YM778.TV Chapter 660
Elfnunalove is a player with a nickname that I am very uncomfortable with and an old user who has survived in this world for at least 20 years ·
By the way, Versil also knows this guy’s identity ·
[Jurben Havellion· That’s the GM’s name·]
This is what was revealed at the round table in the first place·
Perhaps that’s why I feel like there’s another reason for recommending this guy hidden·
“… If you’re a magic engineer, I know that… But realistically… Is it possible to summon him? “I heard that you rarely engage in outside activities…”
In response to Amelia’s keen question, Bersil nodded as if it wouldn’t be a problem.
“Don’t worry about that. We’re friends.”
Although it was Versil who was criticizing him, he could feel the confidence radiating from his voice.
Then, why was he so confident?
The reason was very simple.
There was no way that Versil was really friendly with that reclusive loner GM
. I guess he believes in his weaknesses…’
However, I wonder if threatening him with his identity will work out… It looks like the royal family knows this guy’s identity…
Could it be a relationship where they use each other because they are useful?
‘I’m a bit curious about what kind of situation he was in now that the community has disappeared…’
Actually, I’ve been interested in this guy for a long time, but I was cautious about approaching him too quickly.
Should I say there was no justification?
Even if you went to see the guy who was stuck in the tower on a random day, there was no way he would meet you, and you would just look suspicious as to why he came all of a sudden… But… “It’s not
bad
… Just go ahead…”
If Bersil acts as a drawbridge. We could meet naturally…
“Yes… Then, I’ll go back and talk to you right away…”
I was a little worried, but I decided to believe that Versil’s personality would make threats without revealing his identity.
“This is something that needs to be kept secret from the outside world.” Be sure to ask us about this… If you say you’ll help us, make an appointment… I’ll have to see it before that…”
“Yes… I will…”
“Then let’s just head back…”
There’s nothing more to do here, so we’ll stop at this point for today. After completing his journey, he returned to the city…
And…
“I’ll go to the magic tower…”
Bersil left separately, saying he would talk to the magic engineer. About three days later…
“It’s okay… The magic engineer will take a look.” “I’ll see.”
An appointment was made.
***
The meeting with the magic engineer was conducted very carefully and secretly. Should I say I felt like a spy during the Cold War?
‘If you turn left here, open the third door of the building next to the red roof in front of you and go down… Ah, here it is…’ After going around the
alley for a while, you arrive
at the building… After going down the underground stairs underneath, you can find the black market. As when entering, I activated the magic circle and entered the mysterious space.
Flash!
A fairly spacious room decorated in the form of a study…
However, no matter where you look in the room, you can’t even find a window, let alone a doorway…
It seems to be a special space that can only be accessed through magic…
“I see you’ve come… I’ve been waiting… Baron. “Sir…”
The man sitting on the sofa stands up and greets me…
‘You look like this…’
I had met him once in the city, but at that time he was disguised as Hans I, so this was my first time seeing his face…
The keyword for first impressions is baby-faced anchovy glasses…
However, since I wasn’t there to evaluate appearances, I just memorized the face and immediately started a conversation…
“… Is there a reason why you’re being so careful?”
“I’m sorry for making you inconvenience… However, I’ve had a lot of enemies around me recently… Please understand…”
Enemies…
Well, in the past, even Lee Baek-ho had been looking for him a lot…
“Anyway, it’s nice to meet you… Jurben Hamelion, Yandel’s son. “It’s Bjorn…”
I shook hands with him briefly and then sat down on the sofa that looked like my seat—·
Kwažizik·
Huh, I’ve been discriminating against barbarians from the start·
“It’s okay, you need to apologize—·”
··· Huh?
Why do I apologize?
“Next time, buy a stronger chair… because if you buy a chair like this, you look like a discriminator…”
“Yes…? Ah yes…”
“Buying a chair that barbarians cannot sit on is the beginning of discrimination…” ”
…Haha, make sure to keep that in mind…”
I could see his impression of me dropping in real time, but what could I do? It was an impossible action.
I had to be extra careful when talking to this guy. I needed to
act like a barbarian so as not to look like a modern person.
