The Player Hides His Past - Chapter 138

Episode 138. Trust me (2)

there weren’t many agendas that came and went.

However, the aftermath of the round table conference was by no means inferior to that of the first round.

After the senior senior wizards left the crystal hall in turn.

Those left behind began to talk in earnest.

“Where does that confidence come from?”

Skilled mage Jibril.

As can be seen from the colorful hairstyle, Jibril was full of confidence in everything.

However, Chief Lee Ho-yeol’s that was ‘something’ beyond confidence.

“Are you entering the Arcana Continent alone?”

There is no need to explain the danger at length.

Why was it enough just to see the cracks?

Because it wasn’t enough to occupy the Arcana continent.

It was because the world of adventurers was also demons stretching out their demons to devour them. ”

Honestly,

I don’t know what you’re thinking.”

Rinne, a skilled mage who likes to be conceited, shook her shoulders.

“The Chief is amazing. Everyone in the Mage Tower knows this, but I don’t think this went beyond the limit. Isn’t the Arcana continent so dangerous that it can’t be compared to a rift?”

“Even if Lynne is good at saying bad luck. I cannot dispute it.”

“Yes! I’m right… Yes? Are you saying this is unlucky?!”

T-T-T-T.

Between the words, Jibril touched his chin.

‘There’s no way you don’t know that it’s dangerous.’

Rather, it was Chief Lee Ho-yeol who knew the situation on the Arcana continent better than they did.

And unlike those who have mediocre skills, they must be accurately aware of their abilities and limitations.

“!”

Then too?

Jibril’s eyes sparkled.

“What if there was reason enough to take a huge risk?”

A country nobility is not supposed to be like this.

Where did you sell your education?

Rinne, who was in the middle of a childish argument, turned her head.

Even so, I couldn’t miss Jibril’s words.

“yes? What did you just say Miss Jibril?”

“That’s Okay. Keep fighting. Lynn.”

“yes? Miss Jibril seems to have misunderstood something. This isn’t a fight, it’s like a duel to protect the family’s honor…!”

Like Lynne’s excuse.

There was no way that Jibril, who had caught his interest, could hear it.

Jibril was at the entrance of the Crystal Hall before he knew it.

I found Klee getting hit by a crowd.

suddenly.

“It’s a surprise! Jibril?”

Jibril intertwined his arms with Klee and asked subtly.

“Miss Claire. How did you get any income from the conversation?”

Bellier and Senior Wizard Matisse came to the Crystal Hall belatedly after Chief Lee Ho-yeol’s declaration.

Of course, he came because he had something to guess about, didn’t he?

However, unlike Jibril, Klee didn’t go that far.

“Income? I really don’t know anything!”

What was Jibril talking about all of a sudden?

Even while poking his own side.

Claire sobbed in an unfair voice.

“Ah, it tickles me! What are you really talking about!”

.

.

.

‘I don’t know. Why suddenly?’

Belle hurried her steps.

What is so urgent?

Chief Lee Ho-yeol left as soon as the roundtable was over.

It was to catch up with him.

formality and etiquette.

I knew that he would never have an unpromised meeting, but

now Bellier was in no mood to follow the procedure.

‘There must be a reason.’

Is that the reason I think is right?

…if that’s right.

Bellier bit his lower lip.

‘At least I can’t just watch.’

It was too dangerous to leave the ability of the chief.

Belly knew.

The existence of a high-ranking demon king, even the elder mages called Karimzeba half-gods.

It was said that an overwhelming sacrifice was required for the resurrection of a high-ranking demon king, but isn’t the Arcana continent already in a state of living hell? The sacrifice must have overflowed.

top lord.

Or, there was a good chance that an existence comparable to it appeared on the Arcana continent. No, it would have been, so the continent would have fallen into the hands of demons.

‘…I don’t think I’ll be helpful.’

If it was such a strong enemy, nothing would change even if he joined Veli. But it was a matter of the heart. Even if you know with your head, your heart can’t stay still.

smart.

Bellier knocked on the door of the chief’s office.

“This is Velie Yusia.”

mischievous eyes.

Soon after, it caused quite a stir at the round table conference.

A calm voice was heard, as if it were a pretense.

“You may come in. A senior mage in Velier.”

Clicking—

When Bellier opened the door and entered, what caught his eyes was the scenery as usual. understated office space. It was Ho-yeol sitting at the desk with an excessively upright posture.

As expected, it was not easy to face Chief Lee Ho-yeol.

But Belle was determined.

Because it was related to Marcelo and nothing else.

“I apologize for visiting the chief without a promise.”

“I will accept that apology.”

“Also, I will ask for forgiveness in advance for coming to commit rudeness. I have a question for Chief Lee Ho-yeol.”

Hoyeol raising his head.

Bellier faced Ho-yeol.

Hee-ilbi.

A face that doesn’t show even a single emotion.

As I faced that face, my doubts grew even bigger.

‘Really, because of my application for departure…’

Are you entering the Arcana Continent?

When I didn’t know anything, I would have thought it was a nonsense.

