Chapter 315 – Allied Powers of Elance
‘Oh, now that I think about it…’
There is a Great Labyrinth in each of the three major powers, including the Empire, and the name of the Great Labyrinth located in the Allied State of Elance was Murim.
As the name suggests, the worldview of the Great Labyrinth and the world beyond was martial arts, and strictly speaking, it was also Dohwa’s hometown.
After recalling those facts, Jun sent Lila out, promising to call her again.
Labyrinth-Murim.
I thought it was a place I had to go to someday, but since I held that time after conquering the Labyrinth and Demon Castle, I didn’t know much about it other than the name and world view.
As far as Jun knew, among the three great labyrinths, the only one that was actively moving to break the seal placed by Lucy and invade again was the Labyrinth-Demon Castle.
The Labyrinth in the Republic of Verde was no longer moving after an attempt 200 years ago, and although the Labyrinth-Wurim was moving, it was less dangerous than the Labyrinth-Demon Castle.
But why did Laila and the Elance Alliance make such a request?
Could it be that he is conspiring to take himself and the warrior saint to their country like one of the rumors circulating in the imperial palace?
“That won’t be it, darling. “This request is probably because they really need our help.”
“Why? “Isn’t Labyrinth-Murim a place with low risk?”
“Well, well… Before I tell you the reason, let me tell you what Labyrinth-Worim is and what Yongbongjihoe is.”
Our hero Elysia, who was worried about a moment about how to explain, soon began to explain about the labyrinth-Worim and Yongbongjihoe.
According to her explanation, unlike the Labyrinth-Demon Castle, which is divided into several floors, the Labyrinth-Wurim consists of one floor, and the size of one floor is equivalent to the size of two or three kingdoms attached. Br〉
It is said that the enemies that appear within the labyrinth are also different from the Labyrinth-Demon King. In the Labyrinth-Demon Castle, most of the monsters except for a few boss mobs or named monsters are duplicates created through records, but all the enemies that appear in the Labyrinth-Wurim are the real ones that came from the World-Worim. It is said.
The Yongbong branch is a duel arena where the martial arts people and the adventurers of the Elance United Kingdom, those under the age of 20, compete to compete, and as a reward, the side to which the final winner belongs will receive one of the castles built throughout the labyrinth. It is said that you will pick one to occupy.
“It is said that before the Yongbong branch was formed, war was fought recklessly. As a result, countless casualties occurred, and the current Yongbong Branch was created through an agreement between representatives of both sides who could not understand the situation.”
After the creation of the Yongbong Branch, the number of casualties occurring in the Labyrinth-Murim has decreased significantly, and Elysia added that that is why the difficulty level of the Labyrinth-Murim was set low.
“The castle can only be occupied by Yongbongjihoe? “Can’t it be a normal siege?”
“It is possible, but it is virtually impossible because if one side occupies the castle, the castle and its surrounding area will be granted beneficial blessings to the side that occupies the castle.”
“Then the victory or defeat of the Yongbong Branch will be very important.”
If you win repeatedly in the Dragonbong Branch and take over all the castles in the labyrinth, the blessing of God Bright will be granted to the entire labyrinth, so it will be the same as conquering the labyrinth.
On the other hand, if you are defeated repeatedly and all the castles in the labyrinth are taken away, the blessings of the martial arts gods will spread throughout the labyrinth and the activities of adventurers will be discouraged, and the sealed invasion route will be quickly unsealed.
In some ways, it was no different from rock, paper, scissors when playing ttangttameok, but the importance of the Yongbong branch was on a different level.
In order to prevent the martial arts world from re-invading, victory had to be achieved at the Yongbong Branch at any cost.
‘Wait for a sec. Then, the Elance United Kingdom asks you to attend the Yongbong branch…’
Jun, who expected an ominous ending, stammered and asked Elysia.
“Sia, is it possible that the adventurer side of the Elance Alliance is losing unilaterally?”
“Very unfortunately… Yes. It is said that the ratio of castles won after losing in the recent Yongbong branch meeting was exactly 8 to 2.”
“… Just in case, I would like to ask, who is 8?”
“The martial arts world.”
Elysia smiled bitterly and answered like that.
“… Why did it happen like that?”
Jun truly couldn’t understand.
The United States of Elance is a country created by the gathering of various races.
