Haroon

Plain of Tranquility

It was after three days of game time that I finished my move and entered Beyond again.

The Plain of Tranquility was still peaceful and quiet. In the land of tranquility facing far away, in the narrow plains of tranquility, and in the Irish Mountains, many humans will be bewildered by desire.

Harun decides to master a messenger skill that he hadn't trained until the party arrived.

‘Phew, that's amazing. ’

The amount of Mana coming through the soles of my feet was enormous. An enormous Mana, more than three times faster than the last village you studied in Calpran, comes through the Mana Road by the Mana Flow and heads towards the Mana Ocean.

In the Mana Ocean, a surprisingly large Mana crouches because of the Rough Stones, then swallows up the mana as soon as it enters.

Harun, who was training his messenger skills while walking along the plain in ecstasy, suddenly stopped and sat down to spin the Mana Flow.

Manah, mixed with the fresh air coming in through his nose, stimulates Mana Ocean, and the chunk of Mana, once settled in his consciousness, loosens gradually and rides on the familiar Mana Road.

In the meantime, something strange happened throughout Harun's entire body, focusing on the Mana Flow, forgetting to breathe. Started breathing throughout the body.

The air around him gets sucked into his body and then comes back out again.

The amount of air that was sucked gradually grew. A space of about 10 meters around him was moving as he breathed. It caused the wind to form around the area where there was no wind.

‘It's done. ’

Harun finally succeeded in building Mana by operating Mana Flow with his breath, not through messenger skills, but with pure will. With a steady posture, I was able to easily accumulate many times more Mana than by absorbing and stacking Mana.

At first, Manawa Road felt cramped due to the increasing volume of Mana Road and even pain, but as we continue to focus on Manawa Flow, Manawa Road is getting wider.

Boom! Boom!

In addition to the main Mana Road, which was circling along the midline of the upper torso, the twelve Mana Roads he found felt vivid, and some of them were pierced through the entrance. The small Mana Roads, which had only a tiny hole in the dense Mana movement, were opened.

In addition to the traditional Mana Flow, Harun also tested the Mana Flow, which runs around all twelve Somana Roads. Now that I was able to complete a week in one breath, it took me a long time to distract everyone because of Somana Road, which is still narrow.

The process also penetrated some of the walls of Mana Road. In particular, mana roads to the palms of both hands, which move Mana frequently, were able to break down thick walls and widen the path quite well.

‘You can't get enough of your first drink. ’

This was enough. Harun wakes from his concentration and exhales for a long time before releasing the tablecloth out of his body.

Flash!

Harun's eyes open, glowing like a flash. I felt refreshed and vigorous as if my mind and body had been reborn. But he quickly frowned. He smells terrible.

“Oops!”

The source of the stench was its own body. In addition to the main Mana Road, we ran a large rotating Mana Flow, which directed us to Soma Road, resulting in significant debris escaping out of the body.

Harun stops trying to summon Niah. She absorbed elemental energy from elemental stones and now feels almost human, so it was difficult to ask her to wash her body.

It appears that the piece of armor made by the wealthy Tarim, while still on Kansen's stomach, is almost useless. I had to change into another piece of armor.

“Let's go for a swim, then. ”

Harun takes off all his clothes and dives into the lake. The lake has been drenched red with the sun going down. It was only a practice for almost a day.

Harun didn't even know how to swim because he had only lived within the barrier, but after drinking water a few times and teasing his hands and feet hard, he realized that buoyancy occurs differently as his body and muscles move.

At that moment, his body was able to float with minimal movement. That was the basics of swimming. Then swimming was not so difficult. He had strong strength, so he could swim quickly or in a variety of postures.

Harun, who came out for a moment to relax and washed his defense gear in the water, immediately jumps back into the lake. Swimming naked with the feeling of lake water reminiscent of Nia was an unparalleled pleasure.

Just when the new house is underground on the lake, I thought I should do a hobby of swimming in reality. Due to the high fairy tale rate, you can use the ability you acquired from your body in the game to 7, so swimming will be the same.

Harun, who enjoyed that long swim, came out of the lake. I was about to change my clothes.

“What, what? ”

Suddenly, a slight malignant burst out of Harun's mouth as he saw his naked body reflected in the lake.

“What's with the horns? ”

Surprisingly, there were three small horns on his head that were reflected in the lake. When I touched it with my own hands, it was really horny.

Harun could not accept this phenomenon.

“Am I cursed by Rump Orcs? ”

Harun stands there and keeps touching the horn rising above his head.

I remember a ceremony when Rump Orcs gathered in the Hookran Mountains. Could it be that the mysterious red sphere, which supposedly changed the energy and bodily fluids of the knights and Rump Orcs, had temporarily swallowed its own body?

Come to think of it, there was another strange thing.

