the chosen ones.

(3) ======================== “I, I...”

After a while, the swordsman opened his mouth.

Hunters were watching the sword castle.

The old man's lips were dry.

“I am to Gongja Kim...”

Here, the swordsman could say a lot.

Above all, he did not have to believe in the Paladin.

There was no reason to believe.

No matter how honest and fair the paladin may be, she is a famous hunter in the 5th guild.

Why should you trust her? 'You guys are all deceiving yourself!' The swordsman could get angry.

Or...

rather, the swordsman could have revealed his skill card.

[A detective's insight].

Ability to show your opponent's kill count.

It wasn't a very wise choice to show off his skills to others.

Still, that's good enough to be used as an excuse.

'It's not that I was suspicious of Gongja Kim because I'm a kkondae.

It's all the skill's fault! Skill says yes, but what do I do? Isn't it natural to believe in one's own skills rather than trusting others prematurely?' When people make mistakes, they usually distrust others or make excuses to others.

'There are psychopaths who kill their opponents like the flames.' distrust.

excuse.

gag.

Just as Yeomjae proved that he was a psychopath by choosing the method of [silence]...

Swordseong will also decide what kind of person he is by himself depending on which method he chooses.

That's just the story.

“Ummm.”

The swordsman licked his lips.

And decided.

“...Did you say her name was Gongja Kim?”

"Yes." “If you hadn’t slaughtered truly innocent humans… no.

no.

This is not it.”

The swordsman shook his head while speaking.

The old man put the sword into its sheath.

surreung.

As the sword was withdrawn, sighs of relief flowed all over the audience room.

The Hunters surrounding the Sword Castle relaxed a little.

In the meantime, Geomseong sharpened his tie.

“Let me say it again.”

The old swordsman bowed his head deeply.

“I’m really sorry.”

The old man apologized.

“I was wrong.

Easy to think and easily misunderstood.

.

Up until now, I believed that people who deserved death should be killed and eliminated from the earth as soon as possible by judging by themselves.

I was killed according to my beliefs.”

The swordsman lowered his head a little further.

“But from now on, it will never happen again.”

The old man's voice flowed low in the audience room.

“Apologizing with words alone is useless.

Join us to grant you whatever you want...

It would be great if you could just say that." The low voice mixed with self-help.

“Please forgive me for taking my life.

Please.

I still want to live.

I want to live to the top of this tower.

.

Will you forgive this ugly old man to keep living?”

The audience in the palace became quiet.

The old man was free to choose otherwise.

I was able to distrust the paladin.

He could have made excuses with his skills.

But it didn't.

Instead, the old prosecutor admitted [maybe he was wrong].

“·················ogue.”

The paladin glanced at my face.

eyes met.

She shook her head without saying a word.

There was no conversation, but I knew very well what the paladin wanted to say.

'It's true.' Everything the old man said was true.

I'm sorry, and from now on, I won't kill people based on [the detective's insight].

Not only that, but I don't want to die.

wanting to live longer.

So please forgive me.

- You look like an old man.

The spirit behind murmured.

But he didn't add anything.

He just looked at the old man who was once a disciple with eyes that seemed to be mixed with a little remorse.

Does that mean that you will leave it up to me to forgive the swordsman? "Well." Hearing that silence, I also made up my mind.

“Swordsman.”

“Tell me.”

“Teach me the sword.”

“·················ogue.”

The swordsman raised his bowed head and looked up at me.

“Are you asking me to teach you? If I ask for Dalian in the future, please accept it at any time.

I got the swordsmanship master by chance, but I don't have an important matchup opponent yet.

It would be nice if Swordsman-nim became a matchmaker.”

At the same time, I made an appointment with the hinterland on the 11th floor.

He plans to train his swordsmanship in earnest until he clears the 20th floor.

In order to keep the promise, it would be appropriate to use the sword castle as a training partner here.

As a result, it leads to my gains and growth...

“·················ogue.”

no.

That's not it.

This is not what I want to say.

I shook my head.

"I'm sorry.

Let me say it again.”

“··········–?”

“Honestly, I can forgive at no cost.

By the way." I opened my mouth.

“Then something is off-putting.

I definitely look more like a big brother than Swordsman.

I'm not that great.

I’m just slightly satisfied with the fact that a strong hunter like Swordsman-sama is no longer hostile to me.”

“·················ogue.”

“But it even went back and forth to sword fighting, but here it is ok! And I'm a bit embarrassed to forgive.

It's embarrassing to pretend to be a great person for nothing.

I just don't like it.

So, the most valuable thing that swordsman possesses.

Please teach me swordsmanship.”

I was somehow embarrassed.

No, my cheeks twitched.

