"Lost? So what do I do?" Wang Yu questioned .
Wang Yu was not worried that the quest couldn't be completed . After all, this was a system generated quest . Since the Dusk Roulette was lost, the Assassin must have some other method .
Assassin Lyon looked meaningfully at Wang Yu again, "Young man, don't expect others to do things for you for free . Don't forget that I am the one who brought out this Heart of Darkness . "
"What…" Wang Yu was instantly dumbfounded the moment he heard what Assassin Lyon said .
Assassin Lyon was never a person with high morals and sense of justice from the start . Moreover, he even tried to absorb the energy of the Heart of Darkness for the gain of his own personal power . How could Wang Yu completely trust his words?
Noticing Wang Yu's expression, Assassin Lyon added, "When I was younger, I was obsessed with power . As time passes, I've matured and I am much older now which is why I do not wish to live my life on the edge anymore . Do you understand me?"
Wang Yu nodded, "As long as you tell me the way to seal the Heart of Darkness, you should be able to make up for your mistakes . "
Assassin Lyon laughed faintly, "Of course! But how am I going to live out the rest of my life? Didn't you see? I cannot even hold a dagger properly now . "
As he spoke, he looked at the Dagger of Seal left on the ground by Lone Vagrant Guest .

Wang Yu frowned as Assassin Lyon was clearly asking for money . What did he mean by not being able to hold a dagger properly? Earlier, he was evidently very nimble when he was attacking One Page Book .
"How much?" Wang Yu asked with caution .
"500 . " Assassin Lyon raised his palm to indicate five .
"F*ck!" Wang Yu threw out a bag of money . In his heart, he was cursing the system for being bloodsucking ghosts . He had only just earned 500 gold from Lone Vagrant Guest and was immediately robbed of it .
One Page Book and Lone Vagrant Guest stared blankly at Wang Yu, "Are you really completing your quest this way?"
"Ah? Don't you know that all these NPCs are extremely shameless?" Wang Yu was also slightly surprised at their reactions . These two fellas were of rather high levels especially One Page Book, who was already more than level 30 . Didn't they know that the system NPC could be bribed with money?
Lone Vagrant Guest asked, "I thought they aren't willing to give quests because they didn't like you enough?"
"Indeed! By giving them money, they will instantly like you enough…" Wang Yu replied honestly .
"F*ck!" Lone Vagrant Guest looked stupefied . These NPCs were way too realistic and to think that he had to work so hard to gain favourable impressions of his previous quest NPCs . Who knew that there was such a simple way?
Assassin Lyon smiled after keeping the bag of money . He pointed to the Dagger of Seal on the ground, "There is a Land of Burying Bone below the Dusk Peak . There is a White Bones Altar where all you need to do is to put the Heart of Darkness in the centre of offering platform before inserting the Dagger of Seal . That is all you have to do . "

"That simple?" Wang Yu was doubtful at how simple and straightforward this S grade quest was .
Also, this quest was called Altar At The Peak so why was the altar located at the bottom of the mountain?
Assassin Lyon replied, "The difficulty of this quest is altered only because I am here . "
"Oh…" Wang Yu was skeptical as he went ahead to pick up the Dagger of Seal .
At this point, Assassin Lyon suddenly pointed at Lone Vagrant Guest . "The Dagger of Deal has to be inserted personally by him . "
After Assassin Lyon said this, Lone Vagrant Guest received the same quest as Wang Yu .
"Me?" Lone Vagrant Guest looked at the ridiculous penalty for failing this quest and he reacted, "What has this got to do with me?"
"The fact that you're the one who pulled out the dagger?"
"What about me?" One Page Book didn't look very pleased . It seemed like she had received the same quest too .
"You're the one who opened up the altar!"

"Altar?" Wang Yu and Lone Vagrant Guest stared at One Page Book suspiciously .
"Hmph!" One Page Book grunted, "When I reached there first, there was an altar and it was opened by me . Before I could pull out the dagger, the two of you arrived . "
"No wonder there were only two mountain goblins at the peak when we arrived . And we didn't even get to see the altar of the quest too… So its because you've reached earlier than us…"
When Wang Yu first ascended the mountain, he was confused as to why there were only two monsters in such a huge space . Now it made sense that it was because One Page Book reached earlier than them and those two mountain goblins should be the newly spawned monsters .
The system really made sure that every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor . They certainly made sure that a person would be responsible for his/her own actions .
Assassin Lyon reminded, "Alright, the few of you should head off quickly . The energy from the Heart of Darkness is still permeating through the air . The more you delay, the more troublesome it will be . "
"Oh oh oh, we got it!" Wang Yu and the two others responded as they hurried towards the Dusk Peak .
Presently, Lone Vagrant Guest was still pretty excited . He didn't expect the last round of quest to be this simple . While the penalties for failing might seems scary but with such a simple quest, how is failing this quest even possible? The rewards for completing an S grade quest must be really attractive . At the very least, it should worth more than the rewards of the hidden job quest just now .
One Page Book's eyes were not able to conceal her excitement . She was an ordinary player and was naturally unable to reject the temptations of an S grade quest rewards . Even though the final round of the quest was simply, Wang Yu was still the one holding the Heart of Darkness . This quest couldn't be completed without Wang Yu which was why she decided to toss aside her hatred for Wang Yu .
The only person who didn't look excited was Wang Yu . He kept thinking about the words of the Assassin and his expression was getting more serious by the minute .
Land of Bone Burying was a map which Wang Yu found out about when he jumped off the cliff at the Dusk Mountain Range .
Dusk Mountain Range and Dusk Wilderness were the diagonals of Dusk City and were extremely far apart from each other . Even at a decent speed, Wang Yu and the other two took about 30 minutes to get there .
As he returned to the Land of Bone Burying, Wang Yu felt that the atmosphere here was even more peculiar than before .
The bones on the floor constantly felt as though they could come back to life anytime .
The Land of Bone Burying's map was fixed according to the cliff . It was long and narrow as the trio walked through it . These bones didn't move at all and this made Wang Yu even more suspicious .
Logically speaking, this wasn't the first time Wang Yu was completing an S grade quest . Wang Yu was certain that the system wouldn't make an S grade quest that simple . After all, Wang Yu was already encircled with countless monsters in the very first round . How could it be possible that there weren't any monsters here?
"There is the altar! Hurry up and go put the Heart of Darkness there . "
Wang Yu was deep in thoughts when he suddenly heard One Page Book's voice . As he looked over at the direction of the voice, Wang Yu saw the altar spotted by One Page Book .
The altar wasn't considered big as the size was about 2 metres square . It was an oval altar formed by piling up bones . On the altar, there was a bowl size platform supported up by bones . This should be the offering platform mentioned earlier .
"No hurry!" Wang Yu looked over at the altar and shook his hand, "Don't you think that there is something weird about this altar?"
No matter how Wang Yu looked at this altar, it felt weird . How could it be possible for something as evil as the Heart of Darkness to be sealed just by placing it on an altar like this? This must be a trap .
