The Return Of The Genius Ranker Of All Times [EN]: Chapter 11

Part 11.

I wasn’t sure which of the three races they were exactly.

‘Archery and dagger skills are symbolic of Elves, but…’

Nymphs weren’t far behind Elves when it came to archery.

The archer and assassins could be from different races.

The only thing I could be sure of was that Akira was unlikely to be a fairy.

‘Fairies are closer to magic than martial arts.’

Some might say.

Why couldn’t they be human?

But that’s what people who don’t know what the World Tree means to the races living in Elannis would say.

To them, the World Tree is not just a tree.

‘Divine Tree.’

A tree they worship as a god.

That was the World Tree.

It has lived for so long that it is called that, and it also holds mysterious powers.

Only the races of Elannis receive the World Tree’s revelations.

Stealing it is also out of the question.

From the start, they didn’t share their hearts with the human race that much, and if they had stolen it, a war would have broken out a long time ago.

Thinking about it, it was difficult to have this arrow,

-Astra’s soul has been dimmed by an unknown force.

You can use it a certain number of times, ignoring the usage restriction.

-Number of uses available: (2 / 4)

‘Submerged in an unknown power…’

Judging from the circumstances, it seems Akira wasn’t handling the arrow legally either.

‘Something smells fishy.’

Do-hyun’s gut feeling, based on high risk, high return, was telling him.

That something big was involved.

That if I carried this arrow around, something would definitely get tangled up.

For a stable gamer’s life, it was right to leave it in the corner of the inventory and not even look at it once.

Do-hyun was sincerely sad about that.

‘I can only use it twice…’

That Akira had already used half of the number of times.

‘Still, two times is good. Two chances for a special move is great.’

What does it matter if something gets tangled up?

I have this cheat item in my hands, so I have to use it first.

It’s a hundred times better to worry about how to use it to make a buzz than to worry about that.

‘It transforms to fit the user. This is also interesting. Does using this option count as using it?’

Do-hyun, who was thinking about trying it out, shook his head.

‘I think my stomach would hurt too much if I used it and the number of uses decreased.’

While he was trying to suppress his curiosity.

-So when will you confirm the reward?

-Did it pop up? Did it pop up?

-Judging by the reaction, it seems like you got something good?

-Ah, I’m really curious.

-Can you just tell me one thing? Just one thing, no more, no less.

“Oh ho! That’s not possible. I, Marty, am not such an unprincipled man.”

-Um! That kind of strong-willed attitude is very good! I don’t know what kind of sweet talk the apostles are using to tempt you, but it’s better to ignore it and proceed according to your opinion.

“Haha, of course.”

-Charlie is so reliable;;;

-Even Suji can’t beat that.

-Real;;;

Charlie, who couldn’t see the viewers’ words, was putting up an excellent iron wall.

He couldn’t be a better example of a guardian, but if he only puts up an iron wall, he can only arouse resentment and suspicion.

Do-hyun, who had slipped next to Marty, opened his mouth.

“I’m fine. Everyone will know anyway. I got some junk items and this dagger.”

As he shook the Ever-changing, which had turned into Kayana’s dagger, the chat immediately came up.

-Oh, he’s telling us this?

-Ah… I thank Kashin for his generosity.

-Is that the dagger the assassin was using?

-He didn’t drop the bow, did he?

-Well, if he dropped that, it would be a balance collapse.

-I guess there were a lot of junk items because he was getting traces rather than rewards.

-Aren’t you hiding something?

-Why would Kaiser bother hiding anything? If he was going to hide it, he wouldn’t have shown it at all.

I was a little pricked by the words that I was hiding something, but fortunately, no one seemed to suspect anything.

In fact, Do-hyun agreed with the words, ‘Why bother hiding it?’

In the past, he hid it because he hadn’t built up his strength yet, but now there was no reason to do so.

‘If it wasn’t related to the World Tree.’

Invading the Empire’s secret dungeon, the identity of the intruder who attacked the apostles is a different race?

It was something that would cause a big ripple, so it was better not to reveal it rashly.

“But is it really okay for me to take everything?”

“Of course. My pride does not allow me to take something without doing anything.”

“Then… I’ll gratefully accept it.”

“Yes!”

Do-hyun, who had received the final confirmation answer, turned away coolly.

As he entered the wall that had been destroyed by the intruders, a message popped up.

[You have entered the Tomb of Information.]

[It has been confirmed that you have passed all the gates.]

[The information you can obtain varies depending on your performance in passing the gates.]

[Checking score.]

“Oh oh… Can you see it, viewers? I thought it would be gloomy because it’s a tomb, but it’s cleaner than I thought.”

Do-hyun nodded at Marty’s words.

The walls, which felt like they had been there for a long time, were still there, but unlike the dark outside, there were luminous stones embedded everywhere, so there was no discomfort in the field of vision.

A circle that glows softly in the middle of the floor.

And a small stone tower in the center of the circle and a golden border surrounding the circle.

Other than that, there were no special objects or features, which gave the impression that it was neat.