Naturally, the adventurers were also made up of various different races.
Most other races are stronger than humans.
This is because when Lucy created life, she emphasized diversity for humans and racial characteristics for other races.
Therefore, while humans are born with a variety of abilities but do not receive racial characteristics, other races have limited types of abilities but are able to receive racial characteristics and show even greater power.
But why on earth is the Allied Powers of Elance so far behind?
There are beastmen who are a different world’s fighting race, and there are elves who have unrivaled mana affinity.
“It is said that the greatest genius of all time was born in the martial world. They say that even if you win all the other martial arts contestants, you can’t beat that one person.”
“That’s a problem. The condition for awarding castles is not which side wins more, but which side is the final winner. Even a high elf can’t beat that genius?”
“Yes. You said earlier that only those under the age of 20 can participate. Considering the racial characteristics of elves that grow slowly, elves are allowed to participate until the age of 100, when they are considered adults, but spirit summoning is restricted. However, it is said that the talents of high elves who can participate are concentrated on spirit summoning.”
“… I didn’t ask for help for nothing.”
A situation where the enemy’s genius shows off his outstanding talent, while the ally’s genius has his outstanding talent castrated.
It was truly a total mess.
“Do you want us to stop that genius?”
“I guess so.”
Elysia’s consent.
I looked around at the other lovers to see if they had any other thoughts. There seemed to be no particular difference of opinion.
“Haam~. So what are you going to do with Jouni?”
Fortuna, who was enjoying a nap on Jun’s head like a cat, stretched out and asked.
The answer was almost certain.
“Let’s go to Elance.”
――――――
Perhaps because she was extremely anxious, Lila did not go anywhere and continued to stand in front of Jun’s office door.
When I told her the decision I had made earlier, she sighed with relief and was very happy.
Afterward, she hurriedly told Lila to leave for the Allied Powers of Elance, but Jun again told her to wait.
Because she had something to do before she left.
“What on earth is that! “It’s dangerous if you don’t hurry!”
Lila stamped her feet in her nervousness.
That’s right, it takes at least 3 months to travel from the capital of the empire to the labyrinth city within the Elance Alliance.
Since the Yongbong branch is held every quarter, if you do not hurry, you may not be able to participate in the next Yongbong branch.
In that situation, are you delaying your time because you have something to do?
Is that task more important than the safety of the world?
“It’s not as good as that, but it’s still important.”
I handed over the administrative work that had not been returned to the empire and explained the situation to my acquaintances.
It was something that any responsible member of society could never miss.
‘Well, that’s not the only reason.’
The opponent is a genius who cannot defeat even the warrior race of beastmen and the fraud race of elves.
Jun can do that well, but he needed to improve his skills just in case.
After fulfilling all the responsibilities of a member of society as mentioned above, I planned to receive training under the 10 stars for a few days.
“If you do that, you’ll be late! You can still train there, so let’s go quickly. Yes?”
“Do not worry. Because I will never be late.”
Jun smiled and told me the reason.
Layla was skeptical, but nodded.
After letting Lila go, June moved on to fulfill her responsibilities as a member of society.
He handed over his work to someone else and explained the situation to his acquaintances, including Emperor Arthur.
Meanwhile, when he stopped by the Vatican, June received unexpected news from Harry.
“Who is where?”
“Father Leonard and Uncle Robin are in the United States of Elance.”
“Why did those guys go there?”
Upon hearing news of the two people for the first time in a long time, Jun recalled information about the two people.
Leonard.
The priest of the orphanage where Jun grew up and Leon’s biggest supporter.
Robin.
Henny’s father and a person who pretends to be Leonard’s messenger in order to repay the favor he has received from Leonard.
The two followed Leon when he went to the capital.
So when he just arrived in the capital, he looked for the two people to see their faces, but no matter how much he searched, he couldn’t find them.
It turned out that the two had left the capital for a certain purpose as soon as Leon regained the throne.
Even Henny and Leon did not know the purpose, and the occasional letters addressed to them only briefly stated that they were well.
Given that situation, the news Harry delivered was astounding.
Could it be that he knows their purpose and situation?
“Yes, in a way, I am involved.”
Harry smiled bitterly and then told the two of them their purpose and someone’s name.
Frank
It was a name I hadn’t heard in a really long time.
