I can see the Emperor's stats-Chapter 58
new quest
As soon as he saw the dropped note, Julius felt like he was awakened.
'I forgot about it for a while because my achievements as a soldier went up.'
The place he should most question is to find out why player Lee Cheong-mun's secret secret was found in this distant northern mountain range.
“Noah! Could you wait there for a moment?”
Julius opened the note and started reading through the automatic translation of the Help.
[To those who are related... I am Baekwei, one of the heads of the Golden Army of the Hwan Empire. At the same time, he is also the head of the White Tiger Corps, which has been in charge of guarding the imperial family for generations.]
'Hwan Empire?'
Julius couldn't hide his curiosity. Speaking of the Hwan Empire, it was one of the only giant countries in both continents that received the title of Empire along with the Sharnos Empire!
However, a person who was said to be in charge of escorting the imperial family came all the way here and was found with a cold body. I can't help but wonder about this.
[I don't know what the main job is doing. If they had a movement like this, they should have found out right away.]
Julius nodded while reading the letter.
'It seems that two of King Manbyeong's legacy were in the imperial family of the Hwan Empire.'
According to the letter, two of Lee Cheong-mun's legacies, which there are called all kinds of military affairs, were owned by two groups that guarded the imperial family.
One of them is the White Tiger Self Defense Machine that Julius got today! Unmanned soldiers who have mastered this secret technique have extremely developed senses and have strong self-defense equipment, so they are optimal for guarding factors.
Therefore, Geumgun's Baekhodan, which inherited the Baekho self-defense flag, could be said to be a group that took on the role of guardian.
Conversely, the name of another Mumun belonging to the imperial family is Jujak Mumun!
Because it is a special secret that cannot be read except by the Emperor of the Hwan, the name of the specific secret is unknown, but I knew that it was a martial arts specialized in infiltration and assassination.
Therefore, Wumun Zhou was in charge of the head of the intelligence group directly under the imperial family, and Wumun Yang was a symbol of the power of the Huan imperial family, in charge of the emperor's right and left arms.
[Someone exists behind the imperial family now. I couldn't catch the exact entity, but judging from the fact that we annihilated the White Tigers, it's not an ordinary force.]
“… … !”

[Main Quest - You have discovered the dark clouds hanging over the Imperial Family.]
[The main quest is a quest related to the player's 'clearing'.]
[Your achievements increase with the unlocking of information about clearing.]
"clear?"
Unknowingly, a sound mixed with vain winds came out of Julius.
[Help - Clear: This is the player's final goal. For more detailed information, you need to increase the achievement level to view it.]
Until now, he had not been able to grasp the existence of a player even though he had benefited from the system.
However, if you solve this main quest, the clues will be solved little by little.
With an excited expression on his face, Julius started reading the note again.
[They wore black masks and were persistent. The costume itself looks like a watering hole, but judging from the martial arts used, it is certain that it is not from this continent. I desperately boarded a ship headed for the West Continent, but the pursuit continued even on the West Continent.]
'Where have you seen these guys?'
As he read the note from this man named Baekwei, Julius felt something uncomfortable.
'Assassin, black mask, isn't he from the East?'
Julius is no fool. Given this much clue, there is only one conclusion!
'Wasn't there a quest by those who asked if it was that church?'
They are the ones who have been terribly harassing him since his previous life, but it feels like something is finally coming into line.
'Desert, Leonhardt, church, fantasy empire... … .'
However, no concrete link has been found so far. That's probably the homework he's going to solve. Before long, the note was running towards his end.
[Fortunately, it seems they can't reach this cold mountain range. But I never thought I'd meet such a young man... … .]
Julius clicked his tongue here.
'He was a very unlucky man. He escaped to this place by luck, and what he met there was Seongcheol Imoogi.
Perhaps, if it had been a desperate run away, it would not have suffered a small number of wounds. It must have been difficult for him to defeat such a spiritual beast alone, even if he was an uncivilized leader with the legacy of a player.
[The injury is so great that now all I have to do is wait for the hour of death. It's just a pity that the legacy left by Emperor Manbyeong is lost here... … .]
He might have been able to live if he had been lucky enough to meet a northern immigrant, but he seems to have died here in the end.
[I earnestly ask you to come in contact with me. Investigate the imperial family of the Hwan Empire. There will still be people who will be on our side in the imperial palace... … .]
The contents of the note ended with that.
Julius couldn't help but get into trouble.
'It's nice to get information about players, but how do I get to the East Continent?'
If you are a merchant or general knight, there is a way. At least, if it was a high-ranking aristocrat, it would be possible even in the name of sightseeing.
But his status is too high for that.
'First of all, since it's a quest, I have to complete it... … .'
“Oh, how long are you going to rest!”
Nuada's grunting voice made Julius stop worrying and get up again.
“I’m sorry. I thought for a while.”
