The Player Hides His Past - Chapter 123

Episode 123. It’s not stiff, it’s upright

.

Could it be because of nervousness?

Hunger did not go away.

Senior Elementalist Mage Payyan Lot.

She rummaged through her memories under her robes.

He recalled the words of Cleodia, a senior and skilled mage.

-“More than anything else, the pouring eyes will sting you!”

Indeed, what the senior said was right.

Aren’t the eyes pouring from the crack entrance no joke?

Though it was understandable considering the magic tower’s influence.

‘…how did things get this big?’

Feiyan was in a light mood.

It was just as good when his application for the tower was accepted.

‘I didn’t expect you to say such a thing.’

You don’t want to put a limit on the number of people in the tower!

I couldn’t have imagined such a development.

Is it because Chief Lee Ho-yeol took his tower purpose seriously?

Master Wizards and even Apprentice Wizards.

All of a sudden, the Elemental School had begun exploring the rift as a group.

‘I’m getting more and more hungry, maybe because I’m nervous.’

From well-well to wobbly.

The burden on my shoulders was never light.

Wasn’t he the senior of the wizards like a newbie’s nose-bleeder?

If this was the Arcana Continent. Still

, I would have been able to show face as a senior .

Horny.’

But this was an adventurer’s world.

It is said that Payyan is in a hurry to take care of himself.

Of course, whether you know your insides or not.

“Wow, this is a crack.”

“…It’s strange~ It’s strange~”

“But how come people’s clothes are familiar?”

“you idiot. Because they are adventurers.”

The new chicks seemed really excited.

In that sense, Fei Yan had no choice but to look up to Ho Yeol.

Clé’s advice to think about again.

– “But you don’t have to worry too much. Even if the eyes may sting. There won’t be anyone coming close. If Chief Lee Ho-yeol is by his side!”

when i first heard that

-‘What bullshit is that.’

I couldn’t understand right away.

But it’s better to see once than hear a hundred times.

The moment of entry into the rift.

Payyan could understand Klee’s meaning.

‘…Isn’t everyone really just watching from afar?’

Feiyan looked at them coldly.

Even from a third person’s point of view, such spectacles are not common.

Even if he wore a robe, he couldn’t hide even the summoned spirit.

It wasn’t enough that the wizards of the Mage Tower showed up in groups.

Even the spirits were summoned as a group?

‘It’s an incident that caused a stir even on the Arcana continent.’

Curiously.

‘A distance where I can’t even hear my voice properly.’

The adventurers inside the rift kept a certain distance from them.

‘Isn’t it because you’re afraid of fire drakes…?’

To be mistaken for that…

because those eyes were clearly directed at Ho-yeol.

‘You mean that many adventurers are paying attention to the chief?’

Gulp—

Feiyan swallowed dry saliva.

I glanced at the heat.

‘…Are you really a noble person in this world?’

According to the rumors that were floating around among the new chicks.

The heir to a truly great family…?

However, Feiyan’s idle thoughts did not last long.

“…Now wait. what?”

Higher Fire Spirit.

Because of the news from the Arcana Continent that Fire Drake has delivered.

In fact, Fei Yan also guessed to some extent.

Entering the Devil’s Rift.

Because she was the one who contributed to the demon lord’s defeat.

“Nonsense!”

However, this was a wave far beyond those predictions.

The news from other spirits was no different.

News of victory came from all over the Arcana continent.

Fire Drake said in a fevered voice.

“It’s probably because the newly born World Tree is having a positive effect on all life.”

“…!”

buzz buzz.

What is the world tree?

The reactions of the new chicks seemed surprised by that alone.

However, Fei Yan was surprised elsewhere.

Because Feiyan knew who sprouted the world tree.

‘Chief Lee Ho-yeol…!’

fleeting moment.

Spinning head spinning.

Then, the current Arcana Continent changes.

‘You mean all the sounds came from Chief Lee Ho-yeol’s hand?’

Why did the world tree sprout?

The one that crushed the demon king.

Because everything was done under Hoyeol’s plans and procedures.

Glancing—

Feyyan looked at Hoyeol’s eyes.

‘To think he didn’t show any respect even after he did a great job.’

There was no change in the expression of Ho-yeol, who was the person involved.

Why is my heart excited for no reason?

Growling—

Thanks to that, the body with poor fuel efficiency was shaking.

back and forth.

The moment Payyan, who was searching through her robe, shoved something into her mouth.

A panicked voice came from a young chick.

“The Kürnberg Machine Tower? Is it starting to move?”

“It didn’t just move. They are obviously hunting demons.”

“…Ah, you hunt demons? That mechanical tower?”

