Chapter 114
What was with the serious act?
Was he perhaps going to ask for a favor?
Curious, Seonghyun asked Leonik.
"Are you going to ask for a favor?"
-Hoo-eooo!!! A favor to the Master!!! That would be utterly preposterous!!!
"……."
Couldn't he have just asked?
He denied it so vehemently.
Seonghyun was at a loss for words.
He had no choice but to swallow it down.
As Seonghyun remained silent,
Leonik continued.
-Though it seemed you were busy, Master, I was merely hesitant to trouble you with a request. Instead, I wished to inform you of something I believe may be of great value.
"Valuable information?"
Seonghyun tilted his head, looking doubtful.
Nocturnium and Fiora, like Leonik, were also kneeling on one knee with their heads bowed.
Balthar was likely attending to Drakhanos in the Netherworld.
In any case, did they have something important to say?
As Seonghyun looked at them and nodded as if to say, "Speak,"
-Having dared to assess your abilities, Master, I believe that if you were to visit a place where many souls have settled, you would undoubtedly be able to utilize your powers to their fullest.
"Souls?"
That was an unexpected thing to say.
A place where souls had settled.
If anyone else had said it, he would have dismissed it as nonsense.
But it was Leonik, who had been a soul himself, who was speaking.
Seonghyun focused his attention, listening intently.
-In truth, there exists a hall of knights that predates the destruction of this Dune Wild Trail.
"A hall of knights?"
Just hearing the name made it sound ominous.
It had the distinct scent of a hidden quest, you could say?
He had obtained Leonik's memories.
But he couldn't access them at will.
Unfortunately, he couldn't see it.
That made him even more curious.
As Seonghyun asked back with a voice full of curiosity,
Pleased by the reaction, Leonik spoke in an even more excited tone.
-It is a place where knights go for training. It may not be related to mages, but if you, Master, were to go to that place, which is isolated from other spaces, you would certainly gain tremendous power.
"Oho? It's not related to mages?"
-It would seem so. It is a place well-suited for building the skill proficiency of knights, so that is even more likely. However, I believe that you, Master, who are skilled in both magic and swordsmanship, will greatly benefit.
-Leonik speaks truly, Lord. You have shown proficiency in swordsmanship as well, so I believe it is imperative that you go.
-H-heu-euh? I-I also think it would be good for Master.
As his vassals spoke with one voice,
Seonghyun's interest soared even higher.
The Hall of Knights, huh.
The moment Seonghyun smiled with interest,
[You have obtained a clue to the hidden field 『Hall of Knights』.]
A system message appeared, further amplifying his interest.
0.
How would a worker just before leaving work feel if they were handed extra tasks?
Needless to say, their expression would definitely sour.
In slightly severe cases, curses might even be exchanged.
That was exactly how Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong felt right now.
In his heart, he even felt like fighting Seonghyun.
Seriously, was this even possible?
"Wow... Anemor of Thunder, Anemor of Lightning... Ah! Anemor of Thunder's name changed to Karisha? Wow, anyway, to get more than one summon above Legendary rank at once. Isn't that Almighty rank?"
"……."
Even after hearing Associate Oh Jinhyeok's words, Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong said nothing.
Should he just hit Associate Oh Jinhyeok, who was oblivious and rubbing salt in his wounds?
He was seriously considering it.
He would have to contact the skill management team about this.
It was definitely a critical bug.
'If things continue like this, he'll keep using Add More to summon Almighty-rank summons without paying any cost...'
Add More was a considerably high-rank skill at Legendary, but it was nothing compared to an Almighty-rank summon.
Add More was a skill like a star in the sky for professions that dealt with summons, such as mages, summoners, and elementalists.
However, even those summons had their own ranks.
They hadn't displayed the ranks to the users because they figured some might raise summons for their cuteness, and going too much by ranks might diminish that affection.
However, internally, they had such a system.
Among them, Almighty-rank summons were classified as the highest tier.
Both of those Anemors right now were summons belonging to that Almighty rank.
'This is driving me crazy.'
Since it wasn't displayed to the users, Add More had ended up additionally creating Anemors that were higher than the skill's rank without even realizing it.
