Chapter 73
July is when the hot summer begins. The second graduation ceremony is being prepared at the Manshinjeon building.
Your Majesty are you here?
The ones preparing for the graduation ceremony are Queen Beatrice and Yaffi. They took charge of the entire graduation ceremony for the second trainees.
You came back late last night. Did you finish the test strategy well?
“Yes it was the Orc Gate.
but?
Beatrice whispered in Leon’s ear with a slightly troubled expression.
Lord Yapi treated the orcs quite mercilessly. Even among the trainees some were a bit intimidated.
Hmm… I see. But no problem. If it’s not to the extent of discussing inefficiency wouldn’t it be appropriate to be angry with the beast?
“If you think about it that makes sense.”
Beatrice was immediately convinced when she substituted the orc for the devil.
“We decided to simplify the graduation ceremony but we decided to leave it to Lord Yapi.”
“Wouldn’t it be okay for you to do it?”
“If I do it the trainees… a difficult situation will unfold.”
Beatrice smiled bitterly through her veil. Leon nodded his head without speaking.
Certainly her delusion has been linked to the essence of corruption and has reached a level where she dazzles people with just the sound of her breath.
Even if the face was covered with a veil encouragement from close range would break the will of the soldiers.
Lord Spinner will do just fine.
A week ago the story of a private equity fund or something that collapsed due to the war did not come out again so it seems that it has recovered.
Leon also had a time as a resident of this district but he lived in a time far away from finance. The financial crisis he remembered was about the IMF so need I say more?
At the graduation ceremony Leon shrugged his shoulders as he watched Yapi attaching badges to the 2nd class trainees.
“It seems that Sir Spinner is more adapted to Earth than Jim.”
I bet His Majesty couldn’t adapt better than me?
How dare you joke about it. From what I’ve seen I’ve come a couple of months earlier than you.
Beatrice smiled and showed her smartphone. It is the latest rollable smartphone. Leon who can’t adapt to a touch-type smartphone and makes Hari hold the phone instead has no choice but to be silent.
You seem to have adapted quickly so I feel relieved. You are better than Jim.
“Your Majesty is acclimatizing himself to Earth so how can I be better?”
When Leon received a rollable smartphone from Viche he shook his head saying he did not know how to use it to browse the Internet or watch videos.
Then what about Sir Spinner?
I heard that you hacked the communication station because it was a very uncivilized means of communication?
“…I wonder if this is injustice.”
Yapi also made the illegally modified Wi-Fi amplification receiver installed in the Mansinjeon. It seems that rumors have spread quite a bit among tourists.
“By the way what happened to the courtesy ‘him’?”
It’s still in the middle of maturing. It’s been quite tough. It’s thanks to the energy of the evil spirit that still remains.
If necessary I’ll let Jim help. If I peel off the skin on my face will I be able to hold on?
Beatrice shook her head and politely refused.
I can’t entrust such a job to an honorable knight. I’ll do the dirty work. Unexpectedly professional? But I guarantee it. It will yield valuable information to your Majesty.
The sorcerer queen didn’t bother to say what a terrifying process it would take.
It’s a pity that I can’t watch it in the first class.
She said huhuhu and smiled grimly. To this Leon laughs as if in response.
The laughter of the two seemed vicious to the point of being frightening to the viewer.
* * * *
The Dragon Palace appeared.
Unlike the gate on the ground if a dungeon breaker occurs in the sea it is close to impossible to solve.
This is because no matter how powerful a hunter is there are activity restrictions in the sea.
Moreover considering the sea creatures contaminated with magical energy resolving the aftermath of the Dungeon Breaker is a long way off.
Therefore the Hunter Association has the right to urgently enlist powerful hunters when the appearance of the Sea Gate is confirmed.
Are you here Hunter Lee Yong-wan?
It’s been a while President.
Lee Yong-wan the guild leader of the Firebird Guild came to the Hunter Association where the conscription order was issued along with Hayuri the deputy guild leader.
