The Player Hides His Past - Chapter 25
Episode 25. Parachute
『The feeling of humility did not exist in Grandfel. Proof of underestimation. Because the overestimation had to be turned into a reality after all.]
That is unchanging nature.
knowing that fact.
Without hesitation, I added the list to the parchment.
──────
1. Magic tools related to magic regeneration
2. Books related to beginner magic
3. Books related to intermediate magic…
──────
Shamelessly.
Aren’t you sorry for asking so much?
unfortunately it doesn’t
As I said, I will definitely repay you for this excessive treatment.
So, in the end, it is the country that suffers.
Let’s think of it as a rough payment.
I handed Marcelo a parchment filled with requirements.
“I will prepare immediately.”
…really? Is that all?
Even if I ate my heart so shamelessly.
After seeing Marcelo’s insignificant reaction, I feel relieved now.
He thanked me again.
“Thank you for your cooperation. Adventurer Lee Ho-yeol.”
Then, frankly, he added:
“However, it is not possible to conduct proper research right now. As you pointed out, it is because there is an afterthought in my research process.”
Marcelo smiles bitterly.
Is it because the face has no flesh?
When you put on a pathetic expression, sympathy sprouts.
Of course, there is nothing I can do to help.
‘How can I explain what I just see.’
innate talent.
This is not going to happen by no-oh-oh power.
Of course, it’s not a personality enough to spit out such inner feelings. I.
“Wait. Until you overcome the gap.”
The words were grandiose.
In reality, it was a simple statement.
Until the next quest comes to mind.
I just meant to wait.
Marcelo said with a slightly brightened face.
“Thank you for your understanding. During the research, you can freely use this laboratory and everything you need for research upon request. Then…”
Tak—
Marcelo left the lab.
I was left alone in the lab, thinking.
…no matter how you think about it, it worked out!
It’s colorless to have resented the snout that was rushing forward.
I thought to myself.
‘…Could this be because of luck?’
[Name: Grandfell Cloudy Arpheus Romeo]
[Class: Demon Hunter]
[Level: 134]
[Ability]
Strength: 27 / Agility: 33 / Magical Power: 84 / Luck: 3
[Possession Points: 0]
34 Levels Up .
I have 33 holding points to horsepower.
I invested the rest in luck.
‘Actually, I didn’t want more luck, but really.’
Even if it’s just a class quest.
Wasn’t the return on investment in luck enough?
But again, it was the human heart.
‘Although there is no law that this is an effect of luck.’
Why don’t things seem to go well every time I invest points in luck?
Anyway, consider it a good jinx.
When I put my thoughts together, the scenery of the laboratory came into view only then.
‘It’s incredibly luxurious for a lab.’
A study desk, a bookshelf, even a feather pen.
There was nothing to offend.
That there is no flaw in Grandfel’s aesthetic sense.
That would be a great level.
‘All the players’ money is here.’
The magic tower that viciously sucked gold in the past.
Right now, I’m not even receiving portal usage fees.
It was really notorious back when it was a game.
‘in short.’
It is a laboratory built with the blood and sweat of players.
I spit out my impressions of him.
“It’s a pity there is no green tea.”
Yes, I should have added fewer green tea bags to the requirements…
‘No, that’s not it.’
I’m getting bolder day by day, a guy like me…!
What a magic tower. Magic tower.
It is said to be one of the best forces in Arcana.
Now, thanks to the chief mage, a laboratory has been built in such a mage tower.
It was said that my situation was no different from a parachute.
‘It’s not a situation where I’m just going to like it.’
Why do parachutes also have to have a standard?
At least the parachute function should be possible.
It means that it can stay above the clouds for a long time without plummeting to the ground.
So from now on, what I do is simple.
Well, it wasn’t that different from before.
If it was for not sinking.
To not fall this time.
I’ll have to struggle again.
In that sense, the beginning wasn’t bad.
Sussuk—
“!”
Suddenly, words began to be engraved on the parchment on the desk.
…Is it really like the messenger of the Mage Wizards?
It’s like a wizard.
For a second, I was startled.
-The magic tool you requested has been prepared in Garnet Hall.
The magic tool I requested is…
‘an item related to magic regeneration.’
From hundreds of millions to tens of hundreds.
Considering the level of the mage tower, there might be items that are more than that.
I request such an item for research purposes.
It was obtained by renting the right to use.
what am i
Is it okay to give something like that to a parachute?
It’s normal to feel embarrassed.
I confidently picked up a feather pen and scribbled it.
-Don’t expect the magic tower’s discernment.
*
The top floor of the Magic Tower.
The backlight was cast by the luminous elements embroidered on the ceiling.
Marcelo faced five shadows.
They were the elder mages of the Mage Tower.
“I will respect your judgment. Marcelo Chief Mage.”
Marcelo said nothing.
The call of the elders was expected.
‘Because I proposed joint research to the adventurers.’
Also, what kind of research is that normal research?
Maybe it can solve the current situation.
It was a study that might be a clue.
so that.
Marcelo did something that never existed in the history of the Mage Tower.
‘That knowledge is absolutely necessary for talent.’
Just by looking at it, it immediately follows the magic and manifests itself?
That alone is a great thing.
But is the magic manifested according to it normal magic?
Marcelo was confident.
‘Besides, he knows about the estrangement.’
To be precise, he said as if he had overcome the gap.
It was a strange thing.
‘How did the adventurers understand the concept of magic?’
Even if you are alone, you are struggling with the concept of science.
But what was certain was that he would be of great help to this research.
The shadows added their words to the silent Marcelo.
