Haroon

"The Matter of Henny"

With a late dinner, Harun decided to set a new course for the valley where he was headed, hearing the stories of his men scouting in the other two directions.

“But it's going to take a long time. ”

Everyone was already aware of the situation on the valley side. Even if it wasn't Tino's words, they were all the same.

“It won't take long if you join forces with the dwarves. ”

It shouldn't be that hard to break a temporary path, not a long one. The entire Red Morrow Tribe is about a thousand. The Dwarves of about half the age will be able to work.

“How do you plan on making your way? ”

“Maybe if you cut down a tree and hit a cliff, you'll have to pass a glass." It shouldn't be that hard with a Ben tree. More than that, we need more hands. I need to see the anamenfath right away. ”

The quest required Dwarves to participate, no matter how urgent it was.

“Excellent! It's best to make a new path for once, just in case.“ Plus, we'll need trees to make charcoal anyway, so we'll help. But this job isn't easy, so I help everyone except the cave diggers and the seniors. ”

Thankfully, Taruga and the elders were afraid of the humans' approach. He knew the greed of humans well. If humans find themselves, bad things will happen.

After returning to the camp late at night, I saw Henny enjoying the moonlight without sleeping yet. As he sat on the big rock and looked up at the sky in the moonlight, he was filled with deep anxiety.

“What are you doing here? ”

“Ah, commander! ”

Hani tries to get up, startled, but Harun flicks lightly and sits next to her.

“Are you worried about something? ”

“No, it's a bit of a problem with living expenses, but I don't have to worry about it for a while because I got the money from the commander. That's a lot of money in my real life. Even if you get credit for it, you don't get that kind of salary. ”

“Well, that's a relief. Henny likes to smile. Those frowny faces are ugly and wrinkly, so don't build them again. ”

“Hehe, did I do that? I just couldn't think of anything... ”

Harun's words clearly show a quick smile on Henny's face. With her tall hair and strangely neutral charm, she fits the vibrant bright figure.

“What were you thinking? Tell me.”

Hennie shakes his head.

“The commander won't understand if he hears. It's the story of a world where we estramorwn live. ”

“But you know what? I don't know if I can fix this. Even if it's not, it's better than moaning by yourself. What, you don't hate me? ”

“No, that's not it. If you don't trust the commander, who will you trust? Actually……. ”

Henny clears his mind.

She and her three friends created an organization called the White Society.

Your friends with a common denominator who was born as a human lens in 104 decided to gather their strength for the benefit of most of the lenses who were not properly nurtured through their growth and experiences and collapsed into the downstream lives of union society.

However, with the power of the four of them, their magnificent goal was to find and unite the same lens.

The biggest problem was money. Having funding to do cafe activities properly also cost a lot of money to promote Uninets and GlobalNets. After several attempts and discussions, we found that it was best to play café activities in the most popular virtual reality games at their age, but that was the problem.

It took a lot of money to promote this Neckwall system. A tremendous amount of KRW 10 million per month for premium promotions that are most visible to users.

All four of them were just that job, in a situation where the game was not a proper ranker, and there were no funds, so their will was just a dream. Hennie blames his inability for that and is depressed.

Harun wanted to help her. I didn't want to stand up and tell her that I was a lens, but she was a wonderful woman who acted directly with a great idea compared to just pretending not to know and not care about herself.

‘Hm. Should I just give it to him? No, that's insulting him. ’

Harun ponders for a moment and figures out a way.

“Henny, do you know what Ares does? ”

“Ares? Of course I'm a journalist. ”

“I mean, can we hand the news and information over to the broadcaster and negotiate? ”

“Of course it is. ”

There's no way someone as smart as her could have done that.

“Then I'll give you the news. Deal with the broadcaster. I'll make sure you have plenty. ”

“Really? Isn't that just for Ares and her group? ”

“That's my heart. We're just dealing with them. She's my precious colleague. ”

Henny quickly understands Harun's offer. In fact, I've been very jealous. I knew that Ares and Magram had become full time employees and made a lot of money. Seeing tens of thousands of gold going back and forth, I never wished I could do it again.

“Another crew has been sneaking around the dungeon and filming the battle between those who discovered the dungeon and the elves, so if we negotiate properly, we'll get paid a lot of money. Let's do it right. The rest of the crew will handle the situation here. ”

It's a video that's about to be released, but Ares and his group are unconsciously distracted from the dungeon, leaving before Michaels Harun even handed over the chip.

