The village quest was significantly important to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even that slipped through his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought.If even the Lewis Guild couldn’t tame him, how shameful for me to believe I can make him my puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was even more certain of his assumptions after he saw Max’s hostile aura was directed at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His shoulder dropped low as he turned around and left in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought Max would stop him, but it turned out, after he left by climbing to the roof where they entered, Max had not spoken a single word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Max was assured, he had secured the village quest, he completely neglected Jaden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disparity between them was quite high. Max wouldn’t even be surprised that Jaden was only rewarded with a single skill—Arcane Bolt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must have failed to gain a perfect evaluation from Archmage Arlen to be rewarded with the same rewards as Max.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max, on the other hand, ruminated deeply on what it meant to be at war with the Lewis Family inside Apocalypse Online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lewis Family was wealthy, no doubt. When a player has a war against them, it wouldn’t always be good for the player, especially when the wealthy Lewis’ son would put a bounty on the said player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max mumbled, \"I wonder, how much I’m worth? I would feel better if it’s higher than my parents accumulated debt to that loan shark.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chuckled. He shook his head and decided to return to Archmage Arlen to give the material dropped by the demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Archmage Arlen was currently teaching inside the Instruction Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the door was knocked, Archmage Arlen instantly had an idea of who it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply turned silent and said, \"Come in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to politely knock now. Last time, he just opened the door, which greatly startled Archmage Arlen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was scolded, as a result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Archmage Arlen suddenly walked towards him and said, \"We’ll talk outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max nodded and paved the way for Archmage Arlen to leave the door as he closed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Max were now talking in the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Archmage Arlen asked, \"How about it? Did you get rid of the pact?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max nodded. \"Yes. The demon, as expected, manifested. I killed him and got this from him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max took out the Infernal Binding Core and gave it to Archmage Arlen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Archmage Arlen’s eyes widened. After he accepted it, he scrutinized it closer and said, \"This is quite a high-quality infernal demon core. I didn’t expect this from a Rank F Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You don’t have any uses for it anyway. I’ll buy it from you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max raised his index finger and smiled innocently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Archmage Arlen was taken aback. \"One silver coin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max rolled his eyes. \"One.Gold.Coin.\" He stressed the second word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Archmage Arlen rolled his eyes. \"Don’t push your luck. 50 Silver Coins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max extended his hand, asking for a handshake, as he immediately said, \"Deal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Archmage Arlen was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He unwillingly took out a pouch of silver coins from his pocket, having exactly 50 pieces of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at Max, who accepted it with an elated face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy... He knows that a Common rank item like this is only 20 silver coins and less but baited me to buy it for 50 silver coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shrugged as Max caressed the pouch like a money-grubbing merchant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever. I just have to make a rune that is worth ten times more than it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned towards Max and said, \"Anyway, the mission is not done yet. The lingering demonic mana is still affecting other citizens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go to Sister Elira Dawnwell and lead her to cleanse the three corruption nodes you have discovered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around and, for some reason, recalled the wise archer’s story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed.His wife must have been corrupted by the demonic energy. As for his daughter dying from a disease... Perhaps, demonic energy is involved with it, too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have to avenge him, at least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Max wouldn’t know if avenging the wise archer would do any good to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wise archer had already found peace, peace in his job, peace that he found within himself after having been swallowed by darkness once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Max left the Arcane Cottage to proceed to the Support Sanctum, where Sister Elira could be found, he finally concluded about the wise archer’s circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought.I guess, I don’t have to tell him about it. I just have to make sure that it won’t happen again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Max proceeded to the Support Sanctum, he slowly came to the conclusion that at a certain point in his life, getting rid of the demon to avenge the NPC would provide satisfaction to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it would turn out to be useless since the world inside Apocalypse Online was just a recorded story in the past...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>===\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A\u002FN: Thanks for reading!
