The middle aged man scratched his head with an embarra.s.sed expression. It didnât matter even if he didnât reply. His facial expressions and gestures showed everything clearly. Irina replied with an emotionless face.
âI understand what youâre saying.â
âIâm sorry.â
âThatâs okay. I know this isnât your intention. I made up my mind when I decide to disobey Commander Hamanâs instructions.â
After the Beltana war ended, she had expected to be sent to Hanan which was the hardest fought battlefield. She was generally indifferent to everything but she was also a user. And a user always needed experience. However the announcement was delayed for a fortnight andâŚ..All of a sudden she received a notification from the section chief she belonged to and was given an unexpected mission. Irina was able to notice the rough situation immediately.
âCommander Haman.â
Although the Beltana battle ended with the federationâs victory, Commander Haman was pushed into a corner. Ark was displayed as a war hero and the federation was concerned the media would start criticizing their treatment of prisoners so they pushed all the criticism towards the incompetence of Commander Haman. Naturally this was because of Irina. She rebelled against Haman but it didnât work. Ark was the one who solved the problem himself. He placed the video of the battle onto the internet and attracted the interest of users and NPCs. But Haman didnât forget that fact that she rebelled. The federation members also didnât forget that she went against the decision of the higher ups. This mission she couldnât understand was probably retaliation for that incident.
âAll the worlds are the same. Power was everything. This is a game so I was hoping that justice would win in hereâŚâŚâ
But there wasnât anything she could do. She wasnât the type of protest in front of the presidential office. She had no ambition for changing the world. She just wanted a small shelter to relax. A small shelter where the eyes of a callous father wonât reachâŚâŚ
âI donât understand.â
The section chief said as he stared at her.
âYou knew about the circ.u.mstances of the federation yet you were still determined. I heard that you were about to receive a promotion to lieutenant soon. But that promotion was put off. So far youâve never caused any problems. You also never showed interest in other peopleâs matters. Therefore I donât understand why you did acted in a way that would attract Hamanâs backlash. Is that Ark person someone special to you?â
âSpecial?â
âIsnât he? I know that youâre not an emotional person.â
âIâm not an emotional personâŚâŚâ
Irina murmured with a strange expression. When she thought about it, the section chiefâs words were right. She fled from her father into Galaxian and resolved to do all the work in her own way. Thatâs why she was obsessed with sticking to the rules. It was illogical that she took such actions on Beltana. It was definitely strange. This was also the part that her section chief was asking about.
âAt that time I was angry. Why? I didnât like Commander Hamanâs actions but there were different ways to dispute it. But I visited Commander Haman and questioned him excessively. Why did I act like that? What made me so angry? Does it have something to do with Ark like the section chief said? No, that is impossible.â
Irina thought for a while before shaking his head.
âI donât understand either.â
âHey hey, why does your answer have no sincerity?â
âIt is unrelated to my sincerity. I just donât know.â
âThat sounds like you.â
The section chief smiled and said. But Irina didnât say anything else. The section chief watched her for a while before saying.
âAnyway, this situation might be a little uncomfortable but just endure it. The atmosphere in the upper ranks is improving. If you handle this mission well then youâll probably receive that lieutenant promotion. I donât know if this will be a comfort but this mission isnât easy. If the media is aware of it then the federationâs reputation might nosedive again so please deal with it before then. Do you understand? I recognize your skills so I believe you can handle this.â
âUnderstood.â
âThis is the material sent from the field.â
The section chief handed her a file that said.
-Report on the ma.s.s breakout at the orbit prison Stael.
A new quest was registered after she read the words on the file
Ark looked around with interested eyes. Paved roads were stretched out in all directions from the fountain in the plaza and chattering crowds were everywhere. Men and women wearing robes were sitting on benches reading magic books while merchants were selling goods in street stalls. Users wearing armour were shouting to gather users for hunting in dungeons. And chicken were crying from nearby buildings.
âThis is the good part about New World.â
Ark laughed while sitting on a bench. Thatâs right. This wasnât the pioneering era in the 24th century. It was a world in the 10th centuryâŚ..a different world. Instead of a world of gun and missiles, New World was a world of swords and magic. And this place was Selebrid, the capital city of the Schudenberg kingdom. Why was Ark suddenly in New World? It occurred a couple of days ago.
âDid you know?â
He had dropped in at Global Exos. The Planning Department chief Ha Myung-woo suddenly asked him.