Even if it seemed a little excessive,
I
pushed the completely sunken sofa aside and just sat cross-legged. Then he sat down on the bare floor…
Surprisingly, there was no difference in eye level…
Or rather, I
seemed to be slightly above him… “Anyway, thank you for asking me a favor… I didn’t expect you to be friends with Versil… How did you two get to know each other? ”
To avoid suspicion, he pretends like he doesn’t know anything.
That’s how he might think, right?
I was the one who sent Versil to threaten him…
“Haha… aren’t we both wizards who officially belong to the Magic Tower? We all naturally become friends and that’s it…”
“Oh really?”
“But… can you tell me what I need to investigate? Miss Gowland didn’t tell me that far…”
“It’s about investigating the magic circle in the underground castle… No, more precisely, I want you to find out how to activate it…” ”
You mean the magic circle…?”
“Yes… They say that it is a magic circle drawn in very ancient times, so Versil alone is not enough…”
When I got straight to the point, the GM rested his chin, lost in thought, and asked me in a very cautious voice,
“Perhaps… Is there anything outside the castle walls? “Is your goal to go out?”
···Yes, you knew something too·
It wasn’t something I could hide if I was getting help anyway, so I answered honestly·
“That’s right· To be precise, I wanted to go out and check on their movements·”
“···I see…”
“Do you already know? Are you going? “How can I activate that magic circle?”
“No, that’s not true, I only knew about the existence of such a magic circle because I was lucky enough to
hear about it.” “So, you can’t give me a definite answer until you go and see it yourself?”
“Yes, that’s right…”
The GM’s voice as he nodded his head didn’t show any confidence at all and even gave off a feeling of regret…
But…
‘But why do you feel like you’re criticizing me like this?’
Feeling strongly that I was trying to dodge the situation and avoid the
situation, I said in a benevolent voice, “Don’t worry, even if I can’t do it, I have no intention of blaming you.” “
Oh, yes, I feel relieved to hear that.
” “Isn’t it enough to do that?”
“···yes?”
What’s the example?
Did you know that I would go down to the basement, take a quick look at the magic circle, and say that I lack ability?
“It doesn’t matter how many months it takes. If you keep doing it, it will happen someday!”
“····”
“Since I’m asking you for a favor, it wouldn’t be polite to leave you alone, so I’ll continue to stay by your side!”
To interpret it, it means that they will be locked in a can and even monitored to prevent it from leaking anywhere else.
“Since we’ve already talked about it, why don’t we go right now?”
“···yes?”
“From what I heard, you’re always stuck in the tower anyway? “There won’t be any promises later!”
“But you still need to take some equipment with you…”
“Don’t worry! Just tell me and I will tell Versil to bring it…”
“I will bring it myself… If I don’t have it right away, it means nothing and it will be difficult to find a way to convey it just by word of mouth…!”
The GM must have thought that he might be dragged in like this, so his voice became faster.
“Hmm… You’re not trying to show up, are you?”
“···yes?”
I laughed cheerfully as I saw the guy making a dumbfounded expression.
“Hahaha! Just kidding! Just kidding! There’s no way you wouldn’t show up! “I’m not worried!”
“Ahaha… Is that so?”
“okay! “Even if something unavoidable happens and I can’t come out, I can just go find it!”
“····”
Afterwards, when I told him that I had been to the Magic Tower many times and was familiar with the geography, the GM’s expression turned white as if he was remembering the previous attack on the Magic Tower·
And····
“Don’t worry about that· One hour is enough· ”
With those words, the GM left and returned just before an hour had elapsed.
***
There was no particular problem in going to Noark alone with the GM.
First of all, I knew the route down to Noark very well. In addition…
the knights patrolling in the sewer were solved with the magic tools this guy had…
I
was worried because the patrol seemed to have their own magic tools of the see-through type, but it turned out to be unfounded…
‘··· He has good skills…’
Should he really be considered a magic engineer?
The knights seemed to have a higher level of judgment than the knights, so even when they passed right by, they didn’t even notice anything.
“You said you made it yourself, right? “What’s your name?”
“It doesn’t have a name… It wasn’t made to sell in the first place…”
“Why aren’t they selling it?”
“For production, a very rare by-product is required, and the probability of success is very low… So this is the only thing that was made…”
“Oh really?”
Now that you say it like that, I want it even more…
I guess there’s no way to take it away.