Harun could clearly understand the Black Orcs when he encountered them. I didn't have the time or opportunity to think it was very strange at the time, but sometimes it was strange to think about what happened at that time.

What the hell happened to me? ’

I don't know. However, at this point, it is clear that three horns of a finger have appeared on his head, and he is growing remarkably differently from other users.

Are you a monster now? ’

His appearance with three horns was demonic, not human. But I didn't dislike the strange look of it.

‘Well, this should be fine. ’

Users who wear defense gear as a set are rarely seen with their heads on. When I think about it, I never reveal my head after wearing armor, except when I was washing.

‘I don't care if I become a Horseman. ’

Yes, this is just the body in the game, the avatar. Others tried to change their appearance in a more stylish direction, but Harun was not interested in their appearance.

Harun taps his head a few times and changes his clothes after a long time.

The people led by Tino arrived when he was taking some breakfast with bread and water and learning his new skill. Hundreds of slanders and daggers flew exactly where he had set his mind to after repeatedly throwing and retrieving more than ten times.

As the sun was passing by, I finally noticed the people led by Tino. Harun gladly spreads his messenger skills and flies towards them like a bird.

“Commander!”

“Tino, you're all right. ”

I was relieved to see that they were all healthy, even though they were exhausted. I was a little worried because I had been attacked by the Imperial Intelligence Guild several times. I thought it would be okay to have talents like Dylan and Taniella, but I was still breathless in the corner of my heart.

“Captain, can't you see me? ”

It's Henny. He leaps forward, looks at the other person's eyes, looking at him with a shrugged look.

“Well done, Henny. ”

“Hmph. My thighs would be a centimeter thicker walking what I could get on a boat. ”

Seeing Harun who was here in advance, it must have been unfair for him to walk as a vigilante.

“Haha, Henny is pretty and his hair is good, so I don't care if his thighs get thicker. ”

“Heh heh. Tsh! I'm just trying to hit him with a horse. If you don't take me away, will you take me away? ”

I was joking to see if I liked Harun's comfort.

“Hahaha! All right, well. ”

“Oh, I guess it's true. I don't like it.”

“If you don't want to. ”

That way, Hani and Harun greet each other and lead the group to their arrival.

“Nothing much happened. Thanks to you, I'm tired of the lake view. ”

“Well, I'm sick of it. Nature's best hope is that she never gets tired of it. ”

Dylan and Taniella seem to have become very close over the years. The two of them shared a lot of things that didn't make a difference in their years.

There was another change. The relationship between Mobius and Schmidt seems unusual. At first glance, Schmidt seems to have a crush on Mobius. The same prosecutor Dami and his liver also had strange airflow, and Chorn and Lorraine were close to each other at the same age.

Most notably, Tino and Donnes. Although it still strikes, the way Donnes treats Tino looks like she's scratching her husband.

How close you were to Tino, now that you've been treated as a member of the squadron, she doesn't care much about that.

The good thing about traveling is that it makes people intimate.

Those who arrived at Harun's tent prepared a late lunch. I took out the best food I had prepared to celebrate the end of my trip and ate it all together.

Having a cup of Omicha after a meal, Harun organizes the journey.

“We are very fortunate to have arrived here without a major accident. Thank you all for your hard work. ”

“No, thanks to the gale mercenaries, we should be thankful we're here. You've been through a lot. As did the commander, but Tino and Henny's men worked very hard. ”

Having suffered the most in this trip, he paid the balance of the quest fee that he had promised. Shani didn't look so good about what happened on the trip. She looks bitter looking at Federation Schmidt and Mobius, and I'm not sure she likes Mobius either.

“I felt a lot during this trip. I will not forget the gale mercenaries who struggled eastward and westward for our comfort as well as for directions. I hope we can be more comfortable when we meet again. ”

Balt and I have a smile on our faces.

“Thank you, too. Especially since I've been so fond of Henny's brother, and I'm so disappointed that I'm breaking up with him. ”

The reason was that I still hadn't let go of my hand since I was disappointed to break up with Henny who had become very close to me.

“Thanks to our Cleaning Guild as well. If they weren't for dedicated storm troopers, they wouldn't dare come here. As expected, the storm was just as great as the rumors said. ”

Schmidt concludes the deal with a firm grip on Mobius' hand. Maybe she didn't come all the way here for this trip, but felt love for Mobius.

I was envious of his natural sculptural appearance, his gentle, sweet manner and eloquent vocabulary were Möbius, who possessed the magical ability to melt a woman away.

So on the one hand, I was jealous. Harun was also out of ignorance in dealing with reason when he started the game.

‘I don't know if he really loves you. “

Harun turns to Taniella, thinking that if Schmir were someone close to him, he might have stopped him.

“Haha. Rumors are inflated more than kings, but the storm was different. I will never forget the kindness I have taken care of. ”

Taniella, who had already paid for Manasik before departing, soon came to her senses with a view to the land of high silence.

