Chapter 70: Chapter 70: After the demonstration.

After the demonstration.

The “master,” a small and medium-sized company that was common everywhere, has become famous around the world and has been turned upside down by the equipment manufacturing industry.

Some claimed that they were developing a mana barrier function, while others criticized the items created by the Master as fake.

As the size was small, all kinds of checks poured out from all sides, and there were a number of people who tried to do something to Master, but they were stopped more easily than expected.

[HW Factory, ‘The Art of the Master is world class’]

[Alec Arms CEO David, ‘Those trash that can only undermine others’ achievements should be removed from the industry’]

[Fantasy Workshop, ‘Waiting for the Master’s contact at any time.]

Large companies took the initiative to remove the checks poured on the master and sent constant love calls to prove that the technology was real.

If it’s a considerable level, they may have joined, but the newly developed mana barrier function is an object of a different level, so they raised the white flag from the beginning!

“The technology is a big hit.”

“Well, but the peak should be in terms of sales.”

“What does it have to do with sales? Equipment without mana barrier function will no longer be competitive.”

The price difference is not big because raw materials are not expensive, but the performance is more than several times different.

Master set up a negotiating table without any hassle with just one technology and contacted leading companies from around the world to proceed with license agreements.

When things are going so smoothly. One strange rumor circulated in the industry.

“Did you hear that the real owner of Master is from the small guild?”

“I heard it…… does that make sense? How can the general manager buy shares like that? He must be a relative of Nam’s family.”

“I’ve heard that’s not true. I guess he’s just a genius guy.”

An investor who has made aggressive investments in a collapsing Master and saved a few dozen times. It was constantly mentioned who the legendary character might be, and the content was spectacular.

Born Hunter with investment skills, Prophet Hunter who can predict stocks to rise, and a regressor who returned from the future after failing stocks.

It was ridiculous, so all kinds of rumors spread, and naturally the presence continued to grow.

When the agent and debtor, Han Young-chul, the former general manager of Lotus Guild, was becoming an investment mogul.

“What is that?”

-It’s a knife made by a master. It’s well balanced and has excellent processing, so it won’t lose its light even if you use it for a long time. It’s the right thing for Lord.

Kang Yoo-sik was talking about a knife with AI.

“What about that?”

-It mimicked a similar appearance, but…… It’s of poor quality overall. I recommend you not to use it.

Kang Yoo-sik, who listened to the words of Perceval, who was now an AI, read a paper that had been covered up.

Then he read the price and evaluation of each knife written in it and exclaimed.

“Wow… you really got it all right. That’s amazing.”

He didn’t give information in advance, but it saw through each knife’s characteristics or condition perfectly. Kang Yoo-sik admired the ability, and Perceval answered politely.

– It’s something to do as an AI to serve the Lord.

“What did you said was the principle?”

-We accept information about objects through Lord’s sensory organs and analyze them with internal computational devices to produce results.

In a word, it watches together, and then it produces results smarter. It’s not an emotional skill, but it was a similar function, so Kang Yoo-sik looked interested.

‘It’s really curious stuff.’

He’s heard a lot about equipment with intelligence, such as spirit weapons and ego weapons, but this kind of equipment was the first before and now.

It is an unprecedented situation that AI has a scientific feel, and that it suddenly changes due to the resonance of Perceval’s parts.

‘First of all, I think there’s nothing bad about it.’

As a result of experimenting in various ways. AI Perceval was a very good piece of equipment.

Computational assistance has made it possible to cast five times faster than it is, and Aketrav’s control has become easier.

On top of that, he even pointed out the opponent’s attack or gap more accurately with his emotional function, and even looking at his simple combat capability, he increased more than before.

If all the power is available, he can overwhelm in a real confrontation, not a single-shot match with fully armed Trua.

‘But the only thing that’s concerned is……that I still don’t know this guy.’

In his spare time, he was looking at both pendants, assistants, and controls, but he couldn’t figure out why they had changed so much.

That’s why the performance is incredibly good, but it’s uncomfortable and can’t be used properly.

‘Should I take it to Nam Chul-soon and open the lid?’

Kang Yoo-sik thought impulsively in frustration, but he shook his head quickly.

