“What is that hand??”
Mayrena opened her eyes wide..
What is it?.
“If you suspect the leader of a faction, you must pay compensation accordingly..”
“Bo, I want you to compensate me.?”
“We have to pay for psychological treatment due to the verbal abuse and receive treatment for PTSD from our spirits. Oh, I guess I'll be charged with defamation and insult as well. I believe you know about specificity and proof of performance..”
“P, PT... … specific… … castle? What does it all mean??”
“In this world, I committed a sin so great that it destroyed the three clans... … Well, this is what it means.”
“It can't be…….”
Mayrena's mouth was wide open..
It's as if he didn't know that what happened just a moment ago was that serious. An earthquake occurred in the pupil.
good.
Of course, when trying to sway someone, it's best to use a lot of complicated jargon..
To be honest, I don't really know what I'm talking about, but I wonder what the other person would think..
Jinhyuk spoke quickly..
“but! That doesn't mean I'm going to uproot one of the pillars of the spirit world, but if you give me the 'blessing of water' just once, I'll move on..”
‘blessing of water’.
It is a skill that only some of the water spirit beasts can use, and when blessed, the growth speed of the summoned beast increases by 10%..
‘The deadline lasts for a week, and it only applies to one of your pets, but it's still not bad..’
Anyway, the build-up had to focus on sweet potatoes rather than the spirit trees of the five elements..
“Is that enough??”
“Normally I wouldn't be able to, but I think I can get past this especially this time. Even the hurt spirits seem to have relaxed a little. That's right guys?”
“eww… … huh. huh!”
“Mo, I feel like my body and mind are getting warmer..”
“I feel like all my wounds are healing.”
5The spirit beasts of the Great Element nodded mechanically..
“All right. It's not a very difficult requirement... … I think I can do at least that much as an apology. Sorry for doubting you again. Player Jinhyuk Kang.”
[Mayrena uses the unique ability ‘Water Blessing’.]
[When applying a received blessing to a pet, growth speed increases by 10% for one week..]
A jewel imitating a water drop fell on the palm of my hand..
This is one of the blessings that only upper-middle level spirit beasts can use..
“thank you sir. deposited correctly.”
Now finally…….
Jinhyuk walked slowly..
The Empire's Chancellor 'Alfred' was seen standing among the tables crowded with players and residents..
They seem to be very busy selecting talented people to hire, even if it is the next best option..
Because it was so pitiful to see him sweating profusely through his beard..
Jinhyuk came close to Alfred..
And then I whispered.
“…….”
It's so quiet that you can't hear it unless you're nearby..
OK.
“……omg?”
I heard the sound of air leaving Alfred's mouth..
The rapidly dilating pupils were filled with feelings of astonishment and fear..
should never come out.
This is because secrets known only to a very few people within the empire were leaked..
I tried to grab the other person and interrogate him right away..
“Now, wait a minute.……!”
However, Alfred's hand crossed the air helplessly..
Jinhyuk had already disappeared like smoke..
‘He left behind the words, ‘I will visit the Empire in a week.’.

When I came out of the tower, the sunset was dyeing the whole world red..
Unlike the hectic fighting just moments ago, this world was so peaceful..
With office workers leaving work…….
……Images of people laughing and talking passed by..
“Everyone looks peaceful.”
Ellis, who had already taken off her mask, came and stood next to Jinhyuk..
Then I glanced at Jinhyuk..
“Do they know? The fact that the daily life that is currently maintained can be shattered at any time.?”
90If the next level of the tower cannot be conquered within 1 day, humanity will be destroyed..
If an outbreak occurs, a city with an open gate will turn into a living hell overnight..
That was a reality that could strike at any time after the Tower of Trials appeared..
“That won't happen unless I fail.”
“You are confident. Well, that's your charm.”
“Don't talk nonsense and just follow me. If I keep doing this, I'll make other kids wait too long..”
Cheon Yu-seong and Teresa had already gone to the meeting place. Taemin Lee and Yoo Yeon-hwa are also planning to come after a long time, so it would be best to hurry up as much as possible..
however.
“It's not nonsense.”
Ellis' voice was colder than usual..
The eyes were also looking directly at Jinhyuk..
“You may seem terribly selfish, but in fact your actions are always designed to save more lives of your kind..”
Punish the evildoers and save the innocent..
The means and methods are different, but the premise has not changed..
Because working hard to become stronger was ultimately to prevent the destruction of humanity..
“In fact, turning all the competitors around you into enemies and assuming the role of being the lone target for their arrows is probably based on the calculation that you do not want to cause harm to others..”
“I think I'm interpreting it too broadly... … All I do is pay back to those I don't like..”
“well. At least not in my opinion.”
“Have you learned how to pay attention yet? So what do you want to say??”
“I'm giving you advice..”
Ellis shrugged..
“No one can control every situation. There will come a day when you too will have to make a choice that is too difficult to bear..”
Even wise men make foolish choices..
Even a saint can make decisions that lead the country to ruin..
It's a given..
Because there is no such thing as a flawless being other than God..
“I know it's reckless.”
“I don't hate that type of personality either..”
Ellis wasn't blaming Jinhyuk right now..
It wasn't even about reprimanding me for doing something I couldn't handle..
only.
“Trust the people around you a little more.”
I wanted to give you strength.
