The Player Hides His Past

Episode 497 Noble Ones (2)

AAU Korea Branch.

“what.”

Branch leader Park Min-jae’s eyebrows twitched.

No, this person is not the type of person to say something unbecoming.

What is this all of a sudden?

Gaon Building became their guild house?

“…Are you making fun of the salaried worker?”

Well, I heard the news a while ago.

Did you say that Gaon purchased the entire 50-story building?

The size of the body has increased nearly three times due to the large alliance.

It was an understandable expansion of power.

“I’m jealous of that. Even from here, it looks very grand.”

The moment when Park Min-jae mumbled to himself bluntly.

This time the phone rang.

Park Min-jae’s complexion changes suddenly as soon as a few words are exchanged.

“Is that true? Even system messages?!”

The guild house in the text was no ordinary guild house.

So, I can see it through the window now.

It meant that the Arcana system was being applied to that Gaon building!

even.

“The siege has begun. “Just give me a moment and I’ll write it all down!”

It was the moment when Park Min-jae left a note with a ballpoint pen.

Crash!

This time, the door to the branch manager’s office opened.

“What is everyone doing all of a sudden?”

“Branch Manager Ji! “Emergency update has appeared!”

“Emergency update? Cheol-min, wait a minute!”

In the update, Park Min-jae clenched his fist without realizing it.

──────

Seoul, the land of wonders, is coming to your side.

From now on, the colors of the Arcana will be added to Seoul.

From now on, all guild systems will be activated…

──────

That is exactly what happened, Rayman Sean.

I only read three lines.

Park Min-jae’s voice calmed down and he regained his composure.

“I don’t know if you know, Cheolmin. An emergency update was released a little while ago. It is said that the colors of the Arcana were added to Seoul, and the entire guild system was activated due to that effect.”

-It’s all guild systems… I understand.

“Yes. “There are many guild branches in Seoul.”

If we only look at the qualifications of the analyst.

Nam Cheol-min is counted on one finger all over the world.

When he pretended, he understood what was being said.

-Because the rules of the vast Arcana continent apply, Seoul is very cramped. This probably means that so many guild houses cannot exist in one area.

Park Min-jae nodded.

“This is embarrassing.”

Guilds that maintained peace in their own way under the Allied Forces of the Crusade. However, this emergency update seemed to blatantly encourage the collapse of those guilds.

even.

“It appears that not only players are involved in this case.”

Branch manager hotline.

The virtual meeting room, which would normally have rang dozens or hundreds of times, was quiet. What that meant was simple. This means that AAU branches and countries around the world have complicated thoughts regarding the rapidly changing Seoul.

“…Rayman Shen.”

I knew it wasn’t his doing. It wasn’t a regular update, it was just that the Arcana Continent’s influence had seeped into reality a little more deeply in accordance with nature.

however.

‘You look happy even in the update details.’

It was the moment when Park Min-jae was looking through the update details with a disapproving gaze.

Wait a minute….

There was a line of patch details that suddenly caught my eye.

──────

From now on, all territory systems will be activated.

──────

…Activation of all territory systems?

“this.”

The impact was well predictable. This is because in reality, there are lands where the Arcana territory system is effective. Frost Yusra Kingdom Holy Land Muon etc.

Park Min-jae is shocked.

“Wait a minute, then our AAU…?”

Park Min-jae’s guess was accurate.

Information passed down through players outside.

Park Min-jae looked at the smartphone handed out by his subordinate.

-Is this a true story?? I’m not looking at nonsense, am I?

-Does an entry message appear even if you just enter a convenience store?

-What is it? So, from now on, convenience stores will also be selling items?

-Oh, I guess that’s not true;;;

-ㅁㅊ So then there will be a permanent residence in Seoul?

“…!”

permanent residence.

There was a high possibility of it being activated.

No, it was strange that it didn’t work.

Sweat suddenly welling up from the pores of the entire body.

It was because an ominous imagination came to mind.

‘…In Arcana, everything changes with a single word from the lord.’

A time when Arcana was just a game.

Why did players risk their lives on territory?

