Chapter 869 – 869. God’s Atlantis
“Area 6,999 attacked the church in heavy rain.”
“This is a special hidden area. Acquire a special item instead of zone control.”
“The title ‘The Calm Hunter’ will be given.”
「Acquire 1 bonus stat point.」
「Acquire 300,000 AP.」
「Acquire the flute of heavy rain.」
“The Messenger of Prophecy gives you a prophecy.”
“Evil fate will hinder you”
Attack is over.
Lee Min-jung and I were moved outside the church into the woods. I looked up at the sky involuntarily. It’s blue The dark clouds darkening the sky and the thunder and lightning just now felt like a lie. Looking around, the trees are not even wet from the rain, and the ground is crumbly.
In my hand was a monotonous black flute. It’s “The flute of heavy rain”.
“Mr. Eugene!”
Yoo Seo-hee called me and approached me. She also had other people around her. No one was left out.
“There must be other people in the church who survived besides us…” . Are they elsewhere?’
They weren’t dangerous, so I didn’t think there was anything to worry about.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
“Yes. No. When I came out of that area, the bad feelings disappeared.”
“Okay? Then let’s move. Now, if you go a little further, you will arrive at Jedo Island. Even if it’s hard, it’s better to rest in the system.”

Bonus stat points were used immediately. There is a saying that if you save it, it will be shit, and where to use the bonus ability has already been decided. Luck. When I get bonus stats, I raise these stats that are difficult to raise with normal methods.
Then, I attacked the special hidden area and checked the items I got as a reward.
「The flute of heavy rain
Disposable.
Can cause heavy rain.
Heavy rain lasts for three hours.
Rank: S」
It was a climate-changing thing.
It was ambiguous to evaluate what I said. Because these things are all about writing. In an area where it is not raining, it will have an S rank or higher value, but in an area where it does not rain, it is worth a C rank or lower.
Anyway, I took care of the heavy rain flute. No one knows when and where it will be used.
‘It’s a pity that I can’t control the special hidden area.’
As I led my party and walked to the island, I thought of the one remaining reward.
A prophecy fell upon me.
“Evil fate will hinder you”
It was incredibly comprehensive.
Bad luck? In this world, there are overflowing people who have formed a bad relationship with me. And it’s no wonder bad luck gets in the way of me. Anyone who has a bad relationship with me will hate me.
‘Are you saying that bad luck appears at an important moment and interferes with me? Or does it mean that I will not have bad relations with you from now on?’
I wonder if you could tell me in more detail. It only irritated me to speak vaguely like this. Even if you wanted to ignore it, people’s hearts seldom went their way.
•••
“Area 2,255. Welcome to the Justia Islands!”
Arrived at the island.
Even though the 10-year festival had not yet been officially declared, the system was abuzz with the fervor of the festival. The number of tourists was enormous. If you look here, you can see people there.
The party constantly exclaimed exclamation while watching the system. A country boy who has risen from the countryside to the big city. It was just like that.
“Don’t get swept away by the crowd and follow me properly.”
Saying so, I took the lead and walked down the street. The first thing to do was to find a place to stay during the festival. Kang Myung-jin said that it would be okay to find a suitable accommodation, but I cannot accept a cheap accommodation.
‘It’s not like I don’t have money, so there’s no need to stay in a cheap hostel.’
And in the current situation, it is difficult to find cheap accommodation. This is because people who have already visited Jedo have taken up all the tolerable accommodations. It’s hard to find a wagon in a nearby city, but is it different from a lodging?
‘In the worst case, I might not be able to find a place to stay and I might have to sleep outside the island.’
I really want to avoid homelessness.
The place I found was a hotel inside the islands. As with any city, prices get higher the closer you get to the city center. A 5-story high building, walls over 5M high, and strong bodyguards guarding the entrance.
It was a hotel worthy of the word luxury.
“Sorry, guest. Currently, all rooms in our hotel are booked and there are no rooms left.”
The hotel manager politely bowed his head. Judging by his attitude and grace, he must have worked for an aristocratic family.
“I’ll triple the price. Can’t you?”
“Sorry. At our hotel, trust with our guests is of the utmost importance.”
I stepped back. It was an expected reaction. It would be a lot to lose by just looking at the money and canceling the existing reservation. Above all, it is highly likely that a person who uses a hotel of this level is not an ordinary person. Even if he can’t, he must be a Legion of medium or higher rank.
‘If there’s a fight with the middle-ranking Legion, this side will be at a disadvantage.’
A-Plan Legion was not yet a medium-sized legion.
‘Whoa. I’m weak, so I can’t do anything. I liked being the emperor….’
A world of play where my words were the absolute law. I missed that absolute power.
“Do you know of any other luxury hotels? It doesn’t matter what the price is.”
“There are a few better hotels in Jedo Island than ours, but…. You won’t be able to get a room because it’s fully booked. I wonder if you would have come a little earlier. It will be difficult to find an empty room in any hotel at this time.”
The manager is right. But I couldn’t give up. My party and I went to all the luxury hotels. But there were no vacant rooms.
The day began to fade. The islands were colored with the glow of the sunset, but none of us were just enjoying the beautiful scenery.
“Submaster. Wouldn’t it be nice to find a reasonably good accommodation?”
Ji Young-bin asked.
“The situation is the same with moderately good accommodations. And look over there.”
