Chapter 41. Long Time No See (1)

You even sent me a note to welcome me.

Its been a while.

I looked at the words scrawled across the parchment.

I thought I apologized properly.

Does this mean I need to wait until the next one?

Well, that was probably fine.

Even without this, I had a lot of work to do.

I was on a tight schedule.

I closed the magic book I was reading.

Lets get going.

To the Kingdom of Yusra.

In the press, on the internet.

The interest in the Kingdom of Yusra was overwhelming.

If anyone was excited, it was the Korean media.

Gaon and Berserker.

The quest to rebuild the Kingdom of Yusra was only available to two guilds.

[Exclusive] Japanese Expert, Gaon and Inazumas ranking change is certain. Entering 3rd place is not a dream.

[This time, the National Assembly] Dreaming of a future led by Gaon and supported by mythology. followed by a self-congratulatory statement that this achievement is the result of national policy.

[Exclusive interview] Nam Tae-min refuses to be interviewed, There is nothing I can say. Ill just do my best.

When I see articles like that, it makes me think.

Its not just any player doing it, really.

How tired can you imagine?

The backlash you get when you say something.

The constant speculation.

The requests for interviews.

In that case, Im grateful.

For being such a prick.

-Move over. My patience is wearing thin.

-Theres nothing formal about him.

-So Im not going to take any questions.

Words spoken unfiltered on camera.

Its a line that makes me cringe every time I say it again.

Is it because of that?

Because I didnt have any reporters coming up to me.

No, it wasnt just journalists.

Players were no different.

The lobby of Magic Tower.

A crowd of players gathered around the portal.

No, why dont you just take a break and run around the cracks?

Hmph. Its Lee Ho-yeol. Lee Ho-yeol!

Shhh! First of all, everyone shut up.

Flowing silence

The noisy place is suddenly quiet.

The old me would have been restless.

These things are pushing me away.

Im imagining things.

But humans are creatures of adaptation.

I was getting used to this reaction.

My head, my heart.

I had come to relish the silence.

Suddenly, I had a picture in my head and in my heart.

.

Even in front of the ranked players, who were the best of the best.

Even in front of the senior wizards of the Magic Tower.

So this was nothing to be impressed with.

Its just another day.

Again.

I thought as I entered the portal.

How shameless you are, Ho Yeol.

.

.

.

My reason for visiting the Kingdom of Yusra is simple.

I must see Harkon.

I must ask him questions about the Sword.

But first, I need to check something out.

Id be a fool not to capitalize on what Ive gained by leaving my integrity behind.

Oh, yes, definitely.

A reward from a successful Hidden Quest.

My ties to the Kingdom of Yusra and my influence have increased to their maximum.

As a result, the [Authority] function in the Kingdom of Yusra has been activated.

Lets make sure I get it right.

I wanted to make sure I understood the exact function of the privilege.

Actually, I had some idea.

Why, theres a lot of talk on the internet.

-Gaon and Berserker are blessed, arent they?

-If you build relationships and influence with quests, youll be able to get knighthoods and stuff when the kingdom is rebuilt, right? D-D

-Shining and Scal will burst inside In the kingdom of Yusra, Leonie and Nam Tae-min may tell you to use respect.

Relationships and influence.

And the possibility of earning a title.

Its common knowledge from the days when Arcana was a game.

That was why players were so obsessed with connections and influence.

Of course, their importance varies with size.

Influence in a small town.

Influence in a country.

Its impossible to put them on the same scale.

Why, the village chief cant give you a knighthood.

In that sense, the value of relationships and influence in the kingdom of Yusra was almost unspeakable.

After all, the Yusra Island was the first Arcana nation to appear in the real world.

-I mean, that Poten was crazy!

-Its a legendary treasure island, not something else.

-Its a legendary treasure island!

The most important thing is its development potential!

The Kingdom of Yusra has always been rich in resources.

By becoming the first nation to appear, it had the opportunity to fully utilize its resources and develop.

Players expectations were also growing.

-A lot of monsters would be regenerating around them.

-Leveling up by going back and forth between kingdoms and hunting grounds.

-Will there be an auction house or shop later on?

-What do you guys think about going to Gaon or Berserker at the end now???

-And who took it?

So.

Humanly speaking.

My expectations are bound to be high!

Not another one, but the maximum.

What, a big drop in the bucket of beans?

But this time, it was the pride in my heart that moved me.

It was the pride in my heart.

I must be wise.

Huge influence.

And the responsibility that comes with it.

Noblesse oblige.

I muttered to myself.

..then, whats left for me!

As the saying goes, you have to take care of yourself.

If you dont speak up, no one will take care of you.

Thats what I do as a professional.

Thats what Ive learned as a professional.

what?

But my lamentation didnt last long.

Maximizing relationships and influence.

Thats not usually the reward.

Soon, I realized.

Maybe I dont have to go out of my way to get it?

A golden palace in the distance.

The palace in the background.

A man striding toward me.

It was Hakuna, the king of Yusra.

Welcome, benefactor!

I thought as I looked at the smiling Hakuna.

To be greeted by the king and yet take it for granted. Maybe this isnt getting too shameless?

I wondered if my shamelessness had already reached its maximum.

*.

One, two!

I hear a thunderous cheer.

Knight Lionheart.

The leader of the Knights, Harkon Kingsguard, smiles.

This is the first peace Ive felt in a while.

Small voice, again!

For some reason, I feel calm.

Ever since I was summoned to the world of adventurers.

Not a day had passed since Id been summoned to the Adventurers World.

