Chapter 90: Blooming in the Swamp (7)
[Pentagram of Pure Knowledge]
[Grade: Epic]
[Restriction: None]
[Effect: When equipped, acquires knowledge of all minerals and plants in the Arcana continent.]
[Description: A magic tool containing immeasurably vast knowledge.]
The status window said knowledge of all minerals.
That wasnt a rock.
The status window also said knowledge of all plants.
It was a seed, and it was the seed of the World Tree.
Yes, the World Tree was an entity that even the forest spirit nymphs didnt know about.
If there were words about the World Tree written in books.
I wouldnt have easily trusted that information.
But an epic item wasnt graded epic for no reason.
Item effects dont lie.
The loot wasnt rock or anything.
It was the seed of the World Tree.
When I found out the truth, these were my first words.
It seems that the crisis of extinction has truly arrived on the continent.
The nymph politely asked back.
Hoyeol-nim. Since I am lacking, what do those words mean.
It was only natural that she didnt know.
I wouldnt have guessed if it wasnt for the item effect.
Even if I had known that the World Tree existed on the Arcana continent. Who knew that the World Tree would sow seeds like this?
Its not that youre lacking.
Of course, I knew the reason.
The fact that the World Tree sowed seeds.
It meant that the World Tree was under a huge threat.
Of course, the threat was referring to the demons.
This knowledge was the knowledge of the demon until recently.
The demons item.
It was an item acquired from Demon King Decarabia.
Decarabia, he must have had items related to all minerals and plants like I was now. He must have also known information about the World Tree.
Did he use that information to threaten the World Tree?
Of course, until I had the detailed story.
There was no way I would know.
It happened in the Arcana continent of the past.
How could I know in the reality?
But what I would do after learning about it was simple.
[World Quest: Seed of the World Tree]
The crisis of extinction of the Arcana continent has arrived.
In the midst of the great crisis.
Give birth to new hope.
Germinate the seed of the World Tree. (In Progress)
A quest appeared.
A world quest clear, at that.
Suddenly, I recalled the fuss of the players.
A message that popped up in front of all the players.
It must be a world-class quest.
Whoever it was, it was clear that the world-class quest had been successful.
Because everyone said so.
I just knew that.
But looking at the quest window that appeared, I realized it.
There was really a world-class quest!
From that scale, it was truly world-class.
Just look at the story.
The World Tree, which was called the mother of the continent, was in crisis, and in such a world-class crisis, I had to sprout a new hope, the seed of the World Tree!
But As I said, I was great at knowing my place.
Isnt this too early?
My level to handle this world-class quest was only level 324.
Wouldnt the world lament?
Why is this newbie the one who sprouts its seed?
Yeah, lets consider the general situation.
The moment I realized that it was the seed of the World Tree, the quest appeared. Specific information about the World Tree must be the starting condition of the quest.
Wait, that doesnt make sense from the start, does it?
As I said.
Even the forest spirit nymph was ignorant about the World Tree.
Would it be different for the Mage Tower?
Id been reading a lot of magic books.
Id never seen the word World Tree.
But the players.
How could we get information about the mysterious World Tree?
Even if I wasnt good at this, shouldnt I get at least level 1,000?
Sincerely.
So to sum it up in one line.
It meant that I was out of the standard quest progression.
The defeat of Demon King Decarabia.
Thanks to obtaining the [Pentagram of Pure Knowledge].
I skipped that huge intermediate step.
I was able to start a world-class quest!
It wouldnt be weird to feel pressured.
If you had a normal mindset, youd naturally feel worried.
And youd agonize, Do I deserve to succeed in this world quest?
However.
Since when had I been thinking and acting normally.
Greed of Seven Deadly Sins.
Demon King Decarabia.
Mage Towers demon-worshiper elder mages.
I hadnt even reached level 300.
Even when I was only at level 100 or 200.
I just acted as my pride led me.
Thats why I could tell.
Even if it meant sinking in that pride and drowning.
I had no choice but to move forward.
In addition.
Time waits for no one.
I had witnessed the Arcana continent.
Arcana continent was being trampled by the demons.
The probability of demons just watching until the seeds of World Tree sprout?
Even more than when Demon King Decarabia existed.
I couldnt even hope for the slightest possibility.
So I continued brazenly.
Also, I cannot take your pride lightly. World Tree.
My speech shook the nymph.
If youre talking about the World Tree No way, the seed?
Fortunately, she wasnt agitated by my cringy tone.
Anyway.
The nymph seemed to have realized everything.
I finally understand. The reason why so many people covet the rock, the seed. It must be instinct. The seed of the World Tree contains energy that I dare not express.
The World Tree is real
The nymphs words halted.
Because of mythe contractorsinfluence, she was a nymph whose lofty figure didnt waver.
So what to do with that huge seed of the World Tree? She seemed deeply concerned.
In short, she feels the same way as me.
Grandfels pride was overwhelming enough.
I couldnt believe I had to take on the pride of the World Tree.
But unlike the nymph, I didnt hesitate.
Get ready. Nymph.
I was great at knowing my place.
Even if I had to struggle again, I was confident.
Even if there were no means or methods.
I was confident that I wouldnt sink because of my pride.
I need your blessing to sprout the seed.
After all, it was a plant, even if it was the great World Tree.
Just like how I was able to grasp information about it through the [Pentagram of Pure Knowledge] because it was a plant.
The effects of the nymphs blessing in advancing plant growth would also be effective.
I bless the seed of the World Tree?
As expected, the nymph seemed to be very flustered.
However, she soon answered in a calm voice.
It would have been impossible if I were alone. Since Hoyeol-nim is here, I will try.
