Chapter 22 – #08. Hidden Peace (1).

#08. Hidden Peace.

Elf bookseller.
A bastard who pretends to be smart but doesn’t know how to do anything.
Elf knight.
You only know how to use mana, you fucking bastard.

‘If I had fought more, I really would have won.’

Elf knights know how to use mana.
However, the amount of mana stored in her body was so small that it was close to nonexistent.
This is enough to win.

To be honest, I’m talking about hundreds of Deadmen.
I don’t consider myself cowardly at all.
Where is a fair and upright bastard like me?

Finally, the elf princess.

“Bloke! Don’t look at the princess with such evil eyes!”
“No. How do you say what I saw? In our dimension, we’re very sensitive to things like this, so stop fucking around. If you don’t want to get lost.”

Of course, there were eyeballs.
Because the elf princess was wearing a lewd outfit.
The reason why the elf knight protecting the princess reacted sensitively was because he had already been burned by humans.
The tutorial is just starting, so how can humans who have seen the elf princess’s nipples and eyepieces leave them alone?

Moderately pretty people in modern society are courted by numerous men.
Moreover, the law is given to dogs, and there is no need to say anything about the elf princess to players of various dimensions who have cultures that they do not understand beyond various cultures.
He would have been subjected to harassment and harassment in many ways.

“Eloin! Stop now. Not all humans are like that.”
“… Yes. All right.”

The elf knight fell limp and fell backwards.
So, where does a mere swordsman get in the way?

I ignored him and followed the elf princess leading the way.

Scattering breastplates, view-coverers covering the mounds.
I couldn’t stop my eyeballs from rolling.
There was something unique to elves that stimulated humans.

When I think of my girlfriend, wife, daughter-in-law, and especially Yoo Da-hee wearing clothes like this, my balls will shed bloody tears.

Kleurup-.
“He showed up again. Priest.”
“These poor monsters. I need to give you a quick rest.”

Beating dead man became a daily routine.
The elf party naturally showed off their strength.
Among them, what caught my eye was the ‘spiritual art’ performed by the elf princess.

“It’s Undy. Help.”
Pororong-.
“Hmm. Why does the lowest level spirit appear?”

Undine, the water spirit, wriggled and threw water droplets at Deadman.
The drop of water exploded the moment it touched Deadman, and Deadman disappeared without leaving a trace.
Even though it is originally powdered.

‘I’m bored.’

Although it was the lowest-ranked spirit and had a pitiful and shabby appearance, the potential itself was real.
As long as the affinity with the spirit is good, it is a super-efficient skill that will not tire you even if you use it relentlessly.
Definitely learn

‘Will the spirit go away with me when I return?’

Although questionable.
Something to think about later.
He hadn’t learned spiritism, so there was no need to worry.
You should drink kimchi soup in moderation.

“Elf’s spirit art seems amazing every time I see it.”
“Is that so? However, after being summoned to the ‘Tower of Struggle’, the higher level spirits do not respond. Is my affinity with the spirits only this much?”
“Soon the spirits will respond. It will take time to adjust.”

Roughly answered.
I didn’t have the confidence to explain in an understandable way that it was because I was leveled down.
It’s better to not do something you can’t handle.

I went on a normal hunt with the elves.
Catching Deadman is something I’ve been doing for over a month already.
Even if it’s boring, it’s too boring.

Just when I was hoping for something different to happen, the elf master found something.
It was a tombstone sticking out between the bushes.

“Here. There are strange tombstones. Princess.”

If it was an ordinary tombstone, I would have just skipped it.
It was a tombstone with a purple tint on a gray background.
A stone that emits light.
I just couldn’t get past it.

However, it emits an unpleasant energy, so it feels like you shouldn’t touch it even if anyone sees it.

Was there a hidden piece of this kind on the 0th floor?
Never heard of
However, we cannot be certain that it is not Hidden Peace.
In this novel, only the hidden pieces that Dahee Yoo knew were described, so there was a lack of such information in the middle.
It was a bit annoying.

Let’s believe in the saying that if you stay still, you will go in the middle, and let’s stay still…

‘Wait, am I not a regressor even if I’m only half?’

‘Return by death’ also returns to me as a standard.
Theoretically, if I die first, and if Dahee Yoo dies, it will start over in the Colosseum Square.
Meaning that using regression aggressively isn’t bad.

