Episode 255. Call it a legend (2)
The swan on the lake is always noble.
Even while struggling.
On the outside, it never shows off.
If you ask me what I’m talking about all of a sudden…
I look like a swan right now.
The morning sunlight hits the desk in the office.
I shamelessly opened my mouth.
“You’re later than usual.”
oh my god.
Am I the only one who scolds Taeyang for being lazy…?
Rather, on the subject of staying up all night.
Don’t pretend to wake up early Grandfel.
Dalkak─
Start the day with green tea and look back on the night.
I didn’t even have time to catch my breath.
In particular, the training quest that started at dawn felt particularly arduous.
‘I almost cried out of sadness, really.’
[Stubbornness: 3]
Increased tenacity by 1 point.
I wish the system wouldn’t even recognize my high school students.
I might have really cried.
Don’t say that grown ups are rude.
‘You’ll know it’s not a bad thing if you try it yourself.’
There is a saying that when you are young, you can go through hardships.
Because I know that all these high school students become blood and flesh. No matter how hard it was, I could endure it. But what even I can’t stand is…
“Is it the start of a new day?”
This shamelessness of pretending nothing is wrong!
It is unfair.
Do you want to go beyond unfair things and ask questions?
It’s just that there’s a certain degree of consistency.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
Isn’t this enough for a grown man, Grand Fell?
Ordinary people like me would suffer and die of injustice.
But it wasn’t just once or twice.
“There will be no hesitation.”
I am also in the stage of resignation.
No, rather than resignation….
Maybe I thought ahead.
‘I hope that stubbornness will be broken.’
for me.
It’s just that I try to turn my head a little bit.
As I spit out, it was me who finished the 15 days worth of work in one day.
[The last adventurer] The effect of the penalty must have ended.
Without hesitation, I must enter the Arcana Continent.
‘Because I have a new goal.’
This time, I wanted to return to reality as quickly as possible.
In fact, the last time was an unusual case.
The dimensional rift and the effect of absolute zero overlapped without me knowing.
It was because the time of 15 days had passed.
‘Two months in arcana time.’
Let’s see when considering the passage of time.
This time, no matter how late it was, he planned to return within a day in real time.
I definitely felt it while dealing with the overdue routine.
“It’s a situation where I feel regretful even for a moment.”
I thought I wouldn’t be able to vacate even for a day from now on.
‘Spit in my face
.
Isn’t it a lot of work to take on? In particular, it is safe to say that the daily routine has doubled at the point of carrying the review for permission to use the connector.
Dreuk-
So like this.
I have no choice but to kick off my office chair and get up.
Before opening the portal to the Arcana continent, of course.
There are a few things to finish.
Yes everything is according to procedure.
Garnet Hall.
First, you have to return the magic tools you borrowed.
It’s not that I’m going to return all the magic tools.
As much as the class quest came to mind.
You never know what will happen in Sisley.
“Some return. Some will extend the rental period.”
It’s just because of the strict pride that can’t ignore the procedure.
Is it because I said everything from the beginning?
Skilled mage Laran groped the horse’s tail.
“Hello Chief Lee Ho-yeol! We will return the magic tools you handed over. But wouldn’t it be necessary to extend the rental period of the rest of the magic tools…?”
Charleuk—
and then he opened the parchment booklet.
It shows the rental period I wrote down in my handwriting.
It was definitely written with my own handwriting.
──────
Rental Period: Until the moment of death.
──────
I suddenly become aware.
…At this point, maybe I’m doing something troublesome for myself?
It’s at the level of going out and spreading things that others will misunderstand.
‘It’s all your fault, Grandfel.’
In that sense, I feel unfair once again.
But is there any star?
This too must be the fault of my youth that I have to bear.
I said lightly.
“Yes. The rental period has expired, so I will extend it.”
It’s a natural enough thing to say.
The fact that I froze to death on the Arcana continent is only known to me. Even the dragons who watched my last in the dragon temple didn’t know that I froze to death.
It just made a clicking
sound.
I just said it disappeared without a trace somewhere.
A death that even the dragon did not know about.
A death that was not even known to the enemy.
I never thought I’d say it with my mouth so calmly.
At this point, it’s not pride, it’s scratching and swelling.
“yes? What do you mean…?”
I understand that you must be a little embarrassed.
