The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 211: This is not the right time to say hello (2)

Time and Space or [Stagnant Water Community].

There was a gap between reality and the Arcana Continent. I confirmed that there were several elements added as the Stagnant Water community, which only existed as a setting, was realized in time and space.

Starting from the fact that the community was realized as a social gathering to the fact that the duel of time and space was taking place at the Colosseum. Of course, despite such changes, some principles remained the same.

The time and space were a space only for the transcendents.

You had to have something like a circle.

Or the quick sword technique.

Otherwise, it was for people like me, who threw Gamigin into hell.

You had to have an achievement that would shock anyone.

Literally transcendent.

In other words, you must have the quality to be called stagnant water.

I didnt want to say this with my own mouth, but.

Basically, you have to be special.

Although I didnt know when time and space began to exist in the Arcana Continent. Considering the difficult qualification tests, the number of transcendents could not have been many.

I witnessed about fifteen of them.

Really, considering the long history of the Arcana Continent.

Only people who had made a mark on the times could enter time and space.

I feel like I am painting my face golden.

But what was my specialty? It was knowing my place.

I was well aware.

The reason why I came to a transcendent.

The fact that I was not alone in my abilities.

A special situation in which the Gate of Hell was opened due to the Battle for the Demon King. I was well aware that I could accomplish this achievement thanks to the cooperation of Akshan sunbaenims who were summoned from hell through [Akshans Perserverence].

That was why I could guarantee it.

At this point, none of the players, except me, could enter the time and space. Even taking into account the variable called hidden class and the fact that levels were just numbers.

At this point, the time and space were not areas that players could dare to venture into.

Tap tap

So I took a step forward.

In the social gathering of time and space that players couldnt enter.

Really, out of nowhere.

The pointed hat showed up at the table.

The large pointed hat.

Although I couldnt see her face because the hat covered it.

That flowing blondie hair was unmistakable.

Jessie Heinness.

I opened my mouth.

Reveal your identity.

Clink

At my words, the person who looked like Jessie put down the teacup she was holding.

Wait a minute.

At times like this, Grandfels madness toward tea was helpful.

I could tell it was black tea by the scent.

Yeah, exactly.

This was another reason that made Grandfel and I certain.

Jessie was the only one.

Im sorry! As expected, tea doesnt taste good!

The only person who left behind the green tea I served.

It wasnt because tea bag green tea was cheap.

According to Jesses excuse that was not really an excuse, she didnt like everything from coffee to black tea.

She confessed that she couldnt even touch the tea.

She said that with her own mouth.

Have you already forgotten my name?

Therefore, that kind of acting didnt work.

And if youre going to act, you have to do it properly.

You have to end your words with an exclamation point, not a question mark.

Ill ask you one last time.

?

Reveal your identity.

I felt it once again, this voice was cold.

Thanks to that, Jessie

No, she was not Jessie.

The person who acted as Jessie.

I thought she would play some tricks, but it seemed she had given up.

Sk

The pointed hat moved slowly.

From under the pointed hat, her face was revealed.

I heard an unfamiliar tone.

How did you notice it? You havent changed.

You havent changed.

There was no exclamation point in her eyes.

You could tell she was not Jessie at a glance.

Dont tell me.

By the way, I couldnt help this damn occupational disease.

She might look like Jessie Heinness, but her spirit didnt.

The first thing I thought of was the possibility of demonic possession.

No, she doesnt stink.

In addition, she didnt trigger the Natural Enemy Relationship.

So it was not a rampaging demon this time?

Maybe that was why I was even more doubtful.

Who are you?

I didnt really mean to deceive you. I was just trying to make a joke. If I could take my brain out and show it to you, you would immediately understand my playfulness.

The atmosphere completely changed once she put away her clumsy acting.

The voice that stretched out from everywhere was fully relaxed.

How should I say this, I felt like she had experienced all sorts of hardship.

In this situation.

You could tell that much just by looking at her sitting with her legs crossed.

