Chapter 1404 – Baekgye
“Wow!! Awesome!!”
Where did I learn that this fight is a hit?
Raeband likes it and shouts it out loud.
It’s worth liking.
The amount is a large amount, but when the goblins were caught earlier, the reward was divided, but now everyone is paid ‘equally’.
Scent.
Quest is awesome.
“This is a lot of money, right?”
“Considering that it’s early days, I guess that’s true.”
Although we cannot be sure, it is clear that it is a considerable amount of money.
“Dre. What are you going to do with this?”
Homun already seemed to know the answer, but he seemed to be asking on purpose to let Raeband hear it.
Accepting her consideration, I opened my mouth.
“As Homun said, we must buy information.”
I need to go to that bar earlier and buy the right information.
Is there a way to remove the ‘balance patch’?
About Baekgye’s death or something.
Above all, you must understand the system of this white egg game.
There is a world of difference in the difficulty of playing whether you understand the system or not.
I liked ignoring the system and doing it my own way while playing a game, but I know that learning the game’s unique system is the fastest way to becoming stronger.
This white egg game may also have its own unique system.
“Besides that, we need to find someone to heal those wounds.”
“Ah. This is okay.”
“It’s okay…”
Raeband lowers his hand while contemplating whether or not to poke my side with his finger.
Normally I would have stabbed him, but I guess I look serious.
“First of all, let’s check these items.”
First, I held up the White Legion badge.
It looked like a circular medal, but there didn’t seem to be anything special about it.
That moment. Jiing!! A square system window appeared at the top of each month.
“Oh?”
Why and how did this system window come about?
How do I make it disappear?
I fiddled with the certificate and waved it around. But the system window did not disappear.
We thought carefully about what we had done earlier, and the three of us turned our heads away from the medal without any hesitation.
Faaat.
The system window disappeared.
I looked at the token again, and after about 3 seconds the system window popped up.
Is that right?
If you stare at an item that is treated as an item for more than 3 seconds, a detailed explanation will appear.
Experiment result. Among the three of us, the system window was displayed in the same way no matter who looked at it.
We need to verify whether this is because we are treated as a party, or whether it is possible for any player.
This time, I checked the explanation that appeared in the system window.
[Proof of the White Legion.
Proof that he is a soldier belonging to the White Legion.
Name. Affiliation is engraved. If you have this, you can pass through the Legion’s protective barrier without any problems.
The White Legion is the largest knight corps with the greatest skills.
Everyone admired him, and so did this soldier.
Okay. Until we find out the truth.
So he deserted.]
“Oh…”
Was that soldier we eliminated earlier a deserter?
So the setup is that he was hiding in the ruins.
“It’s a protective barrier. It looks like the White Legion’s position is protected by a shield.”
I nodded at Homun’s words.
“I think there will be a quest to infiltrate the Legion later.”
Although I’m not sure right now. Without this token, there is a high possibility that even the most stealthy and mobile Raeband among us will not be able to break through the barrier.
Maybe. It must be a barrier blocked by the ‘game system’.
This also needs to be confirmed, so leave it aside and move on. A diary is important.
The only information that can be obtained from this token is speculation that it may be necessary to infiltrate the White Legion’s camp later.
It would be nice to have a clearer milestone than this…
We stared at the diary, and soon the system window was displayed.
[1P. My dream I ended up running away from the military unit I longed for.
Ah. Mother. Forgive me.
I was in despair…]
Raeband flinched.
The look on her face suggested that she had a bitter taste.
Although it’s a game setting, I feel uneasy after seeing the post about looking for my mother.
I understand.
This often happens when playing virtual reality games.
It feels uncomfortable even when playing games on a PC, but even more so in a virtual space that resembles reality.
In particular, Baekgye is not just a created virtual reality, but a real, real space.
“It’s okay. It’s just a setup.”
I comforted Raeband and turned the next page.
[2P. The pursuers caught up with me.
The people I admired while spying from afar are now chasing me like scary messengers.
I barely managed to escape from Jamis’ abandoned house.
How long can I run away…]
“Is that right?”
There’s a tracer in Jamis’ abandoned house.
I entered it in my head and turned to the next page. It was the last page.
[3P. Soon the white palace and the white knight will appear in the underworld.
Ah. Why does it still look so brilliant even now?
I feel like I’m going blind.]
“Hmm… White Palace? Underworld?”
“What does this mean?”
I thought a little about Homun’s words and then said.
“It must be an event.”
It is natural that events occur while playing a game.
After some time, the White Knight, who is presumed to be the final boss of the White World, will appear before us in some form.
The reason why I think he will appear in front of us is because I think that if we catch this soldier, an event will occur and he will appear in front of that person.
It’s just that the possibility is high, and it’s simply a place that everyone can see so that all players can see it. For example, the probability of it appearing in the sky is quite high.
The same goes for the expression “Coming down.”
“Then should I go back to the village? I’m also worried about Ms. Nelf.”
“No.”
The two people who had been walking stopped at my words and looked at me with puzzled faces.
“Let’s go to Jamis’ abandoned house.”
“No… Right now?”
Laband stared directly at my abdomen.
Homun thought for a moment and then said.
“Aren’t you worried about Miss Nelf?”
“Yeah. Not really.”
It seems like he wants to make me rest quickly, even if it means provoking my guilt. Me too. Nelf is not that weak either.
Nelf looks delicate on the outside, but is full on the inside.
“I don’t know what the wizards will do to Miss Nelf if we don’t go back.”