‘Uh?’

Then, if I die and Dahee Yoo’s starting point changes to 1st floor, will I die forever?

‘Whoah, relax.’

I don’t think there is any need to take the risk.
Decided to give up right away.

“What is this? Priest?”
“I don’t know because it’s the first time I’ve seen it.”
“I can’t even read the engraved characters. What is written…”

The elf princess glanced at the elf book.
Unspoken pressure.
The elf bookkeeper was startled and began to take a closer look at the tombstone.

“What do you think you know?”
“I think it will take time. Right now…”
“Like. Let’s take a break here for a while.”

While the elf’s head was cracked, I sat down on the dirt floor as if I were laying on a pavement.
The elf knight found a suitable rock, shook off the dirt with a handkerchief, and called the princess.

“Princess, please sit here.”
“Ah. It’s okay. Because I can’t be comfortable.”

While summoned to the ‘Tower of Struggle’, the elf princess had the mindset to give up her position and live as a player.
The mindset of giving up power impressed me deeply.
Although she didn’t seem to understand the elven knight who assisted her or her bookie.

How long has it been
The elf bookkeeper straightened his bent back.
Seeing that her face was quite bright, it seemed that the interpretation was vague.

“It’s easy. Alfheim’s greatest scholar. It was too easy for me, Elvaren. Princess.”
“Ha…”

Whether that bastard was Elbarun or Albaron was none of my business.

“Okay. El Baron. What was the tombstone about?”
“The contents written on the tombstone were about the monsters that appear here.”
“A monster that appears?”
“Yes. This tombstone contains the power to prevent monsters from approaching the surroundings. It says what kind of protection it is, but I couldn’t understand what kind of protection it was. Just give me a little more time…”

According to the elf bookkeeper, there is a certain protection hanging on that tombstone.
Due to the power of protection, monsters could not attack around the tombstone.
That said, this area is a safe area for monsters.

‘Why?’

Is it necessary to put such a tombstone here?
It seemed to be one of the traces that the real artist had set up and discarded.

“Well… What is Gaho?”
“Yes. Do you know anything?”
“I also have a guard. Uh… It says ‘Nature’s protection’ in the information.”

‘Nature’s protection’, a protection sometimes possessed by the elves who love nature.
Seeing that even the divine protection was attached, the elf princess was really not an ordinary elf, right?

But you die in the end
If I didn’t meet Dahee Yoo on the first floor, that meant I couldn’t come up.
Because of some incident.

“Princess.”
“Yeah. Priest.”
“Can I hold your hand for a moment?”
“Noooooum!”

The elven knight sped up and screamed.
It was so loud that the elf princess covered her ears.

“Eloin! What disrespect to the priest!”
“But Princess… ! He is a human being just like them. Humans always look at the princess…”
“The priest is not that kind of person. Divine power is the power of the goddess! The Goddess does not lend her divine power to just anyone. Firm faith, sincere attitude, altruistic heart! Only those who set an example for others can help others with divine power under the shadow of the goddess.”

The elf princess reminded me of my greatness once again by praising the goddess.
In that world, the elf princess’s logic would be correct, but this place is inside the ‘Tower of Struggle’.
In the ‘Tower of Struggle’, the powers of various dimensions are mixed, and through the assistance of the ‘system’, it is much easier to learn than the original dimension.
Even if you go to the same university, there is a clear difference between going to the regular school and going to the special screening for rural areas.

‘It’s comfortable.’

How comfortable is this when you know how to convince me?
Even the elf princess would come to know the providence of the ‘system’ if she lived in the ‘Tower of Struggle’, but right now she was in an illusion.

“Keugh…”
“I apologize on behalf of Eloin for her rudeness. Sorry. Priest.”
“No. There may be misunderstandings between us.”

I smiled benevolently and held the Elf Princess’s hand.
I could feel the ‘protection of nature’ responding to my divine power.
Nature was not against me.
The princess is looking good on me too.
It wouldn’t hurt to give it a try once in a while.

“Princess.”
“Yeah?”
“Could you tell me about ‘spiritual magic’?”
“It’s ‘spiritual magic’… ?”
“Yes. Meeting the daughter of the great World Tree, Yggdrasil, stimulated my pure passion for learning after a long time. I want to learn the basic elven ‘spirit art’ rather than the artificial ‘spirit art’ that humans are learning.”

