Episode 337. Also…
Player Romeo.
Rumors about him spread quickly. It had to be. It was because he was the one named Romeo who literally swept the Arcana auction house like a storm.
League of Explorers.
The explorers gathered, regardless of player arcana.
At the center of them was Park Hwi-gang.
“Because I’m not an ordinary player?”
Even before and after the cataclysm, potions were treated as gimmicks in Arcana.
It was because there were enough healers to replace potions, and potions were difficult to obtain compared to their performance and therefore expensive.
“Anyway, even just sweeping it out makes it special?”
“no way. Isn’t the leap a bit harsh, Mr. Hwigang?”
“really…! Haven’t you all checked?”
“What?”
“Why wouldn’t explorers put one or two bottles of basically surplus potions on the auction house? It must have been sold, so check it out.”
At the end of Park Hwi-gang, the players accessed the auction house.
It is said that it is an era in which not a single coin comes out by digging the ground. It was because they were explorers with the skills to get at least a bottle of potion from each rift. Of course, there are as many complaints as there are abilities.
“No, since it’s Mr. Hwigang, I’ll check it out. You really think that Romeo bought the potion? Well, probably not. More than anything, I hated the unification of the world, so the starting price…”
Except for the members of the Unification Guild, there would be no players in the world who would be happy to unify the world.
It was an obvious potion that would only buy the unification of the world anyway, so the man had registered it for sale at a higher price than the market price just to eat it.
however.
“How are you?”
“Sold?!”
“Right? am i right? Buyers check it out!”
“…Romeo right?!”
“I am Romeo too!”
Park Hwigang let out a satisfied smile.
But it’s not over yet.
A nettuber player who is sensitive to fresh rice cakes.
Park Hwi-gang, who caught the case, was already moving quickly.
So I found out.
Big-handed Romeo’s purchases are not limited to potions! The Loyalty of the League of Explorers who help each other. Park Hwigang diligently ran around Yusra Kingdom and spread the information he collected.
“Why are rumors abound even among Yusra’s blacksmiths? A player named Romeo wiped out all the arrows, low-level gear, and everything on the auction house!”
“What?”
After listening to that, it seemed that he wasn’t really an ordinary player.
at that time.
Someone raised their hand and asked a question.
“Isn’t it just a hoarder? Actually, it’s a common method, right? Buying everything first, monopolizing it, then selling it later at a higher price…”
Dori Dori.
Everyone including Park Hwigang shook their heads.
“That makes sense. Didn’t you learn math?”
“If I did, would I lose my wallet, let alone profit? You know it when you see the transaction price on the auction house. Everything was bought at a much higher price than the market price. Potions and equipment are not items that cannot be obtained again.”
“You can be mistaken. Don’t you understand at all?”
Yes.
Romeo’s daily actions alone.
I couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on.
“Then you have no choice but to go back and look. First of all, who is Romeo? At the very least, if we know the identity, we can guess the purpose, right?”
“Romeora… has anyone heard of it?”
Some of them tuck their chins in deep thought.
They are explorers who are more sensitive to information and rumors than anyone else in Arcana.
No matter how much I search my memory, nothing about the name Romeo comes to mind.
furthermore.
“In fact, wouldn’t it be more difficult to forget a name like that?”
Above all, it is a sympathetic response.
It was the moment when Park Hwigang nodded gently.
Someone raised a fundamental question.
“But. Where did a player with an unheard-of name get such a huge amount of money… on a scale like this. Could it have literally wiped out the auction house?”
“…!!!”
For players, fame is skill and directly related to money.
Because that’s the common sense of the player.
Park Hwigang took his luck just in case.
“Isn’t it like that reclusive master? You might be a ranker who disabled the ranking system. It’s blasphemy to compare, but like Ho-yeol…”
“Ah. No matter how you say it, it doesn’t make sense, Mr. Huigang! In order to earn that kind of money, you have to show your face like eating at least the top cracks, right? But didn’t you? In any guild, there is a player named Romeo.”
“Well, that’s it again.”
Eventually, the story went back to square one.
Romeo sweeps the auction house.
Who is he?
