The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 213: Leave the place



Chapter 213: Leave the place

Its scary.

Im scared.

As expected, people are the scariest.

Sksk

On the desk.

The chiefs work piled up heavily.

I couldnt calm myself down even though I was scribbling with my feather pen. It was only natural. From the beginning, I never imagined it would all be an act.

So to put it simply.

In the pointed hat, the Tower Master was acting.

It was an act to deceive the previous archmages!

In that regard, the Tower Master was not the Tower Master for nothing.

Just like how the Tower Master was able to look through Jessies memories.

The archmages would also be able to look at the memories of the Tower Masters conversation with me.

If I only look at what the Tower Master said

There was no room for doubt.

That was why he came out so feisty.

Thanks to that method acting, his acting was hard to notice.

Even with me, who talked to him face-to-face.

Stop the conspiracy of the archmages. (In Progress)

If the quest window hadnt sparkled.

I wouldnt have noticed the hidden meaning behind his words.

But that didnt mean I was stupid.

What do you mean, being an accomplice all of a sudden!?

Anyone would have misunderstood that, right?

Is that why hes the person Marcelo admires?

The system window was exclusive to players.

So, the archmages couldnt recognize it.

I didnt expect him to tell me the details of the incident using the system window as a blind spot.

That means he understands the system.

Just as players couldnt easily understand magic, the [system] was a concept that Arcana people could not easily accept.

You could tell that much just by looking at Marcelos struggle with oddity.

I spoke calmly.

Indeed, he didnt rise to the position of Tower Master for nothing.

I dont think the person who achieved the chief position through the parachutes way has a right to say that Still, that should put some strenght on my shoulder.

By the way.

Until the end, the Tower Master kept judging me.

About whether he could trust me or not.

Considering the content of the quest, it couldnt be helped.

How many adversaries do I have to deal with?

This wasnt a ploy by just one archmage.

It was a quest to thwart the conspiracy of the archmages.

The Tower Master was carrying out this extremely difficult quest alone. He was even sharing all his senses with those enemies.

Im slowly starting to understand.

The reason why the Tower Master allowed Jessie into the Mage Tower.

The Tower Master must have chosen Jessie.

As an ally who would stop the archmages ploy together.

Like back in the day when Arcana was just a game.

That was the storyline of the archmage class quest.

Teacher and disciple There may have been one or two people who thought that way. Well, a lot of people didnt, including me.

He was a teacher but he said something like that.

Well, it must have been an act to fool everyone including himself.

This was not the time to criticize the Tower Master for lying here.

The most important thing was the ploy of the archmages.

What kind of plot did the Tower Master notice?

Did he forcibly separate his body from his consciousness, go into the tigers den called the pointed hat, and make a gamble of handing over the position of the archmage to Jessie?

In the end, is that damn truth the problem?

When I mentioned the truth, there was one person who naturally came to mind.

Karimjeva.

The basement of the Mage Tower, Mugan.

Unlike the two elder mages who collapsed there.

Karimjeva had never given up on his desire for true truth until he got frozen in Absolute Zero.

What Karimjeva did to reach the true truth was the resurrection of the high-ranking demon king

As expected, no matter how much I thought about it, it stank.

At the end of the Battle for the Demon King, I encountered Gamigin, one of the high-ranking demon king.

Thanks to this, I was able to see for myself how unusual a high-ranking demon king was.

First of all, I couldnt even communicate with the high-ranking demon king.

.

But lets assume.

The true truth spoken of by Karimjeva.

If you equate it with the destination of the archmages, the limit of magic

Does oddity become the true truth?

Through my conversation with the Tower Master, I found out that the limit of magic was the oddity. No, more than that, I proudly boasted that I was the founder of oddity.

I said that with my own mouth.

Not just the Tower Master, but the other archmages must have noticed that as well.

As expected, you earn a beating with this mouth.