However, this personality is also to the extent that it explains the situation in detail.
It’s because I’m not kind.
Ssuk–
I just re-specified the rental period with a feather pen.
This time, please be quiet and save money.
Grand Fel.
“One day would be enough.”
“…yes yes!”
Let’s see, except for one magic tool.
The return or rental period extension has been completed.
If someone asks me where I sold the rest of it…
I have no choice but to say it without shame.
“As for the white elytra, we proceed according to the procedure.”
“Oh yes! But… this is the first time that the exported magic tools have been lost! It says that the reason must be clearly stated in the procedure…”
There is no such thing as too difficult to say.
Because I was willing to pay my taxes anyway.
Even if it’s not that, as long as it’s a procedure.
“A law in which there should be no exceptions to the procedure. Good job, Laran skilled mage.”
can i refuse
“Thank you for your understanding!”
I spoke directly to Laran, who lowered her head.
“I came to hand over my white elytra to those who use their wings more skillfully than me and need them more than I do.”
“…yes?”
How come there is no law to follow the 5-W-Ha principle, Grandfel.
You have a knack for putting the right words in a grandiose way.
Whichever way you look at it, it’s not wrong.
“I don’t know if I’m presumptuously interfering with the chief about the magic enchantment skilled wizard…! There is no one who can properly use the white elytra as well as Chief Lee Ho-yeol, even after scouring the entire Arcana continent. I heard from Chief Marcelo about it!”
Embarrassingly, you gave me such a high evaluation, Marcelo.
Actually, the effect of the white elytra is custom level for me.
However, unlike in the past, now there is less need to suffer from magical powers.
It’s not even a so desperate magic tool for me.
‘Like I just said.’
rather than me
It’s a magic tool desperately needed by Yunaxus who lost his wings.
So, I said it without hesitation.
“That’s not wrong either.”
“That’s right.”
“However, those who have lost their wings will use them most valuablely.”
“…what if the one who lost his wings?”
“It refers to an old dragon that has lost its wings.”
A dragon that came out of nowhere.
Laran’s eyes widen at the word “noryong”.
I fully understand the feeling of surprise.
But I still spoke boldly.
“With this as a start, we might be able to resolve the sediment of the Great War of the Dragon Demon.”
“…!”
Praise the cubic this time, Grandfel.
Mage Tower and Dragon.
From now on, we should get along well.
Why is the white elytra a symbol of reconciliation?
Besides, if there is such a justification…
‘…couldn’t we just skip it?’
He should be able to avoid the responsibility of losing magic tools.
It’s not for nothing that people say that you pay a thousand dollars in debt.
Certainly, it seems that there is a little more here than a simple loss, right?
‘Even if I can’t get over it.’
Integrity innocence.
Isn’t it me who doesn’t even spend money like a dog.
Even if it’s a magic tool that makes billions of sounds, there’s no reason to worry about compensation.
Soon I walked out of Garnet Hall with a lighter step.
‘Now I just have to wait for Harkon.’
If you ask me why I’m waiting for Harkon at the Mage’s Tower.
This is because the connector is in the Crystal Hall of the Mage Tower.
Yes.
It was the first time I got permission to use the connector.
Because it was Harkon, the leader of the Knights of Lion Heart.
*
Harkon’s eyes shone brightly.
“I understand what you mean.”
The words were spoken in a benevolent voice, but those eyes were filled with the spirit of a beast. It had to be. Because the woman he was facing now was not someone he could fully trust.
“I’m just grateful that you noticed.”
long black hair.
Although sometimes our eyes meet.
Soon, he turns his gaze elsewhere.
“Haha…”
That’s not enough, he laughs awkwardly.
If someone is watching this scene.
He would evaluate the woman as having shrunk a lot in front of him.
But Harkon knew.
‘It’s a great eye treatment.’
The opponent is the worst criminal in the history of the empire.
The fact that he is the leader of the shadow mercenaries.
Harkon looked at Kichi in silence.
There is a huge bounty on that neck.
A huge amount of money that could buy several small kingdoms.
If you ask if such a bounty could have been attached to the head of a mere mercenary.
‘It’s enough to list only the big events.’
Assassination of aristocrats, contract killings, robbery of treasure…
Such things do not belong to the axis of evil in the standard of the shadow mercenaries.
