Episode 420
There is a promised landscape in a big city with a population of over 1 million. Cars lined up on the road, noisy city scenes with horns and hologram billboards are all too familiar to modern people.
However, the green forest was alone and far away from such a big city. Even between the cold concrete buildings, it boasted the form of a huge old tree, and the surroundings were full of grass and trees.
But the most amazing thing was inside. The green forest was like the elves’ hideout. The interior, which was carved out of a huge tree, was all made of wood, and rare nature spirits were walking around in rows like ants.
Roja,
who was lying face down on the floor, muttered helplessly as she poked the spirit’s cheek with her finger.
“Hey swordsman. When did the Hunter Association say they would send someone?”
To Roger’s question, the handsome man in a suit answered weakly, still looking through the documents.
“one month.”
“What month?”
“It’s 25 days.”
“Two months. Cee...”
Laying on the floor, Rosa placed a hand on her forehead. My head was pounding at this rate and I couldn’t stand it.
“That raccoon inspiration. They talked about support and compensation, and then they neglected it like this, right?”
“It’s Tosa Gupaeng.”
“What is that?”
“When you catch all the rabbits, you boil the hounds. To put it simply, it is a story that the Master was abandoned by the president of the association because he had run out of usefulness.”
Roger rubbed his temples against the throbbing headache. As expected, every word the swordsman said scratched his temper.
“You are not wrong given that there was no support for two months after that. How much I struggled with Sardonyx and Rebellion...”
Roger was attacked by Nameless and all the mana in his body was blown away by the artifact. Thanks to half a year of time needed to recover it, the green forest was clearly feeling the vacancy of Roger, a 7th-level hunter.
“In this industry, rumors go too fast. Due to rumors that the guild master has become an asshole, most of the big requests have been cut off.”
The swordsman said as if it had nothing to do with himself as he polished his sword.
“Then what shall we do? These scandalous bastards of the Association... Should I just go and kill them all?”
“You don’t even have the strength to do that. I heard that the high-level spirits don’t even respond to summons.”
Roger spat out self-deprecating words, saying that we were ruined. If Aventino, the apostle of blue, was alive, the church would have sent reinforcements, but Aventino was no longer by Roger’s side.
“Ha...”
Roger let out a long sigh and looked at the wooden door.
“How nice it would be if reinforcements fell from the sky at a time like this. His skills are about level 6, he listens well to words, and even has steel stamina that allows him to run three times a day...”
Roger closed his eyes, wishing for dreamlike reinforcements like a child hoping for a gift from Santa.
* * *
For the position of president of the association, Shin Yoo-seong had to ‘naturally’ contact Five Star Roger.
Now, two Five Stars are already on Shin Kang-yoon’s side. Rosa’s support was a treasure Shin Yoo-seong had to acquire.
‘To use a giant tree instead of a building as a hideout... After all, elementals are different.’
When Shin Yoo-seong, who came to the green forest, sat in the VIP seat and waited for Roger, the old man wearing a bowler hat smiled benignly.
“I am really sorry about that. Are you from the association? Haha I didn’t think of that because he was wearing a school uniform.”
However, unlike the old man who welcomed Shin Yoo-seong, the black-haired woman wearing round earrings and taking care of her nails had a disapproving expression.
“I was sent a grade 4 that I couldn’t even use before, and now I’m a student. The association has also been corrupted a lot.”
“Why are you doing that, Ms. Yura? Didn’t you check this person’s skills already with Pocket?”
What the association issued to Shin Yoo-seong was a certified level 6. It was the same level as Yura, who was constantly taking care of her nails.
“Yes, that’s right.”
Shin Yoo-seong was surprised by such reasoning power, but Roger pointed out the more difficult part casually.
“Looking at your records, you went from being an inferior student to 6th grade within a year? Then it says that they absorbed at least level 7 fragments, but the assimilation rate will drop, so it won’t be the King of the Dead... Among the Arch Liches, there is no level 6... Because it’s a girl, what’s left is a witch?”
As a 7th level hunter, Roger’s experience and knowledge could never be ignored. With only fragmentary information, she eventually arrived at the correct answer.
“Is that the piece of Laplace that he absorbed?”
Shin Yoosung nodded his head and accepted it. He had no intention of divulging the piece of information, but there was no need to hide it from a colleague who had to entrust his life to him.
“you’re right. Sumire absorbed Laplace’s fragment. Thanks to that, the F-class attribute, Manager of the Dead, has been upgraded to a witch’s black magic.”
“Laplace, the Witch of Plague...”
Even the swordsman was surprised by the shocking story, and his complexion changed.
‘There are very few hunters who are chosen by the fragment. But he absorbed the fragments of the 7th grade boss...’
In addition, Sumire had a high assimilation rate with Laplace. It was impossible to explain with words that this was luck. The word fate was just right.
‘The King’s disciple and the Italian princess. He is Laplace’s agent. This is more than I thought... Great big people came in?’
At this point, Roger had no choice but to admit it. Perhaps the leading role of the next generation will be Shin Yoo-seong’s party.
If only considering the potential, Shin Yoo-seong’s party could have been stronger than the legendary hunters.
‘I was thinking of just accepting support, but... I’m sure I’ll be able to teach you a lot.’
In an instant, Roger’s eyes and mindset changed. It seemed that Roger was more interested in Shin Yoo-seong’s party than the guild.
‘Ah...’
Roger realized something at that moment. Yoochan Kang. Why did that serpent-like inspiration send Shin Yoo-seong here? Why did they only apply for level 4 and level 5 personnel so far?
Roger knew Kang Yoo-chan.
There was absolutely no reason for that person to act. If something unusual happened, it was all Kang Yoo-chan’s number fight.
‘Now that inspiration has something it wants from me.’
No, more precisely, Roger would want Shin Yoo-seong to do ‘something’. The first is that Shin Yoo-seong’s party learns the experiences of active soldiers and grows. And the second one...
‘Ah, that’s what I thought... This inspiration is really scary.’
Roger looked at Shin Yoo-seong with a tired face.
“I promise you one thing. You will be a completely different person when you go out as much as this job helps you.”
This was no bluff.
It is the first ‘share’ that Kang Yu-chan should receive by sending Shin Yoo-seong to Roger.
“The Forest of Greenery has the final puzzle called ‘experience’ that you lack.”
“...thank you. Roger.”
Shin Yooseong also smiled at that moment. I was relieved by Roger’s more benevolent attitude than I thought.
Jerk-jeok-
Roja approached Shin Yoo-seong.
Then, he whispered in my ear in a small voice that only Shin Yoo-seong could hear.
“But you... you know I’m a Five Star, right?”
Shin Yuseong turned his head and looked at Roger. Roger’s eyes, with a little playfulness and even madness, fit the word chaos.
“So you were the next president of the Hunter Association that the serpent chose?”
Roger, who correctly pointed out Kang Yoo-chan’s intentions, smiled. She was never a scarecrow.
But even so, Roger said with a playful laugh.
“Please? newcomer.”
