The Player Hides His Past - Chapter 222

Episode 222. Need an explanation?

Haljjak—

Licking the wad of cotton with the tongue.

Tower Zhou looked down at the Crystal Hall and thought.

I never thought this would change the round table conference like this.

Is it possible to come up with such an idea because it is a rolled stone?

“Meow—”

It was a cry of satisfaction.

Even if you look at it apart from everything else.

Finally, you are living up to your name.

The meeting takes place in the circular Crystal Hall.

In fact, it means that it is like a round table meeting.

“cat?”

“Has anyone brought you?”

“no! I was seated from the moment I entered.”

“Your child is cute. What is your name?”

“Isn’t it when Claire’s eyes are on the cat?”

Are you cute yourself?

They are skilled apprentice wizards who can’t even see through transformation magic inferior to Polymorph. Being cute was rather something he would say to the new chicks.

“Meow.”

Still, scratching your chin isn’t too bad.

In the end, the tower owner settled in the apprentice wizard player’s Murupak and watched the round table meeting.

It was surprising that wizards of all classes gathered together, but to think that adventurers were also mixed in.

This is something that was unimaginable in the past.

‘It’s the same with that figure.’

The appearance of seniors having a close conversation with each other.

Topju thought with a groan.

Chief Lee Ho-yeol No matter how you look at it, you are better than me.

Then, suddenly, he sniffed and wrinkled his nose.

‘Looks like he’s busy.’

The smell of disciple Jesse did not come.

Assuming, of course, that Jesse participated in the roundtable.

I didn’t intend to go first.

Isn’t that faceless?

‘Because the poor teacher only caused trouble.’

Jesse if you

He must have blamed himself for having caused such a situation because of him.

It was all because of my shortcomings.

However, Topju did not worry about Jesse.

‘I’m glad I found a teacher better than me.’

Yes, Chief Lee Ho-yeol.

He must be a much better teacher than me.

When I thought of Jesse, I remembered the times when I was with Jesse.

What caught the eye of such a top owner was none other than a smartphone.

Tuk-tuk—

Top owner touched the player’s hand with his paw.

“what’s the matter?”

“Meow.”

“You want to play? Not now.”

Pretending to be concentrating on the meeting while being distracted anyway.

‘I already remembered the face of an apprentice wizard.’

If you don’t show me your smartphone screen, I will punish you with the authority of the top owner. Did the tower owner’s petty threat come through? The player pointed his smartphone at the top owner.

“Would you like to see this?”

What popped up on the screen was a Nettube video.

The title is [Cat Favorite Video].

It was a video of fish in a fishbowl constantly moving.

Topju thought.

‘It’s really interesting.’

…no, not this one.

‘Where should I check the news of the world?’

It is the top owner who shared Jessie’s senses in the conical hat.

It’s about operating a smartphone in the yard where you have mastered the knowledge of the [system], which can be said to be the exclusive property of players. Even if you look over your shoulder, you are familiar with it.

Kkuk─

Topju manipulated the smartphone with the sole of his foot.

A screen that follows a cotton bat.

In the meantime, Topju’s front legs stopped.

A group of shooting stars embroidered the sky.

‘Meteor Strike.’

There was no distortion in the memory that was engraved on the body.

‘I really manifested.’

high-level magic.

The only thing that can manifest Meteor Strike at this point.

It would have been only his own body.

Kkuk─

Topju took a picture of the soles of his feet in the video.

and soon.

“meow.”

I sighed.

I found out why my body became like this.

To express such high-level magic 10 times in a row?

Because it’s not enough to drain mana.

It was so runaway that it wouldn’t be strange even if I died. My body.

‘What was so unfair, body.’

Even the trivial meowing made me question for a moment.

‘So how did Chief Lee Ho-yeol stop that?’

The tower owner reviewed all of his magical knowledge.

Still, no suitable solution came to mind.

They say that it manifests enough magic to make Meteor Strike fall.

‘Its debris will pour from the sky.’

That’s why Meteor Strike is called super high-level magic and the magic that brings the apocalypse.