‘No, I can’t.’

He knows well about Nam Chul-soon, but there is no debt relationship yet, and he is busy studying the complete barrier.

If he leaves the investigation to Perceval in that situation, it will probably be inefficient.

‘Then again… in the case……is he the only one?’

He tried to find out by himself as much as he could, but now that this has happened, he has no choice but to use his accumulated debt properly.

After concluding, Kang Yoo-sik walked straight out of the accommodation.

“Please take a look at this.”

“……what?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She offered the parts of Perceval to Ban Hye-young.

“Didn’t you get it from Trua or something in England?”

“That’s right.”

“But what do you want me to do? Did you even break it?”

“You’d better watch it, first.”

As he stuck out the pendant, Ban Hye-young accepted it with a mysterious expression and looked down at the strange expression.

“Hmm? Its structure of the flowing mana is like…….”

Ban Hye-young, who frowned, looked alternately at the pendant and Kang Yoo-sik, waved her hands in the air, and took out a colorful form of monocular glasses from somewhere and put them in her right eye.

Woo-Woong-

In front of the monocular glasses, a small magic line came up, and Ban Hye-young looked at the pendant, fine-tuning them.

And in 10 minutes. Ban Hye-young, who took off her monocular glasses with a slightly shaky hand, pressed down on her forehead.

“Did you… rob the Round Academy treasure warehouse with domination spell?”

“What? That’s impossible.”

“That’s impossible. But where’d you get this, you lunatic…….”

Ban Hye-young, who murmured as if she was embarrassed, opened her mouth slowly after briefly organizing her thoughts.

“I don’t think it was like this before, but suddenly it’s like this…It’s about borrowing 15 billion won a while ago, isn’t it?

Kang Yoo-sik nodded because he had no intention of hiding it from the beginning.

“That’s right.”

“Can you explain what happened?”

“Well…….”

Since Ahn Seol-ha organized everything related to Oh Ji-heon, Kang Yoo-sik told everything except for that part.

“You, you’re the real owner of Master?”

“Yes, so far.”

“……Something doesn’t make sense, but considering your unusual behavior, it somewhat makes sense.”

Ban Hye-young, who looked ridiculous, asked after pondering how Perceval had transformed.

“Did you bring that thing with you, the controller?”

“It’s being fitted now. Wait a minute…….”

Click!

When he brought his hand to his back, the controller came out, and the aids that were attached to his chest like armor fell off.

“These are the ones.”

“Well, let’s see…….”

Ban Hye-young, who was taking out her glasses again, quickly finished checking and took off her glasses.

“Well, that’s for sure. This is the cause.”

Ban Hye-young, who touched the pendant, thought about how to explain it and continued slowly.

“It looks like an expensive pendant, but it’s actually sealed in layers. To make it easier to understand, there is the main body, but the battery is gone.”

“Then did this aid become a battery?”

“Right, but I think there were parts that were supposed to be batteries…… and because it’s so compatible, it’s taken over.”

In other words, there was an unscheduled set effect. With that explanation, Kang Yoo-sik asked just in case.

‘Is that the right explanation?’

-Exactly. Lord. But why didn’t you ask me from the beginning……?

Kang Yoo-sik, who swallowed the word, “How could I trust you?” sneaked over Perceval’s question and looked at Ban Hye-young.

“So there’s no big problem?”

“Not much. It’s a bit gloomy, but it doesn’t hurt the user. On the contrary, it recognized as the owner this time, so it was better.….”

Ban Hye-young, who was pondering something while looking at the pendant, looked at Kang Yoo-sik as if she had reached a conclusion soon.

“I’m going to research it.”

“Excuse me?”

“It looks like it’s going to be unsealed if it fits well even if it’s not an existing component…… maybe we can expand that tolerance a little bit.”

Kang Yoo-sik made an interesting expression on Ban Hye-young’s words.

Perceval can be completed without existing parts. In other words, there is no need to rob the Round Academy, which was the biggest headache.

“If it goes well…I think everything will be easy.’

Of course, it’s not easy to get compatible parts, but it’s worth trying if Ban Hye-young says she’ll research it like that.

“Then I will leave it to you. Should I give you the pendant?”

