Geumje (26)
“W7 Master. Archery 2-way conversion. Occupy in rotation from G1 to 7 in order.”
widely!
When the black stones were placed on the chessboard, the white stones flipped over into the black stones, filling the board.
“My 49th victory.”
“Aaaah!!”
When Lennok, who was sitting at the table overlooking the training ground, withdrew his hand, Belver screamed.
“As promised, the stake for the five-hundred-ro bet is 200,000 cells. “I’ll take it.”
“no. do not do that!”
Belver desperately grabbed Lennok’s sleeve and clung to him.
“You shameful bastard. “If you have that much money, are you going to take away the pocket money of a mercenary brat?…!!”
“I guess they were the ones who suggested betting first.”
Lennok, who resolutely shook off Belver’s hand, picked up two bills and smiled.
“I just happen to be short on cash these days. “Thank you.”
“Do not lie!!”
At the same time as Bellver’s desperate cry, other people who were watching also showed shocked expressions.
Mila, who was chewing chicken skewers with her hands stuck in her jumper, grumbled.
“You have to lower your level of condescension. “Who will believe you if you say you have no money?”
“Business is not just about making a profit.”
Lennoch answered, calmly stuffing the bill into his front shirt pocket.
“Of course, all profits from the tower are being reinvested to build a stable environment for the tower.”
“Who would believe such an obvious excuse?”
“that’s right. “It’s a lie.”
Lennok, who coolly acknowledged this, made a solemn expression.
“So, let’s finish today the salary negotiation at the Antares office, which has been renewed every quarter.”
“You were wrong, boss!!”
“We will take good care of it so that ugly stock traders will never talk nonsense again!”
Jenny, who was watching from the side, shook her head with a pitiful expression.
“It’s very brutal. “Have you been planning something and practicing?”
“A heart that comes from the heart needs no practice.”
“If you can’t even talk…”
Jenny sighed and asked as she filled in her signature in the blank space on the payment document.
“So why are you suddenly gathering people together and having them play board games?”
Megalopolis Balkan District 49. A training center located at the back gate of the Lightning Tower.
The vacant lot that was originally used as the company’s training ground is now being used by expanding the magic tower.
The midday sunlight poured down on the transparent dome of the training center, and the sound of cheers rang out in the training hall.
It’s the first holiday in a while to take a break from work at the Magic Tower.
Lennok had gathered together mercenaries and freelancers he knew and was suddenly teaching them the Five Hundred Pros.
[Arururrung~]
The cry of a pure white baby dragon lying on the platform while scratching its belly.
Several people are engrossed in the five-hundred-roe while listening to the languid cooing of the guardian spirit beast.
A chess board and stones were placed on a platform erected to avoid the shade, and people were sitting on each board.
widely!
“Weian, am I sure I won this?”
“no. Still need to see more. wait.”
“There are no more stones to flip in the chess board…”
A conversation between Wei An and Dylan that makes it questionable whether they fully understand the game.
[Homa. Blame it. Each bow. The terminology is all different, but it is a rule that governs the turning and turning of stones.]
“What Manson said is correct. The rules are applied differently in each area, but they can be overturned at any time depending on the layout-”
Su-ryun teaches the rules while playing a game with Manson, who quickly learns and applies the rules.
Milana Belita also starts looking around the chessboard and placing the five hundred pieces one by one.
Perhaps because it was Lennok’s order, everyone is much more active in the game than expected.
Jenny asked, looking at the surroundings with a confused expression.
“I know it’s training, but is this helpful?”
“Obaekro is a strategy board game created by Jin Dun, and its basis is closely related to barrier art.”
Lennok said.
“In other words, learning the Five Hundred Roads itself is the fastest way to learn the techniques of the drinking technique.”
“….”
“You will be able to quickly master the basics of the Ouroboros magic system that I taught you through the Five Hundred Pros.”
Lennok, who said that, nodded towards Jenny.
“I told you, Jenny, you don’t have to do it. “This is a special training designed for those who are relatively slow to master the magic system.”
“…no. “Other people are doing it, so I can’t not do it.”
Jenny shook her head and glanced away.
“I just had something to talk about with Zordon…”
“….”
Tatiana and Zordon sitting across from the game board right behind Lennok.
“D83 reversal. L11 pure. Construction completed from R4 to 19.”
“Stock up J99. B4 life and death. “Re-occupy parcel c103 by adding 1,000 won and a long sentence.”
They are looking at the chess board with extremely concentrated faces without making eye contact with each other.
The only time they open their mouths is to exchange numbers and explain the changes in the stones.
“Something strange is happening….”
“Was this the Five Hundred Prosciutto? “Then what did I keep until now?”
As a war mage who had been active on the central front for a long time and a top disciple of the Magic Tower, it was not surprising that Tatiana was good at using the Five Hundred Prosthesis.
