Chapter 318
Many emotions were displayed in the old emperor’s eyes as he stared at Hyeonu who came to see him unexpectedly . Among them, doubt had the biggest share . Why had Hyeonu come to find him now? These sorts of thoughts were being expressed in the old emperor’s eyes .
“I came here because I need your help,” Hyeonu said politely but not in an inferior manner and without avoiding the old emperor’s eyes .
“Help? Say it . I will listen to your request and consider it,” the emperor replied with an interested expression .
“I will hand over information on the group leaders of the Secret Camp to the imperial family . I want you to take care of them on my behalf . Any reason is fine, be it to overturn a rebellion or to conduct a clean-up,” Hyeonu expressed his idea .
If the other side was using NPCs, then Hyeonu would use them as well . Additionally, his side was more superior; he wouldn’t be pushed at all when it came to NPCs . In fact, he would be overwhelmingly strong .
“Help . . . ?” The emperor murmured in a small voice as he closed his eyes to ponder on Hyeonu’s proposal . In his opinion, Hyeonu’s proposal was quite good .
‘It is an opportunity to separate the imperial family from the Gucheon Secret Department . ’
This was a chance to remove the shadow of the Gucheon Secret Department on the imperial family . It might be called a horizontal relationship, but reality wasn’t so rigid . There were always ups and downs .
‘I can show my benevolence . . . ’
The more he thought about it, the better it seemed . There didn’t seem to be a problem . The old emperor opened his eyes and gazed at Hyeonu . Then he stated, “It has something to do with the imperial family, so I naturally have to help . Just give me the list . I will take care of the things that come after . ”
As the emperor made the promise, Hyeonu couldn’t help smiling and said, “Here you are . There are 30 people in total . ”
It was incredible . Out of the 35 remaining Secret Camp leaders, 30 were related to the imperial family . Only five had infiltrated forces that had nothing to do with the imperial family .
‘When are there ever coincidences like this?’
It was truly good luck that so many of them had infiltrated places related to the imperial family .
‘Five will be handled soon . ’
There were four forces clearing the quest . If one force handled two people, then the quest would be over . Then the emperor drove in a wedge: “It will be finished in four days . ”
Four days—he promised that he would kill 30 people in just four days .
“I understand, Your Majesty . ” A deep smile appeared on Hyeonu’s face .
***
Several NPCs gathered to talk about what had happened in the last few days .
“Did you hear the news? Redin’s knight commander was taken away today . ”
“Isn’t this already close to 20?”
“Yes, with this person, it’s 21 . It will soon be 25 . ”
A brown liquid flowed through the white straw . The man’s face was smiling due to the pleasant sweetness of the peach iced tea .
‘The emperor has good contacts . ’
The identity of the man was Hyeonu . After taking care of a leader of the Secret Camp, he had returned to the city for a leisurely drink .

‘My share is done . The only ones left are the emperor’s and New York Warriors’?’
Hyeonu’s part ended with this . New World and Red Bull America had also completed their share . Apart from the names passed onto the emperor, there was only one remaining on Reina’s side .
‘She will handle it . ’
Hyeonu shook his head . His list of things to deal with had accumulated too much for him to care about Reina’s side as well .
‘I have to level up a bit . . . ’
It wasn’t long before his professional debut after all . Just then, a desperate voice entered Hyeonu’s ears .
-From Reina: Please help me . We have fallen into a trap . They came first and were waiting .
It was Reina’s rescue request .
Hyeonu’s expression crumpled . The glass he held in his hand was smashed into pieces, and the fragments scattered through the air .
‘Is it those jerks again?’
They didn’t snap out of it even after getting hit like that . Hyeonu quickly took out a piece of white paper from his inventory .
[-The 32nd group leader of the Secret Camp, Nam Jun . He infiltrated the Yongsal Sect as a child and is now the master . His specialty was ice magic and the spear . ]
‘Yongsal Sect? Where is this?’

Hyeonu searched his memories, but he couldn’t remember the name ‘Yongsal Sect . ’ Even similar words didn’t come to mind . ‘It must be serious if a battle happens . . . ’
This was urgent . Hyeonu resented his self from a few seconds ago—a man who was too relaxed .
‘They messed with me again and again . . . ’
Anger filled him . Like a gas station filled with oil, Hyeonu’s body was filled with anger . Hyeonu suppressed his anger and approached three NPCs to ask, “Do you know the Yongsal Sect?”
“Yongsal Sect? Yongsal Sect . . . Is it that place?”
“Do you know it? It’s a force that established itself in a place called Yongsal Mountain . Yongsal Mountain is to the east of a city called Pakara,” one of the NPCs kindly told Hyeonu the location of the Yongsal Sect .
Hyeonu bowed to the NPC several times before searching his inventory to find a return amulet that could go to Pakara .
‘I found it!’
[Pakara Return Amulet]
[An amulet that can move you to Pakara, one of the cities of the Yuxin Empire .
Rating: Common
Restrictions: None
Effect: You will be moved to the city ‘Pakara’ when used . ]
Hyeonu exited the inventory with the Pakara Return Amulet in hand . Then he tore it without any hesitation . There was a white light, and Hyeonu disappeared from the city .
***
Hyeonu turned his head and examined his surroundings . He was looking for directions . East—he had to find the east gate .
‘It’s over there . ’
A small wooden signpost displaying milestones for the north, west, east, and south gates entered Hyeonu’s eyes . He then frantically ran in the direction of the piece of wood written ‘east’ . This happened shortly before he arrived at the east gate . The problem was that the distance from the city gate to what was believed to be Yongsal Mountain wasn’t short . Nevertheless, Hyeonu came up with a method to speed up his movements .