“Kek keek.”

“Are you okay, Senior Feiyan…?”

“yes yes. I’m fine.”

keup.

I almost choked my throat.

‘By the way what? Is the Kürnberg machine tower moving?’

Fei Yan also knew at the level of common sense.

It was only about the mechanical towers built by the dwarves.

But moving is not enough, so I’m hunting demons.

Patter—

Fei Yan thought as she removed the crumbs from her lips.

‘…Yes, no matter how great Chief Lee Ho-yeol is.’

It would be impossible for him to be active enough to shake the tide of the Arcana continent by himself. Above all, isn’t this world and the Arcana continent disconnected?

‘Even if I don’t know who operated it for what purpose.’

The advance of the Kürnberg Machine Tower.

It was clear that this also had a significant impact on the news of victory.

‘Right, Chief Lee Ho-yeol is also a human being.’

Yes, that was Fei Yan’s common sense.

Individuals are individuals, no matter how exceptional their abilities are.

There are bound to be limits to its influence.

Of course, that common sense immediately collapsed.

“Hyel.”

The moment Ho-yeol calls that name.

A spirit that appears out of thin air.

“!!!”

All of them, including Payyan, were wizards of the Elemental School.

so i was able to find out.

“…What about that spirit of Senior Feiyan?”

small body.

However, the energy it gave off was by no means small.

It was.

That’s the {unique spirit} that transcends class.

Payyan nodded at the expert mage’s question.

“you’re right. It is a unique spirit.”

“…a native elemental!”

“Chief Ho-Yeol Lee was the contractor for the unique spirit?”

The rest was quite surprised.

Newbies who don’t stop chirping easily.

Just looking at it is so surprising.

How shocked would it be to learn the truth that Highel was reborn as an {intrinsic spirit} by sprouting a world tree? However, he had no intention of talking about Ho-yeol’s actions to Fei-yan.

Shrugs—

‘You guys will get hurt if you know.’

…Actually, I’m doing this because I’m afraid I’ll be photographed by the chief.

Of course, Fei Yan’s conceit did not last long.

It was because Highel delivered the words soon after.

“Chainwalker Hard Rock, the leader of the dwarves. I conveyed Hoyeol’s will to him. There is also a message from Chain Walker Hard Rock to Ho-yeol.”

Hayel didn’t say a word about the message.

Feiyan got goosebumps.

Wait, the leader of the dwarves?

‘…Why is Hyel with the dwarves?’

dwarf.

Kürnberg Machine Tower.

High L.

Chief Lee Ho-yeol.

Moment.

Words running around in my head.

At the same time, an exclamation mark appeared on Fei Yan’s face.

‘…no way?!’

Soon after, Hyel’s words to catch people continued.

“First, Chainwalker thanked you for not forgetting the oath and operating the Kürnberg Machine Tower. Second, for the fact that he acted directly for the people who encountered the demon king…”

…Now, wait a minute.

what am i listening to?

Beyond the exclamation mark on Fei Yan’s face, astonishment rose.

It had to be.

That said, the person who did all of this.

Because it was said that it was no different from the hand of Ho-yeol!

*

This is spectacular.

Because when the demon king was overthrown, they entered different demon king castle rifts.

It was the first time I saw Payyan’s fire drake with my own eyes.

By the way, you’re not a high-ranking flame spirit for nothing.

A

body as gigantic as a cargo truck.

If it had wings over there, it would be mistaken for a hatchling dragon.

Above all, the flame flickers with each exhalation.

Just looking at it makes me feel hot.

Led by such a fire drake.

About twenty or so summoned spirits.

Because each elemental has a different attribute.

The surroundings get hot, then cool, and dazzling…

Anyway.

Even in order not to get caught up in that loud influence. All the wizards, including Payyan, were one step away from the group of spirits.

of course.

‘…I live a tired life. I’m real too.’

Pomsaeng Foamsa.

There was no reason for our Grand Fell to back down in front of the wonderful background of the spirit corps. I think I’m lucky.

[Warmth] I’m glad I got a buff, really.

Thank you again for the [Warm Jewelry Box].

[The warmth keeps the body in top condition.]

The Siberian High Pressure.

A [Warmth] buff that prevents Frost from freezing cold.

The flame property affinity effect attached to the handkerchief.

Thanks to that, I stood upright even among the spirits.

‘Anyway, it was worthwhile.’

Indeed, it’s all good.

It took a lot of effort to find the rift with this amount of people.

Even I had quite a bit of new Arcana Continent news.

Big news, of course.

All of the things that could be called incidents were stories I had heard through Hiel.

‘There is no surprise news.’

