──────

Reaction was not very different.

“It’s been a while since I’ve updated the region… What?”

“Battlefield?”

“Is that the battlefield I know?!”

[Labyrinth] [Dungeon] [Battlefield] even created in reality?

The days when Arcana was just a game.

The battlefield was a windfall for the players.

“Because I just had to pay close attention and stick to the forces that seemed likely to win.”

“Even if the quest reward is given according to the battle contribution. Once you took part, your reputation went up. Maybe that’s why there were players who were only looking for battlefields?”

“That’s right, especially the mercenaries!”

A battlefield, in other words, a place full of loot.

As the saying goes, it was the mercenaries who were more familiar with the battlefield than anyone else.

So, it was only natural for the shadow mercenaries, one of the strongest mercenaries, to focus their attention on them.

Kingdom of Yusra.

The Golden Calf Tavern.

bang!

The source of the roar was Rock Kid again this time.

“It’s called a battlefield, battlefield! Wasn’t it just that your body was itching like that, everyone?”

A booming voice, as if talking into a loudspeaker.

Thanks to this, the shadow mercenaries drew a lot of attention.

From the Alliance Explorers who were sitting at the table to get information from earlier.

Even famous guild informants and nettuber players.

“As expected, Rock Kid. It doesn’t disappoint.”

“It really hurts my eardrums. But thanks…”

“Wait! Shh everyone! I think I will get to the point soon.”

It doesn’t seem to matter what people around you look at.

Knock –

Captain Kichi emptied his glass.

Then I glared at Rock Kid.

“Hey stupid.”

“…ok?”

“Stone stone. This stone head!!”

“!!!”

Eventually, kitsch exploded.

It was an unusual event, but everyone in the Shadow Mercenary Corps knew how strong the aftermath was. sneaky. Some, including Alkari, left early.

Kichi’s eyes immediately changed and turned to Rock Kid.

“Are you saying my words don’t sound like words?”

To the point where the usual drunkenness feels like smoke.

From that gaze, a clear life flowed out.

It is sharp as if it were cut just by encountering it.

…gulp.

Rockkid involuntarily swallowed dry saliva.

Indeed, it seemed like he was the one who made this world’s Rock Kid-sama join the mercenary group. Truly a millennial. Even if it is called the sword of the sky, the momentum is not lacking.

‘It’s a feeling I haven’t felt in a long time.’

There was not a single weapon in Kitsch’s hand.

Even so, I felt the pressure as if a knife had been pressed against my throat.

A sense of life that could not be felt even in the Colosseum where life and death come and go.

However, Rockkid struggled to raise the corner of his mouth.

“Okay, now you’re like the leader I know.”

“What the fuck.”

…was excited.

Kichi regained his sanity at Rock Kid’s cleverness.

Damn, when I came to my senses, there were too many eyes to see.

Kitsch scattered life.

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t stand it like usual because I had so many things to worry about.”

There’s so damn much to worry about.

Thinking about it again made my head throb.

Even if he did get involved, why would he be involved in such a big incident!

‘It’s not at the level of a battlefield, the temple is.’

It was.

Because the shadow mercenaries also participated in the holy war.

Anyone who knows them well will tell you this.

To be proud of the Shadow Mercenary Corps, that kind of thing will remain.

That was right.

The reason Kitsch participated in the holy war wasn’t because of some unknown pride.

‘…This bastard’s cube!’

The mouth has always been a problem.

Kichi was formally invited by Hakuna, the king of Yusura.

Are you willing to participate in the holy war?

To the king’s question, Kitsch answered skillfully.

-“If all the mercenaries match the ransom.”

The ransom of the shadow mercenaries?

When I think of a tolerable mercenary group, my nose hurts.

Even if I brought a thousand gold, I could only give it to two or three people at most. So it was a kind of euphemistic refusal.

-‘A crusade against the devil? They don’t even pay gold for that kind of thing. really.’

However, Kitsch was overlooked.

Yusra.

Why was this ancient kingdom called Treasure Island?

“Really aaaaa.”

It was an irresistible amount.

If ten thousand gold is not enough, one hundred thousand gold; if that is not enough, one million gold. The wealth of Yusra Kingdom exceeded Kichi’s expectations. Far away too! Kitsch slapped his snout.

“If I knew this would happen, I would call it billions of gold…!”

Sudden changes in mood that are cause for concern.

“…Are you kitsch drunk?”

“I think you can forget about the story just now. I must have been drunk.”

“Did you already cut the film after running in broad daylight?”

I couldn’t help but think that everyone watching was a drunkard.

But Rockkid knew.

The former leader’s life was obviously sincere.

Still, I couldn’t back down.

“I think it’s time to warm up before the holy war.”

“…warm up?”

“Chief said he was only coming to watch. Why don’t we all be more honest than that? Are you honestly curious?”

“?”

“How elves came to be.”

“…!”

Kitsch looked into Lockkid’s eyes.

It looks like you don’t have the slightest intention of giving up on the shiny thing.

Besides, Rockkid’s words weren’t necessarily wrong.

‘…Elf.’

If dwarves were a rare race, elves were legendary.

Of all the requests from the Shadow Mercenaries, I had never seen a single one related to elves. Even in the request that has been handed down from generation to generation.

Just by looking at it, I could guess how mysterious the elves are.

‘Well, if you look at the sudden popping out, there must be a reason.’