“Not right now. Even if we don’t come back for a few days. We don’t know if they went into hiding to keep from us, if the quest simply took too long, or if they died while doing the quest.”
Also. For the many reasons I explained to Raeband earlier, I will not mess with Nelf carelessly.
“I want to widen the gap with other players. If we don’t go back for a long time, they might show their true colors… I also have the same expectation.”
Because if you are an enemy outright, you can easily scold them.
Nelf may become a little more dangerous, though.
“That’s such a rubbish idea.”
Homun smiled bitterly, but seemed to agree with my thoughts.
What. This is an extreme prediction. For now, I simply want to widen the gap in specifications and at the same time disturb and make them anxious.
I want to decide our future policy by looking at their attitude when we return late.
“Nelf won’t be in danger. Quest content will vary greatly, so even if we go late, there’s no way for them to know whether we’re late for the quest or because of something else.”
“Okay. “But if she’s in danger, you go rescue her right away?”
Homun also agreed with my opinion and said.
If I think Nelf is really in danger, I will leave everything aside and go rescue him.
She feels a little guilty, but now that she has been taken hostage and our weakening has been discovered. I want to use what is available.
I saw Raeband this time.
She still had a sullen face.
“Raeband. This is an opportunity you can’t miss.”
Now that we have confirmed that the main quest reward is better than anything else. In order to take the lead, you have to do whatever it takes.
Our individual specifications still far exceed those of wizards, but there are too many of them.
You need enough strength and resources to press the number with your vagina.
“…Ugh. Okay. Who’s going to stop you if even the captain can’t stop you?”
“I can’t help it.”
Homun and Raeband took the lead, perhaps thinking that if they had already decided to do it, they should handle it quickly.
Raeband told her to wait a moment and she soon got a map, which showed that Zamis’ abandoned house was in the village next to hers.
Although it is dozens of kilometers away. At our speed, it’s not that far.
We ran.
Homun and Raeband took care of my physical condition throughout the trip.
Big…! This feeling of being cared for!
I can’t believe the day has come when the warrior party cares so much about me!
Should I try to get hurt on purpose sometimes?
The entire village next door was gloomy, and Jamis’ abandoned house was even more gloomy.
The huge four-story mansion where noblemen once lived was cracked and faded, and several temporary buildings were even collapsed.
It kills the mood.
“But this house. It doesn’t look that big. Are there still tracers?”
“There must be at least a clue.”
The fact that the pursuers didn’t go after the warrior right away was acceptable for the sake of the game.
I think there are probably 9 out of 10 people there.
And when we entered the abandoned house… We felt something was wrong.
In addition to the goblins and bipedal beasts I had seen in the cave earlier, things that looked like crystal balls were rolling around on the floor.
Monsters and beads were all melted, and I could feel the heat.
Some parts of the house were broken.
“This can’t be right…”
“I see there are passengers.”
I never thought he would have come sooner than us.
What comes to mind is that stranger. It was strong.
He’s much better at the game than the wizards, and he won’t get injured, so it’s understandable that he’s faster than us.
But. Open it.
“How will we do it?”
“Let’s go.”
There is no option to come this far and back down.
Even if it’s just to get a clue to the next main quest.
If there is conflict with the passengers… You will have to be prepared to commit murder.
We quickly walked inside, and the heat grew stronger.
I soon found the basement, and it was very spacious.
Raeband exclaimed, “Hey. There’s still a tracer left to investigate.”
Coo… Wow… Wow…
A faint roar was heard in the distance, so we carefully reduced our presence and headed toward the source of the roar.
The roar was getting closer and closer, and the heat was now at a level where I felt like I could get burned if I made a mistake.
The presence is clearly felt.
Just around the corner, you’ll know who the passenger is.
We winked at each other and walked together, leaning against the corner of the hallway and sticking our heads out to check inside.
Dump! Slurp!
Those who had just fallen were much larger than the white warrior we had captured earlier.
They are the pursuers.
And standing in front of the fallen people was a person wearing red robes. Three.
Among them…
“Come out.”
The man in the middle growled.
We went out obediently.
That man would have definitely sensed our presence.
“I never thought you were here.”
Homun opened his mouth first, and the man also looked surprised.
“As expected, you also came into this ridiculous place.”
“Hello, Lord Red Tower.”
Homun let out a loud voice, and the enemy tower lord Kranium snorted.
The snort turned into a flame and burned brightly.
Kranium’s eyes stared at each of us.
I read the magic in his eyes, and then he grinned. He smiled wickedly.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
A large man walked in front of me.
“Hello, Gwangyeom. I wanted to say hello.”
“Hello…”
“But. Don’t you have something to apologize to me for?”
“…”
Why do you interrupt others?
“What do you mean?”
“You have openly insulted our Lygia.”
Giggling. The two wizards on either side of Kranium laughed darkly.
“As one of the people in charge of Lygia, I think you deserve an apology.”
“Hey. You.”
Her angry rae band tried to step forward, but I stopped her with one of her arms.
This man. The magic earlier was to check our physical condition.
I realized that we were extremely weak and that I was seriously injured.
On the other hand, this man brings his knowledge and skills and is clearly superior to us.
I seem to have become quite familiar with the game system.
Besides, I guess. It seemed like he came ‘earlier’ than us.
A disadvantageous situation in many ways.
You should bow your head.
“I’m a stranger, so I’m a bit lacking in etiquette. I apologize.”
“Hmph… Um…”
Cranium’s eyes that were laughing became round, and then they turned red and started to growl. Lava fell down.
My right hand was raising my middle finger.
“This is our stranger’s apology gesture.”