If the personality of an archmage other than the Tower Master appeared, it seemed things would become quite troublesome. Please, I hoped Jessie never suffered from mana burnout.

For a moment, I swallowed a sigh.

At the end of my thoughts.

I came up with a possibility.

Wait a minute, if the high-ranking demon king is a being in the realm of oddity.

If I went with that premise.

A question was solved at once.

Indeed.

I had found the reason why Gamigin was able to resist [Gii!

Oddity literally had an odd effect.

The reason Karimjeva, who was called the Fire Dragon, was defeated by me in the past when I had been incomparably weaker than I was now, was because he had no tolerance for oddity.

But Gamigin was the only one who had been able to resist.

I recalled the battle against Gamigin again. If Akshan hadnt helped, I wouldnt have been able to put Gamigin in hell even with oddity.

So, the conclusion had been reached.

The high-ranking demon king.

They, like me, had entered the realm of oddity.

When I thought about it that way, I understood why a high-ranking demon king had such overwhelming abilities. The force of oddity was hard to fight back on.

I recited.

I see.

Yeah, the ones running toward oddity were not just me and Marcelo. Not only high-ranking demon kings, but also the archmages were moving towards oddity.

However.

All of you, keep in mind.

You should know your place.

Dont think about standing on the same level as me.

As long as my dark history kept its eyes open.

I was confident that I would reach oddity before anyone else.

It wasnt just empty talk.

Now that I knew the demon, the high-ranking demon king, was involved with oddity.

Grandfel had no choice but to take it more seriously.

Sksksk!

No, but you dont have to take it seriously to this extent.

Somehow, the speed at which I used the feather pen was becoming faster and faster.

There, I could feel it once more.

Oh, my.

Somehow, the road ahead to oddity.

It seemed the road of hardship had become clearer.

Stop the conspiracy of the archmages. (In Progress)

But all roads started with one step at a time.

The Tower Masters body would be floating in the magic sphere on the top floor of the Mage Tower. Everything always followed the procedure. Finding the top floor came only after the chiefs duties were completed.

And as always.

Its a failure. Bensch William.

Sk!

*

Yusra Kingdom.

The new captain of the Golden Palaces guard was Enoch Lauren, the third-in-command of the Knights of Lionheart.

Enoch suddenly thought of Yesica.

What did make Yesica so scared?

Hoahm

He had nothing to do so he yawned.

Captain, Id like to join you on the expedition to the Zero Mountain.

That was Yesicas declaration.

He never thought Yesica would replace him to go on the dangerous Zero Mountain expedition. Enoch had no reason to oppose.

Today, under Harkons approval, Yesica and Enoch changed their duties.

This didnt mean that protecting the Golden Palace was an easy task.

However.

I feel strangely at ease.

It was only natural.

Who on earth could walk around the Golden Palace with an impure heart? This was a place that Commander Lee Hoyeol visited every day.

Of course, the Commander-in-Chief was a very busy person. He didnt stay still here. So, wouldnt there be people who preyed on that absence?

No, if anyone asked that, they didnt know anything.

Beyond the mountain, another mountain is waiting.

Yeah.

There was Elsidore in the Golden Palaces annex.

The elf, who had no blood or tears, had his eyes wide open.

Enoch didnt know how that elf could be brought into submission, but

Well, everything must be because of Commander Lee Hoyeols abilities.

How long has it been since I have such an easy time?

Also, the fact that Yesica refused this kind of easy time, he added it as her virtue.

But Enoch was mistaken.

The work of the Golden Palace hadnt even begun.

The moment when the sun rose in the sky and the hands of the clock passed exactly noon.

W-What?

Rumble

As if theyre in sync.

People began to flock to the front of the Golden Palace like clouds.

They were the reporters who flocked to cover Hoyeol.

The crowd came out of nowhere.

Enoch shouted reflexively.

Stop. Commander Lee Hoyeol has not returned yet!

However, something strange happened.

There were so many of them that it would be hard to control but they neatly aligned themselves. No one ordered them to do it, they did it voluntarily.

