Although he could not see the faces of the two people, he could feel the gloomy gazes from them.
However, he still did not take care of them.
Using the power of his tree, he picked up the two cards that had fallen far away from him.
He could sense their existence because the monsters inside them were connected to him.
A small tree branch sent the two cards back to him.
He put them back into his pants pocket before looking at the two robbers.
"Well, now what do I need to do with you?" he said, then picked up the rings on each of their fingers which were of course their Storage Artifacts.
Peering into each of the rings, he was immediately dumbfounded.
The space inside them was vast, almost as large as a football field.
Of course, the most surprising thing was the items inside them.
Aldric saw that there were at least 80 Level 10 Monster Cores and countless Monster Cores with lower levels as well as a pile of coins that amounted to more than 500,000 Coins.
This did not include other items that Aldric did not know about.
As robbers, they certainly had a lot of treasures.
"Are there other robbers like you?" Aldric couldn't help but ask.
This gave him so much treasure, he was too happy that he wanted to be robbed again.
The two people seemed to want to cry at his question.
"A-are you a Senior Magician?" asked the Dead Fish wearing a black mask.
He couldn't believe he was so helpless. Only a Senior Magician could do this to him.
"Can't you see?" replied Aldric.
His aura clearly showed the aura of a 10th Stage Junior Magician. How could he be a Senior Magician.
When one became a Senior Magician, their aura was completely different.
Aldric also didn't know what their auras looked like because he had never seen them.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The other players who were watching from afar finally showed themselves.
They were surprised by Aldric's strength, and naturally wanted to see these two robbers after losing.
In the state where they were under siege, they also couldn't log out of the game, so they were practically unable to escape.
Players can only log out when they are in a state of no danger.
Forcing yourself to log out while in danger has the same consequences as death.
In this game, when you die, your character will actually die, and you can only start over again.
In most cases, starting all over again will result in coming up with a worse talent.
"Bro, quickly unmask them." One of the players shouted.
"Well, they've already robbed too many people, we need to teach them a lesson." The other added.
When they heard that, the two people instantly grabbed their masks.
Naturally, they panicked.
The grudge in this game could carry over to the real world if it was too big.
The problem was that in the real world they were just cowardly neets despite being in their 30s.
If some people came to their house, they could only cry.
"My brother, we can serve you, but don't take off our masks." The Dead Fish said, full of panic.
He even shamelessly called Aldric his brother.
"That's right my brother, if our faces are revealed, this will harm us while we haven't committed any crimes. Robbing in this game is just part of the game. It doesn't hurt anyone." The Demon Horse added.
They spoke fluently, but too quickly which practically only signaled how frightened they were.
Anyone would actually be worried if the conflict involved the real world.
Even Aldric understood this well.
However, while he was quite innocent, he was not someone who easily forgave enemies.
The people in the village just lacked understanding in the world, but if we talk about conflict, they still had a latent barbarian nature.
That was why from the moment the battle started, Aldric responded so easily even though it was his first time fighting with humans in this game world.
This was because in the real world, in his village, he had fought too many times.
Teaching a hard lesson to a defeated enemy was not something he had never done.
"Bro, don't listen to them, they deserve a lesson." The other players seemed to hate them too much.
They kept asking Aldric to remove their masks.
"You won't succeed. We're just ordinary people in the real world, it doesn't matter if we lose our characters. Before you take off our masks, we will forcefully log out." The Demon Horse said, instantly making the other players fall silent.
They were apparently so afraid of their identities being exposed that they would rather sacrifice their characters. If that was the case, Aldric would get practically nothing from them other than taking all their treasures.
"All of you, get out of here!"
Aldric couldn't focus on thinking with so many people shouting and staring at him, so he asked them to leave first.
He would take care of these two robbers himself.
Hearing his words, the players became disappointed.
However, remembering his strength, they had no other choice but to leave.
Despite seeing his face, they didn't think they could come into conflict with him in the real world because he had a tall body and a strong-looking physique.
Fighting with him in the real world was practically just seeking death.
The two robbers became calmer when the other players left.
"My brother, we were wrong, please forgive us. We can give you compensation as an apology. Now our treasure is with you, so you can ask us to do anything," said the Demon Horse.
If he could still retain his character, it would naturally prefer to keep him.
"What if I record and remove your robes?" asked Aldric in response.
He thought of using their help to ambush the prince, but in order to keep them bound, he needed something to threaten them with.
Recording their faces was certainly the most effective way.
If they tried to betray him, he would expose their identities.
Hearing his question, they fell silent, unable to say anything.
Aldric had actually started recording using the game system.
He controlled the two tree branches, grabbing their masks.
Of course, he didn't need their consent.
If they still objected, they would just have to log out by force.
However, they seemed to have given up.
Aldric easily removed their masks, revealing their faces that looked like people who had never seen the sun.
Just by looking at their faces, he finally knew why they were so afraid of having their faces revealed.
Anyone could instantly tell that they were the kind of men who were easily bullied.
Even though they were in their 30s, even high school students dared to bully them.