“An hour up the river from here, you'll find your way to the land of tranquility. I looked into it beforehand, but I couldn't find anything particularly dangerous. So when do you want to leave? ”

Harun asks Avan, who has a backpack by mining Shani. I don't know if I know the location of the dungeon.

“We'll be on our way. ”

“You can't do it alone. I'd rather you go with the others. ”

Hani suggests a worrying face, but he gives out his armor and shakes his head. Harun was worried, but the party girl, Avan, was a comfortable face that was not worried but sad to part with people.

Meanwhile, seeing the back of avan and Shani slowly climbing up the river, each and every one of the loving people greeted each other, Henny's eyes became round, unable to take away his worrying eyes.

“Oh my! What is it? ”

A group of people suddenly appear in her gaze. The swordsmen and the wizards in robes, one by one, appeared next to the woman.

“Whoa! That's amazing! ”

Ares was impressed with the situation. Others nodded in turn. Understanding the situation.

It was the Arvans who came here, but the guild members are resurrected around them. It's a connection point. It's locked out, but the resurrection point may be different. If you set up a resurrection point around the Guild Master, that's what happens when you die.

“Tsk! Drugs. If I knew this, I would have raised the commission fee. ”

Hennie complains without feeling any malice. Around the woman who had already gone quite far, more than a dozen users were resurrected.

If you were to accompany us, you would have suffered quite a lot of casualties, but you can move safely and quickly with the penalty of death.

“Henny, in fact we too.... ”

An excerpt from Henny's hand suddenly gives you an uncomfortable look.

“Hmmm? Even you? ”

“Yes. I thought it was a brilliant idea, but they were thinking the same thing. ”

Baltrang, who returned his armor, greeted him daily as well. He and Dylan, who had been escorts for a long time in particular, moved on to the land of tranquility after talking for quite a long time.

Baltrang's indifferent expression and a slightly chatty excuse were said to be engaged, but nothing changed before the trip. There are still new characters appearing one by one around two people walking a step apart.

“Why do I look like a military figure? ”

“Yes. Valtran and his guild members, I don't know how they did it, but they're soldiers. That's pretty strong, too. ”

Ares and Magram looked behind them and guessed their identity.

“Damn. I envy you. They must know the exact location of the dungeon, right? ”

“Of course you are. ”

Those with money and power will get information at all costs. It was different from the sky and the earth as they rushed into their bodies.

“Oh, it's Sachin. Maybe I walked too far. I'll think about it after a break. Are you all right, Captain Harun? ”

Taniella sits back down and drinks her remaining Omicha.

“Of course.”

“I'm going to owe the commander for a while now that I'm done. Are you okay with that?”

“Taniella and Dylan are always welcome. ”

At Harun's words, the two of them smiled satisfactorily and nodded, looking into each other's eyes. Dami, who was occasionally under the sword guidance of Dylan, and Lorraine, Donnes' apprentice, noticed Schmir and Mobius.

“We're going to stay here today. Moe, what do you think? ”

“That's a good idea, Shue! Chief, you okay? ”

Harun nods at Mobius. It wasn't going to be hard.

Everyone left, but there were still a lot of people.

The storm troopers and the rest spent a peaceful afternoon by the lake.

Some bathed and enjoyed swimming in the lake, and made a fishing hook to see where Dylan and Taniella got them.

The young people, Mobius and others, didn't even think about coming out of the water while pairing up to play with the water or to compete with their swimming skills. The beautiful time of youth was passing, as if it were water.

Dylan and Taniella were more engaged in conversation than fishing, so they only took the bait, but they were able to catch a rainbow fish with only one forearm.

After Tino and Donnie, they trimmed the meat, put the sauce on the skewers, and baked it on a campfire.

As the smell of the fish ripening with the sunset spread, the people who had fallen into the water seemed unavailable one by one. When I sat down to eat, I naturally remembered the meal time of the last noisy journey.

“Captain, what are you going to do? ”

Ares, who has eaten half a fish in his forearm, puffs and bites. It was a question that everyone was curious about, including the crew, but Harun's serious expression had not been asked.

“Are you going? ”

I guess Henny was wondering the same thing. Harun nods as he tears off the burned shell and eats the steaming flesh. In response, everyone was relieved and excited.

This is a dungeon left behind by an ancient civilization. I wonder what I'm going to do if I just go back. Even though the group was naturally involved, they were worried that Harun's face would look dark and the dungeon would be canceled.

Harun realized that only when he had eaten all the bread and grilled fish do people see him. The group is anxious because they don't tell you the details of their future events because they are deeply distraught.

“Guess why someone like Avan is so hung up on the grimoire. ”

It caused Harun to ponder the whole time he was traveling straight.

No matter how much I thought about it, I didn't understand.

