The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 157: Raise your head

Chapter 157: Raise your head

Arcana sky.

The dwarves on the Iron Castle moved diligently.

Night flight.

It was a night when the demons activities became more active because the evil eyes opened their eyes. Why did the Iron Castle not stop flying even at night, unlike usual?

Really, I cant believe it.

It wasnt hard to explain in words.

Akshans last survivor.

It was thanks to Lee Hoyeol, an adventurer.

How can he get this information from another world?

Chainwalker, the leader of the dwarves, recalled Haiels words.

He said you probably wont see any major movement.

Yeah, they had expected that too. It might be only a very small number, but Iron Castle managed to wipe out millions of demons with its secret weapon.

However.

Chainwalker, do you think that makes sense? He understands the situation of the Continent more accurately than those of us who are looking down at the ground and flying in the sky!

It was as he said.

The information was detailed enough that they could continue sailing through the clouds.

They couldnt even predict this with their technology.

Its just like last night. What are the limits of that ability!

Chainwalker said with a smile.

Just trust him.

It was an unbelievable performance.

Since it was a relationship based on an oath, they had no choice but to trust him.

Besides, now was not the time to look for excuses.

Because this was hard work for a favor, not a request.

He said that he wanted to collect the remains of the decisive battle weapon.

Akshans Battle Weapon, Qirnberg Mechanical Tower.

Even at this moment, the machine tower was hunting demons all over the continent.

As the power of the demons grew stronger, not all machine towers could stay intact.

As the inventor, he estimated

At least five or six machine towers had stopped working for the foreseeable future.

Chainwalkers smile was filled with bitterness.

He thought of something that even we didnt care about.

Iron was just iron.

Iron machines were also just machines.

They felt ashamed of their own thoughts.

Hoyeol paid tribute to Akshans legacy, the Qirnberg Machine Tower. That was why he wanted to recover the debris. Now that he had realized Hoyeols feelings, even if it was too late.

In order to make up for it, they had to recover the remains of the machine tower quickly.

Come on, everybody hurry up!

Slam!

The machine device meshed together again.

At that moment.

Warmth swirled in the cold Iron Castle.

!

Haiel showed up. She had been summoned by Hoyeol and now returned to the Iron Castle. Chainwalker quickly approached Haiel.

Haiel, did Sir Hoyeol say anything?

Haiel nodded gracefully.

There was a stone in Haiels arms.

To be exact.

Blacksmith, forge this into the best weapon.

!

The talking ore.

What kind of race were the dwarves?

As the greatest blacksmith on the Arcana continent.

They had technical skills comparable to the magic of the Mage Tower. No matter how rare the mineral was, they could pound on most of them.

But Chainwalkers face turned pale.

I-Isnt this an ethereal iron? Where on earth did you get this thing?

Akshans last survivor, Lee Hoyeol.

His vessel was deep, but it was really too deep.

You could even say it was infinitely deep.

*

Yusra Kingdom office.

My ears were badly itchy.

However, picking your ears against the head of your desk would be against formality.

Besides, Id done a lot of things to cause my ears to itch again.

Well, starting with the umbrella fight, which was painful just to think about

Whatever. If I said it, I would be the only one hurt.

Still arrogant.

I wondered why he described himself all of a sudden.

It was a remark directed at the demons of the Arcana Continent.

At the end of the duration, [Evil Eyes Telescope] closed its eyes again.

The appearance of the Arcana Continent was exactly as expected.

A battle.

The battle for the demon king.

The demons were slowly moving ahead of the civil war. If you thought about it, they were the ones who could challenge for the position of demon king. All of them were different from ordinary demons in appearance.

Not only do they call themselves kings, but they also make some rankings?

Well, from Grandfels perspective, there was nothing more ridiculous.

Typical of an inferior race, they choose to do meaningless things.

Prey were all the same, why would you give them numbers?

But not for me, Lee Hoyeol.

The day I entered the Arcana Continent alone.

The day I jumped into the crowd of millions of demons.

I realized it properly.

It is a scale that is incomparable to anything we have done so far.

More than a large event, it was a world-class event.

