The Player Hides His Past Chapter 145

Episode 145. It is to protect pride. (1)

Although the [Permission] function is enormous, it is not omnipotent.

That means I can’t launch the quest on my own.

Well, at least a small quest might be possible. As long as it was something like an errand quest that most players could easily complete.

‘Of course, within the line that this guy’s pride allows.’

Besides, like this moment.

A player in Frost Muon, Yuthra Kingdom. It is impossible to give everyone a quest that will come to mind as a message, no matter how much authority is raised.

I sincerely opened my mouth for the first time in a while.

“I am happy to be with you.”

Thank you so much for not making a fuss…!

Actually, I wasn’t too worried.

Until Hakuna Harkon Talim.

Not to the extent of Grand Fel, but everyone had a bad relationship with the devil.

Particularly motivated was Harkon.

“The time has come to sharpen the dull sword.”

This is Harkon, who stayed in Frost and acted as an acting lord who did not fit his aptitude.

It seemed that his body was already itching. Of course, more important than that would be loyalty to the empire.

“Could you tell me the situation on the continent once again?”

Harkon asked.

Hakuna and Talim are also waiting for my mouth to drop.

I told the truth without hesitation.

From the fact that it is not the Milky Way that decorates the night sky of Arcana, but the countless demonic eyes. Even the fact that the millions of demons I have slain are but the blood of new feet.

“My benefactor, I’m glad you returned safely.”

Hakuna opened her mouth in a relieved voice.

…I died once, but can I say that I returned safely?

In any case, Harkon and Talim understood the situation from the knight’s point of view.

“Thousands of mystic eyes are floating in the sky… They must be watching the battle.”

“In fact, it seems that there is no blind spot on the continent.”

“Wherever you hide, is it in the palm of the devil?”

“And according to the lord’s words, millions of demons gathered in tens of minutes… It may not be an exaggeration to say that millions are only a tiny fraction.”

…I told you because I asked you to tell me.

It must be such a gloomy situation that I wonder if I heard it for nothing.

The reason the three were having a serious conversation was simple.

it’s messy

Even if we were to recruit adventurers through quests, how many would that number be? The gap with the demons who occupied the Arcana continent…

You can know it just by looking at the appearance of the demon king in reality without going far.

‘Because it was too much to defeat even the lowest ranked demon king, Dekarabia.’

In that sense, I couldn’t help but admire it once again.

Grab a crossbow and a sword.

To jump among millions of demons.

Even if you lose your coward head, how much do you lose, Grandfel?

It was also a period of gale-force.

It’s like a time when I didn’t doubt that I was the center of the world.

but thanks

Even though I entered the Arcana Continent and witnessed the most hopeless continent, I can always think of the next number. It’s all thanks to you.

“But it’s fine.”

Of course, this guy’s cubic size is all because of you.

“?”

At my declaration, the three men stopped talking.

In the brief silence, I calmly opened my mouth.

“It’s not our fight.”

“…?”

But really, we’re not alone.

That’s because they, including the Dwarves of the Arcana Continent, are struggling with all their might. At the moment of death, I couldn’t forget the message that came to my mind.

[Your achievements resonate in the Arcana Continent.]

[The lives of the Arcana Continent talk about your sacrifice.]

Yes, if the emergence of a new World Tree was the beginning of a full-scale counterattack.

My sacrifice would have served as food for the counterattack.

Of course, in the revived yard.

It’s grandiose to say it’s a sacrifice, but…

‘Well, there’s no law to give food once, right?’

It’s difficult to do it once.

The second one is easy.

Because I knew the [Last Adventurer] effect was effective. It means that if you only know how to access the Arcana continent, you can give it enough nutrients every day.

‘Because dedicating myself was a business that made more money than I thought.’

Even if he took on the huge Arcana death penalty.

It is said that there was much more to be gained than that.

It’s another year to talk about that reward.

Besides, solving the questions of the three is the priority process rather than rewarding them now.

I spoke.

“There are people who participated in the holy war on the Arcana continent as well.”

“…!”

“Dwarf. A decisive battle weapon inheriting Akshan’s pride, the Quirnberg Machine Tower. And everyone on the continent who fights against the devil with pride despite despair. It’s safe to say that all of them are fighting in the crusade.”

“…I see.”

“Your words are right.”

If you think about it from that point of view, it might be rather late on our side. So, as he jumped into the crusade late, he must shake the war in earnest.

It was a quest for that.

“As you know, there is no material reward at the end of the temple.”

It’s not because of the fucking integrity.

If it was a war caused by rewards and loot.

It would never have been called a temple.

This is not a take away continent and reality.

A war to protect both worlds.

“But the pride remains.”

At the same time, it was a war to protect pride.

Let’s change our position at this point.

Let’s look at it from a very realistic player’s point of view.

How many people will be willing to start a quest that has not even been rewarded? It is not a war in the days when Arcana was just a game, but a real war in which people risk their lives.

Well, I didn’t expect it, but maybe it’s less than I expected.

But one thing was certain.

“A pride that is unbreakable by any ordeal.”

Those who participated in the occasional temple quest without any reward.

I won’t be afraid in front of any devil.

Like me, who diligently carries out the demon hunter class quest for no reward.

So what I do is simple.

Just wondering how many players are like me.

It’s something to watch and wait for.

Let’s take a break in that sense.

