Chapter 766 – 766. Yggdrasil (6)
“Your name is Chunshik from now on.”
At my whisper, Guildon’s face turned white like a Japanese Kabuki actor.
“Ooh, don’t be funny! Invalid! This is invalid!!”
If her skin had been like white jade before, now it seemed as if she had just coated it with white powder.
Well, a face that looks like it’s covered in white powder is handsome, but…
But even such a handsome face did not impress me much.
The reason for the lack of inspiration was simple.
‘Wow… Midsummer was so fucking handsome. Seeing a face like this makes me feel just like that…’
It was thanks to seeing the face of midsummer.
Even though the face of the current midsummer is somewhat damaged, compared to these elves, it is not enough to use the expression that it is heavenly appearance.
Still, the fact that the elves were outstanding could be felt from the words of the VIP customers around them.
“Oh… Owning five elves like that…”
“Should I ask to borrow it for a day… ?”
In particular, the female VIP customers were paying close attention and keeping their eyes on the elves.
The other elves came to their senses when they saw the VIP customers watching as if they were at a zoo, and begged me.
“Ooh, let us go! It has nothing to do with us!”
“That’s right! We were just following the orders of the Guard Captain!”
“If only I could release… !”
At the urgent cries of his men, Guild On shouted in anger.
“These bastards!!”
After that, Guild On and his men confronted each other and started fighting.
“You dare to put all the blame on me!?”
“Don’t pass it on! Isn’t this what Guildon brought us here for?”
“You’re right! Guild On is solely responsible for all of this!”
“You, I won’t leave you alone when you all go back to your home country!”
Everyone was busy fighting and avoiding responsibility.
I enjoyed watching the elves fight each other and confirmed the harvest from this victory.
‘Swords and armor are slightly different.’
The swords and armor his subordinate elves had were of a slightly lower grade than the weapons used by Guild On.
However, like Guild-On’s, it was an armament produced in Arvos’ palace, and it was a level of weapons and armor that could not be bought with money based on the 3rd floor.
‘And the stolen points totaled 1.6 billion…’
This brings my total wealth to a total of 2.28 billion points.
It was a number of points that made even me dizzy after getting used to points in billions.
Even I, who was not very interested in gambling thanks to my hand skills, was such a figure that I could easily develop a gambling addiction.
‘Let’s be patient, let’s be patient.’
Midsummer is earning a lot anyway, so there is no need for me to step out.
If midsummer can no longer earn points at the VIP casino, then I will step in, but not now.
After confirming all the items stolen by the elves, I ordered the elves to fight.
“Hey, everyone shut up for now.”
“Huh!”
At my command, the elves’ mouths were tightly closed as if they had been zipped.
After making the elves quiet like that, I greeted Ludwig separately.
“I will just go. Thanks for your help today.”
Hee hee! Any help? Rather, it is embarrassing to see such a funny scene for free!”
After seeing Ludwig’s refreshing smile, I dragged the elves to their quarters.
The lodging they are now staying on was a floor made up of luxury rooms provided by the hotel.
Stella was living in the middle room, empty rooms on either side, and the guards were staying on the other side of the empty room.
I asked as I headed towards Guildon’s room.
“Hey, do you really need to leave that room empty? It’s a safe zone anyway, so the sound insulation is perfect, right?”
“That, that’s just because Her Highness wants peace of mind and body.”
“Her… That’s right…”
It was so meaningless and fussy that it was absurd.
‘I have to do even the picky things…’
First of all, I decided to deal with Stella later.
I took everyone into the guildon’s room.
Then, sitting on a chair in the room, he commanded Guild-on.
“Come on, Chunshik. Stand in a row, starting with you.”
“My, my name is such a name…”
“It’s okay. From now on, you are Chunshik. On the third floor.”
“Aww!”
Even though Guild On put on a look of resentment, in the end, he couldn’t resist any longer.
As the elves stood next to the guild one after another, their faces and voices of displeasure continued to flow.
“My, why am I being treated like this…”
“To humans…”
“It is a disgrace…”
So I set up the guildons and elves and sat arrogantly and opened my mouth.
