Chapter 769: Chapter 768

“Why are you looking for me, Ikta? Ikta, it seems you haven’t kept your promise.” Raccoon stared at Ikta with a frighteningly deep gaze. Ikta sweated profusely and didn’t say anything. He just looked at Raccoon.

“I am the one who is looking for you, not Ikta.” Hyeonu intervened in such a situation.

The guard captain frowned as he scolded Hyeonu, “I don’t know if it is because you are a human, but you have no fear. How dare you intervene? This isn’t the place for you to step in.”

“It is you, not him, who is intervening. You should know your place.” Raccoon looked away from Ikta and fired a fierce glare at the guard captain.

It was only for a moment.

“You came here quickly. It is even with a guide.” Raccoon turned his head and smiled at Hyeonu. It was different from how he treated the guard captain.

“I thought about it. The only place where the elves can live is the south of the continent. The west is hot and the north is cold. It is a natural choice.” Hyeonu continued his conversation with Raccoon naturally as if this was normal.

“As expected, you are smart. Your mind is as taut as a knife.” Raccoon couldn’t stop smiling. It was because the moment he was about to retract his smile, Tang-E waved fiercely at Raccoon.

“This kid really... You grew up differently from everyone else,” Raccoon said.

It was unavoidable to make a comparison. Even a hedgehog would say that their child was pretty, but… Tang-E wasn’t an unrelated person. They didn’t have the same blood, but he was no different from a nephew to Raccoon.

“Cancun would be very disappointed to hear that, Brother.” Dakan smiled and stopped behind Raccoon.

“You are smiling as well. You should be honest, honest.” Raccoon pointed a finger at Dakan’s face. Then he turned his head to look at the guard captain again. “What are you doing? If you are an elf, move like an elf. There is an elf over there who seems cursed...”

The elves loved their kind more than any other species. However… they valued their own lives more than that. They didn’t rush into anything. Thorough calculations were at the bottom of everything.

“Why? Do you think that human will harm you?”

The guard captain didn’t give an answer to Raccoon’s subsequent question. He was consistent with his silence. Naturally, the elf guards didn’t move when their guard captain didn’t give an order.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Raccoon said again, “Open the gate. They are my guests. The price is the life of that lost elf.”

Then the elf guards quickly descended from the wall. They realized that if they didn’t move, their lives would be in danger.

The guard captain finally opened his mouth and stated, “There is no history of bringing humans into Meong, Raccoon. In addition, that orc is wanted by the league. Raccoon, even if it is you...”

Bringing humans into the city of the league and accepting the orc who killed the child of the elf great tribe chief back into the league...

It wasn’t something he, as the elf guard captain, felt was acceptable.

“It is none of your business. One concession is enough. If there is a problem, tell him to come to me in person. I’m ready at any time.” Raccoon laughed. His two sharp canines seemed to shine uniquely.

Hyeonu, the Pioneer Guild, and Ikta succeeded in entering the interior of Meong, the fortress city of the League of Different Species. The unexpected emergence of Raccoon shattered everything Hyeonu had planned in advance, but the result was overwhelmingly better than his other plan.

[The title ‘First Visitor to the League of Different Species’ has been created.]

[First Visitor to the League of Different Species]

[A title given to the first player to visit the League of Different Species.

Effect: Attack power and movement speed are increased by 5%.]

“A title has been created, Alley Leader.”

“The effect is good. Maybe because it is a ‘first’ title.”

The Pioneer Guild members saw the message window in front of them and quickly came to Hyeonu’s side.

“Yes, I like the title,” Hyeonu answered with a smile. It was really good.

Attack power and movement speed—they were a must-have for melee classes. The higher they were, the better.

‘By the way, Raccoon sent out Ikta himself... Is it okay to bring Ikta in like this?” Hyeonu couldn’t hide his worries when he saw Raccoon in the distance. He wasn’t worried about Raccoon. The problem was that Hyeonu, the Pioneer Guild, and Ikta would be affected by the aftermath.

‘Should I do some politics first?’

Hyeonu had heard the reason why Ikta was kicked out. The problem was obviously the dark elf who had disappeared. However, the dark elves didn’t take any responsibility, and the elves and orcs were the ones who suffered the damage.

‘Yes, let’s play politics with that diary.’

Hyeonu recalled the existence of a diary in one corner of his inventory.

‘It was written that a revolution will take place.’

Revolution—it was a provocative word. There was nothing better than this to blind the people in power.

Hyeonu smiled and called out to Raccoon, “Raccoon, I have a present for you. It is a gift that might have something to do with the fool I brought in.”

“You’ve changed a lot since we’ve seen each other. No, were you originally like this? It is very unusual in many ways.” Raccoon laughed at Hyeonu’s appearance that he had never seen before.

Hyeonu’s current appearance was very interesting.

“You have to see it for yourself. It was really hard for me to obtain it.” Hyeonu pulled out the diary of Yulis, the chief of the High Wind tribe, from his inventory and presented it very carefully to Raccoon.