Now, it was Highel’s turn.

I summoned Highel.

power to escape.

Still, it’s not enough to be rude anymore.

It must be because the [Magic Power] stat is close to 400.

Soon after, Highel appeared among the spirits.

…Yes, I don’t know about anything else, but the appearance stands out.

Also very much.

Isn’t that too flashy for someone who has just been reborn as a {Indigenous Spirit}? I wanted to, but I stopped thinking. It’s not that I’m scolding the dog that buried something…

It was just spitting in my face after all.

‘by the way.’

Leader Chainwalker Hard Rock.

It seems that the Dwarves, including him, were facing the devil in their own way.

I want to hear the story of Hiel.

It seems that the number of demons they drove out was not small.

Hiel’s serious eyes met mine.

“That’s right. Everything was going as expected.”

…no. What did you expect

You didn’t anticipate everything in detail to that extent?

What kind of telepathy did you receive, Hiel?

Of course, you can’t deny anything.

“…keek kek.”

Fayyan beats his chest in surprise at the words of Hiel.

take one more sip

“Yes, you expected? Everything?!”

“Hey, be quiet.”

“…Shh!”

Skilled apprentice wizards with even more surprised expressions than her. I can’t deny this

burdensome

overvaluation.

“Right.”

I answered calmly.

The pinnacle of shamelessness.

In the meantime, anxiety creeps in.

‘…Hiel, you can’t believe it.’

Did you say the same to the dwarves?

I looked at Hayel.

It’s like you’re not giving up on anyone.

Upright neck and back.

eyes shining brightly.

He’s not intimidated even in front of a fire drake.

What the hell does that look like looking in a mirror mean?

…No, no.

Nothing will change now.

It didn’t matter what illusions Hyel planted in the dwarves.

Beyond being exhausted.

Even if it becomes powder.

I am Grandfel.

I will realize the pouring overestimation.

In that sense…

[Teppern Fence]

[Recommended level: Lv.450]

[Destruction degree: 3.8%]

It would be a pity to pass by such a crack.

I looked at Payyan and the Elemental School mages.

Everyone will have a reunion with the Contract Spirit after a long time.

“You had a lot of trouble alone, Nix.”

“How come you gnome look bigger? Have you been comfortable without me? There’s no one to pamper, right? Tell me the truth!”

“…Sylphid. No matter how happy I am, can you stop messing with the wind?”

Are you looking at that

Suddenly, a passage from an animistic book came to mind.

──────

The most important quality for a spirit wizard is the ability to communicate with spirits. Spirit magic is different from other magic in its essence. This is because spirit magic does not begin with magic, it begins with recognizing the existence of spirits…

──────

The purpose of the tower was achieved.

Due to the nature of Grandfel, which is faithful to the procedure.

It was not strange to order them to return to the Mage Tower right away.

however.

I looked at the quest window.

─The Chief’s Weight (Repeat)▲

Successfully proceed with the tower launch. (Repeat)….

To enable them to keep their essence as spirit mages.

That must also be the goal of a successful tower and the weight of the chief.

I said to Pei Yan.

“I have achieved my goal, but I will postpone my return for a while.”

“…Yes? Yes, I will!”

Feiyan didn’t know why, but he was glad to see it in his heart.

Even if it’s not the first time summoning a fire drake.

Because this moment will be the first time I’ve been given the time to properly communicate.

‘…It’s communion.’

I looked at Hayel.

As you said.

It’s like looking in a mirror even now…!

I don’t think there is a need for a deeper rapport between us.

I said to Hayel.

“Gaji Highell.”

“I will follow your will.”

In other words, we have piled up a mountain of things to do besides communion.

Utilizing Hiel’s {nature} abilities.

From exploring the possibility of a new [{『Strange』}].

Even grasping the power level when [Natural Enemy Relations] is not activated.

‘It’s time to check the results of diligently digging a well.’

The monster that appeared in [Teppern Fence] against it.

There’s no better opponent than [Teppern Scarecrow].

So let’s get started right away.

Chang—

I immediately raised my sword.

.

.

.

Chang—

Feiyan wondered if he had seen anything wrong.

…what?

Chief Lee Ho-yeol pulled out his sword?

A wizard is a sword…?

At first, I thought it was just a magic tool in the form of a sword.

But it wasn’t.

What the hell is that nimble body movement?

Because you always keep your spine upright.

Was it a mistake to think that it would be stiff?

Squeaky

movement like flowing water.

Swaak—

a blade that cuts through the air quickly and resolutely.

The scarecrow of Tepfern collapsed at the same time

.

…what?

A single syllable escaped Fei Yan’s lips.

“…Eh?!”
