Episode 137. Trust me (1)
[The Last Adventurer: You will not die on the Arcana Continent. Upon death, you return to reality immediately and cannot access the Arcana Continent for a certain period of time. – Cooldown: 24 hours]
Success in the [Seed of the World Tree] quest.
It was a title system that was opened as a reward.
It’s nothing else, it’s a reward from a world quest, but when I first checked the effect, I wondered if there was such a thing… How can the day come when I can use that effect?
‘Of course, it’s only when the [Map that connects to all things] is effective.’
I was pretty sure it was possible.
It’s nothing else, because it’s the spoils of the epic grade item demon lord.
Above all, the scene he witnessed in the [Crack in the Broken Dimension] was the basis.
[???]
An unknown demon also entered the rift with bare hands.
Offering the spoils of the devil as a sacrifice.
It should be possible to that extent, so it will be profitable.
“Time waits for no one.”
okay.
You said it well once in a while, Ho Yeol-ah.
Time was limited.
‘The state where Marcelo has reached his limit.’
Stepping on the land of the Arnaka continent…
I don’t think it’s earlier than I thought, but there is.
It is something that can never be postponed.
So, what I needed was a short amount of preparation.
It means that you have to go back to the beginning and struggle.
What I prepared was simple.
“Your tower application is on hold.”
To finish the chief’s work according to the priority procedure.
Anyway, this guy’s formality and procedures…!
I wished I had time for this.
If I don’t do it, it’s obvious that Marcelo will take over.
Didn’t you realize it from many social experiences?
There’s nothing more stressful than when you’re dealing with work that someone else has entrusted to you.
Rather, it could be something that cuts off Marcelo’s lifespan.
“I’m sorry. Elected Yusia in Velier.”
Why did you put aside Bellier’s application for a tower?
Simple.
Because I had no choice but to go to the Arcana Continent alone.
‘There must be no other living hell.’
Even if the decisive battle weapon, the Kürnberg Machine Tower, was activated, the seeds of a new world tree hatched, and the demons’ activities slowed down due to the demon king’s defeat. The Arcana Continent was already no different from a demon’s den.
‘It’s a dangerous place even for a senior in the Magic Tower.’
I don’t know if the whole magic tower is moving.
“It is the realm of the inferior race. I want to trample on you right now.”
always.
My snout talking as usual.
[Last Adventurer] If it wasn’t for the effect of the title, it would have been a reckless act.
Even if the abilities of the senior mages were beyond my imagination, even if it was said that demons would not be a problem for Bellier.
‘There’s no way to come back.’
The effect specified on the item.
There is even a saying that multiple people can teleport.
Because there was no way to come back again.
In addition, the moment the teleportation effect is activated, [Map that connects to all things] loses all effects.
This time, it means that it is impossible even if you want to buy insurance without backing.
Anyway, let’s start preparing fully.
‘First of all, it’s integrity and innocence…’
You have to pay for it as soon as you shut up!
I don’t know about Grandfel, but I still haven’t realized the spirit of non-possession, so I thought I would die of regret if I couldn’t use the [Map that connects to everything] to the fullest.
‘Of course, the top priority is.’
[Quest: Simuard family request].
to succeed in the quest.
Through him, Marcelo’s time-limiting curse is lifted.
is it possible
There was no concern.
I attribute this character to the profound and complex pride of Grandfel.
Because I understood you better than anyone else.
[He was the heir of a great family, but the family was ruined by the devil.
The only survivor of the family, Grandfell Cloudy Arpheus Romeo and younger, Grandfell walked the path of a demon hunter to take revenge on that devil.] Senios alone was enough for the sacrifice of the Mage Tower
.
Because I could feel the pride of Grandfel rising.
So my job was the same as always.
“A simple warm-up before brain rotation is helpful.”
—Train your weakened body. (Repeat) ▲
Running 35KM (success)
2500 push-ups (in progress)
1500 pull-ups (success)
700 burpees (success)
Now, the struggle begins.

Floating Garden.
black and green.
A mismatched pair sat across from each other at a table.
The first to speak was the green-haired Bellier.
“My application for tower removal was put on hold.”
Well—
Bellie involuntarily bit her lip.
He himself was aware that the purpose of the tower was not suitable.
