“Uh-huh. ”

The immigration officer alternately looked at the photograph of the passport he had received and the face of the woman standing in front of him. Is this real? I didn't hear the story above... I looked down at my passport again with that in mind. Usually, if a person of this size comes, you have to be careful from the top. I didn't hear any stories today.

“What's the problem? ”

“Oh, no. ”

Valencia Sevez. The immigration inspector confirmed once again the name on her passport. Looking at the referee, Valencia hangs a pair of sunglasses on her nose. The referee looks at her pale turquoise eyes and swallows her saliva.

“W-what brings you to Korea? ”

“Business.”

Stamped on passport. Valencia takes her passport and leaves the judging board on a relaxing pace. There, her assistant, who had passed first, was waiting.

“I thought there was a problem. ”

“That Korean just acted like an asshole. ”

“You must have been surprised a lot. The master said he didn't like loud stuff, so you went in quietly so he wouldn't be exposed to the masscom on purpose, right? ”

I flew 13 hours far from Spain and arrived in Korea. But Valencia and her secretary didn't have a shoulder bag. Valencia grumbles as she puts her passport in her coat pocket.

“No matter how good the seat is, the plane is an airplane after all. You're a dick.”

“It took me too long. ”

“Lei Lung is riding a dragon, right? I'm afraid I'm gonna make a flight artifact, too. ”

“For personal use? That would be a pretty complicated and annoying procedure. ”

“I don't intend to keep the law. You can't just go public and not be seen. ”

“Do you intend to make a stealth? ”

“Isn't that just on the radar? If you're going to make a king, you don't even have to see it. ”

“As in the X-Men? ”

“That was too long ago. Why, it was in the blackpanther. ”

“Why don't you build a spaceship? ”

“If there's an alien. ”

Valencia laughed as she said that.

“Where's the car?”

“Mr. Hahn must have prepared it. ”

“Let's see how good a car you've got. ”

“Wouldn't that be Rolls-Royce? ”

“Well, that's the easiest thing to imagine. I wish it wasn't just limo. That's too sprung. ”

“You like splashing, don't you? ”

“The limo is ugly. Is it normal to like to sprout with ugly things? He's crazy.”

The two of them went to the entrance gate, having such a conversation. Connecting a pre-set SIM and turning on the phone, the assistant asked Valencia who was walking ahead.

“I didn't expect the master to go to Korea himself. ”

“I've never been here before, so I feel like tourism. ”

“You're also that interested, aren't you? ”

“Isn't it strange that there isn't? ”

Valencia laughed with an answer.

“Since I launched Bright, I've been thinking. The first person to use it is the Eastern people of this small country. ”

“What if he refuses? ”

“You can't say no. It's my artifact. ”

Saturday afternoon. The entrance gate was crowded. But none of those people recognized Valencia. The sunglasses she was wearing were not just sunglasses, they were artifacts she made herself.

“There he is. ”

Among the crowds.

Director of the Korean branch of the 'Meister’ guild. Han Seong-min was standing with a placard.

*

“As expected.”

“Yes?”

As Valencia murmurs, Han Sung Min raises her head. In front of Hanseong-min, a six-metre tall purple Rolls-Royce Phantom was showing off a huge presence. The secretary laughed, recalling the conversation she had until she came to the gate.

“But it's not a limo. ”

“It's no different. It's long.”

“Shh... Are you complaining about the car? ”

Han Seong-min asked with an uneasy expression. I dragged the carriage myself because the guild master told me to stay away from Spain. I never imagined leaving Rolls-Royce to listen to cotton.

“That would be a complaint. ”

“Exactly. That doesn't mean the master didn't take the light vehicle, does it? ”

The secretary said so and opened the back seat door.

“By the way... where can I go? ”

Han Sung Min in the driver's seat looks back.

Mystery Guild founded by Valencia, the preliminary apostle of Iron Made. This guild is different from other Hunter guilds. To be precise, the others are ‘hunters' belonging to the guild.

Hunters of the Maister Guild do not explore Abyss or engage in monster-fighting. Their only preoccupation was the processing and production of artifacts. That's why the guild members referred to themselves as‘ artisans’ rather than ‘hunters’, and their recognition of belonging to the Maister Guild was a testament to that skill.

Hansung Minh, who held the wheel, was the head of the Korean branch of the Mystery Guild and was the most famous artisan in Korea. He was never a driver or a great man, but he had to catch the wheel himself as long as the opponent was his opponent.

But there was nothing I had heard in advance. I only heard about coming to Korea, and I don't know why. Maybe it's something to do with Bright launching...

“Baek Hyun.”

The name came out of Valencia's mouth.

“I want to see him. ”

Han Seong-min was not an idiot. He recalls an interview Valencia had a week ago.

“No way he...”

“That's right. The first owner of Bright will do it. ”

Valencia replied in a relaxed voice. When I first heard about Baek Hyun, I looked up the relevant footage. From that point on Valencia was preparing Bright's launch.

Artifact is an object after all. Let's make a better weapon and defense gear. If the person who uses it does not handle it properly, it is only to hang a pearl necklace around the pig's neck.

