Chapter 188
Episode 188
‘Did my mom feel like this when I went to the military?’
Goodbye!
Yongyong declared that he would visit the ancient dragons with Raunis. When the time came to say goodbye, I was worried, but I decided to trust Yongyong’s friendliness. Excitedly, X held the hardened leaf of the World Tree in his hand.
“Let’s do our best together, Yongyong.”
“Kyuu kyuu.”
I will become strong for my weak master.
Let’s do better next time we meet!
In fact, Yongyong’s condition could be checked through the stat window. If there is an emergency, an alert will sound and you can cancel the summons, so you don’t have to worry. X finally strengthened his will.
‘No matter what we do, we have to organize the rest of the area, right?’
X decided to conquer the rest of the disconnected continent except the Dragon’s Nest until they were reunited. I need to do that much so that the grown Yongyong will have something to show off.
“Then let’s go first.”
“Okay, don’t worry, just come back.”
“Yongyong, I miss you, don’t cry.”
“What? “Kyuut!”
Bubi Bubi Yongyong rubbed his face against my cheek. Now that the greetings are over, it’s time to part ways for a while to pursue our own goals.
As soon as Launis activated the magic, leaves wrapped around X’s body.
*
A loud voice pierces my ears.
“I’m selling a handmade vitality potion for 3 gold! “It may look a bit small, but the effect is amazing!”
“I’m looking for a tanker to join the party hunting in the third desert. All you have to do is reach level 1.5 million! “With only two healers, we can hunt safely!”
“Adventurers, this opportunity doesn’t come every day. “They tell me to go and have a look.”
The voices of numerous users and NPCs are heard mixed together. Such large-scale cities are one of the few on the Arba continent. X opened his eyes and let out a small sigh.
“Even if it’s not big, it’ll be 100 million.”
Arba, the world’s largest city!
The number of users alone must be tens of millions, so the figure of 100 million was not an exaggeration. After becoming a lord, I became really interested in the size of the city.
X, wearing a purple cone hat for camouflage, stuck out his tongue.
‘How much is this even if taxes are collected only at the average amount?’
It seemed like a building could be built in reality just with the taxes coming in each day.
X shook off the random thoughts that came to mind. Territories and taxes were great, but there was work to do right now.
“Let me see.”
X’s eyes shine beneath the conical hat!
X was looking for the magic circle engraved on Arba. Dark patterns that naturally come into view without having to look for them. It was a long line connecting building after building.
‘They’re really advertising for people to look at it.’
White Mask had nothing to lose, whether or not he would be caught in a trap.
If you get caught, you can just treat the enemy that gets in your way as treason to the state, and if you don’t get caught, you can just activate the Brand of Destruction.
However, the problem was that he ‘underestimated’ his opponent.
X, who was looking around, made his decision.
“Well, I guess once is enough.”
All it takes is a snap of a finger.
With a confident smile, X started looking for a suitable location. Now that I had made a decision, I wanted to put it into action quickly. Because even at this very moment, time was passing by.
‘I have to stop by Xernis, visit Ulric, and run diligently so as not to fall behind Yongyong, who has turned back to the Severed Continent.’
There is so much to do, but so much!
So, I didn’t want to be held back by someone else or a worshiper.
The only high place is the castle wall. That was when X raised his head and looked at the guards.
“huh?”
A quite familiar back figure caught my eye. Between the wizard guild building where I learned basic magic and the building next to it, I saw Rounds, a man lying face down, absorbed in something.
X stopped.
‘Shall we learn some intermediate magic?’
Unless you are a wizard class, you receive a penalty from the moment you learn skills above the basic level.
The amount of mana consumed increases, power decreases, and proficiency does not easily increase. But isn’t magic its own thing?
‘I think my quality of life will improve just by learning how to teleport.’
I eat it all by myself anyway.
There was no need for large-scale teleportation for X. Even though it consumed a lot of mana, it didn’t matter if it was lightly ignored thanks to the massive mana tank. X approached Rounds’ side.
“!”
For a moment, X had no choice but to stop. What Rounds was looking at with rapt attention was the stigma of destruction in the magic circle.
Since it was a situation where no one could be easily trusted, suspicion could not be alleviated even if one knew each other. X asked.
“What are you doing now?”
“Hee hee!! I didn’t do anything… Mr. X?!”
“You recognized it right away.”
“sure! “I’ve been waiting ever since that day!”
My face, which had been pale, regained its color in an instant.
Seeing that he is so surprised, he must have done something related to the magic circle.
X, who was taken to Rounds’ office, was able to hear the story about him.
“Hehe, if you’re curious, I have no choice but to tell you. Of course, this is not something you can say to just anyone. “I can trust you, Mr. X.”
“Even after seeing this, my mouth feels heavy. So what were you doing?”
“Actually, I was studying the structure of magic circles.”
“Research?”
Rounds’ subsequent story was enough to make X’s ears perk up.
Rounds had been suspicious ever since the white mask carved the magic circle.
“At first, I was suspicious that I had revealed too much of my secrets that should have been hidden from my enemies, or that there might have been some other meaning behind it.”
That suspicion deepened as I studied the structure of the magic circle.
Although Rounds, an ordinary wizard, could not recognize the Brand of Destruction, he was able to discover another magic hidden within it.
Rounds lowered his voice and spoke privately.
“Even if I passed over the design that I couldn’t recognize as an Eastern spell, it would be difficult to say that the recognizable structure was for deploying a shield.”
“Then what was that magic circle for?”
“Space movement.”
“…!”
“It was an advanced magic circle that could move the area itself.”
Another magic circle hidden by the worshiper in the stigma of destruction is for space movement.
why? To be honest, I had no idea. Rounds also seemed frustrated.
