MEMORIZE Chapter 646

00646 Dangerous blind date(?). ————————————————– ———————-=

At first, Hanbyeol Kim glossed it over by saying it was nothing. However, who will believe that if it does not match the facial expression or attitude? When I asked if it was something I could talk about if it really wasn’t a big deal, Hanbyul Kim looked as if he was at a loss for words and lowered his head.

“It happened three years ago. I’m not saying I’m going to blame you now. You can just think of it as pure curiosity. “You didn’t get it because you did something bad, right?”

Finally, when he added this, Kim Han-byeol, who had been keeping his head down for a while, finally showed his face.

After a while, the conversation that had been quiet three or four times slowly opens.

“… “I got it from a rite of passage.”

And the voice that followed said something that made me slightly tilt my head.

“A rite of passage? where?”

“At Trap Point.”

Trap point. It was the place where we stayed after leaving the forest, a term referring to a trap city. As Kim Han-byeol has been a user for three years now, he must have heard about the identity of that branch somewhere.

By the way, you got a gem wizard there?

“when? how?”

“… It was when my brother wasn’t around. While wandering around looking for a proper resting place, I happened to find a red gem. “That was the secret class.”

Is this place really uncomfortable? From Kim Han-byeol’s tone, I could sense that he wanted to end the story quickly. Actually, I’m not very impressed.

Anyway, what Kim Han-byeol said rang true. It doesn’t seem like he’s lying, and although it’s very rare, there are cases where you get a rare or secret class through a rite of passage.

But not all questions have been answered yet. At that time, after passing the rite of passage and entering Hall Plain, I checked Kim Han-byeol’s user information several times. I remember that Kim Han-byeol’s class was a regular wizard until the 6th week of the rite of passage. And the day before the graduation ceremony, I was able to confirm that I was a gem wizard.

So, that means I was in a regular class for at least a month… .

“So you inherited the Secret Class right then?”

“no. “I didn’t.”

When asked in a euphemistic way, Hanbyeol Kim immediately gave the answer.

“I don’t remember the details… . “It was probably when the User Academy was past its 10th week.”

“So you just kept it until then?”

“yes.”

“why?”

Kim Han-byeol kept his mouth shut at this question. And then he closed his eyes tightly, as if he knew what was to come. I waited patiently for further words.

Finally, when three minutes had passed, Kim Han-byeol could be seen biting his lower lip.

“then… . “Because I couldn’t trust anyone or anything.”

“huh? “You couldn’t believe anyone or anything?”

Suddenly, I heard a sound that was out of focus, and I ended up asking again without realizing it.

“yes. Literally everything. Stories told by angels, falling into rites of passage, people around you… . No, I just denied and doubted everything except myself.”

It was that moment.

Kim Han-byeol, who paused for a moment, suddenly opened her eyes and looked directly at me.

“Why am I here? Where am I? Who are these people? What is that monster again? What on earth is this gem? “Can I go home?”

And then he took a deep breath.

“is it so. I admit that my personality is a bit sharp and suspicious. But at that time, it was inevitable. “I tried my best not to look weak, but inside I was so anxious that I felt like I was going crazy.”

He continued speaking rapidly, as if he was spewing out something he had accumulated over a period of time. However, in the meantime, there was a hint that he had raised his voice intentionally. As if they were trying to hide the fact that they were making excuses.

“So please don’t ask me why. At that time, I was summoned on the way back after being dumped by my boyfriend and crying awkwardly… . “I was just a 21-year-old female college student.”

… I think I just heard something interesting(?). But the atmosphere isn’t ideal for asking questions, so I guess I’ll just nod my head.

“Okay, okay. okay. So, you’re saying that in the end, you couldn’t use that jewel carelessly because you were anxious?”

It was literally like that. Kim Han-byeol said that at that time, he did not believe in anything except himself. That said, he would probably hold off on using the gem until he was sure of it himself.

“… It’s similar.”

Hanbyeol Kim answered in a weak voice.

In fact, I thought it was a suspicion almost reminiscent of Descartes, but when I think back to when I first met him, I can understand it. Because Kim Han-byeol clearly showed a different side from the three others, Ahn Hyun, An Sol, and Yu-jeong Lee.

Come to think of it, I had quite a few doubts, both in the cabin and at the user academy. Kim Han-byeol’s personality was like that. Such a suspicious person.

Finally, Kim Han-byeol let out all the breath he had been holding for so long and opened his mouth in a desperate manner.

