261 Episode
Alicia Painter Kruma Branch.
Made after the Empire, it was very popular with players as well as NPCs living in Kruma.
The manager of the Kruma branch is Deville, a former Kruama warrior who visited the Elisia garden, and Angel, his lover.
Of course, that wasn't the real name of the two, but it was after the shocking nickname for each other was clearly imprinted on Jae-ho's mind.
"Oh! You're here, king! Angel! The king is here!!”
Devils, who had quit the warrior of the desert, had become a handsome man with a slim, cool stretch of muscle.
When Jae-ho looked at Jae-ho as if he was surprised by his completely changed appearance, he explained embarrassedly.
"Ha-ha, no more training, so I lost muscle quickly. Well, I like how I look right now."
"No. It looks good.”
Honestly, I was envious.
"I'm getting worse if I don't exercise because I only gain weight.….’
That's why Jae-ho exercises thoroughly.
If you don't take good care of yourself, you'll become a muscle pig in no time.
"Ah! Alsia the Great! Long time no see!"
Then Angel, who arrived hurriedly at Devil's call, smiled brightly and bowed his head.
"How have you been?"
"Ho-ho, of course. As you've seen for yourself, Kruma is now a place filled with scents."
As she said, Kruma has really changed a lot.
Malkant, who experienced the possibilities of flower items through Jaeho, has become more open, and it has brought about changes in the entire cruma.
The dry desert city is completely colored with colorful colors.
The most popular flower items are cruma warriors.
For them, trying to be stronger, the flower item was a sweet temptation.
It is true that he felt repulsed at first, but his popularity soared when King Malkant encouraged him to use it himself.
It's incredibly popular.….
"Come on! Everybody line up straight! Don't let the neighborhood get away. This way! Hey! Panck! Don't cut in the middle!"
A great number of people lining up outside the garden.
At the end of the line was Jae-ho, dressed up in flowers.
[Special Event for Alsia the Great]
Just for this.
I've heard from Devil and Angel that they've prepared a little event today, but I never thought of it.
The scenery is like a celebrity signing event.
However, what Jae-ho does here was to use various skills to look at the flowers of the guests.
"Oh... my lord! It's an honor to see you like this. It's just that my flower crown is not in good shape these days...….”
Most of them were about the health of their plants.
" Bless our baby who was born last week...….”
"Oh! You must be a flower!"
Sometimes there have been such ridiculous requests.
"You abominable demon! The enemy of Peace and Love... Ugh!!!"
Only once, there was a pacifist raid on the concept, but Jae-ho was dragged away without even reaching it.
Half of these queues were Kruma's elite warriors.
* * *
The three-day event ended in great success.
Although the event was completely unplanned, Jae-ho had a fairly good income after it was over.
[ Skill upgraded to Skill.]
[ Skill is skill...….]
[ Skill has reached its maximum level.]
It was a huge help to the skill level growth thanks to hundreds of forced strikes in a short time.
[ lv.15]
[The nutritional status of the target plant can be checked in detail.]
[Could alleviate the disease condition of the target plant.]
[ lv.29]
[Buff to target flower growth. Growth Buff : +89.6%]
[The Spirit of the Target Flower actively helps the flower grow and is immune to insect infestation.]
[ lv.99]
[Buff in the condition of plants within a radius of 3 meters. Growth Buff : +49.5% (once a day only)]
[*Lack of playing notes to raise the level of skill(1/20)]
a satisfactory result
I'm just playing the full flute.….
I've been thinking about learning another song from the E.L.F., but I forgot.’
Jaeho's music is one that he doesn't even know the title he learned from the "Luxi Forest."
In fact, there was very little to play in the Elysia Garden now.
The performance was virtually perfect, but it was repeated every day, so every time I heard a groin, I started the game.
Her stress was soon debuffing the entire garden, making it impossible to play.
'I need to learn from this voyage.’
I was wondering if I could put it into action this time, but...….
* * *
The Goinghel left after all his business in Kruma.
Destination is the largest port on the West Coast.
In the past, Liesel was used to go to the forest.
However, it was impossible to go straight from Kruma because of the mountains in the middle.
"...so I'll turn around and pass."
Wattis explained to Uram while traveling together in a carriage.
"But if you're on a special wagon, Alsia... No, we'll be able to get there before your brother's children and get ready."
"Well, but are you really okay? Even if I'm free to ride like this?"
"What do you mean, free ride? You have at least three servings for the player award."
Severe appearanceism!
Of course, if not, the potential value of Uram was enormous.
Apart from being Jae-ho's father, look at his terrible physique!
'He's well worth serving in our guild!’
Wattis was genuinely thinking so.
"In any case, the Wattis band has been scattered all over the country, searching for money, and preparing for it. Any day, I thought your son would definitely go to the New World."
"I've been looking for...….”
There were many implications for describing money as "found" rather than "earned."
"Hoo-hoo, don't worry and just trust me! We worked really hard on it!"
"Well... let's go for now.”
No matter how hard I think about it, I don't think I've got anything to do with my level 15.….
'Well, Jae-ho, it's not bad to watch him fight right next to you.’
Uram thought so.
* * *
Since shortly after news broke that Jae-ho had left the Elysia Garden for his voyage, Desertier had been crowded with huge crowds.
The harbor was also packed with ships prepared by players far away, creating a spectacular sight.
Since Jae-ho is highly likely to succeed in his expedition to the New World, everyone had the idea of closely following him.
Those who could afford it were being treated as an opportunity, and on the contrary, complaints from those who had no chance were growing.
[New World Ecosystem Disorder Elf!] Is it all right as it is?]
[How long will Hwang Jae-ho benefit from the Elf?]