“I guessed that if the enemies attack, they will warp the entire Arba to another area. But that’s impossible even for an archmage. To say that, the structure of the magic circle was simple enough to just move the building.”
“If that was the plan, there would have been no need to hide it.”
“That’s exactly what I’m saying.”
It’s a magic circle for instantaneous movement.
No matter how much I racked my brain, I couldn’t guess its purpose right now.
But what needs to be done hasn’t changed since before. Suddenly X asked.
“Oh, do you also sell teleportation skill books?”
“yes? “Yes, of course.”
“I will buy it.”
Shashak! X immediately opened the skill book and learned teleportation.
Rounds wanted to talk more about magic with X, whom he had met for the first time in a while, but X got up without hesitation.
“I’ll stop by again next time.”
“I will be waiting. “The robe and cone hat look great on you!”
“really?”
I thought it was a compliment to say that the purple cone hat went well with the robe that was almost like a mat. Still, since we obtained valuable information, shouldn’t we at least exercise caution?
Sighing, X raised his eyebrows at Rounds.
“Don’t panic if there is water in a dry sky.”
“yes?”
It didn’t take long for Rounds, who tilted his head, to understand what he was saying.
*
“Ugh. “I almost died.”
“The judgment upon return was good. It’s the truth.”
“Haha, I think I need to eat something first.”
Munch Baekjun returned to Arba exhausted along with his party members.
Even though my level was low, I was recognized for my growth potential and joined a large guild. That was fine, but the problem started now.
“Even if you only hunt for half a day, you come to the point of death several times, and the rankers who overcome that hardship and rise up the ranks are true monsters?”
“Iknow, right. This means that you keep repeating this difficult hunting without taking a break. “Isn’t it admirable at times like this?”
“Stop talking. “Recovery is slow.”
Baekjun and Jinri quickly shut their mouths. My vitality was so close to the bottom that it seemed like it would take quite some time to fully recover.
The three stopped by a nearby bar to soothe their burning throats.
“Wow, I think I’m finally going to live a bit.”
“I’m glad though. “Avoid the penalty.”
“I almost lost all the hard work I put in for a month.”
Wise man time came after a lot of hard work.
So to speak, today’s hunt was a failure. If I had gone safely without being greedy, I would have been able to hunt for one more day.
“Who knew that a named mob would pop up there?”
“Let’s use it as an experience.”
“Thank you everyone for understanding.”
While Baekjun was looking for a better position, he ended up in a state of complete despair. Still, I was fortunate to have like-minded team members who understood me.
Baekjun relaxed and looked around.
“Anyway, that really ruins the aesthetics.”
“A magic circle?”
“Yes, it also looks unfavorable. “Like that white mask.”
Among users, the Arba Palace shaman was famous for being an unpleasant being.
It was a strange outfit to hear, with fancy silk clothes and a plain white mask.
But Baekjun knew that his outfit was even more bizarre than that.
“…what?”
For a moment, I thought I had seen something wrong.
A fear that is deeply engraved in our minds! On the high castle wall, I could see the purple cone hat that I had seen at the Black Rose Farm in the past. It’s a fashion sense that surprises me even when I look at it again.
Baekjun rubbed his eyes. As if that wasn’t enough, I asked Jinri, who was also there.
“Jinri, do you see that too?”
“yes? What?”
“That purple cone hat over there.”
“uh?!”
Looking at the white face, it was not in vain. That was the cold-blooded man who had been hunting the Black Rose Farm all day long. So I couldn’t help but wonder.
“What is that person doing over there?”
“I don’t know. “There’s nothing good about being involved with that crazy person.”
“Still, I’m curious.”
Baekjun, who was trying to look away, also slowly stopped his head. Although it was a purple cone hat without blood or tears, its skills were amazing.
I wondered what purpose such a high-level user climbed up onto the castle wall for.
And I soon found out. Jinri stuttered.
“That person is preparing magic? “It’s also incredibly huge?!”
“Is that real?”
“No matter how you look at it, you say he’s crazy, right?”
Goooooh.
Huge mana swaying around the purple cone hat! No matter how bad you are, it is a large-scale magic.
The guy was preparing to throw a large spell at Arba. Because Baekjun knew his abilities, he hurriedly shouted.
“Guys, I don’t know what’s going on, but if you get caught up, there’s no point in living.”
“I’ll see you all alive.”
“You talk too much, which is a problem, at a time like this…!”
But as the last said, it was too late for the three of them.
Shuoooo!
A green blanket covers Arba. It was a huge tsunami that completely blocked the sun’s light.
A player can use magic on this scale? Even the famous resourcer can’t use this kind of magic.
The common sense I knew about Fate was shaking. Baekjun gritted his teeth.
‘Anyway, I knew who the culprit was.’
Purple cone hat!
If you use magic like this on Arba, it’s clear that he will be reborn as the worst villain overnight. Considering the bounty on his head, I could risk at least one death.
Tight! A tsunami is getting closer and closer.
Everyone in Arba closed their eyes.
but.
“…huh?”
Everyone was fine.
Not only did no one suffer any damage, but their bodies were overflowing with vitality. It wasn’t just the body.
The flowers on display on the streets bloomed even more, and the fruits became shiny and dewy!
“What on earth was that? “What did you just do?”
Baekjun spoke, but no one could answer.
Baekjun looked around to see if everyone had seen something wrong. But that huge tsunami was not an illusion.
Unlike before, the streets are overflowing with vitality.
And it looked so bizarre that it ruined its aesthetics.
“It’s gone.”
Because the magic circle disappeared like a feeling.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