Last night, he was able to fall into a deep sleep without tossing and turning once.

Harkon looked out over the landscape.

No buildings, or buildings as the adventurers called them.

No clattering iron carriages in sight.

Was it because the environment of the Kingdom of Yusra was so similar to his homeland?

No.

Harkon shook his head.

He already knew it wasnt.

It was impatience that was plaguing him.

Is the Emperor safe?

What am I doing here?

Am I allowed to keep my eyes open?

But his hasty worries were gone now.

Its all thanks to you, Lord Ho-yeol.

Yes, it was all thanks to Ho-yeol.

Harkon had learned so much from him.

It must have been just as bewildering for him.

Their home and the world of adventurers.

A disruption of the two worlds.

The adventurers were confused.

Ho-yeol must have felt the same way.

And the appearance of a demon.

There was plenty of room for despondency like their own.

Harkon swallowed his admiration again.

How could he be so calm?

He hadnt sensed the slightest agitation in Ho Yeol.

Not even the greed of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Even in battle with the Great Evil that made even he tremble in fear.

There was no noble determination or sacrifice in his actions.

It was as if he simply had to do it.

There was only Ho-Yeol casually advancing on the beast.

That had a great effect on awakening Harkons spirit.

Even that determination is natural to Lord Ho-Yeol.

What a man with such a large vessel.

I must follow in his footsteps.

Harkon knew.

Of course, Im not going to be able to keep up if I try.

But one thing was clear.

I have to do what I have to do.

Excitement.

That one word, so obvious.

It got the lions heart pounding again.

And so the Knights of the Lionheart began to train once again.

Boom!

The knights swords clashed.

Harkon enthusiastically encouraged the knights.

Brace your blades! Prepare your stances!

This is what we can do now.

If we cannot defeat the demons of this world, how can we defeat the demons of our home!

This is what we must do now.

Cha-ching-ching!

Harkon looked at the knights and realized.

No more regrets.

Contact with the Magic Tower was made through the line of fire.

Harkon had abandoned that plan as well.

That too was a mistake, made in his impatience to return home as quickly as possible.

Now that he was enlightened, he could not repeat that mistake.

Your lordship has once again shown me consideration.

Ive been invited to help rebuild the kingdom of Yusra.

It was an extension of my training.

It was the role of the knights to deal with any threats or enemies to the kingdom.

Harkon closed his eyes tightly.

The sound of cheering in his ears.

Calm in his mind.

Perhaps there would be nothing to worry about for a while.

But Harkons expectations were dashed.

Wh, what did you just say, Lord Ho Yeol?

Once again, it was Ho Yeol.

Puzzled, he asked again.

Does that mean you want to be trained as a swordsman?!

.

.

.

Whoa-

With a sigh, Yesica took off her helmet.

Her short, sweaty black-brown hair tumbled out.

Her narrowed eyes looked at the harkon.

No, more precisely, the silver-haired head beside Harkon.

She turned to Ho-Yeol.

Mage.

A mage associated with the Magic Tower.

Yesica knew what the mage of the Tower were like.

She had seen them before.

A single-minded quest for truth.

And the steps they took to get there.

Madmen.

It was extermination.

For standing in their way.

Just one, and everything in the area evaporated in half a day.

The Yesica had been sent there to clean up the mess.

But there was nothing left to clean up.

There was nothing left to clean up.

It was impossible to tell.

Because there was nothing left.

Not even a blade of grass in sight.

But Ho-Yeol was something else.

Could he really be a mage associated with the Magic Tower?

He had his doubts.

She remembered Ho-Yeols face clearly, especially as he taught her about the stone steps and lava that supported him.

But Yesica shook her head.

Doridori.

Her prejudices were as clear as her memories.

Im still not sure.

Really, was he different from the other mages?

But then she heard a conversation.

It was enough to make even Yesicas suspicious eyes widen.

Lord Harkon. Is sword energy a real thing?

Sword energy?

Wait, how does a mage know about sword energy!

He was just as surprised as he was.

Thats right, sword energy is.

Lord Ho Yeol, what does that mean?

Sword Energy. Im referring to the light on your sword.

No way, Lord Ho-Yeol. Did you see that light?!

Not just anyone can see it!

Natural talent and constant practice.

Only with those two things could I barely witness the sword qi.

So I couldnt help but be surprised.

But the surprise didnt stop there.

I see. Then I too can wield sword energy.

I will wield the sword.

Ho-Yeol had declared it.

Enoch, who had been listening, muttered.

What do you mean, mage?

He didnt reply, but Yesica felt the same way.

Actually, Im surprised you even noticed, but?

Dealing with sword energy is another matter!

Even in the Knights of the Lionheart, only she and Enoch were capable of wielding swords, including their leader, and wasnt Ho Yeol a mage?

Yesica was frankly dumbfounded.

Do you think you can hold the sword properly before then?

Harkon handed Ho-Yeol the sword.

I dont know what youre thinking, but.

Yesica thought it was a waste of time.

A mages body is weak.

They spend all day at their desks opening books.

How are they supposed to wield a sword with such skinny forearms.

?!

However, that was just the yesica prejudice.

Yuck.

What is that mage?

Ho-yeol took off his jacket.

It fell to the ground.

Muscles beneath a white shirt.

Thats not a mages body.

It looked too good to be true.

How white is your skin? No, thats not it!

Yesica swallowed dryly for a moment.

Ho-Yeol accepted the sword from Harkon.

And raised it in the air.

!!!

Everyone gasped.