Therefore, it would appear as a rupture through the update.

In other words, it was an event that would eventually threaten reality.

I knew that.

Including the [Unfinished Holy War] quest, I had been struggling in various ways. My own growth was something I shouldnt forget.

My gaze naturally turned to the status window.

[Level: 494]

You cant judge me based on numbers.

Youre so consistent, seriously.

Well, he wasnt wrong again.

Because rather than relying on level, fundamental growth was also important.

Of course, I had been digging wells with effort.

Including shooting, and accumulating magical knowledge,

And refining my sword skills to a new level.

I needed to check to make sure the holes werent clogged.

But the level is equally important.

Aside from the [Natural Enemy Relationship], I had nothing to lose because my level was high.

This meant that I should pack up everything I could in advance. However, as I had lamented over and over again, it was not that difficult to level up to level 500.

[Falling Old Tree Garden]

[Recommended level: Lv.400~Lv.450]

[Collapse rate: 3.1%]

[Man-eating Insect Habitat]

[Recommended level: Lv.450]

[Collapse rate: 10.1%]

Lets look at the major ruptures that had been created at this point.

Well, as long as I spent all day hitting monsters in the rupture like other players. I might get some changes in level and experience, but

As I said earlier, there was no time for that.

It might be different if I had two bodies.

It was true that this level of rupture was less efficient compared to the time I had.

In that case.

Finally, the savings I had been keeping.

The time had come to break it!

[Experience point is accumulating in the decisive battle weapon, Qirnber Machine Tower.]

[Fame is accumulating in the decisive battle weapon, Qirnber Machine Tower.]

[You have obtained the right to acquire accumulated experience and reputation.]

Right, I was referring to the accumulated experience and reputation of the Qirnberg Machine Tower.

My grand plan.

It had been delivered to Chainwalker through Haiel.

Even if I only retrieved one of them

Wouldnt it raise at least a few dozen levels?

The greater the expectation, the bigger the disappointment. But this time it was worth looking forward to.

It was none other than Akshans battle weapon.

That Akshan, who had pushed back against the great evil and the demon kings even in the midst of the overwhelming disadvantages in the Holy War.

I will not forget your pride.

Yes, I wouldnt forget and use it properly.

Of course, my feelings.

I couldnt express them to Chainwalker and the other dwarves. I conveyed my message to Hiel as concisely as possible. Lastly, I added the ethereal iron.

Theres no reason to delay smelting it anymore.

Ethereal iron, a mineral used as a material for Ego equipment.

Since it had so much potential, how would they smelt it?

It was true that I was worried.

First of all, what bothered me most was the level restriction.

No matter how good it is, its useless if I cant wear it.

If they paid attention to the level, its performance wouldnt be good enough.

If they prioritized its performance, the level restriction would increase.

I had no choice but to suffer a dilemma.

However, I also gained enlightenment through this experience.

Performance would always be the top priority!

Item with 800-level restriction, [Evil Earth Dragons Fang].

I used an item I couldnt even imagine wearing with magic and [aesthetic]. Thanks to the Holy War, I couldnt ignore power. The same was true for the ego equipment that was made by smelting the ethereal iron.

Wait a minute, doesnt having an ego make it more useful?

At that moment, I thought of a plausible possibility.

When the ego equipment was completed, it wouldnt be too late to think about it then.

In that regard, its a very wise decision to entrust the dwarves with the smelting of the ethereal iron, Hoyeol.

Although the last word added to Haiel was not very wise.

Also tell them that I will pay for all their effort as much as they want.

As much as they want!

Instead of a nobleman, I seemed to spend the money I saved up with integrity like a prime minister.

Anyway, since I had already said it.

All I could was pray for the smelting to be worth its price.

I trust them without a doubt.

I got up from my seat.

It was close to the time of the appointment.

I didnt doubt the technological prowess and pride of the dwarves.

But it was impossible to know what was inside people.

In other words, I had to face each other in person to know.

My destination was the AAU Korea branch.

I lightly adjusted my clothes.

Soon, I straightened my back and raised my mana.

A portal appeared.

Like I said, time is like afternoon tea.