âHuh? What?â
âThe number of people connecting to New World is decreasing these days.â
âAh, yes. I guess Iâve been busy.â
âWhy is your answer like that? You canât be that busy!â
âNo, I really am busyâŚ..â
This had happened when Ark first arrived in Charem. He was inside the pipes at the water facility so he had plenty of time. But Ark knew. Ha Myung-woo seemed to have gone through some difficulties judging by his voice. Once Ark was seated, Ha Myung-woo started to list his complaints.
âThere are a various reasons for the number of connections decreasing. There are various errors every time an expansion pack is released and the development speed is slow so the new content canât match up with the usersâ level up speed. However, the planning team investigated and came to the conclusion that the biggest reason is that the playerâs interest has cooled.
If the interest cooled then of course the number of connections would decrease. The 20 people of the planning team were mobilized for an investigation? Did they ever think that the cause of New Worldâs falling numbers was because of the stupid planning team? The words were in his throat but he swallowed them down. When Ark first joined Global Exosâ entrance examination, Ha Myung-woo was the person in charge of it. Despite becoming Global Exosâ advisor, Ark still found Ha Myung-woo difficult. Anyway, Ha Myung-woo continued talking.
âThe planning team worried for a while so we created a new project. These days a ma.s.sive amount of publicity comes from internet broadcasting. Therefore we have to promote the fantasy game system once again. After having users fill out a questionnaire, the answers came back as âArk.â Ark is the strongest person in New World so he is the thing that users are most curious about. So the planning team joined with an internet broadcasting company. The name will be âArk, the Legend of that Timeâ and it will be a trilogy!â
âWhat is he proposing now?â
Ark looked at Ha Myung-woo with irritation. When Ark was initially appointed as the advisor of Global Exos, the users interest exploded and Ha Myung-woo created things like âArk, I am a userâ, âArk, the human,â âArk, behind the legend,â âArk, where is he going,â and so on. Now another new project was being launchedâŚ..and the name was âArk, the Legend of that Timeâ? He was being treated as a retired entertainer. However Ark had no right to refuse. The reason Ark could become an advisor for Global Exos was because he obtained the master code and he had responsibilities in New World. This was also one of Arkâs main tasks.
âI understand what youâre saying. Iâll make some time.â
Ark accepted the suggestion. But the situation in Galaxian suddenly changed and he postponed it until Charemâs problem was finally settle yesterday.
âI might not have time when I move to another place so letâs put it in order while I have time!â
This was the reason Ark came to New World.
âI was a little annoyed when I first heard the news but it is good once I entered. I suffered after fighting the Sufferers for so long in Galaxian so the medieval city has a calming effect. But when are they comingâŚâŚâ
Ark confirmed the time and looked around.
âYou are Ark-nim?â
Two people started approaching him. They were both wearing robes when the woman in front holding a microphone and the man behind holding a magic projector to shoot a video. He was holding a magic projector that cost 50 gold (memory crystal sold separately).
âYes, I am Ark.â
âThatâs great. Iâm Fufu from African TV and this is Camel.â
âAh, Iâve seen you before. Are you a professional newscaster for virtual reality games?â
âThatâs right. But Ark-nim is much more famous than me. You are New Worldâs strongest gamer and Global Exosâ consultant. That is indeed a userâs romance. There was a lot of interest from before but this is the first time I saw you directly. Weâll take good care of this trilogy.â
The red haired Fufu said with a smile. She looked vaguely like Roco.
âSo now what?â
âIâve heard from Ha Myung-woo that Ark-nim has done a lot of broadcasts before. Yet Ark-nim never talked about the NPCs that helped you become the strongest gamer. This time we want to talk to the people around Ark-nim.â
âThe people aroundâŚ..you mean specificallyâŚ..â
âThere are a number of people. For example the 7 heroes that helped Ark-nim against Lucifer, Sid who worked with Ark-nim for a long time and is now in charge of the dwarf union, Buksil, Ulmeok, Sapjil, JusticeMan and the rehabilitation members as well as the Meow, racc.o.o.ns and other beast clans.â
âThat is a long list.â
Once he heard Fufuâs words, he really though it had been a long time since he entered New World. Then Fufu said with a smile.