“If this is the case, then I won’t be shy… and Swordsman will also save face.”

“·················ogue.”

“·················ogue.”

Fuck! Was it such a shame to tell your heart out! Oh My God.

How did the swordsman ask for forgiveness because his life was so precious? He also seems to have strong self-esteem.

Awesome.

awesome.

Can a person sincerely apologize to someone? Can you beg for forgiveness? I can never do it don't I'd rather die "···Oh my gosh." The paladin murmured.

“Surprisingly… it’s all true.”

Silence subsided again in the audience room.

It was heavy.

It must have been the same silence, but the atmosphere was different from before.

"Huh." The viper opened his mouth first.

"really? I can ask the swordsman anything, but I'm too lazy to pretend...? So you just want me to be your partner in Dalian?”

“It’s hard to believe, but at least according to my skills, it’s true.”

"what.

that newbie.

Is it a natural monument?”

Shut up before you eat it with Bamtang.

“… it’s fresh.”

said the witch, trembling.

“What can I say? It's been a long time since I've seen people like Kim Gong-ja Hunter after looking only at children who are wandering around and trying to make a little more profit.

Even Yongke survived without dying.”

dead.

died a lot Specifically, he died over 4000 times.

are you okay? "Ahhh." For some reason, the Heretic Inquisitor had tears in his eyes.

“He who truly forgives and the one who truly forgives! What a beautiful sight! That's right.

Humans are constantly fighting.

But, paradoxically, it is just that, so it is infinitely forgiving! What a holy miracle! Ah, everyone.

I am-." “It’s noisy, so close your mouth.”

"Yep." At the viper's word, the Heretic Inquisitor really shut his mouth.

It was a bit of a miracle.

"there.

It seems like it ended well for each other.

If this is the case, isn’t it possible that only my 10,000 gold was wasted?”

No one listened to the Count's complaint.

I sighed.

I have a strong craving for soju.

“Anyway, yes.

Swordsman.

There is no need to practice swordsmanship right now.

If I tell you, you can hang out with it at that time.

Please be my Dalian partner.”

“·················ogue.”

The swordsman didn't say anything for a while.

He just stared at my face.

Then, suddenly, the old man slowly opened his mouth.

“So,”

the old man's lips trembled with a mustache.

“How could I have misunderstood such a good young man!”

"Huh···." "Oh oh! Did you ask me to teach you a sword? Did I tell you to become a matchmaker? Of course it is! say good! I'll be your opponent as much as you want!" thump.

The swordsman grabbed my hand with both hands.

“Oh, there it is.

Swordsman?”

“Call me Grandpa Marcus!”

"Yes?" “What is the age of the young Confucius? Well.

Judging from my eyes, I am not over 30 yet.

You have left behind a very kind granddaughter in the outside world.

A child with a sweet heart.

If my granddaughter joins the tower, I will actively appeal to the charm of the young Confucius!”

"Nope.

It's really good..." I wasn't interested in love.

It hurt my hand more than that.

hand.

It was as if he hadn't taken the first place in the ranking with his form, and the grip of the sword was enormous.

“What? Are you saying you are not interested in my granddaughter now?”

"Huh.

Yes.

I'm sorry, but I'm not very interested in dating itself, not just Gumseong-nim's granddaughter..." “Uh-huh! Then it would be awful!”

The grip strength has been leveled up by one level.

“In youth, naturally, the spring wind of love should blow.

You don't have to get married.

But love is essential! When you're in a relationship, you start to see sights you've never seen before, and you learn a lot of things you didn't know until then! cancer.

Above all else, you will know how ugly you can be!”

"Ah.

Yes...”

“You know how important it is to know your ugliness.

Let me tell you my case.

That was when I was 16, when I still looked down on everything in the world.

But after meeting her of the same age…”

what? This old man suddenly became terribly annoying.

The faces were too close.

Sebum holes in the nostrils and blackheads were visible.

It was honestly embarrassing.

I want you to leave soon.

- Did you say that you're an old-timer? The mastermind clicked his tongue.

- In a bad sense or in a good sense, you're an idiot.

Do you know what a brat is? If you don't listen to other people, that's stupid.

Grandpa Marcus doesn't listen to people.

To put it bluntly, he has a sense of humor.

To put it bluntly, his leadership is amazing, and it's at the level of an allegory.

I had no idea.

I didn't even want to know.

“Anyway, don’t worry.

Confucius young man! From now on, I will definitely take care of you.

Oh, do you need some pocket money? I just put my money in the safe deposit box and I can't control it." "there.

I know how to make money.

Besides, it's pocket money, isn't it? I'm a decent adult too..." “Now that I see you, your clothes are too shabby! uh huh People need to be neat in their clothes first, so that their mind will be clean.

