Legacy of the Betelgeuse

We are all just chilling at the house while watching Francesca and Chelsea are dueling in the backyard. Because of Chelsea being my Apostle, she said that her stat has increased significantly. Her stat is now the highest compared to the rest of them. I haven't seen Emma because she's still exploring the new cities with William, and she said that she will be back soon.

Francesca is blocking all of Chelsea's attacks like it's nothing, and yet she also can do nothing to beat Chelsea because of Chelsea's high stat. What surprises me is that Francesca and the others who are now Ivonna's Apostles have a very high HP and DEF. They're being secrecy about how much bonus stat they received from Ivonna, and Ivonna is also keeping it a secret from me and Chelsea. All I can think is that Ivonna received a lot of bonus stat from her Pursuivants and that has increased her base stat significantly. The more Pursuivants she has, the higher her and her Apostles stat.

Chelsea then thrust her spear at Francesca and Francesca falls to the ground dead. Chelsea is cheering while giggling mischievously. Chelsea then walks toward us and crossing her arms arrogantly, but then she tilts her head and looks at something behind us. I turn my head and see Aspen is on his way here.

Aspen waves at us and then look at Ivonna.

"Are you ready to leave?"

Michael and the others are furrowing their foreheads with confusion, but then I remember that Ivonna already had a plan with him to explore Orion to find the next clue for her Godly item quest. Ivonna looks at Francesca and then Francesca nods. Ivonna looks at Aspen.

"Yes, we are ready to leave."

Ivonna then looks at Michael and the others.

"I forgot to tell you that I'm planning to explore further into the unknown with Francesca and Aspen for the quest. I need to find the next clue, and since Aspen had explored the Orion many times, I think he can help me with the quest."

Michael and the others are humming with understanding. Grisell then looks at Ivonna while drinking an apple juice.

"We all can go together though. We are also curious about the newly discovered map from the big updates. We might be able to help with the quest as well. Right, guys?"

Michael nods.

"Yeah, we can help you with that, Ivonna. We don't have anything important to do anyway, so we would love to help you with the quest."

Ivonna then looks at Aspen. Aspen is nodding while smiling.

"Yeah, that would be great. I think the more people that are coming with us, the easier for you to complete the quest."

Ivonna nods in agreement and then looks at the others for confirmation if they really want to go with her. Everyone smiles and nods and shows that they're willing to help her with her quest. Ivonna then looks at me.

"Are you coming with us, Trev?"

I nod.

"Yeah, sure. I also want to go to a certain place. I need to find it and confirm if the place is still there. But, I will catch up with you guys later because I need to wait for Emma and William. So those two know where to go with me guiding the way."

Ivonna nods.

"Okay, we will be waiting."

I nod and then they're leaving, but Chelsea is not coming with them. Ivonna is looking at Chelsea with confusion.

"Chessi?"

Chelsea is waving her hand.

"I will wait here for Emma and William with Trevor. You guys can go ahead."

Ivonna nods with understanding and then they leave.

Chelsea is looking at them leaving and then looks at me.

"What are you planning to do while we are waiting for Emma and William?"

I look at her while raising my eyebrows.

"I need to talk with an NPC around here. What about you?"

Chelsea is looking at the forum.

"I will stay in the house while reading and eating snacks."

I scoff and nod.

"Alright. I will be back soon."

Chelsea is nodding with understanding and then she gets inside the house.

I go to Hacal's house and I see him in his favorite spot which is sitting on the chair in front of his house. He looks at me smiles while waving at me. I stand in front of him with a big smile on my face.

"Hacal, I have good news for you."

Hacal is smirking happily and nods.

"Come in."

I sit at the table while Hacal is making tea for both of us. He then sits in front of me and puts the cups of tea on the table. He rests his arms on the table and leans forward.

"So, what is this good news."

I raise my eyebrows while smiling.

"I was there. I was inside the Land of Sigrid."

Hacal closes his eyes and then leans on the chair with a big smile on his face, but then he starts sobbing and covering his eyes with his left hand. I'm just smiling and drinking the tea he made while watching him sobbing while smiling and chuckling with disbelief. He's trying to wipe his tears but they keep coming out from his eyes. Those are the tears of happiness and relief.

Hacal is sniffling while clearing his throat.

"Thank you..."

I shake my head.

"You don't need to thank me because I haven't done anything yet for you. You can thank me later after I did my job."

[Haca is starting to like you.]

[Affinity towards Trevor increased by 30%]

[Hacal Augustus (30%)]

Hacal nods while smiling.

"Then, would you listen to my request?"

I nod and smile.

"It's my pleasure to listen to every request of yours."

Hacal chuckles and shakes his head.

[Hacal's third request (Completed)]

[You have received the "Hero" title. Hacal has been looking for anyone who wants to help him to see someone that he wants to meet in the Land of Sigrid.]

Hacal then rests his arms on the table and looks at the cup of tea.

"I want you to meet Leonia and Hermia in the Land of Sigrid. There is something I want you to give them. Give me a minute."

I nod and just keep enjoying my cup of tea. Hacal then leaves to another room.

This is a new quest for me, so I don't know who are those two people are. But by knowing their names, it seems that those two are women. I wonder if those women are his friends or companions from the old days. But by looking at his reaction when I said I managed to enter the Land of Sigrid, those women seem to be someone important for him. Then Hacal comes back with a scroll that is tied with a red ribbon.

Hacal puts the scroll in front of me and then sits in front of me.

"I want you to give them this letter."

I grab the letter and a notification appears.

[Hacal's Letter obtained.]

-

[Hacal's fourth request]

[Hacal has written a letter of Leonia and Hermia. They are the most important people for Hacal Augustus. Hacal wants you to give this letter to them.]

[Rewards: None]

[Failed: No Penalty]

[Accept this quest?]

[Yes] [No]

...

...

...

[Yes]

I look at Hacal and he's smiling happily while looking at the letter in my hand.

"Are those two is your wife and daughter, Hacal?"

Hacal's smile immediately disappears and then looks at me with disbelief.

"How did you know that?"

I shake my head.

"I have seen those kinds of expressions before. I'm just making a wild guess."

Hacal becomes quiet and then he looks down at the cup of tea and looking at his own face through the tea's reflection.

"They were killed by someone when I was deployed to do a mission. When I went back to see my wife and my daughter, they both were butchered like an animal and they left their heads on the dining table as if they warned me to not mess around with those people. I tried to find those who killed my wife and my daughter, and I couldn't find a single clue. I gave up and already have let go of the past and keeps on living for them both."

There are so many groups of people who would kill for fun or for money. It could be the shadow, the headless cult, or other mercenaries and assassins. I can't help him with only this information, and if I want to know who did those to his wife and daughter, the only option is to ask about that incident to his wife and daughter, Leonia and Hermia.

I look at Hacal.

"Do you want revenge, Hacal? I will help you find the culprit."

Hacal is glaring at me so seriously and his expression is filled with hatred and anger.

"Yes, I want revenge."

[Hidden Quest: Hacal's Revenge]

[Find the culprit who killed Leonia and Hermia. Hacal is desperate to find the culprit and wants to seek revenge for what they did to his only family.]

[Rewards: ???]

[Failed: No Penalty]

[Accept this quest?]

[Yes] [No]

...

...

...

[Yes]

I nod and look at him.

"Then, I will help you get your revenge."