'First of all, getting everything to get from the North is the top priority.'
He had an immediate goal. Wasn't it too late to think about it after he achieved that goal, and didn't he make a big gain today anyway?
By unraveling the thread little by little in this way, one day he will be able to arrive at the truth he desires.
"I'm going to have to dismantle this guy first."
"I'll have to call the warriors."
“I will help too.”
First of all, Julius carefully cuts off the part of his neck that he had torn apart.
'As expected, he's been around for a long time, so he's quite big.'
What he took out of the Imoogi's corpse was a stone about the size of an adult man's fist that glowed golden.
'I expected it from the size of the snake, but it's the first time I've seen an S-class Force Stone.'
Force Stones are sometimes formed naturally, but there are also cases where the Force is condensed from the inside of a spirit that has been around for a very long time.
It seemed that in the East, this was called 'Naedan'.
“Noah! You have the right to this too. How will you distribute it?”
But Nuada doesn't seem interested in that either.
“If that’s what you need, take it. But this guy's torso makes me covet.”
A hero's corpse generally does not rot well.
The strong yet light leather can be used to make armor that is good for activities in the north, and the meat from this large body is also good food for foreigners.
On the other hand, Julius didn't really need anything other than the inner hem of the Imoogi. Because I won't be in the North for long.
Given his status as the prince of the empire, even if the leather was strong, better armor could be obtained at any time.
“Then I am content with just this one. The rest should belong to you, the Rock Clan.”
'This is also quite a windfall.'
Julius gave a satisfied smile.
Nuada, who is in charge of the tribe, understands that the body looks more valuable, but it is because the S-class Force Stone is a treasure that is difficult to obtain on the continent, no matter how much money is paid.
'I don't really need it, but it would be nice to give it to Beatrice or another decent person later.'
Already from the basics, Julius raised his Force aptitude to the limit and started training.
The output of the force was a problem that time could solve, and there is also an overheat that instantly raises the output if you are in a hurry, so it is not something you need right away.
“Then, since the distribution is over, let’s start the disassembly!”
Julius summons the warriors who claim the knights.
"I can't believe such a big spiritual beast exists!"
“Has the ruler of Mt. Songgot really fallen?”
Both sides murmur and are surprised to see the corpse of Seongcheol's serpent.
But even the surprise comes first.
The Imoogi's corpse was skinned and cut into pieces and brought to the village of the Thunder Rock tribe, where a grand festival was held again.
"Finally, we don't have to worry about damage to the village during this guy's rampage!"
“I was worried because he said he was a stranger, but in fact, I wonder if he is a messenger sent by the mountain god?”
Now, the Thunderbolt tribesmen also looked at Julius with gentle respect instead of the first wary gaze.
As I said, strong warriors are the law in the north.
Not only was it not enough to defeat their chieftain, but they also defeated Seongcheol Imoogi, a being that was almost like a disaster from God, so of course you can't help but look at him with eyes full of awe.
There were many variables, but Julius was able to win the trust of Nuada and the northern immigrants this time as well.
The northern knights also seem to have adapted a lot, unlike the initial awkwardness.
"I was taken aback at first because it was monster meat, but it's much more edible than chewing dried meat!"
“As Your Highness said, it seems that barbarians are not all the same barbarians.”
Julius stayed in the village for a few days to hunt the Imoogi, and ordered the knights to help the warriors hunt and dismantle the prey.
In any case, the knights of the north were often from commoners and had easy-going personalities. There doesn't seem to be much difficulty in adapting.
'I got along well in the end in my previous life, but will it be different this time?'
Although there are differences in ethnicity, there are many things in common between the rough northern knights rolling in the field and the warriors of the mountains who train by running through the mountains.
Seeing the knights adapting quickly and getting along with the warriors now, Julius smiled heartily.
'If I do this, there won't be any noise from not being able to work together as an alliance later on!'
'There were a lot of unexpected variables, but in the end I got everything, and in addition, I acquired the legacy of the player.'
From the top of the mountain, Julius looks towards the southern side of the empire.
It is clear that the Archduke was involved in more than half of the unexpected events he experienced in the North.
To be honest, as soon as Julius arrived in the north, the Archduke's ability to shake the foreign tribes and start a northern war was admirable even when he saw it.
'But in this lifetime, I also have a lot of things he doesn't know.'
It is the memory of the previous life and the player's ability! By using these two things well, he was able to overcome this crisis.
Now, his external recognition and ability are incomparable to those of the past. If he returns to the capital, there is a high possibility that he will be involved in a huge political battle that is incomparable to the current one.
'I'll have to prepare for that diligently.'
The northern part was also twisted a lot, but in the end, the big phase made it flow without change. Probably other places too. There are still many memories from the previous life that Julius can use.
In fact, Julius thought that this was the beginning of the real thing.
'grandee! If we go to the capital this time, let's stick together again.'