[New World power concentrated on one player. It's time for the Worldwide to move.]
It was a complaint that the Elves had to take part in this very voyage.
The Elves are now the strongest NPC corps in name and reality.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with just looking at it.
The problem is that if the elves say Hwang Jae-ho, they will die.
Jae-ho, who holds the unparalleled power, is sure to make this expedition a success.
E.L.F. makes it possible.
Voices of such discontent did not die down, but spread throughout the world, and eventually the Worldwide side announced its position.
Of course, before that, I had to send Lee Hyun-ho from the observation team to get Jae-ho's understanding.
In the first place, this was ridiculous.
Presenting elements in the game to calm players' complaints is a taboo.
However, it was not only because of complaints within the community, but also because of complaints from famous players, large game companies and sponsors.
[First of all, I would like to thank all the Limotalians who love New World. New World is.......
(medium)
I understand that there is a lot of controversy over the Elf's excessive overpower setting and the possession of it by just one player.
However, that's not really true.
It is not true or invincible that the Elves are strong.
They also have many weaknesses, and as you know, the special environment of the sea.
In other words, it is only a guess that Hwang Jae-ho's success in the expedition is decided. In addition, there are players who have already discovered the New World with their own abilities.
(medium)
One thing I want to tell you is that Hwang Jae-ho's time and effort to get to where he is is is never small, contrary to many people's expectations.
Hwang Jae-ho deserves the power he has now, and there are plenty of opportunities that are not yet known to you.
Keep challenging yourself!
Then, you will also have a new opportunity.
*Today's information disclosure was made with the consent of Hwang Jae-ho.]
So after the Worldwide announcement of its position, the world heated up again.
Did you announce that as a statement?! Don't you dare say that's not true!
There was a saying.
To be honest, it's a memory. Would the world do this to you want to do this? Stop whining!
There was also a story that.
Fortunately, public opinion prevailed over the situation.
Most of all, it was because there was a lack of grounds to claim that E.L.F. would eat it as a quest day.
Don't you guys have eyes? Didn't you see him do it at the competition?
Why the hell are they so mean? Those of you who have been robbed by Hwang Jae-ho know that you can't just call it elf buffing.
Don't let this go on. They're going to ruin the New World.
The situation seemed to be over for the time being, with fierce criticism and attacks on those who tried to interfere in the game.
However, those who tried to keep Jae-ho in check have backfired more and more secretly.
And before this voyage...….
* * *
"Too much."
Samantha's stiff face.
"Why did you stupidly agree to such a queer statement?"
An angry dakist.
"I believe you did it because you had an idea."
Even Red, who became a fervent believer.
The Ilsung Flower team members gathered in the captain's room and each threw a word.
Though the expression was different, he was angry that the World Wide side released information on Jae-ho's game.
"Well, your face doesn't seem to care much, but...….”
Wan-sik sighed at the carefree Jae-ho.
"You know very well."
Jae-ho shrugged.
"I just confirmed what people already know anyway.”
"It's not like guessing or being sure."
The completion was frustrating, but Jae-ho was really satisfied.
He knew about his complaints that began to emerge after the battle against the devil.
And the recent explosion.
Jae-ho couldn't enjoy being hated.
I was hoping to get this over with in the right way, and it just happened that Worldwide had been suggesting the method.
Also, one of the most important facts was that people did not know.
"Elf is not something you can drag on indefinitely."
One fact that most people misunderstand.
Elves don't like fighting very much.
There was absolutely no pointless armed action, even though he was a terrible species discriminator and used violence that threatened his life.
Only in the event of a threat to themselves or to Jae-ho's safety, or if the opponent is evil, were they actively used force.
"Just looking at the Luxury forest, the elves never got ahead of Newby."
Although he was attacked, it was only because of his appearance...….
Otherwise, there wasn't much except for a "some touch" that occurred when the elves were too much of a nuisance.
"...what do you mean if you exclude them all in that way?"
said the dakist, dumbfounded.
"That's right. It's true that you hate humans after all."
He also agreed to complete the meal, but Jae-ho shook his head.
"Don't tell me that it's extremely rare for elves to go ahead regardless of their feelings. Elves aren't very involved in fighting in the first place. Think of the time when we did the Feyla Raid in the Rasell Kingdom.”
Even then, Tina was the only Elf who moved together.
"They're characters that don't stray far away from each other in the way they are.”
People were protesting, citing the Battle of the Devil as an example, but it was a very exceptional case.
The Liesel Forest was the home of the Elves, and the Mahwang Tubaljeon was the temple to restore their home.
It was also the ability of Jae-ho, not the Elf, to mobilize the strong and armed forces of the entire continent.
In other words, Jae-ho, who did not win a single title even after catching the devil, felt even more unfair.
In the end, there was no situation in which Jae-ho overfired the force of the Elf as people claimed.
"I'd rather not know the fact. It's much easier to maintain that fear.”
World Wide's announcement did not include that.
It only contains ambiguous expressions that it is not invincible.
Instead, it also made public that there are many secrets that have yet to be revealed on the existing continent.
It was an event that both sides benefited frugally.
"It's in my interest to keep Elf as the strongest race. And with this announcement, people will feel that their actions could ruin the gaming ecosystem."
"Well... that makes sense. But you.”
Wan-sik continued his talk with his arms folded.
"Didn't you beat your elves when you were Captain Cheng Wu?"
"...you ran into him on your way to the Blue Mountain island to catch the devil, didn't you?”
"Then what about the pirate king?"
“…….”
Alsia!
Goldtus' whisper to save Jae-ho who was speechless at the other times.
We'll be arriving at Desert Tear soon!
