The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 82

Episode 82

The underground cavity was large, but there were so many connected passages that it was complicated.

And in some of them, traps were set up or doors were blocked, so it seemed like it would take quite some time to complete the search.

“Thank you Ravel. “Thanks to you, I was able to finish the battle quickly.”

Raoul expressed his gratitude to Ravel as his men continued their search.

“I’m glad it helped. But what happened? As soon as you wake up, you’re in a combat situation. I was really surprised.”

“That’s right…”

Raoul briefly told him what happened while Ravel was asleep.

“Hmm~ I see. “The dimensional gate opened and the Kranen Empire’s intelligence department began its activities.”

Ravel’s eyes sparkled and her cheeks heated up slightly.

‘Dimension Gate… Does it have anything to do with the dimensional rift?’

Memories of the past that are now almost blurred. The image of my compatriots caught up in the dimensional crack came to my mind vaguely.

Ravel felt the tremors of fate. It was clear that the moment I had been waiting for for so long was approaching.

I was now certain that meeting Raoul, who had an item called a skill encyclopedia, was not a coincidence.

“Raul. “I have something to say about the skill encyclopedia and the power Raoul possesses.”

“huh? “I know the skill encyclopedia, but what about powers?”

Raoul asked Ravel’s words back with a slightly puzzled expression.

“The power that God gave to Raoul. It’s about [the connect system].”

‘…!’

I forgot about it because of the battle. The fact that the label had requested permission to access the Connect system.

Now that I’m a librarian, it’s natural that I know about the skill encyclopedia, but how does Ravel know about the connect system?

“I saw strange things in the skill encyclopedia while I was sleeping.”

Ravel has survived by relying on books with special powers. And in order to move a book, you had to understand and accept its contents in order to settle your soul.

However, the skill encyclopedia was something different.

The encyclopedia itself was like a huge library with a collection of skill books, but as the label was designated as a librarian, it was necessary to understand not only the contents of the skill book but also a complex ‘system’.

[Connect system].

Ravel couldn’t help but tremble as he caught a glimpse of the huge and complex system prepared for the players.

Because it was literally a collection of powers imbued with the power of God.

When she learned that Raoul was the chosen one to use that power, she instinctively realized her role.

And Raoul’s actions so far began to appear in her mind.

System messages remaining in the Connect system, past log quests, and even the Link Cafe.

The month he was asleep was enough time for Ravel to understand Raoul and the Connect system.

“…I want you to become Raoul’s supporter. “I don’t know what path Raoul will take, but I want to be your strength.”

After hearing Ravel’s explanation, Raoul’s mind became slightly confused.

I knew that a certain amount of information would be revealed when I accepted the label in the skill guide, but I never thought that past information, including the connect system, would be exposed.

“You can refuse if you’re uncomfortable. “I bought a skill encyclopedia and it’s enough for a seat.”

As Raoul seemed to be worried, Ravel spoke in a slightly despondent voice.

“what the. What are you worried about? This was already allowed. Rather, I feel sorry? Not only are there librarians, but there are also supporters. Are you sure you’ll be okay?”

Raoul’s choice had already been decided. There was no reason to push out the label that was trying to help when it was already tied down by the power of the system.

I was just momentarily embarrassed that my secret was revealed to her.

‘It might actually be a good thing. You’ve been struggling to make plans on your own, but now you have someone to help you, right?’

While I was reincarnated, I gained family and colleagues, but there was still no one I could share my feelings with.

How frustrating and difficult must it have been for him to prepare for the bleak future that would come alone?

Ravel’s expression brightened at Raoul’s easy answer.

“Thank you Raoul. “You will never regret the choice you make now.”

“But that magic from earlier. What happened? “It seems very different from the magic I know.”

“Maybe so. “The magic methods our species uses are different from those of humans.”

Unlike human wizards who have a circle magic system and use magic through casting, fairy magic was not structured.

[Lord magic].

The fairies were a type of mana creature that naturally communicated with mana from birth.

They were able to activate magic simply by speaking without a cumbersome casting process, and this was called verbal magic.

Of course, the speed of magic activation was fast, and since it was not confined within a frame, magic was expressed in various forms.

The unfortunate thing is that compared to humans’ circle magic, the amount of mana required to manifest the magic was large, and the mental power consumption was also high, making it disadvantageous in long-term battles.

“You can think of it as similar to the dragon magic used by dragons or the spirit magic used by spirits.”

Raoul nodded at Ravel’s explanation.

I have already fully experienced the power of magic in my past life. This is because one of the rankers who was at the top with him was a wizard who had mastered magic.

‘I already didn’t have enough magic power, so I’m really glad.’

According to Ravel, the level of magic she can use is around 5 circles in terms of circle magic.

Of course, given her condition, there was a price to pay.

If you are connected to power armor, you can borrow the power armor’s mana, but if not, you have to use mana stones.

