ReLife Player Chapter 697

Relife Player 697

[Chapter 178]

[Poisoned cup]

No one expected it.

Who would have known?

Cocoon will collapse overnight, monsters will invade, and Gangbuk will be devastated.

“The old saying that people don’t know what’s going on is true. Who would have thought that things would turn out like this?” “That’s right. Who would have thought that because of that, the Pandora Clan would become the clan that governs the two regions.”

All the clans with enemies in Yongsan-gu sighed.

Due to this disaster, they lost much of the influence they had had on Yongsan-gu.

Some clans even lost their clan halls and ended up living in simple buildings with other residents.

The clan lost its honor, dignity, influence, and troops.

In comparison, Pandora Clan has a clan hall at Sadang Station, and it is said that no clan members died and did not suffer any damage.

“Huh, really… I sometimes think that the Pandora clan lord knew something like this would happen and deliberately set up the clan hall in the direction of Sadang Station in preparation.”

“I understand how you feel. I was so confused at first. Moreover, when I heard that they had stored up two months’ worth of food before the disaster struck, I wondered if they really knew.”

“You must have been really lucky. Could it be that you knew something like that would happen and prepared for it? It’s a food issue. In the first place, the clan is required to store at least two months’ worth of food, so that could be the case.”

“But it is a strange thing. Maybe I met a brave shaman somewhere?”

“Uh-huh, this person. Do you really believe that such a thing is real?”

“If magic is real, why don’t you believe in shamans?”

“Rather than that, it is more credible to say that Pandora Clan has players with the ability to see the future.”

“You never know if that’s really the case.”

“Well, there are a lot of things that are questionable. But the goodwill of the fairy government and the public sentiment are with the Pandora Clan, so what’s the use of questioning such things? How can we investigate something that can’t be revealed?”

“Well, there is no reason for the Pandora Clan to answer any suspicions. Rather, the answer is strange.”

I don’t know much about clans in other regions.

The clans of Yongsan-gu watched the beginning of the Pandora Clan in detail.

In that sense, the Pandora Clan’s actions during this disaster were viewed as unfavorable.

But since I couldn’t prove it, I could only conclude that I was lucky.

Therefore, they now had no choice but to acknowledge reality as it is.

Pandora Clan won.

that they were defeated.

The reason they were heading to the Pandora Clan Hall now was nothing more than to officially acknowledge it.

“When I received an invitation to hold a local general meeting at Sadang Station, I wondered who would go there, but in the end, we all went.”

“That’s right. I thought the DM Clan would be destroyed by the Pandora Clanlord within a few hours and hand over the position of representative clan. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have had to come here groveling….”

“Shh! The DM Clanlord is next to me. What are you talking about?”

“Ah, what should I do now? Why should I care about the DM Clan, which suffered a major defeat this time, lost the power to recover, and gave up its position as leader?”

“”””… … .””””

In the words of a clan lord.

The clan lords glanced at the DM clan lord, who had been silent the entire time.

DM Clanlord was just blushing and letting off his anger.

Because it was all true.

Even though that’s the case─.

“—It’s the same for you, and you can’t even tell the difference.” “I beg your pardon?” “Why? Did I say something wrong?” “”””… … .””””

Everyone was in similar situations.

They were in a situation where they would not be able to fight clan wars for several years to repair the damage caused by this disaster.

In other words, under the rule of the Pandora Clan, they have no choice but to seek opportunities for consultation with the gods.

The problem is that even if they regain their power, the Pandora Clan will be stronger by then.

Counseling was nothing more than fancy words to cover up the humiliation.

In fact, it could be said that after the disbandment of the Changhae Clan, the clan wars that took place in Yongsan-gu and Jung-gu, reminiscent of the Warring States Period, came to an end.

Clans can no longer disobey the words of the Pandora Clan.

“Okay, now. Let’s stop fighting. No, should we come all the way here and fight?”

“That’s true. What’s the use of fighting among ourselves?”

In the end, everyone is in the same situation.

The local general meeting to be held today at the Pandora Clan Hall was an event where the clans themselves acknowledged the fact that they had all officially come under the rule of the Pandora Clan.

They should have been humiliated because they knew that.

Still, it was something I had no choice but to attend.

This position is a crisis, but in some ways it is also an opportunity.

For at least a few years, Jung-gu and Yongsan-gu will be the kingdom of the Pandora Clan.

If you can’t change the situation, you have to maintain a friendly relationship with them to ensure your interests.

I will take out your liver, gallbladder, everything.

Although it would mean giving up one’s pride, it could not be said that one would suffer a loss if one’s interests were guaranteed by doing so.

