Chapter 559: Chapter 559

◈ Episode 559. If you can’t reach it (1)

Kim Hyun-min kept lowering his head.

“I’m really not the type of person who gets caught by the collar and just gets away with it…. It’s a good day, and my boss has given me a lot of reasons, so I’m going to get over it just this once.”

“Thank you….”

“Thank you and do your best. “I wonder where there are people like that in the world these days.”

The sound of footsteps moving away.

Only then did Kim Hyun-min raise his head and look at the police station. Seongjin Park Manager Park, whom he had always disapproved of, was constantly groveling.

“thank you. “Then have a hard time.”

“Director Park….”

“Where are those people? “Did you go?”

Jinglang.

The shadow returned to Director Park’s face, which had never lost its smile until the moment the door was closed. He let out a deep sigh and rummaged through his jacket pocket.

“Oh, I was quitting smoking.”

“I’ll run and get it.”

“it’s okay. “You don’t even know what I’m smoking, what about Assistant Manager Kim?”

“…sorry.”

“Okay, sit down.”

The time has already reached midnight.

If it had been normal, I might have been irritated.

But there was a sin committed.

dump.

Kim Hyun-min obediently sat down.

Still, I didn’t understand.

Why did Manager Park protect me?

I didn’t say it out loud.

Manager Park opens his mouth.

“A dispute about assault at a company dinner? “A testament to how much they want me from above.”

…Oh, was it something like that?

It was a moment of thought.

Director Park continued speaking casually.

“And it’s my fault too. It’s my fault for forcing Assistant Manager Kim when I knew he wouldn’t drink a glass of alcohol. I’m sorry, Assistant Manager Kim. “I didn’t know it would turn out like this.”

“?”

That was an apology that I had not even thought about.

Is it because I’m drunk?

Director Park continued speaking with an expression that is not usually seen.

“I guess this is why the first step is so important, Assistant Manager Kim. In my time. We just went out for drinks together a few times and we just became close. I guess that habit has remained to this day. Just understand that the way an old man expresses himself is immature.”

“!”

For a moment, Kim Hyun-min felt like he had been hit in the back of the head.

What is Manager Park regretting?

Did he think he was harassing him?

As he said, it was just a different way of expressing it.

“No, Manager. “I am…”

“That’s enough. “Because I already know that.”

Director Park, who was waving his hand, glanced at Kim Hyun-min.

“Isn’t social life easy?”

“Because nothing in this world is easy.”

“Yes, that kind of mindset is really good.”

Why did you drag Kim Hyun-min to every company dinner?

It was because of the hope that Kim Hyun-min would fit in with the team at least a little bit.

Manager Park shrugged his shoulders.

“And you did well.”

“yes?”

“Because you showed your hot side like you did today. Don’t you think new recruits will not look down on Assistant Manager Kim from now on? You know the external oil and the internal energy, right? “That’s what Assistant Manager Kim showed today.”

As expected, the manager knew everything.

Kim Hyun-min was silent for a moment.

Because I felt like my narrow vision was collapsing.

‘…You’re a real adult, Director Park.’

Likewise, it was probably because I was drunk.

Kim Hyun-min said something he normally would not have said.

That was something I didn’t reveal to anyone.

“Hey, Manager, I have a question for you.”

“Suddenly counseling for concerns? Our Assistant Manager Kim? Okay, give it a try.”

“Well… there is something I must apologize for.”

“apologize? Assistant Manager Kim is not someone who causes trouble, right? Anyway.”

Kim Hyun-min bit his lip.

“But what should I do if the person I must apologize to is now so far away that I can’t even reach him?”

Manager Park touched his chin and answered.

“I should just live with it, what should I do?”

“…yes?”

“Even though I made a mistake so big that I had to apologize, it’s best to just live my life, thinking that I’m glad that it turned out so well that I couldn’t just apologize.”

Is it because we drink a lot of water in society?

“That’s ridiculous.”

Manager Park was cool-headed in that respect.

“Do you think that person would want to see Assistant Manager Kim?”

“…!”

“You might be lucky if you remember your face.”