âAs expected, the thing that users are most curious about is Arkâs summons.â
âSummons?â
âYes, the colleagues who travelled with Ark-nim from the beginning until you became a legend. Yet theyâve never appeared on any broadcasts. How does Ark-nimâs summons live normally? That is the question that appeared the most in the survey.â
âSummonsâŚ..â
Ark scratched his head for a while. Ark also hadnât seen them for a while. Of course he used to often enter New World. However, he could handle the bugs by himself so he didnât need to call his summons. No, Ark had the master code so he was like a G.o.d in New World. Even if he faced a level 999,999 devil, he could just press âDelâ so he didnât need to call his summons. Therefore it had been 1 year since Ark saw his summons. However, he started to remember his summons after starting Galaxian. He was playing alone so he sometimes missed the days when he travelled with his summons.
âThatâs great. Doesnât this give me an excuse to see them after a long time?â
âI understand. Then I will summon them right away.â
Ark laughed and nodded his head. Then Fufu shook her head and quickly said.
âNo, thatâs not it. I told you. The users are wondering what the summons does normally. In order words, we want to go to them.â
âWell that is also okay.â
Ark was anxious when hearing those words. He hadnât seen them for 1 year so he didnât know what they were doing.
âI understand. Then Iâll take you to them immediately.â
Ark smiled and took out a lamp from his bag. He rubbed the lamp with his sleeve and a giant rose from it. The giant made of blue smoke kneeled in front of Ark and lowered his head.
âMaster, did you call?
âAh, Ark-nim, that is?â
âThe genie of the lamp. He is a pretty carefree guy.â
Ark tapped the giantâs knee and laughed. The existence of the master code was still a secret for the general users. It wasnât possible to announce that a user had control of all of New World. But Ark wasnât a magician so there would be problems if he suddenly used spatial movement or removed a whole mountain. Therefore Global Exosâ development team quickly create the genie of the lamp after Ark obtained the master code. All the miracles that Ark created with the master code could be blamed on the genie of the lamp. Therefore the ability of the genie was almost unlimited.
âHeok! W-what the h.e.l.l?â
âLamp! The genie of the lamp!â
âThe genie of the lamp? T-then the person holding the lampâŚ..â
âArk! He is the only person in New World who has the genieâs lamp!â
âWah! Ark! Ark has appeared in Selebrid! Pictures! Take pictures!â
The users in Selebrid started flocking. However Ark didnât pay attention to the interest of the users.
âGenie, please move me.â
âWhere is the place you desire?
âWellâŚ..shall we start with that guy? Genie, the destination is Dark Earth. Move Fufu, Camel and I to the Immortal Castle in Dark Earth on Seutandal.â
âAs Master commands!
Kwaaaaaaah-!
A storm wrapped around Ark, Fufu and Camel.
âT-this is?â
âIt is the Immortal Castle on Dark Earth which is the Holy Land of the vampires.â
Ark replied while looking at the city locked in darkness.
Pepeng! Pepeng! Pepeng!
There were successive ringing sounds and dozens of vampires appeared. Wearing red armour and holding various weapons, they were the guards of the Immortal Castle. AndâŚ..
âWho dares trespa.s.s on the Immortal Castle?
An old man shouted from the centre of the guards.
âHey Lord. Itâs been a while. Are you healthy?â
-What? d.a.m.n, is it Ark? I was wondering why it was quiet. I told you the last time you came here.Please donât just spatially move to the castle. Donât you know how many cracks appear in the magic barrier every time you use spatial movement? At least use the dragon when coming here.
The pale, old man sighed and muttered with irritation. Then Fufu asked Ark in an uneasy voice.
âArk-nim, isnât that an incredibly scary vampire?â
âHuh? Oh, that old man is the Vampire Lord.â
âVampire Lord! The King of all vampires that has enough magic to kill a dragon?â
âThatâs right.â
Ark shrugged and replied. Thatâs right. The guards were protecting the Vampire Lord! Like Fufu said, he was the King of all vampires and one of the strongest NPCs in the world. However, Ark had already become friends with the Vampire Lord one year ago. Because he was a G.o.d. A vampire with eternal life had nothing against him. Power was the thing that determined ranking. And Ark was a user will the power to match the Vampire Lord. Because he was a G.o.d. Anyway, the Vampire Lord was a rare NPC that general users hardly ever saw! Fufu became restless with the appearance of the Lord.
âC-Camel, turn on the camera! Stand-by! Ohhh! Everyone, it is the emergence of a rare NPC! How awesome! The Vampire Lord who is a legend! Look! That disinterested face! The fearsome magic that can be felt even at a distance! He is indeed a monster of monsters!â
âWhat? Who is that impolite woman?
âDonât worry about something like that. She is with me today.â
Ark clicked his tongue and sighed.
