The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 149: Becoming the public enemy of Serenity Village Part 1

After knocking the three men unconscious, Kayn immediately tied them up with a rope on a stone pillar considerably far away from the danger of magma.

He wants to know the exact reason why they are following them, and who exactly these people are.

Even though he has a rough idea of the answers to those questions, he'd rather confirm it from them personally.

Moreover, he is also suspecting something else.

As soon as he was finished, he grabbed a handful of water from the Springwater Source Bonsai and splash it on the face of the man to the left.

He plans to ask them one at a time so that they won't cooperate with each other to tell him false information.

"Ah!"

The man was instantly woken up. He begins looking around his surroundings and soon notices that his body is tied by a rope. As he looked up again, he finally notices the young man they'd been looking for crouching in front of him.

"You're probably smart enough to understand why I woke you up,"

"What do you want?!" The man responded loudly in hopes of waking up his comrades. But alas, it was futile.

"They won't wake up no matter how loud you shout, I covered their ears, you see," Kayn pointed at the ears of the two unconscious men.

"Impossible…" It's impossible to completely block off the hearing of a Hero. That's because their sense of hearing is far beyond the ordinary. Even if they don't hear a loud noise, they should be able to hear some noise, even just a little bit.

That was what the man was thinking inwardly.

Unfortunately, they were deep asleep, that's why they can't hear anything.

"I suggest that you stop wasting my time, and your stamina in senselessly shouting. If you don't, then I'll just throw you to that pit of magma over there and ask the others instead," Kayn glimpses at the magma pit not far away from them.

The man instantly gulped down a mouthful of saliva.

"Now you get it," Kayn smiles. "Let's start with the first question. I have no interest in finding who you are, but I want to know what group you belong to?"

"Bulldogs, that's the name of our party…"

"Where's Bulldogs' base?"

"Here, at Serenity Town,"

"Locals, I see… Then, why are you following me?"

"You are on to something, that's why,"

"Before that," Kayn doesn't believe that. He waved his hand, instantly taking out a dagger from his Storage Ring.

"The truth is, we can see riches on you and your party from the moment you arrived. So, we thought of trying something out to get a share of it. But we never expected that you were actually on to something, something that would definitely be helpful in finding the Molten Magma Core. That's what we want,"

"I see," Kayn stood up. "I thought that you were part of the Assembly of Freedom,"

"That's absurd! None of our members are part of the Assembly of Freedom! We hate those guys!"

"I believe you,"

In the next moment, Kayn swiftly turned around and hit the back of the man's head, instantly making him fall unconscious once again.

After making sure that the man is deep asleep, Kayn repeated the same thing with the man in the middle.

He asked him a similar question, with some slight variation, and when he finally got what he needed, he sent the man unconscious once again and did the same thing to the third man.

In the end, the information he got wasn't too far out from what he was assuming back then.

He felt kinda disappointed. Honestly, he was hoping to get something helpful or a piece of information that would be able to make him feel at ease. Like for example, information about the presence of members of the Assembly of Freedom in the Peaceful Volcano.

Needless to say, he wasn't wishing that they'd be here. If that truly happens, he would start suspecting that they knew about the treasure he is looking for in 'The Bridge'.

Since there was nothing worth his time anymore, Kayn left the three unconscious men alone and proceeded to return from the path he came from. He intends on meeting up with Natas and looking for the Molten Magma Core together with the latter.

Fortunately, he didn't meet any of the companions of the three men along the way.

He went to the side of the magma waterfall and sneak right into another one as quickly as possible so that no one can spot him this time.

In the process of looking for Natas, he made sure to clean his tracks so that those people following after him won't be able to locate where exactly he is after they find those three unconscious men.

As time goes by and the deeper Kayn walked, he started to feel an increase in the temperature level in his surrounding. The heat steadily became unbearable for his body to handle.

Luckily for him, his Molten Ice Sword has an Active Skill called <<Hot and Cold>> which surrounds the user with a hot and cold barrier that resists 50% of both ice and fire element attacks. Although it doesn't last very long and the cooldown for each use is 240 seconds, a good four minutes, it still helps him slightly cope with the intense heat nonetheless.

After some time, he finally reached what seems to be the center of the Peaceful Volcano.

As he exited the tunnel, he was instantly greeted by a huge open area that seems to look like a magma lake.

There were multiple pillars, magma waterfalls, and floating land masses slowly moving around the body of the magma lake.

Kayn quickly started to survey the area to look for Natas.

To his surprise, he soon found Natas running towards him as swiftly as possible.

"Hide!" Natas exclaimed as he saw Kayn in front of him.

Realizing that something is wrong, Kayn immediately hid behind a huge rock as he waited for Natas to come.

It didn't take long for Natas to arrive.

"What's wrong?"

"There's a Monster guarding the Molten Magma Core,"

"How?" He has never spotted a single Monster ever since he entered the Peaceful Volcano. So, it's somewhat hard to believe that there is one guarding the Molten Magma Core.

It wasn't actually impossible, just that it was highly unlikely.