…It really was like that.

Kim Hyun-min laughed without realizing it. At this moment, when I think of the people around Ho-yeol, I realize that he was living a life where he could not even become a passing ‘Extra 1’.

‘No, actually, I’ve known it for a long time.’

So I lived a quiet life.

However, there was a reason why I had a change of heart recently.

Yes, in the community and at restaurants.

It was because there was enough change to tell a story.

Hyunmin Kim opened his mouth again.

“So what should I do when that person is being ridiculously misunderstood? Should I just hold on and hold on? “You know better than anyone else that that can never happen?”

“Hmm.”

Director Park scratched his beard this time and answered.

“No matter what, if you have a conscience, shouldn’t you put up with it? No, when you encounter an unfair situation, it would be the perfect time to atone with action. “Like a confession of conscience.”

“Then I think I caught it well. Boss.”

“Hold on well and what?”

“It’s that bastard’s collar from earlier.”

“…what?”

Eventually, the two headed to the main street to catch a taxi.

Even while walking.

Director Park didn’t understand so he muttered several times.

“So what does that have to do with grabbing you by the collar?”

Then I asked.

“Are you, Assistant Manager Kim…, acquainted with Lee Ho-yeol?”

Since we knew each other, Kim Hyun-min responded bitterly.

“…we were friends.”

“Huh friend?”

“It was the only one for me at that time.”

Real friends.

But I was like that to Ho-yeol….

It was the moment when Kim Hyun-min was about to fall into deep thought.

Manager Park shook his head.

“What, Lee Ho-yeol and Assistant Manager Kim are friends?! Even if you’re drunk, you’re still very drunk? Guess I’ll never offer Assistant Manager Kim a drink again. From now on, if I ever offer Assistant Manager Kim a drink, he’ll be a dog! It’s called the dog manager…”

Relic.

Heavenly sword Excalibur.

A [Myth] grade item.

but.

“You are so cruel, humans.”

Despite its rarity, Excalibur was roughly stuck on the ground. Not only did Nettuber players gather to find the content, but even players passing by said something.

“This is the real Excalibur of those rumors…!”

“Did you look at the information window? “It’s crazy that it’s at myth level!!”

“I heard the special effects are real? “Dominance of weapons in the world.”

A secluded field in the Kingdom of Yusra.

Excalibur was stuck there.

The reason why his precious body became a spectacle was simple.

“I will never forget the shame of sending this body into exile.”

As you can see, it was because he was too talkative.

The players were astonished at the sight.

No matter how much people in the world are not interested in wealth and fame.

“Does it make sense to treat a mythic item like this?!”

I can’t believe you just left it like that.

Among them, there were some who were beyond shocked and consumed with greed. The player checks the floating item window and begins to talk nonsense.

“No, if it’s been neglected this much, isn’t the person who actually picked it up the owner? Why is Excalibur a sword that only the chosen ones can draw?”

Then he strides over and extends his hand.

“If I just draw it, shouldn’t I be able to have it?”

Why was there no level limit in the information window that popped up?

Limitations full of question marks.

Isn’t this something you can satisfy yourself?

“Take some pictures from there. “Leave it as evidence later.”

There was no one who could stop such a man from doing so.

Well, it wasn’t just one or two people.

Excalibur begins to glow the moment a man touches it.

“also…! “If it’s a production like this…!”

It took a moment for the man’s face to start to brighten.

Jijijijik.

The man’s limbs were shaking as if he had received an electric shock.

It just collapsed.

What that meant was simple.

“You’re asking me to take as much as I can, right? “If you can take it.”

“Well, I said it wasn’t over yet.”

“Then isn’t this a kind of declaration of war against the pantheon?”

It was like that.

Excluding Ho-yeol Lee, the only beings worthy of picking up Excalibur were the gods of the pantheon. Then, this Excalibur is the bait to lure the God of War who is hiding somewhere.

One Netuber player is slowly catching the wind.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Seeing it with my own eyes makes it even more unusual. Who in the world would have imagined this? Of course it’s Lee Ho-yeol! “It’s not enough to subdue the gods of the Arcana Continent, so now you’re playing with them as bait!”

