Main Character Hides His Strength

In order to get to the habitat, we have to cross the city of Ixion.

The city was destroyed, but survivors dug trenches and tunnels under the ruins under Marklard and set up a second home.

Kim Sung-cheol approached the area thinking of a trench where so many people could not keep their feet up.

A month later, there is no one left in the trenches.

After walking along the trenches for a long time, Kim Sung-cheol was able to meet an old man.

He leans against the squeaking couch, wearing a faded wizard's robe. Kim Sung-cheol stared at the wrong spot where Kim Sung-cheol missed when he came to see if he had already lost his sight.

When Kim Sung-cheol asked him why he wouldn't leave here, the old man said,

“I've already left my hometown once. That's how I knew for sure. Abandoning your home to an old man is a waste of a lifetime together. ”

It was like telling someone else's story.

He zips his eyes shut and rests comfortably on the chair.

A few homuncluses wander under the old man's feet, noticing. When I saw the clothes I was wearing, I was cleaning or cleaning traffic in the city of Ixion in the past.

Kim Sung-cheol left the old man behind and went forward.

Soon, Kim Sung-cheol was able to meet a group of soldiers.

He was a soldier of Markorade.

They said they were left in Ixion to search for remaining documents and usable resources, and that Markorade had already led the elite and the outcasts of the Eastern Alliance to find safe ground in the Fall and set out west.

“We will be leaving soon. ”

Kim Sung-cheol said good-bye to them and continued to walk forward.

Soon you reach the end of the trench.

The goose that only had a thumb was large enough to raise its head one day.

“It's kind of useless. ”

Bertelkia said.

“When I first came here, it was a pretty good city. There's nothing left now. ”

“… I see. ”

Kim Sung-cheol suddenly thought about the beautiful Vestiares who lived in this city.

What did she think when she destroyed the city she had built in a single day?

Perhaps it won't be solved forever.

Kim Sung-cheol scattered his meaningless thoughts for a moment and now looked up at the living creature in front of him.

“Let's get started. ”

It was then.

“Huh?"

Vertelgia shivers lightly.

Kim Sung-cheol could soon find out why.

A book appeared before Kim Sung-cheol's group.

“Fake? It's you again? ”

Bertelkia bites harshly.

It looked the same in Kim Sung-cheol's eyes, but it seemed to be discerning in Bertelgia's eyes.

Kim Sung-cheol listened to Bertelkia and guessed the identity of the book that appeared to him.

"He appeared before me before the destruction of Ixion, and appeared at the World Congress and disappeared immediately. ’

And one more thing.

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes reminded me of a depressing light.

Another book I met at the Tower of Eunza was a phrase that brushed his brains and sold his heart.

[I think he's probably in 49.]

It is a secret that must never be revealed.

At least not in front of Bertelgia.

Anyway, now the book in question appears in front of Kim Sung-cheol again.

There seems to be some business.

Kim Sung-cheol stared at the book and asked in a bold tone.

“What do you want? ”

The book then moved the fuselage up and down as if to greet him, but spoke in a more polite and girly tone.

“Hello again. I apologize for not being able to greet you at the meeting. ”

The short book greeted Kim Sung-cheol and moved to the same height as Bertelkia in Kim Sung-cheol's pocket.

“I came here today not because I have something to see with you, but because I have something to see with that duo over there -- no, I have something to see with a fake. ”

“What? Fake?! ”

Bertelkiah sprints out of his pocket.

After returning to its original large form, Bertelgia struggled with the same shape of the book, lightly pounding.

“You're a fake! ”

“ ……. ”

When Bertelgia comes out strong, the book in question slightly leans away from Bertelgia as if it were a smoking gun.

“Bertelkia, let's calm down and listen to him for a second. ”

Kim Sung-cheol mediated between the two.

I didn't take Bertelgia's side because I felt that the book of riddles did not appear here maliciously.

“There's no need to listen to such a fake word! ”

Vertelgia shivers from side to side, excited to be unlike her.

The halves of the bandage, which Marrakia left behind, slip apart. A hole left by the assassin is revealed where the bandage fell.

The book was staring at the wound of Bertelgia.

“You can't do creationist quests with that body. ”

The book says:

It was an assertive tone.

“What do you mean you know a fake? ”

Bertelkia gives in.

“You're not gonna make it. With your body losing its integrity. ”

“Excuse me?”

“If you want to test it, try it yourself. I'm not gonna stop you. ”

After saying that, the book turned around and turned to Kim Sung-cheol.

