Episode 423. A story I don’t know (1)
Line 4 on the way to work.
A conversation that pierces the eardrum.
…I had no intention of eavesdropping.
Probably because of an occupational disease, Seong Hyeon-jun’s ears pricked up on their own.
“When Lee Ho-yeol hung the imperial flag in all directions, I wondered what kind of show he was doing? After all, if you were like me, you would have thought of swallowing the empire as soon as possible.”
“Ugh. A bastard who has no pride.”
“Yes, this time I eat sweetly even if I curse. Seriously, how could you come up with an idea to refuse the position of emperor? Even if you look at it, you can’t predict or predict it?!”
Former member of Cosmo’s current AAU.
Although not a player thanks.
It was Seong Hyeon-jun, who penetrated the arcana more than most players.
Although every system message has a reason.
In the world message floating in front of every player’s eyes.
It means knowing that it has a bigger meaning.
‘I was shocked at night too.’
I wonder if I would have called my boss at work, Senior Yoon, on a weekend evening and talked about work. Of course, the answer didn’t come out just because we put our heads together.
It wasn’t useless to say that it would be better if it was blank.
– “No, does it make sense to refuse the position of emperor?”
– “No. Even if it’s just the taxes that come out, how much?”
-“tax? Wait a minute, after listening to it, it seems to make sense…?”
What’s the biggest reason players want to claim your estate?
Although there was also the honor of being a player who owned the territory.
The biggest reason was the steady supply of gold.
‘Even if it’s a small city, the taxes are enormous.’
It wasn’t just gold. The title of lord became a reputation, and if you put forward that heightened reputation, you could preoccupy a high-grade item that couldn’t be bought with gold alone.
however.
-“That doesn’t apply to the general manager, right?”
What benefits can Ho-yeol take as a lord?
-“yes…? Because you lacked nothing in the first place.”
It was safe to say that the garage was not overflowing.
Even the value of the treasure island Yusra Kingdom.
To the extent that I can’t tell.
A valuable item?
He didn’t have to go far, just checking the equipment he was wearing was enough.
From the Ego Sword and Excalibur to the dazzling uniform…
‘Even I, the operator.’
It was because the items were of a level that I couldn’t dare to guess.
“But whatever it is. Isn’t the empire an ordinary territory? I could collect taxes on a continental basis, and to impress the new emperor, I would have to pay a lot of bribes to Arkansas and players…”
Monday morning on my way to work.
“My mouth waters when I write and imagine.”
Ho-yeol’s refusal to be crowned emperor was bound to become a hot topic among office workers more than a lottery ticket number. Of course, there were those who looked at the situation calmly as many people talked about it.
“So that’s a problem.”
“problem? What’s the matter again?”
“If Lee Ho-yeol had ascended the throne, no one would have thought of occupying the empire. Who is Lee Ho-yeol? Aren’t you a perfect superman beyond an iron man?”
“right. Some kind of madman will target Lee Ho-yeol’s estate.”
“But Lee Ho-yeol declined the position of emperor. If so, the position of emperor is technically vacant. You mean the empress of the empire or the young prince will sit in that vacant seat, right?”
Seong Hyun-jun looked around at that point.
There was interest in the eyes of several who had been eavesdropping on the conversation. It was definitely a reasonable guess that he was hurting the Arcana community.
“Are you going to watch that scene?”
“I don’t know if it’s an arcana…”
“Greedy players?”
Seong Hyun-jun swallowed a sigh.
‘I know the player’s mind well.’
I’ve been watching the players since the arcana was just a game.
It must be thanks
The actions the players would show were roughly predictable, like a pattern.
Kkuk—
The grip on the subway handle was strained.
‘What’s more, temptations are pouring in.’
News from players.
Currently, the world quests on the Arcana continent were endless. Moreover, the common purpose of those quests was to stand on the other side of the Empire.
This was the reason Sung Hyeon-jun’s expression couldn’t be just as enjoyable.
‘…what does the general manager want?’
Did he just want the empire to be intact?
Then why didn’t you ascend the throne?