Hmm, information is always important to the mercenaries.

Kichi nodded at Rockkid’s words.

Ok, fine.

“In exchange, fighting is absolutely forbidden.”

“…what?! No fighting on the battlefield? What nonsense are you talking about? Captain, are you worried about me? If that’s the case, that’s a bit impressive!”

“I am impressed. I mean, I got something in advance! Do you know that your body is yours right now?! Just in case you get hurt and get out of the temple. Are you going to spit it out instead of the request fee!”

Magic Tower.

The only elder mage, Yugweed, opened his mouth.

“If it wasn’t for the words of Lee Ho-yeol, the head of the elf, it would be unbelievable news. So the question is, how do I approach those unscrupulous people…”

…cheesy? The elder said slang from the beginning.

I looked at Yugweed, hiding my feelings.

‘Although it feels new.’

Contrary to Yugweed’s mild appearance, his mouth was grumpy. At this point, I was sure.

Like Senios, mages are beings that should never be judged by their appearance.

‘Let’s not trust the first impression.’

However, Marcelo is an exception.

The skinny body was still there.

But not to the point where I don’t feel as alive as before.

It’s worthwhile to cure the curse of a time-limited person after going through a lot of hard work.

“At this point, elves are a big variable.”

Reliably, Marcelo.

Well done, Marcelo.

Indeed, it is different from me who is a parachute.

Knowledge and experience worthy of the head of the Mage Tower.

Marcelo went on to express his opinion.

“Now, of course, the holy war has taken place. There must be a reason why they appeared on the continent of Arcana from Sisley, their hometown. But we cannot predict how that will affect us.”

…Wait a minute.

In the blink of an eye, advanced information is passing by, right?

Elf.

In fact, the moment I saw those two letters in the update history, I wanted to groan. Even after 10 goddamn years, I thought that the hiatus of several years would hold back my ankles again.

But the win of civilization.

The result of opening the Internet and searching for elves.

Ten and a few years ago and now, nothing about elves has been revealed.

That meant players couldn’t even figure out whether elves were just legend or real.

however.

‘Because it’s not enough to be a cheap tribe. The elves’ hometown is Sisley?’

From the mouths of Marcelo and Yugweed.

Information that no player had been able to figure out was popping out!

I etched the information pouring into my head in real time.

Of course, there was no expression of surprise.

“What do you think sir?”

I answered Marcelo’s question shamelessly.

“It’s really unclear what their intentions are.”

Why did the elf fight the demon?

I have no way of knowing the story.

Even if you have the [Evil Eyes Spyglass], considering the flow of time and the cooldown… You must have no conscience in wanting the elf to get caught.

Still, one thing is clear.

“But you can see the demons’ intentions.”

Yes.

What is important to Grandfell’s noble pride is that he is a devil, not an elf.

Anyway, level one is bloody.

It’s level 900.

It’s on a similar level to the giant demon-type monsters you saw on the Arcana continent, right?

Of course, levels aren’t everything.

Even if it was a level 950 monster, it was nothing more than a demon named monster. It means that there is a difference in weight class from boss monsters such as demon kings and giants.

‘Even if you think humbly…’

A new level of sword steel.

Besides, if it was now while the [Blessing of the First World Tree] was still going on.

‘Wouldn’t I be able to take it down by myself?’

Of course it didn’t have to be.

“Then, can we move as we agreed in advance?”

When Yugwid asked, Marcelo answered.

“That’s right. It is the turn of senior Matisse in the Magic Tower.”

Everything according to procedure.

From the Magic Tower to the Frost Muon Shadow Mercenary Corps in Yusra Kingdom. It meant that the order to enter the rift had already been decided according to a prior agreement.

Yugweed looked at me.

“By the way, our chief doesn’t have a day off?”

There are no days off.

What if my boss at work said something like that?

I wondered if he was taking medicine or really wanting to open a game.

This, too, was brought on by my cubic mind…!

In a word, I was kkakdugi.

It means that I was guaranteed the ‘right’ to enter the rift regardless of the procedure or the set order. The pride that demons cannot let go of is so tiring, really.

But I couldn’t reveal my pitiful heart.

“We’ll discuss the details at the roundtable after we return.”

Yes, even if you regret it now, it is something that cannot be undone.

Let’s accept the fate of Kkakdugi, Hoyeol.

Anyway, it was necessary to know for sure before entering the rift.

‘Why did the battle break out between the two factions?’

It must have happened recently that elves appeared on the continent of Arcana from Sisley. The devil wouldn’t have quarreled with those elves first.

Because the demons were ahead of the [Demon King Battle].

They are busy hitting and fighting among themselves.

There’s no reason to touch an elf.

‘Then doesn’t that mean the elf started the fight first?’

Pride before victory.

Just like Grandfel did.

The timing was too late to say that the elves moved because they couldn’t see the arcana continent being devastated by demonic beasts. I’m sure there’s a different reason

…

I never thought Yugweed’s words would feel so meaningful.

In that sense, I was very fortunate that the senior accompanying me was Matisse.

Among the other seniors, it was Benshi.

‘Won’t you know when the rift attack is over because you’re nagging?’

I headed to the office.

The tea was immediately brewed.

It is not for the purpose of leisurely enjoying tea time, but for non-herb doping.

Now that the variable called elf exists.

The more thorough the preparation, the more there will be no shortage.

Click—

but soon I put the teacup down.