The users were very curious about how things were going as they headed towards this dungeon. In this case, it is a video that will blow up. The trust part is the fact that she is the same lens as herself, although we are not confident that we have just met.

“Hey, boss! Thank you. I'll never forget this favor. ”

Henny soon bursts into tears and buries his face into Harun's arms. Hani's heart was overwhelmed with a feeling of helplessness.

Now you have the funds you need. If you negotiate well with the broadcaster, you will have a chance to surpass Ares. I thought it was the goal I had set, but I could not do it. When my heart was melted like snow, tears poured out constantly.

Harun taps his wet shoulder with his face on the damp chest. I was so ashamed that I was just frustrated and tamed by the unfortunate reality that I lived every day as meaningless as a zombie.

Lately, Virtual Victors, who were so shy of handing over the title Howl Vision to a leading broadcaster about Beyond, a virtual reality game with extreme reality, finally launched a coup of contrition.

It was a video of Beyond's most curious dungeon situation. The 12: 00 video, usually when users were getting ready to go to bed after playing, was truly the greatest hit.

In the footage taken by someone, there are vivid images of the basin where the dungeon is located, of the elves occupying the dungeon, and of the battle of Humans trying to take the dungeon from the Elves.

Hyeryun was also watching the video she handed over with three friends.

“Is that really from your boss? ”

Bora, who works as a librarian in the game but also in the real world, asked in an unbelievable tone.

“I told you! I'm the famous gale mercenary. ”

“Yes, I do now. Don't yell at me. How many times do you have to tell me you don't believe me? ”

Natu's voice was filled with jealousy. I've always admitted that Hyeryun, who has the brightest brain of her friends, has already got a Ph.D., has a different story in the game.

In fact, although he is an intermediate therapist, there are many users with that title. No, there were many NPCs who were healers higher in stature than her and could practice healing magic.

However, she soon joined the gale mercenaries who had become almost legendary to the users. On a yearly salary of 6,000, defense gear and weapons will be paid for free, plus additional income guaranteed.

The world is so unfair. ’

The fact that my best friend was not sick with his stomach, but the reality that he did not have such an opportunity was too hard. Still, I was glad that the share of the money she made in the deal was funded by the white community.

“Now we're on the air. ”

Following the reckless descriptions of Game Jackie, the video that the users had been waiting for was released.

The footage from the top of the mountain shows the expected dungeon. A dungeon was located in the heart of a vast basin where soil was piled up in the pyramid and what would have changed if the trees had grown.

“Wow! That's cool. ”

Bora bursts into elasticity. Others couldn't help but be surprised.

The dungeons are herded around the pyramid-shaped mountains where the elves appear to be black, and there are numerous humans surrounding them widely.

“Hmph. Looks like you're finally getting some slack." ”

Hyeryun nods at Daho's words.

“Couldn't wait any longer. Soon other Humans will come here like bees. ”

Bora agreed with Hyeryun.

Even if it's like you, you can't always be vigilant and rebellious against the Elves. I had to do something about it, but I would have settled things with the xenophiles first and settled the rest later, or I would have agreed to share the grimoire.

As if Jacqui, the game of the program, was also having a similar conversation with panels.

“Though I expected it, it couldn't have been easy……. ”

When you think about human history, which has been repeated with prosperity and destruction because of greed, you can see how difficult it is to produce these results.

‘Maybe he played a part in the Empire Intelligence Guild. ’

Their tentacles were insanely close to the knights of almost every nobleman, as well as the guild of the only foreigners. In some cases, their events were secretive, so they didn't even know they were doing such a role.

“They're going to attack! ”

Focusing on Bora's words, the three friends were able to see Cam's screen expanding significantly around the dungeon. The humans are finally starting to attack the dungeon.

Dozens of marches were marching towards the target, consisting of ten of each row and five of each group, namely a hundred. Humans on the perimeter of the perimeter have a huge shield that can cover their entire body, and inside, they hold a rectangular shield above their head, but there is no gap in whether they fit it or not.

If you look at the sound of rolling feet, you've already trained a few times. The wide basin beneath the mountain was filled with the sound of the ground ringing in an instant. It was impressive to see a well-trained army advancing.

Nattu was impressed with the experience of pre-group in other strategy games.

