Chapter 21: The Forest Witch's Secret
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Heated discussions and rumors were posted on the major game forums about this person.
Some netizens even carried out internet mass hunting in an attempt to unveil the player's identity. However, "The One" immediately came forward to prohibit such behavior, stating that whatever happened in the game should stay in the game, and not be brought into reality.
After being punished by One Technology Company, the netizens stopped their internet mass hunting and began to discuss Reyker's actions in the game.
Very soon, those who were attentive noticed that Reyker had been interacting with an NPC named Siouk for some time. The discovery immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Many strategy masters rushed over to Siouk's in an attempt to retrace Rekyker's footsteps in receiving quests to see if they could discover the reasons behind his strength.
Reyker couldn't care less about all the chaos in the outside world.
He took out the gold-quality dagger that he had obtained previously and checked its attributes.
[Bloodthirsty Golden Snake Dagger]
[Quality]: Gold
[Effects]
[Lifesteal]: 15% of the damage caused by the dagger will be used to heal the wielder of the dagger.
[Poison Infusion]: When the dagger hits the target, it will cast a snake venom effect.
[Snake Venom]: Deals 15 points of damage per second to the target, can be stacked once.
After seeing the effects of the Golden Snake Dagger, Reyker's eyes lit up. Lifesteal was exactly what he needed.
He put the dagger away, then clicked to submit the quest.
He continued with the exclusive quest.
The lights in the treehouse lit up again, and Count Hilder's figure appeared once again on the stairs.
Reyker's eyes were fixed on Count Hilder's figure that was walking on the stairs.
When he realized that the singing in the treehouse had stopped, Count Hilder took out a rose and revealed a confident smile.
Following this, Reyker watched as the girl who opened the door revealed a delighted smile. She pinned the rose onto her clothes and pulled Count Hilder into the house.
The moment Reyker saw Elena, he immediately recognized that she was the ultimate boss of the dungeon, the witch.
What exactly happened for a maiden in love to become the eerie witch that controls the entire forest?
Reyker could not help but be curious about this. He immediately got out of the river and ran towards the treehouse.
The minute he stepped onto the treehouse's staircase, he realized that he had been stupid.
He forgot that he was not part of the current world, which meant he wouldn't interact with the existences here. To prove this point, Reyker stepped hard on the wooden stairs, but no sound came out. He tried to break a wooden stick with his hands, but it was as hard as steel.
Speechless, Reyker ran up the stairs and just jumped into the room through the window of the treehouse.
Sure enough, the two people who were flirting in the room did not notice Reyker who had entered through the window.
The furnishings in the room were very simple. There was a bookshelf, a desk, and a small bed. The only thing that did not fit in with the whole place was the small open kitchen next to the door.
Just as the two were enjoying their kiss, the soup on the stove whistled.
Elena pressed her finger on Count Hilder's lips and smiled. "Wait a minute. I made a delicious pot of beef soup."
"Is there anything more delicious than you? I can't wait," After saying this, while Elena cried out in surprise, Count Hilder pushed her onto the bed.
Then, he let Reyker enjoy an amazing sex scene.
When it was over, Count Hilder stood on the balcony of the treehouse and looked at the slowly flowing river below. He said, "Do you think there are other intelligent creatures like us humans in this world?"
"I think so. Aren't angels intelligent?" Elena said.
"Some say that water is the source of human life, and I agree. Humans evolved from fish, so will there still be some who are still living in the water?"
"Your thoughtful look always fascinates me, but this bowl of soup is about to go cold. Drink it first," Elena handed the soup in her hand to Count Hilder.
The Count took the bowl of soup from her and placed it on the railing of the balcony, and then wrapped his arm around her slender waist.
"Elena, tell me, why did you approach me?"
The woman's body stiffened for a second when she heard this, then a puzzled smile appeared on her face as she said, "Sir Hilder, I don't understand what you're saying."
"Dear, your body has betrayed you."
Seeing such a development in the situation, Elena immediately shrank in an attempt to retreat.
But at this time, Hilder's arm was like a pair of pincers, tightly clamping onto Elena's waist.
"Don't you want to know the secret of my research? I'll show you now."
With this, he used his other hand to take out a bottle of scarlet liquid from his left pocket.
He opened the bottle cap with his mouth, and immediately, a sweet and bloody smell that was like watermelon and extremely concentrated condensed milk was emitted.
Then, Hilder poured the whole bottle of blood into the lake directly below. It seemed to be only a little blood, but it dyed the entire river red.
After a while, the crimson surface of the river began to bubble as if it was boiling.
As a result, a right hand with fish scales appeared. Following that, a group of fishmen that Reyker had seen in the dungeon appeared from the river.
The leading fishman priest waved the staff in his hand.
"A woman for a bottle of potions," Count Hilder said.
Then, a series of chattering sounds came from below.
After listening to what the fishmen had to say, the Count pushed Elena down from the balcony.
When the group of fishmen caught her, they immediately danced and let out strange and excited cries. Finally, the group of fishmen brought Elena into the river.
After the fishmen left, a bottle of black potion was left on the bank of the river. The bottle was filled with disgusting mucus.
Seeing this, Count Hilder jumped down from the balcony and immediately picked up the potion on the ground after he landed steadily.
With an excited and manic look on his face, he said, "With this, my research can be further advanced."
Then, Reyker watched Count Hilder leave the forest with the potion.
Following this, a quest notification appeared.
[Please return to this place tomorrow to discover the changes in the forest.]
After reading this message, Reyker could not help but yawn. He had indeed been online for too long.
He quickly went offline. By the time he got out of the game cabin, the sky was already dark, and the Moon was hanging in the sky.
Three dishes were placed on the table outside the game cabin.
Reyker did not want to wake his family. He carefully carried the food and wanted to walk to the side.
Unfortunately, his actions still woke his parents who were sleeping.
"You can't continue playing till such hours!" His mother's grumbling came from the room, followed by the sound of her putting on shoes. "There are meat dishes in the fridge."
"I can do it myself. You guys go to sleep," Reyker said hurriedly.
Seeing that his busy parents still thought about him and would prepare food for him at night, he couldn't help but clench his fists. He must make a name for himself in "The One"!
