Chapter 73
73Wow, this is completely discriminatory
July is when the hot summer begins. The second graduation ceremony is being prepared at the Manshinjeon headquarters..
"Your Majesty, are you here??"
Queen Beatrice and Yapi are preparing for the graduation ceremony. They took charge of the entire graduation ceremony for the second batch of trainees..
"Last night, you came back late. Did you successfully complete the test strategy??"
"Yes, it was the Oak Gate. The 2nd batch of trainees also did excellently on the test. but……."
"but?"
Beatrice whispered in Leon's ear with a slightly troubled expression..
"Lord Yapi dealt with the orcs quite ruthlessly. He was so good that even among the trainees, some were a little scared.."
"hmm… I see. But, no problem. If we're not talking about inefficiency, isn't it appropriate to be angry at the beast?."
"If you think about it, it's true.."
Beatrice was immediately convinced, comparing orcs to devils..
"We decided to simplify the graduation ceremony, but leave it to Sir Yappy to host it.."
"Wouldn’t it be okay for you to do it??"
"If I do it, the trainees... A difficult situation arises.."
Beatrice smiled bitterly through her veil. Leon nodded his head wordlessly..
Clearly, her delusion has reached a level where she can deceive people with just the sound of her breath, coupled with the essence of corruption..
Even if their faces are covered with a veil, encouragement from close range will break the soldiers' will..
"Lord Spinner will do just fine.."
A week ago, it appears that there has been a recovery, as there is no more talk of private equity funds or something else collapsing due to the war..
There was a time when Leon was also a resident of this Earth, but he lived in an era far removed from finance. The only financial crisis he remembers experiencing was the IMF, so is there any need to say more?.
Leon shrugged his shoulders as he watched Yappy giving badges to the 2nd class trainees at the graduation ceremony..
"It seems that Sir Spinner has adapted to Earth more than Jim.."
"Your Majesty would have been less able to adapt than me.?"
"How can you be so joking? Even if I look like this, I came a couple of months earlier than you.."
Beatrice smiled and showed her smartphone. It is the latest rollable smartphone. Leon, who cannot adapt to touch-type smartphones and makes Hari hold the phone for him, has no choice but to be depressed..
"I am relieved to see that you seem to have adapted quickly. You are better than my burden."
"Your Majesty is acclimating herself to Earth, so how can I be any better??"
Leon received a rollable smartphone from Bice and shook his head, saying he didn't know how he could use the Internet or watch videos..
"Then Lord Spinner?"
"They said it was a very uncivilized means of communication and that they hacked the communications bureau.?"
"……I wonder if this is consistent with injustice.."
Yapi also made the illegally modified Wi-Fi amplification receiver installed in the Pantheon. It seemed like quite a rumor had spread among tourists..
"By the way, what happened to ‘him’ in the example??"
"It's still dormant. It held up pretty well. It is thanks to the fact that the spirit of evil still remains.."
"I will assist you if necessary. If I take off the skin on my face, will my body be able to survive?."
Beatrice shook her head and politely declined..
"You can't entrust such a task to an honorable knight. I'll do the dirty work. Surprisingly, you are a professional? But I guarantee you. It will provide valuable information to Your Majesty.."
The Magic Queen didn't say anything about how creepy it would be..
"1It's a pity that I can't watch it from my seat.."
“Hehehe,” she said with a grim smile. Leon also laughs in response..
The laughter of the two people seemed so vicious that it was somehow scary to the viewer..
* * * *
The Dragon Palace has appeared.
Unlike gates on land, if Dungeon Breaker occurs at sea, it is nearly impossible to solve..
This is because no matter how powerful a hunter is, there are restrictions on his activities in the sea..
Moreover, considering the sea creatures contaminated with magic, it is a long way to resolve the aftermath of Dungeon Breaker..
Therefore, the Hunter Association has the right to conscript powerful hunters urgently if the appearance of the Sea Gate is confirmed..
"Are you here, Hunter Yongwan Lee?."
"It’s been a while, Mr. Association President.."
Lee Yong-wan, leader of the Phoenix Guild, came to the Hunter Association where the conscription order had been issued, along with Vice-guild leader Hayuri..
"Hayuri Hunter also came.."