"Ehmmm... Ehmmm..." The two cleared their throats awkwardly, turning their gazes in various directions.
Although he often fights, Aldric is not a bully.
He didn't show any special expression when he saw them.
He even threw a potion in a small bottle to each of them.
"Recover yourselves and follow me immediately," he said.
Of course, the potion was from their Storage Artifact.
He was not sure what the potions were, yet they also had an extraordinary aura of life.
They even made him suspect that they actually contained several liters of solidified Honey of Life.
As far as he knew, the Honey of Life could produce better effects after being turned into a potion with the addition of some ingredients.
The two immediately drank the potion and the effect turned their bodies green for a while.
Their recovery happened in no time.
Within a few seconds, they were finally able to stand up.
"Tell us your name or nickname?" Aldric asked them after they stood up.
"I'm the Demon Horse!"
"I'm Dead Fish!"
Both answered simultaneously, looking very obedient.
Their cowardly souls were fully awakened now.
Hearing their nicknames, Aldric wanted to roll his eyes, making him wonder what was wrong with their brains.
"B-boss, we'll follow you," the Dead Fish said after saying his name.
He started calling Aldric boss.
It was probably the most appropriate nickname for him given their current status.
Without saying anything, Aldric took a step while asking them to follow him.
They followed him with wry smiles, sometimes still looking worried.
When they followed him, they put on their masks again.
Perhaps they were too worried about anyone seeing them.
Occasionally they looked at each other, as if wondering where Aldric would take them since they were not returning to the city.
Of course, it would not be a good thing to follow him into the city now.
The other players could guess their identities if they followed Aldric.
(Eliot: Dark Crow!)
Suddenly, Aldric received a message from Eliot. The man was apparently back online.
(Dark Crow: What's wrong?)
(Eliot: Did you just defeat two famous robbers in White Wind City? Some players were talking about it and they made a painting of you. I didn't expect you to become so powerful in one day. You seem to have awakened an extraordinary talent.)
Reading the message, Aldric couldn't help but knit his brows.
(Yeah, I seem to have good luck in this game even though I don't really understand it.)
(That's great. By the way, I heard that there were some players who went to the city lord's residence to tell the city lord that you had defeated those two robbers. You may not know, they once stole a very valuable treasure from the city lord's residence, therefore, the city lord is eager to capture them. If they are with you, the city lord will definitely look for you. Although he rarely appears, the city lord is a Senior Magician. He is very powerful, it would be problematic if you had problems with him before becoming a Senior Magician.)
Aldric read the message carefully before looking at the two men again.
"What did you guys steal from the city lord's residence?" he asked.
There were too many unknown objects in their Storage Artifacts.
He could not even guess which ones were valuables and which ones were not. Naturally, he could not tell what objects they had stolen.
Hearing his question, they couldn't help but be stunned, not expecting him to know that.
However, then they looked at each other with unsure expressions.
"What's wrong?" asked Aldric.
"Mmm!!!" The Demon Horse scratched his long hair.
"I kind of forgot, it seems that what we stole was heart-like, made of very hard wood, but we didn't find the magic of that thing. We then forgot about it," he said.
"Something heart-like?" Aldric didn't think they remembered much.
He observed their Storage Artifact silently.
With so many things inside, it took him quite a while before he found the one they said it was.
Fortunately, it really existed.
An instant later, it appeared in his hand, something that indeed looked like a heart but was made of wood, very hard and cold and very heavy.
It was heavy enough to surprise Aldric because with his strength, he needed power to lift it.
"What is this?" He wondered.
It looked so ordinary that he doubted it was a special treasure.
Why was the city lord looking for it?
'Or is this a treasure that needs a catalyst to activate?'
He didn't think the city lord was looking for that thing if there was no secret.
As far as he knew, in this world there were many treasures that were in a dormant state and needed a catalyst to activate them.
Such treasures were from a distant ancient era, said to be more powerful than treasures of later eras.
What was the catalyst?
Aldric couldn't guess, but he released the aura of his white body, the green aura of the Forest of Life, and the aura of the Nine Star Wheel of Life that emitted a bright aura with stars in it.
Each aura was unique, giving off a mysterious flavor.
Together, they enveloped the wooden heart.
The auras of one SSS Class Body, SSS Class Wheel of Life, as well as the SS Class Wheel of Life.
Aldric was not sure there was anything better than those three auras to use as a catalyst to activate the dormant artifact.
The two men just watched in silence while observing the three auras they saw with curiosity.
Fighting Aldric personally, feeling his power easily oppressing them, they were naturally filled with question marks about his strength.
Unfortunately, just observing like this did not make them understand anything.
However, then they were astonished, including Aldric himself.
The three auras suddenly disappeared. They did not disappear because Aldric's aura made them disappear, but because they were absorbed into the wooden heart at high speed.
"They are absorbed, haven't we sent out a lot of aura but it was never absorbed by this heart," said the Demon Horse.
The Dead Fish did not blink anymore, continuing to stare at the wooden heart.
At this point, he knew that something amazing was about to happen.