Furthermore, if you are seen well by the Pandora Clan, you may be able to gain benefits that you did not enjoy before.

“”””Keuhum, khum!!””””

That’s what they were thinking.

They fought constantly to claim themselves as representatives of a region, but now they had to compete for loyalty to see who was closer to the Pandora Clan.

As a result, they were secretly wary of each other.

“”””… … .””””

We soon arrived at the Pandora Clan Hall.

A 10-story building.

They were speechless as they looked up at the Clan Hall, which had been completed only a year ago.

I could only admire it.

Which clan uses a 10-story building as its clan hall?

Even before they entered the building, they were overwhelmed by the majesty of the Pandora Clan.

At that time─.

“—I guess they came from Jung-gu too.”

DM Clan Lord spoke.

People’s eyes turned.

On the other side, Hanseong Clanlord <Windwoon Sword>, once the representative of Jung-gu, was coming with the Hanseong clans.

“It’s been a while, DM Clanlord.” “That’s right. Is this the first time we’ve gathered together like this since the Changhae Clan was disbanded?”

“Well, it’s a new feeling.”

“”””… … .””””

Clans in Yongsan-gu and Jung-gu.

They looked at each other with sad faces.

No one knew they would meet in this way.

They dreamed of becoming the losers of both regions while the clan war continued.

However, by encountering it in this way, I woke up from a dream.

“—Long time no see. Hanseong Clan Lord. And DM Clan Lord.”

Then, another group appeared among them.

The number was too small to call it a crowd.

There were only 5 people at most.

However, the person following them was in a position that could not be ignored.

“It’s been a long time. I never thought I’d be attending the same meeting. I haven’t even participated in the Yongsan-gu local general meeting….”

“It’s really nice to see <The Mercenary King> after a long time.”

“Because times have changed.”

“”””… … .””””

<Mercenary King> David Kim.

And the Itaewon faction he leads.

DM Clan Lord, Hanseong Clan Lord had to be polite to the <Mercenary King>.

This is because the person they once looked down on is now on the same level as them.

Where is that?

Times have changed… .

The closest thing to Pandora Clanlord at this point is <Mercenary King>.

Currently, the Itaewon faction was under the protection of the Pandora Clan.

They, who had a good relationship with the Pandora Clan and were willing to wag their tails like dogs, could not look down on the <Mercenary King> and his forces.

“Let’s go quickly instead of staying here.”

“Let’s do that.”

Eventually, they divided into three groups and entered the clan hall.

“─Hello. I am Shakira, the Pandora Clan administrator who is in charge of guiding us today.”

“I’m Minji Kim, a Pandora Clan ranger. You can follow us.”

“This is Yeobi, a supporter of the Pandora Clan. Everyone, welcome!”

“”””… … .””””

There were three people who welcomed the clan members who entered the clan hall.

One was a Korean foreigner.

The skin of the woman, who was reminiscent of an Arabian dancer and whose mouth was covered with cloth, was as dark as if she had been tanned by the sun.

The other person was Kim Min-ji, who the Clan Lords were familiar with and called <Whisper>, or the residents called <Mimi> with tears in their eyes.

The last one was a supporter whose name I didn’t know well.

The faces of the clan lords who were guided by the two people darkened.

Clan Pandora is ignoring us.

Sending low-ranking clan members… .

The clan lords couldn’t shake that thought.

Although they were all different in size, they were all leaders who led a group.

If such people were busy and came to visit in person, it was only natural for the other party to treat them with courtesy.

Considering their status, a clan lord, sub-lord, or administrator should come out and guide them.

However, the Pandora Clan sent only an administrative member and a clan member.

I feel pretty bad.

Anyway, this is not it.

Are they already trying to manipulate us?

The clan lords had all kinds of thoughts.

Hanseong Clanlord’s face hardened.

The DM Clanlord blushed, thinking he had been ignored.

Is there such a thing as etiquette for large joints?

To put it bluntly, isn’t it too cheap for a clan lord to do anything?

We’re in a bad mood and won’t move from this spot. So quickly bring someone higher than you.

Even though their expressions may be mild, they decided to express some dissatisfaction.

It was right then.

“Haha. Shakira, my daughter. I feel like I’m now quite a member of the Pandora Clan. It suits me well.”

“It’s been a while, father.”

“Ranger Minji Kim. Our kids may not be very polite, but please take care of them. Hello to the Yeobi player as well.” “Speak comfortably. The Clan Lord has given instructions to treat <Mercenary King> with the utmost respect.”

“Yes! You can come this way.” “”””… … .””””

While they were about to explode.

<Mercenary King> came forward and treated the two very favorably.

