-Just go to the castle and enjoy yourself .
-Or let Tang-E magically blow away the house .
-Or blow it up yourself .
-Just let the city fly away!
“No, what are you saying now? You are just coming up with useless words . You can’t just say this because it isn’t your business . ”
Hyeonu laughed in a dumbfounded manner at the chat window . He was an idiot for asking . Clearly, he should’ve looked at who the other person was before asking .
‘They’re all ridiculous words . ’
Namju wasn’t a small city . In fact, it was one of the largest cities in the East Continent . It had a stable sense of security and a large flowing population . Now, the viewers were telling him to destroy a house and kill people in that city . It could be done, but everything would be over once he did it .
If Tang-E poured out all his magic power, blowing away a house wouldn’t be much of a feat at all . It would just fly away unless there were magical defenses around the house . The question was finding the official’s house and determining whether he was home . Basically, Hyeonu needed to make contact with Hu An .
‘The collective intelligence is a bunch of crap . . . More like collective fools . ’
“Is there anything else that is fresh and novel? I will give a special gift to anyone who mentions an innovative method . ”
In the end, Hyeonu had to throw out a carrot . It was because he had no ideas right now . He was empty just like the viewers .
‘How do I get closer?’
No clear method came to mind no matter how much he thought about it .
‘In any case, New World will do well . ’
There was no need to worry about the 20 people he gave to them . Hyeonu just had to think about the 30 he left for himself .
‘It would be easier if I could fight 1 against 30 . . . ’
His body might find it hard, but his mind would be really comfortable .
-Rewards? What will you give?
-Last time, he gave a rare item . Will he give a unique item this time?!
-This is the class of our Alley Leader .
-Of course, he will give a unique item . I believe in him .
“Ah, what if it is a unique item? Isn’t it really good?”
Hyeonu had unique-rated items that he didn’t wear—Dark Star and Crasul’s Curse . Crasul’s Curse was an item that couldn’t be worn by anyone except for Hyeonu . He could only wear Crasul’s Curse because he had cleared the mine spider’s lair and obtained the title ‘Ruler of the Spider Mine’ . The problem with this wasn’t in clearing the mine spider’s lair . It was just that the lair itself was difficult to find .
However, Hyeonu hadn’t even been looking for it . He’d found the location from a treasure map handed over to him by Herard, who was the general of Latus—a fortress near the Hejin Great Mountain Range .
‘I don’t know if someone else has that title . ’
Hyeonu pulled out a mask that looked exactly like the one he was wearing on his face . “I’ll bet this . ”
When the viewers saw it, they made a lot of noise . The mask in the image of a smiling child could be seen dozens or hundreds of times a day when they were connected to Arena . So it was absolutely not precious .
-What is this? It must be a joke . You can just go to the unified auction house and buy it for 1 gold .
-1 gold? Isn’t it 2 gold?
-I’d rather he send a handwritten autograph . What is this?
It was a natural reaction . This item was worth collecting, but no one knew it because there were so many replicas that looked the same .
“This is different from those useless masks . It is a unique-rated item . Do you see me as someone who picks up and wears anything?” Hyeonu spoke aggrievedly . He displayed the item information of the mask for viewers to see .
[Crasul’s Curse]
[A mask containing the grudge of Five Elements Spider Crasul . It feels sinister .
Rating: Unique
Restrictions: Ruler of the Spider Mine
Defense: 350
Effect: All stats + 50, ‘Curse of the Five Elements Spider’ can be used .
Curse of the Five Elements Spider: If the attack succeeds, randomly grants one of five curses to the target . Can be stacked up to five times (burning, freezing, petrification, binding, or bleeding) .
Duration: 5 minutes . ]
“Do you see it? Aren’t these ridiculous effects?”
-Amazing!!
-He is giving it away?
-Praise God Alley Leader!
-As expected, I didn’t forsake my faith!
At first glance, it was like a fantasy . There were a total of five CCs, and it could be repeated five times . The ‘all stats +50’ was also a great effect . Then there was the high defense too . It was a truly fraudulent item .
-By the way, how did he get that?
-Why is the wearing restriction like this?
-Isn’t that a title?
-Then it is a meaningless item?
Viewers who finally grasped the reality appeared . They realized the truth behind the unique items and excellent effects .
“Shouldn’t someone who wants to use it find a way to get the condition on their own? You can’t even match that?” Hyeonu spoke calmly .
The smiling mask was strangely fitting for this situation, and the viewers felt that Hyeonu’s words were very despicable .
-Wow, this is his real personality . . .
-I’d rather get it .
-Let’s get it and sell it . If it’s put up at auction, a rich collector will buy it .
-If it is an Alley Leader collectible item, then the price will rise . Just like with meleegod’s collection .
The viewers quickly changed their attitudes . It turned from using the item to selling it and buying items with that money .
“It doesn’t matter if you wear it or sell it . So just come up with ideas . I’ll pick the best one . ”
The moment Hyeonu’s words were over, the chat was flooded with messages . It was moving so fast that it was hard to follow with one’s eyes .
