The Return Of The Genius Ranker Of All Times [EN]: Chapter 140

140.

Gamilion said that the lord of Sargis would be keeping a fragment of fate.

But I never imagined it would be that.

‘No, how can the size of the fragment be like that?’

Its size is on a completely different level from the previous ones!

Even the location was too obvious.

Leaving it unattended near the top of the castle, it just looks like a giant bell.

If I didn’t have the Eye of Truth, would I have even imagined that it was a fragment of fate?

“…Apostle? What’s wrong?”

-Master? Why are you suddenly running out?

-Lord!?

I hear the voices of those who hurriedly followed from behind.

Especially Jay Roodel, who was being supported by the butler, was staring from afar as if something was wrong.

Only then did Dohyun come to his senses and shook his head.

“I’m sorry. I had something to check for a moment.”

“…Are you talking about the Moon Bell?”

“I guess it’s because it’s my first time seeing such a mysterious and huge bell. I was wondering what it would be like to see it up close. I’m sorry for causing concern.”

“Hmm….”

The butler and Jay Roodel looked at him with strange eyes, but soon nodded as if they were convinced.

Dohyun didn’t do strange impulsive actions, and from the apostle’s point of view, it seemed like it could be seen as fascinating.

“…Uncle Jin often said he wanted to peek at the Moon Bell too. It must be fascinating to see it for the first time. Feel free to look around.”

“Thank you.”

Is it thanks to the title of apostle that Jin Roodel trusted and entrusted to him?

After thinking for a moment, Jay Roodel readily gave him time to look at the bell.

Seeing that, I could be even more certain. That no one knows the identity of this bell.

‘…Well, the lord is keeping it without even knowing.’

It was just funny that Gamilion’s words weren’t wrong.

Well, it’s presumed to have been kept in the castle since the distant past, so it’s only natural to know it as just a bell.

‘…Wait, then how do I take that?’

Would they really give me the bell that has been passed down and steadily kept for generations?

Even if I receive it, it’s too big, so how would I carry it?

It was a situation where I was already getting a headache, but the first thing to do was to get the energy of Yin.

[The Eye of Truth is activated.]

‘Why is this so late?’

More than that, the phrase flickering in front of my eyes was more concerning.

Thanks to the notification that always popped up quickly this time being late, I only now realized that the bell I had seen since I first entered the castle was actually a fragment of fate.

It was an absurd thing, but I had an idea.

‘The red light is much clearer.’

When I saw it from outside the castle, it didn’t even emit a subtle light.

To be exact, it was emitting such a subtle red light that it just looked like a red bell.

But now that I see it in front of me, it was emitting such a clear red light that I couldn’t mistake it.

I couldn’t even grasp where the blue color was.

‘So the Eye of Truth also has a range.’

If you think about it, the Eye of Truth is also a search skill.

I’ve been using it well without any problems so far, so it’s only natural that there is a usage range.

That means…….

‘I’ll also receive the effect of increasing the search range.’

Maybe the reason I was able to see it even as a red bell was thanks to the search range increase option of titles like a competent explorer.

Thanks to that, I learned something new about the Eye of Truth.

‘There might be something more.’

As a unique trait, there must be something Dohyun doesn’t know yet.

Well, I’ll find out someday, so it’s not something to worry about now.

Now that I’ve found the fragment of fate and the enemy has been identified, there was only one thing Dohyun had to do.

And if I have to do it anyway…….

“Lord.”

“Yes.”

“Are you having trouble because of those ghost soldiers?”

“…….”

The lord, who was taken aback by Dohyun’s sudden question, smiled bitterly.

“It’s embarrassing, but… yes. That’s right. I’m in trouble. I want to kill them right away if I could.”

“…….”

“But it’s impossible. Because there is no one who wants to fight anymore.”

It wasn’t that there were no forces at all.

Numerous soldiers had died to them, but Sargis wasn’t so weak that it would lose all its forces to that extent.

“A fight where death is certain. Who would want to do it? Even the immortal apostles are avoiding it… I don’t have the right to drive them to their deaths in a battle they can’t win.”

It’s just that no one wants to fight anymore.

Because the moment they fight the outlaws, they are sure to become living corpses or half-crippled and live on.

If you don’t provoke them, they won’t attack.

Since it’s a fight you can’t win anyway, who would want to sacrifice their life if they don’t provoke them?

“They no longer have that obligation. Because even the lord is hiding like a coward.”

“Lord…….”

“When I die, please become the lord, Butler. There’s no one else I can trust.”

“Don’t say that. I am a butler. In the past, now, and in the future, that will not change.”

“I know my body. I don’t have much time left.”

There was no fear or desperation in the lord who spoke calmly in the face of death.

He just looked bitter.

That he can’t stand before the people as a lord.

That all he can do is hope that they won’t start a war as they are, let alone punish the enemy.

“If I have any regrets, that’s too much of a regret.”

That was just too much of a regret.

It was then that Dohyun, who had been listening quietly, opened his mouth.

“What if there is a way?”

“……Yes?”

“I think I have a way to fight those guys.”

“……That doesn’t make sense. The cold air they emit freezes to the bone the moment it touches you, and burns all your nerves! Can’t you see what I look like now!? No matter how immortal an apostle is, I can’t drive the person who told Jin Uncle’s news to his death.”

Jay Roodel screamed in horror at Dohyun’s confident words.

But Dohyun didn’t care. Instead, he asked back with a cold face.

