Episode 20. Existence of love and hate (1)
High kill contribution.
Thanks to that, it was to check the automatically acquired loot.
But the first thing that caught my eye was the necklace.
devil’s item.
The necklace that was chosen as a sacrifice for the exorcism ceremony.
Of course I thought it would have evaporated…
[Necklace of noble promise]
[Rating: Rare
] [Limit
: Lv .
necklace for lovers The desire for the other person to be safe has magical powers, and it has an excellent effect.]
There was.
Even with the curse lifted.
‘Did the exorcism ceremony replace the purification work?’
To think I had to offer the first rare item I had acquired as a sacrifice.
It’s because of the setting of Grandfel, who doesn’t cling to rich movies.
I couldn’t express it, but how sick I was!
But if this is the case, the words are different.
In addition, the effect that ‘intermediate protection’ is activated when hit.
Even if it’s not a jackpot, wouldn’t it be about winning?
[Vampire Count’s Orb]
[Grade: Unique]
[Limit: Lv.400]
[Effect: Sealed]
[Description: The effect was sealed by the devil’s curse. It must be purified in order to know the proper effect.]
That was also a sufficient achievement, even a unique item.
Let’s admit it.
This was nothing short of surprising.
But I don’t seem to have any agitation.
He shifted his unwavering gaze.
of.
It was a bright red sphere.
It was swaying as if it were filled with red blood.
This is also a devil’s item.
The effect was sealed, so I wasn’t sure what kind of item it was yet.
But what is certain is that the grade is [Unique].
It is also a unique item with a 400 level limit.
…Wouldn’t this sell very expensive?
I couldn’t help but feel that way.
It reminds me of the articles I saw passing by in the past.
You said hundreds of millions of billions of dollars come and go for one item, maybe?
But that thought didn’t last long.
Do you pass yours on to others?
just to make money?
Because Grandfell’s lofty pride couldn’t tolerate it.
But it didn’t feel sad.
400 levels.
Why?
To the number that should feel distant right now.
Because I felt like I could definitely reach it.
Is it because of the simple self-confidence of childhood?
No, this was also a conviction based on evidence.
I opened the status window.
[Name: Grandfell Cloudy Arpheus Romeo]
[Class: Demon Hunter]
[Level: 134]
[Ability Level]
Strength: 27 / Agility: 33 / Magical Power: 51 / Luck: 2
[Possessed Points: 34]
Count Ascura Experience gained by hunting.
Despite sharing the experience with the cone hat, the level rose by a whopping 34.
Leveling up 34 all at once in Arcana’s experience system.
…This is a new record.
In addition to that level rise.
-Hunt the vampires. (In progress) ▲
●Notify that the hunt has begun. (Success)
●Let them feel the fear of being hunted. (Success)
Hunt the vampires. (success)
up to the class quest.
because there are reasons for that.
I was able to stand upright as I do now.
Even in front of acquired items.
“and! What is this?”
Even in front of that cone-shaped hat, which has reached a level that I can’t touch as of now.
By the way…
I moved my gaze and looked at the cone hat.
so what is that
Tuk-tuk—
she touched the ashes Count Ascura with her staff.
Even if it was ashes, I wondered if it would be just a handful.
However, smoke was constantly rising from the wreckage.
“It doesn’t smell like anything!”
The brow wrinkled without my knowledge.
Although there was also the influence of Grandfel, who could not die with dignity.
There is nothing different about my feelings.
No, you don’t have to sniff it up to your nose…
but it was definitely strange.
It was too clear to just call it acting.
As if you could see the smoke from afar.
It was the moment I thought so.
“!”
The quest window flickered.
[Class Quest: Pregnancy]
The prelude has risen and the beacon has risen.
The last demon hunter.
Light up a world covered in evil.
—Train your weakened body. (Repeat)
From ‘The Beginning of Counterattack’ to ‘Feeding’.
There was progress in the class quest.
I was convinced while reading the quest window that popped up.
That smoke wasn’t rising for nothing.