Even Lennok had not expected that Zorden, who was not a high-ranking superhuman, would be so good at handling the Five Hundred Pros.
It’s not just about continuing the match, it’s about competing on equal footing with Tatiana, a level 7 mage.
Mila also inadvertently expressed her admiration with a surprised expression.
“I never thought the old bartender would be this good at the game.”
“Gakung in reverse order from H33 to 44.”
“Pyeongcheon vertically from F19 to I19.”
widely! widely!
Every time Tatiana and Jordan place a stone, the right corner of the chessboard flips between black and white.
It’s a match between two people who persistently target only one section and turn it over, as if they don’t care about the other sections.
“Why aren’t they putting stones somewhere else?”
“This is because the bridge stones are concentrated in the right section.”
After finishing the match with Manson, Soo-ryeon naturally answered Belita’s questions.
“The moment you occupy that area, your superiority will naturally extend to other areas, so there is no reason to share your power.”
“…Does it feel like fighting over a strategic point on a battlefield?”
“That’s accurate. But there is only a limited amount of space to place stones-”
Tak!!
As soon as Tatiana put down the white stone, the right corner turned white.
But on the contrary, this time the left corner is completely covered in black.
Tatiana and Jordon’s eyes met as if they had promised.
“Young Master. “It’s pretty good.”
Tatiana, who was staring at Zorden’s face, smiled deeply.
“I’m not at the level where I can just say I know how to handle this. “It’s not like you used to be a high-ranking magician or anything like that, right?”
“Chiglet, your skills are truly outstanding.”
Zordon smiled softly at her.
“If this is the case, you won’t have to face embarrassment in a big game.”
“Well, that’s right. “Of all the classmates at the top, I was the best.”
Tatiana nodded obediently and lifted the stone.
“I’ll win this time, so let’s try again next time.”
“Right. “I’d like to take a step back this time, but…”
Jordon laughed.
“You can’t do it in vain because the class is watching.”
“what?”
widely!
As soon as Jordan put down the black stone, all the white stones lined up on the edge turned over into black stones.
Tatyana momentarily stopped her hand on the white stone that created the area near half of the plate as her home.
Jordan said, putting down the stone.
“If you tally it up, it’s probably just half to one point more.”
“….”
“It wasn’t Chiglet’s mistake, it happened because I was holding the black stone, so don’t be upset.”
“Right. Was it a defeat to have a successor without knowing the old man’s skills?”
Tatiana belatedly nodded and smiled.
“It’s fun. It was a good provocation. “I feel a little feverish.”
“I didn’t mean that…”
“Try again.”
“No, there’s something I need to talk about with Van…”
Jorden glanced in this direction, but couldn’t resist Tatiana’s insistence and sat down on the chessboard again.
“….”
While Jenny was looking at the scene with a bewildered expression, Belver sat back down in front of Lennok, sighing.
“half. Raise the stakes further. “This time we will start with 400,000 cells.”
Belver boldly took out four bills and the other mercenaries immediately scolded him.
“Are you crazy?” “The opponent is an archmage.”
“Why are you trying to beat Ban?”
“No, but the class folds 20 moves first!”
Belver also raised his voice as if he had nothing to say.
Belver said, pointing to the chessboard with a slightly excited look.
“Of course, I’m not going to compare my skills to Ban’s, but Ban doesn’t do anything for 20 moves, so why don’t you challenge me? “Are you all fearless bastards?”
“….”
The other mercenaries, including Mila, remained silent as if they were completely unconvinced by those confident words.
This is probably because they have never even heard of a handicap that allows them to fold 20 moves in a board game.
“It’s natural to take risks when investing. “How big is the number 20?”
Belver seemed to think so as well, straightening his shoulders and proudly holding out his stake.
“Even if I attack Ban with a weapon, my odds of winning are as long as Ban makes 20 moves-”
“Do you want to die?”
“If you ask me if this is coming or not, I’m crossing the line.”
“….”
Belver quietly silenced Belita and Mila’s cold rebuttal.
“I want to help you through the training, but I have a lot of work to do. “I’m sorry.”
Lennok laughed as he looked at Belver, who was holding a black stone with a sullen expression.
“So, I prepared the tools needed for training separately.”
“A tool?”
thud!!
As I tapped my coat sleeve, a large tablet fell on the training center podium.
A white search bar is blinking on the touch screen with the power on and the light blinking.
“tablet…?”
“Is this a tool that will help me train the five white heron?”
“This is a new search artificial intelligence that I recently created. “I run a site on the deep web.”
Lennok said, holding up the tablet.
“I thought that if I just created a site and threw it away, it would go viral on its own, but it turns out that the shadowy network is not that easy.”
“….”
“Isn’t this the era of self-PR? “First of all, we should start by promoting and disseminating it to the employees of the Magic Tower.”