Is the answer contained in this video? Top owner was extremely focused and glared at the screen.

“what? Did the video go over? I’ll play it again…”

“Haha!”

“Surprise! okay. I won’t touch you.”

I watched the whole day with my hair standing up.

And I found out.

“…!”

The fact that Meteor Strike went back against the sky.

Top lord couldn’t help but be astonished.

What kind of ultra-super-high-level magic is this? Chief Lee Ho-yeol…?

*

Magic Tower.

Marcelo’s office.

“Wouldn’t it have been better for me to go?”

“Nothing to worry about.”

“I’m glad if that’s the case.”

Click—

I looked at the teacup Marcelo had set down.

A tea bag submerged in a teacup.

Needless to say, it was green tea.

‘I have many thoughts.’

Should I be grateful for considering my taste without telling me?

Otherwise, how obsessed with green tea?

Should I be ashamed of the fact that teabag green tea is served in the magic tower?

‘… Let’s get wet.’

What I need at this moment is peace of mind.

“It smells good.”

I put down my teacup and looked at Marcelo’s desk.

There was a cat there.

Top lord speaks skillfully.

“I was thinking of meeting our next Tower Lord in person.”

What are you saying? Really!

I came running because my heart was pounding at the sound of that bastard’s kick tower.

Besides, where are you going to find it?

Do you think I borrowed Marcelo’s office for nothing?

“I’m sorry, but I don’t like that kind of kindness.”

There was no big reason why I, Lee Ho-yeol, didn’t like cats. However, there was a specific reason why Granfell didn’t like cats.

Yes.

clothespin.

Grandfel is extremely obsessed with the angle of the brooch.

But can you put up with cat hair?

Whether you know my troubled heart or not.

Marcelo opens his mouth with an expression of deep recall.

“Anyway, Lord Hoyeol is the next tower owner. I’m in favor of course… but for what reason? In the future, I will definitely listen to the reason for the tower lord’s decision.”

…It’s nice to ask why.

I didn’t ask for my opinion as a party.

Please stop agreeing with Tower Master’s arbitrary decision, Marcelo.

‘Rather than that, let’s hear the reason.’

It’s natural.

I have no intention of taking over the position of the head of the tower.

senior weight.

Even the weight of the stone he shared with Marcelo was so heavy that it seemed like it would sink. Besides, where is the remoteness of Grandfel usually?

‘If I carry the weight of the pagoda, I will really die.’

even if you leave it

Even if I hated that cat, I had no intention of taking the position of the tower owner. A letter of resignation as soon as you return from work without leave. What do you think of your social life?

Of course, my inner thoughts do not show on the outside.

Thanks to this, Topju took his luck at ease.

“I found out during the roundtable. Chief Lee Ho-yeol, how you blocked the meteor strike that my body manifested.”

You noticed that during the roundtable?

how?

I was intrigued and focused.

“Smartphone. Through the magic tools of adventurers.”

That was it.

no wonder.

He didn’t think of coming down from Player Murpak.

Marcelo added.

“Ah, I know that. Lord Hoyeol surely said that with just one of those things, you could summon anything you want to the door with just a flick of your finger.”

I?

when?

Anyway, this guy’s cubic tablet!

Surprised, I traced my memory…

‘Ah, rocket delivery.’

The time is clear when requesting rocket delivery to the Mage Tower.

This is also called Ki.

While rationalizing it, I obtained permission from the delivery driver to enter the magic tower.

“Yes.”

Thanks to you, I answered shamelessly, no different than usual.

Then, for a moment, he stayed silent.

From now on, if you make fun of the wrong mouth.

Because it was a situation where I didn’t know if I would take over the position of the real tower owner.

‘Even if I’m called by my boss, I’ll live as long as I’m alert.’

I listened even more to what the top lord said next.

“I will ask you directly, Chief Lee Ho-yeol.”

fortunately.

With a cat’s body, no matter how much weight you hold, you don’t feel intimidated. Even so, the towering tail seems to tell you that the pagoda owner is extremely sincere.

“What was it? That magic.”

