Moonlight Sculptor: Dad is a Legend (114)
“America has led the world order for more than 100 years.”

“The days of glory will come again.”

In American politics, there was a longing for the past century when the United States was called the world’s policeman.

A new president is elected after four years, or eight years if re-elected.

The new presidents were shocked to see the security documents that explained why they had lost the initiative in industry and finance and were falling behind.

“There was a person named Dr. Yoo Byeong-jun?”

A great man who single-handedly created the best artificial intelligence and virtual reality that was thought to be impossible with the technology of the time over several decades.

A peerless, cross-disciplinary genius in computer science.

The reason he started all this was because he wanted revenge on the so-called popular kids.

“The current head of the Unicorn Group is a man named Lee Hyeon.”

“Lee Hyun? Are you Dr. Yoo Byung-jun’s secret son? Or the real power behind the scenes secretary of the Unicorn Group?”

“No. I am the first user to unify Royal Road.”

“… … ?”

He was the head of an intelligence agency that shocked presidents who were not familiar with virtual reality.

The person who inherited all the assets of the unicorn group that controls the global economy was the gamer who unified Royal Road.

It was fortunate that I didn’t even know that I had once eaten rice.

“You have to dig deep into Lee Hyun. From his family relationships to his interpersonal relationships. Are you involved in any illegal activities? You have to find out everything you can.”

The U.S. intelligence agencies thoroughly searched Lee Hyun’s office every time a president changed. But even so, not much information was revealed.

“I’m not picky about food. I like soup. I can eat a bowl of bone soup and sundae soup in no time.”

“What about human relationships?”

“Almost none.”

“What about relationships with politicians or connections with specific countries?”

“No. There was a controversy in diplomatic circles when we gave coffee mix to the Japanese Prime Minister and the Chinese President when they visited.”

When a head of state visits, it is standard to treat him with the utmost courtesy, such as by being greeted at the airport or inspecting the honor guard.

Rumors began to spread that the head of the Unicorn Group hated Japan and China.

Because if Koreans put their country first, they can have a big impact not only in Asia but also in the US and Europe.

But that misunderstanding quickly disappeared.

“We gave tap water to the President of Korea.”

“Tap water?”

“Yes, it is said that he showed the sight of receiving tap water and pouring it into a cup. And when the former US president visited… … .”

“How did you do it?”

It was a situation that couldn’t help but make me nervous.

“I gave you a can of coffee.”

“Canned coffee?”

“The diplomatic community evaluated that he was treated with the utmost courtesy.”

As the president of a superpower, the United States, he could feel some comfort, but the report was not over.

“But the next year, when the Japanese Prime Minister visited with the finest eel, canned coffee was served.”

“is it so?”

“China also sent a prime minister, and when I brought 500-year-old ginseng, they gave me canned coffee.”

“… … .”

The position of President of the United States is one that cannot be held without insight and experience.

Lee Hyun was simply certain of the give and take depending on the proportion of the gifts he brought.

“What did the former president bring as a gift and receive canned coffee in return?”

As the President of the United States, it was humiliating, but it was also true that there weren’t many gifts he could give to the head of the Unicorn Group.

Because the unicorn group dominates industries ranging from chemicals, shipbuilding, robotics, automobiles, and aerospace.

“I brought the best mountaineering clothes.”

“Hiking clothes?”

“yes.”

“Did you say you liked it?”

“There is a record of him asking if I wanted another can of coffee.”

A village beneath the Devil’s Castle.

Knight Angel, captured in 321 AD, was from a poor family.

“Give it back! That bread is our family’s life.”

“Then get on your knees, you little punk.”

Angel made a firm resolution as he knelt down in his childhood.

‘I’m on my knees now, but I will definitely overcome.’

So, he used his kneeling knees as momentum to swing the tree branches and practice swordsmanship on his own.

In the year 321 of the Continental Calendar, the mission of humans was to secure land for farming.

A lot of people were needed to fight the monsters.

Angel, who had grown up a little, went to the recruiter.

“If I become a soldier, will I be given food?”

“okay.”

“Can you eat your fill?”

“I won’t starve.”

With those words, I began my three years of military life with peace of mind.

He rolled around on the battlefield, earned merits, survived, and became a knight.

Knights were the core of military power and were respected by the nobles.

It goes without saying that they exist in the back alley slums.

‘I succeeded.’

When Angel was delighted to become a knight, he was kidnapped to an unknown location.

My whole body was paralyzed and subdued by those who suddenly appeared in the darkness, but I couldn’t make out much.

‘This is hell.’

Knight Angel endured terrible conditions in the village.

“You two, come out!”

Those who were dragged out by the servants had their bodies torn to pieces and offered as sacrifices or as food.

It was a tragic end for heroes captured across Roanoke’s many timelines.

The performers pointed to Angel.

“That guy… … .”

“Still young. And now he’s ugly.”

“Let’s eat next time.”

Do even those with cannibalistic customs judge people by their appearance?

In the year 321 of the Continental Calendar, Angel was captured and frustrated.

