“Is not this brand, the logo for the blood serpents?!” Venn exclaimed. “Each single factor is sensible now!”
Venn’s eyes widened together with his mouth agape because the realisation hit him arduous.
How silly was he to not have realized this?
He had been operating errands for the blood serpents all this time, and but the existence of the organisation had slipped proper previous him beneath his sight.
It was so apparent pondering again now. He ought to have sensed that one thing was amiss.
The beneficiant and hefty rewards given to him regardless of simply delivering a easy letter.
The unusual reactions of the NPCs who instantly modified their attitudes towards him upon receiving the letters delivered to them.
All of those have been clues that he wouldn’t have missed if he was to pay a bit extra consideration to them!
He ought to have identified that the omnipresent AI that was controlling all issues in Heaven Descent would by no means make such an illogical mistake of giving out such a vastly disproportionate quest to gamers!
If he had been extra attentive, and investigated additional into these NPCs, he would have found this mysterious organisation prior to now. And in doing so, would not he be capable to save Rena? Venn could not assist however considered that this manner.
As he thought so, he fell right into a deep silence.
Nonetheless, earlier than his ideas have been steered in the direction of a foul route, Venn took a deep breath and saved his composure.
There was no level in regretting over previous occasions anymore. He believed the explanation he was given a second likelihood was to proper the wrongs and never waste the dear likelihood he needed to dwell in distress once more.
He may need failed again then, however he was definitely not going to fail once more.
Clenching his enamel arduous, he reminded himself to not make the identical mistake once more. Going ahead, he needed to be a lot better on this recreation to beat the opposite prime rankers that have been additional in progress than him.
With that in thoughts, he started looking his reminiscence to recall the data regarding the blood serpents. This time, ensuring that every one particulars have been meticulously mulled over.
Blood serpents is a mysterious organisation shrouded in secrecy relationship again to the Period of the Three emperors and 5 Kings. It had sturdy ties to the Stormbound Empire provided that it was based there.
Hardly ever another info was identified in regards to the operation and purpose of the organisation. Venn was sure that not more than a handful of gamers had even heard of the identify – ‘blood serpents’ earlier than.
Had it not been for the one attention-grabbing proven fact that the blood serpents was well-known for, Venn would not have even remembered their emblem given the entire lack of their info within the recreation.
Blood serpents is an murderer guild that specialises in assassinations regardless of how closely guarded and impenetrable the place is.
All through the lengthy historical past of Heaven Descent, the existence of an murderer guild wasn’t all that unusual in any respect although. There have been a number of murderer organisations popping up in all types of locations, throughout each kingdom, all with totally different goals and functions, particularly in instances of turmoil.
Nonetheless, what made blood serpents stand out amongst its competitors was for the truth that that they had a stupidly suicidal observe earlier than finishing up all their assassinations. And that questionable observe entails giving their goal a seven day discover that they’re coming for his or her lives.
Who the hell generously notify their goal prematurely that they are going to kill them? What would they anticipate their goal would do?
Wash their neck clear in order that it will likely be simpler for his or her assailants to have a better time slicing their heads off?
Venn’s preliminary response when he noticed the point out of the blood serpent in an previous guide referred to as the ‘Historical past of Stormbound factions’ was to snigger out loud at how ridiculous the observe was.
By no means as soon as did he assume that he would turn out to be their errand boy at some point. The errand quests that he proudly did again then was the very same factor he had mocked about. He ended up being the very individual that went round Rosewell Kingdom, delivering discover to blood serpents’ targets and in a method, telling them that they have been going to die a horrible and horrible demise.
It was ironic that he laughed at their observe.
Venn had spent fairly a time frame again then, determining the aim for blood serpents to implement such a rule, and in the end chucking their observe as a sensible joke that the builders of the sport had planted. By no means did he think about that he would at some point revisit the subject of blood serpents once more.
Sending a letter to inform your goal would simply imply giving them an ample time in shoring up their protection and be looking out, leading to a more durable assassination try.
Was it merely stupidity or simply plain conceitedness?
After experiencing Rena’s demise, Venn had a clearer understanding of life now with a second outlook. Additionally, when he recalled the frightened and chilly expressions of the NPCs who had obtained the letter, he might lastly perceive the reasoning behind the observe now.
“Despair.” Venn softly muttered beneath his breath together with his eyes fixated to the letter. It wasn’t till a notification sound disrupted his ideas that he pulled himself out from the painful reminiscence.