However, I thought Chief Lee Ho-yeol would understand the seriousness of the situation.
“…because I don’t know how to do it. Can you give me a specific purpose?”
The curse of the time limit of the Simuard family.
Haeju was the purpose.
It is natural that they do not even know what the curse is.
But it wasn’t even a matter of self-blame.
Wouldn’t Seymourd have tried it?
Even so, it was the curse of the time limit that could not be escaped.
“It is not your responsibility. Appointed in Bellier.”
Matisse, the founder of black magic.
What was called a curse rather than magic in some regions was black magic before its establishment.
Thanks to this, Matisse had also heard about Seymourd’s curse of the time limit.
Beyond that, before entering the Mage’s Tower, there was a time when he faced Simuard’s blood relatives.
“It was neither magic nor black magic.”
A magic tool that responds to appropriate magic power.
Matisse touched the ring.
At that time, the color of the ring had not changed.
It was proof that the curse was not black magic.
“You can tell just by looking at his face. There may not be much time left.”
“If it’s the healing magic of senior Velier…”
“My healing magic?”
All of a sudden—
Bellie shook her head.
“It might be possible to just keep breathing. But unless the fundamental problem is solved, the curse of the time limit. It would be no different from necromancy.”
Matisse looked at the teacup.
The tea has been cold for a long time.
The calm water of the teacup only felt savage.
“?”
That moment.
A snort of laughter is heard all of a sudden.
When Matisse raised his head, Bellier was laughing.
with a more bitter expression.
“Idiot he is. Actually, it’s nothing new. Because Marcelo has been consistent since childhood. Watching from the sidelines, it was foolish to the point of annoyance. he is.”
“Chief Marcelo is frighteningly foolish…?”
“Senior Matisse, do you know what the annual event of the Simoard family is?”
“well. Speaking of annual events…”
It must happen every year.
If it’s something that happens every year in the Madou family…
Bellier added to Matisse who was worried.
“A memorial service.”
“…!”
“In the Seymourd family, blood relatives die every year.”
“this.”
I overlooked it.
The curse of the time limit is the curse of the blood family unit without exception.
It’s no wonder that each year there are victims of the curse.
Matisse asked curiously.
“But what does that have to do with foolishness?”
“I’ve never seen him sad.”
“…!”
“Ever since I was a child, every single memory related to him remains vivid. Even when my father passed away, even when those close to me passed away. Marcelo had never shed a tear.”
Bellier did not like Marcelo, who was reticent.
He’s like a good kid who calmly waits for his turn to come one day.
Bellier snorted again.
“look. It’s the same even now. What kind of meeting are you going to have with a body like that?”
Crystal Hall.
Marcelo was in the middle of a round table.
If you ask why they didn’t attend the meeting.
Because I couldn’t bear to see the weakened Marcelo.
‘It’s a concern.’
Matisse’s mouth was dry.
After all, is there no way?
It was the moment when he was about to reach for the teacup with a heavy heart.
“…?”
Again—
a ripple arose in the calm teacup.
The teacup was shaking slightly.
vibrations that gradually increase.
The source of the vibration is near.
“Bellie-sama!”
Healing school skilled mage Claire.
Wow——
Klee, who was rushing towards him, was startled.
I thought you were talking to senior Mathis.
“Sorry for interrupting the conversation…!”
“I have nothing to apologize for.”
“The story was over. It’s okay Claire. What is it?”
“Oh that!”
Was there an urgent situation within the healing school?
It’s not good to listen to other people’s problems.
The moment Matisse was about to get up from his seat.
“I guess I should tell you about the Crystal Hall Roundtable!”
round table?
The roundtable conference is still in full swing.
Bellier asked out of curiosity.
“Keep talking Claire.”
huh
take a deep breath
Soon Claire spoke.
“…I beg your pardon?”
But that was something I couldn’t have imagined.
“…Chief Lee Ho-yeol is entering the Arcana continent?”
Bellier and Matisse.
The two looked at each other without saying who was first.
How do you enter the Arcana continent?
I couldn’t figure out how.
But I could guess why.
“Could it be that the reason Chief Lee made the suspension decision is…”
Is it related to Marcelo?
It wasn’t the time to guess.
The three of them hurriedly headed to the Crystal Hall.
.
.
.
roundtable.
