Lee Hyun's house!
Lee Hyun sat down casually in front of the TV that was airing the news about Royal Road. His face looked flat not enjoying the event at all.
"Yes. The next segment of our program is about famous players in Cawang Kingdom who are talked about by players lately. Mr. Oh, I hear now there's a Blacksmith who can strengthen the defense equipment?"
"Yes, that's right. It is undeniable that a fighter must always need good equipment. Because when wearing equipment with high defense will increase the possibility of survival. And Blacksmith from Cawang can increase defense equipment by melting mineral reinforcement."
There were many television programs related to Royal Road, discussing the many wonders and legends of the Versailles Continent. It also benefits the rate. As the audience increased along with the influx of players into Royal Road, leading to huge advertising revenue.
"Hmm, a Blacksmith?" Lee Hyun aligned his feet on the bed. No doubt, the room is the most comfortable place to rest. His eyes were unceasingly staring at the endless TV show.
At the event, a female host and male host were having a light chat about surrounding the fantasy world of Royal Road. Lee Hyun was hoping to hear useful new information about the game. He believes most of the viewers who watched the show had the same goal as him.
On the Versailles Continent there was no difference between day and night, every moment was a hunting clock. But as the programs related to Royal Road aired, the hunting grounds became a little quiet. Everyone moves to the real world just to get some pretty useful info.
"That's amazing. Looks like I should also ask him to strengthen my equipment. But isn't the cost very high?"
"Prices vary from 10 to 100 gold depending on the effect or function. Isn't that amazing?"
"100 gold? I can't afford it. In fact, after collecting all the money I've collected all this time." Shin Hye Min shook her head several times, looking helpless.
"Haha, but that price is only for very, very good items. So, he'll probably strengthen your item for about 10 gold."
"That Blacksmith player is going to get very rich quick."
"Not entirely true. The price of the materials needed to strengthen the equipment was extremely expensive, so he would not be able to profit more than 20% on a single order. The reason for Blacksmith from Cawang Kingdom being a hot topic, was probably because he became the first player to reach the intermediate stage within Blacksmith."
Shin Hye Min let out a long sigh, "That achievement makes me envious. Speaking of the crafting profession, lately there has also been a hot topic about a skilled Sculptor who appeared in the Rosenheim Kingdom, right?"
"really. He said the statues he carved were very beautiful. This is very surprising, considering the Sculptor profession is very rare. Because this profession requires patience and perseverance that not everyone is able to live it."
The Sculptor from Rosenheim Kingdom they were talking about was, of course, Lee Hyun's avatar of the game, Weed.
"After I heard the rumors, I rushed to visit Rosenheim Kingdom to interview him. Then buy a statue as a covenant for you, Hye Min. But I was late, he was gone."
"It's a shame."
"Hm. I'm worried that if he erases his avatar because he can no longer afford to go through the path of a Scluptor who is notoriously difficult and tiring."
"Wow, that's bad news. I lost the chance to receive a good gift. I think the artists are starting to show off. Too bad."
"The next story is about something you've been waiting for." He deliberately paused a few seconds to the enthusiastic audience's craze, "Civil war Britten Alliance! Finally, the famous Tambun Castle was not conquered successfully attacked! The Nambo Guild is now in very, very, very big trouble."
There is a video clip in the game Royal Road. From a height, there is a luxurious apricot-colored castle, surrounded by 35 towers, where Archers and Mages lived during the war. The walls of the fort look very thick because it was built with 3 layers of brick. The kingdom was also surrounded by a wide moat equipped with a bridge. A place that looks sturdy and impenetrable.
"Wow, that's amazing. It was as if I was looking at a castle in the middle ages."
"This is the Tambun Castle owned by the Nambo guild. A fierce battle took place in this amazing place last night."
Tambun Castle was indeed famous for having a bad reputation even before it was flooded with the blood of countless players. How not, the ruler of that magnificent place made an unreasonable policy regarding taxes and entrance fees at exorbitant prices. Even the surrounding villages have to pay a 60% tax on every sale and purchase transaction, 2 times higher in other cities. This was true for all items including herbs, potions and other medicines.
Merchants traveling through the fort were forced to pay 40% of sales profits, under the pretext of customs taxes. Tambun Castle makes use of its strategic location in the middle of the Britten Alliance and the Buaran Kingdom to monopolize international trade.
In the end all the money was scooped up by the Nambo guild, the owner of the Tambun castle. It was obvious that they would be hated by everyone. The anger of the players was already out of bounds to cause this chaos.
"Previous Tambun Castle has never been taken over, right?"
"really. But this fight is amazing. Look." Look."
The TV showed a view of Tambun Castle at night in the background of a crescent moon hanging in the sky. Around the castle was filled with players who were clustered like ants, along with enlivening the scenery. The flags of each guild fluttered beautifully following the wind trail. They were waiting for the morning sun.
Lee Hyun's eyes were rounded, he immediately sat up straight to stare at the TV screen in detail, "How many people gathered there?"
He was aware of the news of the drastic increase in players playing in Royal Road some time ago. But he didn't expect it to be this much. So many that can not be estimated how many they. They look like swarms of ants ready to eliminate a donut.
