“... Really? You read those texts? ”

In Yun Jae's reply, Arhan was also expressing himself.

I didn't seem surprised. It was as if he had expected it to be.

Did you know that? ’

Elvin was convinced of Arhan's reaction.

Arhan knew that there was such a huge temple in the middle, and he saw the letters in it.

“What were you thinking? ”

“What?”

In Elvin's question, Arhan asked again in a dull voice.

He looks down as if he's thinking of something and his hands are clenching his chin. I didn't seem to listen to Elvin at all.

But Elvin opens his mouth as if he had nothing to do with it.

“When the first clan leader sent me there, I knew it was to kill me. ”

“Well, that's disappointing. ”

“It's between me and the Clan, and you know everyone who knows it, right? ”

Arhan's eyes come down and stare at Elvin.

“Isn't that something you disliked about me unilaterally? ”

“I won't deny it. ”

“Tsk, you still have that temper. Well, I think I have more words today than I did before.... ”

Arhan shakes his head.

“The answer is wrong. I had no intention of killing you. All I could think about was watching.”

Arhan and Elvin.

Their relationship was a little complicated.

On behalf of Arhan, who has neglected the clan for a long time and is no longer willing to move, Elvin has been blamed for a lot of people trying to move on to the clan.

And there was also an ambiguous angle to Elvin's position on it.

Elvin was not interested in the position of the clan leader. However, there have been complaints about Ahn, who has remained calm for a long time.

For some reason, Elvin's relationship with Arhan seemed like hostility to each other from some point on. That's how even my own Elvin felt.

It was the first time I had heard Arhan's opinion directly.

But that view is not hostile.

“…… Then why did you send me there? ”

“You're already anticipating that, aren't you? ”

“Is this about the temple, too? ”

“Yes."

The answer came from Arhan's mouth. It was faster than I thought.

As expected, Arhan knew about the temple.

And the texts there.

“Why did you do that? ”

“Because of this guy. ”

When Elvin asked, Arhan pointed to Yoon Jae in his jaw.

There was no forward or backward answer, but Yoon Jae and Elvin could see what it meant.

Arhan.

He knew that Yoon Jae could read the letters in the temple.

“Did you know about this? ”

Yoon Jae asked, raising his right arm.

Ooo-

Zahar's chains shed a low tear as he breathed his magic.

Arhan nods and replies.

“I knew it. I wasn't sure.”

“I wasn't sure... …. For sure, you sent me there with Mr. Elvin? ”

“Yes, that's right. Reading the text there means you're the key. ”

Keys.

It was a familiar word. It was also a word that was mentioned many times among the characters in the room.

Yoon Jae bit his teeth.

I already knew what it was for through the characters on the wall.

“I have one question. ”

“Tell me. ”

“Why did you keep the temple secret? To get the Holy Grail, we would have needed that place. ”

The temple is closer to a kind of puzzle piece that records where the Holy Grail is located.

The key is to be able to read the letters there.

If Arhan had known this, there would have been a reason to hide it.

“It's weird to keep it a secret now. ”

After a brief conflict, Arhan turns his head upward, burying himself on the couch where he was sitting.

‘At least this one should know. ’

It was a story I learned from those who deserve to know.

Even if you keep it a secret, soon everyone will know.

After straightening his mind, Arhan opened his mouth again, looking at Yoon Jae.

“Among the first generation who came with me to this place and the other side.... ”

Arhan bites his lips without being able to speak at once.

Soon, he spoke in a voice that seemed to be boiling inside him.

“There was a key, like you. ”

* * *

It was a long time ago.

Generation one. Only ten of them left.

We first moved here and began to get to know the world.

Survival? That wasn't a challenge for us. Unlike the new recruits coming in, we've been as strong as the rankers we are since we passed the tutorial. So did I.

I think I've been boasting about this for a while. Anyway, right after we went to the other side, we started exploring why we came here, what we had to do.

The residents here have informed me about the Midtown area. The same was true of information about angels and demons.

We're heading into the middle zone. That's when I found the temple you visited.

And there we learned, along with the secrets of this world, that one of us had a key.