“Before I was trapped in the Great Magic Book, I could use level 8 magic. “Perhaps as the level of the skill book increases, the level of magic I can use will also increase.”

“Wow, Circle 8? “I can’t even imagine how powerful it is.”

“So, from now on, I hope you pay attention to the growth of your skill encyclopedia.”

Raoul also nodded his head in agreement with her words.

Until now, I thought it was just for a little stat buff and increasing skill slots, but now it will actually help increase power.

“I’m still doing the skill encyclopedia quests consistently. But I think it will take a lot of time…”

“I know. But in that way, the skill encyclopedia will not regain its original strength even after 10 years.”

Ravel spoke in a confident tone.

“But there is no way. “For now, I have no choice but to continue doing the encyclopedia quests.”

At Raoul’s words, Ravel put his hand on his waist and smiled bravely.

“There is a reliable librarian here. For the time being, I will organize the skill guide and reorganize the quests and growth methods. And the one on Raoul’s wrist.”

“You mean Regnator?”

“okay. There are more things you can do as a supporter than you think. “I will soon organize it neatly and let you know, so you can look forward to it.”

It certainly seemed different from the supporter system that Raoul was familiar with.

‘The quest is being reorganized. ‘Is it really possible to do something like that when you’re not even an operator?’

I had some doubts, but it would be great if it really happened.

While I was talking with Ravel, it seemed like the search was finally over.

Kane and Pierce came to Raoul with a group of people.

chuck.

Kane knelt down on one knee with about 20 people and bowed his head and said.

“Thank you so much Master. Thanks to you, I was able to save the lives of my men.”

“thank you!”

Those who appeared to be Kane’s subordinates had blood-stained clothes here and there, as if they had been tortured.

Even though their faces were gaunt and in poor condition, they all straightened their posture and looked at Raoul.

“Even though I am of lowly status, I will sacrifice my life to repay the grace I received from Raoul. Please accept me and my subordinates as your servants!”

Kane was already working as Raoul’s subordinate, but it was only a contractual relationship.

What Kane wanted now meant a master-slave relationship based on loyalty, and it seemed like his subordinates had already agreed.

Raoul nodded with a happy expression and welcomed them.

“I will receive you with joy. There seem to be a lot of injured people, so it would be best to treat them first. “We’ll talk about your treatment later.”

“thank you. “I will be loyal!”

Kane seemed truly happy, with a smile on his face and left with his subordinates.

Even though they had left, Pierce and a few others still remained.

“These are free knights who were captured. “He said he really wanted to meet the Master, so I brought him here.”

After Pierce finished his introduction, they placed their fists on their left breasts and bowed their heads in respect.

One of the five knights spoke as a representative.

“Thank you. “If it weren’t for Prince Raoul, we would have become test subjects for those vicious bastards.”

“I’m so glad I was able to save you in time. “If you don’t mind, can I hear what happened?”

In response to Raoul’s words, the knights briefly explained the situation.

They were knights heading to the capital to attend an investiture ceremony, but while passing through the forest, they were attacked and captured by assailants.

The identity of the assailants was, of course, Imperial Hounds, and as a knight without power armor, it would probably have been difficult to escape their attack.

It was said that there were about 10 other people who were caught, but they had not been heard from since they were taken out of prison.

At the end of the conversation, they also wanted to return the favor under Raoul like Kane and the others.

Two of them were expert-level knights, and Raoul happily accepted them as knights.

As a result of the search, nearly 200 other prisoners were rescued.

Most of them were ordinary citizens and mercenaries, and there were several noble family relatives and knights who entered the gate as a punitive force but disappeared.

In addition to prisoners, unfinished horse soldiers and trapped monsters were discovered, and space and materials that appeared to be a laboratory were also secured.

When we finished searching the basement and went up through the passage to Viscount Planck’s mansion, the place had already been cleared out.

Bernard, who had led the troops from the count’s mansion, disarmed the viscount’s guards and captured all of the viscount’s relatives.

Raoul searched the Viscount’s office and mansion and sighed involuntarily when he discovered a large hidden safe and warehouse.

“This is crazy.”

The safe was full of gold bars, and various precious metals and even mana stones were shining brightly.

The warehouse was full of military supplies, including food and weapons.

‘How much is this?’

The piled up gold bars alone seemed to be worth several million gold.

They said he was the head of finance, and it seemed like he was raking in a lot of money. And since it is a hideout in the capital, there will be things sent from other branches.

‘I’ve been short on cash lately because I’ve had to spend a lot of money, so what’s the point?’

Raoul praised himself for deciding to rob the hideout and diligently packed the items into his inventory.

I was very curious to see what the Imperial Hounds would look like when they heard that their secret warehouse had been robbed.

The raised corners of Raoul’s mouth did not seem to drop until he finished collecting the loot and left the mansion.