However, Bellier had confirmed it with his own two eyes.

-“Elder Senios Mage…”

Ho-yeol, who mourned Senios more seriously than anyone else.

Even though it was only for a moment, I witnessed the inside at first glance.

Bellier was able to finish the business.

“I want to know why the Chief wants to enter the Arcana Continent.”

It was Ho-yeol who put his application for the tower on hold.

You probably know the intent of the question better than anyone.

Bellier’s prediction was correct.

Click—

“…?”

I thought you followed me right away.

When did you hold a teacup in your hand in the gap of an instant?

Ho-yeol, who put down the teacup, answered.

The answer was much clearer.

“Because the Seymourds are there.”

“…!”

Climbing a mountain is just because the mountain is there.

like someone said

.

.

.

Even if no one else knows, I need to tell Bellier why.

If it wasn’t for Bellier’s request to leave the tower, the fact that Marcelo is suffering from a time-limited curse.

He wouldn’t have been able to complete the related quests either.

“Because the Seymourds are there.”

…But crooked mouths are always a problem, really.

The snout, which speaks crookedly even though it is fine, eventually got the job done.

promise again

Even if there is no book to read in this world.

‘…Let’s never look at a collection of sayings.’

Anyway, thanks for coming, it saved me a lot of trouble.

Because I have many questions for Bellier.

Because I needed information about Marcelo’s current condition as well as the [Simuard family’s request] quest. But somehow, Bellier’s reaction was unusual.

“…haha.”

a small laugh.

Could it be that you noticed my shallow quotation?

My feet tingle for a while.

“…Unfortunately, I have to apologize again.”

“?”

“I thought about it beforehand.”

I didn’t even have time to ask.

Bellier continued with a stern voice.

“Chief Lee Ho-yeol. I will also enter the Arcana Continent together.”

Marcelo and Bellier.

I don’t know or want to know about the relationship between the two. He could tell that Bellier was genuinely concerned about Marcelo.

You can tell just by looking at the submission of the application form.

‘okay. There’s nothing wrong with going together.’

Neither I nor Belly have anything left in my heart, how nice would it be?

But, as I said, that’s not possible.

However, it was impossible to explain the effect of the item and the title to Bellier.

“I’m sorry, but I will decline your request.”

“Chief Lee Ho-yeol, I am…!”

“I can guess how you feel, Senior Bellier.”

So, I have no choice but to speak like I am again.

“Trust me nonetheless.”

Of course, even if you don’t necessarily accompany them, you need Bellier’s help.

“And I also want to ask you something.”

“…I will answer.”

“I need information about the Seymourdes. From exact locations to approximate family members. More specifically, I want to hear about Countess Seymourd.”

“…!”

When I asked, Bellier lifted his head, which had been lowered in discouragement. Then, Seymourd, whom he knew, spread information about the curse of the time limit.

It wasn’t until after the story was over that Bellier seemed to realize it.

“It is said that they have been close since childhood, but I may be mistaken or misunderstand something. So I think it would be most accurate to ask the person concerned.”

Regarding that, pride reacted before me.

Marcelo Seymourd.

information about his family.

Is it really right to get it through a third party?

It must have been an act that pride would never tolerate in normal times.

But more than demons are involved.

Even this could be the devil’s trick.

Because the devil was such a family.

‘If it’s true that the time-limited curse is related to the devil.’

What will happen when Marcelo finds out? At that time, Marcelo’s silent anger towards the devil could become uncontrollable.

‘I don’t have the confidence to stop that.’

If Marcelo goes out to annihilate demons with magic tools, who can stop him? Moreover, such negative emotions eventually become demonic powers.

I summed up the complicated reason in one word.

“no.”

“…?”

“Severe mood swings are not good for him.”

For an instant, Bellier’s pupils twitched.

Same with Matisse.

As expected, if you are a senior mage, you can communicate well.

Except for one Avensh William.

Because his tower application is more annoying than spam messages.

Flowing silence—

Bellier opened his mouth after a brief silence.

“I understand why you thought so. But…”

Her concerns turned to me this time.

“No matter how much you carry that burden alone…!”

“Nothing to worry about.”

No, there’s nothing to worry about, right?

It means that the [Last Adventurer] title has an effect on me.

But this time, I had no choice but to speak like myself.

“To live is to swim in solitude.”

…Please don’t wrap up the dark history in a plausible way, Grandfel.

Aren’t I pitiful for living in that dark history?

.

.

.

I want to talk to Evil Dragon Hunter Lee Ho-yeol.

Skal’s bomb declaration that appeared after a while.

Naturally, it was enough to attract public attention.

Lee Ho-yeol, the unofficial ranking No. 1.

Will the official ranking No. 1 Skal meet?

It was the rankers who were more alert than anyone else.

“Don’t you think there is something tangled up?”

“Evil dragon hunter. In the first place, how did that bastard of Skal know that it was an evil dragon? You couldn’t even tell if it was a lizard or a dragon because it was buried in a labyrinth, right?”