The chat window responds immediately.

-Just homen

-Now he’s just surpassed the player’s limits ㄹㅇ

-It’s beyond amazing, it’s scary ㄷㄷ

Like a professional broadcaster, he agrees with his wits.

“It seems that the Pantheon was not wary of the infinitely deep darkness for no reason. In that sense, isn’t it fortunate? “Lee Ho-yeol is on our side.”

No one objected.

Because Lee Ho-yeol has only walked for the sake of humanity.

But at the same time, someone had witnessed it.

“Whoa.”

“Why are you sighing, Captain?”

“huh? “It’s just nothing.”

The image of Ho-yeol facing Paimon in Jeju Island.

Perhaps that is why those who entered Jeju Island felt fortunate in their hearts. About the fact that they were the only ones to witness Ho-yeol giving off a different energy than usual.

But there was a fact that even they were overlooking.

It was floating in the sky and observing everything.

The existence of magical eyes.

.

The devil of the ten thrones.

Buer paimon gamigin.

As many as three demon lords were hunted by his hands.

Of course, there was room for controversy.

“Even if Buer said that, wasn’t Paimon and Gamigin hunted by him? “Paimon fell into the foolish Baal, and Gamigin fell into the open gates of hell.”

Ritual of the Ten Seas.

Discussions take place beneath the veil.

The role of mediator is once again the Demon King of the Eighth Throne.

It was Barbatos’ part.

He spoke using his power of ‘objective vision’.

“Even if Gamigin and Paimon didn’t die directly at his hands. “In the end, it was that man who drove them to their deaths.”

It was Barbatos’ objective eye that evaluated only the facts. When he made his decision, even the ten disciples who rarely gave up their stubbornness fell silent. But silence only led to bigger questions.

“I can’t believe it. “Paimon, I never thought he would fall.”

“They say countless sacrifices were made for the curse.”

“This is a result that was not expected at all.”

To Paimon, being the ninth Demon King was meaningless.

His strength could be assessed as only Baal knew.

Barbatos looked closely.

‘…The next arrow will be aimed at me, right?’

As Buer Paimon fell into hell, he became the lowest of the ten. Whether you look at it visually or objectively, it was clear that it was your turn next.

Beneath the veil, Barbatos swallowed dry saliva.

‘I am neither stronger than Gamigin nor more honorable than Paimon.’

Can I survive that man?

The gentle mediator began to evaluate himself objectively.

It was then.

As expected.

“We can’t let that incomprehensible being into the demon world.”

“As Paimon said, we must strike first.”

“Then it’s your turn, Barbatos.”

Slowly, his name began to be mentioned.

Barbatos was in agony.

No matter how hard I racked my brain, I couldn’t come up with an answer.

It didn’t even occur to him that he could handle a man that even Paimon couldn’t handle. So this time, I looked at the memories in the objective eye.

‘…There may be a clue.’

If it were his objective eyes, he would have looked around the Arcana Continent and their world from a more diverse perspective than the magical eyes of the other Ten Lords. I thought maybe I could find a new way out.

Barbatos’ understanding of the topic was correct.

“…!”

Barbatos witnessed this.

Their world.

A new ‘fear’ is sprouting in the world of adventurers.

Barbatos opened his mouth quietly.

“Maybe it’s possible.”

I read the words that came to mind again.

──────

A new event is coming to you.

The new event ‘Emissary of the Ten Seas’ begins.

1. From now on, ‘Barvatos, the Demon King of the Ninth Throne’ will become a neutral force.

2. A delegation from Barbatos wants to visit Seoul, the land of Kii.

3. Barbatos’ delegation wants to sign a peace treaty…

──────

What?

Is the devil and the Ten Seas a neutral force?

The sun doesn’t rise in the west, so what is this?

“You can be proud, Barbatos.”

Sweet.

Gran Fell puts down the unemptied teacup.

Soon Cube Bangjeong continued speaking.

“You are the first devil to make me lose my appetite.”