Before the empire unified the continent.
Since the Warring States period, the shadow mercenaries have been the giants of the underworld.
Harkon dared to assure.
‘Before the devil appeared. The ones closest to the devil.’
The evil deeds of the shadow mercenaries in the past were comparable to those of the devil. However, the reason why Harkon was talking to Kichi at this moment was simple.
Harkon pondered over the conversation.
– “Can I ask you something?”
– “Yes, as much as you like!”
– “Do you regret the past?”
– “Suddenly? Umm, if you ask me if I regret it…”
Kitsch continued in a bitter voice.
– “…Yes, I regret it. Nothing more.”
Harkon remembered Hoyeol.
‘If it’s Kyung, it’s clear…’
They probably wouldn’t dwell on their past.
Although the devil has no mercy.
Because it is infinitely generous to human beings.
Just look at why the decision to join the Shadow Mercenaries into the Crusade Alliance.
It was safe to say that Ho-yeol trusted them.
So, Harkon nodded.
“Good. I will give you a chance kitsch.”
“…Are you serious?”
“of course.”
“Wow!”
It was only then that Kichi met Harkon’s eyes.
“You must have been more concerned about the safety of the Empire and the emperor than anyone else… Sorry for asking you too much, Captain Harkon!”
“No, I just confirmed through the sir that Antonium and His Majesty are all right. It might be just greed to want to see it with my own eyes.”
“I will definitely bring it back because of Captain Harkon’s consideration!”
The reason why Harkon gave Kichi the chance to enter the Arcana continent was simple. It was because the purpose of Kichi’s entry seemed to be helpful to the allied forces of Hoyeol and Holy Temple.
Harkon added to Kichi.
“I hope you get that request back.”
.
.
.
“It’s a clear breach of procedure.”
Instead of Harkon, I looked at Kichi who appeared in the Crystal Hall.
If it was the usual Grandfel temperament.
I would have sent Kichi back right away.
“…I apologize for not meeting the deadline.”
But Kitsch’s purpose was certainly valid.
──────
Purpose: Accessing the shadow mercenary hideout / Acquiring the request ledger
──────
Why did the request ledger smell?
‘It’s a gigantic request.’
It’s a thick devilish smell.
If only you followed the procedure.
To the extent that it was adopted before Harkon’s application.
According to Kitsch’s explanation.
It was said that the request had been written in the ledger for a long time.
Kitsch smiled shyly.
“Because it seems that the previous captains accepted it so much… It was always a top priority request. Of course, I haven’t been able to succeed until now.”
If you confirm that it is the request ledger.
It seemed like I could get a lot of information about the evil.
Above all, Harkon made concessions.
No matter how important the procedure is, let’s put up with it, Grandfel.
Sometimes you need to be flexible.
I struggled to open my mouth.
“I can’t give up Harkon’s pride.”
I continued talking to Kichi, who lowered his head.
“The given time is four days based on the arcana.”
I was thinking of returning to reality within 24 hours at the latest.
At that time, the two-person portal had to be manifested, even by squeezing mana.
‘Raymon Sean is a dark-hearted bastard.’
What is a one-way trip?
The connector didn’t have a logout function.
So keep that in mind, kitsch.
Due to the nature of Grandfel, if you are late for an appointment, you will be able to leave it behind.
The place to reunite is the front gate of Antonium.
I watched Kichi lay down on the connector.
Soon, the light of the portal emanated from the connector.
Kitsch was nowhere to be seen.
I also immediately squeezed out my mana and opened the portal.
‘But it’s the second time, so I’m getting used to it.’
I walked straight through the portal.
and faced
With messages emerging in the dark.
[You have entered the continent of Arcana, where legends are shaking.]
…The entry message has changed?
On a continent headed for destruction.
To a continent where legends shake.
while i’m gone
I was wondering if something had happened.
I soon realized
[The legend system is open.]
…Could it be that the shaking legend was my story?
[Learn the legendary ‘Dark Dragon Lee Ho-yeol’.]
But what?
Dark Dark Dragon Lee Ho Oh Oh Yeo Yeo Yeo Yeo?!
…Who the hell said I’m a dark dragon?!
I tried so hard, but here’s the back of my head…!!
No, more than that…
[Your legend materializes.]
How terrible is this that the bizarre legend materializes?!