“You've prepared a lot. ”

“I see. The arrows of the Elves are terrifying. It's probably a metaphor for making a few sacrifices. ”

I was so excited to see this battle scene for the first time.

“But is that enough to stop an elven arrow attack? ”

“I don't know. The shield's material, armor, and how well trained it is. Once you have access to Pyramid Mountain, you'll have an opportunity for even the most talented of Humans. ”

As they say, you can soon see the mighty arrows of the Elves attacking. The strange sound echoes as the progress of the humans approaches a certain distance. It sounded like a grass flute, but it was sharp enough to be heard even at the top of a tall mountain.

Beep, beep!

Shushyut!

The sound of protests and the sound of arrows cutting through the air sparks a fierce speculation like the sound of hooves advancing.

Tadahak! Tadahak!

- Aah!

- Ugh!

Screams erupt from the crack of the moment. It seems the shield was insufficient to stop the Elves' arrows. The shields raised above have black arrows embedded in them, and many of the forward and lateral advancements were wounded or killed by the arrows through the shield.

Each advance stops once the arrow strikes and quickly rearranges its advance according to the conductor's orders. The wounded take their place inside and others take their place.

“There were backup. ”

“I see.”

As Tahoe said, there was an intermediate reinforcement beneath the square shield, filling the spots of the wounded or the dead. Although it did not look good to push the wounded or the dead out of their way, they were able to quickly recreate their progress.

After four arrows, the humans were able to get close enough to the pyramid. After many casualties, of course, the gap between the elves gradually increases to see if the arrows fall.

The basin, however, had countless arrows embedded or dropped on the ground, called an arrow field. It has been over a month since Harun handed over the footage to Jin Jin, so it is fair to see how many battles there have been between the humans and the Elves.

Bang! Bang! Dong!

In the place where the humans are herded, you hear a loud drum in succession.

- Gunfire!

- Whoa!

Let's chew it up!

Humans drop their shields, screaming like beasts, and rushing towards the mountain of the pyramid where the elves are infested. It was so hot that my heart was beating and my blood boiled.

Some of them are already nearer to the mountain than others. There were hundreds of them, but at least they seemed to have the skills to get close to the article. However, it was assumed that he was a foreigner because he was wearing chain armor and various kinds of hard leather, not formal armor.

“How? With that level of physical exertion, you have to be at least in your late 80s to early 90s.... ”

“Don't you have a bug? ”

It has not been confirmed for some time, but until just recently, it was officially known that the average level of the top thousand high rankers, i.e. the top 1,000 of all users, was in the early 80s. It's not hard to be surprised by Hyeryun and her friends.

After reaching level 70, it was so terrible to accumulate experience that it was difficult to level up without the sheer will and willingness to be immortal. Even if you can only hunt for up to 14 hours, which is the maximum amount of time you can play in a day, it is unlikely that hundreds of powerful people of that level will appear. She couldn't understand.

But it's not impossible at all. Hyeryun and Bora quickly remembered the possibility.

“They must be soldiers. That's also from the Special Forces family……. ”

“Yes. I'm sure it reflects the body of reality and its capabilities to the fullest extent. Otherwise, it won't be easy to show those levels or move around. ”

They are too well-trained to be foreigners. Individual abilities are also emergent.

It is possible to resurrect and not be afraid of arrow attacks as you advance and move, but the swiftness of responding to commands, the fact that you wear a power sword, and the behavior of enjoying combat is unquestionable.

However, we had no idea why they were in this game without keeping Union safe in reality or carrying out their own mission.

As a group of warriors almost arrive at the dungeon, numerous elven warriors rush out of the forest at the foot of the mountain and block the leading procession.

Chang!

The leader, notorious for his archery, has actually been attacked by a fierce elf who is skilled in swordsmanship, stopping his march and storming into the battlefield.

At that moment, spiritual magic spills over into the rear forces that were about to join the leading procession. From the hillside the entire basin is echoing, making Meera vibrate everywhere.

Rise and reveal yourself, spirit of the earth!

- Fire Spirit! May the horrors of hell shine upon them!

- Wind Spirit, strike the blade of wind at them.

- Plant Spirit, lift up the roots firmly into the earth and bind their feet!

Spray the arrows of water over their heads!

The ground shakes and splits and rises. A flame erupted from within and swallowed the humans who were shaken by the earthquake and avoided the cracked ground. The wind not only spread flames everywhere, but also made numerous blades and flew them to the humans.

