The Live

A spacious room with open ceilings overlooking the sky.

Like a small playground, a large room was a space for only one person.

It was the clan leader of the Skyscraper Clan and the first to pass into the underworld, Arhan.

“What's the matter with you, Elvin? ”

Arhan's face, looking at the fifty lines, seemed to have just turned thirty.

It was not just the blonde hair and beard that made his body feel like it had a golden flush.

Occasionally, there were those who had a peculiar color of magic. Most of them had blue magic, whereas Arhan's magic was golden.

That's why they call it the Golden Rule. He was one of the best in the outside world.

“Can't you even look at the Clan Face? You're too harsh.”

“I didn't know you liked me so much today. ”

“I didn't say I liked it. ”

“I know. I'm just saying. Sit there.”

Arhan points to a couch situated in the corner of a large room. Then he got up and sat down to face each other.

“Anything to drink? ”

“I'm fine.”

“I could use a drink. I just got a little sore. ”

Arhan raises up a small bottle that he left on the table, saying. At that moment, the contents cooled down as the dew formed in the bottle that had been warmly cooled.

Gulp -

Arhan passes the beer in the bottle down his throat. Soon after, I emptied the contents half empty and asked.

“So, what do you want? ”

“You're still straightforward. ”

“I'm not in the mood to talk to you for long. You don't think that's the same thing? ”

Stand up straight. I knew that Arhan, Elvin, and each other hated each other.

“It's nice to be cool. ”

“That's my charm. ”

“I have a suggestion for you. ”

In Elvin's words, Arhan takes the bottle of beer back to his mouth.

“Tell me.”

“I want to create a team of agents. under my authority. ”

“Agents?”

Arhan looks surprised.

I wondered why Elvin was so interested in the planner.

When Arhan's expression came to mind, Elvin told me a story about Yoon Jae and the regular person.

Finally, Elvin adds a persuasive statement.

“I don't know how they got their quests, but this is the first time they showed up with quests related to the intermediate region. I think it's worth creating a team of architects to investigate the region involved. ”

“Hmm……. ”

I wasn't wrong.

Quests related to the intermediate region. It was a very attractive lure.

It was a hundred times better to develop a definite area than to deploy people to areas that were never meant to be developed.

But…….

“This is going to be hard. ”

“Why?”

“You know, right? Agents are all high-end personnel. ”

“I don't know. ”

The agents were all skilled rankers or sub-rankers.

Typically, a team of planners consisted of a minimum of five and a maximum of ten. Saving that number of rankers wasn't easy.

Even within the Five Clans, the team of architects usually only had one or two.

“Agents are rare talent in five of our clans. But there was an extermination a while back. ”

“You mean extinct? ”

“Yes. That's why we're running out of agents. In that situation, you now have a team of agents at the request of the person who is less than a year old? It's hard.”

Elvin's expression distorted in Arhan's reply.

I didn't think he would do as he asked, but I didn't think he would have this excuse.

Can't you do that? ’

“But……. ”

Once again, the story is reversed.

“One thing, we don't have a choice. ”

“ ……? ”

“Would you like to hear? ”

A meaningful smile spreads over Arhan's face.

Immediately, Elvin nods at the offer.

“…… I'll do that. ”

“It's a lot easier to answer than I thought. ”

“What's there to hesitate about? And……. ”

Chuck...

Elvin stood up and looked down at Arhan.

“It's so obvious what you want. So I was relieved. ”

“Is that so?"

“Ten days after departure. ”

Elvin turns around and walks out of the room.

“Please make all arrangements before then. ”

Gurgle-

Boom!

Elvin closes the door roughly and leaves the room.

Arhan looks forward to Elvin's visit and finishes the beer that was left in the bottle.

Gulp, gulp-

“Khh.”

The beer tasted sweet.

Arhan mutters, looking at the empty bottle.

“The key……. ”

* * *

The next day, Royce summoned Yun Jae and normal.

It was the first time she had called two of them alone without Elvin. Yoon Jae looked around and asked.