“Tang-E, come out,” he called out .
Tang-E’s buff, Breath of the Wind, had the effect of increasing agility and movement speed .
“Master dude, why did you call me? Is it another mountain? This is an addiction, an addiction . ” Tang-E appeared instantly and looked around before clicking his tongue at Hyeonu .
Hyeonu ignored Tang-E’s words and asked for a buff: “Give me Breath of the Wind . I have to go see someone in a hurry now . I’m in a rush . I’ll call you when I get there, so come on . ”
At Hyeonu’s urging, Tang-E cast his buff silently .
“Go and make sure to call me, Master dude . ” Tang-E disappeared from Hyeonu’s eyes after these words .
Hyeonu stared at the place where Tang-E disappeared for a moment before kicking off from the ground again .
‘It’s so fast now because there’s a buff . ’
He was fast before but even more so now after Tang-E’s buff, and the surrounding scenery blurred like he was traveling in a car . After running for around an hour, Hyeonu arrived at the beginning of the Yongsal Mountain . Tang-E’s buff had long since disappeared .
‘Now, how do I find it?’
Due to having been told that an acquaintance fell into a trap, Hyeonu had run without a break . However, Yongsal Mountain wasn’t like a small mountain behind a village . It was a much higher and steeper mountain than Hyeonu expected, making it feel like finding Reina would be a very difficult feat . Just then, another idea came to mind .
‘That’s right!’
Hyeonu had an amazing ride .
‘I will start with Tang-E . ’
“Tang-E, come out . We’ve arrived . ”
Hyeonu called out the name, and Tang-E appeared naturally .
“We’ve arrived, Master dude . Who are you here to see?”
Hyeonu hugged Tang-E while explaining, “Do you know Reina? The pretty blonde-haired sister . I have to find her . ”
Then he summoned a mount: “Tyrant’s Advent . ”
It was a skill he hadn’t used for a long time . Due to its two-week cooldown, he cherished Tyrant’s Advent the most as he didn’t know when it would be needed . However, now wasn’t the time to save it . This was the time of necessity . Hyeonu climbed onto the back of Drake Caruso, who had dark red skin, and said, “Go up to the sky . ”
Surprisingly, Caruso listened well . Like a car with artificial intelligence, he followed Hyeonu’s command obediently and quickly flew into the air . He covered a really long distance with just one flap of his wings .
“Uwaaaaah! Master dude, it’s scary!” Tang-E clung tightly to Hyeonu’s arms because he was terrified .

‘This is just fine . ’ Hyeonu judged the altitude was adequate and gave Caruso another order: “Move at the right speed . I need to scan the mountain . ”
Instantly understanding Hyeonu’s vague words, Caruso moved swiftly but at a speed that didn’t interfere with Hyeonu’s vision . This was tens of times speedier than Hyeonu’s previous movement speed . After all, it was much faster to move through the air without any obstacles than to run on land with a slope and various terrain features .
Yet, even while riding Caruso, Hyeonu couldn’t spot Reina . He had inferred the situation from Reina’s whisper and knew it would not be a small number of opponents . Thus, they should be visible from such a height .
‘So why can’t I see anyone?’
Hyeonu couldn’t travel by riding on Caruso’s back indefinitely .
It was only for 10 minutes .
‘I think it has been five minutes already . . . ’
A wave of impatience came over Hyeonu, and he felt he couldn’t waste a single minute or second . Hyeonu urged Caruso, “Move faster, faster . ”
A dark red light covered Caruso’s huge wings as he started using magic power while flying . They were now traveling at a speed that was twice as fast as before . Hyeonu’s concentration was also doubled . He wondered if he would pass by without seeing Reina .
“Master dude! Too fast!” Tang-E shouted . However, Hyeonu ignored him . The situation was too urgent for Hyeonu to care about small complaints .
‘There!’
At this moment, Hyeonu saw a crowd of hundreds . He shouted hurriedly, “There! Fly to the highest tree!!!"
Caruso flew faster than before after knowing Hyeonu’s heart .
“Slowly hover here . ” Hyeonu examined the battlefield to determine the exact situation .
He saw familiar faces scattered throughout . ‘There are the Warriors and those on the opposing side . . . Who are they?’
The only unfamiliar people were those dressed in white .
‘Ah! They are the NPCs of the Yongsal Sect,’ Hyeonu quickly recognized their identity .
Those dressed in white were the people of Yongsal .
‘They are going to lose pretty soon . If things continue like this, they will be logged out before long . ’
The battle wasn’t going well for the New York Warriors . This was natural as their number was too small . There were over 100 people on the opposing side .
‘I have to show them that there are some things you just shouldn’t touch . ’
“Fire a Breath once in greeting,” Hyeonu said while looking at the ground with a sly smile .