Even though I chatted with Yoon Soo-gyeom all night, the worries I couldn’t answer.
My head was pounding when I was doing it alone.
‘Okay, I’d say the same thing at the meeting.’
What kind of trouble is this in the subway where you don’t even get a salary?
dory dory.
It was the moment Sung Hyun-jun brushed off his throbbing hair.
“what?”
It wasn’t just the two college students who were talking.
Passengers who were each looking at their smartphones were startled.
It was because breaking news came to mind.
“I heard that Antonium was added to the target coordinates of the Mage Tower portal?!”
“…!”
Antonium, the capital of the empire.
As I just said, the empire was in a tip-top situation.
The one who can ignite that fuse must of course be the player.
Release those players straight into Antonium?
“This is bound to happen.”
“Isn’t Antonium messing up?”
“I heard that some guilds are starting to withdraw from the Holy Temple Alliance?”
The survey of public opinion ended there.
The subway door opens.
Seong Hyun-jun ran.
Tadadak.
‘What the hell is going on?’
The tower lord, Marcelo, can set the target coordinates on the portal of the magic tower.
And there must be only Chief Lee Ho-yeol, general manager.
What kind of picture are you drawing?
Seong Hyun-jun tousled his hair.
“I really can’t keep up with the general manager’s work pace…!”

Player.
Because everyone is faithful to their desires.
A being that no one can control.
but.
“…What’s the atmosphere like here?”
After Cataclysm.
Until now, players who survived by operating in the rift had no choice but to develop survival instincts. Its survivability was warning the players who had entered Antonium through the Mage Tower’s portal.
[You have entered ‘Antonium,’ the godly capital of the empire.]
[It is a period of mourning for the emperor.]
[Your head will naturally become humble.]
Don’t act rashly.
“It’s completely different from what we thought, isn’t it?”
“The World Quest definitely comes to mind…”
“Isn’t it because everyone is scared?”
However, instinct warnings are everywhere.
There were those who tried hard to avoid.
However, Antonium was not in the mood to tolerate rash behavior.
A sudden voice.
“Really. That adventurers would pour out through this portal. It’s so strange that I don’t understand. If it were me, I would not be afraid to listen to his words.”
…what nonsense from the start?
Swoop.
Where the players turned their heads, there were red eyes.
Yes.
It was Shaheen Dune who heard about everything through the Allied Temple.
“I don’t know anything else, but those who have particularly excited faces need to be observed carefully. good night. You may go. These red eyes have remembered your faces.”
…gulp.
There was no intent to kill in his words.
The pressure was indescribable.
Shaheen Dune finished speaking.
“Please don’t lose face as I trusted him.”
“!!!”
Only then did the players realize.
Lee Ho-yeol Why is he?
Added Antonium to the target coordinates of the portal.
Yes.
It was confidence.
It is said that some forces are seething outside of Antonium.
Even if the players inside said they were doing it.
It was an expression of confidence in being able to maintain discipline.

“…Where on earth did these NPCs come from?”
Even if a storm strikes the continent of Arcana.
attitude at all times.
It was like a declaration that I would stand firm as always.
“Yes, for a moment, but I, who was shaken, was an asshole!”
That’s even greater pride for those who are proud.
“…I can’t even get this soup, brother?”
Those who didn’t made it even more intimidating.
and.
The mother of the Empire was watching the scene.
The empress recited with a determined expression.
“I will keep your teaching in mind, Cloudy.”
The crumbled roses became the food of the empire, and such an empire was permeated with pride like sweet rain. Yes, to sprout the rose of a new era.

Matisse Bellier Bansch.
The three senior wizards returned to the Mage Tower.
There was nothing to ask for or ask for.
There is a tower master, Marcelo, in the Magic Tower.
Marcelo knows my heart better than anyone else.
‘Even if I’m away, there’s nothing to worry about.’
Activation of the chief’s authority.
I was about to add Antonium to the portal target coordinates. It was to ensure that the Mage Tower could provide immediate support in the event of an incident in Antonium.