âBy the way, where is Curio?â
âHe is in his mansion. Yes, this is good. Please do something.
âDo something?â What are you saying?â
âThat Curio. I reallyâŚ..he is your summon so I left him along but seeing his actions every dayâŚ..he really is a young vampire. You should go and see him. Youâll then understand what Iâm saying. Iâm asking you. Please control him somehow.
The Vampire Lord said before disappearing with the guards. Curio was one of Arkâs 3 summons. At first he was just a bat but under Arkâs loving (?) care, he grew rapidly until he earned a spot in the Immortal Castle. He was a bit sa.s.sy at times but he was a pet that suited Ark.
âI should control him? What does that mean?â
It didnât take that long for Ark to get an answer.
âOh, finally! This is the mansion of Ark-nimâs summon, the vampire Curio. His usual appearance is that of a cute body so he is especially popular among female users but in reality he is a vampire! In addition, he is a high pureness vampire. What kind of life does a vampire like this live? As a vampire, does he sleep in a coffin? Or is he raising his magic in preparation for any upcoming battles? This will now be revealed to the public!â
Fufu relayed while entering the gloomy mansion.
âKyaaaak!â
A female scream was suddenly heard. He was a vampire so maybe he captured someone to suck their blood! He thought like that for a short time butâŚâŚArkâs face soon warped strangely.
âKyaaah, over here! Curio-nim!â
âHohohoho, try to catch me.â
Barely dressed women were running around the hall while laughing. And chasing after them was a boy who covered his eyes with a towel.
âHehehehe, you cuties. Iâm going to catch you. Ang, Iâm going to eat you!â
The body saying such silly wordsâŚâŚ
âCurio?â
Ark murmured with an amazed voice.
âHey! What is this? Who dared invade Curio-nimâs mansion!â
âYou rude b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Iâll ask again! Donât make me hurt you! Weâre going to hurt you!â
3 bats shouted and flew towards him.
âAh! Ah! King Master-nim!â
They soon screamed when they saw Arkâs face and hit the brakes. The 3 bats were Curioâs cousin and they followed him once Curio became a lord. There was a time when they believed Ark was lower than Curio but now they were taught that he was the King Master. They didnât dare be rude to him anymore.
âWhy is the King Master here?â
âWhat is going on here?â
âAhâŚ.IâŚ.thatâŚ.you seeâŚ..â
The bats alternating between looking at Curio and Ark who was glaring. In the end they sighed and said.
âLord-nim has changed.â
âWhen Lord-nim was still accompanying Ark, he treated his well. But since Lord-nim entered the Immortal CastleâŚ..â
âThe Lord-nim we wanted wasnât like this. We wanted a vampire with the pride of a vampire. However the Vampire Lord just sighs at his actions while other vampires gossip. Huk, having a Lord-nim like this is really embarra.s.sing.â
âNow Lord-nim doesnât listen to our words anymore. Now he is just living the life of debaucheryâŚ.huk!â
Ark listened to the bats whine with an amazed expression. Curio who was chasing the girls then embraced Ark.
âHehehehe, I got you! Kikiki, Iâve decided to pick you tonight. Huh? Isnât your body quite firm? And why are you dressed in so many layers of clothes? Huhuhuhu, are you embarra.s.sed? This cutie, then Iâll peel it off you personally! Hehehehe!â
And he started groping Arkâs body. It was this. This was the reason why the Vampire Lord sighed. While Ark was spending time in the 24 century, his summon was running around feasting and committing acts of debauchery every night. ButâŚâŚ
ââŚâŚYou seem to be enjoying yourself huh?â
Ark growled out with anger in his eyes.
âHuh? What? A manâs voice? Eh? Why is a man here? Huh? What b.a.s.t.a.r.d are you? Who dared interrupt Curioâs funâŚ.heok! M-Master?â
âIâm sorry Iâm a man.â
âW-why is Master here?â
âWhy, is there a reason for me not to be here?â
âAh, noâŚ..thatâs not itâŚ..â
âWhy? Huh? Why are you sweating? Is there something I shouldnât notice?â
âAh, no, that, I meanâŚ..MasterâŚ.IâŚ..â
Curio broke into a cold sweat and retreated. Then a woman who was watching from behind shouted.