There were no immediate goals other than physical training.
As it has been so far, the quest will start on its own when the right time comes.
Well, let’s think of it as personal maintenance time until then.
As much as I felt the gap, I needed time to struggle.
“proposal!!”
Then a popular chuckle was heard.
Is that the name of Jesse’s conical hat?
It was definitely a name I had heard of somewhere.
Was it because of the lightning that Jesse had summoned anyway?
Players flocked one after another.
Then I was horrified.
“Earl Ascura? Where are you? Can’t you see?”
“for a moment. Jessie, the one you’re touching with your cane. what is that?”
“…What is it? Jesse, can you?!”
Stare—
Jesse looked at me without answering.
Thanks to that, everyone’s eyes were focused on me.
It was Jesse who cautiously opened his mouth.
“Courtesy… I’m not sure, but I’ll try my best!”
What follows is an unexpected self-introduction.
“My name is Jesse Heinness! If it’s not rude, may I ask your name!”
I looked around for that question.
It was definitely different from the battle in the square.
…knock.
Everyone held their breath and focused on me.
Just like Jesse.
All of them must be players who have reached a great level.
Such great people are waiting for my words to fall.
…It’s definitely a situation that should be burdensome.
I was rather satisfied with their attitude.
It was a feeling of formality in that restrained silence.
It must have been something I could never have imagined just a short time ago.
But there is no illusion.
This change is also my dark history.
Because I know it was me.
So, the answer was not difficult.
“I am Lee Ho-yeol.”
*
Lee Ho-yeol.
An unknown player who hunted Count Ascura with Jesse Heinness.
It was only natural that the three-letter name spread throughout the world.
It was an activity that is difficult to describe in words.
“Earl Ascura’s level was a whopping level 430. Above all, most of the predictions were that he would be stronger than that level. But to hunt that Count Ascura alone, just the two of us!”
“It must be a surprise to the world beyond Korea. How is it?”
“Actually, the overseas response is very hot.”
VBC’s signature program Today Arcana.
It took a while for the expert panel to speak passionately.
“cue.”
At the same time as PD Hyun Yong-seok’s autograph, the data screen comes to mind.
Hyun Yong-seok sighed as he took off his headset.
“Really, what should I do with you?”
Next to him was Yoon Jong-jin, the camera director.
Yoon Jong-jin scratched his head.
“No senior. Did you really not have time to think about it? Change your position and think about it. I’m chasing after Gaon Guild. Oh, the castle suddenly collapsed? That’s not enough, so I rumble! Lightning strikes there!”
Close your eyes gently.
Likewise, Hyun Yong-seok sends a sign to continue.
Then, excuses that are not excuses follow.
“Wow, I thought I was going to die like this. It will be the same whether you die like this or die because you missed the scoop. I wanted to, so I ran anyway. I ran… and that’s where Jesse Heinness is. but what is this Do you have that silver hair back then?”
“so.”
“I felt my heart drop. How broken have I been with you? I missed it during Berserker and the square battle broke out right away. This is an opportunity not to be missed. This time, I will do my best to get an interview. So…”
“So?”
So, is this the only thing you picked up?
[I am Lee Ho-yeol.]
Hyeon Yong-seok had a thousand dollars inside him.
It’s an opportunity that doesn’t come easily.
But who to blame?
“…Yes, I must have been in no mood to ask properly.”
Who would have thought that I would only say my real name there in the first place!
Access the Arcana official website.
No matter how much I searched on the ranking page, there was no result.
The player nicknamed ‘Lee Ho-yeol’ is.
Of course there had to be.
But I just used the same nickname.
It was said that it was not the real Lee Ho-yeol.
“…Really, what are you doing?”
How many incidents involving Lee Ho-yeol in New Rift?
From the first clear of the Berserker Guild’s new crack.
A common frontline with Gaon and Inazuma.
Even Reid, Earl of Askura with Jesse Heinness.
Even just one of them could have boosted his share price tremendously.