"hello."
Hayuri bows her head. She looked around her with her mask on..
"But I can't see other people.?"
Oh Kang-hyuk shrugged his shoulders in response to Lee Yong-wan’s question..
"Support for this Donghae Gate will come from the United States. Therefore, other guilds will remain as a preliminary strategy in preparation for an emergency.."
Lee Yong-wan’s mouth twitched at the words of Association President Oh Kang-hyuk..
"Are we the ones being conscripted first? There are many other great guilds as well.?"
"It's hard to find a guild as great as the Firebird Guild.."
"The aftermath of Jeju Island Gate still remains.."
"It's already been a month, so I believe he's already recovered. Hehehe."
'damn inspiration.'
Yongwan Lee realized the intention of the president of the association. this is a penalty.
Regarding the manipulation that took place at the Honam Plain Gate last time,.
They probably want to publicly penalize the Phoenix Guild, which was the most active in the tax exemption bill for large guilds and took action. It was safe to view it as a warning to everyone..
'I can't believe you're coming out loud now. I have a corner to believe in.'
Cast Iron Oh Kang-hyuk. He was once a powerful swordsman of the Divine Sword Guild and the Infinite Sword of the Blue Star Guild, but he is a first-generation hunter who has become the leader of the oldest and weakest force..
He is a civil servant who has to deal with a teenage guild that has grown too much..
It goes without saying that he came out so strong against the Phoenix Guild, a top 10 guild..
"I hope they won't send us alone. As expected, is the president of the association playing his trump card??"
"It's a trump card. He is not the kind of person who can evaluate something like me.."
'I guess so.'
If it were my previous self, I would have thought that the president of the association would have made some kind of secret pact with Leon or brought him into his power..
However, he is the one who witnessed the foolishness of the Holy Grail Knights at the Jeju Island gate..
Geobrick, Leon… Saints who are confident that they are chosen by God are not the ones who will listen to orders from fellow humans..
"Wow~"
"Well, isn’t it a blessing to be self-employed??"
Ha Yu-ri says something to Yong-wan Lee, who sighs and sits down. Yongwan gives her a disapproving look, but Yuri just shrugs her shoulders..
And while the two people were waiting in the waiting room, an employee of the association rushed over to report..
"President of the Association. A VIP visited. You are coming."
"hmm… ! I understand."
With those words, Association President Oh Kang-hyuk checked that his suit and tie were not out of order and even took out a hairbrush and straightened his hair..
'What are you doing??'
Anyone who sees it will think it's a confrontation. What a fuss. While Yongwan was thinking like that, the president of the association looked at him..
"Well, what is it??"
"Hunter Yongwan Lee, if it’s not rude, would you please straighten up your disheveled clothes??"
"……why?"
"That would be rude to the person who will be visiting soon.."
"Yes?"
What on earth is this Yeongtaeng talking about? It was a time when Yongwan’s expression became bizarre..
The door opens with a clunk, and a handsome man with blonde hair is guided by an employee. Oh Kang-hyeok runs to him in a huff as Manager Kim Jin-soo and Assistant Manager Han Ha-ri chase after him like attendants..
"Thank you for visiting me, Your Majesty.."
Leon Dragonia Lionheart. He looked down at Association Chairman Oh Kang-hyuk, who was bowing down, and spoke arrogantly..
"If you made the king go, there had to be a good reason.."
"Of course. I am devastated by your heavy steps.."
Leon received a warm greeting from the president of the association and naturally sat down at the head of the table. “Ugh,” I hear a sound happening next to me. It was Hayuri..
"why are you standing up?"
"I think it should be like that?"
Yongwan frowned as he looked at Hayuri who stood up when Leon came. It's not just glass. The president of the association also did not sit down and stood next to Leon as if he had died suddenly..
Yongwan is the only one sitting here..
-Don't stand up?
Everyone's eyes turned to Yongwan. No, why, what? That guy was a king in this world, but is he a king here too??
-I really can't stand up?
Yongwan couldn’t stand it for less than 10 seconds and stood up. Only after he got up did Leon open his mouth..
"report."
The attitude of treating people as if they were subordinates is astounding, but there is no one who can tackle them..