My arm!

I can't see my face!

- Shhh!

Humans who were trying to run away from fear fell down because of the hard roots that bent their legs, and some tried to cut them with weapons. But all of a sudden, tens of millions of feet of water arrows, created in front of them, pierced the human limbs and trunks recklessly.

- Khhh!

- No, please! I can't die!

Bang, bang! Bang, bang!

The spell was honored by a group of humans who followed the footsteps and distances with an urgent drum. It was the wizards.

- Power Flame Bomb!

- Magic missiles!

- Fire Arrow!

Hundreds of magical attacks fly towards the Elven Spirits on the hillside.

- Spirit, stop us!

The Elven Spirits quickly recovered the power they had sent to the spirits. In front of them, dozens of layers of shields were created by various spirits in an instant. The Human Wizards were about to arrive.

Squeak, squeak!

I heard a noise in succession.

An enormous amount of dust rises and quickly flies by the power of the spirit, revealing the Elven camp. The spirits were fine.

Of course, the Human Wizards were preparing for further magical attacks. But something happened that they did not think of.

Beep, beep! Beep!

Along with a peculiar whistle, a myriad of elves appeared in shrub forests at the mouth of the Pyramid Mountain, holding a very different palace. It was as big as their bow, which was much bigger than humans, and was lined with spiky arrows.

- Iron Arrow! Wizards, fall back!

Someone screams without time to drum. The spiritual wizards concentrate on chanting the incantation in the sound, some unlocking the enchantment, and others retreating backwards.

Slug! Heave!

With a terrifying wave, the elves' arrows soar high in the sky. Though it was hard to measure the distance far away, it flew towards the wizards who were roughly 1,000 metres away, even though they heard it.

Shield! Shield!

- Hayes!

- Aah!

The wizards who have escaped power through the Hayes' magic are still less damaged, but the wizards who believed or panicked and fled are truly overwhelmed. In the absence of warriors to protect them, the strength of the Iron Fist spilled at once to a certain extent simply crippled a few dozen shields.

After most wizards were killed by the rain of arrows pouring down like rain, the battlefield that was disadvantageous to Humans became even more Abigail.

After the vanguard was almost destroyed by spirit magic, and the wizards I believed in were slaughtered by the Daggers, the lead also began to shake. Among them, there were a considerable number of beginner Exporters who were able to inject Mana into the blade to enhance their strength and cutting power, but the power of the Elves was more than that.

Even though the Elves could not use Mana, their physical moves were much faster than Humans. Moreover, the elves who were dealing with them weren't the only ones.

Beep, beep, beep!

Now that another elf warrior has descended the mountain with a shout that sounds like a horror anthem, the world leans completely toward the elves. I couldn't push it away with even the most unequal numbers, but after joining the reinforcements, there were casualties on the battlefield.

Beep, beep, beep!

The spiritual enchantment causes massive casualties, some towards the vanguard and some retreating toward the pyramid mountain with a fierce gaze of fear. It was an alarm. Again, the ringtone was not for them.

I noticed that the elves at the mountainside, who had slaughtered the wizards with the Iron Arrow, were pulling their bows again.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

An urgent drum rang out.

Fall back!

Spread out and run!

With some of the commanders' orders, the humans turn to flee in unison, but there is one last attack left.

Open your heart and hold them!

Once the spirits chant the incantation together, the whole of the Pyramid Mountains, about 100 meters of land, collapses at once.

- Aah!

- Aaaah!

Most of the squadrons who lost their ability, as well as the speculation, ran into the earth. It was 100 meters wide and about 10 meters deep, so there were very few humans who avoided it.

On top of that, an arrow rains from the Elven Warriors. The so-called check shot, and the number of humans who dodged the arrow and fled back up was just enough to be counted by hand.

It was a great victory for the Elves.

“Scary! Humans are almost extinct. ”

Daho mutters in astonishment.

The Elves connected timely attacks like cogs, almost annihilating Humans.

“Whoa, even though humans are defeated, it's cool. My heart is pounding. ”

As Natu was watching the battle unfolding in a daze, he let out a deep sigh of remorse, and the rest of the people were able to breathe out all the time. As she felt the moisture in her fist, Bora shook her head excitedly with her bored face.