“The choice is yours. Whether or not to perform the Creator Quest. ”

I can feel it in my attitude and voice that I'm not going to deal with Bertelkia anymore.

Bertelgia didn't want to deal with the book either.

She went into Kim Sung-cheol's pocket and said in a furious voice.

“Let's just ignore this fake and get inside the living room quickly. ”

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol nodded his head and left.

However, as he passed the book, Kim Sung-cheol turned his head and looked at the side of the book.

“Do you have anything else to say? ”

The book shakes lightly.

“No.”

“Then why are you here? ”

“To deal with any problems. You know, you're extremely dangerous...”

At that moment, Bertelkia suddenly opens her mouth, interrupting the words of the book.

“Just ignore it. You must be bored without friends. ”

“W-what?! ”

Oddly, the book was sensitive to Bertelgia's sarcasm.

Kim Sung-cheol jumped to the first gigolo, thinking there was nothing good about the two of them anymore.

It was the same as any other structure in the cockpit.

Opening the stone door to the cockpit, the old dust pile unfolds in front of both of them.

“Oh, Hosadama. You're absolutely right. He suddenly appears at a good time and throws a candle. ”

“Ignore him.”

“I keep worrying when I try to ignore it. It's him, it's him, and everybody looks exactly like me. ”

Bertelkia says so, running out of his pocket, he adds, flying into another book in the middle of the cockpit.

“Even this one! ”

Kim Sung-cheol stared at Bertelkia and said in a bold voice.

“It must have been your father's. ”

“That's right. But you never know when you're gonna wake up feeling dead. The awkwardness of sophisticated counterparts threatening the authentic position! ”

“Reminds me of Dongdaemun. ”

I accidentally remembered the old days.

In the news, even the king of mainland luxury engineers admire the talents of counterfeiters.

“Dongdaemun?”

“No, it's nothing. That's the story of the world over there. ”

“Hmm…”

“And I've had similar experiences. ”

“What experience? ”

“The Apocalypse sold my name. ”

“Oh, it's a little bit like that, by the way. Not exactly the same! ”

Bertelkia comfortably rolled around the inside of the cockpit and sat down to Kim Sung-cheol's shoulders, shouting in a loud voice.

“Anyway, let's get started! Great Creator Quests! ”

“I'm not as energetic as you. ”

“Sometimes I have to work hard! ”

Kim Sung-cheol smiled deeply and began the quest for the creationist hidden in the beast.

As always, a creationist's quest requires a test.

A hidden shelf emerges and a number of sleeping alchemical ingredients are placed on the shelf.

Kim Sung-cheol stared at Bertelkia.

This is because only Bertelgia, the guide to the creationist, can provide the correct answer.

A faint glow rises from Bertelkia's body.

“Hmph. The final recipe for these alchemical ingredients...”

It was then.

Vertelgia, rising into the air, suddenly shakes violently and falls.

Luckily, it was balanced and floated in the sky, but it had never been seen until now.

Bertelkia!

Kim Sung-cheol stared at Bertelkia in surprised eyes and asked.

“Are you all right, Bertelkia? ”

“Yeah, I'm fine. What's wrong with you all of a sudden? ”

Vertelgia says it's fine, but the hole in her bandage seems to have grown larger than ever.

Bertelgia smiles freshly, then rises back to her original position and starts looking for the recipe hidden within her again. Soon, she finds the true recipe that the Stranger wants and unfolds in front of Kim Sung-cheol.

“Ta-da! The archer's stone is what I made this time! ”

Fortunately, Bertelgia was functioning properly.

Moreover, the recipe was lacking, so I stayed in front of the guy who needed it from all the ingredients on the shelf and showed him what he needed.

“As you can see, I'm fine! Just make it quick! I've waited so long for this moment. ”

There doesn't seem to be any problem from here.

But I was annoyed.

Kim Sung-cheol thought so.

The wound that pierced Bertelgia's entire body was engraved on the hidden page as well.

“ ……. ”

Bertelkiah looks at Kim Sung-cheol's ignorant face, then suddenly leans in and says to him,

“Why are you making that face? Suddenly you don't have confidence? Do you need practice?”

“No, I don't need that. ”

Kim Sung-cheol began to refine the ingredients by looking at the recipes played by Bertelkia.

Alchemy itself was not that difficult.

Regular behavior that is not too difficult for Kim Sung-cheol, trained in cooking, even though he demands a lot of hands and sophisticated hand skills and measurements by experience.

It wasn't Alchemy itself that distracted him, it was a book I met outside.

