The Player Hides His Past Chapter 416

Episode 416. Pandora’s Box (1)

Yesekawa Enoch.

The two knights lowered their heads.

Harkon opened his mouth.

“is it.”

adventurer’s world.

Rumors spread so quickly that it could not be compared to the Arcana continent. Rumors are bound to circulate. At least, there were no lies in the news that the adventurers delivered. Why didn’t I say that an adventurer’s vision doesn’t lie?

Harkon spoke calmly.

“Your Majesty laid down the heavy burden first.”

Each man carries his own burden.

Harkon has always been thinking.

Maybe death might be the liberation that can throw off the task.

He was always close to death.

It may have been an instinctive way of thinking to shake off the fear of death. Harkon continued talking to Yeshika and Enoch, who suppressed their emotions.

“Let’s get ready to go out.”

Enter the Arcana Continent.

The time I promised with Ho-yeol was approaching. The two knights retreated, and Harkon pondered. The next emperor… Indeed, at this point, the only person who can take the place of His Majesty’s vacancy is Kyung.

Hoyeol saved the empire from crisis several times. There are not many people who will question the legitimacy of the fact that the emperor himself tried to give the emperor’s seat to Ho-yeol.

It was the same with Harkon.

“Of course, I’ll have to treat you harder than I do now.”

Maybe I should get used to being called Majesty instead of Sir.

Shall we practice beforehand?

Harkon thought.

However, it did not come off easily.

“…”

Harkon’s lips trembled.

yeah i can’t accept it

It’s not that he can’t recognize Ho Yeol as the next emperor.

I…

“…Why did you leave first, Your Majesty?”

I just couldn’t believe the death of the emperor.

Even though he lost both legs, he held onto his spirit, hoping for a reunion with the emperor. Even though I heard that I would never be able to stand on the battlefield again, I overcame it. It was still meant to be the emperor’s sword.

But why didn’t you wait for me? Did you close your eyes in terrible pain that you couldn’t bear?

Harkon’s eyes moistened slightly.

“You mean now?”

Just a few hours before the reunion.

Are you telling me this sad news?

There were so many stories to tell.

“….”

Harkon looked at the whole view of Yusra with empty eyes. There were excited adventurers. It must have been because of the news that Lord Hoyeol was about to be crowned as the new emperor.

“You’re still narrow-minded, Harkon.”

It’s natural to be happy.

To them, the emperor has no one-sided attitude.

He would be nothing more than the lord of a completely different world.

So, the world of adventurers.

I didn’t even expect to send condolences for the emperor.

That’s why Harkon made a resolution with exhausted eyes.

“I will remember you.”

Even if no one remembers your death.

Me and the Knights of the Lionheart, you.

I will not forget you.

It was the moment when Harkon immediately clenched his fist.

A muffled sound came from beyond the window.

“uh? Isn’t that the imperial flag?”

The ancient kingdom of Yusra.

In this place, not in the imperial territory.

I saw the fluttering imperial flag.

“!”

For an instant, Harkon’s eyes relaxed.

Only two can raise a flag in the Golden Palace.

Sir Hakunawa Hoyeol, the king of Yusura.

However, Hakuna will not know about the imperial flag.

Harkon opened his mouth.

“…was it?”

They say that no one in this world can think of the emperor.

Sir, I did not forget.

Harkon bowed his head toward the fluttering Imperial flag.

“Please forgive me generously, Your Majesty.”

It’s early, but it seems the time has come to serve a new lord.

The system does not lie.

The death of Emperor Seric Rose means that he really died.

It doesn’t sound like a story to someone else…?

‘Because I died a little earlier.’

It’s just that [The Last Adventurer] worked for me.

I looked at the silent reporters.

I just quietly hold the camera.

No one thought to fire the flash.

Well worth it.

‘There are words I spit out.’

Just like my bluff, the Ryan Heart Knights’ expressions were spleen. By the way, would the mere raising of the imperial flag be enough condolences for the emperor?

‘well.’

But I hope you understand.

This is the best condolence I can send to the emperor of the Arcana continent in real life. At the same time, it was the utmost respect for the emperor who tried to protect the empire until the very end despite the devil’s tricks and rebellions.

of course.

‘It’s a story in real life.’

If you enter the Arcana Continent properly.

Befitting the emperor’s name, he must be sent away.

But before that, there are some things you need to check.

‘Pride.’

Seven Deadly Sins Arrogance.

The direct cause of the emperor’s death may have been [The Emperor’s Library], but pride must have had an effect on the Emperor’s borrowing of the Emperor’s Library’s power.

Harkon didn’t seem to forget that fact either.

Did you calm down your fluctuating emotions?

The sadness in Harkon’s eyes disappeared before he knew it.

Harkon nods at me.

I opened my mouth.

“Then let’s start.”

He stepped towards the portal and continued.

“For a reunion.”

Basically, the target coordinates of the portal of the Mage Tower are set to Cloudy’s territory, but there is no need or time to stop by Cloudy’s during busy hours.

‘It’s all thanks to the senior authority.’

Of course, this is possible because the understanding of gii is also supported.

I immediately changed the target coordinates of the magic tower portal to Antonium.

and faced

A vision that gradually brightens.

The still magnificent walls of Antonium.

“I’m back, Your Majesty.”

Harkon bows his head towards Antonium.

Because I know it’s not over yet.

The silence did not last long.

The magical power flow of the strange portal is at a level that is enough to be wary of. Senior wizards who can sense magic appeared through teleportation all at once.

They look at me and say something to each of them.

“I’ll see you again in exactly four days.”

“Chief…!”

“Chief Lee, by any chance, would have watched my performance!”

In order, Matisse Bellier Bensch.

Everyone has so many stories to tell, right?