“But you should definitely take responsibility for that judgment.”
responsibility?
Marcelo swallowed the mocking laughter that was about to burst out.
‘Are you guys entitled to mention responsibility?’
Idiots who fall into ideals and turn away from reality.
Marcelo hated the elder wizard.
In my mind, I wanted to ask a question right away.
The numerous contradictions of this Mage Tower.
But it couldn’t be.
“Go away, Chief Mage Marcelo.”
Soon the shadows returned.
Behind them, a huge orb of magic power was visible.
The shape of a person floating in that sphere of magical power.
“Won’t any more fuss get in the way?”
At that question, Marcelo bowed his head.
Quickly—
he gnashed his teeth lightly.
‘How long are you going to be silent? Tower Lord…!’
*
Garnet Hall.
A space red like a pomegranate.
There was a wizard wearing a robe.
“These are the requested magic tools related to magic regeneration.”
…What’s so much anyway?
Still, it’s because it’s a magic tower.
I was looking forward to it.
However, this was more than expected from the quantity.
I looked at the magic tool items one by one.
[Frozen knowledge]
[Grade: Unique]
[Limit: Lv.550]
[Effect: Recovers 50% of the magic consumed when using ice barrier magic.]
[Description: A keepsake of a great ice barrier wizard. The magical knowledge he achieved during his lifetime is frozen and preserved in the necklace.]
…For a moment, he went crazy from the start.
A unique item limited to level 550.
It was an item that players couldn’t even look at.
Besides, the effect is no joke.
It’s limited to ice barrier magic, but it returns 50% of the consumed magic power.
‘…The higher the level, the more ridiculous the efficiency will be.’
Why did high-ranking magic consume so much mana?
It’s really worth calling.
I thought so.
Of course, it was a piece of cake for me.
‘It’s level 550. Level 400 isn’t enough.’
Even in little things.
I can feel that I am a parachute.
But, of course, there is no such thing as revealing one’s inner feelings.
“Excellent.”
I said calmly and looked at the next item.
…But what?
[Limit: Lv.500]
[Limit: Lv.600]
[Limit: Lv.450]
The level limit was too high.
I couldn’t help but be furious.
‘What do you look at my level…!’
Overestimation is such an overestimation.
Show me another magic tool.
I wanted to change my words right away.
Wasn’t there a message delivered on parchment?
‘What can I expect from the magic tower’s discernment!’
It wasn’t for nothing that they said that the real mouth was straight.
Suddenly, one particularly small item caught my eye.
It’s not even a necklace or a ring…
is it a brooch?
The wizard said, perhaps noticing my interest.
“It’s an imperfect magic tool, but I prepared it just in case.”
An imperfect magic tool.
Let’s check it out.
…what?
Once the level limit is passed.
[Sexy Star Brooch 1/6]
[Grade: Unique]
[Limit: Lv.100]
[Effect: Recovers 10% of the mana consumed when using magic.]
[Description: It is a part of a brooch that combines six into one. Because it was only a small part, the effect was considerably lost.]
Maybe it’s because I’ve only seen great items so far.
I thought the effect was flat.
But in hindsight, it didn’t seem like that.
‘Ice barriers and flame systems all had restrictions.’
They say that it returns 50% or 40% of the consumed mana.
A stringent condition was added.
However, as you can see, there were no conditions for the brooch.
‘Besides, considering my fighting style…’
Let’s say it’s my fighting style.
It wasn’t anything great.
be it magic or science.
There is just nothing.
Because it was my way to bring everyone together and fight desperately.
In that sense, it could be said that it suits me more than any other item placed here.
“Rent this.”
Above all, it passed the strict aesthetics of Grandfel.
The mage gave me a look of surprise at my choice.
“Don’t you need another magic tool?”
I can’t use it even if I need it…!
Because I couldn’t tell you even if I died.
I answered.
“This is enough for me.”
“I see! I understand what that means.”
What is that expression of admiration?
It seemed like you misunderstood my meaning.
I had nothing more to see.
So, what would you do if you stared at a tree you couldn’t climb right away?
at that time
It is appropriate to develop the strength to climb any giant tree.
So it’s time to struggle again.
I got out of Garnet Hall right away.
My destination is like that.
Just like the players looking under their feet. It wasn’t
the Yusra Islands…
it was just an ordinary rift.
‘I have to figure out the subject.’
Treasure Island Yusra Islands.
Even though the nickname appealed to me.
The minimum appropriate level was level 350.
430 level.
While defeating Count Ascura, who is stronger than that level.
If you ask me what are you afraid of?
‘There are no demons…!’
After all, demon-type monsters did not appear in the Yusra Islands.
The reason why I was able to play an active part in the estate of Count Ascura was due to the great effect of [Natural Enemy Relations].
Although there was a “magic” that was highly effective.
Even that magic wouldn’t have been able to manifest several times if it hadn’t been for the improved mana.
‘I’m sorry, but I can’t help it.’
what was promised
More than anything, I was laying the groundwork now.
suitable for laying the groundwork for it.
I’m about to get a back ship called the Magic Tower.
‘There is no reason to be impatient.’
So the Yusra Islands are far from me…
“!”
It was then.
The quiet class quest window flickered.
[Class Quest: Pregnancy]
The prelude has risen and the beacon has risen.
The last demon hunter.
Light up a world covered in evil.
—Train your weakened body. (Repeat)
─Investigate the evil of the Yusura system
.
I didn’t delay.
Immediately, the brooch was inserted into the lapel of the suit.
Even going to the battlefield.
Prepare for a very noble battle.
But I said it more seriously.
“There is no training as effective as real combat.”