This was because becoming a lord would allow one to enjoy great power. From taxes to punishment and even military call-up. Because the words spoken by the lord soon became law in the territory.

‘If the player becomes the lord of Seoul.’

This means that 10 million Seoul citizens will be influenced by a single word of the player. That would include our AAU Korean branch. Nam Cheol-min, who was quietly listening to Park Min-jae’s voice, answered.

-You must have imagined it, right, Director Park?

“…Could it be that Mr. Cheolmin guessed it too?”

-It was sudden, but I was prepared.

Park Min-jae was shocked.

‘Should I be relieved about this? No, I don’t know yet.’

Nam Cheol-min.

I knew very well that he was not an opportunistic person, but the situation was the situation. Park Min-jae maintained vigilance as the branch leader. Nevertheless, I was once again shocked by the words that followed.

-I was worried from the moment Seoul became a land of strangeness. We discussed it together. And thanks to this, we were able to come up with the only way to resolve this situation.

…Gulp.

“Do you mind if I ask you a question?”

The moment Park Min-jae swallows dry saliva, the answer continues.

“yes yes?! He claimed to be the master of Seoul…!!”

I was embarrassed for a moment.

After overhearing Park Min-jae’s words.

AAU employees whispering among themselves.

“You are the owner of West Seoul?”

“who? Since it’s Nam Cheol-min, is it your younger brother Nam Tae-min?”

“No, I’m a little nervous about entrusting our lives to you…!”

Park Min-jae calmed down and covered his mouth with his hand.

‘…Right.’

I feel like the sweat that was running down my spine has cooled off.

Nam Cheol-min’s arm, which was also not bent, was properly bent.

Park Min-jae’s relief at this moment.

What I can think of at this point.

It was thanks to encountering the best method.

After finally catching his breath, Park Min-jae opened his mouth.

“We will also participate in the plan of becoming the owner of Seoul.”

*

Following strict procedures.

Only after I finished mourning for Yugweed was I able to slowly reflect on the cause of the situation. Well, depending on the circumstances, the time commitment may be broken.

‘But it’s a bit strange that everyone is not attending.’

Clearly something happened.

With that thought in mind, Kii’s quest… So, I check my smartphone. Then it appeared. Dozens of messages and new emergency updates emerged.

I expressed my feelings calmly.

“It is the color of the Arcana continent.”

Truly the brain of a huge union.

Things are going as Nam Cheol-min expected. But I didn’t know it would be this serious. I chanted to those guarding the memorial space.

“Yugweed, I finally know how you feel.”

The Gran Fell style of speaking becomes more difficult every day.

I wish I could say that.

Maybe even Marcelo tilted his head because he couldn’t understand it right away?

Of course, there was no additional explanation.

I added this again in the Granfell style.

“The Magic Tower will no longer have to stand alone in solitude.”

“…!”

Then Marcelo’s eyes lit up.

“seoul. There has been a change in this city of adventurers, sir.”

…How did you understand this, Marcelo?

I came to the conclusion about Granfell on my own.

Because the Magic Tower of the Arcana Continent, standing alone in reality, looked lonely. For such a magic tower, Yugweed overlaid the colors of the Arcana Continent onto reality.

If you wear it on your ear, it is called an earring. If you wear it on your nose, it is called a nose ring.

It was something I roughly interpreted and put together…

but I answered shamelessly.

“Yes.”

Anyway, thank you Marcelo.

Thanks to you, I can get straight to the point. I declared to Marcelo, the senior wizard, and the allied crusade forces from the Arcana continent.

“The rules of Arcana are in effect in this land of Seoul.”

“…!!!”

“in other words.”

I summarized the main points in one line.

“It means that whoever becomes the owner of Seoul controls everything in Seoul.”

Now, let’s take a quick look, Hoyeol.

‘I have to let it out slowly.’

I made a declaration that I would become the owner of Seoul, which was absolutely presumptuous just to hear it…! I am Lee Ho-yeol. In situations like this, I had no choice but to rationalize as much as possible.

‘…I really don’t want to admit it.’

There is no one I can entrust in charge of Seoul to other than Granfell. There were trustworthy allies like Marcelo and Harkon, but that was only a story from the Arcana continent.