“No… some kind of search artificial intelligence.”
Jenny and Mila looked perplexed at Lennok’s answer.
“If you throw something like this away without even saying you made it, of course it will get buried.”
“Do you even want to go viral? If you look for the companies, you will find a lot of them. “Shall I do it for you?”
“No, I entrusted the promotion to a famous heavy uploader…”
Lennok cleared his throat and spoke quietly.
“It seems like everything was treated as aggro and buried due to too much publicity. “Public opinion became so negative that we decided to try another method.”
“….”
[….]
While everyone was speechless at that absurd explanation, Dabi twitched his tail as if he had been stabbed.
Lennok said calmly while lightly pinching the tail of the sprawling spirit.
“The promise is the same as the first time. “If you win in a battle with artificial intelligence, I will acknowledge your victory.”
“…Have a battle with search artificial intelligence and the Five Hundred Pros?”
“Of course, you can use it for search purposes. “I am introducing it to you here in the first place for performance testing and promotional purposes.”
Lennok looked around, smiled and nodded.
“As promised to Bellver, I will give up 20 moves and start. And if you win the game against artificial intelligence-”
The reason why the mercenaries and freelancers gathered here were strangely absorbed in learning the Five Hundred Roads.
The reason why Belver risked money recklessly and asked Lennok to bet 500 won.
That was because of the one condition that Lennok had mentioned when he summoned the people in the name of training.
“I will grant you any wish you wish, regardless of the reason.”
“….”
I grant you one wish.
No one was there to laugh at Lennok’s assertion, which was as absurd as a genie’s lamp.
A level 8 archmage. The owner of the only magic tower in the huge city.
Because everyone knew that if such a person made up his mind and used his status and abilities, he could literally achieve anything.
“It’s a wish….”
“You really grant anything, right?”
“Anything within my power.”
Lennok nodded.
“I have received a similar request from Felix before, so please check with me later.”
“Oh, then I have one question.”
Belita raised her hand and smiled sheepishly.
“Is there a random box you showed us before? “Can I use that again?”
“Random box?”
Lennok, who had been inadvertently asking questions, realized what Belita was saying and nodded.
“You were talking about the Ascension Gate. Of course.”
“really?”
“If you concede 20 moves to the artificial intelligence and win, I will give you a free pass to the Ascension Gate.”
“…!!”
Are you saying that just by winning the Five Hundred Pross Battle, you will be able to use that amazing artifact as much as you like, not just once?
Tatiana and Zordon’s hand movements on the chessboard became more cautious, and
the mercenaries who had been listening also sat in front of the chessboard and tablet again with serious expressions.
Even if it wasn’t necessarily a simple ascension gate, everyone understood that Lennok was definitely planning to provide training rewards.
Lennok, seeing the quiet training ground, nodded with satisfaction.
“Even if it’s not a wish, I will personally prepare a reward for anyone who shows progress in their five-hundred-ro skills, so I hope everyone will work hard.”
Although the Ouroboros magic system was started, it was neglected, but in order for the magic tower to function properly, the magic system must eventually be taught and inherited in some way.
Lennok realized that the Five Egrets were helpful in transmitting the magic system, which had been sluggish, through having Arsnova’s strong artificial intelligence Heiberg and the Five Egrets.
There is a learning method guaranteed by the central city nobles, so there is no need for Lennok to use his brain to come up with a teaching method.
Of course, there was no one here who would neglect the training given by Lennok, but if it were a reward for granting their wish, everyone would rush in with a light in their eyes.
‘We’ll have to visit universities and research institutes in relation to the development of public magic… There’s a lot of work to be done.’
After the meeting is over, there is no time to rest for long just to take care of the work that was put off.
The harvests and gains that Lennok gained through various social statuses were not simply material benefits.
Acquiring useful knowledge and inspiration and using it to suit the surrounding environment also required a considerable amount of time.
Research on the two artifacts obtained from Anathema’s home has not yet been completed.
Lennok left the training center and headed to the basement of the training center.
Grrr!!
You can see shelves and a laboratory bench installed simply in a training room full of exercise equipment.
A grumpy poisonous toad was crying on the laboratory table, and Felix was standing in front of it.
“Whoa…!”
Raise your magic power by holding one hand in the toad’s hand.
The moment the magic power of arrival flowed into the cursemaw’s mouth, the toad muttered the magic power and spit it out.
Feisha, who was standing next to him, collected the liquid vomited by the toad into a test tube.
“You must be so fucking dirty…!!”
Even though he was annoyed, he closed the cap on the test tube and placed it on the shelf.
Felix, who was trying to catch his breath and put his hand in the toad’s mouth again, saw Lennok and turned his head.
“half?”
The bird-headed giant, who stroked the head of a burping toad and held it in his arms, walked towards Lennok.
“It looks like we’ve become a lot of friends.”