I wondered why the Nobles, who didn't seem to have much left in reality, came into a virtual reality game that young people enjoy, and had to bring their own forces here as they deliberately killed the guild members.

Harun looks at Ares. Once a journalist, he thought there might be some information, but he shakes his head with a bitter smile. That's what I was wondering, too.

Neither Magram nor Chorn seemed to know anything. The same was true for other users. Moreover, Tino and Dylan are residents of Beyond, and Donnes and Taniella don't seem to know what they're talking about.

Harun's last eyes were on Mobius and Heny. Mobius and her look, as if they knew something, but their eyes are on Ares' group. They are reluctant to know their existence while traveling.

“Is it difficult to speculate if it's widely known? ”

“Yes, it's a guess. Given their profession, I can't speculate. ”

“It doesn't matter to me, but the information I know is too limited. ”

The reaction suggests that he knows more about it than Mobius. But it may be natural for them to be wary of Magnum and Chorn and Ares.

GM of the press and the game. Journalists are the players in packaging, and GM is the servant of Neckwall who developed this game.

“I'll never tell, Henny. Trust me."

Ares desperately looked at Heny to see if he was really curious.

“We won't report it to the authorities. It's pointless to report unless you're absolutely sure. ”

As Chorn puts it, Henny doesn't even blink. Chorn, who regarded her attitude as unbelievable, spoke up and explained with a bitter smile.

“I don't know, but Beyond's GM is different from other games. Our Neckwall has developed this game, but with all sorts of constraints, we can't monitor the content of the game at all. It also changes the story of the game itself, and it doesn't get to know more than its users about a particular event. So Neckwall sent over a hundred GMs to Kowon's office alone. Our mission is to investigate and narrow down some of the bold events in the game. And our remuneration depends on the grade of the report on those incidents. ”

Henry's eyes widen with his words. She also worked for Neckwall, but she didn't know it. I made a guess, of course.

“Does that mean that Neckwall now has no control over Beyond at all? ”

At this point, Chorn and Magran nod with a solemn look at Heny's question that he cannot believe.

“What a surprise. How?"

“Neckwall headquarters doesn't seem to know anything about this. Of course, it's judged from our perspective. ”

Henny's eyes glitter.

That's exactly what I thought! ’

She also once thought that Neckwall might be working in a secret funding lab. I haven't played many other games, but none of the usual patches were either bug reporting or balancing.

Neckwall has been almost unresponsive to user complaints or questions.

“Okay, first of all, remember that I'm a speculator and a speculator. Especially Ares promised never to write this story as an article. with an account and a name. ”

“Okay, sure. I can't stand to have questions from my personality. ”

After Ares made a vow to honor Mana's vows to wizards, he finally opened his mouth. Even Tino and Dylan, who don't know the details of the estramorwn, have their curious eyes on Henie.

“Dungeons found in the land of serenity are not ordinary dungeons. ”

“Of course. ”

Chorn, who was playing the ball, shuts up in a hurry because of Henny's scolding young gaze.

“Perhaps powerful organizations with the best information lines can guess some of the contents of the grimoire in the dungeon. because there were clues to them in the Imperial Library. ”

“You said there was a book written about him in the Imperial Library? ”

I was curious and choked up on Henny's attention, but this time I answered him quietly.

“Yes, I did. I mentioned him as the author of a famous book, Saline Galsh. As the head of the Bukurre Kingdom, which existed before the Empire, he collected stories from a long time ago and composed six books called the Book of Wisdom. ”

“Book of Wisdom? ”

Someone muttered the title of the book.

“The book mentions the ‘Ra’ Empire, which completed an ancient civilization. and a few lines about the Blue Sunder Tower in this video. It says that the Blue Thunder Tower was a very powerful force that united all the towers and academics except for the Dark Magic Tower, and it had a completely different system of magic from the present. They've done it all in four different systems, and unfortunately, all four of them are gifts for the next emperor. ”

“Hm. So your grimoire contains magic with different systems. ”

Dylan gives you an interesting look.

“The problem is the four systems that the tower has completed, and the Book of Wisdom has a brief mention of that. ”

People's eyes and ears were drawn to him by the words "mentions." She enjoys such attention and attention for a moment and opens her mouth.

“One is authentic magic. to make Mana loops that tell you how many circles you have in your body, to resonate with the mana of nature. The other thing is to stack Mana in a virtual Mana Ocean, which is known to exist in perfect weather, and practice magic. Now it's a magical system that's completely cut off. ”

Like she said, it was now a magical system to form Mana loops and define circles.

By any chance?

Harun's words came to his ears, especially as the elemental stones swallowed by Nia were located in the right place.

But Henny didn't know the details either. I had to hear more.

“The third is a kind of magic that estramorwn call psychic. It is primarily known to exist in the head area, but its actual excess is an unchecked Mana Ocean magic system that builds up different kinds of mana and mediates will. ”

"Superpowers!"