Looking at the exterior, it should be called a resting place rather than a tomb.

[Score check is complete.]

[‘Kaiser’’s score is 34,150 points.]

[Put your hand on the stone tower and ask for the information you want.]

‘Okay, then where…’

Do-hyun smiled and entered the circle and reached out his hand.

‘Let’s see how important the information is that a different race invaded for.’

The moment he put his hand on the stone tower.

Paat-

The golden border flashed, and a stream of light poured out from the stone tower and pierced through Do-hyun’s head.

It was a sea of ​​countless information.

A feeling that fills the brain with the certainty that it can answer any information you ask.

‘So this is what it’s like.’

It was only for a moment that I was amazed by the feeling I was experiencing for the first time.

[‘Kaiser’ has 40 seconds.]

[Information will be deleted if time is exceeded.]

‘No, that’s all I get?’

Do-hyun hurriedly thought of a question in a time that would only allow him to hear two or three pieces of information at best.

The good thing is that the question is already set.

The question that came to mind first from the moment I heard that I could get information.

‘Tell me about the Day of Prophecy.’

A word that has been heard often since the main quest, and even in the recent battle with Garion.

Only mentioned, but no one has been able to tell me clearly.

Could the Tomb of Information solve this question?

[…Information about the Day of Prophecy is forbidden.]

[Ask for other information.]

It was a question with such expectations, but unfortunately, I couldn’t hear about the Day of Prophecy this time either.

‘Tsk.’

I wonder what the Day of Prophecy is that it’s so tightly hidden, but I expected it to some extent.

It’s a main quest.

I thought that I wouldn’t be able to find out so easily because it seemed to be a very important content.

[Remaining time is 30 seconds.]

‘Tell me about the Five Kings of Ancient Humanity.’

It was a pity, but Do-hyun was trying to continue with the next question as time was gold, but only a similar answer came back this time.

[…Information related to the main quest is forbidden. Among them, information about the Five Kings is classified as top secret.]

[Penalties may occur if you ask about forbidden information one more time.]

[Ask for other information.]

‘No, this doesn’t work either? There’s nothing that works because it’s the Tomb of Information.’

It’s not even just that it doesn’t work, but it even sends a warning that it’s top secret.

‘Are the Five Kings that important?’

Even when I asked about the Day of Prophecy, I didn’t get that kind of message.

This was a bit unexpected.

‘Is the weight contained in the name of the Five Kings bigger than I thought?’

Considering that Gamillion, a descendant of the family that had served Kashiyar since ancient times, didn’t know much about them, it’s credible.

Even though Gamillion launched a separate investigation, he couldn’t get proper information about them.

‘This makes me even more curious.’

It was more curious than before I asked the stone tower, but Do-hyun tried to shake off his curiosity.

The information about them would be best known by themselves.

If I find the next piece and face the will of the king, I’ll be able to get something.

It’s not too late to solve this question then.

‘Then what should I ask?’

I’m trying to figure it out, but all I can think of is things related to the main quest.

I didn’t want to take a risk because I had already received a warning that I would be penalized if I asked about forbidden things one more time.

[Remaining time is 15 seconds.]

‘Ah, I don’t know.’

To make matters worse, Do-hyun bit his lip at the time when only 15 seconds were left and shouted.

‘Tell me the information I need right now.’

It doesn’t matter what I do anyway.

I decided that there was nothing better than automatic search in this case.

And that judgment was accurate.

[…Question has been confirmed.]

[The required qualifications have been met.]

[Retrieving information with content commensurate with 34,150 points.]

Unlike the messages that had been sending warnings all along, the first pass message popped up.

At the same time, the scene turned dark and then flashed and unfolded.

There was more than one scene.

‘This is…’

Like a fleeting panorama, the scenes were all different.

A scene of a large army of handsome men and women with pointed ears confronting each other with bows.

A scene where nymphs riding the wind are emitting murderous intent.

A scene with the back of a brilliant blonde woman holding a huge greatsword and looking down from a cliff with her back straight.

A scene where a huge divine tree that looks like the World Tree emits a mysterious light.

‘This is more like… a video than information?’

It feels like I suddenly jumped into the second half of a movie and am watching it.

I’m embarrassed that they’re giving me information like this, and I’m also wondering why these scenes are necessary information for me.

But this is information that the system judges to be worth a whopping 34,150 points.

I don’t know how many points are high, but it must be an enormous score since I’ve captured it with an achievement that is impossible for anyone but Do-hyun.

‘I don’t know what it is, but there must be a reason. Let’s focus.’

The information shown as a sacrifice for such a score could not be useless.

That’s how I was trying to watch the passing scenes, trying not to miss them as much as possible.

Saa-

Suddenly, all the scenes that unfolded like a panorama simultaneously darkened.

A dark darkness where nothing can be seen.

Do-hyun was quickly rolling his eyes to look around the scenes at the sudden change.

Something was wriggling beyond the darkness of one scene, and

‘… … This is?’

Do-hyun’s eyes widened when he saw it.
