The Player Hides His Past - Chapter 43

Episode 43. It’s been a while since the sword (3)

While sipping the tea, it’s also a while to check the content of the emotion.

Click—

I put the teacup down.

To put it mildly, it was like this.

“It’s a pity.”

First of all, it seemed that there was no way to lower the level limit of an item, even in the Mage Tower.

[Vampire Count’s Orb]

[Grade: Unique]

[Limit :

Lv

. Every time it comes in contact with magic, that blood bursts out and damages the target.]

Additional damage with a high probability for each attack.

I thought it might not be a good fit for me.

‘Because magic can be creatively expressed.’

Breaking a single lump of stone into small pieces.

Imagine blowing it up at an enemy.

It’s because the additional damage effect is applied for each small stone.

The damage was more than doubled.

I asked for an appraisal to see if I could save even the effect.

‘Because level 400 is too far away.’

That means my level is only level 226.

‘He crossed the water.’

When I thought so, my eyes naturally went to P.S.

-[Vampire Count’s Orb] has an effect that is hard to see even in the Mage Tower. I wonder if the disparate effect is related to the devil’s magic tool. Therefore, we formally request a loan for research purposes on the [Vampire Count’s Orb].

“Is it a rental request?”

Certainly, devil’s items were not common.

Moreover, the [Vampire Count’s Orb] was of a high level.

I didn’t think long.

Ssss—

I immediately scribbled a feather pen on the parchment.

I will accept that request.

Aside from the immediate effect, it was an item that only occupied my inventory. Above all, the world’s magic tower won’t jump out after eating the item.

furthermore.

“There is a give and take in everything.”

Yes, there is an exchange.

I glanced down at the brooch for some reason.

‘…because this has something else to say.’

When I was asked to return the hexahedral brooch, just in case.

If I hold out the [Vampire Count’s Orb], wouldn’t it be possible to postpone it somehow?

Considering the level of magic tools scattered throughout the Mage Tower, there might be a possibility of just forgetting about it.

‘I’m at a loss, but I tolerate it up to level 400. generously.’

Who knows?

Good research results might be good for me too.

Hold on to that useless expectation.

Move on to the next one.

[Pure Emerald Crystal].

Like a material item, the shape can be made to suit my requirements.

It was indeed a magic tower.

but before production.

There was an explanation of what kind of effect it would have.

– As a result of the appraisal, the effect [Recovers HP when hit] is confirmed.

Back when Arcana was a game.

How the magic tower was able to sweep away players’ money.

It seemed like he knew why.

‘To know the effect before production!’

It meant that equipment could be crafted appropriately for that effect.

There must have been a reason why players paid so much money for appraisal.

By the way, I can’t believe I’m using this advanced service for free.

‘It’s not bad to feel a bit successful.’

Recovers life when hit.

Above all, its versatility was a good effect.

It’s an effect that doesn’t really discriminate between classes.

‘If you think about reselling them later…’

It’s definitely better to make [Accessories].

Even in the appraisal results, there was content that [Accessory] production was recommended.

Above all, I can match the level limit to my level so that I can wear it right away.

“There is no need to hesitate about this either.”

It took a while to pick up the feather pen again.

The last item [Island Treasure Nishikigoi Scale Silk].

I checked the evaluation results that I was most curious about.

[Island Treasure Nishikigoi Scale Silk]

[Rating: Unique]

[Restrictions: None]

[Effect: Grants flame attribute affinity increase effect to crafted item / Increases evasion rate / Applies aesthetic stat release effect to crafted item] [

Description: Same It is a silk that cannot be exchanged for heavy jewels. Since it is so rare, no one will dare to evaluate its value.]

Above all, it was a question.

It was the [Aesthetic] stat.

‘Because I couldn’t find it even after searching the Internet.’

I wonder if the Magic Tower knows anyway.

However, it was an unexpected result.

“Mmm.”

…Not even the Magic Tower knows?

On the parchment, there was clearly written ‘an unknown ability that has not been confirmed’.

Like a magic tower that searches for the unknown and the truth.

As with the [Vampire Count’s Orb], there was a postscript added.