“Excuse me, but what about that magic?”

Top lord replied to Marcelo’s cautious words.

“How was I able to return the Meteor Strike that my body manifested to the sky? As if no magic had been manifested. intact in its original state. Even if it is ki, there must be magic that is the basis for it.”

He spoke in a more serious voice.

“To my shame, even I, the owner of the tower, couldn’t see what your magic was. Yes, that’s also why I’m stepping down from the tower owner’s position. Chief Lee Ho-yeol, it’s clear that your magical ability far surpasses mine.”

…Wait a minute, was that the reason?

No matter how you look at it, it’s clear that you’re trying to pass it on to me.

I looked at Marcelo, wondering if he would help me with a word from my point of view.

But what’s wrong with your expression? Chief Marcelo?

“It’s reverse magic.”

“Ooh, reverse magic. Did you know, Marcelo?”

“That’s right. Because I also have my doubts.”

Please, don’t talk seriously with the tower owner, Marcelo.

It was me who would admit to admit it.

Misunderstandings should be corrected.

‘I don’t know if it’s Ki.’

Reversal magic wasn’t that great of a magic.

Search → Interference → Expression.

A simple inverse manifestation of the structure of magic.

Because that was the reverse magic.

“…yes?”

Marcelo asked with a blank expression.

‘Is it because the curse of the time limit disappeared?’

I seem to be seeing various expressions of Marcelo lately….

I said it again because I was wondering if it was difficult to understand.

This time, he kindly added a metaphor.

“Explore the manifested magic. Like untying a knot in turn. If the interference process is reversed and manifested, that is reverse magic.”

I’ve explained it, but it’s very clear.

A series of processes to untie the knot.

Because that was the trouble of entering the reverse magic.

Of course, interfering with other people’s magic was never easy for me either. In particular, interfering with Meteor Strike wouldn’t have even attempted if it hadn’t formed a circle?

But even if my kind explanation is colorless.

Topju snorted.

“Is that really all, Chief Lee Ho-yeol?”

“Yes.”

Because it is.

Did you know what was great?

So don’t use reversal magic as an excuse.

Stop thinking about giving up the position of the head of the tower.

“ha ha ha. You really are.”

If only the top lord had snorted, he would have lightly ignored it.

Even Marcelo was laughing.

Suddenly, I felt uneasy.

‘…Did I make a mistake or something?’

no it can’t be

I’m just saying what it is!

As always, the top lord said to me who raised his head confidently.

“I see. I understand now. To you, the interference process of Meteor Strike seemed like a simple knot. So I was able to manifest it in reverse order.”

“Yes.”

I thought I could talk a little bit now…

but somehow it wasn’t that kind of atmosphere.

I also had something to notice, so I noticed it around there.

…Was it really grandiose and great to untie that knot?

Top lord and Marcelo.

The magical talents of the two are among the best in the Mage Tower.

So, of course, I thought it would be possible.

Why?

Because I can just do it!

But I must have been seriously mistaken.

“You know sir? Criminals like me have a hard time even in the normal interference process. The series of processes described by the Lord as knots are regarded as the solution to an extremely complex conundrum.”

This time, the tower owner helped Marcelo.

“But if it is not enough to grasp the interference process in reverse, it will reach the manifestation? A truly brilliant talent, Chief Lee Ho-yeol.”

It’s probably reverse magic.

More than just the magic of eating raw.

It seemed so much better!

by the way.

“Thank you.”

Don’t be arrogant in this atmosphere, Grandfel.

What would you do if you really left the position of tower owner to me?

Of course you will do just fine.

I will definitely turn the pouring hype into reality.

But thanks to that, it’s me who suffers.

“It’s something I can’t get over as a mage before becoming the owner of the tower.”

Top lord continues his words meaningfully.

“Me too, sir.”

Marcelo adds weight.

“So, as the tower owner, I will formally invite you.”

…no wait.

The praise is clear, but I can’t like it.

At the same time as the tower owner’s tail waggled.

Because my eyesight was blinded.

Uhh, who’s going on a quest without permission?!