I raised my finger and pointed to one side. I see people trudging down the main street and going out of the gate. Giving up on finding a place to stay, they plan to camp out in a tent outside the castle. The problem is that the number is in the thousands.
“They couldn’t find a place to stay either, so can we find one easily?”
“…… Aren’t we supposed to go out and sleep? Looks like I’ll have to find a homeless job too….”
“Youngbin is right. Hurry up and get a seat. If you’re late, you won’t get a good seat.”
Lil Sne stamped her foot a few times. It seems that he became impatient when he saw many people leaving the system.
“… Ha. I hate homelessness….”
Yoo Seo-hee muttered. She didn’t speak out of her like she did, but nobody wanted homelessness. Especially homelessness with people you don’t know. Just thinking about it will make you feel bad, and many problems will arise.
“I don’t sleep. To come here and be homeless… Are you crazy? Follow. I will show you the ability of a submaster.”
“Mr. Eugene. Are you thinking of buying a house? If you are renting for a short period of time… I think there might be a possibility.”
“It’s not that different from a hotel. The timing is the timing, so aside from overcharging, money is overflowing when it comes to medium-sized legions.”
I led and moved them.
The Justia Islands are planned cities. It is a city that has been planned from the design stage. It is divided into commercial, residential and military districts. Among the living quarters, there is one exclusively reserved for nobles.
‘In order to buy a mansion in this district, it’s not enough with ordinary money and status.’
I hurriedly headed towards the aristocratic district.
I was stopped at the entrance to the Noble Quarter. Surprisingly, the knights, not the soldiers, were directly acting as gatekeepers.
“Please pause. This front is no ordinary area. Are you a noble?”
“I am not aristocrat.”
The knight’s eyes narrowed. Even though I’m not an aristocrat, my tone was arrogant. Because it was a top-down conversation.
“… Are you from the famous Legion? Even if it is a famous legion, you cannot enter this place unless you are a noble. I don’t know if it was promised to a nobleman. If not, please step back.”
The knight put his hand on the hilt of his sword. He meant that if he would not back down, he would use force. Everyone except me was nervous. The pressure felt by the knight was not normal. A knight who works in the drafting. It’s different from the ones I’ve met so far.
“I am this kind of person.”
He handed out a piece of paper to the knight. The knight looked at the paper with narrow eyes and was startled.
“Inspector Appointment Letter?! Bar, were you Waldert’s inspector? I didn’t recognize the inspector. Sorry!”
The knight hurriedly lowered his head.
I wouldn’t know if it was an ordinary inspector. I am an inspector recognized by Duke Baldert. An inspector directly appointed by one of the five pillars of the Empire, Phantasy!
‘It’s good that I have the letter of appointment.’
Although he has unofficially given up his position as inspector, this letter of appointment is genuine. If you explain the situation to Elena later, she will forgive you. How much I’ve suffered for her, I can’t even do this much.
“Can I go inside now? And I want you to tell me where Baldert’s mansion is.”
“That… I’m sorry, but I need accurate identification.”
“What? Even looking at this inspector appointment letter, you say that?”
“It was an order that came directly from the superior…. And to send only one letter of appointment… There are so many crazy people in the world that it could be an impersonation crime. I’m really sorry!”
“…… Tsk. I can’t help it. How will you verify my identity?”
“I will send someone to the Baldert Mansion to contact you. If the butler of the Baldert family vouches for it, the identity verification is over.”
It was efficient. But it was difficult for me. There is no Elena in the islands now. She will appear during the festival.
My plan to stick to Baldert’s villa may go awry.
“For a moment.”
“Yes?”
“If that’s the case, I can guarantee it.”
I took out the conch shell Elena had given me before. Of course, it was no ordinary conch shell.
“Voices in the wind
A pair of conch shells.
No matter how far away you are from the target, you can have a real-time conversation as long as they are under the same sky.
Rank: A」
“Oh, is it a currency tool? You have something handy.”
I nodded at the knight’s question and signaled to the conch shell. After waiting for about 30 seconds, I was connected to the other party.
“What is it, I am busy. If it’s trivial, say it later.”
I heard Elena’s sullen voice.
“Your Excellency, Duke Baldert! I am Seong Yu-jin, the duke’s loyal inspector!”
I cried out.
“…… What?”
I explained the situation. Elena’s sighs came through the conch shell.
“… Knight there. Listen, this man is my appointed inspector, and he is a vassal of House Baldert. Due to a slight mistake, I was unable to inform the villa’s butler. I will vouch for his identity, so let him in.”
The knight was perplexed. His eyes sway like a boat against the rough waves. Cold sweat ran down his forehead.
“Huh, but, Your Excellency….”
The knight couldn’t continue his words. Your voice alone cannot confirm that you are indeed Elena Waldert. I didn’t dare to say that.
“You do a good job. I do not hate hardworking knights like you. Wait there for a while I’ll send a message to the villa’s butler.”
“Yes, yes. Thank you Your Excellency Duke Baldert!”
The knight bowed deeply toward the conch shell. The conch shell’s connection had already been severed. It was a funny sight.
And after a while, an old butler appeared from inside the noble district. He politely bowed his head towards us.
“This is the butler, Sergio. I heard the story from the family head and came to see the guests.”
“Ask for guidance.”
My party and I followed the butler into the noble district. I then patted the knight on the shoulder.
