I am Noble

00689 Coming to the Stolen Land

Good job, the auction is about to start.

It was a long struggle.

After nearly two months, the public officials who succeeded in the attack were finally relaxed by the voice of the commander coming through the microphone. Soon, the party window began to spread with greetings of celebration and encouragement.

- Wow, that was hard. But we got him.

- Ugh, considering the time it really took to catch this guy. I've been crying my eyes out for my wife, for real.

- It's the end of the century. I caught the last boss of this expansion pack, and now something...

- What are you doing? We have to keep attacking and collecting them. If you don't want to be left behind as soon as you start the next expansion pack.

Yu Jiwoong leans back, turning his head. I opened my mouth with the expression that the chairman who was sitting next to me was cool.

“You did a great job, bro. ”

“Kwon Jae, you too have suffered a lot. ”

“No, you've been through a lot. Thank you so much for the deal. ”

We're running last on the damage meter, but let's skip that part. It's not a long story, is it?

Young-woong looks at the collapsed monster on the monitor with an impressive face.

“I got you. He was the best Raid ever. ”

“I see.”

“I don't think there's ever been a more spectacular raid in my life. ”

Jang Jang-jae was about to burst out of laughter and let it go. No, what? You've been racing with more spectacles than you're playing in real life, and you've been doing that with a mouse click for two months?

“Bro, start the auction. Your temp's out. ”

“I don't know if it's going to be a close point. Can't you just buy it in cash? ”

“Bro, then you're blurry again. ”

“Okay, okay. ”

Ji-woong grumbled and came to the auction.

The regular game attack unit, Guild Raid, advances the item auction to points. Pay points according to the rate of participation in the raid, and use accumulated points as game currency to enter the auction. Of course, it doesn't matter how rich you are in reality, how hard you participated in the game.

- Oh, I got it!

- Oh, Hamanes. Congratulations.

― Thank you.

Healer Hamannes gets the item she wants and is happy to run. It wasn't equipment that affected the game, but it was a symbol that could boast of clearing the dungeon. Every time I cleared it, it was something that other crew members could have over time.

Yeong-woong also sent a congratulatory message without pity. Hamanese, a foreign student, has long shared gaming friendships with Yusuf in the guild at the same age.

Sometimes I have voice chats and conversations, but my Korean is also very fluent, so it does not interfere with my communication at all. I don't know if I'm a foreigner just by hearing my voice.

‘It was my dream to study in Korea and become an excellent crystallographer. ’

He did not ask which country he was from, nor did Hamannes tell him. I have never met him in person, but Hamannes and Eukwang have built up quite a friendship.

The unsuccessful retainer showed envy.

"Sounds good. I'll have some next time. But I don't know if there's gonna be a next time.

"Heh heh. Good job. I wish you all the tea you want.

Young-woong felt something strange.

What do you mean all of a sudden? Fold the Gamms? "

"Yes, I think I should go back to my home country.

Why all of a sudden? You didn't get a scholarship? I told you to stop playing games.

Of course I'm joking. Hamanes solved the stress of distant life through games, but never missed a full scholarship because he had good grades. When I ask you why you relieve stress with games, I remember Yu Ji-woong got used to it for a while because he said 'a hobby that doesn't cost money.'

I'm not quitting studying. I'll be back.

What is the matter? Maybe I can help.

Thank you for saying that. But it's not something you can help.

You're not giving up on studying, are you? You said you had to be a great crystallographer and support your family.

Never give up. I'm just taking a break.

…….

You can study again later. But maybe it's time to focus on studying.

Hamannes formally said goodbye to the public. The crew shuddered to hear that they were leaving the game for a while. Eugyeong followed him to the front of the Bank of Augrima to escort him out.

"Hamannes, I don't know what's going on, but I wish you well.

Thank you. I hope you will be a grass item next time. I'm gonna leave the character here.

Don't log out?

Yes. A little…. Anyway, let's meet again in one piece!

― Hamanes says goodbye to you. “See you later! ”

When Yusuf felt slightly ominous, the priest waved his hand as he had always been a stable heel for Hamanese's character. Soon, the character became ‘out of place'. Young-woong sits there for a long time, lighting a campfire.