Because I knew how lonely it was to sit on the throne alone..
“The crown is surprisingly heavy..”
As the head of the family who protected the family from numerous enemies,.
As a contract holder.
I just want to share that burden.
“mosquito!”
The sweet potato, which was curled up in a ball, also opened its eyes..
When I saw the tail wagging vigorously, I definitely felt my heart being touched..
‘A colleague…….’
Jinhyuk thought over those words in his mind..
Life in the past was one in which everyone who approached had interests and could turn into enemies at any time..
To climb the tower, you must trust no one. He only had to take care of himself.
It was natural, it was the only way..
‘okay. This is what it felt like.’
There are people with whom you can have your back and share your joys and pains with..
maybe… … The people waiting for them at the meeting point are probably beings who can be called colleagues, like Ellis and Goguma..
“therefore. I spoke at length, but in the end, I just wanted to ask you to buy me something delicious later.?”
“If someone speaks seriously, please take it calmly..”
“It's not a human, it's a vampire.”
Now I'm trying to lose my identity.
“That's why I'm saying it's because it's a one-course meal with cheese dakgalbi sprinkled with seaweed powder and a drizzle of sesame oil and fried rice. That's not true.?”
“Of course it's because of that... … No. hey!”
“also… … . They say appetite makes even vampires dance..”
Jinhyuk clicked his tongue..
Then Ellis, with a red face, let go of reason..
“Do you really want to be xxxed and then be xxxed? Do you want to catch me today? I do it in moderation, but if I wanted to, I would have done it to a great extent.!”
Still, when I first met him, he had a somewhat solemn atmosphere to the point that I could use the adjective 'noble'..
Now it has become so bad that even gangsters in the slums cry..
‘……It's not because of me?’
no way. No way.
Probably not.
maybe…….
Jinhyuk felt an unknown sense of responsibility and headed to the meeting place..
And Ellis followed, yelling repeatedly..
＊＊＊
About an hour later. Jinhyuk and Ellis arrived at the agreed upon location..
Even though it was a weekday evening, the streets of Myeongdong were crowded with people..
The two went to a Chinese restaurant known as a good restaurant in Myeongdong..
Already inside were Teresa, Cheon Yu-seong, Lee Tae-min, Yeon-hwa Yeon-hwa, and Kim Hee-woong, who had entrusted the Black Crow Guild..
“Oppa is here!”
“brother! You are here! oh. Mr. Ellis is here too..”
Yeon-hwa Yeon-hwa and Tae-min Lee welcomed us..
Well, since they weren't invited to the prom, it will feel like they haven't seen each other in a long time..
That made me even more happy..
“Mr. Jinhyuk. Thank you for your hard work.”
“The hardships... … . What kind of trouble does this guy have to go through after committing a lot of fraud?.”
Teresa and Cheon Yu-seong also greeted each other in their own ways..
This time, I tried to be nice to that kid by coming quietly, but he always added something strange..
“Representative, are you here?.”
Lastly, Kim Hee-woong also bowed his head politely..
Come to think of it, the Black Crow Guild also needs some management.…….
Last time I heard, I heard that there were a lot of new people, and it seemed like that was true..
Because the dark circles under Kim Hee-woong's eyes were no joke..
“It looks like you've been through a lot. I'm sorry I couldn't pay attention to you personally because I was busy..”
“no. The CEO is grateful just for being there. Thanks to you, I was able to settle down and grow my guild..”
Kim Hee-woong bowed his head with sincerity..
Instead of being recognized for what I did by Shin Geon-soo, the former guild leader, I was exploited, so I was able to live in gratitude every day just for being able to be where I am now..
After the brief greetings were exchanged, the full-fledged after-party began..
The snacks were beef noodles with thick meat and hand-made noodles, which are the best at this restaurant, and Kwabarow, which had excellent crunchiness..
When we added Soryongpo and Kaoliangju to it, a pretty nice table was completed..
“Oh oh. This is a dish full of elegance..”
Ellis let out an exclamation..
These days, Ellis, who is obsessed with modern food, is enjoying the hobby of enjoying various foods from Korea, China, and Japan..
“It was a lot of trouble to keep up with a lowly contractor, but was I finally receiving compensation for my troubles?.”
“what? Do something after me?”
“okay. If it weren't for the 'Blood Road', you wouldn't have achieved your desired goal. I don't know how you used the abilities of this noble body, but I'll ask you about it after eating..”
Ellis held his head high..
It is raised so high that only the neck is visible..
Hmm.
This probably won't work.
I need to change my habits for the first time in a while..
Jinhyuk secretly placed the prepared food on the table..
Alice, who had been tinkering with various things for a while, suddenly discovered the food that Jinhyeok had placed there..
“What is this gray-colored, soft-looking food??”
“It's called stinky tofu. It's the food that famous BJs are trying to eat so everyone can eat it..”
Although I omitted the word “for punishment”, it is true that it is popular..
Because there was a rush to get it as soon as possible through express delivery by plane..
“Whoa. It's such a famous food?”
“huh. Also, this is mint chocolate bought from Vera. It's my favorite dessert. If you eat stinky tofu and then take a bite of mint chocolate, wow. I'll never eat any other food again.”
maybe… … Forever..
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth turned up..
At the same time, Alice's eyes sparkled and she grabbed her spoon..