“I’m only interested in consuming curses and resentments, but I’m not an unintelligent fetish.”
Felix said and rubbed Cursemaw’s chin.
“I like it when you scratch my chin like this.”
[Queeeeeek.]
“….”
I couldn’t tell if it was a dying terminal or grooming, but Felix seemed to see something different.
Feisha said grumpily while shaking a test tube next to the workbench.
“Hey wizard. As you said, the magical power of arrival is being purified and extracted. Are you going to try it out right here?”
“No, first of all, I plan to take care of the work I put off a few days ago.”
“what?”
“We will have to test it when the cursemaw is feeling hungry like now.”
Lennok took out a ring that spread cold air and placed it on his palm.
“There is no reason to pass up the opportunity to uncover the secrets of the power used by the Kabahim Dynasty.”
Iceman. A national treasure of the Kabahim Dynasty and a seal symbolizing the royal family.
The reason Soryu used this relic so skillfully was probably because the ring itself was an item made for the royal family of Kabahim.
If you are not a legitimate user, it is an artifact that can be a curse rather than a blessing.
However, even though Lennok knew this, there was another reason why he wanted to investigate the ice man again here.
Considering the targeted resistance, you won’t be cursed in the first place, but here, the cursemaw is next to you.
Even if the Ice Man rejects Lennok and curses him, the Curse Maw will eat him and see his reaction.
After hearing Lennok’s explanation, Feisha shook her head in horror.
“I guess I’m just going to scrape the secret to the bottom… Did it really hurt your stomach that much when you lost the Taboo Medal?”
“If you’re going to talk nonsense, would you please leave the training room first? “I think it will interfere with my ability to concentrate.”
Lennok, holding up the ring, chuckled.
“Wait in front of the training room door. “Don’t let anyone in.”
“Damn. “I’m not some kind of housekeeping bastard-”
“I told you, if I fail, it’s your turn next.”
“….”
Feisha and Felix, with crumpled expressions, go out of the training room and lock the door.
I don’t know about Feisha, but Felix would not have listened to Lennok’s request in vain.
Wow…!!
The moment you put on the ring, your body becomes cold and you feel a chill as if the cross section of your skin is frozen.
Frost settled on my arms, hardened coldly, ran down my shoulders, and wrapped around my neck.
The moment I realized that it was shaped like an armor of cold energy covering my entire body.
click!!
The ring’s jewel rotated and spread out on both sides, taking the shape of a small seal.
“….”
This is my first time seeing the shape of the seal properly, but I remember how Soryu used this seal.
The moment Lennok, who was looking at the Ice Man’s Seal, pressed it to his wrist, he felt a force pulling his consciousness from inside the ring.
Although it is stopped with a targeted resistance ability, it is not a force caused by hostility or thought.
I released my resistance, closed my eyes, and quickly let my consciousness flow into the ring.
Hwaaaaa!!
A snowy mountain in a blizzard. Icebergs move between crevasses and avalanches explode.
A contradictory world that is constantly turbulent but quiet and where no sound is heard.
Even though everything is frozen, Lennok does not feel any cold.
This may be because this is not an actual reality, but a conscious space where intangible will enters and exits.
A huge monument made of ice stood tall at the top of the frozen snow mountain.
Hwioooo!!!
The monument, which stood like a transparent crystal monument, had someone’s name engraved on it.
A strange form that seems to have recorded the names of those who have visited this place.
Underneath the monument, a huge ice knight was kneeling, his entire body covered in frost.
“….”
A body several times larger than that of an ordinary human.
The armor is covered in ice and frost, making it difficult to even move.
The appearance of a knight frozen in time as he stood in front of the monument for a very long time.
The moment Lennok came right in front of the knight.
Blue eyes flashed between the helmets, and a heavy sound came out.
[The Ice Pure Land was not originally a sanctuary allowed to foreigners.]
Baaaaang!!
The snowstorm blowing in from all directions explodes and pushes back, and the sky turns blue in an instant.
When the knight raised his head in the middle of the quiet snowy mountain, the frost between his helmet fell down.
Toduk touduk touduk!!
[But you rejected the fate given to you and came here of your own will.]
“….”
[The fate of the end. And the end of fate.]
The knight’s eyes, flickering like a will-o’-the-wisp through his helmet, slowly faced Lennok.
[What do you want from this abandoned sanctuary?]
“…You are no ordinary heroic spirit.”
Lennok’s expression as he looked at the knight darkened.
A world of consciousness entered through the ice craftsman, a national treasure passed down from generation to generation of the Kabahim dynasty.
An abandoned sanctuary called Ice Jeongto. A strange message mentioning fate and the energy flowing from the knight’s body.
Because it all pointed to one possibility that was completely unexpected.
“Could it be that the Kabahim dynasty… signed a contract with foreign media?”