"The number of players gathered to conquer Tambun Castle is more than 30,000." The male MC, Oh Joo Wan, seemed to be able to read the minds of the viewers.
"30 grand? That was the highest number of players participating in a battle so far!"
"Absolutely. The desire to conquer Tambun Castle has spread widely. About 150 guilds united, plus about 5 thousand Mercenaries who participated in the war this time. We're gonna watch it happen now."
Finally, the sunrise illuminates the twilight-colored Tambun Castle. Some guild leaders gave long speeches about those on the side of the truth. And how they will revolutionize the atrocities in Tambun Castle after successfully conquering it.
The fire of struggle raged, the fighters cried out in spirit, the fight began.
The view looks amazing to watch.
300 thousand players raided the Tambun castle simultaneously. Arrows flew towards the same place, Tambun Castle. Followed by various kinds of magic that hit the peace of the fortress. Endless catapults threw stones. The golems kept coming to attack the fort's defense. However, their opponents continued to defend, relying on the sturdiness of the fortress.
The Nambo Guild would certainly not sit idly by and watch the collapse of the house they had been guarding well. Before the war they had called their alliance to help the war. There was also an NPC infantry from Tambun Castle, helping to strengthen the fort's defenses.
The tide of the war had changed as the special forces slipped from the path of the rats to enter the fortress.
Actually the big guilds and high-leveled players were just a diversion. They were stalling until the Special Forces managed to infiltrate the fort through the waterway.
Booms!
Huge sword aura and magic exploded everywhere.
"It is known, approximately half of the 100 best players in the Britten Alliance have participated in the war this time. It was certain that Tambun Castle would not be able to last much longer, and it ended up falling into the hands of the assailants."
The Nambo guild members who fought to the end were all killed. Their allied guilds gave up when the situation no longer benefited them. Finally the fierce battle ended. There were sightings of the attacking guilds rejoicing in the overwhelming joy of this victory.
"Mrs. Oh, will now peace have come to Tambun Castle?"
"I don't think yet. Firstly, the Nambo Guild was the legitimate owner of that fortress, most likely not going to retreat just like that. They will gather great strength to reclaim their property."
"So another war will happen again."
"Yes, however, although the recapture by the Nambo Guild ended in failure. Tambun Castle does not seem to be quiet for a while. It's about the profit sharing among the winning guilds won't be finished easily. Given the huge profits that Katik Tambun has accumulated so far, it does not rule out the possibility that everyone will be greedy to compete to have it. That is the value that the land has. Nambo has invested a lot of money to stabilize the economy there. In exchange, they had also collected a lot of taxes for the army and the fortress. That's why a lot of people would want the place."
"It's a bad cycle."
"Not again, very bad. Not to mention the strategic location of Tambun Castle, which stands in the middle of two kingdoms. It serves as a place of exchange of information. This place will continue to be in chaos."
Lee Hyun grinned, a sneer that could make even the most vile criminals envious. 'The attackers were 30 thousand. At least 15 thousand people have been killed shortly after the fight began. Plus 10 thousand more people who can not survive until the war ends.'
Of course imagining the skills and levels lost from the players who died was a joyous thing for Lee Hyun. As the stat of others decreased, Lee Hyun had already moved much stronger.
Suddenly the phone rang, and he hurried to answer. "Hello"
oppa is ready?
The person across the phone, who immediately asked without greeting first was his younger brother, Lee Hye Yoon.
Lee Hyun stared at his shirt a few times to make sure there was nothing wrong with his costume, "Yes. I've changed my clothes and washed my face."
- Hair?
"Of course I've been shampooing." Reflex Lee Hyun held onto the hair then tidied it up a bit.
- The show is about to start. Come quickly!
'What am I really doing?'
Although she did not want to set foot in school again after she got out of there, she had no choice. Lee Hyun still went there while sighing a few times. His breathing grew longer as he gazed at the majestic gate that protected the place of education.
Uaena High School!
Seeing the writing of the piece, Lee Hyun recalled the dark story in the past. He once swore to himself that he would never set foot again in this place for whatever reason.
But this morning, his legs ended up taking him to this cursed place. Lee Hyun worried between following his ego or dealing with his only sister. Whether there was a wind from where, he suddenly recalled the wearing-out incident that had happened to Darius when it was invaded by the girls on his team.
This morning Lee Jajan whined a few times at Lee Hyun, "Oppa, just have to come!"
Lee Hyun did not deny that a second threat had come a little deadly. His little sister planned to confiscate her capsule for a few days if Lee Hyun did not comply with her absolute desire on this one. 'He was not aware, for whom I was desperately looking for money.'
Lee Hyun ended up entering this place full of terrible memories, "Tsk! I didn't think taking care of a little sister would get this shot."
The event Lee Hyun attended this time was a High School festival. Other people invited their parents, but Lee Hayan could only rely on his older brother.
"Ughs. What I'm actually doing." Lee Hyun complained nonstop.
Although he really did not sincerely come to this place, but thinking about his sister's disappointment, he did not want it to happen. He felt as if a cow had been dragged away by a butcher.