If so, why not give it to an outstanding hunter who has already proven his skills? I just couldn't. Not to deter another monarch as a preliminary apostle. I don't care about the monarch, Ironmaid, or Valencia.

It was just a personal emotion.

I spit in my face, but all hunters are ‘empowered’ by the monarch. If they were not given the level and power through the contract, they would be nothing more than weak human beings, not hunters.

But Baek Hyun. What about the Oriental? He did not contract with any of those monarchs. Yet incredibly strong. The performance shown by Abyss or Thunderbird Defeat was such that he could not be regarded as a human without a contract.

“I miss you. ”

Valencia laughs as she looks through piercings filled with eardrums. The apostles and preliminary apostles did not even bear in mind in the first place. After all, they have received divinity from the monarch, and if they do not receive it, they have a great power that does not require artifact.

Its value as a material is different. A hunter who only used the power he received by contracting with the monarch, and a man who gained his own power. Valencia wondered how Baek Hyun would use the artifact he created with all his heart.

“Please tell me beforehand...”

“Surprise.”

When Han Sung Min muttered, Valencia giggled and laughed. Han Seong-min sighed and picked up his phone. Baek Hyun, Baek Hyun.

‘It's tricky...’

He was famous, but he was a difficult person to contact.

I don't know if Baek Hyun himself has that awareness.

It's been four months since he appeared like a comet. Yeah, it's only four months. He really did not have any foresight, but four months ago he showed up at the Abyss of Huangcheon to perform. A few days later, a thunderbird was subjugated in the uncircumcised area south of Abyss, near the residential area of Belfar.

Only two performances were revealed.

But it's too much. Defeat the Abyss of Flower Fountain monster by yourself? There are quite a few hunters who can do that. Subdue Thunderbirds? The same applies. But what if it's a human being who hasn't made any promises to any monarch?

Nothing. He's not human. Everyone will know. Baek Hyun knew that he was a human being and something other than a human being. A human being who had lived as a plant man for five years suddenly opened his eyes and did such a ridiculous thing. It's suspicious, no matter who sees it.

Conspiracy theorists have already established the identity of Baek Hyun and instituted various conspiracies. Most of them, of course, were absurd, but none of the things that linked his existence to Abyss sounded quite plausible.

All of Masscom's attempts to contact him several times were abandoned. Just a week ago, there were various articles about the incident in Gangnam Station, but no explanatory interviews were held.

So it's tricky. I don't even know who I am, but I rarely do any outside activities. I don't know how else to make contact.

“Is there a problem? ”

“Ah... yes. A little.”

After hearing the story of Han Sung Min, Valencia burst into laughter.

“Do you know his house? ”

“That's... good. ”

“Find out. I'm going to the hotel now. ”

“Got it.”

I wasn't impatient. It was also because I had no objections in mind. And I even came to Korea myself. I could do whatever it took to get home.

*

Having been here for quite some time, Abyss hasn't changed. The walls were still high, and there were quite a lot of people. I wanted people to recognize it and not make a fuss, but fortunately it didn't happen.

Hwacheon Abyss Basement. Shelter for evacuation for the worst was also the role of the parking lot. Of course, it was not a place for anyone to use it, but only one reserve apostle in Korea and the daughter of the Abyss Administrative Director, Suu Kyi Suu Kyi, deserved it.

After parking, I climbed the elevator and received a waiting list. Baek Hyun smiled as he recalled four months ago. That's when I first came here. The excitement at the time was quite good, even if it came to mind now.

“Remember what I said? ”

“Yes.”

Sarah nods.

“Tutorial. Whatever you do, it's in my heart. I told you never to choose a monarch, right? ”

“Yes, absolutely not. ”

“... do you really need to do that? ”

Essence raises his head.

“Contracting with a monarch isn't bad, is it? ”

“You don't have to. ”

It's suspicious from the contract. The serpent of regeneration showed considerable favor to Baek Hyun, and even though he came directly to Essence and took care of her. Baek Hyun did not unconditionally think of the serpent of regeneration as a ‘good’ monarch.

Didn't the serpent of regeneration himself say in the first place? The monarch called himself a hedgehog. He came to Abyss only for his own enjoyment, and fought with other creeps. One day, the serpent of regeneration may fly again just for his own enjoyment.

The same is true of other monarchs. Each one has something to hope for, and the hunters and apostles who signed them... are, in the end, only the monarch's paws and puppets. Seongcolony and Essence have already met while they have a contract. Baek Hyun didn't want Sarah to make such a deal.

“The best part is, you just don't do anything. ”

Then some monarchs will know.

First of all, the serpent of regeneration knows Sarah's existence.

Maybe Highroad knows it too.

‘Jin Wei, what is he doing these days? ’

After Carpago broke in during the fight with Yellieun. I completely lost touch with Jin Wei. I never got a call from him, nor did Baek Hyun contact Jin Wei. Maybe Jean Wei will come back in contact with you for this. If so.

At that time, Jean Wei did not have much of an emotion for not helping himself. I never trusted him in the first place.

Separately from that. If you observe it and try to stick to it again, you don't have to kill it.

“Mr. Kim Sarah.”

“I call you. ”

Baek Hyun stabbed Sarah in the side.

Sarah's name eventually became Kim Sarah.
