Guilds Golden Crown and Black Arrow explored the forest at a steady pace. They weren't hurrying because they had reserved this area. They made deals with other Guilds.
Other Guilds also have their own area, but some aren't part of the deal.
Like League of Assassins.
But, not many Guilds are willing to butt heads with two of Top Guilds. That's why they can calmly explore without any interruptions.
Isaac looked around the forest, it was still dark, but it had a different kind of charm. The birds chirped above the trees, giving quite a mysterious vibe to the forest.
Even though they explored calmly, they didn't do it carefreely.
They had scouts going ahead, and many Guild members were ready for battle.
League of Assassins proved that there might be other Guilds with ill intentions.
Darth appeared next to Isaac and whispered, ''This will be a training session for our Guild, so some people might be in a serious mood.''
''Training?'' Isaac looked at him with a questioning gaze.
''Heard about the Dungeon in the Beast Forest?''
Isaac nodded.
Darth smiled, ''That is actually Duo Dungeon.''
''Duo?''
Darth nodded and pointed towards his guild members, ''See, most of them are paired with someone.''
Isaac looked at others, and what Darth said was true.
He didn't take notice of it before, but everyone was indeed walking with pairs.
''They are training their teamwork for Dungeon. After this exploration, our Guild will try out the Duo Dungeon. Our levels are already reaching acceptable levels, and who knows... Some of us might be over level 25 after this exploration is over.''
Isaac nodded, 'Duo Dungeon... Shame, I don't have anyone to play with.' He felt disappointed, but nothing he could do about it.
''Guild Master will do the Duo Dungeon with King Jonathan. It is small cooperation between our Guilds.'' Darth mentioned.
Isaac took a deep breath, ''They both are strong.''
Darth nodded, ''Indeed, they will most likely complete it, but everyone is aiming for the First Clear.''
''Is it really that important?'' Isaac asked. He got the First Clear, and the rewards were great, but it feels slightly overhyped, but he was thinking that maybe others knew about the importance more than he did.
''First Clear is great to build up the reputation of Guilds, but... It also has secret rewards. Apparently, in the beta testing, there were few test Dungeons, and all the Beta Testers were desperate to be the first one to complete it.''
''I see...'' Isaac became thoughtful, but then Darth elbowed his waist.
''Do you have a Duo?'' He asked curiously.
Isaac wryly smiled and shook his head, ''I am a solo player.''
''Do you want to be my Duo?'' Darth asked.
''Yours?!'' Isaac exclaimed, ''But your level is above 20! You could get much better Duo.''
Darth chuckled and rubbed his chin, ''I think your expertise is needed...''
''My expertise?'' Isaac tilted his head.
Darth grinned and looked him in the eye, ''Mister First Clear.''
Isaac widened his eyes in shock, ''How did you know?!''
Darth roared in laughter. He ruffled Isaac's hair and said, ''One of Black Arrow members talked about some guy called Wraith getting First Clear, I happened to overhear it.''
''Ah.'' Isaac awkwardly scratched his head.
''Who knows, the Dungeon could be similar with yours, it has a small chance, but we could try it out.'' Darth put his hand for a handshake, ''Well, what do you say?''
Isaac looked at the hand. He took a deep breath and grabbed the hand, ''Alright.''
''Nice!'' Darth cheered, ''I will get HP Potions. Those are probably needed.''
Isaac then pondered about one thing...
''Do you know where I can sell items?'' Isaac asked.
Darth raised an eyebrow, ''You don't know?''
''I know... But I am kind of...'' Isaac scratched his cheek, ''I am kind of banned from every Merchant Store.''
Darth blinked blankly until he roared in laughter, ''HAHAHAHA! How the hell you managed to achieve that?!''
Isaac sighed, ''I entered the wrong Merchant Store...''
''Let me guess... Laurent?'' Darth grinned.
Isaac sighed and nodded, ''That shithead tried to scam me.''
''Yeah, few of my Guild members were victims of his scamming.'' Darth sighed, ''Well... You can try selling in City Square.''
Isaac looked conflicted, ''My items might be... A little bit too eye-catching.''
''Oho.'' Darth looked surprised, ''Well, you can sell for our Guild.''
''You guys are buying items? Why?''
''Same reason as Merchant Stores. You can make weapons and extremely good armor from the items. Also, the items are needed for Poison Master, Potion Master, and Trap Master classes. We have a few of them in our Guild, and they need a lot of items.''
Isaac heard again something new. He hasn't concentrated much on finding things about Support classes since he is mostly focused on his class, and finding weaknesses in the classes he deems dangerous.
He has completely ignored the Master classes since they are mostly for Support.
''By the way. What was the explosion arrow thingy.'' Isaac asked curiously.
Darth grinned and took an arrow from his quiver. The arrow was black-colored with some kind of white line on the middle.
''This was made by our Trap Master. That name is very misleading, that class is pretty much Crafter, and he managed to make an explosive arrow!''
Isaac looked amazed, ''That's amazing!''
Darth proudly nodded, ''That's right!''
''Maybe other classes have some special skills too?'' Isaac asked with great excitement.
''Probably, but it will probably take a quite long time before anything groundbreaking is found.''
Isaac nodded and started thinking about countless possibilities.
''Maybe...'' He murmured. Darth perked up his ears and looked at him.
''Maybe Poison Master can work together with Trap Master to make a poison arrow?'' Isaac looked at Darth and soon saw his face turning into shock.
''That's a brilliant idea! How the fuck did we not think about it?!'' Darth quickly started messaging with his Trap Master and Potion Master.
While Darth was busy, Isaac was daydreaming about countless possibilities.
There were endless possibilities!
Isaac felt like he genuinely started seeing just how far they indeed are from the peak.
Maybe a few years later, they look back and think how innocent and clueless they were.