To say the least, it was a polite request for a loan.

yes you might be wondering

unknown abilities.

I have to check the effect of [Simmi] to solve the problem.

but.

“I’m sorry.”

Can’t I give up on this?

‘This is for survival purposes, not for research purposes…!’

Of course, the lower the level limit, the lower the absolute performance of the equipment.

Now, where am I supposed to cover cold and hot meals?

whatever material it is.

It was my reality that I had to make it and use it if it was of any help.

And above all, Grandfel’s sense of aesthetics.

“I’ve already decided where to write it.”

Because that lofty eye had in mind from the beginning what to make with these scales and silk. Soon, my vision turned to the empty jacket pocket.

Susuk—

I finally wrote my answer on the parchment.

──────

[Vampire Count’s Orb] – Rental

[Pure Emerald Crystal] – Jewelry Crafting

[Island Treasure Nishikigoi Scale Silk] – Handkerchief Crafting

──────

Handkerchief.

‘…I wouldn’t have imagined it if it was really me.’

It’s a handkerchief.

After all, it was an item that could satisfy formality and aesthetic sense at the same time. In addition, it would be nice if I could take care of the plausible effect.

‘You mean you don’t know until you open something?’

[Aesthetic] The effect of stats.

It wasn’t up to me.

what i can do

Just to add a few words as a postscript.

– I want the best results regardless of the cost.

Ssuk–

very like me.

-Don’t expect the magic tower’s ability.

.

.

.

…Anyway, I said something was missing.

Mathis Dean Carle!

I forgot the senior mage’s message.

Check it out later.

Alas.

It would have been easier if he had thrown a proof like [Sage’s boredom]. Isn’t this just a simple request?

-…I’ll be waiting for you in the Floating Garden.

Of course, I didn’t know the face, the friendship, or the business.

Wouldn’t it be the same co-worker from a broader perspective?

To put it bluntly, I’m a non-regular temporary worker, but anyway.

‘Am I still waiting?’

Instead of going out to the meeting place, it’s like reading the company’s message.

‘Wait, if it’s a floating garden…’

It was a space that could be called a social meeting place in the Magic Tower.

It wasn’t hard to find.

Among the books placed in the lab, there was also a book about the structure of the Mage Tower.

Of course, the prior knowledge of a social venue was also obtained there.

however.

I sat at my desk and didn’t move at all.

Anyway, the temper of this guy who values formality and procedures!

There was no flexibility in it.

Even if it’s not a mutually agreed promise, even if it’s a work colleague.

Even if you are waiting for a long time at the meeting place.

There is no reason to meet.

I thought again.

‘No matter how much I think about it…’

It was a godsend that I hit my job!

He said he couldn’t follow instructions.

Imagine me fighting against my boss Barak Barak.

Even his hair is silver.

‘…just imagining it is terrifying.’

It’s a pity for Matisse, who will be waiting, but it can’t be helped.

That this stubbornness is unbreakable.

Because I knew it well through experience.

or refuse an interview.

I told the players to get etiquette training first.

There’s no end to it, so to speak. As for the experience…

– It’s difficult.

It was.

Just four letters.

that was my reply

Immediately, however, letters appeared on the parchment.

– Then, is tomorrow afternoon okay?

It was a sharp reply as if he didn’t care about being rejected.

At this point, I wonder what its purpose is.

Senior Mage It’s obvious that I’ll be bitten by my qualifications.

I picked up a feather pen.

-That’s also difficult.

But that too is difficult.

Appointments in the afternoon.

That’s why there was a schedule for swordsmanship training.

Once again, express your intention to decline.

But this time, the answer came back immediately.

– Then what about the morning time the next day?

…isn’t this the only way there’s no other choice?

I understand a little bit why Zhuge Liang’s heart was shaken.

Of course, Grandfell’s stubbornness was so stubborn that it couldn’t be compared to Zhuge Liang’s.

The reason I accepted was not because I was shaken by affection, but simply because the appointment time had changed to morning.

‘That’s because it’s in the Mage Tower in the morning anyway.’