“I’ve been starving my whole life, and now I can become food after I die.”

Could such a miserable fate exist?

I became somewhat close with the wizard Ren and the thief boy Jis, who survived together.

In a place where one or two people die at a time, you have no choice but to rely on each other.

“You said your name was Ren?”

“Yes, I am a fire wizard.”

“Isn’t magic a technique used by the servants of the demon race?”

“What kind of rude words are you talking about…! Magic is the power to intervene in phenomena based on reflection.”

“yes?”

There was a time difference of over 300 years between him and the wizard Ren.

If Angel lived in a barbaric and force-dependent era, Ren lived in a much better era.

Jis, the thief boy with gloomy eyes, didn’t say much.

“I wish the day would come when we all die together.”

“Honestly, I don’t want to be the last one.”

“… … .”

The three prisoners were just waiting for their day to die.

But then a savior appeared and opened the lock and came in.

Weed met quite a few residents on Royal Road.

I have completed the first linked quest related to Queen Yvaine’s handkerchief and have also developed connections with the powerful figures of Royal Road.

“That guy has a really great sense of swordsmanship. I could feel his passion for swordsmanship from the way he was beating the scarecrow with such sincerity.”

Instructor Dork.

He was the one who once donated a lunch box to Weed’s clingy friend.

“He is a hero who saved the Northern Continent and defeated the Embinyu Cult. He was also the first to unify the continent. However, he seemed to be very weak to the cold. I remember him pushing me forward when I was younger because he didn’t want to be exposed to the cold wind.”

Alveron, who became the Pope of the Church of Freya.

“He is a very bad master. Just thinking about him makes my bones tremble.”

Death Knight Van Hawk.

Weed has hung out with many NPCs in Royal Road, but he never developed any affection for them.

The same was true of the gaze upon the three people found captive in the village beneath the Devil’s Castle.

‘Will I be able to earn money if I rescue the prisoners? Can I trust these guys?’

I didn’t believe it from the beginning, but there was a message that appeared when I started the 10th level of hell.

caution!

Somewhere in this area, there are groups of survivors and prisoners. They will either insist on cooperating or running away. They may even betray you.

The demon species have established an outpost at the place where time begins, and we learn why there are prisoners here.

‘They’re changing history by capturing people from the past.’

(It seems that they bring in those who are a hindrance to the demon species and kill them or make them prisoners.)

‘Roanoke’s history continues to take a turn for the worse.’

(Heroes disappear, and greedy nobles rise to power.)

(It is a tremendous fact that the involvement of the demon sect has been revealed.)

Knight Angel, wizard Ren, and thief Jis found in the village of performers.

Angel was looking at her earnestly.

“Are you here to save us from here?”

I lived in a place where death came one after another, waiting for death to come.

He thought his turn would come today or tomorrow, but unexpectedly, a rescuer showed up whom he had not expected.

The wizard Ren said.

“I don’t want to die in a place like this. I wish you could help us.”

Tiring!

Prisoners asking for help

Let’s take the prisoners captured by the devil’s plot to a safe place.

Reward: Leads to an additional quest in Hellfire Stage 10.

Occurrence of additional quests.

Weed spoke to the three prisoners.

“Let’s get out of here.”

You have accepted the quest.

“We will fight together.”

“I will give you strength.”

Weed gave a short reply to Angel and Ren’s words.

“Don’t try to do anything, just follow.”

“… … .”

I left the building where I was being held as a prisoner and ran down the alley.

Of course, Weed would look around from time to time.

“Ugh!”

“W, my breath… … .”

Although the prisoners were starving and emaciated and couldn’t eat properly, they ran hard while muffling the sound of their footsteps.

(There are practitioners approaching from the west. They are practitioners of Lacone.)

As Weed went through the 16th round, he remembered the guys who patrolled at set times.

Clear quickly by shooting an arrow, rolling, and shooting another arrow.

“This way.”

Rather than leaving the village, I went into an empty house.

An empty house that has not been used by performers for more than a month.

Weed took food out of his backpack.

“Tell me what’s going on while I eat this.”

They gave the prisoners plenty of food, from gray wolf jerky to fresh fruit.

The reason I didn’t skimp on food was because the reset happened after the 16th round.

“Thank you.”

“thank you for this food.”

“… … .”

Two people eating while expressing their gratitude, and one person reaching for the food while keeping an eye on the situation.

They explained while eating.

“We don’t know much, but sometimes people get caught.”

“Convince those who follow the devil’s order to join your side.”

“If you refuse, you will be tortured to death. In a place where people die every day. When everyone is dead, it will soon be our turn.”

Weed was quietly listening to their story.

It could be a heartbreaking story for the sensitive, with concerns about the destruction of Roanoke.

‘Did the prisoners die every time they tried to challenge 16 times?’

(That may have been the case. Maybe the master died first.)

‘What is known about them historically?’

(The names of the three people are not recorded separately in history books.)

‘It looks like he was caught before he could grow properly.’

(That’s very likely.)