So to speak.

Out of the 24 hours, the afternoon was a particularly precious time.

Everyone, I hope you come to the appointment on time.

This force of boomer was tactless even in front of the superhumans called the senior mages of the Mage Tower. It was not like I could restrain myself in front of AAU branch heads

*

AAUs South Korean branch.

Conference room.

The first to arrive was the head of AAUs London branch, Baker Chat.

Baker smiled brightly when he found Park Minjae.

Mr. Park, your face has improved a lot!

That guy wasnt such a nice guy, was he?

England was a member of the AAU but was not cooperative.

Baker, the branch manager, was the same way.

At least in Park Minjaes memories.

He felt like he had never seen Bakers smile.

You came early. Branch Manager Baker.

I am truly indebted.

Indebted, you say. Are you perhaps talking about Player Lee Hoyeol?

As expected, there was a reason why he was happy to see him, right?

He shouldnt have made unnecessary misunderstandings when the person concerned was present.

Park Minjae quickly let go of the hand he was shaking and continued speaking.

You may not believe it, but today is my first time meeting face-to-face too.

Yes, this is our first meeting, right? This is also my first time meeting Mr. Park face to face!

No, I mean this is the first time meeting Player Lee Hoyeol face-to-face, not you.

Ah, thats what you mean!

Baker finally realized why Park Minjae was restless.

However, the greeting just now was not just a thank you to Hoyeol.

Then you dont have to decline.

?

I dont intend to replace my feelings with just a few words like now.

He got possessed by a demon.

Baker recognized that fact.

This was after Schraig told him the whole story.

Since his mental power was inevitably lower than that of ordinary people and players.

He had completely lost control to the demon and had been in a state where he was not even conscious.

Lee Hoyeol saved me like that.

No, more than that, Hoyeol had saved London.

It would be unbecoming of a gentleman to repay the favor with just a simple greeting.

It wasnt just him.

On the same day, even the Prime Minister had gotten caught up in the rupture.

The Queen had given him the same message.

Mr. Park.

Yes, I am listening. Branch Manager Baker.

From now on we, England, will take action.

Take action?

Are you saying that you are going to take an independent route like China?

For a moment, Park Minjae was nervous.

It was a useless concern.

A familiar word came out of Bakers mouth.

I will move according to my pride.

!

The moment the two men finished the meaningful conversation.

Branch heads from all over the world gathered in time for the impending event.

Indeed, it was as Park Minjae expected.

Everyone had no choice but to rush over.

A closed emergency meeting that was not known to the outside world.

If they didnt attend.

There was no way to know what was discussed at the meeting.

This was not just another player. Not attending a meeting with Lee Hoyeol?

They would never know what top-secret information they might miss.

Of course, going further, each person would have their own agenda.

Especially America.

The United States was the only country with two AAU branches, one on the East and one on the West. It would have been enough for just one of them to attend. Considering that the two branch managers expressed their intention to attend

Somehow, it was easy to clearly see through them.

Shake.

Theres nothing wrong with it, but it bothers me.

Park Minjae shook his legs out of nervousness.

Before long, it was time for the appointment.

At that moment, the air changed enough for everyone to notice.

Goo!

A halo of magical light flickered in the air.

Lee Hoyeol appeared through the portal.

Without even being arranged beforehand.

Everyone rose from their seats.

Starting with Baker.

Clap clap clap clap~

Claps erupted everywhere.

Indeed.

Regardless of their interests, Hoyeols performance was in line with the purpose of AAUs founding. It was only natural for them to praise the appearance of a real hero.

But the applause didnt last long.

The sudden applause might be burdensome.

But Hoyeol opened his mouth with an expression that didnt change at all.

I will skip the hospitality because of the time.

In a cold voice.

Because of this, the atmosphere cooled rapidly.

A colder gaze turned to the conference room clock.

Soon, words that no one expected followed.

Also, I have nothing to talk about with those who cant even be punctual.

!!!

At the same time.

Without anyone touching it.

The door to the conference room was closed firmly.

Thud!

.

.

.

Good.

There is no escape now.

Demon, raise your head.
