The Player Hides His Past - Chapter 448
Episode 448. Not my taste (1)
Corridor of shadows.
Appearance message printed on the continent.
The presence was intense.
Antonium, the capital of the empire.
Heshiyashi, a southern territory of the Empire.
Polestar, Eastern Territory of the Empire.
Furthermore, all places on the Arcana continent.
An unidentified building floated in the sky.
“Haha, is that a saint in the sky?”
“That’s the corridor of shadows the message said…?”
“The Corridor of Shadows, what do you mean by that?”
Just one line of message.
“That is the message of emergence. No, it’s too long to explain!”
Even so, the situation was better than the Arcana people who knew nothing. The moment the players explained to the Arcanaians about the Shadow Corridor.
same time.
The great coalition under the Holy Temple coalition stopped in place.
“What do you think of those snake eyes?”
“well. I have nothing to say.”
“What is that again?”
Nam Tae-min Hisagi Leoni.
The three guild masters of the Great Alliance.
In addition to Skaarl and Second Sun’s Schraig.
Ever since Arcana was just a game, even those who have firmly held their ranks could not guess its identity. Schraig murmured.
“It doesn’t look possible to enter…?”
“It looks like that to anyone.”
“No, was that really true in the first place? Isn’t that a hallucination?!”
It was a natural reaction.
Like a mirage in the desert.
Because the Corridor of Shadows was reflected all over the Arcana Continent. Even the shape seems to hang upside down in the sky.
All right.
Those who looked at the corridor with serious expressions.
Soon after, the reconnaissance team returned.
But there was no harvest.
The faces of the guild members who got off the horse were bewildered.
“No matter how far I go, I can’t get any closer!”
“Cannot set teleport coordinates.”
“Damn, no matter what I do, I can’t get closer.”
While full of doubts.
Instinctively, a sigh of relief came out.
Schraig continues his words cautiously.
“How come something like that hasn’t come to mind in reality?”
Thinking of the London Dungeon still gave me goosebumps.
But the relief did not last long.
Hisagi, a longed-for preceptor, pointed out the reality.
“I can’t be at ease forever. As long as cracks exist. An ideal where the Arcana Continent and reality are connected. There is no law that the Corridor of Shadows will also not be updated in reality.”
“As expected.”
No matter how I thought about it, the best solution was clear.
Clearing the Unstable Rift on the Arcana Continent.
I’ve learned that the creation of reality rifts can also be inhibited.
Leonie quietly asked Skal.
“hey. Can’t we ask Bingryong to give us a ride? But if it’s a dragon, wouldn’t it be able to fly enough to tell if it’s real or fantasy?”
It made sense.
Is the Corridor of Hidden Peace a mere mirage?
Or is it a new field?
If not, is it a dungeon that must be conquered?
Because it was not enough to understand with a single message.
However, Skal bit his lip.
“…not my territory.”
In fact, it was Skal who was more frustrated than anyone else.
Bingryong should be full of dignity.
Bingryong, who must show off his higher pride than anyone else…
-“I am a chick. That’s a new chick.”
Why are you pretending to be a chick!
The Dark Dragon’s words were intertwined there.
Skaarl couldn’t find out the truth.
Leonie looked at Skal with pity.
“Are you a dragon knight?”
In the end, no solution came out.
Eventually, I had to think about it again.
Nam Tae-min, looking up at the corridor of shadows, muttered.
“Hoyeol. No, do you think the commander-in-chief knows something?”

Arcana Continent, which is not quite just a fuss.
Cloudy’s.
under the pouring night sky.
I raised my teacup.
While in love with green tea.
Also, isn’t it Mr. Granfell who takes great care of his body health?
“It is late.”
Health common sense of reality that comes to mind.
Green tea caffeine consumed at night interferes with sleep.
Even knowing that fact, the reason for picking up the teacup was simple.
“Today there is a good reason.”
Yes.
