Chapter 255

Episode 255 Open World (4)

Explorers age much faster than normal people.

Yes, the higher you go, the more time you spend in the labyrinth.

One expedition may last for half a year.

‘But why is he so young?’

It’s been a while since I looked at the platinum-haired man with pomade style and questioned him.

I gulped.

Before wondering about the secret to a youthful appearance, there was information to be sorted out first.

[I heard you are in the palace. When did you come here?]

Baek-ho Lee was in the palace when the city was on fire.

[Who wants to set fire? Without my permission.]

It was the ruinist who set the fire…….

“Do you want to die?”

Lee Baek-ho is furious with that fact.

If so, what is the reason?

Even the Annihilator, the target of his anger, frowned, as if he had guessed anything.

“I don’t understand at all. Why are you hostile to me? It’s probably the same for you who became comfortable thanks to me.”

“I don’t want to get comfortable. It’s not like the king will go outside just because you burn this place.”

“Oh, was the king really the purpose?”

Even in the midst of this, the ruin scholar, perhaps throwing a bait, glistened at Lee Baek-ho’s answer.

But…

“What? The king’s purpose?”

Lee Baek-ho laughed as if he was pathetic.

“Grandpa really doesn’t know anything. It’s okay. It’s annoying to explain.”

Lee Baek-ho moves his hands like chasing flying flies.

“…You’re more uneducated than I’ve heard.”

Perhaps this was the first time he had been treated like this, even the Annihilator did not hide his uncomfortable feelings.

Of course, Lee Baek-ho didn’t even bat an eye.

“Yeah, the uncultured one is the one who gives off a hoarse voice while talking back to me. Ha, really, buy some new dentures. The rotten me is vibrating all the way here.”

“What what…?”

A ruinist who spat out a word and was beaten in the pit of the stomach.

“Oh, goyan…….”

Seeing him spit rave reviews with his beard trembling, it was as if the winner had already been decided.

Well, I can’t imagine the scene where that old man defeats Lee Baek-ho, who inherited the spirit of a K-gamer, with words.

“Now, let’s get down to business.”

Lee Baek-ho went to the main point as if the ruin scholar’s fury was good.

“So how are you going to take responsibility? My soup restaurant. It got burned because of you.”

It was the root cause of the guy running mad.

“Ku-ku-kum…?”

The ruin scholar didn’t even seem to understand what he was talking about, but Lee Baek-ho didn’t care and vomited his anger.

“Although he was an NPC, he was the one who made it the most plausible after hearing what he said. He said later that he would make diced radish kimchi too…” “

…I wonder if there was even an alchemy workshop in Karnon?”

“Alchemy is Niimi.”

Lee Baek-ho spat badly on the floor.

“This is why I can’t talk to NPCs. If it was Hansoo hyung, I would have been angry with him.”

My body flinched when I came up with my story out of the blue, but I probably got angry at the same time. Could it be that there was a place in this city where rice soup could be made?

‘……If there is such a place, you should have told me in advance! I haven’t even tried it yet!’

Anger towards both wells up.

Of course, there was nothing I could do about it.

Except for pretending to be an ignorant barbarian and watching the situation.

“So what do you want?

Soon the Annihilator attempted to negotiate.

It was a rather surprising sight.

The madman who set fire to the entire south of Karnon is trying to solve it through dialogue like a moderate? At what level is Lee Baek-ho’s status, so this grandpa is like this?

I don’t know the details yet, but one thing is for sure.

“Pull out your dentures.”

“……?”

“You said you’d make up for it? If you’re really sorry, pull out all those rotten dentures with your own hands. Then I’ll take care of it.”

When he was an enemy, he was more picky than anything else, but when he was an ally, he was extremely reliable.

Baekho Lee.

“……I don’t know what you misunderstood, but these aren’t like false teeth—”

“Fuck it.”

As if announcing the breakdown of negotiations, Lee Baek-ho took a step forward.

and said

“Then what is this?”

Words that no one here can understand.

Just a moment was enough.

Tadat.