“Hayuri Hunter is also here.”
hello.
Yuri Ha bowed her head. She put on her mask and looked around her.
But can’t you see the others?
At Lee Yong-wan’s question Oh Kang-hyeok shrugged.
This East Sea Gate will receive support from the United States. Therefore the other guilds will remain as a preliminary attack in preparation for the odds.
Lee Yong-wan’s mouth twisted at the words of the president Oh Kang-hyeok.
“Are we the first to be conscripted? There are many other great guilds right?”
It’s hard to find a guild as good as the Phoenix Guild.
The aftermath of the Jeju Island gate is still left.
It’s already been a month so I believe you’ve already recovered. Heh heh heh.
‘Damn inspiration.’
Lee Yong-wan realized the intention of the president of the association. this is a penalty
Regarding the manipulations that took place at the Honam Pyeongya Gate last time.
It must have been the most active in the tax exemption bill for large guilds and they wanted to openly penalize the Phoenix Guild which took action. It was safe to say that it was a warning to everyone.
‘Now come and come out hard. I have a corner to believe in.’
Iron Oh Kang-hyeok. At one time he was a three-legged swordsman of the New Swords Guild and the Infinity Sword of the Cheongseong Guild but he became the oldest and weakest first-generation Hunter.
He is a civil servant who has to face a teenage guild that has grown too much.
Needless to say he came out so strong against the 10th guild the Phoenix Guild.
I’m sure they won’t send us alone. Is the president’s trump card coming out?
He’s a trump card. He’s not the kind of person who can evaluate someone like me.
‘I guess so.’
If it were the former self he would have thought that the president of the association had made some kind of secret agreement with Leon or brought him into his power.
However he witnessed the ignorance of the Holy Grail Knights at the gate of Jeju Island.
Geobrick and Leon too… Saints who are confident that they have been chosen by God are not the ones who will listen to human commands.
Eh~
What isn’t it self-employed?
Ha Yu-ri says something to Lee Yong-wan who sits down with a sigh. Yong-Wan gives her a disapproving look but her Yuri only shrugs her shoulders.
And while the two wait in the waiting room one of the association’s staff hurries to report.
The president of the association. A VIP has visited. He is coming.
Hmm…! I see.
At that the president of the association Oh Kang-hyeok checked that the suit and tie were not messed up then took out a hairbrush and even tidied up his hair.
‘How are you?’
Anyone who sees it will know that they are seeing the opposite line. what a fuss While Yongwan thought so the president of the association stared at him.
What what is it?
Hunter Lee Yong-wan if it’s not rude would you like to tidy up the messy clothes?
…why?
“It would be disrespectful to the one who is about to visit.”
Yes?
What the hell is this old man talking about… It was at this time that Yongwan’s expression became grotesque.
With a rattle the door opened and a handsome blond-haired man was guided by the staff. Oh Kang-hyeok runs in a hurry to him whom Manager Kim Jin-soo and Assistant Manager Han Ha-ri chase after like an attendant.
“Thank you for visiting Your Majesty.”
Leon Dragonia Lionheart. He looked down at the head of the association Oh Kang-hyeok who was bowing down and spoke arrogantly.
If you made the king’s parade there must be a reason for doing so.
Of course. I’m ashamed of you for taking such a heavy step.
After receiving the warm welcome from the president of the association Leon naturally sat down in the seat of honor. Suk I hear a sound coming up next to me. It was Hayuri.
Why are you standing up?
Do you think you should?
Yongwan frowned at Ha Yu-ri who stood up when Leon came. Not just glass. The president of the association didn’t even sit down and stood next to Leon as if he was a waitress.
The only one sitting in this seat is Yongwan.
-Aren’t you up?
All eyes turned to Yongwan. no why what? That nobleman was a king in another world is he a king here too?
-Are you really not up?
Yongwan couldn’t stand it for 10 seconds and stood up. It wasn’t until he got up that Leon opened his mouth.
Report.