Since the <Mercenary King>, who had made a contribution in this disaster, said so, they missed the opportunity to express their dissatisfaction.

And─.

“—<Mercenary King> and your companions can take this elevator. I’m very sorry for the rest of you, but this is the only elevator currently in operation, so you’ll have to take the stairs.” “”””… … !!””””

They realized greatly.

That the Pandora Clan is trying to thoroughly tame themselves.

It also means that the forces in Itaewon are treated with the utmost respect.

“You can all come with me. The Clan Lord said he hopes you will consider me the Clan Lord of the Pandora Clan and follow me.” “”””… … .””””

Soon, Shakira goes up the elevator with <Mercenary King>.

Minji Kim opened her mouth in a gentle tone, and Yeobi nodded.

Even though it is nothing short of blasphemy.

The Clan Lords realized that the Pandora Clan Lord was threatening them and kept their mouths shut.

They became solemn.

☆

The Pandora Clan Lord’s intentions were obvious.

The first goal is to engrave my fountain into my body while climbing the stairs.

As you climb the stairs, you will inevitably be amazed by the view inside the clan hall.

Yeah, that’s good.

Let me see with my own eyes just how amazing your clan is.

Even before entering the Clan Hall, there were some Clan Lords who were shocked when they saw the building.

Clan lords who had become regional representatives at least once were furious.

But they were stunned every time they climbed a floor.

“So… this is where the Pandora Clan eats?”

“Yes, that’s right. There are only 8 restaurants currently open, but they say the rest will open in the future.”

“It wouldn’t be profitable with Pandora clan members….”

“The number of clan members is small right now, but it will increase in the future. Also, our clan administrator said that a soldier’s morale comes from the meal he eats that day.”

“”””… … .””””

“The number of clan members is still small, so during breakfast, lunch, and dinner times, the companies adjust the ingredients appropriately and serve it as a buffet. And at other times, clan members are allowed to use the companies they like on their own.”

Pandora Clan Hall 3rd floor.

There were currently five food businesses operating.

There were Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Western, as well as chicken businesses.

It is said that it occurred to him that there were too many options for the Pandora Clan members.

“Have you eaten by any chance? My clan prepared some snacks for you in case you’re hungry. Please try some.”

At that time, the explanation was left to Kim Min-ji and the fox rain disappeared somewhere and came back.

She handed out the refreshments.

The clan lords stuck out their tongues.

Something that didn’t seem to be sold commercially looked quite appetizing.

“It’s delicious….”

“Is that so? I eat it often these days. It’s a snack that Luminous Sweets supplies to our clan.”

“Huh, they also supply snacks? That’s the first time I heard about that.”

“Yes, limited to our clan.” “”””… … .””””

“…I see. But there is a cafe here as well as the first floor.” “Yes, the cafe on the first floor is for people visiting the clan to use. On weekends, some people come to worship, so I often use this cafe.”

“Service on the weekend?”

“There is a cathedral on the second basement level.”

“”””ah… .””””

The DM clan lord exchanged a few words with Yeoufei and was dispirited.

The clan lords who were listening to the conversation between the two did the same.

The scale was different.

Moreover, a cathedral called Galaxy Church, which was mentioned in passing in a newspaper some time ago, is being built in the basement.

The clan lords stuck out their tongues.

Even now, residents are clamoring to entrust the request to the Pandora Clan, but if the cathedral comes in… .

Just as players and politics are managed separately, shouldn’t religion and players be managed separately?

The clan lords who had been ignoring the function of religion had a feeling that their position would be further diminished.

Afterwards, while eating refreshments, they climbed the stairs as if they were touring a museum.

The 4th, 5th, and 6th floors were residential areas, so I passed by without much to see.

“”””There’s a movie theater here too… .””””

Pandora Clan Hall 7th floor.

They were dumbfounded when they saw the movie poster on the wall and the popcorn machine on one side.

There is no such thing as wasting money.

It was the clan lords’ thoughts.

Soon they realized that the Pandora Clan was sponsored by five groups and lamented.

“The scenery is very nice. There is a swimming pool in a place like this….”

“In addition to the swimming pool, there is also a sauna. The men of our clan even compete to see who can last longer in a betting game.” “”””… … .””””

Pandora Clan Hall 8th floor.

The clan members were speechless when they saw the huge swimming pool on one side.

It is a hotel, not a clan hall.

Meanwhile, Minji Kim grumbled that she couldn’t figure out what was so good about saunas.

For a moment, the clan lords glared at her with strange eyes.

Of course, when Minji Kim turned her head, their heads also turned.

“The 9th floor is being used as a library. Everyone is working, so I’ll just pass by.”