I gave the Akkshan type to the shadow mercenary group. It means that dangling green tea bags were desperately restrained to break the atmosphere.
Late-night tea time to fill your green tea quota.
“I am still not satisfied.”
Click.
If it was like usual, it wouldn’t have been strange if exclamation burst out.
I can fully sympathize with your feelings, Grandfel.
Even I, who don’t have an aesthetic sense, thought that was a bit off.
The night sky of the Arcana continent.
I don’t want to see the evil eyes popping up all over the place.
Even that was not enough, and even the Corridor of Shadows rose up.
‘The name is right.’
Should we call it a building that roughly resembles a coiled snake?
To say it was a castle, its appearance was far from achievement.
It’s hard to describe, but I’m sure it’s overly black.
The roof, the outer walls, the windows, and the flags hanging there.
Even that black and dreary thing hangs upside down in the sky.
It must have been said that it was being witnessed all over the Arcana continent like a mirage…
Of course, I can’t say anything nice.
“There must be a reason you chose the bottom as a sacred place.”
The bottom line here refers to 『The Canyon of the Forgotten』. It’s Mr. Grandfel who didn’t like it from the first time he set foot in the gorge, but this time he’s always talking about it.
“It’s a uniformly poor aesthetic.”
someone will ask
I have debts to pay off, but am I not too free?
That’s right.
If it was like the normal temperament of Grandfel, even right away.
It must have been enough to enter the hidden peace of that corridor of shadows or something.
however.
Shuk.
The gaze from the night sky to the black parchment on the tabletop.
if suitable procedures exist.
Isn’t it our Grandfel’s stubbornness to follow?
[Invitation to the Shadow Corridor]
[Rating: Epic]
[Restrictions: None]
[Effect: Allows entering the Hidden Peace Shadow Corridor]
[Description: An invitation from the Shadow God. Those who possess it can reach the Shadow Corridor. Even where there is light, there are shadows even where there is only darkness. You can’t turn away from the shadow’s invitation.
Until the corridor opens: 2 days, 12 hours, 32 minutes]
I assure you…
‘Even if the invitations were a bit aesthetically shabby.’
Granfell must have easily ignored it.
However, the invitation was unusual even at first glance.
Why, as it was written in the [Raise the Darkness] quest.
‘Even if he doesn’t have the dignity, he’s half a god.’
Smooth.
Decorations shimmering in the shadows. It was an invitation decorated with aesthetic elements that could not be found on the Arcana continent. Even the content was quite unexpected.
Especially that last sentence.
“Please do not be angry,”
I spat out generously.
“I don’t like it, but I will.”
The Shadow God seems to be pretending to be very polite. Unlike Grandfell, who, once formalized, mixes words even if it is a devil.
I, Lee Ho-yeol, are strict in this respect.
‘Because it’s clear to my eyes.’
One line that doesn’t change no matter what kind of flattery.
[Your friendship with the Shadow God has reached its lowest value.]
As the maximum value means a lot.
Wouldn’t the lowest mean a lot?
As soon as I entered the place called the Shadow Corridor.
It means that the Shadow God’s apostles might pour out in droves.
As long as you know that fact.
‘About two days until the corridor opens.’
The remaining time should not be wasted.
Because there was no way to access the Corridor of Shadows at this time.
It meant preparing for all possibilities before the corridor opened.
‘Let’s go back to reality for now.’
Is it 2 days in Arcana continent time or 2 days in real time
? If not, does the remaining time of the invitation change depending on the time difference?
I needed to figure it out for sure.
‘I’ll have to go to the Magic Tower.’
I’ll have to search the Emerald Halls for any books related to God.
It is also a scheduled order to convene the AAU branch heads.
They are the gods of Arcana, so it is said that it is a setting in the days when it was just a game.
It has been confirmed through numerous precedents that the influence is effective to some extent, so if there is a corner that can be used, it should be used.
