Episode 191 Truth
I guess the last chapter contains important information.
The first sentence written in flowing handwriting.
-Heida betrayed me.
I finished reading the article.
And then the contents written before.
Simple tasks and small incidents. The time spent with Heida was recorded.
About how much Odelto loved Heida and treated her with faith and love.
It was written in detail about the mentally unstable Heida’s misdeeds and the many sacrifices and efforts that were made for her.
However, as the story progresses, Odelto’s feelings of growing weary are revealed, and in the end, Heida abandons the favor and attacks those around her.
If someone who didn’t know saw it, it would be full of content that would make them angry at Heida for betraying Odelto.
“Look at this? It’s fun.”
I held back laughter.
SS-class power, the eyes that gaze upon the stars.
The power to read information not only gave me the unreadable otherworldly language, but also information about the diary itself.
[Fake Odelto’s Diary]
-This is a diary written in Odelto’s handwriting.
Over 100 pages of forged material were falsified.
The sincerity is admirable.
It was obvious who had forged it.
Denium, that guy must have done it.
There was a reason why I casually handed over the diary.
The intention is to provoke emotions in order to seal Heida.
It’s a simple but secretly effective method.
What if he was a bald man?
“I should have accepted the quest right away.”
thank god.
Come up here first before that idiot does something stupid.
I need to finish it quickly and post a strategy guide.
He sat down on the bed with a snicker.
Interest in forged diaries has long since faded.
I feel a little bit lighter.
I’ve had many questions since I received the quest from Denium.
first.
“Quest name.”
The quest name he gave was Heida Seal.
If he really wanted revenge for his son, wouldn’t the quest have been named ‘Denium’s Revenge’ instead of ‘Seal’?
And unlike Heida, who is a fairy, Denium is human.
The ability to lie.
He never directly said that Heida killed Odelto.
I’m also concerned about the titles that Denium holds.
The second question is.
“The quest I am on.”
Odelto’s Gift Quest.
If you think about it simply, it’s just giving Heida the gift that Odelto wanted to give her.
It’s a very common story, except that it’s a hidden quest.
One thing to note is that clearing it leads to a linked quest.
[Odelto’s Gift – Hidden Quest]
-When the quest is cleared, it leads to ‘Odelto’s Request – Hidden Quest’.
At first, I was only focused on the Pelline set and skipped over it, but the more I thought about it, the stranger it seemed.
“There is no one who gave the quest.”
It wasn’t given by Heida, the person in charge, nor was it a quest given by Denium.
It’s a quest that occurred naturally.
It’s not an event, it’s nonsense.
In addition, the linked quest is ‘Odelto’s Request’.
How can the dead Odelto give me a quest?
One thing if there is a possibility.
That there is something that replaces Odelto.
[Sound reasoning!]
[5,000 points will be awarded!]
Am I right?
System rewards were given.
Toph is strangely kind in this regard.
Whatever it is, Denium is lying to me.
At least I’m sure he’s trolling to get me to do the quest.
There is a reason for this, but first, let’s look for traces of Odelto.
I looked around the room while maintaining my power.
“You were here.”

I was able to find the real Odelto’s diary.
There are also letters stuck between the diaries.
I glanced at the door.
There’s still no sign of Denium coming in, but it can’t hurt to be careful.
I’m curious about the contents of the diary, but let’s stop here for today.
-Rumble
I opened the door.
Denium greets me, leaning against the hallway wall with his arms crossed.
“It’s coming out faster than I thought.”
“Yes. I feel upset when I look at the diary.”
“It can’t be helped. People call fairies a mysterious race and think they’re harmless, but the truth is different.”
A guy who bows his head, pretending to be sad.
At this level, isn’t he worthy of acting?
If he hadn’t been a nobleman, he would have become a successful actor.
“Yeah. Have you thought about doing the quest?”
“I don’t know yet.”
As soon as I bounce him off, his complexion suddenly worsens.
“Are you thinking of just going up like this?”
The reason he asks this question is obvious.
Didn’t you check it yourself? You went out into the field and came back fine.
You don’t want to miss it.
Because there aren’t many people who can walk around without being attacked by Heida.
I didn’t know that there might be no one else besides me.
I know better than anyone that I can go through the portal if I put my mind to it.
“I need some more time to think about it.”
“Ugh. It’s not something worth urging. I respect your opinion, but… … .”
Denium continues with a bitter expression.
“Actually, I don’t have much time. Maybe you are my last chance. Then I will spend the rest of my life feeling resentful without being able to avenge my son.”
“There is no time.”
Is that it?
The reactions Denium showed when he gave out quests.
At first I was like, what is this? But now I’m sure.
The guy is getting anxious.
Are you afraid you’ll miss me?
That’s true too, but… … .
“You’re not doing your NPC job properly.”
“How, how about that!”
“NPCs in the safe zone don’t seem to have any other role and are just giving quests.”
Each NPC has a given role.
As Heida roams the field and attacks climbers.
It’s the same reason that the exiled druid priest Fengryul was acting as a district boss and Gale was exploited in the slave camp.
But what if you don’t perform your given role properly?
At that time, if you hold on and hold on, you will lose your self and become a puppet that moves according to the will of the tower.
Didn’t Alios eventually work as a jeweler?