“A book? This is a gift? This...” Raccoon saw the book Hyeonu held out, and his expression distorted. He had a blatant expression of disappointment. He didn’t even try to hide it; his honesty was excessive.

“You’ll know when you read it. Just... prepare your heart. I recommend you take a deep breath. Now, follow me.” Hyeonu repeatedly breathed in and out in front of Raccoon.

“Stop doing ridiculous things. You won’t get the reaction you want no matter what is written here.” Raccoon snorted. On the other hand, he felt some expectation about how shocking the book that Hyeonu gave him would be.

“Dakan, you must stop Raccoon. Understood?” Hyeonu called out to Dakan the moment he confirmed Raccoon opening the diary. The only one here who could control Raccoon was Dakan.

“I don’t know what you mean, but... if there is something I can do, I will do it.” Dakan nodded gladly.

Stopping Raccoon wasn’t difficult. It was something he did from time to time after all. Raccoon’s expression changed occasionally as he read the diary that Hyeonu handed him. His initially indifferent expression changed to volcanic rage at some point.

The moment Raccoon expressed his anger, intense fighting energy erupted from his body. It was dense fighting energy that couldn’t be compared to Hyeonu’s and Ikta’s fighting energies. No, it was so powerful that it was embarrassing to compare theirs to his.

This fighting energy started to cover Meong as a flowing red fog. It didn’t matter if they had more than a certain amount of strength, such as Hyeonu or Dakan. However, those who didn’t have that strength grabbed their chests and collapsed to the ground.

“Brother, endure it. You have to hold it in. Endure it if you don’t want to blow up the fortress.” Dakan stopped Raccoon. At the same time, he felt somewhat surprised at Hyeonu.

‘He might look moody, but he doesn’t have that type of personality...’ Hyeonu thought. Raccoon’s extremely advanced intuition ignored a certain level of stimuli. It was very rare for him to react like this.

“Yes, endure... Endure it for a while. Just a while,” Dakan said.

Raccoon withdrew his fighting energy. The red fog that covered Meong disappeared.

“What is written in this?” Dakan asked.

Raccoon didn’t give a verbal answer and instead threw Yulis’ diary at him. Dakan received Yulis’ diary and read it quickly. Then like Raccoon, Dakan was unable to contain his agitation. “These jerks are now... What are you going to do, Brother? There is no axe.”

Dakan was many times worse than Raccoon. He didn’t release fighting energy like Raccoon, but it seemed like he would grab an axe and search for the dark elves right away.

This time, Raccoon stopped Dakan. “Endure it. Don’t do it here. This anger will erupt in Viper, not Meong.”

Dakan still couldn’t hide his anger. “Of course. I’m annoyed that you’ve been trying to please him. That child’s words were right. I’m going to turn everything upside down. This guy and that guy will all kneel down.”

Yulis’ diary was this shocking.

Ket, who was standing blankly at the sudden development of the situation, approached and asked Hyeonu, “Why are they acting like that, Alley Leader?”

“I set a fire. As expected, isn’t it most interesting to watch a fight? It will burn vigorously. Vigorously.” Hyeonu grinned like a madman.

***

Watching a fight was the most interesting thing to do. He thought that someone else’s house was on fire, but once he found out his own house was on fire, he felt despair beyond embarrassment.

“What does that mean? A trip?” Hyeonu, who was eating without any thought, spat out grains of rice at Yeongchan’s sudden bombshell remark.

“A trip is a trip. What do you think it is?” Yeongchan replied while flicking the grains of rice stuck to his chest at Hyeonu.

“What about streaming? Have you told others?”

“The notice has already been posted. I told my parents. I’ve told everyone except you.”

Hyeonu couldn’t say anything at Yeongchan’s answer. His lips were numb. It was too sudden.

“Where are you going?”

“Here and there. I’m going to Southeast Asia, Europe, and the United States. It will be for around one month?”

“Aren’t you going to too many places at once? I can’t trust you. You will definitely have problems. Just go for four nights and five days. You can’t rest for too long. You have to work harder when things are going well.” Hyeonus shook his head at Yeongchan’s answer as if he was dreaming about traveling around the world. He continued to persuade Yeongchan in order to reduce Yeongchan’s itinerary.

“It’s fine. I’m not going alone. So you should work hard on streaming.” Yeongchan was still resolute. All his preparations were already complete, and all his luggage was packed. His preparations were so perfect that he managed to fit everything he needed in a suitcase.

“You’re not going alone? Who are you going with?”

“Just friends.”

“What about me?”

“You are busy.”

“Why didn’t you ask me at least once?” Hyeonu exuded a sense of sadness.

“No, I’m going to ask you now? Will you go? We are leaving next Tuesday,” Yeongchan asked as if he had anticipated such a response.

“Uh...” Hyeonu was speechless. He couldn’t give an answer when he heard the suggestion.

After hesitating for a moment, Hyeonu yelled at Yeongchan before disappearing into his room: “I’m going on a trip but not with you, you jerk.”

Anyone could tell he was sulking.

“Eat everything before going.” Yeongchan, who was left alone, started to clean up the rice that Hyeonu had left behind.