Especially Senior Bensh William.

There are more than one or two things I want to ask you.

As I said, I had to track down Pride, the culprit behind this situation.

I asked straight forward.

“How is the condition?”

“As you can see, I’m fine… cool!”

Banshee covered his mouth.

Although no blood came out.

It’s just as painful as that.

If that’s the case, there’s nothing you can do about it.

“Banshee William, you will be excluded from this operation.”

“yes? Are you outside?! I’m still fine, chief!! Keck.”

Cool cool cool cool—!

Why don’t you start with that cough, Mr. Banshee?

Leaving Banshee with a pitiful expression behind her.

Matisse asked me.

“If it is an operation. Did you guess something, sir?”

Gooooo—

I responded by raising my magic power. Excluding the wounded Banshee, the magic that surrounds the two seniors, the Lion Heart Knights and Matisse Valley.

[Large-scale teleport]

Thanks to having obtained magic that is different from the class. Even with the same amount of horsepower, it is possible to manifest thanks to its efficiency that is incomparable to others. The target coordinates were, of course, the imperial palace.

changing vision.

“What the hell just happened?”

“What are these thorns?”

“More than that, His Majesty…”

It must have been that he hadn’t grasped the situation yet.

I see the servants who are confused.

It was Harkon who awakened them.

“Everyone, wake up!”

The voice of a roaring lion.

The guards shrug their shoulders.

The servants who had been sitting down jumped up from their seats.

“Haharkon Knights Commander…?”

“I am really alive!”

“Now is not the time to be soaked in the thrill of a reunion.”

Harkon suppressed his emotions and gave an order straight away.

“Do you remember, guardsmen? The man who set foot in the imperial palace. Do you remember where the man who called himself Cloudy is now?”

“…!”

At those words, the servants came to their senses.

“I said I had a story to share with Your Majesty, and disappeared alone.”

“Where did Your Majesty go?”

“Unfortunately, I don’t know that far.”

sereung.

Harkon drew his sword.

“Knights, search the imperial palace thoroughly!”

Likewise, Lionheart knights with their swords raised began to scatter throughout the imperial palace. Of course I didn’t run. I just sat there and focused on my sense of smell.

‘Mmm.’

A demon hunter’s hypersensitive senses.

It is a [natural enemy relationship] that even distant demons can sense. However, the fact that the activation message didn’t come to mind… probably means that the Pride guy may have already left the Imperial Palace.

‘It’s tricky in many ways.’

Above all, he might know more about Cloudy than I do. Now, even if he had fallen into a demon, he was Claudy with the same blood, so he was proud.

‘Is there no choice but to summon Tempest and track the smell?’

By the way, The Tempest Over the Horizon.

To recite that grotesque full name.

Aren’t there too many eyes to see?

It was a fleeting but serious moment.

“Captain Harkon!”

An urgent voice echoed through the imperial palace.

did you find something Heading to where the commotion happened. A place that was familiar to me also caught my eye. Because it was the entrance to the secret corridor leading to the basement of the imperial palace.

Enoch reports.

“I found a suspicious person here.”

“Are you suspicious?”

“no way. It’s disappointing to be a suspicious person… Huh?”

I recognized it even before I raised my head, which had been deeply bowed.

Emilio, the king of scavengers.

He was captured by the Lion Heart Knights in the basement of the imperial palace.

“Hey Cloudy. It must have been four days already?”

“…four days? Commander, do you know that man?”

I nodded at Harkon’s question.

Then, the binding loosened immediately.

I had nothing to ask.

Emilio soon reported what had happened to me, without missing anything.

Harkon opened his mouth.

“…I’ll check it with my own two eyes, Commander-in-Chief.”

Harkon paved the way at the forefront.

To sum up Emilio’s words, it was simple. The emperor and previous emperors turned into perfect roses. I couldn’t become a full-blown rose, not a flower, and return to human beings like the people of Antonium.

The road to the Emperor’s library was not difficult.

The thorny vines that covered the floor were so dry they crumbled just by touching them. Thanks to that, I faced it without difficulty. With the roses that bloomed in the Emperor’s library.

It must have run out of life force.

I also wanted that light.

As if a mere touch would cause the dark red leaves to fall.

dump.

“Ah…”

Harkon knelt in front of the rose.

Maybe if you touch it, it will turn to dust.

He touched the air with trembling hands and opened his mouth.

“I couldn’t even imagine that the Emperor’s Library could devour Your Majesty. Without knowing that terrible fact… I dared to say what it would be like to borrow the power of Seogo from His Majesty.”

There is a big difference between vaguely accepting it and facing it.

Even me, who only met the Emperor a few times.

Right now I can’t escape from sadness.

No one was surprised that Harkon shed tears.

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. I couldn’t protect Your Majesty because I became your right hand. I didn’t notice Your Majesty’s troubles. I couldn’t share the pain you must have felt at the last moment…!”

It was then.

Matisse, who had been silent, opened his mouth.

Matisse was fixing the ring.

A magic tool that responds to appropriate magic power.

“Lord Harkon, I don’t feel the magic power suitable for this place.”

“…?”

“It means that the emperor had no regrets at all.”

Appropriate mana that comes from the past and background.

That I don’t feel that kind of magic power. Even if the emperor died unexpectedly in the Emperor’s library, it meant that he had no regrets or sadness.

Will that fact comfort Harkon?

“Is that so, Matisse…?”

Harkon laughed bitterly.

‘Well, it’s something I can’t figure out.’

But I had my doubts.

What did the emperor see?

Even in front of the emperor’s library.

Even in front of Pride.

Didn’t he leave no regrets, regrets, or fears?

‘Even if that’s not the case, I’ll have to look into it.’

I slowly raised my magic power.