The Explorers’ League, of course.
After heating up even the community.
Only one fact has been revealed.
-Isn’t it strange to think of the auction house’s anonymity system?
-What kind of conspiracy theory is that
? -No;; Only part of the ID is revealed At the auction house
-ㅇㅇ
-But why is Romeo the full name???
-…What is it? It’s really like that???
-Isn’t it like auction house privileges
?
Even if you don’t know who he is.
That he is a player with an influence that surpasses the anonymous system.
Yes, no one could have guessed.
Romeo.
Just those three letters.
That it is only a small part of the name.
As for the common sense of the culprit…
*
Sweat dripping down his shirt isn’t unpleasant at all.
For some reason, I’m just happy to see physical training reaching the limit today.
Wouldn’t it be better to knock your head on the floor and pass out?
Seriously, it must have been thanks to that urge….
Stop doing push-ups.
Inhale.
Spit out a cubic tablet on exhalation.
“Everyone will praise that imagination.”
Again, I’m resentful, Rayman Shen…!
If you’re going to create an anonymous system, shouldn’t you be completely anonymous?! Why did you bother to expose some of your IDs? Of course, it would be completely anonymous to ordinary players.
‘At most three or four letters. Because it’s five or six at most.’
Even if a letter is revealed there.
It would be impossible to pinpoint who the opponent was.
However, my full name [Granfell Cloudy Arpheus Romeo] is a whopping 15 and 15 letters. Yes, it was all because of this guy’s overly long name.
“Romeo, he is old too.”
Please don’t say terrible things even if you’re talking to yourself!
Even on the Arcana continent, only a few people know my full name. Besides, because they know the weight of that name. I have faith that I will not spit out that name easily.
‘But the reality is a different story.’
More than anything, you can tell by looking at the reaction now, right?
Starting with the question of where is Juliet when G returns to Romeo.
They even joked about whether they were preparing to go on a cruise.
It is no joke that attention is drawn to a name with only a few letters.
Of course, even he had a Grand Fell that he listened to through his pride filter, but…
“I understand that you can’t fathom the weight of a name.”
Really not at all reassuring.
My karma is a dark history.
I’m starting to feel the pressure on me in real life too!
[You have met the conditions.]
I hoped that you would pass out by hitting me in the head.
Is it because his strength and tenacity rise as the water rises?
Even that is not easy anymore.
I checked the status window.
[Name: Grandfell Cloudy Arpheus Romeo]
[Title: The Last Adventurer Sublime Transcendent Dark Dragon]
[Class: Demon Hunter]
[Level: 776]
[Ability]
Strength: 182 / Agility: 178 / Magical Power: 677 / Luck : 12 / Aesthetics : 上 / Tenacity : 6
[Possessed points : 4]
Finally, the total of stats has exceeded 1,000. Of course, as expected of a demon hunter, his promiscuous stats were enough to spew astonishment to anyone who saw them.
‘It’s past time to blame the class.’
Anyway, this was also the direction I decided to grow.
Even if you regret it later, you shouldn’t do anything wrong.
Would it be more than spitting in my face?
Of course, Grandfel’s pride was much higher than mine.
“Only one thousand. If you’re going to measure me, it’s still a long way off.”
It’s amazing in many ways that you’re not satisfied with just one thousand.
Soon I checked the remaining points.
If you ask me why I left 4 points vaguely.
Because now was the time when I needed [luck].
[Absorption (Item Skill): Parasitic creature envy absorbs the target. Depending on the target absorbed, Envy will have a new unique effect. The number of unique effects that can be stored depends on the hunger of the Envy. Current Envy’s satiety- 100% / Stored unique effect: Dark understanding]
Envy has finished digesting it.
I can’t blame the gap of more than 10 years now.
After awakening as a player, I was active and accumulated more experience than that. It was thanks to it. The prediction that Envy, who swallowed the appropriate magic power, would awaken the unique effects related to black magic.
The unique effect created in that way is just that.
Superstition I’m not superstitious.
It was the reason why I opened my hand to the luck stat.
