Return of the Frozen Player 445
Reaper of Souls (3)
“Mmm.”
When Seo Jun-ho, who had been tossing and turning, slowly opened his eyes, an unfamiliar ceiling filled his vision.
A hearty smile crept on my lips without my knowledge. It’s because I had a pleasant dream after a long time.
Wait, is this a dream?
After blinking his sleepy eyes several times, Seo Jun-ho’s upper body stood upright.
“Is this crazy?”
Could it have been a dream?
The Knight’s Corridor, the reunion with Lord Hart, the sparring, and everything from him leaving the corridor with him?
‘Come to think of it, Lord Hart did that.’
The moment you leave the corridor, all memories of that place will disappear.
But I remember it so vividly
Which means maybe.
“ha ha ha… …
It must mean a dream.
The moment Seo Jun-ho blurs out his empty smile and makes a dejected expression.
“Quaang.”
Frost, who was sleeping face down on the sofa, woke up rubbing one eye.
She cradled a cushion in her arms and approached him, staring at Seo Jun-ho and yawning.
“Hmm, contract date. When did you start collecting stones again?”
“A stone, what kind of stone?”
“Peck, stone.”
When I turned my head to follow her gaze, there was indeed a stone lying on the side of the pillow.
About the size of your index and middle fingers.
The moment he saw the unique pattern engraved on the stone, Seo Jun-ho’s eyes changed.
‘Wait, this pattern… …
It was definitely the pattern drawn on the walls and stone statues of the Knights’ Corridor.
Seo Jun-ho’s expression brightened as he carefully held the stone.
“Ha, Sir Hart.”
I can’t explain it in words, but the moment I squeezed it, I felt it.
That this stone contains the soul of the ‘Heartwiper’.
‘Then it means that the night before was not a dream.’
Why didn’t the memory disappear?
Seo Jun-ho was able to find the answer to that question in the system log.
[Leaving the Knight’s Corridor. in the corridor
Erase all memories of the book.]
[The Hero’s Spirit (EX) is activated. Memory Erase (S) effect is nullified.]
“indeed.”
To be honest, compared to Frost (EX), I thought it was a useless ability even though it had the same ability level, but I never thought it would be useful in an unexpected situation.
‘Besides, it’s a stone with a soul. I never thought Lord Hart would be with me like this.’
I said let’s save the world together, how can I save the world with stones?
go.
Seo Jun-ho couldn’t even figure out how to use the soul stone in his hand.
“%le “
TT t3.
At that time, frost tasted his lips from the side.
“Contractor, is the one in your hand a spirit stone? Do you want to eat Bonnyeo?”
“no. never eat it never.”
Seo Jun-ho shook his head and lowered his voice as if he were telling a great secret.
“Because this is Lord Heart, not a spirit stone.”
“… … Ah, yes.”
Frost, who frowned for a moment, looked at him with pitiful eyes.
After a while, she let out a light sigh.
“Whoa, I think the original girl should step up again for this.”
“… … Are you stepping out?”
“Ugh, nothing.”
Shaking her head, she sat down on the bed and smiled broadly at the Soul Stone.
“Oops, that’s right. This stone was a heart weeper. Is she sorry that the original daughter didn’t know?”
“… … hey. I know it sounds crazy, but this really is Sir Hart.”
“Oops, that’s right. So maybe this is the head?”
” Ana.”
Now I’m openly treated like a crazy person.
Seo Jun-ho gave a light laugh and explained in detail what had happened the night before.
“No! If that had happened, you should have rushed to her side right away and explained it!”
“Before I could explain, you treated me like a madman.”
“Well, to be honest, I was surprised when I saw it. She thinks you’re crazy… …
Upon realizing that Seo Jun-ho was not out of his mind, she put on a happy face.
“Contractor, then what do you do with that stone?”
“I don’t know that either.”
“Can’t you talk?”
” oh.”
Conversation, I hadn’t thought of that.
Seo Jun-ho put the stone to his ear and whispered lowly.
“Sir Hart, Sir Hart’?”
The moment when the two of them pricked their ears and waited for his voice.
– Well, over there… … .
“Sir Heart!?”
– No, I have a hunch. He’s trying to tell you that he probably won’t be able to communicate with this stone.
“what… …
The two of them made faces that seemed to be drained of energy.
In particular, Frost must have been very disappointed, even crossed her arms and bruised her intuition.
“He is truly ignorant. Don’t you even know how to giggle?”
– What does that mean?
“Take a bite! Bye bye when you fall!”
-… … It’s kind of weird. do you really mean that?
While the two were bickering as usual, Seo Jun-ho said to the soul stone.
“I will figure out how to use it ASAP. Just be patient until then.”
A guest came to me as soon as I carefully stored it in my inventory.
“I also added that His Majesty should bring them as soon as possible.”
“… … It’s an entrance.”
I can see why you are calling.
Seo Jun-ho nodded heavily.
“Let’s go right away.”
Perhaps because of the order of the emperor, all the complicated entrance procedures were omitted.
“Is this the second meeting?”
The iron-blooded medicine of the empire, which seemed not to bleed even if stabbed with a needle.
“… … The last time we met, the heart was also together.”
He had a very empty expression on his face.
He looked at Seo Jun-ho, who got down on one knee without saying anything, and continued.
“It wasn’t a relationship that could be defined just like this. Sometimes he was like a friend, sometimes like a teacher, and sometimes like a loyal subordinate.”
He asked, closing his eyes with a confused expression.
“What was his end like?”
“It was like a knight.”
If Hart had focused on Mercury, he would have endured and would not have died.