“That Jin Roodel is buying time right now. But it’s already been three years. Is it okay for him to be doing that even after death?”

“…….”

“He’s at his limit now. When that time comes, those guys will attack. Ah, if he gets caught before that, I think his soul will be torn apart.”

Nothing was wrong.

When Jin Roodel was mentioned, Jay Roodel gritted his teeth as if he was upset.

Gritting.

“Then… then what should I do?”

“I will step forward.”

“……I don’t understand. I don’t know how you’re going to overcome that cold air, but even if that’s possible, I don’t know why you’re taking the risk.”

“The world doesn’t always work calculatively. I’m just doing what I have to do.”

“What is that…….”

Jay Roodel, who was blankly opening his mouth, made eye contact with Dohyun.

There was no hesitation in Dohyun’s eyes as he looked straight at him.

Is that why?

Jay Roodel, who had been hesitating, closed his eyes tightly and said, suppressing his emotions.

“……I am a very shameless person. I thought I had let go of everything, but when a glimmer of hope arises, I want to hold on to it without knowing shame.”

“…….”

“Dare… dare I ask you?”

Ding-.

[Special conditions have been met.]

[Linked quest ‘Savior of Roodel’ is created.]

[Savior of Roodel]

-Grade: Hero+

-Description: Outlaws who appeared one day.

Everyone who confronted them became seriously ill or died miserably.

Now no one wants to fight them. It is difficult to ask for support because the lord’s condition cannot be revealed.

You are the only hope.

Drive out the outlaws who are trying to capture Sargis Castle and become the savior of Sargis and Roodel.

If you do so, Roodel will never forget your grace for the rest of his life.

-Quest success: High-level skill 뽑기권 [Gacha Ticket], absolute support and favorability of the Roodel family, Roodel’s belief.

-Quest failure: A massacre may occur in Sargis Castle.

Dohyun clenched his fist at the quest that appeared at the end of Jay Roodel’s words.

‘Okay.’

God of the Other World’s linked quests were not always automatically generated.

As it is an artificial intelligence that is so good that it is difficult to distinguish from real people, quests can be created or disappear depending on the NPC’s 마음 [mind/heart].

And Jay Roodel was in a state of giving up.

To get the quest, it was necessary to change his mind.

‘If I have to catch them anyway, it’s better to get the quest reward.’

Get the energy of Yin, get the fragment of fate, and get the quest reward.

And become a savior at the same time.

They are happy to get rid of the troublemakers, and I am happy to get a lot of rewards, so isn’t it a win-win situation?

‘…Master, you’re too 계산적이야 [calculating]. When did you say the world doesn’t work calculatively?’

‘Uh-huh. This isn’t 계산적인 [calculating], it’s wise.’

‘This lowly sword. Even if you say that, I know you actually wanted to help that person, Lord.’

‘Liza!’

‘Charlie, I always feel this way, but is there a flower garden in your 머가리에 [head]… no, does the world look beautiful?’

Leaving the sounds of the guys 떠드는 [chattering] behind, Dohyun replied briefly.

“Of course. It’s my job.”

“……Please, Apostle.”

With that answer, Dohyun came out of the castle.

“It’s Kaiser! Kaiser is out!”

“헉 [Gasp]! Everyone 집 [go home]…….”

“쉿쉿 [Shhh shhh]!! Lower your voice. Haven’t you seen the community? They say if you mess with him wrong, you’ll get 갈려 [ground up] and not even be able to use 쪽 [a side/direction].”

Then the users’ gazes that were 웅성거리는 [buzzing] were fixed on Dohyun.

The number hadn’t decreased at all, as if they had been waiting since the moment Dohyun entered the castle.

‘Why does it seem like it’s increased?’

It seems like users who heard the news gathered.

Well, it’s the first time in a year and a half that a user has entered the castle, so how could they not be interested?

Moreover, it’s Kaiser, who’s been the hottest lately, so they must be curious to death.

‘Kireuk kireuk.’

‘It seems like everyone is 동경하는 [admiring] the Lord. …Some impure eyes full of 시기 질투 [envy and jealousy] are 심히 거슬립니다만 [extremely bothersome]… If you give the order, this lowly sword will take care of it.’

‘Lizariza!’

As Charlie said, there were those who were sending impure eyes, but most of them were just people who were curious about Dohyun’s 행보 [actions/whereabouts].

Pure 팬심 [fan heart], 호기심 [curiosity], 기대감 [expectations], etc.

Various reactions were 꽂히고 [focused] on Dohyun’s 위로 [above/on him].

“……What is it? What quest did he get?”

“If it’s a castle of that size, it must have been huge, right? What’s inside? Rumor has it that there are countless gold, silver treasures, and treasures.”

“No, actually the lord is a dragon. They say it’s a dragon lair, so people can’t come in?”

“Whatever it is, it’ll be amazing since it’s the first time, right? I’m so excited.”

“I hope he uploads a NewTube video this time too…….”

The 웅성거림 [buzz] grew and their curiosity reached its peak.

Dohyun, who had been still without moving, finally moved. Dohyun, who quietly raised his hand, slowly stretched it out into the air, and

“……Huh?”

“엥 [Eh]?”

Soon disappeared.

Kaiser, as well as those who were following behind, had all disappeared without a trace.

They, who were 끔뻑이던 [blinking] in a situation they had never expected, realized.

“……Could it be that he logged out again?”

“밀당천재 [Master of push and pull] King God Kaiser.”
