skill was created. It seems that the previous one has also been recognized as a real battle.
Leona came to his side and asked softly.
“What the hell was that…? Aren’t you really hiding your S-rate skill?”
“…It’s a new skill I got this time, but it’s A-rate.”
“Whoa, whoa… A rate…”
I admired and envied Leona when she said that she had an A-rate skill.
Citizens were also very upset.
They, too, knew the details. The fight between Lord Amasbin and the World Tree was famous.
But, I never thought that the world tree would have such precipitation.
“Wow… As expected, the world tree… just pushes this away. The level of the highest guild in Korea is not going anywhere…”
“No, more than that… Sah, can a human do that?”
“That’s an apostle, a corps commander… I can’t believe it even when I see it with my own eyes…”
Do-yoon’s majesty was comparable to that of a warrior or a corps commander, no, more than that. Even with them, it was next to impossible for them to destroy the gates of the fortress in one blow.
In reality, it was because of the uniqueness of Doyoon’s skills, but those who did not know the details only thought that he was the highest level apostle on par with a hero.
“I think I know who it is! The hidden claw of the World Tree, who was said to have prevented the attack on Locken Mayer alone! He must be!”
People shuddered at the hidden power of the World Tree.
Until now, it was evaluated as the strongest guild in the country, but I would have thought it was hiding an apostle worthy of a hero.
Indeed, it was a skill worthy of a guild leader from the Great Warriors Guild 100 years ago.
“If Master Brudet was an apostle from another country, would that apostle be a hero in our country?”
At someone’s remark, the gaze was again focused on him.
Although the name was unknown, the reputation of ‘the hidden claw of the world tree’ was constantly rising.

A ceremonial meeting is held once a month in the World Tree Conference Room.
The high-ranking apostles that can be said to constitute the center of the world tree. All of them gather to think about the future direction of the world tree and reflect on the mistakes of the past.
And even today, when Leona’s team left the mission, the meeting continued in the conference room without a doubt.
“Thanks to Apostle Doyoon Han, the guild’s financial situation has improved dramatically. If this is enough, I can apply it to the Skeletonian royal treasury.”
“I don’t think we need to dispose of Roosevolnik’s remains right away.”
“As time passes, the value of the ruins will increase, so we will keep them. Administrative costs…”
The main topic of the day was ‘disposal of Roosevolnik’s remains’.
Anything related to Enoch Roosevolnik is considered the best in any field.
Especially, it is the legacy he left behind himself. This was something that experts in all fields, including history, art and tourism, would have drool over.
It has been a long time since the richest people on the continent started fighting among themselves. As always, the collections related to ‘Loose Volnik’ are by far the most valuable among all collectibles.
Even if it was just handed over to them without complicating things, the World Tree would be able to reap huge profits.
And, in the process, a connection with the World Tree may be formed.
Of course, this was something that Doyoon also agreed to.
“For now, I only make a gesture to dispose of it, and make a connection with the characters of the continent. They’re already full of…”
smart smart
During the meeting, a knock was heard at the door.
The guild member who was speaking frowned. It was an important meeting where all the elders of the guild gathered, but to think they were interrupting it like this.
“Come on in.”
Eloa gave permission, and the guild’s messenger came in and bowed.
“What happened?”
“That… it’s not urgent, but the liaison officer is in a meeting right now, so it might be a good idea…”
The guild members tilted their heads. Are you saying that something has happened that requires a meeting?
“Tell me.”
“…The gates of Amasvin Fortress have collapsed.”
“Yes?”
Everyone’s eyes widened.
The castle gate collapsed, what kind of sound was this knocking on a baton while sleeping?
“What is the cause? is it a raid? Or… an earthquake?”
“That, that…”
He hesitated for a moment as he looked at the paper containing the message the errand boy had to convey. He, too, knows that what is written on the paper is so absurd.
‘Now, did I write it wrong? Can I just say this?’
You interrupted the meeting of high-ranking people with bullshit, isn’t it sparking?
However, in the eyes of the guild members who seemed to be urging him, he finally opened his mouth.
