What is that hand?

Meirena rolled her eyes.

what is it

If you doubt the representative of a faction, you have to pay compensation accordingly.

Bo, do you want a reward?

We have to receive mental treatment costs due to verbal abuse and PTSD treatment for our spirits. Oh, defamation and insults will also be charged. I believe you are aware of the level of proof of specificity and performance.

"P, PT specific surname? What does it all mean?"

"In this world, I have committed a crime so great that I could destroy all three of them well, that's what it means."

It can't be...

Maylena's mouth widened.

I guess I didn't know what happened a while ago was so serious. An earthquake occurred in the pupil.

great.

Again, it is best to use a lot of complicated jargon when shaking someone.

To be honest, I don't know what I'm talking about even after I've said it, but the other person will be shocked.

Jinhyuk spoke quickly.

But! That doesn't mean I'm going to uproot a pillar in the spirit realm, it's not like 'blessing of water'

Just do it once, and I'll move on to it.

'Blessing of Water'.

This skill can only be used by some of the water spirit beasts, and when receiving a blessing, the growth rate of the pets increased by 10%.

'The deadline is for a week, and it only applies to one of the pets you have, but it's still not bad.'

After all, I had to create a build-up focusing on sweet potatoes rather than spirits of the five elements.

Is that okay?

Originally, it's not, but I think we can go this far, especially this time. Even the wounded spirits seem to be relieved a little. Isn't it, guys?

"Uh huh. huh!"

"Mom, I feel like my body and mind are getting warmer."

It feels like all the wounds are healed.

The spirit beasts of the 5 elements nodded mechanically.

Okay. It's not a very difficult requirement... I think I can give you that much as an apology. I'm sorry for doubting you once again. Jinhyuk Kang, player.

[Meirena uses her unique ability 'Blessing of Water'.]

[Growth speed is increased by 10% for one week when the received blessing is applied to a pet.]

A jewel in the shape of a water drop fell on the palm of his hand.

This is one of the blessings that can only be used by Spirit Beasts of upper-intermediate level or higher.

Thank you. Customer. Your deposit has been made correctly.

Now finally... .

Jinhyuk moved slowly.

Among the tables crowded with players and residents, I could see 'Alfred', the Prime Minister of the Empire, standing.

Even if it is the next best thing, he seems to be very busy selecting talents.

It was a pity that I was sweating profusely through my beard.

Jinhyuk came closer to Alfred.

And whispered softly.

" "

It's so low that you can't hear it unless you're just a short distance away.

OK.

Ugh?

Alfred's mouth blew out.

The rapidly expanding pupils were filled with emotions of astonishment and fear.

should never come out.

This is because even within the Empire, secrets known only to very few have leaked out.

At any moment, I tried to hold onto the opponent and question him.

Come on, wait...!

However, Alfred's hand crossed the air without a pulse.

Jinhyuk had already disappeared like smoke.

Leaving the words 'I'll go back to the Empire in a week.'

When I came out of the tower, the sunset was dyeing the whole world red.

Contrary to the frantic fighting a while ago, this world was so peaceful.

With office workers... .

The sight of people laughing and talking passed by.

Everyone looks peaceful.

Elise, who had taken off the mask, came to Jinhyuk's side and stood there.

Then he glanced at Jinhyuk.

Do they know? The fact that the current daily life can be destroyed at any time?

If the next level of the tower is not conquered for 90 days, the human race will perish.

If the Outbreak occurs, the gated city will turn into a living hell overnight.

That was the reality that could come at any time after the Tower of Trials appeared.

It won't happen unless I fail.

You're confident. Well, that's your charm.

Don't be silly and just follow me. I'm going to make the other kids wait too long.

Cheon Yuseong and Teresa had already gone to the meeting place. It's been a while since Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa also came, so it would be better to hurry as much as possible.

But.

It's not nonsense.

Alice's voice was colder than usual.

His eyes were also looking straight at Jinhyuk.

You seem terribly selfish, but in fact your actions are always designed to save more people's lives.

Kill the wicked and save the innocent.

Only the means and methods were different, but the premise did not change.

The reason he was struggling to become stronger was to prevent the destruction of mankind in the end.

Actually, turning all the competitors around you as an enemy and taking the role of the arrowhead by yourself is probably based on the calculation that you don't want to harm others.

I think you're interpreting it too much... I'm just repaying the people I don't like as much as I've suffered.

Well, at least not in my opinion.

Have you learned any interest in the past? So what do you want to say?

I'm giving you advice.

Alice shrugged.

No one can control every situation. There will come a day when you too will have to make tough choices that you can't handle.

Even a wise person makes stupid choices.

Even Seonggun makes the decision to enter the path of ruin.

It's a natural story.

Because the existence of a flawless existence was a law that did not exist except for God.

I know it's reckless.

I don't hate that kind of personality either.

Alice wasn't rebuking Jinhyuk like that now.

It wasn't even worse to criticize him for doing something he couldn't handle.

only.

Trust the people around you a little more.

I wanted to be a strength.

