Relife Player 140
[Chapter 052]
[The Day When the Wind Doesn’t Rain (4)]
Three full days passed from Dobong Station to Hoeryong Station.
The recapture war went more smoothly than planned.
Even if the monsters jumping onto the tracks had to give up counting, the players who formed a group were strong.
In particular, the clan with the Twelve Seats at the forefront showed no signs of slowing down even while dealing with high-ranking monsters.
Therefore, it is not impossible to recapture Uijeongbu, which was destroyed by monsters.
All the players who participated thought so.
This was the reason why they had enough morale to forget the fatigue accumulated from battle after battle.
hey bro What are you thinking so hard about?
…nothing.
< White Coat > Lee Seung-hwan.
He turned his head in the direction of the sound, playing as a dealer at a party led by Shin Seo-young of the < Shinpoong > in the Changhae Clan.
It’s none of my business.
Steel, who had thrown off his top, was passing along with building materials for building a supply base slung over his shoulder.
Brother, if you’re not going to do anything, why don’t you help build a supply base?
Wouldn’t that be our job? It’s because people are so picky.
Likewise, < Bulldozer > Kang Chul is active as a guardian in the party led by Shin Seo-young of < Shinpung > in the Changhae Clan.
The sun shone on the shoulders of his draped building materials.
It was a mechanical arm.
Giving up one arm to protect a party member from monsters, he was a middle-aged man who was deeply trusted by people who had worked in the industry.
He was so loyal that he even rolled up his sleeves and stepped out even though it was not his job.
Rest while you can. It will be more difficult than now.
On the other hand, despite being in his early 30s, the gray-haired player was a thoroughly individualistic man.
There was even clairvoyance.
To the point where he trembles and hates getting monster blood on his clothes.
The reason why the clothes he wore was white was not because he was strong enough to kill monsters without getting blood on him, but because he had to be white so that the stains on him could be checked in time.
So the man was a < white robe >.
The meaning of having a tinnitus meant that men were also named players who had achievements worthy of recognition in the industry.
tsk but who doesn’t know that.
But if I take a break, I’m afraid I’ll lose my guard, so what can I do?
My sister seemed uncomfortable throughout the recapture war, and the high-ranking people were having meetings over there.
Kang Chul pointed at the large barracks with his chin.
It was the first barracks set up upon arriving at Hoeryong Station.
Come to think of it, it seems like a lot of time has passed.
It’s already been 3 hours, 3 hours. I wonder why the meeting that was supposed to end in an hour was going on for three hours…
Kang Chul clicked his tongue in frustration.
He wasn’t cool.
It was because of the internal circumstances of the Changhae Clan.
A few years ago, when the opinions of Changhae Clan Lord Gil Seong-jun and Shin Seo-yeong began to diverge, dissonance arose within the clan.
As Gil Seong-jun took a completely different course from the existing policy, he also spurred opposition from some clan members.
As a result, a keynote was formed in the Changhae Clan that the followers of Gil Seong-jun and Shin Seo-young did not like each other.
Fortunately, there was no quarrel between the clan members because Shin Seo-yeong did not strongly oppose the Clanlord’s decision.
It didn’t happen, but after the recapture of Uijeongbu started, the relationship between the two got worse.
I do not know the reason.
I don’t know why, but there was an atmosphere that wouldn’t be strange even if a resistance broke out within the clan.
It was really frustrating.
To the point that I couldn’t shake it off without using my body.
…that’s right It’s hard to believe that these two are lovers now.
that’s my word I don’t know what I’m doing because I’m caught between Clanlord and my sister these days.
I mean the clan. uh? We need to know how to treat each other like family. uh? But can you properly recapture Uijeongbu with this?
The steel groaned.
Lee Seung-hwan did not respond to his complaints and kept his eyes on the scene unfolding from Hoeryong Station.
It was in ruins.
The sky was so blue
, but beyond it was stained gray, as if it had lost its color.
…as it was then.
Suddenly, an old thought came to mind.
He was an orphan. I lost my family to monsters around the time I didn’t even know who my family was or even what my name was.
It wasn’t enough.
All the people who lived in Hwaseong were like that.
He had to wander around the city of Mars, which was occupied by the monsters who led the group, in tears, barefoot.
hi. why are you crying alone
What about your family?
no? what the same as me
I’m Yoo In-hoo. What’s your name?
Then I met my older brother In-Hoo Yoo.
The older brother who gave him a piece of bread when he was left alone.
If he hadn’t met his older brother then, he wouldn’t be where he is today.
As soon as the recapture war ends… I’ll have to go see it.
Yoo In-hoo was stabbed to death by people in the slums right before graduation from the academy.
He recalled the face of his benefactor and older brother for the first time in a while, and smiled faintly and forlornly.