-Just kill him!!
-Cut his body using Crescent Moon Cut!
-If Tang-E burns him to death with lightning, people will think it is a natural disaster .
It was still a feast of unconventional methods . Hyeonu pressed a hand against his temple at the low quality chat . Just then, a comment came up that grabbed at Hyeonu .
-Isn’t there something like an inspector? Pretend to be an inspector from the imperial family, then kill him and run away .
‘Isn’t this okay?’
Hyeonu thought this opinion was pretty good . Of course, he didn’t know if there was really a position like an inspector of the Yuxin Empire, but it was worth talking about .
“I’ll give it to the person who just appeared in this chat . The user who said ‘Isn’t there something like an inspector?’, please email your ID and authentication to Nike after the stream is over . ”
-Is it already decided?
-Is it fake?
-It is too much to choose already .
-It smells like a fake .
-The fake is flying!
The viewers naturally suspected manipulation . It was because Hyeonu made his decision too quickly . Nevertheless, it couldn’t be helped . This was real .
“Then I will actively listen to the winning opinion and start the plan . ”
Hyeonu left these words with the viewers and disappeared from Namju .
***
After disappearing from Namju, Hyeonu appeared in Yuanyang . He came to find Liu Yongyun and ask about inspectors .
‘It is impossible to ask the emperor just about this matter . ’
It might look like he acted randomly, but Hyeonu still had some degree of propriety .
“Liu Yongyun, it’s been a long time . ” Hyeonu expressed his happiness everywhere except his face . After all, his face was covered with a mask, so he over-exaggerated his expression with the rest of his body .
“It has been a while, Earl . I heard from Your Majesty . You’re doing something about the secret department . ” Liu Yongyun welcomed Hyeonu . It was a sudden visit, but he wasn’t surprised . Instead, he asked about Hyeonu’s recent situation .
-The NPC he is just visiting is the imperial prince .
-Meanwhile, I go visit a local general goods store uncle . . .
-It feels too far away .
-Just do it . He already met the emperor . . .
-Almost all the information of senior NPCs are revealed here .
The viewers were amazed after seeing the actions of Alley Leader who recklessly visited an imperial prince without a prior appointment . They always felt it, but Alley Leader seemed to be playing a different game alone . It wasn’t the Arena they were playing but something else .
Hyeonu slowly answered Liu Yongyun’s question, “It is working out better than I thought . It seems like it won’t take long for the Gucheon Secret Department to return to the imperial family . ”
“Then I’m glad . Sure enough, my eyes aren’t wrong . The earl is a competent man . ”
“I do have one question to ask . ” Hyeonu pulled out the reason why he came . He was currently streaming, so it was necessary to speed up the progress .
“I will answer if I know it as long as it doesn’t harm the imperial family . ”
“I don’t want that . I’m just thinking of playing a little prank . Does the Yuxin Empire have a position similar to an inspector? Something that can limit the authority of local nobles . . . ”
Upon hearing Hyeonu’s words, Liu Yongyun’s expression stiffened for a moment . He seemed to be thinking of something . After a while, Liu Yongyun’s expression relaxed as he said, “There is an inspector . It might be a nominal position, but it is certainly there . There is a system where inspectors travel around the continent every 10 years . Come to think of it, no inspectors have been appointed recently . ”
This was naturally a good thing for Hyeonu . There was actually such a system, and he could use it appropriately .
“Thank you . I’m going to tell you first . My colleagues and I will cut off the eyes and ears of the Gucheon Secret Department . Then new eyes and ears will grow for the new master . ”
“!!!” Liu Yongyun’s face was filled with shock . His eyes widened, and he stared at Hyeonu with a blank face . He was so surprised that he couldn’t speak properly .
Hyeonu continued to speak to Liu Yongyun: “This is the beginning . After that, we will cut off the hands and feet of the Gucheon Secret Department and eventually change the head . At that time, the master of the Gucheon Secret Department will change . ”
It wasn’t known who he was talking to now . Was he talking to Liu Yongyun or the viewers? Or was Hyeonu talking to himself?
“The results are fixed . The important thing is that in the process, I will get my revenge . In fact, that's the most important thing to me . Changing the master of the Gucheon Secret Department is just a secondary matter,” Hyeonu stated coldly .
For a moment, the space containing Hyeonu and Liu Yongyun seemed to be frozen .
“Is there anything you need this time? I think I can provide support like last time . . . ” Liu Yongyun offered .
Hyeonu waved his hands while shaking his head . Then he said, “No need . I can’t get help every time . I will come back if I feel it isn’t sufficient . Please take good care of the adventurers who will arrive in Yuanyang . They won’t do any harm and will instead help the empire . You just have to give moderate rewards . ”
After that, Hyeonu said goodbye to Liu Yongyun and left . It was time for Hyeonu to act as an inspector of the Yuxin Empire .
“Then I will start the inspector cosplay . Inspector Alley Leader!”