But fortunately for me.

Of course, this situation must be difficult to accept, isnt it? I think it will take a long time to explain the full story of this situation

She didnt have a sharp attitude.

Soon, my gaze turned to the chair across from her.

Of course, that didnt necessarily mean I was a great person who would simply follow what other people said. As I stood up straight and stared, ignoring the unspoken suggestion, the person wearing Jessies face muttered slyly.

Oh, formality. The most important thing, I forgot.

Then, the menu for the social gathering was displayed.

Ill treat you to tea, so can we talk?

Live in formality, die in formality.

As a courtesy, I sat down across from her.

Unfortunately.

My original goal was the transcendent riding a broom

I didnt see her at the current social gathering.

Moreover, now that I realized that Jessie was not Jessie.

This wasnt something I could just overlook.

You know.

I didnt know who took over Jessies body, but.

In this case, I felt sorry for that person.

Jessie Heiness is one of the key forces of mankind.

Her class was Archmage.

I heard that Jessies potential had been famous since the days when Arcana was just a game.

I heard that NPCs that a normal player couldnt talk to were friendly to Jessie. She was even acquainted with Harkon.

So lets hear her whole story.

Do you want the same black tea as me?

At her words, I looked at the teacup on the table.

Unfortunately, there was no green tea in the social gathering of time and space.

Since I knew that.

I had already finished doping myself with enough green tea.

Thanks to that, I spoke without any regrets.

Lets skip the nonsense and get to the point.

I continued with an even colder tone.

Its not like we can enjoy a leisurely tea time.

I just didnt like black tea.

If it was green tea, I would drink it because I liked it.

Dont make excuses that seem reasonable, Grandfel

Who was the greatest mage of all time?

Before the Cataclysm.

Such a question was frequently asked in the Arcana Continent.

It was only natural.

For ordinary people, mages were objects of admiration.

Fire Dragon, Karimzeva.

Eternal Snow, Senios.

Gentle Giant, Yugwid, etc

Moreover, the magic had a compatibility of biting and being bitten.

Rock, paper, scissors with no correct answer were the most interesting.

There was no right answer to the question of who the best mage of all time was, but it was a good topic to talk about.

If so, questions would inevitably follow.

Unless there was a clear strongest.

There was a reason why an archmage was called an archmage.

Some mages had said.

Regardless of ability, the archmage is more like an alias.

Because theyre different from ordinary mages.

There can be no comparison.

How can you compare a unique existence to others?

Yeah, the archmage was not a position to be won.

It was meant to be chosen.

Jessie Heinness, an adventurer, was chosen as the archmage.

It was something no one expected.

Including the Emperor of the Empire.

Maybe this too is the grace of the Goddess.

For the Empire that always had to keep an eye on the Mage Tower, it was a great opportunity

If they could recruit the Archmage Jessie as an ally.

They wouldnt have to worry about the Mage Tower forever.

However.

Its a variable to another variable.

The Mage Tower didnt stay still either.

Perhaps that was why.

Uncharacteristically, Jessie, an adventurer, was allowed to enter the Magic Tower.

The qualification process was omitted and the apprenticeship mage class was granted to her.

Who made such a bold decision?

Of course, it was the head.

Even the elder mages couldnt make such a decision.

Yes, everything was for the will of the tower.

Then the Tower Master lost consciousness.

Right before he floated in the mana sphere.

His only message written down was Jessie Heinness disposition.

That was all the world knew about the archmage.

As well as the current archmage.

That was the information about Jessie Heinness.

But was that really everything?

Jessies shell twitched.

The mages are basically arrogant. As the chief of the Mage Tower, dont you know better than anyone else? There is no teacher-disciple relationship between mages.

Elder, Chief, Senior, Skilled, Apprentice.

The mages of the Mage Tower were classified into five classes.

However, no class could be referred to as teacher and disciple.