As I was thinking about it, the GM, as if he sensed that desire, quickly changed his words.
“Anyway, I think the world has changed a lot. I didn’t expect to see knights wandering around in the sewers.” “
So, go outside and do that.”
“Haha… I should do that…”
I don’t know if it was because the seat was uncomfortable or because being outside itself was stressful, but the GM didn’t speak to me first until I arrived at Noark Square. No matter
how much I tried to throw at him, he just ignored it.
‘It’s a lot less fun than I thought…’
Well, that’s my personality, so it doesn’t matter as long as I do my job well…
“Now here… Do you understand something?’
“Let me take a look…”
As soon as they arrived at the plaza, GM showed off his professionalism, took out various equipment and started fiddling with something…
And how long did it take?
“I…”
He approached me at a quick pace while I was watching to see if I was doing well from a distance so as not to disturb him.
“Now… it’s all over…”
At first, I didn’t understand what he was saying.
“… ··It’s all over?”
“Yes, I wrote down the formula for activating the magic circle here, so if you follow this method, even if you are a level 4 wizard, you will be able to activate the magic circle…” The
GM said and handed me a piece of parchment with elegant writing on it, but I couldn’t believe it. ·
This is going to end so quickly?
As I narrowed my gaze and glanced up and down as if suspicious, the guy continued as if making an excuse…
“… It was easier than I thought… Ancient magic circles are also my field of expertise…” “
Then why did you say you couldn’t give a definite answer earlier?”
“That… is a bad habit of mine… I’m sorry…”
Well, then I don’t have anything more to say…
“Well… then I guess I’m done with the work now. Is it okay if I leave now? “The idea was to eat dinner at home if possible…”
To be honest, I couldn’t believe it…
Well, no matter how much I did, I couldn’t say that to his face…
“What do you mean, the work is over?”
“yes?”
“You haven’t yet confirmed if it worked well… Try activating it yourself…”
When I caught up with him with a reasonable reason, the GM sighed and nodded as if he couldn’t find anything to say no to.
“Yes… I understand… Then just get ready for a moment.” “I’ll do it for a bit, so please wait…”
It was about 5 minutes later when the guy who took care of the equipment he had taken out called me, saying that everything was finished. As I
approached him, he memorized the count, one, two, three,
and…
a flash of light . -!
A pure white light surrounds us, and when we open our eyes…
‘This is…’ A
familiar yet unfamiliar space fills the field of vision…
A wide circular passageway that a huge Imoogi could pass through… An unknown pattern is drawn on one wall. It was blocked…
“That’s the magic circle engraved on this side… I took a quick look at it, and the activation method seems to be the same…”
“…Roughly speaking?”
“That… that word came out in vain… It’s probably not incorrect information, so you don’t have to worry about that…” ”
…”
“Oh, and one thing to warn you… Be careful not to damage the magic circle. It has to be… Unlike the magic circle in the square, it is a structure exposed to the outside…”
“What happens if it gets damaged?”
“The permanent restoration magic is set, so if you wait, it will be fixed… but it will take at least a year…” “…
I see…”
It is better than not being able to go back forever, but even one year is a big enough risk…
“Can’t I use teleportation magic to return to the city?”
“Yes, the coordinates are recognized as being below the city, but considering that the movement trajectory is not specified, it is highly likely that our current location is outside the guardian magic circle…” To
put it simply, although it is below the city, it is outside based on the barrier that covers the entire city. Meaning…
As expected, it’s very suspicious…
Of course, I’m not doubting the authenticity of the information he said… But
…
‘It’s suspicious as expected…’
Magic engineer Jurben Havellion…
This guy is a talented wizard. I understand that…
‘But no matter what, is it possible to just look at it like this and give an honest answer to everything?’
Even I, a layperson, found it strange.
It felt as if I was pretending not to know what I had already researched and solving it… “
Well then, I guess my job is done now… How about you just leave now?”
I thought about the GM’s request for a while.
There is no denying that the work is done, but it
is a bit disappointing to let it go like this. I thought it would take at least a few weeks and stayed
still. In fact, I did not want to continue talking and finding out more while investigating. That was my idea…
Okay, so…
“I’ve come this far, but aren’t you curious? Let’s go together!”
“yes?”
“Then I take it as permission!”
I can’t let you go easily…
