How to Survive as a Player Chapter 76

#76

[Road players, please pay attention here! Today, there will be a congratulatory speech from Agatha, the host of this banquet and the Lord of Adin, a cavalry empire currently ranked 7th in the Elix Empire. We hope everyone welcomes us with applause.]

Loud applause rang out and something jumped down onto the chairman’s podium. She was a half-human, half-horse woman with the lower body of a white horse and the upper body of a human. Agatha, the Lord of the Cavalry Empire, dressed in a white uniform suitable for a white horse, appeared in front of the crowd with a benevolent and solemn appearance.

It was a noble look. However, the spirit that flowed out was so great that it overwhelmed everyone. It was such a thrilling feeling.

[I would like to express my gratitude to those who graced this occasion today. I hope that we return with great results between the empires. Today’s banquet is the cornerstone for that, as well as a meaningful event that gives everyone the opportunity to challenge their ‘achievements’, so I sincerely ask you to brighten this long night. As long as our sacred cavalry empire, Adin, is with us, this land will be given endless glory.]

The majestic voice ended with a blessing. The cavalry empire, whose name was steadfast spirit and severance, was a sacred race that served God. Maybe that’s why the cavalry empire was usually unable to overcome injustice, and often helped lower-ranking villages. It was an empire that served as an example to many.

So it was even more puzzling. She said why she held this banquet. If she had been here the whole time, why did she endure the injustice that the Celestial Man suffered?

Sehyeon’s gaze moved to the corner of the terrace where the Celestial Man was. But I had to regret it as soon as I saw it. He was still crouching there with sad eyes.

No one touched or looked at me. She was just trembling, holding her miserably broken wings.

“brother… !”

Se-hyeon’s gaze, which was looking at the Celestial Race, fell on Jae-young Lee, who was running from afar. Behind Lee Jae-young, who was running with a face full of tears, was Baek Do-hyun, who looked like he was going crazy. Sehyeon ran to Lee Jaeyoung in one step.

“Jaeyoung, did you wait long for your brother?”

“Brother, that bastard didn’t do anything bad, right? That guy in 8th place keeps telling me not to go… .”

“I just talked for a moment. “There’s nothing to worry about, Jaeyoung.”

Lee Jae-young looked like he was about to die because he felt unfairly treated. Gently stroking his hair, Se-hyeon looked at Baek Do-hyeon who was following him.

“Baek Do-hyun, do you know who that person is?”

What Sehyeon pointed to was the Celestial Race. Baek Do-hyun’s eyes stayed on him for a very brief moment. Soon Baek Do-hyeon’s expression became frowning.

“It’s better not to get tangled up. “Even your nonsense doesn’t work on that guy.”

“… “Who is it?”

“A homegrown empire.”

The answer came from Jaeyoung Lee. Homegrown empire. It was an empire I had heard of. An empire that is said to be on the rise among the Celestials due to its excellent resilience and excellent survival ability. The tribe was ‘Cheonyu’.

“You were in the top 100.”

“Yes, we are ranked 98th. It’s also a case where it didn’t come up on its own, but rather came up parasitic. The homegrown empire is currently carrying the stigma of being a parasitic empire, and it is a place that survives by subsisting on slave contracts. “I can’t help you.”

“Why don’t we consider cases where it is unavoidable?”

“I myself have no intention of escaping, but even to Goryeo.”

Baek Do-hyun frowned again. He then asked me not to get involved, but I couldn’t bear to say it. He said he had already been tangled up once.

“Wouldn’t my ally have a drink? “I noticed earlier that you weren’t drinking.”

“Hey, get out of there! “Where are you coming from in second place?”

“So you’re in third place, aren’t you?”

“I’m superior to you in terms of military power, right? “If only I could eat, I’d be in second place, you machine.”

“Even if you look at it like this, not everything is a machine. “It’s just a limb.”

Sehyun sighed as she saw Fan coming in between Jaeyoung Lee and Dohyeon Baek and holding out a glass. He wanted to go home. The reason I came here had already become cloudy.

The image of the King of the Cavalry Empire, surrounded by people, came into view under the dazzling light. Does the scope of ‘us’ mentioned by Fan really include the King of the Cavalry Empire?

Even with empty words, Sehyun’s current position could not be said to be very good. That started with the stinging gaze. Since the news of the airship blueprints became known, it was clear that they would somehow find out about Sehyun’s empire and plan an invasion.