Finally, on the 9th floor of the Pandora Clan Hall.

They went up one more floor.

“Meetings are usually held on the 7th floor, but on special days like today, we sometimes hold meetings on the 10th floor, which has a nice view.”

Minji Kim said as she headed to the conference room.

The clan lords saw through Kim Min-ji’s words.

As expected, the Pandora Clanlord deliberately intended to have them walk up to the 10th floor and look around the entire 10th floor.

“”””… … .””””

But they couldn’t be angry.

By coming this far, I realized the difference in the environment greatly.

If you think about it, wasn’t this something that the clan in charge of representing each local general meeting used to do with pride?

Although I wasn’t this arrogant.

They were resigned.

“Ah, Namhoon. Are you protecting it?”

“They said it would be better to protect someone. Shakira and Seona will be waiting inside.”

In front of the conference room.

The clan lords met a man with a round face.

Through the name that Yeobi calls.

The clan lords quickly figured out the man’s identity.

Is this man a <man-dog-unsleeping> person?

This time, I think I defeated the 4th rank leader Duterbi with the <Diamond Sword>.

<Unsinkable Only> by Yu Nam-hoon.

His performance in this disaster was truly remarkable.

Among the gifts that neutralize poison, it has been revealed that it possesses the most powerful gift, <Detoxification>.

And the story that he helped defeat the corps commander using his gift was well known.

It’s different from the rumors. As far as is known, it is said that <Mandogbulchim>, as its name suggests, has a sword-like aspect.

Now that I look at it, it looks gentle.

Is it because the face is round and a bit fleshy?

The clan lords did not feel wary from <Unsinkable>.

Nevertheless, public officials never lied.

They entered the conference room, deciding to remember Yu Nam-hoon.

“Are you here?”

“”welcome.””

David Kim came first into the conference room.

Shakira was standing behind her.

It was natural.

Soon, they found <Geumho> Jin Seo-na, who was recently known as a golden telepathist, next to Shakira.

“Each clan has a designated seat, so please check the sign on the seat before taking a seat.”

As the name suggests, Ain has very impressive golden hair.

She was a beauty who caught people’s attention.

However, the words Jin Seona spoke to them were quite blunt.

The clan lords returned to their seats with the impression that she was harsh.

Then, they stopped.

Why is the position of <Mercenary King> placed next to the Pandora Clanlord? In comparison, the seat of the Hanseong Clan Lord is quite far away, and the seat of the DM Clan Lord is located far away, right?

Could it be that the seats were arranged with some intention?

The clan lords felt uneasy after sitting down.

Then, as if reading their psychology, Jinseonah smiled and explained.

“Seats were allocated in the order that the clans that responded first said they would attend when we sent out invitations.” “”””… … !!””””

“It’s no big deal.”

It’s not a big deal.

The faces of the clan lords distorted.

The DM Clan Lord, who was sitting in the last seat, was visibly embarrassed.

Either way, Jin Seona just shrugged her shoulders.

Then, this time Shakira opened her mouth.

“I’m sorry, but the Clan Lord says he’s going to be a little late because he has important work to do at the moment.”

“”””… … .””””

“It’s okay. I’ll wait for you even if it takes a few hours. Oh, can someone bring me something to drink?” “Yes, I will come back.”

Is it still training to come all the way here?

The expressions of the clan lords turned rotten.

In contrast, <Mercenary King> had a leisurely time throughout.

In the end, they had no choice but to wait and eat the refreshments that Minji Kim and Yeobi brought.

“”””… … .””””

How long do I have to wait?

It is said that clans that hold local general meetings often use this, but isn’t it too much to do?

Nonetheless, they had to be patient.

They were Eul.

Pandora Clan was the best.

Considering the future, it was inevitable.

Moreover─.

─This is Shin Se-gun, completely surrounded.

One after another over time.

Mok Min-ho of <Diamond Sword>, Ryu Yeon-hwa of <Seolchang>, and Yoo Nam-hoon of <Unsinkable> came in and stood erect near the door.

In name, it is called security.

Does it make sense to provide security in a place where monsters won’t appear?

It was no different from an unspoken threat that if you made a foolish move, they might brandish a weapon.

The face of <Unsinkable> has changed.

This is why people said it was full of poison.

DM Clan Lord.

Hanseong Clan Lord <Wind Cloud Sword>.

The clan lords, including the two men, became wary as they saw the face of Yoo Nam-hoon’s face becoming increasingly hard.

It seems that he usually has a naive appearance, but when he gets into battle, he seems to become fierce.

☆

It is the day of the local general meeting.

Nevertheless, Eunha was having a leisurely time.

