Episode 239
62. How to nurture a clumsy Artel (3)
“What?”
“listen carefully. I can’t be with you forever. If it weren’t for me, wouldn’t you do anything then?”
At my words, all the members kept their mouths shut.
“You guys are strong, but strength and insight are two different things. I think anyone here who can take the situation seriously and act… … .”
I said, pointing my finger at Soyoung.
“I think there is only one Soyoung.”
The Illuminati’s only staff.
Although it may not be said that she is weak in empty words, compared to the other members, Soyoung’s level of power was relatively weak.
First of all, in close combat, monsters called Byron and Camilla are holding out.
Even if we go far, there is Lorna-senpai and Illyana.
But what if it’s only in terms of leadership?
I have experienced countless incidents that could not be resolved by mere force alone.
Even in the battle against Amodea, which is now completely assimilated.
If I hadn’t set up an appropriate strategy, it would have been an annihilation for Frederick, the first-tier manager.
The current Illuminati depend too much on me.
As the force has now risen to a certain level,
It was necessary to evenly develop other abilities as well.
“Now, besides Soyoung, you should be able to judge the situation on your own and deal with it. You were like that last time at Mary Celeste, right? I can’t always give you directions and go.”
“Oh, thank you, Sanwoo-sama… … . That’s an undeserved compliment.”
Soyoung is a little embarrassed by the random floating, and bows her head.
“No, Sanwoo is right. Soyoung, you always looked good.”
Even Camilla started supporting fire. Because Soyoung’s judgment was at a level that everyone recognized.
It’s like the power of Byron.
It’s not that I’m calling you a staff chief for nothing.
“So, in the end, this is the goal and condition of this convocation.”
I re-emphasized by tapping and hitting the blackboard.
“After forming a team, we should come up with a rough strategy.”
in short.
It was an Illuminati-style group assignment.
Of course, an evaluation professor?
“After that, I’ll let you evaluate each group’s strategy.”
I want to become Professor Baek San-woo.
Well, take it once. Sweethearts!
* * *
Two days after the first meeting.
The Illuminati gathered in a hut near Breath of the World Tree as always today.
The purpose is to review the dungeon raid plan to be carried out over the weekend.
Together with Illyana Noel, they airlifted unused podiums and folding chairs from Breath of the World Tree, and decorated the cabin so that it felt like a presentation.
“Didn’t you say the captains were Camilla and George?”
“Right.”
It’s not that I didn’t decide on anything else, but it was said that it was decided neatly with rock-paper-scissors.
The dungeon in charge of Camilane Joe’s is the Raid Dragon’s Nest.
The dungeon that Georgian Joe is in charge of is Atlanta.
If we look at the other conditions, George took Taehoon and Soyoung.
Camilla, Byron, and finally Lorna are tied together.
Of course, as a 3:3 member, you won’t be able to break through Nabe’s ‘Dream Garden 1st Floor’, let alone attack the dungeon.
Additional conditions were also given to each group.
First of all, the attack of Atlanta was planned to be attended by personnel from the information guild and the hunting guild.
As it is similar to other dungeons, it would be more correct to increase the number of players than to focus on firepower.
And in the dragon’s nest.
Amodea and other dream horses were assigned as special assistance.
The owner of the nest, the Goryong Helag, has a different power from the Toryong that I had dealt with with Aidan before.
Unlike Toryong, whose attack pattern was only head-butting.
He also knows how to use various magics, including Poison Breath, which contains deadly poison.
The fact that the composition of the members was decided like that was unavoidable.
Because he was the most powerful 3rd commander among the forces the Illuminati could mobilize.
‘Initially, it is normal to farm Starburst, which is Atlanta’s reward, in the second year, and Kakutsuchi at the beginning of the third year.’
“Sanwoo, but why did you leave me out?”
As I gaze contentedly at the view of the hut that has been converted into a presentation hall.
asked Illyana, who was standing next to her.
“Oh, that’s it.”
I’m not going to do anything?
That doesn’t mean you can’t just watch Chapters 4 and 5, which have been skipped.
Even though the scenario has crossed the water, the places related to the scenario still remain.
“There are a few places Aidan and I should go together.”
In other words, the root of life.
It was a special dungeon that could be entered through the root of the world tree, which forms the breath of the world tree.
The qualification to enter the dungeon must be challenged by the hero and Artel, who inherited noble blood.
Originally, Ishtar had to accompany him, but… … The problem was that Ishtar had no contact with Aidan at all.
As the scenario progressed, Ainda and Ishtar should have slowly built up their popularity.
Due to the aftermath of what I’ve done in the past, Artel has opened up to humans without Aidan’s intervention.
Naturally, the relationship between the two fell apart.
That’s why I wanted to get closer while working on the Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 scenarios.
Even that had failed, so I had no choice but to take Illyana instead of Ishtar.
Because she was also one of the noble Artel of the El clan.
“okay… … ? Where?”
“It is the root of the world tree. If it’s Illyana, don’t you know?”
“Aha.”
I knew that Illyana was the Artel who managed the place.
At the beginning of last year, I infiltrated the root of the World Tree to obtain the Fruit of Life.
At that time, I was sneaking out with the life lesson and got caught by Illyana.
It’s a memory.
“Are you talking about Freya-sama’s hall?”
“Right. We need the ‘Palace of Life’ that lies beneath it.”
