not as difficult as expected, and various tactics were being shared.

‘Vincent’ was said to be relatively easy to approach when coming out, as he moved around alone without any subordinates. However, in an intoxicated and insane state, he exhibited unpredictable attack patterns and extraordinary evasion skills, making it more challenging to defeat, as per the shared experiences.
Users who couldn’t capture ‘Vincent’ roaming outside and had to attack the agate found it easier than expected, according to their reviews.

That day would be the best day to strategize against Vincent.

The emotions filled with sorrow would disrupt his ease, you see.

Unless it’s the day he emerges from the ground, Vincent retreats back to his hiding place. Therefore, to find him, you might have to search the entire forest unless it’s the day he comes up from underground.

It’s said that there are a total of five named monsters positioned from the entrance to the dwelling of ‘Vincent’ below the ground. Defeating these named monsters is more challenging and time-consuming than expected, but it’s not impossible.

‘Vincent,’ who held a frenzied concert on the anniversary of his lover’s birthday, retreated from his dwelling in a tired and melancholic state, making him less powerful than above ground. Moreover, Ruela didn’t want to wait for Vincent to come up from underground. She couldn’t afford to waste any time.

“Are we going to catch that guy?”

Mitchell asked with a stern expression. Since he suffered greatly from Vincent’s powerful attacks, he might find it more frightening than others.

It seems like it was too much of a demand for Mitchell.

Suppressing her own greed, Ruela quickly shook her head.

“Or we could go hunt other monsters. Once my level goes up, more quests will appear, so that would be okay too.”
“Mitchell, I’ll follow your opinion.”

Kite did not make a unilateral decision but handed over the initiative to his friend. After some contemplation, Mitchell spoke.

“Then let’s set off for now. Even if we don’t catch that monster, we can still complete the hunting quest we failed before. So, let’s decide the destination towards the Orrwall border. Once we get there, we can finish the hunting quest. As for capturing the monster… we can think about it on the way.”

“Alright. If, by any chance, we encounter Balder, Ruela, try not to reveal your disguised appearance as much as possible. If things get tough, just use the teleportation scroll.”

Since the journey to the border would take over 10 hours of travel time, they decided to move with a single carriage.

Riding a large rectangular four-wheeled carriage, they left the Peroz Mansion. Balder’s subordinates approached to inspect the inside of the carriage.

“What should we do?”

Raphael, who was sitting in the front seat, opened the carriage window and asked.

“Don’t stop; keep going. I don’t like the way they act as if they’re giving permission every time we leave the mansion. If they chase us, it’s obvious they’ll stop us for inspection anyway, so we might as well keep going without stopping as if it’s natural.”

“Okay. Let’s just go. Hagen, ride on!”

As soon as Raphael finished speaking, the carriage’s speed began to increase. Looking back, they could see Balder’s subordinates staring at them with an awkward expression.

“They don’t seem to be overly suspicious. I was worried it might become troublesome if they chased us, but it seems like they didn’t want to bother us by pursuing.”
Looking out the window, Mitchell leaned back as if relieved and said, “Ruela probably thinks we fled to the Orrwal Kingdom. But it’s unlikely we’ll encounter Balder near the border, right?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. I’m sick of it becoming troublesome.”

Perhaps thinking of Balder, Mitchell, with an annoyed expression, looked at Ruela.

“Do you think we can really defeat that monster we used to play the violin for?”