“Let’s start by asking the important things first.”
“Main… Much?”
“Why are you guys here?”
“That, that…”
Guild-on was taken aback, but the rest of the elves just looked at each other with bewildered expressions.
I was sure of this.
The reason I came here was that only Guild On knew about it…
‘But… If you’re the captain of the guard, you can’t know if you don’t know.’
And despite knowing everything at the level of the Guardsmen…
As I stared at Guild On, Guild On shook his head and said as if pleading with me.
“Yes, it is not as important as you think. I don’t know, but the big problem is…”
“I will judge that. Tell me quickly.”
“Ouch… Ha, but…”
Guild On began to notice his subordinates.
If he had to speak because of an order, it seemed that he did not want it to go into the ears of his subordinates at least.
“Good. Hey, you all go into your room and cover your ears.”
“This… Such humiliation…”
The elves went into the guest room with their faces reddened at my words.
Now, only me and Guild On are left in this living room.
“Now, tell me. What are you visiting for?”
“Ouch… Ooh, the reason we visited… It is because of Arvos’ dominance problem.”
“… Dominion?”
A completely incomprehensible word came out.
Guild-on looked teary-eyed and begged me earnestly.
“Well, really, this has nothing to do with you! My, please. Rescind this order!”
“Yeah, I hate it. First, explain the matter of dominance.”
“Aww!”
Guildon continued to talk, crying at my savage order.
“Dominance is… We are talking about the dominance of the 5th floor.”
In the 5th floor where the kingdom of Arvos exists, there is something called dominance.
Those who had a lot of control power would be able to claim ownership of everything that existed in that much kingdom.
Materials produced in the kingdom, soldiers, and even the ownership of ordinary elves…
Can’t even rebel.
Guild On said that beings born on the 5th floor could not escape the influence of dominance by birth.
The governance of the 5th floor is… It was not the level of royal authority, but a divine authority.
Divine authority.
Guild-on began to talk about the main topic while crying.
“Currently, the kingdom of Arvos dominates the entire 5th floor. But… Even so, the royal family only owns 40% of the 5th floor.”
The royal family owns 40%, and a noble family in Arbos owns 30%… And the other 30%…
“Wedlock has it.”
“Ohh… Then why did you come here…”
“Ouch…”
Guild On bit his tongue, but couldn’t stop his words.
“Dear Weatherlock… To get 30% control back.”
The reason I kept coming back from a long time ago was for that reason…
However, one curious fact came to mind here.
“Hey, why does dominance exist?”
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand why the concept of dominance existed.
At least as far as the 3rd floor, the concept of such dominance does not exist.
Guild On, who seemed to have swallowed a heavy piece of metal, changed his expression to a much more comfortable expression and opened his mouth.
“Arvos Kingdom… The entire area of the 5th floor belonged to the Arbos royal family a long time ago.”
“What? Then why is it only 40% now?”
“A long time ago… After Ragnarok, the war of the gods, the royal family of Arbos lost ownership of the 5th floor.”
“Why? During Ragnarok, who did you lose to?”
“No, according to what is recorded in the history books, Arbos stood on the side of the victorious god.”
“Eh? Then why did you lose control?”
I couldn’t quite understand.
I won, but I wondered if there could be a case of losing control.
However, I was able to understand at once with Guild On’s words.
“Victory… No, participating in the war called Ragnarok caused Yggdrasil’s anger.”
“Ah…”
The beings of the channel now… The so-called gods bought Yggdrasil’s wrath during Ragnarok and became trapped in the channel.
In other words, because the Arbos royal family also participated in Ragnarok, Yggdrasil’s anger was lost and his dominance was lost.
Once the situation was understandable.
“So you’re here to ask Wedlock for dominion?”
“That… Okay. Don’t tell this story anywhere else!”
“What… I don’t want to say…”
Hey, I didn’t mean to go around telling stories like this.
But…
“Does the tone make you feel bad?”
Guildon’s resolute words made my mouth itch.
When I frowned, Guild-on responded in amazement.
“Keugh… My, I treat humans like this…”
Perhaps it was because she had looked down on humans all her life, and it seemed that her personality could not be changed in one day.