As Aidan Christopher chose the Ortana undergraduate route, his magic handling skills are top-notch.
Swordsmanship was also getting stronger with the corrections of Bernax and Byron.
As for the spear, the javelin was taught by me, and the general spear by Camilla.
But still only one.
If there was anything lacking, it would be archery.
Although it tends to be relatively weak compared to magic and swords.
Originally, the most deceptive training method in Paradise Academia was the stealth archery route.
Together with the ‘Hawkeye’ that Professor Helen Merses of the Arin Faculty showed last time.
If you combine the passive skill called ‘Reaper’, which can be obtained by clearing the Epic Quest that is naturally performed as you progress through the Arin Faculty.
When stealthed, you will have a wacky stat of 500% critical attack power.
Even if you don’t do stealth archers.
Because Hawkeye was an essential passive for Aidan.
Like it or not, it must be taken.
why, what is that
Didn’t the Dual Swordsman of a certain animated series come out as an ‘Archer’ class?
There is nothing that cannot be called Aidan.
“The Palace of Life.”
Illyana chanted the name.
As a priest, she knew Artel myths and prophecies as keenly as Ishtar.
“That’s Artel’s national treasure. However, it is also a gift from the hero, Triston, by the mother of the country, Freya.”
“Now is the time to give it back.”
“So you need me.”
Illyana simply nodded.
She knew exactly what the weapons were sealed in Freyja’s halls and what the story was about them.
“When you have to give back what Sanwoo said. The hero is back, of course.”
“So we don’t have to devise a strategy, right? It’s not even a dungeon.”
“Yes.”
The Halls know that only trivial traps need to be avoided.
Since Freya was playful in her life, escape the maze she made herself just before sublimation and it’s over.
It is a place where the influence of the sacred world tree has been reached, and the power of the powerful mother of Artel remains.
There are no monsters, so you can just go for a walk and come back.
Of course, with Aidan Christopher.
“I told Aidan beforehand. I have a place to go this weekend.”
“I’ll prepare it too.”
Illyana replied with a bright smile.
Just then, a loud noise began to be heard outside the hut.
“Are you going to tell Sanwoo first?”
“No, too reckless!”
“Byron, are you saying that with your mouth… … ?”
The sweetest voices I hear anytime.
I opened the hut door wide and welcomed my precious friends.
* * *
“Therefore, we are requesting the purchase of an aqua-breathing artifact for attacking Atlanta, and an aqua walker that makes it easier to move around in the water area.”
“price is?”
“It is 4500 Kelly for a total of 15 people.”
“Okay permission. As for finances, can I combine it with other basic potions to make a total of 6,000 Kelly?”
“Hey, do you have any sense?”
After finishing his presentation, George chuckled and gave a thumbs up.
From operational objectives and outlines, detailed briefings to budget billing.
It was Georgian Joe who showed a result that was close to the standard of the presentation. These kids have to practice a bit.
“But haven’t you checked the street prices in the back alleys? The children I take in the first place are also the children of the back alleys.”
“They don’t even believe in the quality of their contraband? The quality of the items that come in after the smuggling guild goes down is on the verge of being destroyed.”
“Wow… … I can’t help it, that’s it.”
I scratched the back of my head.
As I said last time, the back alley is currently under reconstruction.
A lot of manpower disappeared due to the civil war, and the system had to be reorganized from the existing three-strong structure to the two-strong structure.
In the process, external pressure and playfulness must be tolerated to some extent.
“Then Georgia will pass. Next, come up Camilla.”
“Nice to meet you, Carr, this is Camilla Joe’s Captain Camilla Lily.”
As if this feeling was too awkward, Camilla came forward crawling.
“Then I will show you the prepared materials.”
chuck.
Camilla sticks a large piece of paper on the blackboard.
[Goryong Helag Subjugation Plan]
“Before proceeding, let me explain about the Goryong Helag… … .”
Camila soon shakes off the awkwardness and starts presenting.
The content conveyed in a clear, clear voice is engraved in the mind.
The composition of personnel, the camp to be formed when the raid is put in, and the response plan for each variable, etc.
Like the head of a family, it was Camilla who knew how to efficiently deploy personnel.
Even how to use the monsters, including Amodea and Nabe, was carefully crafted.
“Okay, this concludes the presentation.”
The budget was all about antidote and detox artifacts to resist the poisonous poison, the main specialty of the Goryong Helag.
Well-prepared content in a compact way.
I gave Camila a round of applause. Byron also cries and cries and gives a standing ovation.
“I’ll pass this on to Nabe in advance, or will you, Camila, tell me?”
“Because we have to run raids together. Perhaps it would be better for me to say it myself.”
“Okay, then, let’s talk with Nabe later.”
I got up from my seat and looked at the Illuminati members who had gathered.
“It hasn’t been long since I gave the order to disband, but I’m sorry once again for entrusting you with this work. But it’s unavoidable. know?”
“I understand.”
“Sanwoo-sama has a reason for everything. We always believe!”
As always, Taehoon and Soyoung are uplifting me.
“Then let’s see everyone safely and successfully on the weekend. Chairman Baek San-woo shoots him wildly!!”
“Wow-!!”
He showed his sincerity for the hard work he had done so far, and flexed according to each number of people.
I’ll tell you after the weekend… … .
“This meeting ends here! Both groups pass!”
After the formation of the Illuminati, for the first time in history, an expedition in which I did not participate began.