What is it? …what?
Lee Seung-hwan, lost in memories, frowned.
When he looked back, Kang Chul, who was holding building materials, had a puzzled look on his face.
I almost fell because I had just hit something.
Although there is no one around.
what are you talking about
Lee Seung-hwan responded with a tone that said, “Don’t even joke about it.”
Where is the person here who will hit the material that steel is holding?
weird. I obviously hit something.
There is no wind.
no bro Am I the kind of body that will be blown away by the wind? I don’t know if it’s my sister’s wish. In the first place, the weather is good without a single wind blowing!
Steel shouted loudly.
Seunghwan Lee sighed.
It wasn’t even worth fighting for. I decided not to listen to steel’s words anymore.
It’s like a ghost singing. I must have hit something.
When Lee Seung-hwan did not answer, Chul-chul, who was deep in thought, went back to build a supply base.
☆
The reason the recapture team arrived at Hoeryong Station was holding the meeting sluggishly was because of the organization of the troops.
Canghai Clan Road. what did you say now?
The bang and the sound of hitting the table shook the barracks.
The atmosphere in the barracks was unforgiving.
It’s not a strange atmosphere, as if it’s going to burn up right away if you light it.
Shin Myeong-hwan, the Clan Lord of the Tempest Clan and the Twelve Seat < Railgun >, glared at the opponent sitting at the table across from him with a twinkle in his eyes.
Didn’t I tell you I’d like to change the arrangement.
Changhae Clanlord Gil Seong-jun.
He held his hands together on the table, not paying attention to Shin Myung-hwan’s momentum.
He even put a smile on his lips as he talked about how enjoyable this situation was.
Now that you come and change the composition. Are you saying that right now…
Shinra Clan Lord Kim Yu-jin clicked his tongue as if to listen.
She, too, could not hide her displeasure and gave a hostile gaze.
The redemption war begins now. If there is a problem with the plan, is it possible to change it?
Seongjun Gil replied politely.
I looked around at the Clanlords who were looking at me as if there was something wrong.
You can change it if your plans are disrupted.
But I don’t think there was a problem with the plan.
Gu Yeon-soo, who was watching the meeting with a sad expression, added to the opinions of the other Clan Lords.
He opened his slender eyes and observed Gil Seong-jun’s attitude.
I can’t understand Why do we suddenly have to attack the Northern Gyeonggi Government Complex?
Shin Myung-hwan responded in an annoyed tone.
This was the reason why there was a bloody atmosphere.
Arriving at Hoeryong Station, Gil Seong-jun suddenly asked to change the unit organization of the Changhae Clan and the Tempest Clan while organizing their plans.
The role of the Changhae Clan transporting Cocoon to Uijeongbu Station and providing support to the Northern Gyeonggi Government Complex.
Conversely, the role of Tempest Clan to attack the Northern Gyeonggi Government Complex.
It was uncomfortable for the Clan Lords, who were following the procedure as planned.
The Changhae Clan’s tricks were obvious.
The ulterior motive is to attack the Gyeonggi Northern Government Complex more easily and to achieve the significance of transporting cocoons.
No one present knew what was in the supplies transported to Uijeongbu Station.
And through today’s meeting, I heard that Cocoon was included in the supply.
Along with the story that fairy Lim Ga-eul will visit Uijeongbu as soon as the recapture war is over and develop Cocoon.
Until now, I’ve only been silent.
Cocoon was an artifact that had to be managed strictly.
The function of cocoon was the hope of mankind, and the mana alloy required to make cocoon boasted considerable quality.
It wouldn’t have happened, but the possibility of it being stolen had to be thoroughly ruled out.
This was the reason Gil Seong-jun’s attitude suddenly changed.
The meaning of carrying the cocoon was such a great honor that even material rewards could not replace it.
Besides, after carrying the cocoon, why don’t you go to attack the northern Gyeonggi government building?
Yes, the Changhae Clan has a large number of people. We can transport Cocoon to Uijeongbu Station without any risk.
It is the same with us. Rather, since the Changhae Clan consists of a large number of people, shouldn’t we focus on attacking the Northern Gyeonggi Government Complex?
Because it is a large number of people, it was judged that it would not be easy to attack the Northern Gyeonggi Government Complex.
Do you think a large group of people can fight properly inside a building, let alone in an open area?
I think it’s more reasonable to clear the surrounding area while Tempest Clan is attacking the northern Gyeonggi government building.
What kind of bullshit…
There was no bullshit.
Tempest Clan Sublord Kang Ye-hee tried to retaliate with three hundred eyes.
Then Shin Myung-hwan reached out and caught her as she leaned over the table.
It meant to stay silent.