“Thinking of Skal’s class. It must have been related to the Dragon Knight [Class Quest].”

Shining.

Rox Camilla Dmitri had a constructive conversation for the first time in a while.

A meeting between Lee Ho-yeol and Skal. Because I knew the weight it had.

Dmitri shuddered.

“Skaar’s class quest. It gives me goosebumps when I hear it.”

Hidden Class Dragon Knight.

In addition, thanks to Skal, who insisted on mysticism, the ability of the class was hidden in a veil. But everyone could tell. That the dragon knight’s potential is limitless.

“Let’s see. It reminds me of the old days~”

The days when Arcana was just a game.

Camilla had once aimed a skaar with a bowstring.

It wasn’t that I had any particular grudge.

It was a situation that I couldn’t help being entangled in the quest.

At the time, Skal was riding an ordinary course horse, not intended for use.

“But you didn’t even get hit? I really thought I would die of madness.”

Skal, who commanded the battlefield by dodging countless arrow magic.

Shining, watching the scene, came to a conclusion.

If Skal is reborn as a [Dragon Knight] who commands real dragons, then the player who can stand against him in Arcana. No, there will be no guilds.

Dmitri opened his mouth in an unfair voice.

“Yes, because you are a precious hidden class! great potential? I can understand. Besides, words are courageous. How could I ride the dragon at the top of the Zero Mountains? There were times when I honestly laughed at you behind my back. however…!”

Lee Ho-yeol.

The moment the name came out of Skal’s mouth.

Dmitri froze.

“You don’t know Lee Ho-yeol again! It’s impossible for Scal or us to hunt dragons, but look at Lee Ho-yeol’s performance in the Tepperun Labyrinth this time! what did you say A ray of light in the infinitely deep darkness?!”

Camilla, who would have risked killing Dmitri if possible.

However, Camilla also nodded seriously this time.

Because this wasn’t something to laugh at.

“What if. What if Ho-yeol cooperates with Skal?”

“Hey, that sounds really horrible…!”

“So what if Skaarl escapes from the half-dragon knight?”

“Wow. Just listening to it makes me tired.”

“Dmitry, you are done. Rocks, what do you think?”

Rox, who had been silent, opened his mouth.

“Courage. His potential is comparable to that of the [Archangel Wizard].”

“…!”

“Rox, what’s behind that?”

grand wizard.

It was Jesse’s class.

Now it’s Jesse Heinness who left the nest called The Shining.

“It’s not like an afterthought, but a calm understanding of the subject.”

If Jessie had stayed, I wouldn’t have worried.

But now the position has changed.

Rox continued quietly.

“We have no choice but to keep an eye on the situation.”

More than what the world focuses on.

.

.

.

However, not all rankers were in the same position.

Taemin Nam.

Leonie.

Hisagi.

The three guild masters of the great alliance.

The three of them thought as soon as they heard Skal’s declaration.

At first, Leonie couldn’t help but be astonished.

“See that crazy guy?!”

What does Lee Ho-yeol hate the most?

disrespectful.

But to mention Ho-yeol’s name in front of the media?

It seemed that he had lost his sense of that Skal because he lived a secluded life. A dragon hunter? You want to meet Ho-yeol? I don’t know what you want.

“That child. That’s gone in this lifetime.”

i mean

I’m struggling to get a cup of tea.

Is that the attitude of a person who asks for more cooperation than that?

“Tsk tsk.”

Leonie clicks her tongue.

Beside him, Hisagi nodded vigorously.

“Leonie is right. You misunderstood, Skal.”

Inazuma’s guild members, including Hisagi.

They had experience.

The experience of almost being barred from the doorstep by Ho-yeol in Yusra Kingdom.

So, as a senior in etiquette education, I had something to say.

“It is a procedure to politely bow your head first before having a conversation.”

“…you speak well.”

I never thought the day would come when I would affirm Hisagi’s words for the rest of my life.

Nam Tae-min’s thoughts were not very different from those of the two.

I don’t know what business he was looking for, but I don’t know.

“I think you made a big mistake?”

.

.

.

It was.

The three people’s predictions were correct.

Soon after, Ho-yeol appeared in the magic tower portal.

Countless crowds flocking to Ho-yeol. The reporters seemed

to

be impatient to point the camera at the microphone right away. But it wasn’t anyone else, it was in front of Ho-yeol.

Reporters who swallow dry saliva, follow formality, and carefully ask questions.

“What do you think of Player Scal’s declaration?”

“As Mr. Skal calls himself an evil dragon hunter…”

“The fact that the existence that should never be awakened is a dragon…”

Hoyeol listened silently to the question.

But there was no more kindness.

End of many questions.

Hoyeol opened his mouth.

“From now on, I will consider it a hindrance.”

“…!!!”

.

.

.

Even if you don’t, there’s a lot to worry about.

But what?

A dragon hunter? Did you spread rumors about it?!

It seems that our relationship is over before it even started, Skal.

I continued with a voice that was colder than usual.

“Can you get out of the way? I don’t have time to waste.”