As soon as Harun heard that, Harun remembered Nine. Obviously, she exerts a mind-bending force that stops Hark's body momentarily. It is a force that exists in this place as well as in reality.

“The fourth is body strengthening magic. It's a magic that creates a body that can survive in any environment, and it's only known to use magic geniuses and a little bit of body manipulation. It's magic that not only enhances your body's ability, but allows you to adapt to any environment. ”

Gulp!

You hear someone swallow your saliva.

Although it was surprising to find that there were more than one great stalk of magic except dark magic, the second and third magic systems were often repetitive by other mysterious forces, not just magic at the present time. I was really surprised that such amazing power was organized.

“Maybe foreigners like Mr. Arvan and Valtran needed that grimoire to get away from the harsh and dangerous environment they were in, or to train new powerful warriors. You know, strangers are in a very dangerous environment, and the barrier is getting weaker and weaker lately. ”

Henny's words are finished, but no one speaks. Foreigners, as foreigners do, NPCs, as they think.

But the silence did not last long.

Magnum, who was thinking of something, opens his mouth in surprise for a moment.

“That reminds me. I heard it when my father was talking to his friends at home one day, but some of the Special Forces said that their bodies are normal, but that what happens in the distance is also a mixture of unique abilities that you can see right in front of them. ”

Chorn hesitates for a moment, but soon he decides something.

“The primary goal of our GMs, in fact, is to find hidden talents that are not officially revealed. The target is high rankers and users who have chosen a career in the combat branch. I heard from other colleagues that Mana Flow, run by the knights here, is also possible in real life. So it's possible to use Mana in real life. Soon there will be an official announcement at Union, but these high rankers will be a special recruitment for each Union. ”

“That will be announced when high rankers have the ability to use Mana. In Neckwall, high rankers with the ability to generate Mana with passive skills and use it seem to be confident that they will be able to use it in reality after some time of training. ”

Following Magram's further explanation, the estramorwn realized that there was something big about this Beyond game.

“Hm. That's why the military characters are accessing this game. Unlike other games, Beyond had an enormous number of people who were thought to have real jobs as soldiers and practitioners. So there's a rumor going around in the workplace that maybe this game was built as an army. ”

Mobius' words were reassuring enough to convince him of the stories of those who spoke before.

“The existence of magic with a new system is not only a treasure for the estramorwn. In fact, strangers have not been proven to be able to use such magic in real life, but this is different. because the La Empire, already the greatest civilization, that's been in the movies for thousands of years, has proven that it's real. And in this world, those grimoires have enormous value. I think the emperor who holds these grimoires will win the throne through the Golden Battle, and if he grows up not as an emperor, he will rise to be the greatest man on the continent. ”

Hennie's voice was strong and sure. That was not the end.

“And a grimoire for the Crown Prince would be an introduction, which is even more important. In fact, high-level magic doesn't know the basics, so it takes a long time for a lot of people to study it. Beyond's magic is now complete as well. But the introduction is a different story. because it can be used immediately. ”

People were almost certain of heny's reasoning. I don't know where I got this information, but if what is mentioned in the book "The Book of Wisdom" is true, users and NPCs are now holding a treasure that cannot be truly valued.

“We must have it. ”

“Of course.”

“Whoever it is, those grimoires are ours. ”

Without even considering who Henny says we are, people raise their voices to drive and burn their will to the grimoires. After hearing Henny's speculations, they are more and more coveted treasures.

There was a profound blaze in people's eyes, and the flames were burning.

“Perhaps the empire is shaken by the dungeons in this land of tranquility. A lot of poor talent is gonna get hurt. ”

Taniella. His presbyopia is filled with grief and loneliness, as if they were about to be destroyed by the treasure.

“After all, I'm sure Blood Bora will work for the dungeon. The bigger the death here, the better for the mincho. ”

“What do you mean by that? ”

Henny asked Dylan.

“From the standpoint of the folk who have to suffer again because of the Golden Battle, if the main players who play the Golden Battle lose this dungeon, they won't have to lose their family or neighbors. ”

Dylan has a very negative view of the Golden Battle as unnoble.

“The Golden Battle has kept the empire prosperous for a thousand years, peacefully, without any special civil war or rebellion." ”

Mobius heard a lot of that when he was in the Empire Intelligence Guild. Of course, that was a common view for users to see the Golden Battle.

“No, it's not. That's just the opinion unilaterally asserted by the information guilds and imperial and Senate legendary nobles who hold information and verbal projections. ”

At the first sound, everyone focused on Dylan. He clears his throat if this concern is a bit uncomfortable, but soon, he gives his opinion with a stiff face.