Because I know how lonely it is to sit on a throne alone.

"The crown is surprisingly heavy."

As the head of the family who protected the family among many enemies.

As a contractor with an oath.

I just want to share that burden.

mosquito!

Even the sweet potato, who was curled up in a circle, opened her eyes.

Seeing him wag his tail vigorously, I definitely felt my heart pound.

'Comrade... .'

Jinhyuk pondered the word in his mind.

In the past, life was in the past where everyone who approached could question their interests and turn into enemies at any time.

You don't have to trust anyone to climb the tower. I just had to take care of myself.

It was natural, and that was the only way.

'Yes. That's how I felt.'

The fact that there are people who can put their backs on their backs and share the joys and pains with them.

maybe The people who are waiting for them at the meeting place right now are probably the beings they can call their companions, like Elise and Sweet Potato.

So. I've said it for a long time, but in the end, aren't you asking me to buy you something delicious a little later?

If someone is serious, please take it calmly in this case.

It's a vampire, not a human.

It is now about to lose its identity.

So you're saying it's because it's a one-course dish, including fried rice, sprinkled with plenty of seaweed powder on cheese dakgalbi and sprinkled with sesame oil?

Of course because of that... not. Hey!

As expected... Appetite makes even vampires dance.

Jinhyuk clicked his tongue.

Then, with her face reddened, Elise let go of her reason.

Do you really want to be xxx and then xxx and then get xxxx? Do you want to catch me today? I did it in moderation, but if I wanted to, I would have xxx with xxx!

However, when we first met, we had a modest and solemn atmosphere to the point where the adjective 'noble' was attached.

Now, the taste is so bad that even the gangsters of the slums are crying.

' It's not because of me, is it?'

no way. No way.

Probably not.

Perhaps .

Jinhyuk felt an unknown responsibility and headed to the meeting place.

And Elise, who screams over and over, followed.

about an hour later. Jinhyuk and Elise arrived at the meeting place.

Even on a weekday evening, the streets of Myeong-dong were full of people.

The two went to a Chinese restaurant that is also known as a restaurant in Myeong-dong.

There were already Theresa and Cheon Yoo-seong, Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa, and Kim Hee-woong, who entrusted the Black Crow Guild.

Brother is here!

Brother! You're here! Oh. Ellis is here too.

Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min welcomed them.

Well, since the two weren't invited to the prom, it will feel like they've been seeing each other for a long time.

It was even more enjoyable.

Mr. Jinhyuk. You've worked hard.

Sorry... what kind of trouble is this guy who has been scammed a lot.

Theresa and Cheon Yu-seong also greeted each other in their own way.

The child came here quietly this time and tried to treat him well, but he always adds the word strange.

Did the representative come?

Lastly, Kim Hee-woong bowed his head politely.

Come to think of it, the Black Crow Guild should also have to manage a bit... .

Last time I heard there were a lot of new recruits, but I thought that was true.

Because the dark circles that fell under Kim Hee-woong's eyes were no joke.

You seem to be having a lot of trouble. I'm sorry I couldn't take care of you because I'm busy.

No. The CEO is just grateful for being there. Thanks to him, I was able to get a seat like this and grow the guild.

Kim Hee-woong bowed his head sincerely.

Instead of being acknowledged for what I had done by former guild leader Shin Geon-soo, I was only exploited, so I was able to live each day with gratitude just being able to be here.

After such a light greeting came and went, the full-fledged follow-up began.

The side dishes were the best in this restaurant, the beef noodle with thick meat and hand-made noodles, and the crispy pork ribs.

With Soryongpo and Goryangju, a pretty nice table was completed.

Oh. It's a classy dish.

Alice let out an exclamation.

Ellis, who is obsessed with modern food these days, is enjoying her hobby of enjoying a variety of Korean, Chinese, and Japanese foods to her heart's content.

It wasn't a lot of hard work for a low-level contractor, but I've finally been rewarded for that hard work.

What? Are you trying to get behind me?

Yes.

If it wasn't for 'Blood Lord', you wouldn't have achieved your desired purpose. I don't know how you used the powers of this noble body, but I'll ask you to inquire about it after eating.

Alice raised her head high.

He lifted it so high that only his neck could be seen.

hmmm.

This probably won't work

I'll have to change my habit in a little while.

Jinhyuk gently placed the prepared food on the table.

Elise, who had been working on this for a long time, suddenly found the food Jinhyuk had put on it.

What kind of food is this grayish-and-soft-looking food?

It's called drunken tofu. It's a food that famous BJs are trying to eat each other to eat.

I omitted the word "for punishment", but it is true that it is popular.

It was a fuss trying to get it as soon as possible with the express delivery by plane.

Hey. It's such a famous dish?

Yeah. Plus, this is the mint chocolate I bought from Vera. It's my favorite dessert. After eating drunken tofu and then taking a bite of mint chocolate, oh well. I'll never eat other food again.

maybe Forever.

The corners of Jinhyuk's lips went up.

At the same time, Elise's eyes twinkled and she grabbed the spoon.