“You’d better refrain from making a fuss.”
There was no need to draw unnecessary attention.
Because the portal that crosses dimensions is quite noisy.
Yes, I have that bastard’s ‘Heavenly Demon Reign’, right?
Just by taking one step.
again.
I arrived at the magic tower before I knew it.
Thanks to that, I was able to feel the extraordinary air of the Mage Tower at once.
chief’s office.
I checked the lines left on the parchment.
It was the handwriting of the Healing Magician Bellier, whom he was familiar with.
──────
Archmage Jesse Heinness’ request for emergency healing.
──────
*
Jesse and Urs.
A duel in time and space.
The whole world watched its beginning and end.
commentary?
someone cheered
-Is that the Jesse Heinness that I know like a jaggery??? What is the way of speaking, did you learn from Lee Ho-yeol??? What is the pouring magic? The heart really becomes magnificent
-Isn’t that the first among players??
-What do you say Ho-yeol Lee is,
the great wizards who have been searching for the truth for eons and hours. Because Jesse, who was able to fully utilize their knowledge and vision, showed strength on a completely different level.
-No, Lee Ho-yeol is out of the standard, so of course I excluded him haha
I couldn’t compare him to Ho-yeol.
It is said that it revealed the majesty of a ‘transcendent’ that is clearly distinguished from other players.
That was enough to make someone’s fist clenched.
“Jongjin-ah, are you looking at me properly? Maybe Jesse Heinness will be the first runner. The first runner who can properly carry Lee Ho-yeol’s burden!”
At the same time, someone else was in despair.
-I know Jesse is great… but what is that?
– Can’t you see? It’s called Urs, the creature of eternal life
. -So, where did the creature of eternal life come from?
-ㅁㅁ Do you get goosebumps again just thinking about it like that?
Urs, the eternal creature.
The Mage Tower or Lion Heart Knights.
It wasn’t a name widely known on the Arcana continent like the Shadow Mercenaries.
Such an unheard-of presence stood on equal footing with Jesse, who was second only to Lee Ho-yeol among players.
No, let’s analyze the results more soberly.
“If the duel had continued, Miss Jessie would surely have lost.”
Draw due to timeout.
As a result, mankind had to be extremely grateful.
However, the duel of time and space was not over.
“And this is the news from the players who filled the seats in the space-time arena. Exactly 24 hours later, the space-time duel will resume…!”
Jesse is currently being healed in the Magic Tower.
The exact state is not known, but… The last image captured is Jesse, who collapsed in Antonium. It was a scene where Shining’s executive Camilla, who is close to her, was helping her and transporting her to the Mage Tower.
Thanks to that, anyone could guess.
“A rematch a day later? What is so fast?”
“If Jesse is in such a serious condition, even waking up…”
“No, from what I’ve seen, Urs looks fine…”
If Jesse can’t face the space-time re-duel.
What will be the fate of the match?
Furthermore, if Jesse is defeated.
“Is it a battle that ends only when you see the end like the swordsman?”
Because everyone watched the situation.
It was natural for everyone to fall into deep water.
But speaking of concerns.
“…But hasn’t it already been a day?”
The space-time rematch did not proceed.
“Huh? It’s called canceling drunk?!”
.
.
.
The world didn’t know yet.
That everything started in the social space of time and space.
To be precise, the high-ranking people who found the lower level of the social grounds.
The fact that it was started by the upper-class people of the social grounds.
The three heads of the four families, excluding the golden Ignite Maxima.
And he had obtained the right to enter the upper floors early on.
Mary, the Witch of the Southern Sea.
They enter and exit the social space of space and time.
It was declared to the lower classes of the seven social principals.
delivered accurately.
“From now on, no one can enter the social hall without my permission.”
“I can’t get out.”
“You can’t even bring in ugly trash.”
A message from Ho-yeol.
“This is the rule of the new social hall presented by the top layer.”