Of course, considering the level of reinforcements gathered in Antonium…
‘Attacking Antonium would be like suicide, but what?’
Bubbly.
“Then I will pray for the chief’s peace.”
Matisse and Bellier.
The two seniors seemed to have no attachment to the Arcana continent.
For some reason, Banshee’s face was full of regret.
I heard that Seodanggae also recites the Poongwol in three years.
“Why? Why does it feel like I’ll never come back…”
It seemed that Banshee also noticed.
Banshee stares at the panoramic view of Antonium with melancholy eyes in front of the portal.
I added a special word to him.
“[A mini-magic sun].”
“…yes?”
“I will be keeping that magic tool, Bensh William.”
“Yes yes?!”
“This is also the proper authority of the chief.”
Because I keep the reason for the disqualification of the tower application.
In the future, you don’t have to tremble so much with disqualification.
More than anything, it honestly exceeded my expectations.
‘Because I’ve sufficiently proven that ability.’
Of course, everything is a story when you understand the Grandpel style of speech.
“No, even if the chief doesn’t have magic tools…!!”
Unfortunately, Banshee didn’t seem to understand what I was saying until he disappeared over the portal. I’d like to put a stamp of acceptance directly on the application form for the tower, but I couldn’t afford to stop by the magic tower right away.
‘I’m pretty busy too.’
After seeing Banshee off, I quietly opened my mouth.
“Hyel.”
“I have responded to the call of Master Highel.”
“Let’s leave soon.”
I have to go find The End.
For some reason, Diend wasn’t responding to my call.
However, my contract with Diend, the spirit of darkness, has not been severed.
Highel bowed her head to me.
“I deeply feel the responsibility of the name Chrysiad bestowed by my lord. As a fellow Krysiad, it is my fault for not recognizing Diend’s ideals.”
You have nothing to apologize for, Hiel.
Judging from the fact that the contract was valid, it didn’t seem like something was wrong with Diend’s safety. Then, why does the end not respond to my call?
I could guess.
“It seems that you are obsessed with the past and the background that is flocking to you.”
dark spirit.
suitable horsepower itself.
Maybe the end is like me.
I don’t know if he’s suffering from [blackening]. [Blackening] Just as the personalities of Grandfel and I are reversed, Diend may not be able to respond to my call because of that.
But don’t worry, the end.
‘Will I quietly release you into the world just because I’m crazy?’
Imagine Diend antagonizing the players as a monster.
The appearance message will surely come to mind.
That’s why it’s called ‘The End Crisiad Eternal Darkness’.
A monstrous name will come to mind.
What if it turns out to be the name I gave you?
‘Dark Dark Dragon, full name, Eternal Darkness…’
That’s when.
It wouldn’t be strange to step on the tail of a dark history…!
So I followed Highel’s guidance and manifested the portal.
“This is it.”
Highel lowered his head again.
“Unfortunately, Diend’s presence ended here.”
Instead of answering, I nodded lightly.
Because Hiel’s intuition wasn’t satisfied?
no it can’t be
It is the vast continent of Arcana.
Hiel, if I had been alone without you, I wouldn’t have been able to find The End even if I searched my entire life. Why did Payyan Lot, the senior magician of the Elemental School, also say that?
– “Even if they made a contract, the spirits are sensitive beings. Even my fire drake won’t even respond when called near water. Pretty nasty isn’t it? They don’t usually tell us where they stay. So, on the other hand, I’m envious of the chief who communicates deeply with HiL…”
So, there was another reason why I was speechless right now.
Yes Arcana Continent.
It’s really expansive.
Zero Mountains will also be updated to reality.
I didn’t know something like this would remain on the continent…
[Entrance to the Canyon of the Forgotten]
[Recommended level: 1000]
Proper level 1,000!
Did you fearlessly enter a place like this alone?
It was at this moment that I took a startling step.
“!”
My eyes flickered.
It was a quest.
A class quest that hasn’t seldom sparked lately.
By the way…
[Class Quest: Akkshan Civil War]
…Civil War?
no seniors.
You even fought without me knowing?!