“What about Mr. Elvin? ”

“I don't have it. I'm going somewhere. ”

“You must be busy. ”

“For not telling me what's going on. Well, obviously. ”

“It's because of me. ”

“You know.”

Royse replies, "What makes sense?"

Yoon Jae and Jung entered the living room in the middle of her room. Within the Skyscraper clan, each executive had his own room, which was fairly modest and short compared to Elvin's.

“What's missing? The room is decorated without the intention of having guests. ”

“You're welcome to sit on the floor. ”

“I'm sorry. Please, sit down. I'll be right back. ”

“About what? ”

Despite Yoon Jae's question, Royce went into the other room without sitting down. I think I left something behind.

Royse, who had been in the room for a while, comes out soon. She had a little box in her hand.

“I was asked by Elvin. Give it to both of you. ”

“To us? ”

“Yes, the reward for both of you, in fact, has been established for quite some time. Looks like Elvin took it this time. ”

“But for that reward... ”

“I don't know the details. I was just delivered. I don't want to meet the Clan in person. ”

Royce gave it to Yoon Jae and Jung as if to just accept it.

Yoon Jae opened his heart. Inside were two necklaces.

‘Item?’

Yoon Jae's eyes glistened, looking at the shape of the item.

The two things that determine the value of an item were the rank and shape.

High-ranking, easy-to-carry rings and necklace-shaped items could be worthwhile even if they were low-grade.

Now, the item Lois gave me was in the form of a necklace.

Yoon Jae picked up one of the necklaces and held it in her hand.

“The two necklaces are specially crafted by the White Top Clan, famous for crafting extraordinary items. It would be equivalent to the yearly budget of a big, dizzy clan just to spend on making one. ”

“I can't believe you just said that. ”

Normally, he said with a shrugged face, holding the necklace in his hand.

A big clan's annual budget? How do you know what it is?

“It... will be about 50,000 gold. ”

“Oh, Oman? ”

Iron -

Normally, he was surprised and dropped the necklace in his hand on the ground.

Then I was surprised again, carefully picking up the necklace and placing it on my hand.

“Then there are two…… 100,000 gold? Y-you think it's that expensive? ”

“That's what the money is. It's probably worth more than that. ”

“Can I take this? ”

“Your accomplishments were worth more than that. You don't have to be burdened by the conclusion of a coalition of five clans and dozens of others. ”

50,000 per head.

In total, 100,000 gold.

It was a tremendous amount. Even in a large clan of 10,000 people, a year is worth two items.

Moreover, the clan that created it is the White Top Clan which is best known for crafting items.

The value was difficult to translate into money.

Yoon Jae and the regular checked the item with a trembling mind.

‘Emotions.’

[Necklace of Ghosts]

Rank: B +

# Spend Magic Power, 'Skill? Ghostification' available.

# Perform all physical damage while in a ghostly state.

# Cannot do any physical damage while in Ghostification.

[Celestial Dragon]

Rank: B +

# Storable horsepower.

# Summon Celestial Dragon Armor, a magical armor that absorbs damage through its stored magic power.

# Duration is determined by the stored magical power.

The two necklaces were of the same grade.

All were quite high with B +. Above all, the necklace-shaped item will never be outmatched by a class A item.

This was a top-rated item that even the craziest rankers couldn't get easily. It's a treasure to keep the lights on in the eyes of a large clan.

"Necklace of Ghosts and Celestial Dragons..." ’

Yoon Jae and the regular, who confirmed both effects, exchanged their gaze.

Two necklaces. Which of these will be divided according to their respective choices.

“Choose first. ”

“Me?”

“Most of the work was done by my brother. Actually, I did something other than follow. ”

Normally, he didn't think he deserved these items.

The reason they acknowledged the work of two people in the coalition was because they had discovered the devil and cut down the seeds by informing them of the existence of the seeds in advance.

The result was that hundreds and tens of millions of people had prevented a huge war that might have killed them.

Even though the two necklaces were worth hundreds of thousands of gold, they were nothing compared to their achievements.

And most of all, Yoon Jae did. Normally, he thought he could be included because he followed Yoon Jae.