For some reason, it seems that the positions of A and B have changed.

I opened my mouth as if it were natural.

“I can meet you in the morning.”

…Yes, I’m good. really.

*

Kwok –

I try to hold the sword.

Shuk—

I try to swing my sword.

Repeat that sequence of actions.

‘A damn demon hunter.’

Unfortunately, [Skills] were not created simply by repeating actions.

Because in Arcana, skills were the exclusive property of each class.

‘It’s not something you can get by working hard.’

Even if it’s not necessarily a class-specific skill.

It meant that the skills of other affiliated classes could not be learned in general.

But i know

Skill cannot be explained.

That there is another ‘something’.

『Magic』 was one of those things.

and.

It seems that this [sword skill] is also one of them.

Gooooh—

I looked at the light emanating from the sword.

My expectations were exactly right.

“It won’t be easy, but think of becoming one with the sword.”

There was no understanding or deep realization there.

“You are the sword, and the sword is you… Huh?!”

Intuitive mastery, like magic.

Just watching and following.

I was also able to radiate sword energy accordingly.

Harkon couldn’t contain his astonishment.

“…no way! I never thought it was truly possible!”

Of course, my swordsmanship was incomparable to Harkon’s.

To be precise, it would be correct to say that it is faint.

Even compared to Jessica Enoch, it was a terrible level.

“Sir Hoyeol, do you know how great this is!”

Harkon is clearly excited.

But even if he didn’t express it that way, I could feel it to some extent. That’s right, I was experiencing with my body how great swordsmanship was.

‘…I think I know why they emphasized physical strength.’

Did you say that you were swayed by the sword?

I could really understand what he said.

It feels like my stamina is being cut in pieces…!

Sweat was dripping down his back just by radiating sword energy.

The feeling of fatigue accumulating in the body in real time was a bonus.

I suddenly realized the reality.

‘Because it’s no different than skipping an intermediate step.’

What is black?

It must be close to the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

It’s because I’ve filled that level into the bottomless dock.

It’s only natural that stamina or whatever is extremely consumed.

Also, let’s think about my level.

It’s only level 226.

Let alone Harkon, there is a huge gap between Yesica at level 430 and Enoch at level 400.

What is the difference between strength and agility?

I don’t even need to say that anymore.

Because I was the one who put all my points into magic.

Even so, he doesn’t act harshly.

It’s a way to make up for that deficiency.

because I already knew

‘…Class Quest!’

It was the perfect solution to complement the stamina, strength and agility stats at the same time.

so don’t complain

I took my sword and spoke shamelessly.

“The sun is unusually warm today.”

I used the weather as an excuse to wipe off the cold sweat.

…Struggling is a skill if you hit it shamelessly like this.

Harkon’s turmoil never ended.

“I was certain before, but only today can I say it with confidence. Sir Hoyeol! You must walk the path of the sword. what are five fingers At least within three fingers of the continent…!”

After talking for a long time, Harkon said.

“It’s safe to say that I have nothing to teach you, in fact.”

wait what do you mean?

It hasn’t even been a few days, but it’s already over, what’s over!

Where else would you find a teacher like Harkon?

‘I’m still going to eat… No, how many things do I have to learn?!’

Regardless of whether or not I acquired sword skills, I felt unfair.

I wanted to show my broken heart.

But, fortunately, there was no need for that.

“From now on, it’s the stage where you realize it in real combat.”

“It’s real.”

“Yes! There just can’t be a better environment than this. Because monsters are overflowing around Yusra Kingdom. On the battlefield, where life and death go back and forth, the sword becomes even thicker and takes on its own color.”

aha that’s what it meant

Then there’s no need to feel sorry for you.

Even if it wasn’t, I was curious about it myself.

‘When the natural enemy relationship did not activate.’

How much is my power?

To be honest, I didn’t have high expectations.

More than anything I like my subject.

Because I knew my class well.

demon hunter.

Unless you’re hunting demons.

A class that shows performance as if a few of those screws are missing.

however.

‘…what?’

Fluff-!

I thought as I watched the monster fall.

this is more than expected