“Ha, Apostle Han Do-yoon… destroyed it…”
“…?”
This time, Eloah also frowned.
“Well, it’s really written that way! ‘The gates of Amasvin Fortress have collapsed. The cause is a technical experiment by Apostle Han Do-yoon of the team or Leona, who went on a mission.’ I-I really just read it verbatim!”
“…Yes?”
It took them quite some time to figure out the situation.

The meeting was briefly interrupted, and the video evidence airlifted from the liaison officer was played in the conference room.
It was a 24-hour operating video recording seat that filmed the central road of the city, including the city gate, from inside the city of Amasbin.
Inside the city, which is alive with festivals. It was an ordinary sight.
But after a while, cracks spread all over the huge gate that was over 10m high.
[Wow-!]
Soon, the gate collapsed with a huge shockwave that seemed to hit outside.
And in the center, Han Do-yoon with a bewildered expression was standing with his palms out.
“…”
“…”
“crazy…”
Someone muttered quietly.
Even after the video stopped, the meeting room was just quiet.
Millaine rubbed her eyes and checked the video again. It was such an unreal sight.
After a while, one guild member opened his mouth.
“…I heard from the person in charge of the training center, that a few days ago, Apostle Han Do-yoon rented an entire training center, saying, ‘I will learn new techniques from Dok-go Moo-young.’”
All eyes turned to him.
“The liaison officer’s memo said ‘Skills test for Apostle Han Do-yoon’, so maybe that’s not the case…”
“Master Uncle taught you the technique?”
“yes. He said that Dokgo Moo-young went into the training ground with him.”
There was a quiet admiration in the conference room.
My God, to learn the technique from Dokgo Moo-young! It was proof that Dokgo Moo-yeong treats Han Do-yoon very sincerely.
However, someone felt strange and asked him.
“Then, shouldn’t Dokgo Moo-young be able to do that?”
“Yeah, that’s me too…”
The person who spoke was also dubious about my thoughts and sweated.
That was a correct point. To destroy the gates in one blow. This is impossible even for a warrior. If it was Seongwang, a master of martial arts level 10, I wouldn’t know.
Of course, Dokgo Moo-young himself couldn’t show such prestige.
“But with so much evidence…”
“…”
At those words, the guild members who had asked the question were silent again.
Anyway, this was reality.
I don’t know how he did it, but apparently Doyoon Han broke down the gate with that ‘new technology’.
After a while, Millaine broke the silence and spoke.
“It doesn’t matter how you did it. The ripple effect of the divine power shown by the apostle Han Do-yoon. And how we should support him, and what benefits he will create for the guild. Let’s think about it.”
Everyone nodded. Right now, when I was in the middle of a meeting, was the right time.
Eloah also agreed.
“For more information on technology, I will contact Dokgo Moo-young and ask.”
“First of all… Apostle Han Do-yoon can become more than a hero depending on the battlefield.”
“It’s a one-man siege weapon, so to speak.”
siege warfare. It was one of the types of warfare that all armies were most reluctant to do.
Attack opponents defending the castle walls. This is really difficult.
In order to capture a great fortress, you basically need an army that is three times the size of the enemy.
In addition, it maximizes the damage of allies, but it is difficult to force damage to the enemy.
In addition, most of them lead to long-term battles with no promise, and in some cases, it takes more than a year to capture.
However, in such a battlefield, an apostle who can destroy the castle gate in one blow appears?
That, literally, must have been more precious power than the hero.
“It’s still too early to make a hasty decision. Is it a technique that can be used without preparatory movements and without aftereffects? I’m not sure if it’s really a skill that can be used on the battlefield. We need more data.”
“As soon as Apostle Han Do-yoon returns, we should talk about it and collect more data.”
“Coincidentally, Apostle Han Do-yoon has recently been showing interest in war rather than general expeditions.”
“Good for you. A battlefield inside the Holy Stone is suitable…”
The original meeting topic was put on the back burner.
They started a heated discussion about the value of Han Do-yoon and how to support Han Do-yoon.