I heard a light tapping on the ground.

Whit.

Immediately, Lee Baek-ho’s new model disappeared.

I don’t know what the agility level is, but the only thing I could confirm with my dynamic eyesight was a fleeting moment-to-moment scene.

Lee Baek-ho clenched his fists.

An anarchist with a bewildered expression.

And…….

Shaaaaaaaaaat-!

A magical curtain that blocks the gap between the two.

It was a combination of ‘danger detection assistance’ and ‘protective shield’, which are essential for wizards to survive in the world of roguelike.

Judging by the purple color, the density of magic power is almost the best.

That’s enough to withstand an ogre’s punch once.

But…

Kwajijijik-!

Lee Baek-ho’s fists couldn’t stand it.

“……!”

A magic curtain that soon shatters like shards of glass.

Instead, as if offset, the blue energy of Lee Baek-ho’s fist also lost its light.

It was not a meaningful achievement for the ruinologist.

Because bare fists were enough to prove it.

Poo-!

After the exchange of hands that took place in an instant, Lee Baek-ho’s fist was thrust into the chin of the destroyer.

At the same time, something white splashed with blood.

“See, you lied right.”

Lee Baek-ho snatched it out of the air and clicked his tongue.

“If it’s not dentures, why do they fall out?”

As far as I can see, this bastard was crazy.

***

“Are you sure you want to see the end?”

Unexpectedly, the one-hit ruinist quickly stood up. And he looked at Lee Baek-ho with eyes without any emotion.

“If you want to do more, I won’t avoid it.”

“Wow, isn’t this the first time a mage bastard said something like that in close combat?”

Lee Baek-ho laughed as if it was unreasonable, but apart from that, he didn’t seem to look at the other person easily.

Yes, Lee Baek-ho was also injured.

‘Why is he hurt?’

I still don’t understand.

After the ‘danger detection shield’ was broken, the ruinist put on an additional shield, and Lee Baek-ho broke even that with his bare fists and brushed off the corn.

And that’s all of the water exchanges I’ve seen.

“Two.”

Lee Baek-ho asked, spitting bloody saliva on the floor.

“What was that at the end?”

“It’s a simple curse spell.” Sёarᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“There’s no way I’m going to get cursed or something like that?”

“It must be a method that you know about? Wasn’t it temporarily out of touch with the body? At that time, the circuit was connected and the magic was completed using your body as a medium.”

“Ah, that’s why my resistance didn’t work.”

Lee Baek-ho nodded as if he understood.

Now that I see it, most of the old wizards in this world seem to know how to use it.

Ha, there was no scam application like that in the game.

“But this also doesn’t make sense. Did you do that in that brief moment? The others took more than a few seconds to connect?”

“I was the one who created this applied technique, so shouldn’t I do something like this?”

“Wow, was it you who made this damn technology?”

Baek-ho Lee glares at the ruin scholar as if acknowledging his adversary.

It was the same on the Annihilator side.

“I know your circumstances. I’m guessing to some extent why you came out of the royal family.”

“so?”

“Since we’ve met, I’ll make you an attractive proposal.”

“Tell me what.”

Lee Baek-ho asked back as if he was curious.

It seems that this side is more curious than the revenge of the soup restaurant NPC.

For some reason, the air current was strange, so I quietly took a backward step.

It was then.

“First of all, why don’t we finish with that friend and have a conversation?”

The Annihilator said that and moved his gaze to me.

Ha, I didn’t expect this development again.

‘Nimiral.’

My heart is pounding.

Even one ruin scholar is desperate for life, so if I can help Lee Baek-ho here, there is no other way for me.

Except for revealing that he is ‘Lee Han-soo’ and appealing to Jung.

“That’s not allowed.”

I had the worst in mind, but fortunately Lee Baek-ho rejected the ruin scholar’s proposal.

You know I’m a player.

So it wasn’t an emotional reason like I couldn’t watch him die.

“Then I guess I’m moving the way you intended.”

It was simply taking the lead.

But would such an attitude be harsh?