Rock, paper, scissors!

Aha! Our VBC comes first.

No, Director Yoon. Have you only been eating and practicing rock, paper, scissors?

Also, there seemed to be a procedure for determining the order.

Enoch could tell.

This was also thanks to Commander Lee Hoyeol.

Well, it was also well known within the Knights of Lionheart.

I heard that whenever the Commander opens his mouth, the surroundings become completely quiet?

Actually, I also heard something from a mage of the Mage Tower.

What, what did you hear from the Mage Tower?!

According to rumors, the Commander-in-Chief seems to come from a very noble family. The arrogant mages of the Mage Tower said that.

They even said Homen. They said theres also a prayer like that, right?

Just Homen.

Was that the way to say it again?

Enoch was muttering to himself.

Clip clop

Out of nowhere, sounds of horse hooves came in.

At the same time.

The reporters sighed.

Ugh.

It was Skal who appeared riding his horse, Alexander.

Wasnt Skal always adhered to appearing mysterious?

The reason why reporters, who should have cheered the appearance of Skal, were indifferent was simple.

No, hes here again?

Now, instead of welcoming it, I just feel bored really.

Is he not worried about Liu Jinchun? He only needs 1 level left.

Being surprised and pointing the camera at him could only last for a day or two!

What the hell was his business with Hoyeol?

It even overshadowed his misteriousness in the past.

Skal was too squeamish in the face of Hoyeol.

Following Hoyeols footsteps, he headed to the Mage Tower and the Yusra Kingdom.

And wandered around the Zero Mountain.

This time, its really really urgent.

Well, is this a scoop again this time, Skal-ssi?

Of course, once it is resolved, I will hold an official press conference.

As if that wasnt bad enough, Skal made the same excuse every time and sneaked to the front gate. Skal, who was trying to appeal to Yesica as always, was shocked.

What about Dame Yesica Bright?

She went on an expedition to the Zero Mountain. From today onwards, the commander of the Golden Palaces guard is me, Enoch Lauren.

Oh, I see, Enoch-ssi.

?

Why did he call Yesica 'dame' but call him with '-ssi'?[1]Dame and Sir both used the same non-gendered Korean word. Basically, Enoch was wondering why Skal called him Enoch-ssi instead of Sir Enoch.

It was oddly annoying, but it seemed petty to argue with.

Moreover, the opponent was Skal.

Is he the Dragon Knight Skal?

He was one of the few adventurers who had a reputation in the Empire before the Cataclysm. Enoch was also a knight, so he couldnt help but know the existence of Skal, a dragon knight.

By the way, that great adventurer, Skal.

No. Its more urgent than that, Enoch!

Restless.

He was barely able to calm down.

Unlike the usual, theres something I have to tell him!

He was making a fuss, saying that he had to meet Hoyeol.

Only then did Enoch understand Yesicas distaste.

Youve been tormented by Skal like this every day, Yesica

Unlike the firm Yesica, Enoch was very affectionate.

If Sir Hoyeol returns, I will deliver your message.

Besides, Skals words were very appealing.

But most of all.

Skal said he had something to tell Hoyeol.

Your lines are a little different today than usual?

The buzzing of reporters also played a part in inciting it.

But unfortunately.

Skal was unable to achieve his goal this time too.

But what time is it now?

Huh? Wait, its way past the time?

No, Hoyeol-ssi is not usually like this?

Maybe something happened?

No way?! That cant be!

Lee Hoyeol, who never broke his routine even for a single day.

Uncharacteristically.

He didnt show up at the Golden Palace today.

.

.

.

The top floor of the Mage Tower.

The soaked floor spoke of what had happened.

Pause

An elder mage witnessed that sight.

Chief Lee Hoyeol?

Yugwid struggled to speak.

May I ask how this happened?

A mana sphere was horribly broken.

The essence of mana had poured out onto the floor.

The Tower Master was gone.
