Episode 229:
A video played on the exterior wall of the building.
The situation in the video took an urgent turn. Citizens stopped walking and had a heated discussion about the war situation.
Boys in school uniforms talk loudly.
“Kya, I never imagined Arba would be attacked like that in my entire life. “Anyway, my dad logged out of Arba, so he can’t even get out of the village.”
“real? My sister is in the same situation. “What trouble is this because of Kaimus?”
“Anyway, good-looking guys are the problem.”
Caimus, the source of all evil.
Since the Fate highlight aired, Kaimus’s evaluation has plummeted.
The feeling of betrayal must have been even greater because he had built up great favor with videos of him fiercely fighting the enemy as a faithful general after leaving War Machine.
A loud voice echoes through the streets.
-Lay out the siege. Grab them and shake them!
“Individual ability may be inferior to X, but leadership ability is great. “It is no exaggeration to say that Songwol is responsible for half of Pajukjise’s power.”
There were no people of any age or gender in Fate.
Older people who had opened their eyes to see through the many organs they had in the past highly evaluated Songwol. It was worth it.
“How do you lead a guild of that size?”
The charisma that makes Kim Seong-cheol click his tongue on his way to work!
The difference in difficulty between leading NPCs and leading players was unbelievably large.
Unlike NPCs, users have reality. In reality, gains and losses constantly cause strife and disintegrate allies.
However, the admiration lasted only for a moment.
“Oh, I’m going to be late at this rate.”
If you are late, you will no longer feel rewarded for getting a good night’s sleep at home for the first time in a while. In any case, the siege of Arba will not end anytime soon.
They said it’s not too late to stamp your attendance and start enjoying the show in earnest.
“Good morning, Senpai.”
“How are you?”
“How is the situation? “Did the castle wall collapse?”
Instead of answering, Seo Myung-woo pointed to the monitor. It was worth it to hurry up.
Let’s go!
Siege weapons appear making loud noises.
-preparation!
“Is it true that the main character appears late?”
A devastating siege weapon!
It could be said to be the strongest spear possessed by Pajukjise.
Creativity that enhances accuracy through special job abilities. As a game master, this was something I couldn’t help but be excited about.
Seo Myung-woo, who was sipping coffee, shrugged his shoulders.
“X, Guardian of Veneta, neutralized that siege engine, but can Caimus do it? “It’s a pity, but I don’t think we can see the big trees from back then.”
“The giant trees are not fools and would hold on to a rotten copper rope? No, rotten dong-a string is too much. Should I call it a burning fuse?”
“You’re done with Kaimus Anti, are you?”
The reason why Kim Seong-cheol gritted his teeth at Kaimus was simple.
During the development of Fate, Arba was one of the cities that Seongcheol Kim had a lot of affection for.
In addition, Kim Seong-cheol’s Fate account was also tied to Arba, so he couldn’t help but curse.
-launch!
Let’s go!
Even as the two men were talking, a loud noise was heard and destructive objects were heading towards the castle wall.
Goooooh. A siege weapon carefully controlled through mutation magic.
Even if it were the walls of Arba, it would not be safe.
It was then that something strange happened.
Seongcheol Kim’s eyes narrowed.
“…It didn’t end the way I expected.”
As a result, the walls of Arba did not collapse.
Procrastination.
The black and foreign energy supporting the castle walls began to radiate its presence on the monitor.
The harpoon and rock that touched the black energy disappeared like a lie.
Seo Myung-woo touched his lips.
“No matter how you look at it, it’s not like magic.”
“Can I be sure? There is a possibility that it is dark attribute magic. Dark attribute magic is still a mystery, and there is a possibility that Kaimus may have transferred to a hidden class…”
“Even black magic, which is considered the most cruel in Fate, does not indiscriminately kill the living.”
That’s not magic.
Seo Myung-woo was sure.
Okay, I’ll give it a hundred times and say, if it’s not magic, then what is it?
Seeing Kim Seong-cheol’s puzzled expression, Myung-woo Myung presented the most likely opinion.
“Consider the case of the Black Legion. The raids started from the border villages, and they grew stronger each time they engulfed the village. “After defeating the kingdom army led by Kaimus?”
“For the first time, it took the form of an article. “Like a black knight.”
“Do you think I just gained experience and grew? No, even if there are a lot of elements we don’t know, Fate is a game. “There must be an equivalent exchange input to have an output.”
After hearing that, Seongcheol Kim could understand.
The way to become stronger in Fate is to catch monsters. In the end, the Black Legion also became stronger by killing Fate’s existing NPCs.
Myung-woo Myung muttered.
“It is an insult to magic to call abilities obtained by pledging a living person as magic.”
Seongcheol Kim smiled bitterly.
“Are you a hypocrite? I didn’t think anything when I saw the monster die. “When I heard that they randomly killed the NPCs I had set up, my stomach twisted.”
“I understand that feeling.”
“Who designed something so unpleasant?”
Do you have any sense to know that it is Seo Myung-woo? That was a question that thousands of Meiji employees could not answer even if they put their heads together.
Because the only person in the world who could answer that question was Chairman Schubert.
Seo Myung-woo changed the topic.
“Didn’t you forget about the meeting with the director in the afternoon?”
“How could I forget your last name when I have a senior?”
“You’ve worked hard, junior.”
From information research to data organization.
