Chapter 227
Chapter 227 Fall of the Empire (4)
The sixth mission to recapture the Dragonborn peacefully.
While fighting a fierce war for the survival of the empire in the eastern part of the continent, Dex was spending a leisurely time staying in the Maroon Kingdom.
[I caught a foil minnow.]

“Hmm..... As expected, fishing is a skill that boasts extreme efficiency wherever it goes. The rate of increase over time is too low.”
Jaeyoung has been enjoying fishing for over a week now. There were many miscellaneous fish and items he caught while fishing all day, but his fishing skill had only reached D rank.
“Hey master. How long are you planning to stay like this?”
It is hard to see a person who can be said to be the starting point and the main cause of this situation. Tan shouted with a face full of displeasure as he saw him spending time leisurely in the turbulent world, as if he were in the middle of the sky.
“Right now, the eastern part of the continent is in complete uproar! War is going on almost everywhere and bloody fights are going on, so are you going to waste your time doing nothing here?”
Jae-young, who shouts chaos destruction and destruction, rushes to the battlefield and wipes out the enemies, but even if it is not enough, Jae-young is focusing on catching fish, which is worse than doing nothing. He shrugged his shoulders at Tan's words and spoke as if talking to others.
“Didn’t I tell you last time? We will resolve this issue peacefully.”
“no! So why the hell would you do that! The master wasn't originally that kind of person!”
Tan has been by Jae-young's side and watched his play more closely than anyone else. That's why he knew better than anyone else that Jaeyoung's behavior was strange.
“If it were like the original owner, it wouldn't be enough to run to break the heads of the Harmel Empire and GM's upper ranks right away and overthrow them all, so why are you suddenly trying to resolve this issue peacefully? Did that damn chicken say something else without me knowing?”
Just in case, Tan glared at L with a grim face and questioned him. But to his question, El responded with a more cynical face than ever before.
“What is he saying now? You stupid baby bat.”
“Right! Does it make sense for our master to just change like that? He is more vicious and evil than anyone else, and he is a human without blood or tears. You are a human being who exists to feed humans, but does it seem normal to do nothing and stay still like that?”
A remark that allows you to get a glimpse of Tan's thoughts on how he usually looks at Jaeyoung. At those words, Jaeyoung glared at Tan with an absurd look, then muttered while lowering the fishing rod.
“It’s not like that, so don’t keep talking about it. I can't help it because of the mission.”
A quest exclusive to the Bard of Anarchy and a major source of probabilities. So, from Jaeyoung's point of view, whether he likes or dislikes the contents of the mission, if possible, he has been semi-forced to play accordingly, so even if he went to the Harmel Empire right now, there was nothing he could do. However, Tan and L, who did not know much about the mission, tilted their heads.
“mission....? what is that?”
“Even before the owner, whenever he did something, he said a mission mission to himself, but what the hell is that?”
Tan and L show reactions that do not properly understand the contents of the game system. Looking at the reaction of the two, Jaeyoung thought about how to explain it, and then said.
“Hmm... Can I say it’s similar to the mission you guys are talking about?”
“What?”
“mission....? crazy! Did the owner have anything like that?”
Tan and L react violently in shock at Jaeyoung's explanation. However, Jaeyoung was so calmly holding on to the fishing rod that had been bitten again and wrestling with the fish.
“What are you so surprised about?”
Jaeyoung talks like it's not a big deal. But unlike him, Tan and L's expressions were more serious than ever.
“of course. There's no way there's such a thing as a mission for mere humans.”
“A mission only exists for beings who have the power and divinity directly bestowed on them by their father. Among human beings, it is impossible unless it is someone like the pope or saint, but how can it be...”
Mission (使命).
It belongs to transcendent beings endowed with enormous power and divinity from birth. Tan and El muttered as if they finally understood everything, knowing that Jaeyoung, who calmly fishes, also had this, which is their reason for existence, their role, and also a powerful fetter.
“As expected... Dex-sama was no ordinary human being.”
“Is that why I was brought here with the appearance of an imp? Somehow, it wasn’t time for me to make a forced contract, but something was strange.”
The two of them roughly understand that the creator's will is involved. As he took care of the fish he had just caught, Jaeyoung said in an annoyed tone.
“Then stop complaining. I didn't open my hands to those damn perverts because I wanted to.”
Dex hates and hates deck fans more than anyone else.
It was his honest feeling that he wanted to gather them all together and burn them without a trace, so if it wasn't for this mission, there was no way Jae-young would attract everyone's attention and let them shine brilliantly in the first place.
[Kiaaaaang!!! Let's flutter the black panties! Comrades!]
A video of deck fans waving their black panties and screaming madly after occupying a fortress in the Harmel Empire. I still feel dizzy when I imagine that this is a real-time hot topic video on the Arfandia main page and that billions of people around the world are watching it.
“Ha... did you really open your hands to the worthless guys...?”
Even thinking about it now, Dex feels regret at the thought of touching people he shouldn't have touched. Tan asked with curious eyes whether he knew his feelings or not.
“Wait a minute... So what is the owner’s mission?”
“uh? My mission?”
“ok. What exactly is the role the master has been given in Arcadia?”
When Tan asked what his role was in this game, Jaeyoung, who had never thought deeply about his role in detail, was lost in thought for a moment.
Creator of Arcadia.
The existence that Tan and El call father would be a divine being that everyone respects, but it was different for Jae-young, who knew that this whole world was an illusion made of virtual data.
Just one human being living on this earth no different from other people.
And he whispered while making Jae-yeong a job changer through a hidden quest.
[Please do your best in the future. Just like I am doing now.]
