Number one, do not feel guilty about your actions. It's all allowed, no matter what you do. Murder, robbery... Number two, do not betray.  If you do, they'll follow you all the way to hell and punish you. Number three, obey the orders of their leader, Kayal, without question. In that place, he's practically a king. Yeah, the very person you read about in the book. ### Step 2 - **Reward**: They said that I looked like an easy target and called me a country bumpkin. If I had stayed there any longer, I might have been killed the next day. ### Step 3 - **Objective**: What kind of town is it? - **Summary**: Haha, you're a vigorous friend, really. Muiquun, you see, it's the den of outlaws. Rather than punishing criminals, it encourages them! Isn't that strange? The atmosphere of the town is odd too. Do you know what the people there said when I first visited? ### Step 4 - **Objective**: And? What happened? - **Summary**: Becoming vicious, Kayal couldn't comprehend the king's sincerity. Instead, he attacked the Aalans with his sword, causing harm. As a result, Kayal was imprisoned in Pila Ku Jail... And he managed to escape with his right-hand man, Bertod. ### Step 5 - **Reward**: So the king sent Aalans to recite Aal's scripture to help him regain his sanity. However... ### Step 6 - **Objective**: What happened next? - **Summary**: Kayal was shocked by the fact that he had been manipulated as a means of power. This led to his becoming vicious. It was so serious that King Sahazad personally issued a warning... ### Step 7 - **Reward**: They said that King Sahazad's fondness for Kayal was merely a means to restrain Prince Barhan. ### Step 8 - **Objective**: Did Prince Barhan's plan succeed? - **Summary**: Yes. Barhan's plan worked perfectly. Kayal, who had lived under pressure all his life, obediently following orders, fell into debauchery. His once-strong spirit dulled, and he couldn't focus on his work. At that time, the people of the pleasure district began to put ideas in his head. ### Step 9 - **Reward**: He falsely claimed it was for his younger brother's sake, introducing him to famous individuals in the pleasure district and leading him into indulgence. ### Step 10 - **Objective**: Why did someone like that become an outlaw? - **Summary**: Because Prince Barhan Nesser envied him. Despite dedicating his life as a General... People only trusted Kayal! That's why Barhan decided to corrupt him. ### Step 11 - **Reward**: He was so brilliant that his future looked very promising. The royal family of Valencia even considered him as the future Grand Commander of Katan Military. ### Step 12 - **Objective**: Who owned the cylinder? - **Summary**: It was Saya Nesser, the youngest princess of Valencia. I didn't get to meet the princess, but I met her handmaid. And... I heard the truth. The secret of Kayal that ordinary people would never know... In reality... Kayal was someone who shouldn't become the king of the outlaws. He is the twin sibling of the princess, Kayal Nesser. A prince of Valencia! ### Step 13 - **Reward**: The mysterious adventurer emptied the last cup. Having concluded the story, he left with a contented expression. ### Step 14 - **Objective**: Neglected Book I - **Summary**: Hey, there. You look bored. If you don't have anything else to do, how about taking a look at the bookshelf beside me? There's a book about notorious villains' stories. ### Step 15 - **Objective**: Neglected Book II - **Summary**: You seem to have plenty of time. Would you like me to introduce you to a book? There's a bookshelf on the second floor of the inn. And you will be able to find a book there that tells the story of a notorious villain. ### Step 16 - **Dialogue**: Throughout life, one must leave behind a reputation, but... It doesn't seem to be an easy task as one might think. ### Step 17 - **Objective**: Is there anything to be cautious of on the way to Pila Ku? - **Summary**: You've made it this far, so you probably already know, crossing the Great Desert of Valencia is a risky. With the right preparations... it might be easier than you think. Hahaha! I've also been in a tight spot in the desert. The fickle weather that goes from cold to suddenly scorching... With nothing but sand all around, it's hard to gauge your location. Nowadays, I buy Purified Water, Star Anise Tea, and Part for Explorer's Compass to be fully prepared before crossing the desert. ※ Use Star Anise Tea to cure hypothermia, and use Purified Water to cure heatstroke. ※ You can see the map in the desert if you have an Ancient Explorer's Compass obtained by combining Part for Explorer's Compass x3.