“Well, why bother? ”

Yoon Jae caught the Celestial Dragons and handed them over to the Regent.

“I have a horseman's armor anyway. Relatively, you lack the defensive power compared to your offensive power. ”

The two items were similarly but extremely fragmented.

Necklace of Ghost Evasion and Celestial Dragons Defense.

Among them, the style that suits Yoon Jae was avoidance. The line of defenses was enough for a cavalry.

The ability to ghost penetrates all physical damage.

Depending on the use, it could have been much more effective than the ability of the defense family.

“That's a good choice. I thought Yun Jae's style was more like avoidance than defense. ”

Yoon Jae's fighting style was far from defensive.

After passive defense, he was more of a stylish and diverse pattern of fighting than an attack.

It was just a horseman's armor, a skill he used as his main force right away.

While the Cavalry could have been the best shield to use, Yoon Jae preferred to use the Cavalry to boost his ability in air combat.

Value varies greatly depending on who uses the same skill.

In that regard, items with embedded ghosting skills will trigger more ways of fighting.

Yoon Jae wore a necklace of ghosts without any worries. Then he pushed the necklace inside his clothes, preventing it from being seen and coming out.

The good thing about the item was this:

If the skill was embedded, it was not necessary to explain it, as it was clear to me what the skill was.

S-

When I applied magic to the necklace, Yoon Jae's entire body was completely erased from existence.

To the extent that Yoon Jae's consciousness reaches.

The clothes he wears, the sword on his waist.

Everything felt like its existence had been erased from the world.

The amount of magical power that escaped was never small. Ghostification was not a skill that could last that long.

But…….

Pod-

Yoon Jae stretched his fist toward the wall right next to him.

Originally, the hole should be pierced or collapsed.

But there was no sound.

Instead of making a sound, Yoon Jae's hand went through the wall.

Pod-

Yoon Jae recovered his fist in shock.

I thought it would feel good, but I was surprised to see my fist go through the wall.

“Is that a phantomization? ”

“I think so. ”

“That's amazing. It's like it's a ghost. ”

“It's a bit of a nuisance. ”

“What do you mean, bother?”

“It should be difficult to use.... ”

I can see what kind of skill it is.

But I felt like I had a feeling about how to use it.

‘Magic power consumes more than I thought, but it's only a matter of time before the projection takes place. ’

During the process of ghostification, the physical form could be transmitted willingly.

During that time, Yoon Jae was unaffected by any physical form. Not only was it physically damaged, but it was impossible to do so.

It is literally like the existence disappears.

‘The absence of existence means little in battle with magic. Transmitting physical damage is also difficult to see in battles between those who use magic. ’

Soon, Yoon Jae was deep in thought.

A plan to use ghostification in real combat. I started thinking about it.

“Bro, bro? ”

“Huh?"

“What's wrong with you all of a sudden? Is there a problem? Should I change it?”

“No, no. ”

Yoon Jae stopped thinking and got up.

“Better to move yourself than think with your head. ”

“You're leaving soon? ”

Royse asked as if he was sorry to see Yoon Jae get up from his seat.

Elvin wasn't there, so she was lying around all day by herself.

“Yes, thank you very much. Thank you."

“I have something to say in return. It's not even from us. ”

“I know you can have this, too, thanks to you two. ”

“Thank you for saying that. ”

Yoon Jae, who last said hello, left Royse's room. After that, the regular stalker pulled the necklace out of his clothes and asked.

“This will take some getting used to. ”

The item was not all I had.

No matter how great the item was, it would eventually change in value depending on who and how it was handled.

Like the clockwork that Yoon Jae is wearing right now or the ring of a giant wearing a regular.

“Let's keep busy for the rest of the day. It's not possible.”

“Whew - I thought I'd take a break and finally.... ”

Normally, he sighed, touching the heavenly dragon on his neck.

I wanted to take a rest for about ten days, but I finally only had a few days to rest.

“Don't I always tell you? Resting... ”

“Let's go back. ”

Normally, Yoon Jae always smiled, interfering with the words that he lived with.

“Right?"