The Snow Spirit Queen, Hainu?
After being neglected for a long time, it lost its strength and turned into a seed.
‘Denium’s role is to give quests in the safe zone.’
But I have never succeeded in a single quest.
That is, there is no achievement.
If someone had succeeded, Heida wouldn’t have been on the 48th floor.
“You know a lot, climber.”
“There was quite a bit of interaction with NPCs.”
Denium, who had been glaring at me for a moment, sighed.
I couldn’t see his expression because he had his head down, but I could clearly see that he was thinking about all sorts of things.
How will it come out?
“You’re right. I wasn’t doing my job properly while I was in the safe zone. That’s why I couldn’t avenge my son! I’m asking you this. Please help me.”
It comes out more directly than you think.
Well, if you don’t know about the NPC, then you wouldn’t know. Lying to someone you know would only have the opposite effect.
Let me ask you one more question while I’m at it.
“How do you seal Heida? It would be better if Denium, an NPC, came forward rather than a mere climber.”
No matter how strong the climber is, this is only the 40th floor.
This is a section where NPCs are significantly stronger.
Why would you ask me for help?
No, even if I step forward, how can I seal it?
“Don’t worry about that. Just use this.”
Denium takes something out of his pocket.
A fist-sized cube.
There is an unknown pattern drawn on top.
[Mental storage device]
– A mental storage device created by the wise man himself
-Made by combining spirit stones and arcane gems.
-Can temporarily possess a spirit or fairy-like entity.
-NPC unavailable
Was there such a device?
This certainly seems possible.
“I want to use it, but there are restrictions. I can’t use it.”
Option to disable NPC usage.
Here’s why he wanted my help.
“Ahem. You could tell me more.”
Denium coughs a few times and then looks at me.
The eyes become lively.
“Once you seal and destroy Heida, I will be the only NPC left here. That means I can become the NPC in charge of the 48th floor!”
His lips turn up.
“It’s been said that those who are worthy deserve to be treated accordingly. I’ll adjust the quest rewards a bit.”
[Denium changes quest rewards.]
[Heida Seal – Hidden Quest]
-Duke Denium of Sainton Peace wishes to seal NPC Heida.
-You can help him.
-Reward: Treasure of the Pregrent Family, Sword of Greed (AA), Equipment left behind by the hero of the fallen world (Choose 1)
– High chance of death if failed.
“You know that NPCs are beings from a world that has fallen into ruin. I am the Duke of Sainton Peace! I was also a war hero. There are many heroes who have ruled the world with me. I will give you one of the items they used.”
He said it as if he was being kind, but I laughed inside.
Titles aren’t just given to you.
I know it’s like a resume that represents how you’ve acted and what kind of life you’ve lived.
The titles he holds are… … .
– One who is intoxicated with titles and power.
Dealing with Heida and trying to become the main NPC is a half-instinctive action.
Since the world was destroyed, he must have taken the heroes’ belongings.
At first glance, it seemed like a harsh story.
‘There is no list of items used by heroes anywhere.’
It is said that it is okay to give the spoon that the hero used.
I wonder if that’s true, but I’m not sure.
Anyway, since we had already seen each other once, there was no way we could have prevented that from happening.
Especially if you are much stronger than the climber.
I’m being humble now, but I didn’t know how things would change if I achieved what I wanted.
I don’t know about anything else, but the moment you tried to fool me, my trust was gone.
“I’ll come back tomorrow. I want to calm down and finish reading my diary. You can expect good news.”
“Please. I’ll wait.”
With those words, I left the mansion without any regrets.
I felt Denium’s gaze on my back, but I ignored him and left the safe zone.
“You came early today? Apple pie! Apple pie!”
Heida, who had been waiting for me near the safe zone without fail, clung to me and fluttered.
He patted the guy’s head.
If you just look at it like this, it looks like a child.
“I didn’t get apple pie. I got something else instead.”
“Anything else?”
Heida, who suddenly became gloomy, flies up.
I heard that fairies are very curious.
I took the letter out of my inventory.
“This is the letter Odelto asked me to give you.”
“letter!”
Hea then reaches out his hand with sparkling eyes.
“I’m curious about what it’s about. Should we watch it together? Hehehe.”
I raised the corners of my lips and pretended to open the envelope.
“Oh, no! I’ll watch it alone! I’ll cry! Oh no!”
Heida started to make a fuss like a child who had his toy taken away.
They fly around like crazy, knocking me over, hanging on to my arms and pulling my ears.
Ah. My eyes are dizzy.
“I’ll give it to you. Okay, okay.”
“Hehehe! Alright!”
I handed over the letter saying I lost.
Heida hugged me tightly and quickly took the letter.
And then, with a thud, it flies far away.
“Don’t peek!”
“Don’t steal.”
I have something I need to see without you knowing.
After watching Heida moving away at a tremendous speed for a moment, I also headed to the hideout with Deokchun.
I’m thinking of checking out Odelto’s diary.
It didn’t take long before we arrived at the abandoned house.
Since the Odelto’s Gift quest hasn’t been cleared yet, it looks like Heida has to check the contents of the letter to clear it.
It’s just a matter of time.
While waiting for the clear, I looked through my diary.
Soon I was faced with the truth.
