Chapter 128 Caribbean (1)
Caribbean.
A city of criminals and a bridgehead to pirate-infested waters, this place was very infamous among users.
– If you really think that you are at the bottom of your life, go to Caribbean. It’s a real opening.
-Don’t trust anyone here because there’s only a swindler or a thief who eats his back.
– Ha ha ha ha ha ha. I received the item delivery quest and brought it to you, but it died. is this a game?
-?? why did you die
– One of the organizations competing with each other gave me a quest with every member of the other organization and sent it instead;
-Wow….. Rho? Is this a crazy town?
A city where dozens of people are killed on the streets every day due to war between cartels and gangs. The first thing that welcomed Jae-young, who arrived at a place like Sodom and Gomorrah where only the worst of the worst of human beings are gathered, was a warning message.
[You have entered the city of criminals, the Caribbean.]
[This is an area that is not protected by the Continental Law.]
[Beware of threats lurking in the city.]
Unlike other places, there are no NPCs for security such as guards. A city full of unknown fugitives and criminals. A place where there are no laws and regulations, only strength and survival matter.
This was truly a world of survival of the fittest.
“Ummm… It smells awful.”
“of course. All the people living in this area are evil, and this is a place where only such people live. As far as I know, every soul who died here will come over to us?”
Perhaps because it is a city full of criminals, Caribbean’s basic urban functions were not functioning properly. A city that takes the form of a slum full of filth and the smell of a gutter. Jaeyoung frowned and was walking down an alley when a stone suddenly fell in front of him.
Took.
“…?”
Jaeyoung inadvertently looked back in the direction the stone flew. Jaeyoung turned his head and saw a child with his head sticking out against the wall, hurriedly waving his hands.
“mister! It’s dangerous to go like that! Come over here and hide!”
A young boy who looks a little over 10 years old just by looking at him. He looked around the extension with a very frightened face and beckoned Jaeyoung to come here quickly. Jaeyoung pondered for a moment while watching it. However, he had no choice but to run hastily in the direction the child beckoned at the sound of chatter coming from the alley right in front of him.
“Ha ha ha ha! If you do this well, you can sort everything out, right?”
“Hey, if you get loot from this raid, don’t forget to pay back the money you borrowed from me.”
“Ai…… who told you not to worry?”
As soon as Jaeyoung hid himself, a group of bullies appeared, looking fierce at first glance. The child, who had been holding her breath with nervous eyes until they passed the alley, let out a deep sigh of relief long after they had passed.
“Whew….. Fortunately, it didn’t get caught.”
“For what?”
Jae-young couldn’t understand the child’s behavior. At his question, the child frowned and said.
“mister! Do you know what you just did? You could have been in big trouble!”
Jaeyoung tilts his head with an expression that he cannot understand. At his reaction, the child sighed deeply and explained the situation that had just occurred.
“So… in this city, there is a war between criminal organizations and fierce power struggles, and if someone who is not a member of the organization wanders around in each district, he is mistaken for an spy sent by another organization and is immediately killed… This hey?”
“Yes! That’s not the problem, but if I was caught here, I and the people in this alley were all considered the opponent’s puppets, so I didn’t know what would happen to me! Why don’t you know these basic things? Are you a foreigner?”
Hans, a 10-year-old boy who is frustrated even though he explains as if he is saying a very obvious fact. In response to his question, Jaeyoung nodded and said yes.
“that’s right. I didn’t know because I had just arrived in this city. I’m sorry if I caused any damage.”
“Eh…? Are you really from outside?”
Hans opens his eyes wide at the word that he has come from outside and asks various things. After answering the questions one by one, Hans smiled and asked in a friendly manner, as if he had completely forgotten the dangerous situation from before, with his eyes sparkling with curiosity.
“wow! amazing! I was born here and have never left! That’s really cool.”
Hans at a young age full of dreams. However, since he had never left the Caribbean, which was filled with the smell of gutter and all kinds of stench, the stories of the outside world that Jae-young told were like fairy tales that existed in fantasy.
“By the way… why the hell did you come here? It’s dangerous in normal times, but it’s especially dangerous right now?”
A power struggle between criminal organizations currently taking place in the Caribbean. In particular, it was a time when the conflict between the huge forces ‘Red Beard’ and ‘Black Pirates’ was intensifying, so there was no one in the Caribbean who would welcome the appearance of an outsider.
“I came here to cross the sea.”
“yes….?”
The Caribbean, a city of criminals and a realm of pirates.
An atrocious lawless zone where there is a popular belief that no merchant ship or fleet to wipe out pirates escaped safely. However, there was a different reason why Jaeyoung chose this place.
[Mission. 5]
A request from the World Tree to bring the dragon’s heart. But targeting Goldrian, the guardian of Arcadia and the leader of the mighty dragons, would be too daunting, right? Do not worry! It is said that dragons live somewhere on other continents. The world tree doesn’t care which continent the owner of the heart is from, so let’s go find it.
-Discover the other continents of Arcadia.
< The contents of the mission may change depending on the player's actions. >
The fourth mission was finally completed when the peace agreement between the elves and the dwarves was concluded and the pie tops secured the trade route between the two races. However, as soon as it was over, the newly renewed mission made Jae-young head to the Caribbean as if he had waited.