Click—

on the golden round table.

I opened my mouth while holding up the raised teacup.

“You’d better eat before it gets cold.”

“…Ah, I forgot.”

“I’ve never seen that green car before.”

As always, the 300 won green tea bag was shaking.

[Quest: Unfinished Crusade]

From the Arcana continent to reality.

The crusade against the devil is not yet over.

At the end of this war, there are no rewards or loot.

All that remains is pride.

Prove yourself proud.

─Prove your worth in the area. (Ongoing)

Your region.

A quest that emerged from Frost Muon in Yuthra Kingdom.

Even when Arcana was just a game, war-related quests were not common.

A war quest like that popped up in three regions at the same time?

Naturally, the rice cake had no choice but to return.

-ㅁㅋ It wasn’t just that demons were pouring in;

-no;; How do we know that a holy war is going on

-Raymon Sean Are we just starting to collect rice cakes???

-By the way, this is the first time I’ve seen a scale quest like this hahahahahahahahaha

The abnormally pouring demon-type monsters.

If the crusade was in progress on the Arcana continent, I could understand the question to some extent. Why did players come up with temple-related quests?

AAU emergency meeting.

“Is the British side absent today? What happened?”

as the situation is.

Greetings are omitted.

The meeting went straight to the point.

“It’s a temple, it’s a temple! A temple we do not even know.”

“Anyone have any guesses?”

“…well.”

“Anything, nothing. Even the pods are good.”

In the flowing silence, someone opened their mouth.

“First of all, it seems certain that the Goddess Church is involved, right?”

“I guess so. That’s why the quest came to mind in Muon. Well, even Frost can understand. Because I almost got swallowed up by the Demon King. It must be the enemy. By the way, Yusra Kingdom?”

I don’t know about the Yusra system, but isn’t the Yusra kingdom an ancient kingdom revived in reality? Park Min-jae, head of the AAU Korea branch, kept his mouth shut.

‘This time, it must be Lee Ho-yeol.’

If everyone had a brain, they would be able to infer it without difficulty.

Lee Ho-yeol He was the player who activated the [Permission] function in Yusra Kingdom. In order for Yusra Kingdom to participate in the holy war, Lee Ho-yeol’s consent must have been required.

‘Then I have no choice but to pretend I don’t know.’

Park Min-jae looked around the monitor once.

AAU.

An international cooperative organization established to respond to Arcana’s erosion.

But that’s only for a great purpose.

Behind it, the interests of each country are intricately intertwined.

“What do you think, branch manager Park Min-jae?”

Thanks to this, I was able to guess the intention behind the question.

‘Are you thinking about it?’

They must be mistaken that I have a close relationship with Lee Ho-yeol.

What do you see in your eyes

You’re generalizing your relationship.

‘Damn it, even if I wanted to, I should be able to do that.’

Park Min-jae did not want to pretend to be clean.

For that, he had to roll for too long even in the muddy water of society. However, I had no intention of splashing that dirty water on Lee Ho-yeol.

‘Because he didn’t even need my help in the first place.’

It wasn’t just him.

Wasn’t it Ho-yeol who was ahead of AAU’s intelligence?

It would be an overestimation of himself to think that his cooperation, which is only the head of the AAU branch, would be helpful. But just because you acknowledged it.

‘I’m not saying that I’ll just watch again.’

How they splashed dirty water on Lee Ho-yeol.

Do you think I’m just watching?

As he said, his clothes were already dirty from rolling and rolling.

A few more drops of muddy water?

no blows

No, he could have rolled on the ground openly.

‘Please don’t interfere.’

Lee Ho-yeol He was different from other players.

Because I didn’t pursue material or fame.

The road he walked was only one road.

‘It means not interfering with the path we have walked for humanity.’

[Crack in the broken dimension] Starting with the crack.

[Demon King] Until the crack.

Because he was the one who had been lonely solving the cracks that not only AAU, but also any major power could not provide a solution to.

Yes, the path Lee Ho-yeol walked was the path of a noble hero that no one could touch.

So, Park Min-jae made a promise.

‘If we can’t walk together, we’ll have to get rid of the obstruction.’

Because that’s my role.

Park Min-jae opened his mouth.

He bluntly stabbed him in the face.

“I don’t know or guess anything. But one thing is clear.”

“…?”

“Player Lee Ho-yeol, you’d better not get in his way. I don’t know if it’s helpful, but if you’re thinking of grabbing my ankle…”

That was a clear warning.

“Likewise, you’ll have to be prepared to give up your ankle.”

End of AAU meeting.

“You’ve grown a lot.”

After Cataclysm.

The magic tower appears in Seoul, the capital of Korea.

It was Korea that grew rapidly with that opportunity.

Lack of luck led to the appearance of a non-standard player named Lee Ho-yeol. Thanks to this, South Korea’s influence in the international community has soared to the point where it is comparable to that of the United States or China.

“But this time, you are firmly mistaken.”

Branch Manager Park, did I tell you to be prepared to give up your ankle?

Unfortunately, I didn’t even have to hold onto my ankles.

This quest is a give and take.

Because there was no interest.

“You seem to be overestimating the animal called man.”

Sup—

The man absorbed the smoke.

Humans are a foolish and cunning race.

The same goes for players.

Risking your life for a job that has no reward or loot?

It is said that it is not a reason to move the pride and peace of mankind.
