These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 250: Quest with this setting?

A look of confusion was on my face as I looked at the sand people that were on their knees in front of me.

I just couldn't understand what they were doing no matter how I looked at them.

Them suddenly bowing down like this was certainly the last thing that I expected them to do.

But that didn't mean that I let my guard down just because they were acting this way.

In fact, I raised my guard even more because this seemed like something that one would do to catch someone off guard. The more unexpected an action was, the easier it would be to catch them off guard.

Only it didn't seem like the sand people were planning anything with the way that they kept their heads on the ground.

In the end, I had no choice but to ask, "What do you mean by this? How am I supposed to save you?"

"Please put our king out of his misery and slay as many of the Abyss Demons as you can."

This was once again the last thing that I expected to hear…or at least the first part was the unexpected part. The latter part was the part that I already expected since the Abyss Demons were the ones that were invading this world.

It was only natural that they would want to take down the Abyss Demons and take out as many of them as possible.

But what did their king have to do with this?

After a moment of confused silence, I slowly asked, "What do you mean by putting your king out of his misery?"

This time, it was the sand people's turn to hesitate.

It wasn't because they didn't want to tell me, it seemed that they were hesitating because it was difficult for them to say what they wanted to say. It seemed that they were very emotional about these things.

Only I really couldn't relate since I had no idea what they wanted to tell me in the first place.

After another moment of silence, the same sand person said, "Our king has been corrupted by the powers of the Abyss. He was one the wise ruler of our civilization, but after being corrupted by the power of the Abyss…"

It seemed that he found it hard to continue, so there was another sand person that continued for him, "After he was corrupted by the power of the Abyss, he became a tyrant that trusted no one. He locked himself away in his palace with his army and allowed our civilization to fall to ruin under the attack of the Abyss Demons."

I couldn't help slightly knitting my brows when I heard this.

It was just that I found that there was something off about what these sand people said.

After all, even if I were to take down the king of the sand people, would that actually help them?

If one thought about it closely, taking down the main forces of the sand people would just result in them being destroyed by the Abyss Demons. It didn't seem like this was the right thing to do, it even seemed like this was some kind of trap.

But the way that they looked at me after saying this was as if they were filled with sincerity.

The final straw that broke the camel's back was when there was a notification that appeared in front of my face.

I was completely caught off guard by this notification, but it seemed that this notification actually confirmed what these sand people were saying. At the same time, it seemed like this was the set quest for this dungeon.

Without completing this set quest, it didn't seem like we would be able to leave this Hidden Dungeon.

So with no other choice, I chose to accept this quest.

Though there was one question that was on my mind…

"What is with the setting of this quest?"

Even though I did say anything, as soon as I accepted the quest through the prompt that appeared in front of my face, the sand people reacted.

They treated me with friendliness and courtesy, insisting that I come with them to their camp so that they could provide me with items that would help me on this quest.

I didn't really know what was happening, so I chose to follow them.

But before following the sand people to their camp, I called out Iris and Wang Rong.

The two of them didn't hesitate as they came out since they had received the same notification as me. I could tell that they accepted the quest as well since there was a notification showing how many people accepted the quest, as well as how we were considered one party by the system.

As such, there was no point in moving separately.

Though if the sand people did try something, it would be easy for us to escape with the power that we had.

I was curious just what kind of information they would have for us.

When we arrived in the camp, the same thing happened where they all started paying their respects to us. It seemed that just by being different from them, by not being sand people, we received respect from them.

But the way that the system of this Hidden Dungeon had made the setting of this place…

"It's the otherworld heroes!"

"They're finally here!"

"They are here to save us from the forces of darkness!"

With the way that they all said this and looked at us with excited looks on their faces, it really made me think of something else.

"Was this place designed after some kind of RPG game?"

Wang Rong was the one that asked the question that was on all of our minds.

The moment that we walked into the camp, we all had this same thought in our mind.

This place really was similar to how a hero would enter the first town in any RPG game…