"Yes, Your Majesty. Around 11pm last evening. We observed the magic of the Gate on the East Coast."
The president of the association personally presented the data as if he was reporting to a superior and pointed out a map of the east coast..
"It's 8km south of Ulleungdo. It is completely in the sea and borders Japan's maritime waters.."
And this is cross-information observed by the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force and the US fleet, so it is certain that there is a gate in the sea..
"If you're at sea, shouldn't you just go out to sea and attack? Are you saying I had to send my luggage away because I couldn't even take care of the trees in my garden?."
"I apologize, Your Majesty. It's a shame, but it's difficult to even reach the gate, let alone conquer it.."
The president of the association provided additional weather information..
"A typhoon is approaching. Of course, I'm going to pass through the direction where the gate is located. The typhoon is so strong that only a warship can barely approach it.."
"How to wait for the typhoon to pass?"
"Time is running out. Unlike other gates, Yonggung Gate… The gate that appears in the sea is not only difficult to attack, but also demands quick action.."
However, we have to wait until four days later for the typhoon to pass. This is a risk that is difficult to handle.
If the first raid party fails, the dungeon break may occur before the second raid party is dispatched due to the tight time limit..
And the dungeon break that occurs at sea will lead to a catastrophe, so you must attack it quickly and perfectly..
"I know that you are risking the prestige of the country. However, things like that happened in Cheongju and Jeju Island, and it seems like you think of me as a garden tree for this country.."
"Not at all… ! How could I take your Majesty lightly?."
"If not, what is it? Even in this small country, there are a lot of heroes and heroines of their own, so what is the reason for picking up luggage first?."
Of course, Oh Kang-hyuk was able to conscript other hunters before Leon..
In the case of Dragon Palace Gate, since the association has the right to compulsory conscription, it may be able to mobilize the strongest guilds in the country, such as the Shingeom Guild or the Cheongseong Guild..
Of course, whether these guilds will respond obediently is a separate question..
Lee Yong-wan was excited to see how the president of the association would persuade this difficult man..
"Your Majesty, how can the wealthy people of this small land compare to you? Compared to Your Majesty, most people in this land are no different from ordinary people.."
'No, this guy?!'
But they try to put us down?
"Your Majesty, this is your chance to enhance the honor of the Lionheart King! Please give me the honor of being a true hero.!"
Leon smiled and opened his mouth, as if he didn't like Oh Kang-hyuk's honey-coated tongue..
"Well, good. However, the king's procession is a heavy one. We will have to prepare a suitable tribute.."
"Is there anything you wish for??"
Association President Oh Kang-hyuk glanced at Leon. If this survivor wants something, we will support it as much as possible, but it is also important to understand what the survivor wants..
"A king does not count his coins. For detailed discussion, see Lord Spinner.."
"Mmm……."
Naturally, I presented an empty check. Oh Kang-hyuk said with a bitter smile, “It’s not easy.”.
* * * *
Leon's attack on the Donghae Gate has been decided..
Although Leon had conquered numerous gates, this was his first time encountering a special situation like the Dragon Palace Gate..
An attack force is drawn from Korea, Japan, and the United States, and even warships are mobilized..
Since only a limited number of people could enter each guild, Leon looked closely and counted the number of participants..
"This attack will be conducted on a small scale due to the nature of the gate. From now on, let those whose names are called come out one by one.."
Yacht Spinner is the first to be called, and Yacht Spinner, who shows all-round response in any situation, is the top priority..
Next were Han Su-ho and Kim Jae-hyuk. Since he is a pilgrim, it is natural that he was called..
Next, the names of the cadets, including new cadet Koo Dae-seong, were called. There are a total of ten knight cadets. And 20 people are called at Men at Arms..
"huh?"
Hari and Soyeon were the first to have doubts. Hari raised his hand..
"I… your majesty. Among the people named, there is not a single ‘woman’.?"
Is it really gender discrimination? Ah, Hari realized that even though Leon seemed like an unreasonable discriminator, he was not secretly like that..
Although women are classified into ladies and women, there is no one who would discriminate between men and women in this type of attack force formation.──
"If you put a woman on a boat, it is considered unclean.."
"????"
It was an extremely discriminatory reason..