The elf princess showed her slight hesitation.
It was not a feeling of displeasure.
If I interpret it from my point of view, it feels like ‘Can you learn by telling me this?’.
It’s as if an elementary school tutor is controlling the pace.

I changed the nuance and asked again.

“Can you tell me about spiritism? Is the spirit that the princess summoned just now Undine, the water spirit?”
“Yeah. Yes. It was of the lowest rank in size and strength.”

It was easy enough to tell them about spiritism.
I can at least introduce myself.
It’s just that it’s difficult for me to understand.

The princess answered my questions faithfully.
I asked every single thing I was curious about while reading the novel and what I want to hear right now.
The ‘system’ began to build up things in my body one after another.

After chatting about spiritism for a while, a ‘system’ message came to mind.

[Obtain ‘Spirit Lv.1’!]
“Uh? The ‘spiritual art’ level has risen.”
“What level are you?”
“Three.”

The level of spiritism of the elf princess with ‘protection of nature’ is 3.
Fuck, should I lose my hand?
I don’t think it will ever grow.

‘Because the more skills the better.’

Get another one
Let’s be content with that.

‘Information.’

Still weak, but not bad.
I could see that he was getting stronger little by little.

The forest is silent.
The wind brushed through the trees, making a cool sound.
Conversation was interrupted.
After acquiring ‘spiritual magic’, there was no reason to talk about ‘spiritual magic’ anymore.

‘Uh?’

In an instant, the smell wafted up.
Three or four players were approaching this way.
Looking at the speed and direction, it felt like they were blatantly aiming this way.

‘Guys, are they going to die here?’

This party of elves die at some point.
It was because they were elves I didn’t see on the 1st floor when Dahee Yoo cleared the tutorial.
I just don’t know if it’s now or not.

“Someone is coming. Princess.”

The elf knight drew his sword.
His eyes were burning with a sense of mission.

Men’s voices are heard.

“You mean it leads here?”
“Yes. You’re right. The incense buried by the old woman is blowing from this side.”

Their conversations were quite loud.
They wondered if they were trying to advertise that they were here.

The elf knight gritted his teeth.

“Those guys again… See princess. Humans do not reflect. Never trust They are not worth trusting.”
“Eloin…”

The elf knight glared at me.
I never thought I’d be suspected like a guilt-by-association system just because we’re the same human being.

The elf princess straightened his clothes with a worried look.
It seemed useless because it was something that her boyfriend would wear to her boyfriend for an event to celebrate the first anniversary of her relationship.
If you really hit it, you can see the butt, chest, and everything.

“Five!”

The protagonists of the voice appeared.
It was a group of four human beings.
A Moorim person who came from the same dimension as Baek Seon-woo, who wears a flattering uniform.

If it was third-rate, his physical specs would be on the same level as mine.
If you are a second-class samurai, you cannot afford it.
Besides, humans eat less leveling down, so the odds of me winning are close to zero.

Like, for example.
Should I say potential?

The highest level is 200, but a level 10 elf knight.
The highest level is 20, but a second-class samurai with a level of 11.

Leveling was like that.
So, this situation did nothing good for the elves or for me.
Because of this unreasonable nerf, the odds of survival for elves are close to abysmal.
Only one elf survived during the plot.

“Queue. Did you see You said I was near her.”
“Hmm. Look at the old body. Why don’t you tell me to eat it?”
“But what about him? It wasn’t there before.”

A truly majestic look.
They didn’t even think about losing.

“What does it matter who he is? Just leave that bitch alive and kill them all.”
“That’s right. Because men can be killed.”
“This noooooumdeu!”

The elven knight poured mana into his sword.

“Ohh. Do you know how to use swordsmanship? But the inner air is thin. It’s just about moving the flag.”
“Leader! Please!”
“OK. I will kill that saekmok person, you guys kill that strange guy.”
“Yep!”

The one called the captain raised his sword and sent the rest of him out to the elf master.
The Elf Knight and the captain’s sword collided, fighting for a long time and attacking each other.

And soon after, I kissed the dirt floor.
Being a second-class samurai, I couldn’t even compete with someone like me.

Ku-gu-gu-gu-.

The ground shakes and opens up.
I felt my body go down, down, fall.

[‘Return by Death’ is activated.]
