"Congratulations, you have reached the threshold for accepting a side quest!" "Side Quest: 'Bloodstained Throne'" "Quest Overview: Diomo City, the royal capital of the Mountain Kingdom, vanished overnight. After king Zuniga's investigation, it was discovered that Diomo City had most likely fallen into the Dark Corner." "Quest Objectives: Find the lost Diomo City (Unavailable) / Find surviving Mountain Folk (Partially Available) / Find the Bloodstained Throne (Unavailable)" "Known Clues: 1. Diomo City and the Bloodstained Throne are both within the Dark Corner. 2. Perhaps the aura of the throne can be used to locate the Dark Corner. 3. Perhaps information can be obtained by finding the Mountain Folk."
The sudden Wonderland message that hit him in the face left Angel dazed for a moment.
He had not expected that merely hearing Zuniga's past would trigger a side quest.
It seemed the ways of accepting side quests were even more varied than he had imagined.
Raising favorability to accept side quests was the conventional method.
Using hypnosis to seize control and forcibly accept quests was the crooked path.
And this time, he had received a quest through a "sincere" exchange. Perhaps that was the true shortcut.
That said, after hearing Zuniga's account, Angel had already guessed that his side quest was most likely related to finding Diomo City.
Sure enough, "Bloodstained Throne" really did ask him to find the lost royal city.
However, just like "The Clown's Heart Knot," this quest required entering the Dark Corner to complete, so its current objectives were all marked "Unavailable."
Only when the Dark Corner Instance opened would there be any possibility of completing this quest.
At that thought, Angel deliberately looked over the three quest objectives.
And when he did, he suddenly noticed something unusual.
Earlier, he had merely skimmed through them.