But… Even Midsummer, who had looked down on other men for 20 years, took several months to change, but an elf who has lived for hundreds of years cannot change in one day.
‘Let’s find out about the schedule.’
Although he has no intention of letting go of Guild On for life, he decided to find out when he originally intended to go back.
“How long were you guys going to stay?”
“This… It is this week.”
“Oh… Then, if the princess sees you, can she go back to the kingdom right away?”
In fact, Stella is the most insecure.
I’m the one who’s really in trouble if she sees these spoiled guards and goes away alone…
But surprisingly, Stella didn’t have to worry.
“Ah, Her Highness too… You cannot go back for a while.”
“Are you the kind of person who can’t move because he’s in a bad mood if he doesn’t even get on a flower carriage?”
“Go, such disrespect to Her Highness!”
“Answer me. Why can’t you go?”
“That… That…”
Guild-on answered while pulling out his thick silver hair.
“Because from today it is the time of darkness.”
“… Dark hour?”
Words I hear for the first time often come up today…
I thought so and asked Guild On properly.
“What is the hour of darkness?”
“The time of darkness is… It means the time when the special warp that exists on the 5th floor is closed.”
In the 5th floor, Arvos Kingdom, unlike the 4th floor, there was a unique warp that could move all floors at once.
However, the period in which the warp can be used is limited to a specific period called the ‘Time of Light’, and there is a disadvantage that it cannot be used when entering the ‘Time of Darkness’.
And Stella came here just at the right time when the ‘time of light’ ended…
“Then, can’t we go up through the 4th floor?”
“Oh, is that absurd! Arvos Kingdom is currently at war with the 4th floor! There’s no way Her Highness could pass through a place like that!”
“Aha!”
Currently, the 4th and 5th floors are at war.
But the 4th floor… There was no way Stella, a member of the royal family on the 5th floor, could pass through that.
My mouth twitched at Guild On’s words.
“There were complicated circumstances.”
At my words, Guild On began begging me for a favor.
“Boo, please! I’ll forget everything that happened today, so make it happen! When I return to my country, I will give you a reward that will make your eyes pop out!”
“…”
On the one hand, admiration came out at the appearance of Guild On.
Seeing her neck and back still upright after having been deprived of everything like this.
Even his eyes were still arrogant.
Ruler… Now it’s your turn to change your arrogant gaze and attitude.
I smiled at Guild On.
“Now, I have to work hard tonight, so I’m replenishing my stamina.”
***
Stella muttered as she watched the sun go down into the forest.
“… Is it evening?”
I felt bad.
It was uncomfortable and unpleasant.
It was because thoughts of the people she had seen during the day filled her head all day.
Even the luxury room she is staying in… The room was making her feel even worse.
“… No matter how much I think about it, it annoys me.”
The expectation of being able to relieve fatigue in the royal class after a long time was shattered, so everything started to be covered with annoyance.
Stella began to think of all the pleasures she had enjoyed in her royal court.
Beautiful sunsets, dazzling golden walls, diamond marble…
Among them, it was the bathroom that lingered in my mind in particular.
A bathtub made of woods with the theme of Yggdrasil’s heart.
“Ha… Hopefully, Guildon will solve it well.”
After Stella muttered to herself like that, she spilled another word with her back to the setting sun.
“Because I don’t want to change the captain of the Guard after only 50 years.”
In the evening, he had made an appointment with Weatherlock for dinner.
“A meal with a goblin… I feel really bad…”
It was an unavoidable choice.
Even if she was a princess of the royal family, a symbol of loftiness, she had to look good to Weatherlock, who had 30% of the Arvos kingdom’s control.
“Today, please, hope things go well.”
Saying that, Stella opened the door to the room.
Originally, it was her guard who had to greet her, but…
But when she opened the door, she noticed that whoever entered her green eyes…
“Kyaaaaa, kill the face… No, you finally came out. I am Seong Soo-ho, the princess’ acting escort today. I will guide you to the Weatherlock family.”
“…”
The culprit who made him feel bad… He was a human man