However, when he saw that the outer fortress had collapsed, he was worried about the people of Märchen.
So he led a detached unit and tried to kill Najad Hollow, but failed.
“He was a true hero who thought of the people before his own comfort.”
“If you had heard that, Heart would have been very happy.”
Gauss smiled faintly.
“Since long ago, I really liked your story. There were times when I was praised for being great at a young age.”
“… … Did you?”
I had no idea.
Lord Hart had never shown anything like that before.
Gauss rose from the throne and opened his mouth.
“The great star of the empire has lost. It must have been such a fierce battle. A necromancer who alone moves hundreds of thousands of troops. If it wasn’t for you, the empire would have suffered even greater damage.”
He slowly walked down the stairs and came to Seo Jun-ho.
“Player Seo Jun-ho, raise your head.”
” yes.”
“Since I highly appreciate your merits in this war, I will bestow you with the position of count and fiefdom.”
“… … thank you.”
It was a very formal thing.
The brilliant star has lost, so the people will be relieved to announce the birth of a new star.
“In addition to that.”
Emperor Gauss gestured to the knight at the entrance.
The knight steals with a sword
have walked
“As a token of gratitude to you for helping this empire despite being a foreigner, I am conferring the national treasure ‘Twilight’.”
It was a sword with a twilight glow, as if it were made by striking the night sky.
‘This is what Lord Hart used…
Seo Jun-ho stared blankly at the sword wrapped in thick cloth.
[Dusk]
Rating: Unique
Description: A famous sword made in the Age of Glory.
* Concentration: Holding this weapon clears your mind.
* Elevation: When you hold this weapon, you don’t feel tired very well.
* Twilight Hour: When the sun goes down, the effect of the sword is doubled, and strength increases as physical strength decreases.
The effect of the sword was great.
In particular, when the sun goes down, ‘Hunter’s Night (A)’ is activated, and he is a perfect match for him.
It was a body.
“… … Can I really accept this sword?”
“Variously.”
Gauss said in a determined voice.
“Because it’s you, I’m handing over this sword.”
Heart, who usually doesn’t show his emotions, was the only man who complimented him with shining eyes.
Because that’s what it was.
“… … Let’s send a letter to Earth right away.”
Outland.
The emperor, who had also deployed troops to the ‘super-giant gate’ with the earth that was created there, opened his mouth.
“The Frontier is an eternal ally of the Earth, and when you are in danger, I will stand by it before anyone else.”
Heartwepper’s funeral was held as a state funeral.
“Contractor, I saw her on TV.
They say you can learn about a person’s life at a funeral.”
“Then Sir Hart has had a wonderful life.”
Because the people who filled the streets mourned his death and poured out their tears unsparingly.
Seo Jun-ho, who watched for a while, rode the Semei Gate with the imperial delegation and returned to Earth.
“Aren’t you going to visit Yeongji?”
“well.”
Anyway, I asked Emperor Gauss to set up a substitute, so the territory is back
Going will be no problem.
However, he instructed his intelligence organization, ‘Moonlight’, to operate there as a base.
It would be easier to work with a strong back.
After returning home, Seo Jun-ho sat Seo-ri in front of the TV and went straight to the president’s office.
“Are you here?”
A friend I hadn’t seen in a long time welcomed him comfortably, as always.
“I heard the story. They said they were quite close, and if you ever need a drinking buddy, anytime
tell me.”
“You can’t drink. When I drink two glasses of soju, I get drunk.”
“Still, isn’t the injection just listening to others?”
Well, that’s why it’s okay to drink alone, and it’s comfortable to drink together when you’re feeling stuffy.
“Call me if you remember.”
Seo Jun-ho, who was seated, asked.
“How’s the Semei Gate thing going?”
“Teach the manager how to close the gate
Unskaya is conducting. According to him, it closes in five years.”
“Five years?”
It was a much longer time than expected.
Especially at this time when the great danger of the heavenly horse lurks.
‘He’s still in recuperation, so I can say he’s fine.’
My body would be fully recovered in about a year, but by then it seemed like it would be quite a headache.
“Maybe only a few go up to the 6th floor.”
“The story came out anyway. We also need players to protect the Earth.”
Still, Deokgu emphasized the positive aspects.
“Let’s look forward to it. Since the Ruben Empire said that they would give full support, it might be time to close the gate sooner.”
Of course, it was because of Seo Jun-ho that the imperial side showed such a favorable attitude.
“Well, let’s talk about this here. So, until the 6th floor is open, hunt everything.
Are you thinking of Neil?”
“I’m not going to hunt, I’m just going to wander around here and there.”
“What is it?”
Shim Deok-gu made a surprised expression.
Because he knew better than anyone what a fierce battle maniac Seo Jun-ho was.
“Well, after Namgungjincheon and the demons on the 5.5th floor, Najad Hollow. No matter how tired you are.”
“it’s hard. Give me a raise.”
“go away. Even now, the Korea Players Association
Most of the year’s profits go straight to you.”
“It’s embarrassing.”
“Then shall we cut some?”
“go away.”
I should use that money to raise more information guilds.
That way it would be easier to find a way to use the soul stone.
When Seo Jun-ho got up, Sim Deok-gu also stood up.
“You don’t want to see the children’s faces?”
“You must be busy, so what?”
Of course it’s fun to be with friends, but now was a time when we needed our own time.
“Is there anything I can help you with?”
“… … Oh, I almost forgot. I have one.”
Seo Jun-ho remembered the biggest reason he came down to earth and demanded it.
“Prepare a drink. A lot of that too.”