I know of a good tailor.

How about matching a suit!”

What.

Perhaps this is also a kind of [request for countless handshakes]? Now that I was favored by the Hunter, who is currently ranked number 1, it would be normal to be happy.

I wasn't very happy.

Rather, it was seriously sold.

It was like listening to a real grandfather talking about his grandchildren in real time.

How come the shame is mine? 'What? Should I just commit suicide and start over again today?' - Crazy guy...

That was the moment.

[Welcome, Hunter Gongja Kim.] [You attacked the 11th floor as number one.] A voice echoed in my head.

As if waiting for my fight to end.

3.

'Ah.' I looked around reflexively.

Most were sighing in relief.

The expression of gladness that the swordsman quietly stopped the fight.

No one seemed to have heard a voice yet.

'I'm the first!' A smile was made.

'I don't know why, but from the 12th to the 20th floor, there was very little information about the attack.' Is the media controlled? There was no way to know the details.

However, before I returned after overcoming 4000 deaths, a lot of information was released on the other floors, whereas only the 12th to 20th floors had very little information.

It was as if the giant guilds were united to hide information forcibly.

[A reward for clearing the 11th floor is given.] I soon found out why.

[The Goddess of Protection offers you a reward.] [The Demon King of Autumn Rain offers you a reward.] [Choose between two rewards.] 'Huh?' I blinked my eyes.

'Choose a reward?' The voices that had not been heard on the previous stage were heard one after another.

As if responding to my startled reaction, a selection window appeared in front of my eyes.

+ [Goddess of Protection] Description: The goddess who protects the Aikim Empire was moved by your devotion! The goddess has decided to entrust you with important posts in the Empire.

You can be the prime minister of an empire, a general, or a knight commander.

When you select a position, the abilities and reputation of that position are inherited as well! Warrior of the Goddess! Join forces with your fellow warriors.

And destroy the Demon King's core located on the 20th floor! ※However, if you select the Demon King's reward, you cannot choose the Goddess' reward.

+ I carefully read the reward.

I nodded.

'This is what I know so far.' So-called role-playing! Hunters act as people of the real Aikim Empire.

Someone could be the Prime Minister of the Empire, and someone could be the Commander-in-Chief of the Empire.

It's not just about replacing a job.

If you are a knight leader, you will also inherit the skills and reputation of the knight leader.

[Indicates the special classes that can be selected on the 12th floor.] And the hunters who attacked the previous stage with a high rank were rewarded.

The right to choose a 'special position' just one step ahead of others! + [Prime Minister of the Aigim Empire] [General General of the Aigim Empire] [Treasurer of the Aigim Empire] [Foreign Minister of the Aigim Empire] [Commander of the Knights of the Aigim Empire] [Captain of the Bodyguard of the Aigim Empire] ㆍ ㆍ ㆍ + A series of splendid positions followed.

'Kyaa.' I admired in my heart.

'In the past, I could only choose a role like Guard A...' Of course, I was on the 12th floor even before I experienced the regression.

But then, things were completely different from now.

Not only the commander of the knights, but also positions such as the captain of the guard were monopolized by the middle and upper rankers.

On the other hand, how about now? 'It's good that the stage rewards are really good.' You can now choose the prime minister or general of the empire.

feeling of exasperation.

You were right a hundred times a thousand times that you should row when the water comes in.

'...By the way, what is the devil's reward?' I looked away.

It was written there for the first time in his life.

+ [Demon King of Autumn Rain] Description: The Demon King admires your performance.

The Demon King offers you to work with him secretly.

He promises exactly the same rewards as the Goddess, but with one more gift.

Kill all the top 10 heroes except you! Then, the demon lord will use his powers and send you to the 99th floor of the tower at once.

※However, only 1 out of the top 10 will receive the Demon King's reward.

※If a large number of people choose this reward, only one will be chosen at random.

※If no one chooses, the Demon King's reward will expire.

+ “··········.”

I'm at a loss for words.

When I reacted late, two voices overlapped in my mind.

'What?' -Sigh? It was the hinterland and me.

We blinked and read the Demon King's reward once again.

But when I read it again, the same sentences were engraved.

[Kill all the heroes up to the top 10 except for you!] [Then, the Demon King will use his powers and send you to the 99th floor of the tower at once.] It was clearly written that way.

I looked around.

swordsmanship.

witch.

Heresy Inquisitor.

count.

venomous snake.

paladin, etc.

The top rankers who had already accumulated some familiarity were standing there.

'These people....' if you kill them all 'Can you clear up to the 99th floor at once?' I swallowed saliva.

Finally, a voice rang out.

[Hunter Gongja Kim.] [Choose from two rewards.]28.