The Ruinist said as if to persuade a difficult child to deal with.

“The author is now a nobleman.”

“however?”

“As long as you’re at odds with the royal family, you’re a potential enemy after all.”

It sounded pretty reasonable to me.

Fortunately, Lee Baek-ho didn’t even hear it this time.

“So what? I have the confidence to control him on my own, so don’t worry about it.”

It was obvious what the source of that confidence was.

Because he knows I’m a player.

No matter how close you become to the royal family, you must be confident enough to make an idiot in an instant.

‘If this is the case, does the discovery of his true identity actually work in a good way…?’

“Then… I guess I’ll have to move.”

In the end, even the ruin scholar couldn’t break Lee Baek-ho’s stubbornness and let go of his desire to kill me.

Well, from his point of view, Lee Baek-ho is more important than me.

“Oh, I told you in advance, but you don’t use teleport?”

“Telpo…?”

“Teleportation. You’d rather be in the lead. I’ll follow. It’s okay to be foolish, but be prepared to die at that time.”

“……Then let’s move first.”

Soon, the Annihilator rose into the air with a servant-like man behind him.

It was floating magic.

“What are you looking at? I’ll follow you on my own, so go first.”

Soon, the Annihilator stared at Lee Baek-ho for a few seconds before disappearing over the flames.

With this, one crisis has passed.

But it was too early to put my mind at ease.

One of Lee Baek-ho’s characteristics is that he can’t tell where he will bounce.

“hey.”

“……why.”

I said it without bothering to hide it.

Then Lee Baek-ho smiled and said…

“Did I save you once?”

I left with this one word.

My head went blank for some reason.

‘Wasn’t it just about taking the initiative when I told you not to kill me?’

Well I’m still not sure which one.

But if that’s the case…

‘It might be a little touching.’

I wiped the ash-stained bridge of my nose with my hand.

“Write.”

Baby.

He said he didn’t build things like that.

***

Raven arrived shortly after Lee Baek-ho and the Annihilator left.

“Mr. Yandel!”

Perhaps thanks to the value of the ruin scholar’s name, Raven had a battalion of knights and a large number of war wizards mixed in behind her.

“I’m here to save you… Huh? Why is no

one …….” Raven put on a puzzled expression when the ruinologist was nowhere to be seen. The royal family troops who followed had similar faces

.

Are you saying that ‘he’ came and started fighting the Annihilator?” ”

Suddenly, the two of them fought and then disappeared in an instant.”

“Do you know why he was against the Annihilator?” ”

Well! I’m not sure about that!”

There was one reason for simplifying the case as much as possible.

Some people might think that Lee Baek-ho helped me with just this circumstance.

” You’ve been really lucky.”

“Then, we’ll go out first.” After that, the

Royal

Family troops left to investigate the surroundings, and Raven and I watched for a while before going outside. The

first thing that greeted us was the survivors who had come out first . It was.

The lives of the 10 people that Raven and I worked so hard to save.

Everyone bowed down to me with dark ash-stained faces.

Of course, that time was short.

That’s right, people don’t die just because they don’t get a thank you, right?

“Huh? Where are you going?”

Raven questioned as I turned around.

To be honest, I was exhausted from work and just wanted to rest, but…

“I made a promise.”

“…A promise?”

Instead of receiving fire property equipment and consumables, I said to the wizard Leven Arpegun, ”

If I can afford it, I will try my best.

Raven gave a puzzled look for a moment, but he didn’t stop me or scold me for saying it was pointless.

” I’ll be helping you.”

Well, let’s do our best in each position?

I looked down at Raven as if I was proud and moved my body over the flames again.

And about 12 hours later, rain poured down like a flood and the fire started. Until I was suppressed,

I

saved a total of 17 people.

In movies and cartoons, it was a shabby number that was difficult to use as a main episode …….

“The character’s fame has risen +1. 』

「The character’s reputation has increased by +1.」

「The character’s reputation has increased by 1……」

「……」

「……」

That’s my It was for the best.