Even though Gil Seong-jun’s words were not the same, he had to keep his integrity in the gathering of those with authority to command.
I couldn’t do anything wrong.
Tempest Clan Lord.
Gil Seong-jun, who had been touching him without losing his smile until then, called him.
Shin Myung-hwan just glared at him without answering.
It didn’t matter though.
Gil Seong-jun spoke as if he had suddenly remembered.
Come to think of it, I heard the news that Fine Group is going to develop a player library…. What do you want to say? But I heard that the business Sirius Group is taking a step forward.
A chilly silence fell.
Shin Myung-hwan’s face lost his poker face and distorted.
Mana is not the only power that controls the once destroyed world.
wealth and power.
Those two were the powers that existed before the world was destroyed, and they are the powers that still do not change and rule the world.
And each different power exerted greater synergy by colluding with each other.
The Sirius Group, which is ranked second in the business world, and the Changhae Clan, which is considered the second finger in Korea.
In comparison, the Tempest Clan, which received an S-grade along with the Fine Group and the Blaze Clan, which are ranked 5th in the financial hierarchy.
Shin Myung-hwan, who was clearly aware of the difference in power, was crumpled as much as his pride would be crumpled.
Seongjun Gil giggled as he saw him unable to open his mouth in the midst of so many people gathered.
Gil Seong-jun Clan Road.
Why?
Shin Myung-hwan did not answer. Kang Ye-hee, who was sitting next to her, couldn’t hide her sorrowful expression.
In the meantime, Kim Yu-jin sighed deeply while refining the mana that had been expressed outside the body.
You’re so… trash.
…there is no garbage.
Even Regulus Clan Road Gu Yeon-soo clicked his tongue and showed disappointment.
Either that or not, Gil Seong-jun shrugged.
…Shin Seo-young player. Is the Changhae Clan really… going to come out like that now?
Conversation doesn’t work
Shin Myung-hwan opened his mouth to Shin Seo-young, who was sitting next to Gil Seong-jun.
She had been looking down at the table throughout the meeting without raising her head once.
…sorry.
She nodded and apologized.
Minister Moon.
While everyone was silent, the one who spoke was Zenith Clanlord Ji Yong-hyeon.
Not paying attention to the gaze he was looking at, he spoke to Mun-jun.
What do you think, Minister Moon?
People’s eyes turned to Munjun.
As if he was lost in thought, he let out a long breath as he put his hand inside the sleeve of his hanbok.
─Kil Seong-jun player. Yes, Minister Moon-Jun. This will be the last time.
The recapture war was not only made up of players participating in the battle.
Business groups were also supporting in some way before the recapture.
The influence of Sirius Group, whose main business is player devices, was considerable.
Therefore, the voice of the Changhae Clan, sponsored by Sirius Group, could not be ignored.
As long as this time.
There is no next.
Munjun glared at him with a gaze that made the viewer’s back bleed.
☆
The day before the recapture ceremony is held.
Eun-ha visited Julieta’s house in the middle of the night.
It was late, so Avenir might be sleeping.
He intended to quietly open the door and enter so that Avenir would not be disturbed.
But there was no need for that.
Because Avenir crawled out to the front door.
cadet. Aww.
hi. haven’t you slept yet?
Eunha bent her knees and met her gaze.
Avenir, now two years old, clapped and laughed at what was so good.
Then Avenir floated into the air.
Because Giulietta hugged her.
Ciao. Galaxy Boss. You don’t know how surprised I was to come late at night. Sorry for coming late at night. Is Uncle Bruno there? waiting in the room Excuse me.
However much. Shall our Abenir go to sleep with mom?
cadet!
Even in the middle of the night, Avenir was full of energy.
Eun-ha smiled at Avenir waving at her and went into the room where Bruno was waiting.
A room with only one lamp on.
Bruno was sitting on a sofa bathed in soft light.
Eunha nodded and sat down on the sofa opposite.
-I have a favor to ask of you.
You don’t even have to ask. Eunha You are our boss.
Even if you could die?
asked in a serious tone.
Even so, Bruno didn’t break the smile on his lips.
Galaxy. yes. I’m sure we would have lived the worst life without you then. …….
You saved our lives, the lives of Abenir.
So I can entrust my heart to you
……. Because you are our boss. …This seems like a very heavy burden.
Unable to find anything to say, Eunha shrugged.
To the point where it was colorless that I was seriously worried alone.
Eunha laughed bitterly at the trust Bruno gave her.
Please check if it suits you.
Then he put a large jewel on the table.
Jewels embracing the light of the lamp reflected the yellow brilliance.
hmm.
Bruno nodded lightly and poured mana into the skill stone.
The skill stone that absorbed mana seemed to have a yellow light for a moment——
and soon the light went out.