The voice that had been heard in the voice of a playful child, as if sincerely looking forward to it.
And after that, Jae-young, who looked back on the things that happened while playing as a wanderer in the turbulent world, finally realized what his mission was.
“Kkaengpan.....”
“Huh? What did the master just say?”
“yes....?”
Tan and L ask with expressions as if what they heard is correct. To those two, Jaeyoung once again clearly told them about the mission given to them by the so-called Creator.
“It’s my mission to work hard and do my best to play the game.”
“.....”
“...?”
Tan and L put question marks on their faces with indescribable expressions. Then he turned around and shouted at Jaeyoung, who was fishing as if he had made a promise.
“What kind of mission is that!”
* * *
The Harmel Empire, which reigned as the ruler of the continent for hundreds of years after conquering all the numerous powers scattered in eastern Arcadia, was born.
Uninvited guests, whom they did not want, began to walk proudly into the Hwangseong, the heart of an honorable empire and a glorious place built more luxuriously and splendidly than any other kingdom.
Representative of the 5 Great Magic Towers and Chairman of the Supreme Magic Council, Gallia, the lord of the Blue Magic Tower.
‘What color are Dex's panties?' Arthur, the master of the guild and the guardian of the black panties.
Duke Gilders, the greatest sword of the Bamal Empire and the commander in command of all the Bamal Empire forces.
The allied forces wiped out all of the Harmel Empire forces and arrived at the place where the capital was in front of their eyes. Horrified at the speed of their unstoppable advance, the Harmel Empire eventually had no choice but to raise a white flag. Peace negotiations concluded so dramatically. It was none other than Duke Myers, the chancellor of the Harmel Empire, who greeted the three who came to the imperial castle of the Harmel Empire for this peace negotiation.
“His Majesty the Emperor is waiting for you.”
Duke Myers, who had been waiting nervously for a long time, could not hide his nervousness in front of the door. As he cautiously started guiding them somewhere, Gallia muttered in surprise.
“I didn't know that the emperor would come out himself. Wasn't the condition serious?”
“...It's not a problem that can be solved without direct intervention.”
Following Duke Myers, who spared his words, the three of them arrive at an antique meeting room. They had already arrived and saw the haggard emperor of the Harmel Empire sitting in their seats, and swallowed their silence.
‘Umm..... It's more serious than I thought.' ‘
It's a complete
skeleton...'
The emperor of the Harmel Empire, whose death seemed already upon him just by looking at it. Shocked by the fact that the existence of the empire was endangered by this incident, his condition had changed to a much more critical condition.
While each of them was organizing their thoughts in their heads, the emperor of the Harmel Empire spoke first.
“First of all... I personally apologize to everyone who has been harmed by the Harmel Empire's war. Obsessed with the vain desires of my children, too many people have shed blood because of their wrong decisions.”
An unusual situation in which the iron-blooded emperor, who ruled the entire empire with ruthless charisma, personally handed over an apology. Under normal circumstances, this would never have happened, but this was infinitely insufficient to calm the Mage Tower's wrath.
“Do you think an apology like that will make this all happen?”
Gallia growled with eyes full of rage and murder. The emperor nodded at his question.
“Of course, that doesn’t mean that the precious people of the Mage Tower killed by the Empire will come back alive.”
“.....”
Gallia was silent at those words. The emperor asked him first.
“I know that the 5th Mage Tower wants bloody revenge. How can I quench that anger even a little bit? If I can put my life to rest, I will gladly offer it to you.”
“...?!”
“yes....?”
“.....”
The emperor of the Harmel Empire said he was willing to give up even his own life. When everyone was making faces of astonishment at his words, Duke Myers also shouted in fright, as if this was an unexpected situation.
“Your Majesty! What the heck does that mean...”
But the emperor did not care at all about the reaction of those around him and spoke again.
“Anyway, it’s a body that doesn’t have much time left to live. If my life alone can save other people of the Empire, I am willing to do so.”
The emperor of the Harmel Empire, who seemed to have already put everything down. Gaul made an indescribable expression at his reaction. And after a moment of deliberation, he said.
“We do not need your blood for our vengeance. But... I think we need the heads of Prince Dmitri and the nobles who followed him.”
Gallia talks about the disposition of the main people responsible for this incident that brutally killed the wizards of the Mage Tower. Even though his first son was included at the top of his killing department, the emperor nodded without hesitation.
“Don’t let that happen. The Harmel Empire will also cooperate as much as possible in handing over the recruits of those involved.”
“And hand over the stolen dragon bones. We will return it to the original owner.”
“Okay.”
Even after that, there were numerous requests from Gaul and the Duke of Gilders, but the emperor of the Harmel Empire did not say anything about any unreasonable content and accepted it as much as possible. Because he knew better than anyone else that the collapse of this negotiation would mean the end of the Harmel Empire. He did his best to bring this war to an end by giving up flesh and bone.
“What do you guys... want from our empire?”
To some extent, the story between the Mage Tower and the Barmal Empire is coming to an end. However, Arthur, the leader of ‘Deck Fan Dance', sat there silently without saying anything, so the emperor spoke to him first.
“You're not just participating in this war, what do you want from our empire?”
The emperor of the Harmel Empire, who wants to quickly take out the bill for this war. At his words, Arthur spoke more seriously than ever.
“Dex's panties brand.”
“what....?”
“...?”
“...?”
The conference room was engulfed in silence for a moment. Among those who stood still as if time had stopped, Arthur proudly spoke about the industry reward they really wanted, which the 1 million Deck Fan Mu Guild members were shouting unanimously.
“Dex’s panty brand is a requirement for our deck fan club.”