“… That’s how it happened. Anyway, I’ve said everything, so feel free to curse or criticize, whatever you want.”

huh? What does this mean again?

“uh? what?”

“… yes?”

“No, why am I cursing and criticizing you?”

“… … ?”

Then Kim Han-byeol looked at me with puzzled eyes.

“Why… . “Aren’t you angry?”

“So why should I be angry at you?”

“Well, that’s it… . Anyway, I’m in a position to hide that fact… . In a way, I betrayed my brother… .one… .”

“… “What kind of nonsense are you talking about?”

I burst out laughing as I saw Kim Han-byeol stuttering at the end of her sentence. I was wondering what he was thinking. Could it be that the trauma from that incident still remains?

“You discovered it in the first place. And at that time we were just a partnership. As long as you own it, it’s up to you whether you hide it or not. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

“Do you really think so?”

To be honest, my heart hurt a little while I was talking. The day before the graduation ceremony, I felt a bit of betrayal when I saw that Hanbyeol Kim was a gem wizard. However, as time passed, my way of thinking changed, and as I listened to Kim Han-byeol’s explanation, I came to understand it in my own way.

… Above all, in the current situation, ‘Yes! ‘You are a vile traitor!’ You can’t say things like this.

I simply answered with a shrug of my shoulders. Kim Han-byeol looked confused. Still, he seemed to have something to say, and he waved his hands here and there like a orchestra conductor, and eventually let his shoulders slump.

“… “Can’t we just talk about something else?”

“It won’t work.”

Anyway, I solved the question. And when I saw Kim Han-byeol looking sullen, I felt like she was bullying me. I think it would be better to change the topic at this point.

After thinking that, I got lost in thought. Now that I think about it, I think I had another question before… .

‘Amor Nuntios: This is the effect of user Kim Han-byeol’s wish that was expressed solely by user Kim Soo-hyun.’

“Oh right.”

I clapped my hands lightly as a memory suddenly flashed through my head. This was a message that came out when Eve’s bloodline conditions were updated, and I remember being curious about the word ‘Amor Nuntios’ at the time because I didn’t know it.

When I glanced over, I saw Kim Han-byul looking a little anxious.

“Why are you so restless?”

“I’m worried about what kind of questions you’ll ask this time.”

“… Do you remember what happened last time with Ganesha?”

“yes.”

Fortunately, I felt it was a normal(?) question? Kim Hanbyeol lowered her head with a more relaxed face.

“Then, by any chance, Amor Nuntios, do you know what this means?”

However, the moment she spoke, Kim Han-byeol’s face suddenly changed again. His eyes widened to the size of a flower lantern as he looked at her in surprise, using her entire body.

“There was a word like that in the updated information at that time.”

Feeling like I had done something wrong again, I quickly added, but Kim Han-byeol stared at me with a puzzled look in her eyes.

“brother. Just be honest.”

“huh? what?”

“You did that before, and you’re still teasing me to get me in trouble, right?”

“no? “I asked because I was really curious?”

“That’s a lie!”

“hey! Why the sudden noise… .”

Beep!

Just as I was about to respond to Kim Han-byeol’s retort, I suddenly heard a disturbing sound from somewhere.

Boom, boom!

Then there was the noise of something exploding twice. When I reflexively raise my gaze, pure white lights decorating the dark night sky come into view. A signal indicating an emergency situation. I immediately got up.

“Hanbyeol Kim. “Wake up your clan members right now.”

“yes yes!”

At that moment, Kim Han-byeol also seemed to have woken up and was seen running towards him. And after looking at the signal in the air to estimate the distance and direction, I started running as fast as I could.

… What happened suddenly?

*

Before we knew it, the sky was clear and cool without a single cloud. However, the atmosphere of the entire expedition was not so good. Users who had been bright and cheerful until yesterday were gathered here and there this morning, gossiping. With a not-so-good look on his face at all.

After observing the surrounding atmosphere for a moment, I quietly stared ahead.

“f*ck, what are we going to do! “Because of one of your clan members, they all look like shit right now!”

“Well, that…” . I’m just searching the surrounding area… .”

“f*ck that bullshit! “It’s already been 30 minutes since we searched!”

“Ugh… !”

At the front was Gong Chan-ho, who was shouting with a red-faced face, and a man with his head down as if he had committed a mortal sin.

“This bastard won’t feel bad even if you chew on it… ! “How dare you, how dare you run away?”