Entrusting Seoul to me is literally a different world.

‘I was telling you yesterday, but I noticed you.’

At best, the situation is different from yesterday, when I said it in front of my parents, younger sister, and brother Nam. All the big names flying around the Arcana Continent are waiting for my lips to fall.

Is that why?

Even if you don’t, dress neatly.

It will be refined again.

Finally, take a breath…

“Please forgive me sir.”

…Eh?

‘I haven’t said anything yet.’

Suddenly, Marcelo lowers his head.

It’s even to the point of interpreting the Granfell style of speaking.

Does this mean that you can now predict what I will say?

Is that why you rejected it early on?

Anyway, hasn’t even the owner of Seoul crossed the line…?

This was the moment when Lee Ho-yeol’s ax soldier was defeated.

“Our weakness forces us to rely on you.”

…What was that?

‘I was thinking completely wrong.’

Yes.

I just got lucky, but everyone seemed to have guessed it. Those who bow their heads to me, led by Marcelo. I spoke to them without hesitation.

“Current weakness is not a problem.”

“…?”

“The important thing is the upright pride to move forward.”

How come a horse has bones, Granfell? Everyone may have their own reasons, but in any case, this is a remark directed at those who did not attend Yugweed’s funeral. I muttered to myself.

‘Please be careful with your rear end, Granfell.’

As Brother Nam said.

Player cooperation is important?!

Gran Fell, where I was clearly upset.

It was a moment of subtle conciliation.

“sorry!!”

A large silhouette enters with a loud voice.

“I was late due to some circumstances.”

Nam Taemin.

And Hisagi Leoni.

It was a huge union.

The three guild masters of the great alliance even wore matching black outfits and even laid flowers for Yugweed. As I was looking at them, the contents of the text message belatedly passed by.

‘…Didn’t you say that a competitive quest has begun?’

I thought I saw a text message from Nam Cheol-min saying that he was trapped in the guild house as the siege began…? By the way, our Grandfell seemed to have grown a little more mature.

“It must not have been an easy road.”

I also know how to greet you warmly.

Well, what does the appointment time matter?

The feeling of mourning for Yugweed is important.

Nam Taemin answered awkwardly.

“Honestly, it wasn’t easy, Commander.”

When you see Nam Taemin saying things like this, there must be something going on. I listened to him in silence. And then I was inwardly shocked…!

‘No, no matter what, that’s true.’

Guild House.

So, that magnificent Gaon Building.

You came here with the determination to give up that…?!

‘Even real guild members have come.’

They say they left the guild house literally empty.

And what if the opposing guild invades the building?

Why is it even the Bohemian Guild closest to the Gaon Building?

It had a force that could not be overlooked.

‘How much is land in Seoul?’

Elder wizard Yugweed.

I guess this is it.

You may be receiving the most expensive condolence payment in the world…?

‘Anyway, if only I had been a little less strict about the time commitment.’

It was a moment when I felt a bit guilty.

Apparently, this wasn’t the end.

To be exact, it seemed like it was just the beginning.

“Excuse me.”

Does this mean that even tigers appear when they say something?

Eventually, it appeared.

Bohemian Guild Master Guyver.

After him.

Ranking guild masters who established branches in Seoul appeared at the Magic Tower one after another. Named players, including Jesse Heinness, could not be left out.

What that meant was simple.

Guild masters with a branch in Seoul.

Thanks to everyone who came to the Magic Tower with the intention of giving up on the guild house.

Competitive Quest.

The siege had not even begun.

“I saw you again, Mr. Guyver.”

“Who cares what to say, Hisagi.”

“Both of you, don’t make a fuss and say hello properly first.”

As a bonus, we were able to confirm each other’s pride.

“Are you looking, Elder Wizard Yugweed?”

The evaluation of Gran Fell falls through my lips.

“It is truly a noble sight.”

*

Camilla spoke beyond the tightly closed door.

“Then I’ll go to the Magic Tower too. Rox.”

“I’m sorry.”

“huh.”

Hereby.

It’s already been four days.

Camilla couldn’t see Rox’s face again today.