[Understanding of Darkness (Curse): Significantly increases appropriate magic affinity. However, he must face the past, which is the source of suitable magical power. – Currently suitable magic affinity: 0%]
Neither a passive skill nor a normal skill.
What is written in parentheses is [Curse].
It was like a curse that I had experienced unexpectedly some time ago.
Underground Mugan of the Magic Tower.
A former elder mage and devil worshiper.
The curse on the wall he left behind in his will.
[The flow that can not go against the curse]
Having entered the curse, I witnessed the end of the Seorn continent, which was destroyed by the No. 1 demon king, Baal, and him. True to the name of the curse, a sense of lethargy swept over my body.
Especially Baal’s formidable ability.
If it wasn’t for Grandfel’s mental strength…
it was so amazing that it wouldn’t be strange even if my heart was broken.
therefore.
‘I don’t think I’m going to rely on luck for the first time in a while.’
I don’t know if luck really has that effect.
However, whenever I invested points in the luck stat, I was the one who had good results. It’s such a desperate situation that I want to cling to that minor jinx.
A suitable source of magical power.
In other words, the past of Grandfel.
To face the brutality of the Cloudy family.
Of course, it was only me, Lee Ho-yeol, that I was concerned about.
Even in the middle of this body.
Because I was calmly tilting my teacup.
“Admit it, you also have green tea.”
A body heated up by training.
It meant that there was plenty of room to cool down with cold green tea.
I know, having experienced it countless times.
If it’s the Granfell I know.
Even if it’s a curse from her past.
I will face it casually and destroy it.
in the same position as always
I was the only one who didn’t have the confidence to face the past. The confidence to look straight at the cruelty of the Cloudy family, which may have originated from my own mistakes.
But didn’t you promise, Hoyeol-ah?
‘I’ll take responsibility for everything.’
It is about taking responsibility for the past.
2nd bottle.
It is the pride of an adult who overcame the stormy period.
I invested all my remaining points into luck.
[Luck: 16]
[Possessed points: 0]
Considering the value of level 4 in the 700-level range
…
Still, let’s assume that the bottom is not a business.
‘What expression would I make if I told Matisse?’
Even wearing elemental magic and legendary grade equipment.
Affinity was an indispensable ability in Arcana.
But my suitable magic affinity was zero.
‘Supposing that such a dark magic was manifested at 0%.’
It is still unknown how much synergistic effect a suitable Magical Affinity will bring to black magic.
But as much as nothing and existence are different. Even a 1% increase would make a significant difference.
Even if it’s not that, I can’t come and take it out now. In order not to collapse under the burden I had on my back, I had to grow even more than now.
‘Let’s finish it as quickly as possible.’
There’s nothing good about postponing it.
In that sense, I looked at procedures and schedules.
Do we have to select a 20-member advance team from tomorrow? It’s obvious, but there is no definite place. I can’t guess where Grandfel’s whims will go.
‘How long will it take?’
Even time flows inexorably.
Because of that, the curse he suffered in Mugan wasn’t much of a reference.
No matter how much I roll my head, I can’t come up with an estimate.
Well, there was nothing to worry about.
“You guys will do enough.”
according to strict procedures. Because there were people who would take over my role in my absence, in the Mage Tower, in the AAU Yusra branch, and even in the Allied Crusade.
‘In the end, if I do well, there will be no problem.’
So there’s no need to hesitate any longer.
Before long, suitable magic power swayed from Envy.
A message popped up in front of my eyes.
[Enter the curse ‘understanding of darkness’.]

Jebuck—
Marcelo stood on the podium with a thinner face than usual. There is no smile on the face of the elder mage Yugweed. Even the head of the pagoda, which was always stretched out, sits straight and keeps its place.
“….”
Bangrit and Banshee.
Even the two normally talkative seniors do not open their mouths. Matisse’s face is terrifyingly dark. Marcelo opens his mouth in the Crystal Hall, where only the executives of the Magic Tower are seated.
“At this point, the Mage Tower officially declares.”
The horsetail is blurred.
“Chief Lee Ho-yeol’s disappearance…”
Chief Lee Ho-yeol.
has he disappeared
It was exactly five days ago.