Alright.
Whether the blessing would work or not, I would have to struggle.
Before that, of course.
I need to put an end to the commotion.
Predators Swamp.
The center of the fiercest battle.
The problem was getting to the seed of the World Tree by breaking through the obstruction of wild predators.
I cant afford it.
I rolled my brain coldly.
The blessing wasnt for a bi-herb but for the seed of the World Tree.
The rebound will come not only to the nymph, but also to me, the contractor.
It wouldnt be strange if I fell into a state of mana exhaustion right away.
My understanding of my place was amazing.
I was the one who dug holes in my flesh with swordsmanship and black magic in preparation for mana exhaustion, but
The opponent should be that opponent.
It might be different if [Natural Enemy Relationship] is activated.
If not, dealing with one monster would be difficult.
!
However, monsters were not the only ones struggling.
Because there were players here.
Among them, I saw some familiar faces
No, I saw some regrettable relationships.
Theres a give and take in everything.
Yeah, it was almost my turn to be on the receiving end again, right?
I really have an iron plate on my face. Several layers, at that.
Were those familiar faces and connections normal people?
Basically, they were all rankers and top guild masters.
I spoke to them.
We need cooperation.
Not help but cooperation!
But to be humble now.
Well, Ive summoned the senior mages of the Mage Tower as I please.
Unfortunately.
Id experienced too many things
*
Reaching the center of the Predators Swamp.
The first thing he saw was a huge rock.
And monsters fighting over the rock.
!
But there was something else that caught his attention more intensely than anything else.
It was Hoyeol standing upright on top of the swamp.
Hoyeol-ssi, youre walking on water now?
Homen was really Homen?
Gaons guild members said to Nam Taemin, who was shocked.
Taemin hyung. Look closely. Hes riding on a lotus leaf.
Ah, is that so? But thats also?
Wait a minute. Is that the spirit next to him?
Indeed, she had the appearance worthy of being called Hoyeols spirit.
Needless to say.
According to what had been said.
It was clear that the spirit was at least the highest ranking.
Isnt it a relief?
?
When I look at her, she doesnt look much different from unnie.
Which part didnt look much different?
What, is it the face?
Leonie looked up and saw the crazy bastard comparing their heights with her fingers All right, she didnt even have the energy to talk. Leonie stepped on her foot instead of answering.
Hit!
Oh, unnie!! Its a joke. A joke.
At that moment.
She heard a loud voice.
We need cooperation.
!!!
A high-ranked skill, [Telepathy].
Hoyeols voice sounded like it was right next to her.
Leonie was startled for a moment.
Y-You are too close. So suddenly?!
Even though she knew it was telepathy.
This sense of distance from Hoyeol was unfamiliar.
Leonie. You, this is a delusion.
But Leonie immediately came to her senses.
He needs cooperation?
She didnt know what kind of cooperation he wanted, but.
This was a chance to pay off her debts to Hoyeol!
Yeah, shed been waiting for this day.
Regardless of her personal feelings.
That doesnt mean I have any particular feelings though.
Yeah, thats all!
Aside from getting a cup of tea!
The debt to Hoyeol was a guild-level problem!
Also as the master of the Berserker Guild.
Naturally, she had no choice but to respond to Hoyeols request for cooperation.
Leonie didnt hesitate.
And she ran into them.
Huh, you too?
What? That combination doesnt fit.
Well.
Nam Taemin.
Hisagi Kazuma.
And all guild members of Gaon and Inazuma.
Gaon, be it as it may.
Gaon was indebted to Hoyeol just like she was.
Also, Nam Taemin seemed to have the same nationality as Hoyeol, as well as a close friendship.
It was understandable.
But whats with Inazuma and Hisagi Kazuma?
Gaon and Inazuma?
No matter how you thought about it, it was a combination that didnt make sense.
One of the people involved, Leonie, thought the same.
Not to mention the third parties who were watching.
The studio.
What is this?
The cast members blinked at the screen that popped up.
They thought theyd seen it wrong.
The host slowly recited their impressions.
That reliable figure. He is a South Korean player, Nam Taemin. And next to him is Leonie Bellucci of Berserker who has had a lot of contact with Gaon recently. And
No matter how many times he cleared up his eyes and saw it again, it was certain.
The spear hes holding. And that sharp impression Hes definitely the Guild Master of Inazuma, Hisagi Kazuma!
Hisagi Kazuma of Inazuma.
Why did they drag out so long just to say his name?
If anyone asked.
They needed to bring up the terrible relationship between Gaon and Inazuma.
From the time Arcana was a game until after the Cataclysm.
The two guilds, the two guild masters growled at each other so much that there were fewer days when they didnt collide. So they couldnt help but doubt their eyes at the screen that popped up.
First of all, they dont seem to be in a feud?
Gaon, Inazuma, and Berserker.
The three guilds were gathered together.
In the predator zone where the battles never ended even at this moment.
If they werent at a war of nerves, what it meant was simple.
D-Does it mean that Gaon and Inazuma are holding hands?
That seems to be the case. And the Berserker Guild, too!
Theyre not guilds that join forces without a good reason. Theyre big guilds that dont lack anything. Moreover, Gaon and Inazuma. Considering the conflict between the two guilds, this cant be possible!!
Oh, wait a minute. At this moment, it seems Player Lee Hoyeol has appeared! Silver hair, shoes, suits, and a spirit. From that description, its definitely Player Lee Hoyeol!
Lee Hoyeol? Wait, could it be? The reason Gaon, Inazuma, and Berserker Guild are joining hands?
Indeed.
Soon, the sight that captured peoples attention began to unfold.