“Another continent? Um… Realistically, it would be impossible for the owner to go, right?”
“Well… Wait a minute, I’ll have to check this out too.”
The Great War that took place in the very long past. As a result, the world tree fell asleep and the continents were separated and scattered. A long time passed and no one even remembered that history, so Tan and L also couldn’t give an answer to Jae-young’s question with a troubled face.
After such a long time passed, Tan gave me a clue.
“I’m not sure who the owner is, but a devil is a Caribbean? You want to go there?”
“Caribbean…? Aren’t there five major forbidden areas?”
“I don’t know. Even the devil didn’t seem to understand that he had heard the story when he was summoned a couple of decades ago. Go check it out for yourself.”
Tan draws a line and shakes his hand, saying that it is not certain information. However, Jae-young, who had already searched the Internet and Arpandia diligently, confirmed that there was no known way to cross over to another continent and no one had attempted a journey to another continent, so he had no other option. I could feel it instinctively.
‘If you look at Shurim and Amil, it seems that there is something in the Caribbean…’
5 prohibited areas selected by users and officially recognized by Arcadia. However, as the hidden cities of dwarves and elves were discovered in those two places, Jaeyoung was convinced. These five forbidden places are places where the developers deliberately set the level of extreme difficulty so that users do not carelessly stimulate triggers that should not be touched yet.
And Jaeyoung’s prediction was right on target.
“Are you crossing the sea?”
Hans raised his eyes in surprise and asked back. He asked with a confused look on his face, as if he couldn’t understand.
“Why on earth are you trying to cross that dangerous place? In the first place, it is close to impossible to escape safely from the infested pirates, but even if you enter the endless sea, you will only die from the attacks of the deep sea monsters!”
Although there is no maritime trade or movement using ships, Arcadia has active land movement. That’s why, to Hans, Jaeyoung’s action to cross the dangerous sea was nothing short of absurd.
“It’s for personal reasons, so I can’t tell you in detail… Anyway, is it possible?”
At those words, Hans murmured while seriously contemplating something. However, he shook his head with a dark face and said.
“Sorry, but that is absolutely impossible. There is one person who crossed the sea and entered the endless sea and came back alive, but that person would not speak to anyone unless he was of the same level as himself.”
Hans said that there were people who crossed the sea and were resurrected. At those words, Jaeyoung asked with her eyes shining.
“what? Who is that?”
“Don’t you know? Pirate King Carlos! He is the founder of the Black Pirates and a legendary figure who completely dominated the waters of the Caribbean. He is a criminal who has gained great notoriety throughout the continent beyond the Caribbean…”
Hans looks at Jae-young, who is completely unaware of it. But Jaeyoung wasn’t listening to him.
‘Pirate King…..’
Words full of smell that lead to a chain quest even if you hear it. Jaeyoung, who had a rough idea of how to cross the continent from Hans’ words, jumped up from his seat and asked.
“Where can I meet that Carlos?”
“yes….? Are you meeting me?”
Hans put on an expression of absurdity at those words. He looked at Jaeyoung and started explaining again hesitatingly as if he was frustrated.
“No, you just told me. Carlos is imprisoned somewhere in a dungeon after being defeated by the allied organizations after failing to subdue the rebellion that took place a few years ago? Right now, even if I want to meet you, I can’t.”
Carlos, the Pirate King, who had a mighty power as the undisputed ruler of the Caribbean. However, like other pirates, he dominated other forces with strong power-based suppression and oppression, so he was imprisoned as a prisoner because he could not suppress the coup d’état caused by the reaction against him.
“Besides, no matter how he gets to the prison where he is imprisoned, he will not meet anyone unless he is of his own class! How notorious was he for not treating other pirate captains as human beings if they were not in the right ranks? Even if you meet Carlos right now, it’s probably a relief if you don’t get treated like an insect.”
Carlos, the captain of the Black Pirates, who once dominated the Caribbean and terrorized merchant ships passing through the entire sea and nearby areas. It was hard to find a criminal even here in the Caribbean that could match the huge notoriety he had accumulated so far, so the number of criminals on an equal footing with him could be counted on one hand. “At first glance, you seem like a naive man
who couldn’t have killed a single person, but it would be better if you don’t work too hard on the impossible and leave this place right now…” [Equipped with the title ‘Novice Killer’.
]
She didn’t say anything at Hans’ nagging and wore the title she hadn’t worn before. And at that moment, the mouth of Hans, who had been talking nonstop, closed for the first time.
“Uh, how…”
Hans looked at Jaeyoung standing in front of him with a look of terror. The presence that had seemed naive and intimate until just now felt completely different.
The smell of blood that pierces your nose.
It feels like I’ve killed countless people with blood on my hands. And not just killing people, but madness that can only be felt from lunatic killers who enjoy such slaughter.
Hans groaned as he felt the intimidation he felt from Jae-young, one of the most notorious crime masters in the Caribbean. And at the moment when Hans felt a fright, the existence that gave him a sense of fear was looking at Hans with eyes mixed with anticipation and asking.
“how is it? Wouldn’t this be enough to meet you casually?”
Jae-young, who slaughtered more than 30,000 novices. The criminal history he has accumulated so far was a gigantic and vicious feat that no heinous criminal in the Caribbean dared to show his name.