âHey you! What are you doing? This is my money so whatâs the big deal? He might be a summon but he is still a vampire with privacy! You have no right to interfere even if you are his master. In addition, itâs been 3 years in New World and 1 year in reality since youâve seen him and now you suddenly show up and act like his Master! He isnât just your pet bat anymore. He is the high pureness vampire of the Immortal Castle! Curio!â
The woman had a lot of bravery. But Curio had forgotten one thing. Who was Ark?
â3 yearsâŚ..that is certainly a long time.â
Ark nodded before turning around. He looked at Fufu and Camel who were staring blankly and smiled.
âCan you turn off the camera for a while?â
âHuh? Ah, yes!â
-The broadcast will stop airing for a while thanks to various circ.u.mstances. Please be patient.
After this message played for a few minutes.
âSob sob, Iâm sorry. I went overboard. Please forgive me.â
Curio shed tears as he begged for forgiveness. Curioâs face wasâŚ..
âM-mosaic! It is a mosaic!â
âŚâŚIt wasnât necessary to explain the details. It could be guessed just from seeing the reactions of the women trembling in the corner. Ark then took one step towards Curio. Curioâs face that had a mosaic stuck to it freaked out and retreated.
âDonât be so astonished. Huh? Youâre acting like I did something bad.â
âS-something bad? No! Master is a good man!â
âThis brat, you sound so naturalâŚâŚâ
Ark shamelessly laughed and said.
âHowever, I think I was a little wrong. It is my fault for leaving you alone for 3 years. I should still take care of my summons no matter how busy I am. A high pureness vampire has a lot of money and they also donât age. Furthermore, you have no work so you have a lot of free time. Yes, itâs not your fault. The surrounding environment is bad. Isnât that right?â
âYou understand?â
âYes, so I decided to change the environment. You will live like a healthy vampire.â
âHuh? C-change the environment?â
He spoke in an uneasy voice. Ark called the genie from the lamp and ordered with a pleasant smile.
âGenie, confiscate all the residences and a.s.sets that belong to Curio. And pay him an allowance of 10 silver a month. Can you do that?â
âOf course!
Nothing was impossible for the genie of the lamp who was the incarnation of the master code in New World. Once Ark gave the money, there was a swirl of magic and the mansion was taken apart and sucked up. That wasnât all. All the goods and even the money in Curioâs pocket was drawn into the swirl of magic. AndâŚ..clink. Curio gazed blankly as 10 silver coins fell into his hand.
âHow about it? It wonât be that hard to live like this right? If you receive 10 silver a month then you donât have to worry about dying of starvation. How about it? Isnât this a good consideration from a master worried about his summons? Arenât you thankful?â
ââŚâŚ.â
Curio couldnât answer. He kept looking at the 10 silver coins with a soulless expression.
âLord-nim, now you can stop that life of debauchery!â
âYes, weâll help you as well.â
ââŚâŚ.â
Curio couldnât answer. He kept looking at the 10 silver coins with a soulless expression.
âYesâŚ..what aâŚ.heart-warming sceneâŚ..yesâŚ..it seems to be like that.â
Fufu finished off.
âThis is really embarra.s.singâŚ..â
Ark glanced at Fufu and inwardly sighed. He was a legendary gamer. Ark was a G.o.d in New World. He mightâve neglected his summons for a while but who knew that Curio would start womanizing? Thinking of such a scene being broadcasted made his face turn red. Ark was his master so wouldnât some people who saw the broadcast also think he was like that?
âSurely Purital isnât like this as well?â
Ark remembered that he was a reliable summon. He was just a skull when first summoned but Purital soon became a powerful undead lord. There was also one crucial difference between Curio and Purital. Purital was an undead knight. He only remembered that he was a knight so his loyalty to Ark was absolute.
âYes, I should be able to restore some of my image if we visit Purital!â
âGenie, the next destination is Oberium the city of the undead!â
He asked the ghosts about Purital after arriving in Oberium.
Clack clack clack clack, clack clack clack clack!
A skeleton was sitting in a dark corner and snapping his teeth. Even without Curio there to interpret for him, he could understand Puritalâs words thanks to the master codeâŚ..
âHeh, yes. I am not like that. Anyway, Iâm a skeleton. Iâm only made of bones. It is natural to be abandoned by my Master. Huhuhu, an masterless knight is trash. So I am trash. Why does it matter if Iâm alive? Should I just die? Ah, Iâm an undead. Huhuhu, yes then Iâm undead trash.
âŚâŚThis was the content. According to the ghost king of Oberiumâs words.
âIt started when you hadnât summoned him for a month. Purital kept on repeated the same words over and over in that corner. The undead doctor said that he seems to have depression. Do you know? He might look like that but he has a delicate heart.