Kim Seong-cheol was completely caught and rolled by Seong Min-ji.
The youngest’s sorrow!
If there was just more work to do, the meeting would have been canceled a long time ago. The reason why Kim Seong-cheol stayed with them even though he suffered from bad times was simple.
“It is truly an absolute evil concept worthy of the ‘final boss.’”
Because I was able to understand a little bit of Fate’s hidden story that I would never know on my own.
Now that I knew that the heterogeneous black energy was alive and well, there was no need to focus on the battlefield anymore.
“There is so much volume on the offensive side that Arba will not collapse even if it takes time.”
Tak Myung-woo closed his laptop.
Kim Seong-cheol, who was thinking deeply, muttered softly.
“But did our main character arrive safely?”
*
X arrived safely.
Although the outpouring of attention from the people of the Eastern Continent was a bit tiring, isn’t it better than receiving hostility?
“Now, this opportunity doesn’t come around every day!”
And X was actually running a business.
X’s inventory, expanded to its maximum, was nothing short of a bundle of everything. Aside from food ingredients, there are plenty of accumulated ingredients and miscellaneous items!
“Oh, what is this bow? “It looks very unique.”
“This is an item used by a very great hunter. There is a legend that it took the lives of thousands of monsters, or rather monsters, with it.”
“It really wasn’t an ordinary item!”
Among them, the thing that caught the soldiers’ attention was the used item used by X.
Items that were not used because they did not match the increased level. The opportunity to dispose of those antiques had come.
“I guess I have no choice but to buy this, even if it means spending all the salary I’ve saved up.”
The love for gold is universal!
Even though the shape of the gold coin was different, the gold used on the Arba continent seemed to have the same value.
Already 500 Gold X was stealing the soldiers’ salaries through a bit of merchandising.
“I’m selling weapons I made myself!”
“How about clothes made from silk from the West Region? “I bet there is nothing better as a gift for your wife.”
“The treasures of the West Station will be auctioned right away!”
Led by X, others also began soliciting customers. Gold is gold, but the purpose was to resolve their doubts.
X, who was quietly greeting the customer, raised his eyes upward.
‘There will be a serious conversation soon.’
Cheol Jung-hwan looking down at them. According to Seo Ji-ha, Cheol Joong-hwan is a man who is quick at calculating profits and losses.
X was acting while keeping in mind the words of Seo Ji-ha, who left here secretly to contact the princess.
Gold-crazy merchant acting!
Is it because of perfect method acting?
Things went as expected.
“General Chul Jung-hwan wants to talk to you. “Let’s go together.”
“Would it be possible?”
I gave a quick glance to my companions.
X followed the soldier, rubbing his palms together.
If you know your enemy and yourself, you will win every battle.
I had to talk to Cheol Jung-hwan as much as possible and get as much information as possible. The residence where the general stayed was particularly luxurious.
Although it was made of wood, it had a luxurious exterior with an oriental scent.
When I opened the door, there was Cheol Jung-hwan dressed comfortably. With a faint smile, he poured a drink into a glass.
“Take a seat. “You had a lot of trouble.”
“Thank you, General.”
“Because of my position, I had no choice but to be suspicious of you at first. But that’s something you need to understand. “I’ve never seen a merchant with such a sturdy body.”
“…!”
How to recognize an unmanned person. As a general who commanded the entire West Sea, Cheol Jung-hwan had a keen eye for attention.
X responded calmly.
“That’s too much praise. I only did some training to protect myself in the rough seas of my hometown. “Didn’t you almost become monster food as soon as you came to the East Continent?”
“Haha, we have become lifesavers.”
“Of course you are saying that.”
A way of speaking that makes the other person indebted. I could sense that my ability to deal with people was not average.
A notification sounds to X, who has finished his glass.
Tiroling!
[Heavenly taste has discovered the hidden taste of ‘100 Seju’!]
[Maximum stamina increases by 100 points!]
[Maximum mana increases by 100 points!]
[Intelligence increases by 3 points!]
“Wow, the taste of alcohol is great!” “It’s really good.”
“Haha, it’s a strong drink, but you drink it like water.”
“If you come back from the dead, what is there to hate and what is there not to do?”
But even X was confident that he could shake his mouth!
When X said that there was nothing he couldn’t do, Cheol Jung-hwan’s expression changed significantly for an instant. He began to get straight to the point as if it were flowing.
“I don’t know about you, but our Hua Empire is currently in a state of chaos. “It was a time when princes killed and killed each other for the position of emperor, and powerful men became the swords and shields of those princes.”
To Seo Ji-ha, it was no different from what he said. Cheol Jung-hwan was giving X a serious conversation without lies.
X responded, acting as if he was surprised.
“I think we took a wrong step in a time of confusion.”
“Haha, is that possible? “You took an opportunity in a life-or-death situation.”
“What do you mean by opportunity…?”
Cheol Jung-hwan whispered secretly.
“I will arrange a meeting between you and the prince.”
Meeting with the prince!
Although the prince’s rank was unknown, from the perspective of
Surprised by the offer, Chuck X thought to himself.
‘It looks like I’m getting more results than expected from this?’
At most, I wanted to find out some information about Cheol Jung-hwan.
However, Cheol Jung-hwan’s ambition, and the acting that seemed to be driven by that ambition, caught an unexpected big fish.
This time, X responded with genuine emotion.
“It is an infinite honor, General.”