Sehyun has not revealed her ranking yet. This meant that each player could make a different guess. The most likely hypothesis is that it is an alliance empire of the engineering empire Fen. The common view of Se-hyeon is that of a parasitic empire where people give their bodies and take care of their backs.

The location of the Celestial Race was just about right here. The next most influential thing was ‘those gazes’.

When I turned my head to where I could feel the gaze, I made eye contact with an unfamiliar man. As soon as he saw Sehyeon, he bowed his head to show respect. Unlike the others, he seemed full of goodwill.

Not only that, but so did the kings of several empires. Most of them were kings of high-ranking empires. They seemed to have predicted Sehyun’s location to some extent. However, I didn’t tell anyone about this. Quietly, I monopolized the information.

It had one meaning. It means ‘I’ll see you soon.’

“Mr. Fen.”

“Why but?”

“You said you wanted to test it, right? Please select it yourself and send it to me. However, only those who are willing to do so. “We will send you our invasion portal identification number soon.”

“I guess so.”

“I won’t deal with you unless I’m s*xually aroused.”

Fan’s job was to reveal Sehyun’s invasion portal identification number to those seeking the airship blueprints.

Fan didn’t answer. He just smiled sweetly.

At a banquet where soft music played continuously, the only people who remained silent were the grand dukes sitting in the audience. Of course, Sehyun was unable to find out Ruhak’s location until the banquet was over.

And that night, the banquet ended just before sunrise. It was a long night for Sehyeon, to the point where he wanted to collapse and sleep.

“Then I’ll see you later.”

“Yes, please just leave… . “I’m so tired I’m going to die.”

“Don’t fall down.”

“Brother, are you okay? Should I just take you there? “What if I get motion sick again?”

“haha… . No, my brother is perfectly fine. “And then I’ll go and sleep right away.”

“You’re the weakest person all by yourself, tsk.”

“Baek Do-hyun, why don’t you just bring some special products and stop talking like that.”

Sehyeon stood on the airway with everyone in the cool early morning breeze, waiting for the airship to be released from the hangar. She could see dawn coming little by little.

The sun, faintly illuminating the snowy mountain beyond the waterfall, sparkled with fluttering water droplets. Sehyeon, who was looking at the distant view, finally realized that the long night was coming to an end.

Many players were on the flight path, saying goodbye to the long night. Each was with forces that had formed alliances. The King of the Cavalry Empire walked among them to say his last greetings.

Sehyun’s gaze turned to the airship being shipped again. Sehyeon’s order seemed to be the last. Behind everyone stood the princes with bored expressions.

“I’ll go first. “I hope we can all gather together in the near future.”

The first to take a step was Fen. Jaeyoung Lee greeted him with a growl, and Dohyeon Baek greeted him with a brief nod. Sehyun also bowed her head slightly as a greeting.

“I’m leaving too. Isis, let’s go.”

When the sun shone, Isis took on the form of a woman. Isis gave me a stinging look and followed Baek Do-hyeon. The next airship shipped was Jaeyoung Lee’s.

“brother… Are you really okay? If you have any inconvenience while going, please contact us right away. “I will definitely go.”

“okay. “Jaeyoung, please take care and go well.”

As I brushed Jaeyoung Lee’s head, whose eyes were drooping, and sent him away, only Sehyun and Ruhak were left there. A cool wind blew through his hair.

“I’m sorry for making a fuss.”

It was an unintentional commotion, but it was right to act as if I had two lives. Still, I wanted to say that there was nothing I could do at that time.

Ruhak was speechless. It just moved towards the airship that was released a little while later. Sehyun also tried to do the same. If it weren’t for the man approaching, dragging his broken wings.

He was a native of the Jaseng Empire. He must have not fully recovered, and his wings were still a mess. Either that or he was persecuted by someone else in the meantime.

His pitch black eyes met Sehyun’s gaze. Suddenly, Baek Do-hyun’s words passed by. It is said that he is a being who protects the empire by abusing and parasitizing himself without the determination to stand up for himself.

“… “Don’t you have anywhere to go?”

“… … .”

The man lowered his head. She bowed and nodded her head shallowly. Does that mean asking for help, or does it mean finding a new parasitic empire?

I couldn’t figure it out.

“I am… It won’t help you. “It’s because I’m not free enough to count people who can’t get up on their own.”

“… … .”

“But what if?”

The man’s head lifted up. Black wet eyes. there was nothing. Still, I couldn’t ignore why it looked so desperate.

“If you want to wake up on your own… “Please follow me.”