“I’ll keep it until I analyze the seal structure. Maybe mid-July…… It will be over before summer vacation starts.”

“Here you go.”

-Lo, Lord?

Ignoring Perceval’s embarrassed voice, Kang Yoo-sik handed over the pendant, and Ban Hye-young’s mouth twitched.

“Oh, it’s been a while since I’ve done this……I’m so excited.”

“Is it that great?”

When Kang Yoo-sik asked as if he didn’t know, Ban Hye-young touched the pendant.

“Of course, if you can unseal it with other parts, you can change your ability from the original form to the desired direction.”

“So…… you can make it into a perfect item for me?”

“That’s right.”

She can make it into a thing that fits me perfectly. Kang Yoo-sik gave a strange look.

‘The right stuff for me…….’

What’s compatible with Perceval? Kang Yoo-sik, who had been agonizing over it for a while, suddenly thought of a ring to find in Italy, where he would go during summer vacation.

‘Maybe the ring works with Perceval…….’

Like the spirit sword Perceval, which was wielded by a disaster-class devil, the ring was also an item that went through the hands of many devils.

Kang Yoo-sik, who was thinking for a moment, smiled and shook his head.

“It can’t be compatible only because it’s an unlucky thing.”

It’s one of the top 10 equipment, so there must be more difficult conditions. Thinking so, Kang Yoo-sik looked at Ban Hye-young.

“Thank you for your work.”

“Leave it to me.”

-Lo……Lord. Please say to the lady not to break it…….

Perceval talked in a trembling voice whether he recognized Ban Hye-young’s strength, and Kang Yoo-sik added with a smile.

“Just don’t break it.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t break it.”

Smiling Ban Hye-young looked down at Perceval.

“Won’t break it.”

* * *

A dock in Italy.

Under an old warehouse with no human traffic. In the hidden basement, five people looked at the bag in front of them.

It looks rugged on the outside, but it’s a very durable special bag that can withstand attacks from A-class hunters lightly.

The five men, who looked with nervous eyes, exchanged their gaze without a word and slowly opened their mouths.

“Really…… if I just hand this over, will I get a billion euros as promised?”

“Yeah, it’s over as long as you turn it over. We’ve lost track of everything, we’ve got a way out of the siege, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

The men relaxed at the words and flopped to their chairs, and soon sighed and muttered.

“We started at 20, but now there are five left.”

“I’m glad we have this many left. If we didn’t run away at the end, we’d all be dead.”

They’ve prepared this plan with the help of a communicator for a year, but they can’t believe they’re suffering this much. They could feel the power of the Di Seta family again even though they are falling.

‘But it’s already over when they’ve missed us.’

It’s a token of succession. It’s not long after it’s been taken away that the organization will be torn apart and the Di Seta family will be over for a new birth.

There’s no threat to them when they think so.

“Hmm. But can I open this?”

One in five muttered curiously.

“What?”

“I won’t be able to see it up close after this, and I was wondering if I could see it for a second before that.”

“That’s…….”

“I do want to see it, too. It would be unfair if we didn’t know what it looked like after all the trouble we’ve had with that shit thing.”

The other two didn’t say anything, but they looked interested as if they agreed, and the man frowned.

None of them would do anything stupid to steal things, but he felt a little ominous.

“He said it was a cursed object that could not be handled unless it was a well-informed successor….”

Is it okay to see it? The man, who had been pondering for a while, sighed at the eyes of the four.

“Okay, let’s take a look.”

They’re not even wearing it, but they’re just looking at it, so what’d be the matter. The man who thought so unlocked the bag already.

Click-

The sound of unlocking sent chills down their spines, and five exchanged eyes. Obviously, they felt a crisis, but no one is talking about quitting.

In something wrong, the man’s hand opened the bag completely and a ring shining golden light was revealed.

And the moment five eyes stared at the ring.

Poohuaaaaaaah!

Red blood splashed all over the room.

The fierce fight ended shortly after, and the lone man picked up the ring covered in blood.

“Hhh…… You are mine…… even if you don’t beg me so much, you’re mine forever…….”

The low-mumbling man put a ring on his hand and trudged toward the exit.

And for a moment in the ring in his hand, the black light fluttered and disappeared.