Even an undead can have a heartâŚâŚ
An undead having depression and other symptomsâŚâŚThere was nothing more to say.
âAh, Ark-nim?â
âN-not yet! There is still one more left! Genie, the Eastern Nationâs castle!â
Ark flew towards the Eastern Nationâs castle in Seutandal.
âOmo? Ark-nim?â
He heard a surprised voice once he arrived at the castle. It came from a beautiful woman with glistening black hair and pale skin. She was Isabel who was the head of the a.s.sa.s.sination group Dark Brother before they were renamed the Eastern Nation. In addition, Isabel was an NPC with an unusual history. She was married to Shambala, a user who was Arkâs rival, friend and one of the 7 heroes. No, the unusual thing was that an NPC was married to a user. Unlike Curio and Purital, Arkâs last summons had no residence so he left him with Isabel.
âItâs been a long time. How have you been?â
âThatâŚ..Shambala?â
âHe went out for a while. Did you come to meet Shambala-nim?â
âOf course not.â
Ark glanced at Fufu and Camel behind him and said.
âToday I came to see Burning Soul. Where is he?â
âI have him with me. Burning Soul!â
A green snake lifted from her waist after hearing Isabelâs words. This snake was the last of Arkâs summons, Burning Soul! Unlike his other summons, this snake was the one that Ark cherished the most. At first he thought it was a snake but Burning Soul was later revealed to be a Netherworld creature called the Alamone. Once he grew, he managed to transform into a dragon species called Pendragon. Burning Soul regarded Ark as his parent and had never disappointed Ark!âŚâŚAt least thatâs what he thoughtâŚ..
Burning Soul buried his head in Isabelâs chest as she carried him. He was already disappointed by Curio and Purital so he felt uneasy after seeing Burning Soulâs reaction. But as expected, Burning Soul was different from his other summons.
âGeez, why are you doing this? Take a look. Thatâs your dad. The dad youâve been waiting for.â
Burning Soul raised his head again at Isabelâs words. He started at Ark for a while before jumping towards him with tears streaming down. Ark and Fufu sighed with relief and Fufu clamoured.
âAh, what a poignant scene! If you saw glance at it, this snake seems like something that can eat someone. But this snake is actually Arkâs summon called Burning Soul! It is clear that there is a relationship closer than Master and pet between them!â
âThatâs right.â
Ark felt his burden fell thanks to Burning Soul and replied. Now was the same to save a little face. Ark felt better and started opening up.
âIt has been shown on public broadcast many times but after his last evolution, Burning Soul can transform into the legendary Pendragon. Genieâs spatial movement isnât bad but it is nothing compared to flying on Burning Soul.â
âOhh! Is it possible to see it once?â
âOf course.â
âAh! Ark-nim, wait a minute. Burning SoulâŚ..â
Isabel stuttered with a startled expression.
âBurning Soul, transform into Pendragon!â
But Ark had already placed Burning Soul down and shouted powerfully. AndâŚ..Burning Heart transformedâŚ..butâŚ.he was swollen like a big balloonâŚâŚ
âHe is too cute so I feed him every time I see himâŚâŚâ
Isabel blushed and muttered.
âAh, Ark-nim. That is Pendragon? Is it different from what weâve heard.â
âNo! It is right! This is Pendragon! Right! Burning Soul, fly!â
Ark got on Pendragon and screamed angrily. He indicated towards the sky and gave a command.
Ting-! Ting-! Ting-!
Burning Soul started running but couldnât get up in the air to fly. It was already too late to turn around.
âDonât turn around! Run! Run until weâre out of sight of the camera!â
Burning Soul ran across the garden but was soon caught by the garden walls.
âHohoho, how is it? Isnât he cute?â
Isabel laughed and asked Fufu and Camel. Then she clapped her hands and laughed.
âAh! Honey!â
Sprit flashed back in Fufu and Camelâs eyes and they raised their head.
âAmong the 7 heroes, there is one who caused a big topic by marrying the NPC Isabel. Shambala! Camel, aim your camera! Letâs get an interview with Shambala!â
Fufu turned around with a happy expression. She ran up to the masked Shambala and said.
âh.e.l.lo Shambhala-nim. We are Fufu and Camel from African TV. Can you do an interview for a while?â
âArk?â
Shambala stopped and looked at Burning Soul who was stuck at the wall. He looked back at Fufu and Camel before saying.