“Those elves are amazing. This battle killed nearly 5,000 human warriors, but the Elves lost almost nothing but arrows. ”

“Yes. Even knights can't be too confident about this. At least ten Knights and three or more Magic Legions.We 'll never be able to defeat them. I heard that the Dark Elves are strong and combat unlike other Elves, but I didn't believe it, so I feel like I'm getting a fresh start. ”

Natu's face was reminded of the bees. It was as if he was directly involved in the battle.

The broadcast was explosive. Beyond users asked me to keep reruns for days, but every time I watched more than 30%. Even those who had never enjoyed Beyond were so fascinated by the thrilling battle that they entered Beyond.

Users who crossed the Rugged Irish Mountains and wondered if the dungeon had been cleared are now headlong into the dungeon. It was true that the power of the Elves was frightening, but I was confident that the dungeon wouldn't break so easily.

The PDs of Virtual Vision, which were greeted by greetings in the progress of Houl Vision, as well as salaries, were congratulated with bright faces, and Hyeryun was able to secretly take 40% of the raw materials close to 2 billion won and fund the white society that she wanted with her friends.

Ares' Howl broadcaster did not stop. It revealed a fast and secure route to the land of tranquility. The route was a safe place for high-level users to get through, although there were hazards.

This video, which the twins edited and produced with detailed maps of the video taken by Ares, who passed this route directly along with the storm troops, was also close to 30%.

It was the users who were excited that Virtual and Houzza had launched a series of dungeon specialties. Numerous users have been moving rapidly towards the dungeon, moving back and forth in front of NPCs.

Hyeryun was hired as a special reporter, not only by Virtual Broadcaster to get a huge manuscript. Now we have a stable job, even in reality.

Hyeryun left the White Society's activities to three friends and took some money from Harun's share and headed to the slaughterhouse on the black market.

“Who are you?”

“My name is Henny, I'm a fan mercenary. ”

Harlan, who had not accessed the game, was curious about the identity of Hyerin who had come instead of the twins who had brought the money twice.

“Ah!”

“Captain Harun asked me to deliver this money here. ”

“Please come in. Have a cup of tea. ”

Harlan was impressed by Hyeryun's neutral appearance. Moreover, I wanted to discover Harun's secret on this occasion instead of the ever-talkative twins.

Hyeryun entered the forge office and rubbed his big eyes several times, seeing an unexpected figure. There was a familiar face.

“Are you not Nine? ”

Nine was just coming to the forge to talk about the dungeon that was broadcast yesterday.

“W-who? ”

“It's me, Hyeryun. Don't you remember? You saved my life. ”

“Ah!”

It wasn't until she heard that that she remembered Hyeryun. Last year, he rescued a few people, including Hyerin, who had come out of the barrier to do geological research because they were exhausted and collapsed in the desert.

“What a pity. So, what are you doing here? ”

With a happy face, Nine dragged Hyeryun to his seat.

“Yes, errands. I didn't expect you to be here when the commander asked me to deliver the money. ”

“Captain?”

Hyeryun, who knew that Nine was the Outer, turned to talk because she thought the answer would be longer. I was in a hurry. I had to give him the money and access Beyond.

“Yes, there is. How are you, by the way? How did you get in here? ”

Harry interrupted before Nine answered Hyerin's question. It's like we've known each other a long time.

“He's been living in Union lately. Because of the Beyond game. ”

“Really? Are you playing games, too? What about the ascent?”

“I have a situation. ”

While Harlan was getting the car ready, Nine tried to tell me what was going on. However, at that moment, the light flashed periodically on Hyeryun's watch.

“Oh no! We have to go. I think I have an urgent matter for my friends. ”

Hyeryun got up from her seat in a hurry. I think the best capsule you ordered is here. Now that I know where Nine is, I can stop by and talk when I'm free.

“Hey, Hyeryun. What if we just leave? ”

“Anyway, I'll be back. Then let's talk about the details. It's urgent.”

Hyeryun asked Harun and Nine for forgiveness with just a cup of tea and hurriedly started running toward home.

I wondered why there was an Outer Nine at the money transfer, but that's what you should ask Harun.

“Then how did he get into the gale mercenaries? Wait, what did he just say? Captain Harun? What is this? ”

A startled seagull drops his cup of tea.

‘So he wasn't a member, he was a captain? The famous gale mercenary? ’

The remaining two simply opened their mouths to each other and stared at each other for a while.