“Bro, does Hamannes really fold? ”

“Huh? No. Wait a minute. Something's going on in the house. He's going home. ”

“Could it be about money? The Hamanese family seems pretty poor.... ”

Young-woong was a little bitter. If it's about money, you can help yourself as much as you want, but you can't reveal who you are. Hamanes will have plenty of ways to help you indirectly if you tell him more details, but there's not much he can do, since he rarely tells you about himself.

“Let's take a look at Hamannes. ”

“…… No. That's it. You'll figure it out. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

The loneliness of the supreme ruler. Jiu Woong has very few friends. My friends who were originally there couldn't reach me one day. She did not reject him, but her friends distanced themselves when social disparities broke out.

No matter how I met him, my friends felt uncomfortable with him. Since he was a young man who had never lived in society, he felt burdened by his friend who had gone too far than he was proud to have such a great friend. Now that they are old, it will be different, but with such a clumsy attitude, Yu Ung also did not contact him naturally.

Anshul is the only one who can say he is a friend now. Other acquaintances are not friends, but subordinates. People find it more convenient to enter his subordinates than to treat him as a friend.

I want to be his subordinate, subordinate, contractor or in any way, even though I can be enough of a friend. It seemed comfortable. Unfortunately, I have never met anyone who can comfortably share their minds with the richest man in the world.

Despite frequent off-site clubs, such as bicycle clubs, no matter how hard they tried to hide, people would notice that he was very rich. He even recognized that he was Janice's assailant commander.

But the game is different. If he doesn't reveal his identity, in the game, he's just one ordinary gamer.

In the game, you can catch monsters, target dungeons, and purely share your mind by striking swords and magic. That's why I didn't know it was more immersive. It was the only place I could make an innocent friend, without any pressure. Even if the thread of fate that connects online breaks easily.

After a long time, Yusuf stopped by the faculty university. It was a quiet visit with minimal security. It was a sudden visit, and the principal greeted me with a cold sweat.

“Welcome, Chairman. What brings you... …. ”

“I just wanted to see how school is going. Are good students attractive? ”

“Of course. Our school is now full of talented people from all over the world. ”

The band was ranked fifth on the World University Rankings, a terrifying rise considering the time when it was not even in the 100th place. With no tuition at all, a state-of-the-art laboratory, and a bright career path after graduation in collaboration with the Janis Research Complex, you and many other talented people have gathered around the world.

So the department of musical engineering boasts scenery that makes the racial market immersed. Excellent talent needed a good professor, and the musical choir did not save money and support to invite foreign masters, which stimulated existing professors to have a healthy persistence in their development.

“I don't want good students to give up their studies because of financial problems. ”

“Of course, all the boarding and dining options are complimentary. We also offer some living expenses if necessary. It's an environment where anyone can literally continue to study as long as they have a body. This is all because of you. Suddenly, why did you say that.... ”

“No, it's just that ”

Yu Yu Ung was cool for no reason. After talking more and more, I left the dean's office.

He walked the campus. I can see students rushing by. I was one of them until last year. When I think about it, I feel sad for no reason.

I didn't know it very well when I was a student, but after stepping back from the position of the graduate, it seems that I didn't know it very well. Our school was so small, there were so many foreign students and professors in it, our school was so lively…….

‘I didn't give you anything but money. ’

Soong-woong was pleased to rank fifth in the world university rating in less than a few years. (No.1 in Crystallography) He was recognized worldwide for his hands-on presence. Proud is nothing compared to bold.

At that moment, a loud noise grabs his ankle. The students gathered around the stadium. Seeing everyone holding a picket, they must be complaining.

“Israel bombed the Gaza again! Many Palestinians have been sacrificed for their actions in a monster-free zone! We must stop this carnage! ”

‘Anyway, the neighborhood is still noisy. ’

In other words, Ji-woong turned around. Israel and many other places around the globe where monsters do not reside exist. Because of this, Israel bombed Palestinian territory without provoking monsters. The existence of monsters has obliterated warfare between countries, but it has not obliterated the fighters themselves.

“Our school that carried dreams in Palestine was victimized after leaving a book and running to their homeland to resist their genocide! This is unforgivable! ”

Boom.

For some reason, an uncertain anxiety struck him. He stops unknowingly and turns away. I think I'm in my mid-twenties. Behind the statue was a young man smiling brightly on a large flat card. Then the phrase on the picket card with the students caught my attention.

"Rescue our friend Hamannes.

We have fixed it so that Hamanes has not logged out.