The attitude of treating them thoroughly as if they were subordinates was staggering but no one was there to tackle them.
Yes Your Majesty. Last evening around 11:00. We observed the magic of the gate on the East Coast.
The head of the association personally uploaded the data as if reporting to a superior and pointed out a map of the East Coast.
It’s 8km south of Ulleungdo here. It’s completely in the sea and touches Japan’s maritime waters.
And it is certain that there is a gate in the sea with cross information observed by the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and the US Fleet.
If you are in the sea why don’t you just go out to the sea and attack? I couldn’t take care of the garden in my garden so I had to carry my luggage.
I’m sorry Your Majesty. It’s embarrassing but it’s difficult to even reach the gate let alone attacking the gate.
The president of the association added additional weather information.
A typhoon is approaching. Of course it is going to pass through the direction where the gate is located. It is so strong that only warships can barely approach it.
How to wait for the typhoon to pass?
Time is running out. Unlike other gates Dragon Palace Gate… The gates that appear in the sea are not only difficult to attack but also require quick action.
However for the typhoon to pass we have to wait until four days later. This is a risk that is difficult to bear.
If the first raid team fails the dungeon break may occur before the second raid team is dispatched due to the tight time.
And the dungeon break that takes place at sea will lead to catastrophe so you must attack it quickly and perfectly.
I know that you are risking the prestige of the country. But as with the affairs in Cheongju and Jeju Island you seem to know Jim as the country’s gardener.
Absolutely not…! How can I take Your Majesty lightly?
“What is it? Even in this small country if there are many heroes of their own what is the reason for finding luggage first?”
Of course Oh Kang-hyeok was able to conscript other hunters ahead of Leon.
In the case of Yonggung Gate the association had the right to force conscription so they could mobilize the strongest guilds in Korea such as the Shingeom Guild or the Cheongseong Guild.
Of course whether these guilds would respond obediently is another matter.
Lee Yong-wan looked forward to how the president of the association would persuade this tricky nobleman.
Your Majesty how can the rich in this small land compare to you? Compared to you most of this land is no different from the common people.
‘No this nobleman?!’
Are you trying to cut us down?
“Your Majesty this is an opportunity to raise the honor of the Lion Heart King!
Perhaps Leon didn’t like Oh Kang-hyeok’s honey-stained tongue but he smiled and opened his mouth.
Well that’s good. However the king’s procession is a heavy law. You’ll have to prepare a proper tribute.
Do you have any wishes?
Oh Kang-hyeok president of the association glanced at Leon. If this survivor wants something they will support you wherever possible but it’s also important to know what they want.
Kings don’t count pennies. See Sir Spinner for details.
Um…
Naturally I came up with a blank check. Oh Kang-hyeok smiled bitterly saying that it was not easy.
* * * *
Leon’s attack on the East Sea Gate has been decided.
Although Leon had attacked numerous gates this was the first time in a special situation like the Yonggung Gate.
Attack teams are recruited from Korea Japan and the United States and even warships are mobilized.
Only a limited number of people could enter each guild so Leon looked closely and counted the number of participants.
This raid is conducted in small groups due to the nature of the gate. From now on those who are called by name will come out one by one.
The first to be called was the Yakt Spinner and the Yakt Spinner which shows an all-around response in any situation is the first priority.
Next were Han Suho and Kim Jaehyuk. It was only natural that he was called because of his power as a pilgrim knight.
Then the names of the cadets were called including the new cadet Koo Dae-seong. A total of ten knight cadets. And in Man at Arms 20 people are called.
huh?
Hari and Soyeon were the first to question it. Harry raised his hand.
“Uh… Your Majesty. Among the people you called there isn’t a single ‘woman’?”
Maybe gender discrimination? Ay~ Hari knew that Leon was like an unreasonable racist but subtly he wasn’t.
Even though women are divided into ladies and women there is no one who differentiates between men and women in organizing raids like this–
It’s illegal to ride a woman on a boat.
????
It was a very different reason.