Ranker from obscurity.
no more than that.
That means you can raise your price.
But the only words I left were…
[Get out of the way. It’s the limit of patience.]
[I can’t find any formality.]
[Therefore, I won’t take any questions.]
[I’m Lee Ho-yeol.]
That was all!
Even the name he revealed was not an Arcana nickname, but a real name or a pseudonym.
In the meantime, I’ve seen all kinds of celebrity players while rolling at the broadcasting station.
“I’m seeing it for the first time too. I should stop blaming you. now.”
Yes, it wasn’t the first time seeing Hyun Yong-seok.
There was nothing different about the players.
*
“Brother. I still think you’re lucky.”
“…What’s good about it?”
Ho-yeol’s stock price soared to the ceiling.
I realized that it was practically impossible for Gaon to have such a passion.
Cheol-Min Nam was lying on the sofa with a sense of loss.
Nam Tae-min shrugged his shoulders at that hyung.
“People’s eyes. Doesn’t that mean you’re still alive?”
“what? I didn’t expect it to be like that either.”
“No, it’s not common sense, so it’s not your fault.”
However, Hoyeol’s recruiting war was not yet over.
Taemin Nam took out his smartphone and picked it up.
“Even if the odds are low, we have the most advantage. We have Ho-yeol’s number. And there are geondeokji that you can approach very formally.”
“…are you okay?”
“Why the loot obtained from the Battle of the Square?”
The knights of Count Ascura who were defeated in the square.
Gaon had obtained spoils from them.
It was like sharing half with Inazuma.
Still, the quantity and quality were significant.
“If it wasn’t for Mr. Hoyeol’s performance, we wouldn’t have been able to get those trophies. They said they would share the loot as much as their performance. Isn’t that polite and formal?”
Nam Cheol-min was worried.
in terms of action.
Ho-yeol was not simply a person influenced by money.
That could be seen just by looking at his actions so far.
But there was a good reason for this.
Soon, enthusiasm flared up in Nam Chul-min’s eyes again.
“…Taemin. From now on, you are my brother.”
Shining Guild.
Camilla asked, stroking her red curls.
“proposal. You really don’t know~?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“Are you really going to pretend like that?”
Camilla knew Jesse’s abilities better than anyone else.
Chosen Mage.
Because she was the one who watched Jesse’s firepower up close than anyone else.
Even so, this Count Ascura raid was close to impossible.
“I don’t know. Don’t ask me.”
persistent question.
Jesse didn’t tell anyone what he saw.
Because that was a ‘courtesy’ for Ho-yeol.
Camilla sighed and raised her hands.
“give up. I won’t ask anymore. Don’t talk so coldly~”
By the way, what are you looking at so intently from earlier?
Jesse was staring at the tablet PC.
Glimpse—
the wide field of vision of an archer.
Camilla, who checked the screen, said as if she was dumbfounded.
“Korean greetings? hand on belly? Why are you watching that again?”
The world was only talking about ‘Lee Ho-yeol’.
Not to mention in his home country, Korea.
So, it was only a matter of time before we found out.
“uh?”
Convex—
protruding cheeks.
hair braided into two pigtails.
A dainty finger pointed at the TV screen. Then
,
with a bright face, she anxiously searches for her mother.
“mom. It’s Uncle Ho Yeori!!”
.
.
.
Wheeining─
I looked at the vibrating smartphone and thought.
It’s finally here.
When I checked the sender, it was my sister number 3.
But i know
the moment you receive this call.
That the voices of 1 2 3 would come out at the same time.
When you think about it, it’s a strange thing.
When we were young, we couldn’t fight each other, so we couldn’t be bothered.
Is it because I’m getting old?
Now, they are the ones who can’t live without each other.
therefore.
It is I who die young and now.
I pressed the call button.
As expected, the cool voice of No. 1 was heard.
-Hey Hoyeol Lee. do you have anything to say to us?
I have a lot to say.
“Calm down, my sisters.”
…starting with this way of speaking.