The book said Bertelkia could not carry out the Creationist quest.

It still is.

Bertelkia is struggling to stay airborne, either from the shock she was in earlier.

“Why are you still? Come on, alchemists, be gentle. Don't worry about me! ”

Bertelkia felt Kim Sung-cheol's gaze and said it was fine, but she could see Kim Sung-cheol.

That Bertelgia is doing too much.

‘Bertelgia.’

I wondered.

Can I continue to do this?

because there is one more thing that Bertelgia has to do after this coupling is over.

A transfer of knowledge contained in a book.

It seems to be giving Bertelgia a lot more trouble than finding the hidden recipe.

Maybe there are irreversible consequences.

Kim Sung-cheol stopped breathing for a long time, and his eyes reminded me of an unparalleled horror.

It was then.

“You're not reluctant to hear that fake word, are you? ”

Bertelkiah grumbles.

I got it right.

But Kim Sung-cheol couldn't say anything.

because it is true.

“I'm fine, so keep going. ”

“But Bertelgia. ”

Kim Sung-cheol turned his head to point out that Bertelkia was unwell.

But Bertelgia's attitude is strange.

It was strange.

A book with no face.

It makes me sad to see that book.

“... just stop. ”

Vertelgia trembles slightly.

“I'll never speak to you again. ”

I could tell at a glance that I wasn't serious.

But on the other hand, I could feel it.

Bertelgia's commitment to the Creationist quest,

No, be prepared.

“Is that how much you want your body back? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked with a different voice.

Bertelkia stared at Sung-cheol for a long time and then waved up and down.

“… Yes. ”

After confirming the answer, Kim Sung-cheol closed his eyes.

His eyes opened again with an unwavering will, as always.

Kim Sung-cheol's hands were busy moving.

The bold alchemist's touch, not his hesitation, sweeps, selects, and processes the materials.

Numerous instruments played their part under the command of skilled alchemists, and the materials on the shelf began to form.

Bertelkia glanced at Kim Sung-cheol, who became an alchemist.

One scene warmly filled her heart.

I saw a man once called Ekhardt stir the spatula silently for his family.

It looked completely different, but another man was stirring the spatula. For yourself, not for anyone.

A bright light comes out of the spatula.

Bertelgia felt her heart pounding and slowly approached Kim Sung-cheol's back.

Inside the kiln is a glowing pink stone.

Archer's Stone.

Another key item for the Creator Quest has been crafted.

Deep within her body, she felt an infinite force contrary to her will and accepted it without a sense of rejection.

To provide a corresponding reward and new guidance to the man who fulfilled his father's quest.

“Yes..? ”

Suddenly, Bertelgia's vision shakes as if it were an earthquake.

“Huh…? ”

Vertelgia suddenly rumbles heavily in the air.

"Huh...? Why am I doing this...? ’

Only then could Bertelgia notice.

The warm force within the body escaping through the ugly holes created by the assassin.

I hear someone's voice from a distance.

[Broken bowl can contain nothing.]

It was a strict voice that did not contain the extent of the words.

Bertelkia seems to know the owner of that voice somehow.

Broken bowl? ’

I remembered the image of a girl in a blurred vision.

She was a doll-like girl with blond, blue eyes. She holds the hand of a woman of her own hair, and stands at the door with light streaming in.

The girl glances back at the door with a cool look, and leaves the door with the woman holding her hand.

That's the last scene Bertelkia saw.

After seeing the scene, Bertelgia's vision is plunged into a sudden darkness.

“Bertelkia!”

Kim Sung-cheol received Bertelkia, who crashed screaming urgently.

“Bertelkia!”

There was no rhythm in Bertelgia.

Like you're a normal book.

Kim Sung-cheol's body trembled once.

Something was about to break inside of him.

It was then.

“Don't panic. ”

Something appeared in front of Sung-cheol Kim.

A book that resembles Bertelgia.

“You... you...? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked with a trembling voice.

The book looked directly at Kim Sung-cheol and Bertelkia and said with an office tone like a machine.

“Within the forecast range. Please stay for a moment. ”

A bright and warm light flowed from the book that revealed itself as No. 49, extending towards Bertelkia lying on the palm of Kim Sung-cheol's hand.

Unbelievable things have happened.

The holes in Bertelgia's body that received the waves of light began to change on their own.

In a surprise, Kim Sung-cheol could hear.

The distinctive voice of a book that resembles Bertelgia.

“Bertelgia 49. Conduct emergency repair for unit 153. ”