Even though the clan lords had already arrived in front of the clan hall, they were taking their time.

“Eunha, do you really have to go this far? There’s no need to go this far….”

“I have to do it like this. Otherwise, people will look down on me.”

Pandora Clan Hall 2nd floor lounge.

Eunha enjoyed her leisure time lying down on the bed.

Eunhyuk Choi, who said he was going to raid the dungeon a little later, had an expression on his face that he couldn’t understand.

Eunha could fully understand his feelings.

Even though that’s the case─.

─Even though it is cruel, we have to do this to let people know who is above and below us.

There are already some people who try to subtly tell me that I am young, but what?

It was not a place for simple friendship, but a place to ensure power relations.

Even though it was obvious, crude, and petty, I couldn’t help it.

If you don’t do that, you’ll be eaten by them without you knowing.

The people who each had a 10-year-old snake in their stomachs were the Clan Lords.

This was the conclusion that Eunha came to after watching what was happening next to Ha Baek-ryeon before returning.

“Do people take drugs that much….”

“Haven’t you experienced it at the Academy? This is how people who originally got a spot end up stuck. It’s even worse here.”

“The Clan Lord’s society is a jungle.”

“What world is not a jungle? Seoul, where we live, is ultimately no different from a jungle.”

That’s the way the world is.

Therefore, if you want to survive for a long time, you have no choice but to become petty, petty, and weak.

“Didn’t you hear what Seohyun said at the meeting last time?” “I heard. It was worse than you.”

“You’re weaker than me.”

“Ugh….”

Whether Eunhyuk Choi sighs or not.

Eunha recalled what Han Seohyun said a few days ago.

She was more than she was.

They ordered all Clan Lords’ weapons to be confiscated on the first floor, and players with weapons were placed in the conference room.

If you’re going to do it, do it thoroughly, but if you do that, you’ll end up in a real fight.

Eunha rejected Han Seohyun’s offer.

There was no need for that.

The Warring States period of clans competing over constituencies has long since come to an end.

There was no need to threaten them by taking away their weapons.

Of course, some clan members will be placed in the conference room to prepare for any emergency.

“Eunhyuk, do you just want to go and protect yourself? If the situation arises, it will be self-defense…”

“No, I can’t live in the jungle. I’m going to live in the dungeon.”

“Okay, go, go. You can promote the clan like that.”

Eunhyuk Choi shakes his head.

Eunha pushed Choi Eunhyuk’s thigh, who was sitting on the bed, with her hand.

Eunhyuk Choi left like that.

Not long after that, Jin Seona sent a telepathic message.

[─All the clan lords have arrived. I also told you to wait a little because you would be late.]

[good job. You’re not going to make a fuss, are you?]

[There are a lot of dissatisfied people… . Namhoon oppa looked at me with a straight face and became quiet.]

Artifact, push of two people.

It was a brooch-type artifact that Jinseonaga obtained by processing a Chungmu-grade relic.

Eunha focused on her telepathy that appeared in his mind and communicated telepathically like her.

[It’s quite comfortable.]

[Can I hear everything you think?]

[Now hang up. I don’t know how to cut it off on my part.]

[Just give it a try.]

[Hang up, hang up, hang up.]

Eunha frowned.

As I connected my head with the pass, all the sounds in my heart leaked out.

On the other hand, Jin Seona was able to skillfully control the sounds of her heart.

[If you come up here, I will release you. How long do you plan on making me wait?]

[Until I find out how those people will treat me.]

[Listening to Minji, it looks like it was broken a lot on the way up… . Why don’t you stop coming up now?]

[If you release this, I will go up.]

[Oh yeah? Are you saying you want to have a telepathic fight with me? It’s not a big deal for you to attack my mind whenever you want.]

[On the topic of dogs.]

[[email protected]##!!#@!]

[Okay, let’s go. Stop being weird. Because it’s noisy.]

Eunha sighed.

I was trying to get a good night’s sleep.

It seemed like I couldn’t do that.

Moreover, since Han Seohyun was already at the conference hall, Eunha could not delay any longer.

[Come quickly.]

[I’m on my way.]

So Eunha arrived at the 10th floor.

He opened the conference room door.

“”””… … .””””

David Kim smiles happily.

The clan members are relieved.

The clan lords paid attention to the galaxy.

Eunha sat in the highest seat, receiving their attention.

Seohyun Han and Hayang Jeong were sitting on either side.

Eunha lightly held hands with the two people under the table and opened her mouth.

“—I’m a little late, right? I’ve had a lot of work to do these days. Please understand.”

“”””… … .””””

Made me wait for 40 minutes.

Eunha said calmly.