Even seniors and skilled mages, who could be said to be close, only had a cooperative relationship, and in some cases, it became a competitive relationship during the senior election period.

Would it be possible for an archmage to suppress that nature?

The corner of her eyes curved.

That unfamiliar smile was unlike Jessie again.

It was a reminder that she was a stranger wearing Jessies shell.

Teacher and disciple There may have been one or two people who thought that way. Well, a lot of people didnt, including me.

Tk

Her finger touched the brim of the pointed hat.

If I said this much, would you understand?

To sum it up, it was like this.

The archmages of the previous generation existed within the pointed hat as a consciousness.

Their purpose was to witness the limit beyond the state of magic.

That was the optimal way to reach the limit.

It was a one-person tradition passed down by the archmages.

Well, why havent you said anything? Is it because the reality of the archmages is completely different from what you think? Our Chief Lee is also a mage in the end. I thought you would understand how I feel.

Her eyes narrowed, like a crescent moon.

They say that the shackles of the body narrow ones perspective. So what does the world look like through a new body? Beyond that, what is the world seen through the body of an adventurer born in another world, not the Arcana Continent?

Yeah.

That was why they chose Jessie Heinness as the vessel of the archmage.

It was the decision of the archmages wearing the mask of Jessie.

Of course, this is possible because the party involved has understood and agreed to everything. I dont know if there was some kind of mental change. This kid has been working really hard lately. But then she passed out from exhaustion.

The archmage shrugged their shoulders and said so.

That means that this child can run around like this even when she is unconscious. Whose consciousness emerges is purely up to luck. In that regard, was it luck for me?

It had been a while since they saw the world outside.

They wanted to tease him for a second.

That one archmage of many consciousness whispered.

By the way, my share of gold coins has run out

While holding an empty teacup.

Can I get a drink? No, can I?

Then Hoyeol, who had been silent, finally opened his mouth.

Was it simply to witness the limits of magic?

Thats right. To borrow the Mage Towers word, it is truth. In fact, even if that wasnt the case, thanks to this childs strength, I think Im slowly starting to see the truth. Surprisingly, I understood that difficult concept. [Oddity].

Of course, her understanding of magic was terrible.

But it was nothing to worry about because they were here.

The archmage added at the end.

Because this child had the role of a vessel from the beginning.

That was a clear mistake.

Thats a shame, then.

A shame?

The road to oddity.

It was not out of arrogance or self-indulgence.

He said these words because he had the right to do so.

A confident voice spoke to the archmage.

You wont be there.

.

.

.

She cherished it so much.

I had guessed it wasnt an ordinary pointed hat.

However, I never imagined that it contained the archmages consciousness. And not just one or two, there were so many of them that you couldnt count them with your fingers!

Of course, I wasnt surprised by their reason.

Eternal Snow, Elder Mage Senios.

He broke my illusions about mages a long time ago. I knew first hand that the mage families were hopeless by nature.

Besides, Jessie must have known.

Jessie was carrying out the archmages class quest.

As long as the system existed as the players privilege, Jessie would have understood the result of her actions through the system window.

Suddenly, I recalled the words of the archmage.

I dont know if there was some kind of mental change. This kid has been working really hard lately.

From the great evil to the demon king to the Zero Mountain.

It was a series of situations where you couldnt but feel helpless

Nevertheless, Jessie must have overcome her helplessness and stood up.

Just like how the other players looked to Zero Mountain to grow. Jessie must have done the archmages class quest to grow as well.

Yes, that must have been Jessies pride.

However.

What, shes just a vessel?

You look down on other peoples pride in front of Grandfel.

Archmage, you made a big mistake.

Were not going to on that road?

They didnt seem to know what I was talking about.

I supposed it was only natural.

I was the founder of [oddity].

At this point, the closest thing to the limit of magic.

You cant even imagine it.

As of this time.

?

So dont misunderstand.

I, the founder of oddity.

What?

Ill help you know your place.

I do not allow you to approach oddity.