“In fact, the Golden Battle has caused the Empire to regress very slowly over the last thousand years. It is the same for other empires who have embraced this system. If anything, only the Aslan Empire, which was torn into six kingdoms 300 years ago, is flourishing. ”

“I don't think that's the only way to see it. ”

“No, Henny. I've heard a lot of rumors about people dying over the Golden Battle. Even the mercenaries who have learned a little and experienced the world should abolish the Golden Battle Islands, raising their voices in the drink. ”

Tino agrees with Dylan.

Harun did not care about the politics of the empire or the continent, but in reality he studied history differently. Tino also had a lot of things that he naturally listened to and saw while walking around, so the three of them were able to have a very deep debate.

Surprisingly, Taniella has studied magic all her life, so it's pretty dark in reality. He was just an outsider to the debate, like Harun and the others.

“The Golden Battle is not the institution the Emperor wanted historically. And I don't want most of the lesser nobles, including myself. ”

Dylan has made an unexpected statement.

“Yes? What do you mean? ”

When he said he couldn't understand, Dylan explained with a serious face.

“The history of this system dates back to the early days of the Empire. During that time, we were preparing the imperial framework, so the imperial empire was unstable. For generations, the emperors surrounded the empire and waged a slaughter war against it. Terrible and cruel things have happened that have killed every brother except the emperor of our time, the High Septon. ”

It was proven by the history of this place or reality. There were frequent bone marrow disputes or insurgencies until the rest of the palace was settled.

“So Crows von Theron, the five most brilliant men in 1,000 years of history, came up with this scheme after years of thinking about the Imperial Horsemaster and the Three Dukes, the Founding Fathers, to end the abuse. ”

It was the first fact that all the others who knew the history but were not interested in anything other than getting stronger.

“There was no need to shed useless blood for a while because the prince had won a fair victory over the Emperor for a certain period of time and the rest of the emperors had been banned from political activity. So for over 300 years, the empire has been at peace and prosperity, and the other two empires on the continent have embraced it. But at some point, this institution was creating new rulers. It was a senate centered on the Duke of Boris and the Duke of Ibud, who led the Golden Battle Islands. Instead of participating in the Golden Battle, they have the power to defend their neutral position as Emperors. They were able to metallurgically create their own Knights to run the Golden Battle, as well as the territory of the Senate, where they would not have to pay taxes to Duck and the Emperor, who could own the Horse Tower. Because the Golden Battle caused serious power leaks, emperors who were unable to take a stable succession of emperors had to naturally lean on them or hold hands for stable government operations. ”

I didn't know there was such a situation. I had just thought of it as a reasonable institution, as briefly described in Beyond Homeblood, caused by repeated civil wars.

“As the system continued, the knights who were armed with loyalty to the Lord were divided into two forces. And so were the wizards. So the 14th and 19th emperors and 23rd emperors were victorious before, but their roots remained strong. Three of the top eight members of the Empire's economic empire are members of the Senate, and their information is tightly connected to the Empire Information Guild in one hand. Although they won, their existence and power were not completely erased because they did not win. And from one day to the next, the unwitting death of the strong-willed emperors and the growing number of nobles and knights who coveted the title of a jackal severely corrupted the Golden Battle. ”

“Then it must have been the duc of the Senate. ”

According to Henny, Dylan nods.

“That's what everyone I know thinks. Whatever political form originally elected the monarchy, conflicting structures are common. But when the two kingdoms became two, the Divine Truth, including knights and nobles, was also divided into two. Forces following the Senate elected the Army and declared it neutral, leaving the Golden Battle, while nobles who wanted to rise and knights who wanted to rise became more and more intensely involved in the Golden Battle. ”

Human greed was the problem. Instead of giving up on rising status, the Senate gained Silly. It was to maintain intact power without wasting useless power and to raise wealth and real rights.

“Of course, I couldn't keep up the plot of power the Senate wanted so much. Their control of cancer has led to successive victories in the Golden Battle, and families that have grown to feel threatened by the Senate. Four consecutive Golden Battle winners, the Duke of Pommel and the Duke of Hugo have gained as much power and power as the Senate through a council of supreme nobility. Like the nobles of the Senate, they no longer participate in the Golden Battle, but ruled the emperor by the name of the Emperor Farah. ”

It was complex. It reminded me of a gigantic stage where aspiring monarchs, like the great name of the empire, use all kinds of tricks and tricks.

“The problem is that most of the empire has been compromised in the meantime. The lives of the nobles have not changed much since the early days of the Empire, but the Empire has fallen into total turmoil due to repeated Golden Battles. ”

“That's right. Early in the empire, more than 80 percent of birch farms are now less than 10 percent. Moreover, agricultural productivity fell by half compared to that time, and the number of laborable men fell by a third. ”

Hennie fights back.

“As Henny said, even if the empire is torn into three pieces now, it's no exaggeration. Knights are also divided into three pieces, or even politically inflamed knights like me. This isn't enough to make it an empire. ”

Dylan takes the situation of the Empire very seriously. Perhaps there won't be many lords or knights like him.

