The Player's System

Rude

Albert and Sashi entered in the inner side of the mansion. Sashi killed personal guard of the elder standing alert. They barged in like the storm. The elder was shocked. He thought that perhaps finally the king ordered to kill him too.

His eyes fell at Albert and his particular dressing. He was more than shocked now thinking how they were able to reach him. Sashi walked around to check more guards.

Junan entered with big sword Jake followed behind. Orin was responsible to force the elder blurt out secrets so he also entered inside the mansion.

Orin was speechless to see the elder. He was not some oldie old. However the fear pasted on his face was questionable. His grim look mature face was full of worry. His sword was placed at the said of the sofa. Perhaps he was already up to something.

Seeing runners entering in the mansion nailed him on the sofa. Albert did not waste single moment and pointed spear on his neck. He was ready to pick his sword and battle. "The fear on your face is enough to tell your fate is nearing you. If I am not wrong you will be killed sooner or later." Junan spoke with the threatening tone.

He was team head and the master of the strongest guild in the 'Sovereign Rulers' just from the expressions of the elder he could tell that the elder was facing life threat.

The elder looked at him as if looking at the hidden master of the Empire. Only he could be accurate in his predictions. "How did not killed so many guards?" The elder was still unsure how they reached in his personal living.

"Not just the guards we have killed so many security men that they counting might paralyze the fingers." Junan glared looked in the eyes of the elder.

He was sure that the living clues were vulnerable. The elder turned face away. "Duke is my old friend he would not kill me." This means he was not ready to listen these Runners. Junan gestured Orin to step ahead and slap. Orin was slightly worried seeing mature built elder.

He stiffened his heart and slapped really stronger. "You will tell us about Ashmorn and the path of the Flame Tower. Your puny friend and his king both are going to kill all those who are worry for them. We Runners are going to defeat the king and you will see if you remained alive. The only way for you to save your breaths is to spat out everything we ask." Orin slapped once again.

His profession was to seek paths for the tasks through book of detection however the book of detection was not working. Here this elder was also acting stubborn. Orin could no more hold it for the sake of the second level.

For a player levels were meant equal of their growth, their hard earned positions. He could not let a simple npc to stop him at some point. Junan looked his expressions. The elder winced but could not stand up or move because the spear was sticking in his neck.

"If you can bring me out of the mansion then I can relate." The elder finally decided. He was strictly ordered to remain in the mansion and the reason was no more secret. If he fled from the mansion the Duke would be scolded and perhaps killed by the king.

Everyone was worried for his own life. He knew very well that the Duke would forget year long friendship for his life. "The Ashmorn of the Empire is under danger. She summoned the Arena Runners for her help. According to the hidden secret of the Empire the Ashmorn spread her six tears in the six towers before King confined her in the Orlenia Palace. If Runners succeeded in collecting them along with the Crimson Ruby they could defeat the king or kill him before he complete rituals." The elder spoke in low tone.

He knew that he would be killed for exposing the secret however there was no reason to hold it back anymore. He would be killed in otherwise too. The elder made this deal with the runners so that he could leave the mansion.

If he could leave it then the chances were fair to save the life. Junan rose up his brows. Now the complex things were clear for them. They came to know the root of evils.

"The young Ashmorn has yet to reach the peak of her powers however the king wanted to sacrifice her to get rid his curse. I know the path toward the Flame tower but I will only guide if you save my life from Duke." The elder happened to trust them. Knowing that they were able to cross big hurdles he was confident that they could save his life.

Team head did not mind this deal in his eyes the elder was more trustable for the path toward the Flame Tower rather than slave.

Clark and Ahram saw the guards on patrol. They were sent to bring the elder in the main hall of the mansion. "Guards are already here." Ahram entered and informed. They are coming toward the door of the personal living of the elder. Should we battle?" he asked team head.

Junan looked at the elder. The elder stood up with worry. "He decided to kill me." Sweat poured on his forehead. "We will escape before they see the entrance too." Junan nodded and ordered. They circled elder and brought toward the broken gate of the entrance.

They did not want to get the attention of the guards. "They are in number." Clark immediately informed. The first troop was small however they came to forcefully bring the elder in front of Duke. The first troop saw the open door and ran toward the entrance to inform the guards however he saw the Runners leaving with the elder.

The elder got terrified seeing the first troop. Team head ordered Jake to kill the small number in hurry.. It turned out wrong.