“Yes, user Gong Chan-ho. Nothing has been confirmed yet. First, calm down… .”

Gong Chan-ho was truly angry. He glanced around and saw his older brother next to him with a calm expression on his face and his mouth firmly shut. Also, Han So-young with her arms crossed with an expressionless expression.

Although they were trying hard to feign composure, the overall atmosphere was quite calm. I sighed lightly.

Early this morning, I ran to the spot where the flare exploded and was informed of an unexpected situation. It was none other than a report confirming desertion.

The deserter’s user information is Jeongpil Lee, a user belonging to the Northwest, or more accurately, the North. This is his 7th year as a user, and he seems to have been an archer whose skills were quite recognized by those around him. There is nothing unusual about it, except for the fact that he suddenly fainted in the giants’ home and recovered a day before the march.

The circumstances of the incident are roughly as follows. A user who went to change guard confirmed that Lee Jeong-pil was not there and waited for about 10 minutes, thinking he had gone to do some business at first. However, he continued to wait but was nowhere to be seen, so he went looking for him, but could not find Lee Jeong-pil anywhere… . I try.

In fact, if it were still in the Steel Mountains, it wouldn’t have grown this big. Under any circumstances, it is natural that desertion is immediately executed, but ‘you ran away because you feared your life.’ It is at least implicitly understood.

However, once you leave the Steel Mountains, the situation changes significantly. These users are sensitive to achievements and rewards, but after the desertion incident occurred, there were all sorts of speculations.

Did he realize that the city existed through his personal ability, or did he make a reckless decision out of greed to monopolize it? I don’t know what Lee Jeong-pil’s intention was when he deserted.

As the majority of users did not know the situation in Atlanta, the prevailing theory was that we should wait and see. However, as I knew that the city was right around the corner, I couldn’t help but feel heartbroken.

So far, it’s not completely hopeless. When Lee Jeong-pil deserts for ‘pure’ personal purposes such as reconnaissance and discovers the city, rather than deserting for the purpose of monopolizing the city, anyone can receive the same achievement. In that case, the setting judges Lee Jeong-pil as a member of the expedition team.

However, I know that the possibility of that happening is extremely low. In the end, for now, we can only hope that Lee Jeong-pil has taken his direction wrong.

“This is a very serious atmosphere, isn’t it?”

It was then.

While I was deep in thought, a natural voice suddenly flowed into my ears.

As I slowly turned my back, I caught the sight of a man striding forward with a very relaxed attitude.

The man approaching with a strange smile on his face was Cho Seong-ho, the Eastern Commander.

『Q&A』

Q 1.

Reader: When on earth will the Prince of Hell appear in the human world?

Ro Yu-jin: Appears in the next episode.

Q 2.

Reader: Lie. They will also say that they failed to control the portion size.

Yoo-jin Ro: Excluding the foreshadowing that Jeong-pil Lee had sprinkled in before, today’s conversation with Han-byeol Kim was the final device for the Duke of Hell part. The stage is ready. If it doesn’t appear in the next episode, I’ll have to do it twice a day until it’s finished. Hehehe.

Q 3.

Reader: But your tone is strangely arrogant today. Hey, then when do I get stat point 1?

Yujin Ro: Well, you can get it by escaping the Steel Mountains and discovering Atlanta as a city?

Q 4.

Reader: Where are you talking informally? You wanna die? Rory, do you want to have one more war?

Ro Yu-jin: I’m sorry. I was just trying to figure out the concept for a moment. ㅜ.ㅠ

Q 5.

Reader: Huh. good. Take a look. By the way, why didn’t the potency-boosting elixir I took last time have any effect?

Ro Yu-jin: … Kim Soo-hyun originally didn’t want to eat it. However, Mar forced him to eat it and Hwajeong persuaded him to eat it. I think you will understand if you read the settings for that part again.

Q 6.

Reader: Then how on earth do the achievement settings work?

Ro Yu-jin: Oh, it’s simple. Basically, you can think of it as following the distribution principle. Last time you left the Iron Mountains, you got 100,000 GP per person, right? Let’s assume that the number of people who escaped at that time was 15,000. This means that if Kim Soo-hyun had broken through and escaped the Steel Mountains alone, he would have gained 1,500,000,000 GP. 🙂

Q 6.

Reader: Brother, what is the poorest king in the world?

Ro Yu-jin: Minimum wage.