When he arrived, Lee Hyun was originally seated on one of the seats in the festival stands. While the students are divided according to the club followed or class, they offer a variety of merchandise in front of Stan. But, Lee Hyun assumed they were all passing wind.
"Hey, are you Lee Hyun?"
Lee Hyun turned to the source of the voice. Looked a beautiful student who was slim, she wore a purple skirt that sweetened her look.
Lee Hyun looked disinterested, staring at her flatly, "Who are you?"
The girl's face looked heavily disappointed after hearing Lee Hyun's reply. "Ah, I was right. It's me, Yoon Ah."
"Oh Lim Yoon Ah." Lee Hyun finally remembered the girl. Her beautiful face made her a favorite of many men during High School. 'She looks more fashionable. And its smart-looking appearance probably retains its popularity until now. He must have been well treated on campus.'
Only about this could Lee Hyun remember about him, there were no more special memories left.
"Yes, long time no see."
Actually Lee Hyun was not comfortable chatting with her, but it would be very disrespectful if he ignored the people who had been in school with him, however they had been classmates, in the past.
"So, why are you here when you graduated from this school?"
"Mhm. My sister went to school here so I came. You alone?"
"Either."
"You also have a sister as it turns out. Can I sit next to you?"
"For what permission, the seat was empty. Do whatever you want." Lee Hyun replied beginning to be uncomfortable with everyone's gaze on him. He turned his gaze towards the festival to watch the show that was starting.
Lim Yoon Ah was sensitive to the situation, not forcing herself to invite Lee Hyun to chat further. Come enjoy the show.
The stage of the drama is titled Snow White and the 7 Dwarves.
An apple vendor appeared, he danced while singing like a fool, then spoke proudly. "Oh! The most beautiful queen on earth. Here are some delicious apples. Just picked from the apple orchard so it's cheap and fresh! Only 2 thousand won per 5 apples!"
The thin-bodied queen yawned widely before replying, "Why is it so expensive?!"
"Because this is an apple carefully selected considering its natural maturity, my Queen!"
"really? Uh! Can we use this to kill Snow White?"
"Uhhhh! I'm sure I never said anything like that."
"I ASK! THAT APPLE CAN BE USED TO KILL OR NOT?!" His ngebass voice roared rocking the stage. Get viewers swept up in her perfect acting.
"When someone has tasted it, he will not turn away from its delicacy, my Queen!" The man replied with a trembling hand.
The queen smiled in satisfaction while grinning. He bought some apples. Then walked towards Snow White who had just entered the hall. He performed some strange dances before handing the apple to the hands of his lifelong rival.
"Why don't you ever come to a reunion?" Lim Yoon Ah ventured to ask again when the situation around them had calmed down.
Lee Hyun replied lazily without looking at the other person, "I'm lazy to leave."
"Oh that? We hope to at least meet you there. Because after school, we couldn't reach you at all. Only the Sanghoon can call you. He always said he was taking you away. So we thought you'd come once."
"Thank you, the lie is so comforting." Lee Hyun continued to watch the art scene with a cold expression. If he was in the game, maybe he had already spread the fighting spirit in the room.
"Um but I really want to see you again. Do you remember the moment you saved me before?"
"I saved you once?" Lee Hyun paused for a moment to seek enlightenment, "Ah, right."
When Lee Hyun was in 10th grade, he delivered newspapers in the morning. One day he sees a girl being caught by some thugs in the park. Lee Hyun had originally intended to pass by just like that because it was none of his business, so he decided to ignore it. But hearing the little girl's terrified scream, Lee Hyun ran back.
He beat up the thugs and saved the little girl. Then, he realized that the girl was Lim Yoon Ah who attended the same school as him. He didn't know about it, because he wasn't in the same class, but they ended up in the 11th.
As they reminisce about their dark past, the musical has headed for a conflict far removed from the original legend.
There were caterpillars on apples sold to the queen, so Snow White beat up the apple vendor mercilessly. As he launched a disciplinary action, the servant forcefully bribed the rotten apple into Snow White's mouth, finally the madness stopped after she collapsed to the ground.
The Dwarves who happened to pass by, kidnapped Snow White to their house, to be a servant who takes care of everything about the needs of the house, such as cooking, cleaning the house, washing and others.
Snow White who had just regained consciousness in a rickety hut of course felt shocked and confused. Especially after hearing the dwarves' explanation. He who lives comfortably in the arms of a golden spoon certainly does not understand how to be a servant.
When he was told to clean the dishes, he broke everything. And when they told him to clean the house, he ruined the decor of the house, destroyed the furniture and many other crazy things.
Finally, came the day that a white-robed prince came to take the princess, the seven dwarves shouting in excitement. They were of course very happy to have managed to get rid of that useless maid.
The musical drama was very strident and astounding, considering how crazy the storyline and all the characters in the drama were.
"that's disappointing." Lee Hyun thought that he had wasted his time.
But in contrast to the Five Yoon Ah who were sitting next to him was laughing endlessly. "Haha! Look at that, Hyun-ah. Really funny."
"..." - ".Lee Hyun did not understand why he called out to her in such a friendly manner, when they very rarely met.
