Conquering The Game's World

"I don't know," Karlos shook his head.

Luis wasn't very surprised by his answer. 'Maybe they know Alex's origin and want to verify the truth about his bloodline.'

After that, Luis tried to get some more information from Karlos. However, the result wasn't satisfying. Karlos wasn't a core member. He was kept in the dark about many things, like Morbo Vulmuske's location. The only time the two of them came in contact was when he went through the reformation process.

---

Time passed, and the effect of hypnosis had already started fading.

Luis wasn't worried about Karlos' retaliation. After all, his wounded body hasn't been recovered yet. Besides, even if Karlos wanted to try something. There's no chance at all.

The effects of the hypnosis spell disappeared, and Karlos' body fell with a thud.

*Thud*

"Ugh!" Karlos groaned and glared at Luis with a look of horror and anger. He didn't expect himself to fall under an illusion and reveal all the information.

"I'll… kill you!" He said in a low but deep voice.

"You still haven't learned your lesson, huh?"

"Tsk!"

Karlos' incompetent rage did not affect Luis. However, the horrified look on his face made Luis click his tongue in annoyance. 'As expected, he still has his memory.'

'Hypnosis' wasn't a spell from the Ancient Magic Book. He learned it from another spell book for Illusions. So, although it was quite useful for Luis, it didn't have the amazing effects plus outstanding growth like the other spells from the Ancient Magic Book and had quite a few limitations.

He can't erase their memory, so the target will remember everything. He can't even control them to fight or work for him. Otherwise, the illusion may break. The only thing this spell is useful for now is extracting information. Which disappoints Luis.

'If only this spell was a little better, I would have already used it on Sera and clarified my suspicions by now.'

*Sigh*

"Where… is my brother?!" Although weak, Karlos' voice was still firm, laced with hostility.

Luis, who was already annoyed, heard Karlos' question and said in a disgusted tone.

"Your good brother is lustful after the girls from other races, right? To satisfy his desires, I locked him with a female orc."

"…"

How could Karlos not understand the implication behind Luis' words? His gaze at Luis turned fearful and gritting his teeth. He begged.

"Please let my brother go…"

"You are in no position to plead or negotiate with me," Luis said in a dismissive tone. Then took out some sedative drugs from his mana bracelet and forcefully fed Karlos.

"N-No!" Karlos tried to resist.

"Shut up! Otherwise, I send a female orc to service you too!"

Luis' threat was like pouring cold water on Karlos, as he immediately stopped resisting and swallowed the drugs.

'Even if I am poisoned to death… It's far better than being defiled by a female orc.'

Luis didn't know about Karlos' complicated thoughts as he watched him falling asleep within a few seconds.

"Lily, how long the sedatives will be effective?"

{Master, he should be unconscious for another 12 to 13 hours.}

Luis nodded. "Well, that's fine."

'Once he wakes up, let's just give him enough food to survive and feed him with another dose of sedatives.'

He used Spatial Jump to teleport out of the chamber and then went towards his worktable. He turned on the hologram and started making a list. For the research equipment and materials that he needs, to work on the new projects.

"Lily, check the list and see if there is anything that should be added?"

{Master, I suggest it's better to add a few more glass containers.}

"Hmm, add it." Luis nodded. Then after confirming that everything he needed was present. He spoke.

"Lily, call Dad."

*Beep*

A few seconds later, Lily's voice sounded, and her words made Luis frown.

{Master, there's no response.}

"Call Jack."

*Beep*

A second later, the hologram of a blue-haired man appeared in front of him.

[Young master.] Jack greeted him in a deep voice.

From his background, Luis could see that Jack was at the guild.

"Jack, why isn't Dad picking up my call?"

[Young master. At present, Master and My Lady are on a dungeon expedition. So, they aren't available to receive your call.]

"Huh? Dungeon Expedition? Both of them went together?" Luis was surprised by this news. A dungeon that needs the involvement of two S-ranks to be cleared up should be of a superior rank.

[It's the same S-rank dungeon that Sir David cleared one and a half months ago. I don't know the exact details, but it seems there is a discovery for which Sir David requested help from Master and My Lady.]

"A discovery?" Luis' brows tensed for a moment. He couldn't recall what this discovery was, as there were no such details given in the game story.

From what he remembers, around this time Raven guild was very occupied with something and they requested a lot of outside helpers. The Aiverson Royal Family also used this chance to pressure the Raven guild and steal a lot of resources from them.

It irritated Alicia, and she had some conflicts with Ursula and Thomas. In a duel, she crushed the siblings one by one and her distrust in others increased further.

'Now, with the support of the Suarez family. I guess the Raven guild's situation is good and the Aiverson Royal Family can't make any small moves.'

Although the future has changed, and these things seem irrelevant given the current situation. For Luis, comparing their actions from the game knowledge and the reality, it will be easier to guess their plans and make a judgement based on them. That is to avoid unexpected situations.

"How long has it been since they entered the dungeon?"

[It's been nine days and from the message sent by the support team, they should be back within a week.]

"Is that so?" Luis mumbled. 'I should talk with Dad and Uncle David. After they return.' Thinking so, he ordered. "Jack, I'll let Lily send you a list of items. Purchase them all."

[Should I deliver them to the academy?]

"No, I'll come back to Tryston City in a few days and receive them in person." After saying that, Luis hung up the call.
