Chapter 89 - Journey.

''What?!'' Isaac exclaimed after sudden news, ''King Klaus is using Marksman?!''

King Jonathan nodded with a serious look, ''He did in the Beta Testing phase.''

''King Klaus was a quiet guy.'' Queen Diana said, her face conflicted as she continued, ''He never talked with anyone and liked to stay alone.''

''Maybe he found out the flaws in the Marksman class and started hating it?'' Darth guessed.

King Jonathan frowned and shook his head, ''Arthur asked from every King and Queen if they wanted to change class... Klaus didn't want to change.''

''Did Marksman get nerfed?'' Darth asked, ''Is it similar with the Beta Test version?''

Queen Diana shook her head, ''None of the classes was changed. The last update was the first time any of the classes was changed.''

Isaac frowned, 'What is the meaning of this... Why doesn't King Klaus want anyone to use Marksman?'

''So, your class is Marksman?'' King Jonathan asked.

Isaac nodded, ''That's right.''

King Jonathan nodded, ''Even though Marksman seems to be one of the weakest classes in the paper, it can still be buffed.''

''Don't lose hope!'' Darth said while patting Isaac's shoulder.

Isaac looked thoughtful, 'I guess King Klaus wasn't the first one to insult Marksman class... Everyone seems to have a mindset that the Marksman class is useless, but who is spreading that rumor... And why is King Klaus lying...'

*Bam*

The carriage trembled, and everyone who was inside the carriage almost fell down from their seats.

''Damn!'' Darth screamed, ''This transportation sucks!''

Isaac looked outside the carriage and saw small holes on the ground, which caused the trembling.

He didn't notice those holes when he was running on the same road, but now that he looked closely.

The dirt road was quite badly taken care of, and it is only a matter of time before vehicles with wheels are impossible to be used as transportation.

The carriage kept shaking for five minutes straight until it reached the smoother part of the road.

Darth rubbed his painful buttocks, ''I am starting to hate carriages even more.''

King Jonathan and Queen Diana are used to carriage rides, but even they felt slightly annoyed because of the bumpy ride.

Isaac sighed; this will be a long ride.

The not-so-smooth carriage ride went for another 1 hour and 20 minutes until finally the entrance of the Beast Forest became visible.

After the carriage stopped, Darth instantly left the carriage and stomped towards the driver.

The driver took a cigarette from his pocket and started smoking.

''What the hell was that?!'' Darth screamed after reaching the driver's seat.

He looked at the drivers' nametag and printed it on his memory.

[Ting]

The driver, also known as Ting, turned his head towards Darth and frowned, ''What, who do you think you are? You dare to yell at me, I will get you jailed.''

Darth had veins popping on his forehead, ''The ride was fucking bumpy, and it took 20 minutes longer than it was supposed to! We could have fucking ran faster here!''

Ting snorted and took a puff of the cigarette, ''The scenery was nice, so I decided to enjoy it more. If you don't like it, fuck off. I can get you banned from all of the carriage rides with a snap of my fingers.''

''What about the, I don't have all day bullshit!'' Darth screamed and pointed at Ting with a shaky finger, ''You think you are so fucking important, eh?!''

Ting chuckled, ''Of course I am important.''

Darth was about to complete snap, but then Queen Diana touched his shoulder, ''Darth-chan, it's enough.''

Darth looked at her and saw her enraged look, which he rarely saw.

But, it was not directed at him; it was towards Ting.

''Fine...'' Darth said and turned around to leave.

Ting snorted and took another puff, ''No balls.''

Darth's eyes went bloodshot, but he continued to walk towards the Beast Forest with absolute rage.

Queen Diana narrowed her eyes while looking at Ting, but she turned around and followed behind Darth with her face emotionless; no one knew what she was thinking about.

King Jonathan followed behind with other Core Members of Black Arrow.

Isaac heard the commotion while being inside the carriage; he took a glance at the tire of the carriage and saw one of the bolts being loosened slightly after the bumpy ride.

'That looks important.' Isaac touched the bolt and pulled it off from the tire, and he almost instantly saw the tire being on a breaking point.

He threw the bolt on the nearby bush and smiled innocently towards Ting.

Ting looked at the beautiful boy and snorted, ''What are you looking at?''

''Have a nice ride.'' Isaac innocently said and ran after Darth.

''Hmph.'' Ting threw the cigarette away and grabbed his whips.

He had a small sadistic smile as he whipped the buttocks of the horses.

''Hiyah!''

*Neigh*

The horses neighed and started galloping away from the Beast Forest.

Ting looked quite relaxed, but then the carriage started shaking uncomfortably.

''Hmm?'' He looked confused, but after one of the tires got struck with a rock on the road...

The tire cracked apart and caused the carriage to crash on the ground!

''AHHHHHHHH!'' The carriage did a sudden stop, which caused Ting to fly out of the driver's seat and fall down heavily on the ground.

*Neigh!*

The horses got rid of the restraints and started galloping away, leaving the stunned Ting behind.

''COME BACK!'' Ting screamed, but the horses didn't look behind and soon disappeared from the view.

Leaving destroyed carriage and despaired Ting behind.

Ting looked around him and gulped with a pale face. He wasn't far enough from the Beast Forest, and it isn't rare for some of the Beasts to leave the forest to attack travelers.

He shakily stood up and started quickly running on the road, which leads to the Stronglord, but his fitness was reduced by a lot after a sudden gain of wealth.

He started enjoying food, which only nobles could enjoy before, and the delicious food hooked him, which caused him to gain weight a lot.

Also, he got addicted to cigarettes, which made his fitness even worse.

He got a long journey ahead, but after only running for 100 meters, he was panting heavily, but then...

He heard a sound.

''Awoooooooooooo!''

Ting shakily turned his head towards the Beast Forest and saw pair of red eyes gazing at him hungrily.

His legs started trembling, but then he remembered the individuals he gave a ride to.

''HELP ME!'' His loud scream echoed in the distance.

Darth and others suddenly frowned and thought they heard a noise.

''Did you hear something?'' Darth asked with a frown.

Isaac shook his head, ''Nope, let's hurry, we need to reach the Duo Dungeon; we might be already late.''

Everyone nodded and quickly forgot about the sudden noise.