Harun was able to clearly understand the hard lives of the Empire people who had never been interested in anything until now. Last time, I remembered the moment of the slaughter because of the young daughter of the farmer near John White Writing.

‘Then why does it feel like I didn't do it? ’

It was a mystery, not only did it feel like someone else did it, but every moment of it was there from a bystander perspective, just like watching a movie.

‘Only here or in reality or powerless people die. ’

More unfortunately, they cannot afford to lose the courage to do so. Having a playground like this virtual reality game to be brainwashed and unable to think for a long time does not make it easy for us to feel motivated or rejected to be treated unjustly.

“Aye! Anywhere in the world is the same. ”

The group doesn't respond to Henny's shout. Each one understands this reality through his own experience.

Even though it was so serious for a moment, those who saw the moonlight scenery of the lake forgot about the serious topics and enjoyed a walk with their favorite people or talking about Dorado.

However, Harun still recalls Dylan's story and is unable to complete the lake landscape properly. He was nothing but a powerless Border, and through this time he began to think properly about reality.

Of course, this was only a matter of fact, but it was not really a meaningful time for Harun who had not thought of such a matter at all. Through Henry's conversations with Dylan, who recognized the seriousness of his experience, he came to his mind with an idea other than a goal of becoming strong.

We began to think deeply about the reality of this theoretical empire and to relate it to reality.

‘Obviously, the same was true of Teve Backwriting. ’

Even Prince Thebes, one of the patrons of the Queen of Briela, who has been in a relationship with him, has been collecting harsh taxes for more than a decade, and the words "deprivation" have been hard to describe.

If the Earl of Thebes, who is famous for his generous lordship, would be even worse. Of course, it was less controlled by lords like Dylan who had poor, isolated lands or lacked power, but that didn't mean they had no effect at all.

It was often because of the issue of equity that he had to notice.

Moreover, the more taxes the lord had, the better, the placenta was where neighboring territories would collect the same or slightly less taxes as an excuse.

‘This is no different from the circle, the reality is that 0.1% of the top tiers have 95% or more of the goods. ’

Most people in the Theon Empire, who were brainwashed by the Union government and unable to see the reality, or who could work their way through a periodic Golden Battle to die, seemed no different.

Henny looks around the property and asks all of Tino.

“I'm going to change society someday. You know what the opposite of hope is, Tino? ”

“Despair. Downstream people like us spend our whole lives thinking about it. ”

“No, the opposite of hope is not despair. It's giving up. Despair is a bud of hope that's going to happen again, but if you give up, it's going to give up all the potential. ”

“Hehe, is that so? No matter how smart I look at it, my Hennie is really smart. I like smart people because I can't learn. No, it's not just smart. It's really smart. In fact, none of the tall ones are stupid. ”

Harun empathizes deeply with Tino's words. In fact, he will be the lowest of his peers without learning anything. I didn't get all of my mandatory training, and I didn't really remember studying or taking classes when I went to school.

He began to learn something real after the start of this Beyond game. Living in a virtual world that cannot be experienced in real life, he is experiencing the process of realizing things for himself, listening to them, and digesting what he cannot afford.

Moreover, it was also about reason. Even his contact with Bell, who was ignorant enough to feel even strange emotions, and had no experience at all, was able to meet many women through this Bjond.

I met many women in a short period of time, including Elzer, who was crude but pure, who was beautiful and smart and charismatic, who initially began to open the door together for a long time, and who made me feel calm enthusiasm. Together, I came to this Hani where I liked her even more.

The most comfortable of them, of course, was Elzer, but the hall was the first to recognize her as a woman. It was a hall that felt close to the word first love, but he felt that she was not NPC, but something that didn't suit him.

The currents and even Henny are intelligent brains and outstanding women. Halls and currents looked beautiful, but Harun felt that they weren't the right clothes for her.

Perhaps the woman who suits him best is the only one I've ever met. Even though he was ordinary, he felt more like a colleague who could tell me things he didn't know and advise me the way he was going.

‘But I'm afraid of smart women. She has her own beliefs and strong will, which makes her shinier and more attractive, but somehow I feel burdened. I prefer an ordinary woman who can only look at me and rely on me. ’

Thinking about it made me laugh.

‘Hehe, I don't even think about the person who gives me food, but I'm beating myself up in my head. ’

Harun smiles bloody. While the three leading men were openly discussing the reality of the empire, he fell backwards thinking that way.

'By the way, should I turn this world upside down? ’

There was no decent way to do it because it was a reality, but I thought there might be something I could do in this world. Ares will explode at the location of the dungeon. Of course, the information guilds tried to make a lot of money for this opportunity, but it will taste good.