'We can't do a stealth patch, can we?'
It was a bug in the first place that Add More was additionally summoning creatures summoned through Transcended Death.
The problem was that this kind of bug was also the developer's fault.
Eternal World had declared that it would guarantee all freedom to the users.
In other words.
"Huh? Then, Senior, if we fix this bug, we'll have to give compensation on top of it, right?"
"……Haaaaaaah."
"H-hik!?"
Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong glared fiercely at Associate Oh Jinhyeok.
But Associate Oh Jinhyeok was right.
They would have to give compensation, and the skill management team would have to suffer.
Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong would have to make the proposal anyway.
It was understandable that he would be wary.
He let out a deep sigh and shook his head as if there was no other way.
"What can we do? We have to do it."
"……You've… resigned yourself, haven't you?"
It would definitely be tough, it seemed.
Probably.
'……He'll have a hard time…… won't he?'
Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong felt a bit uneasy as he thought about it.
But he didn't pay it much mind.
Quite a few things had piled up while he was away for a day.
And there were new tasks that had just come up.
It seemed.
"Senior, aren't you going home?"
"What home?"
"Huh?"
"You have a ton of reports to write too!!!"
"Ah, a-ah!?"
He had worked all night yesterday, and another all-nighter today.
Associate Oh Jinhyeok was sad but couldn't say anything.
Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong next to him was also working, clutching his dark circles that seemed to be flowing down his face.
It seemed he would have to stay as well.
1.
It wasn't just Assistant Manager Lee Wonsong's team that had extra work due to Seonghyun.
His own Rapid Guild was the same.
Especially the Guild Master.
There was so much to handle.
It was only their first live broadcast, but its impact was significant.
Two rookies from other guilds had requested transfers, and they had even gotten involved in a collaboration with Sick Brothers.
Furthermore, the public's reaction was extraordinary.
There was a lot of work related to Seonghyun's backup team.
And the profit distribution from this live broadcast was still pending.
"Haaaaah."
Rapid, making a sound as if her soul had left her body, briefly took off her monocle and leaned back in her chair, sinking into it.
She was originally busy, but it felt like she had become more than twice as busy because of Seonghyun.
One had to strike while the iron was hot, but...
'This is more like a tsunami.'
Rather, the water was rushing in so much that she felt like she would be swept away and die.
It was inevitable that her complaints would increase.
Still, what could she do?
She had to do it.
Just as Rapid gathered her strength and was about to start working again, a message arrived from Seonghyun, the very person who had caused all this busyness.
'Hmm, still, the first live broadcast was successful.'
Just as she was about to praise him,
[Seonghyun - I might be hard to reach for a while. Contact me on my phone or through my sister!]
[Rapid - ???? What do you mean, Seonghyun-ah.]
[Seonghyun - I found a hidden field dungeon, so I think I'll be there for quite a while. But it seems the system is partially blocked here, so the messenger might not work. I'll contact you on my phone later.]
Rapid's expression, which had initially been lighthearted, instantly twisted.
Rapid knew.
She knew that Seonghyun was the one who had just caused that huge event.
But even after that, he had found another hidden field?
Was that even statistically possible?
[Rapid - ??? What are you talking about???]
[The user is in an area where messages cannot be received.]
"……???"
What on earth was going on?
Rapid read the last message with a dumbfounded expression.
She didn't know exactly what was happening.
'He's going to bring more work again…….'
Thinking that, she should tell Yuna to let Seonghyun know when he could do a live broadcast.
She didn't know if it would work since it was a blocked area.
But she should at least try to get some footage.
[Rapid - Yuna, could you please tell Seonghyun to let us know a few hours before he wants to do a live broadcast? And if he can't, please make sure he at least records some footage.]
She could send a message directly to Seonghyun's phone, but since the work was urgent, asking Yuna would be faster than going out to send a text.
As Rapid sent the message,
A message popped up immediately.
Wondering why she replied so quickly, he checked.
[This user has their messenger turned off.]
[Please try again later.]
'These two siblings are really something……!!!'