I declared in front of the crystal hall wizards.
“I plan to enter the Arcana Continent.”
It’s a very bold statement.
It is the seat of the chief who must protect the magic tower.
However, due to personal circumstances, I had to vacate.
The proper procedure is to ask for the understanding of all members of the Magic Tower.
It was.
Everything happened because of the pride of Grandfel, which values formality and procedures. But was it really necessary to say this at a roundtable?
‘It’s like bragging in front of the employees about using annual leave. this.’
It would have been enough to exchange parchment.
Besides, I haven’t yet confirmed whether the effect of the [Map that connects to all things] is effective. What if you can’t teleport to the Arcana continent?
‘I really hate to imagine the aftermath of that time.’
But there was no law that revealed the inside.
“It won’t be long to be away. So, I would like you to refrain from making requests related to me, including requesting a tower, for a few days. I hope for your understanding.”
…I hope for your understanding.
Grandfell, did you know you could say something like this?
I’m crazy about this.
Take a moment to admire again.
I realized in the flowing silence.
‘…I forgot my location for a while.’
The past suddenly comes to mind.
When the manager said he wanted the employees to understand, there must have been a damn good reason. But damn class society. It was an experience that I had no choice but to lay down.
This was only a verbal request for understanding, but in fact it was only a one-sided declaration.
yeah i was wondering what was going on If you take away the pride, there’s no way I’ll be able to spit out the word understanding to a corpse-like personality….
“There’s no need for that, Chief Lee.”
It was Marcelo who broke the silence.
Is the rank insignia still the same?
Marcelo continued with a questioning face.
“While you are away, I will take care of the work for you…”
No, otherwise there would be no reason for me to seek out the Arcana continent.
“I refuse.”
“…yes? You refuse.”
“I will say it again. No one can fill my vacancy.”
That’s what I always feel, though.
Even if the mouth is crooked, I wonder if it can be crooked like this.
Just say you’ll come back and deal with it.
You spit it out so grandiosely and harshly.
Still, thanks to that, it seemed that my intention was conveyed clearly.
“I got it.”
Silence flowed again at Marcelo’s answer—
but the silence didn’t last long. Because it was the Mage Tower that started a new round table meeting and learned about the existence of demons and the current status of the Arcana continent.
Mumbles—
sounds that you can hear even if you don’t pay attention.
“…How are you going to enter the Arcana Continent?”
“Did you discover something new?”
“But even if it were possible, it would be too dangerous!”
Even the World Tree feels threatened and sows new seeds.
The Arcana Continent is in danger of extinction.
Because I said I would enter such a living hell.
It is natural to send concerns.
“No matter how much you call Chief Lee Ho-yeol…”
Someone raised a hand amidst the commotion.
What a familiar face.
It was Banglet Tom, a senior in pure magic science.
Even in this situation, you have the formality.
As expected, it is effective to learn something strictly once you learn it.
I nodded in satisfaction without knowing it, and Bangrit said.
“I don’t doubt the chief’s ability, but will you be okay by yourself? As the Chief knows better than anyone else, the Arcana Continent is currently…”
My eyes focused on Bangrit’s question.
Kiki—
even the gazes of Matisse and Bellier, who entered the Crystal Hall belatedly. Are you really entering the Arcana Continent alone? Did the liver come out of the boat?
each one thinks
“As I said, I will enter the Arcana Continent alone.”
But there is no need to look at me pitifully.
In Grandfel’s words, it should be called ‘arrangement’.
Even if I’m like this.
‘There are some reliable reinforcements on the Arcana Continent.’
Highel. And the spirit of darkness.
The flying boat of the Dwarves that should be flying over Arcana.
finally.
Even Akshan’s decisive battle weapon, the Kürnberg Machine Tower.
[Experience points are accumulated in the Kürnberg mechanical tower,
the decisive battle weapon.] [Fame is accumulated in the Kürnberg mechanical tower, the decisive battle weapon.]
[Accumulated experience points and acquisition rights for fame are acquired.
] Experience and fame were not forgotten either.
So, even if I was lonely when I entered the Arcana continent, it meant that I was not alone when I entered.
But this guy’s habit.
You weren’t kind enough to explain the specific situation.
“But you have nothing to worry about.”
All I had to do was add.
“Trust me.”