Or you can destroy the story quest itself. It is not to persuade some suitable candidates and gather forces to battle the Golden Battle, but to separate them into a new kingdom.

Of course, war is necessary, but isn't the Golden Battle also a war? If more than one Crown Prince and several others become independent at the same time, the enemies of the people - the Senate, the Imperial Court, the Supreme Noble Council and the Imperial Intelligence Guild - will likely also be dispersed.

Or use this dungeon to draw in all the power of the Empire and ranker rankers and end it all at once. This land of tranquility is a hard place to come from for those with ordinary abilities. If you exterminate everyone who comes here, the system of periodic exhaustion, like the Golden Battle, will disappear. The other empires will not rule. Of course, as Dylan has said, other empires may not even consider invading the Theron Empire under similar circumstances.

‘What a fantasy. ’

Harun smiles with a bloodshot smile, but he is somewhat extravagant in that magnitude. Thinking about it, the scope of the incident wasn't this wide until Beyond. I can't imagine just complaining about reality and complaining about someone, and I can't even imagine shaking the system like this.

‘Wait. it's not necessarily impossible. If the details of the location of the dungeon and the grimoires in the dungeon were revealed, the undisturbed Senate or the Supreme Court of Nobles would not be as stubborn as they are now. Moreover, if there is even a chance that I will get the artifact, I may have to act quickly while fighting hard. ’

At first, Harun began to dig deep into the thoughts that began in his fantasy. I don't know if it's real, but Bjorn here isn't losing his ability. Moreover, considering the fact that he was unwittingly reluctant to summon, his ability rises quite high.

Those who stayed overnight at the lake decided to take another day off again. Strangers who had not been able to log out properly, but Taniella was very struggling to make a decision.

Harun calls upon Ares and Maw and Chorn separately.

“Ares, I'll give you the location of the dungeon. ”

“Yes? Really? You said you only know the approximate location. ”

Ares jumps up and down in shock.

The location of the dungeon was the reason why either Avan's group left first or Balt's group envied him. I asked him several times during the trip, but Harun said he didn't know the details. Of course, there were several clues in the footage, so the location was roughly known, but to find the actual dungeon, one had to explore a wide range of locations.

Based on the locations in the footage, the station's estimated location of the dungeon ranged from over 60 kilometers in every direction. When you think about the mountains in it, it actually takes a tremendous amount of manpower and effort to search this range.

If you know the exact location, you don't have to spend time and effort like that.

“I visited the Imperial Intelligence Guild in Earl Tebe once. ”

That was enough. I don't know what he did, but Harun got information from there. Although the location has been roughly uncovered, the detailed location has another value. It's another big piece of information.

The two GMs' faces lit up, not to mention Ares.

“I will quickly go to reality, or my world. This information is going to be a lot of money. Thank you, commander! ”

“We'll be right back. They'd love to know it from the top. ”

Magram and Chorn were thrilled with the overwhelming information. If they make it to this information, they will be guaranteed a promotion. I can also ask for a huge reward.

“Do me a favor. ”

“Yes, go ahead. ”

The three of them listened to Harun's request to become more blessed than anyone else in reality and in the game.

“Due to information about the existence of the last dungeon, our gale mercenaries were killed by the Empire Intelligence Guild and a few others. ”

At his words, the three men bow their heads. In fact, he knew it was caused by the fact that they revealed the origin of the information.

“So I don't want you to reveal the source of the information this time. If you ask specifically, please tell me you received a large amount from an unknown information merchant who introduced you to the bridge by the gust. ”

“I understand.”

“We understand. ”

The three accepted his request without fail because they had sinned.

“A lot of people are heading to or over the Le Yireid Mountains. Go around the outskirts of the marshes and let them know the way through Tebe to get here so they don't waste any more time. There's no need to cross the Irish Mountains, so a lot of people will be able to make it safely. Ares, tell your colleagues to keep the broadcast on time for their vanguard to arrive on the Plains of Silence. ”

Not many know the existence of the marshes that follow Earl Thebes, even if they do not cross the Irish Mountains. Perhaps more people could come here safely if this information were known. Of course, you still need to be at least a certain level of force.

“I understand.”

The three of them immediately logged out of the room without having the time to talk to the others. I had to hand over this information for a while.

‘Let's finish the Golden Battle here. ’

Harun's heart is steady. He decided to crash. I've decided to sharpen the heads of the forces who discovered the Imperial Intelligence Guild and the Dungeon.

The contents of the grimoire. According to Henny, it's just a guess, so you can't detonate it, but the location of the dungeon will someday be revealed. However, he only helped to bring together the world's mightiest in a short time.

Rather than a massive war demanding the sacrifice of helpless civilians, it seemed right to fight bloodied from above standards. The Story Quest, which was rewarded for participating in the Golden Battle that the mercenaries couldn't raise anyway, was already a worthless Harun.

To Be Continued
