As the old emperor realized what Hyeonu’s eyes were implying, the two people who were still standing at the back filled his vision. It was the man and woman with golden hair.
“How about the two of you go back first? Come back tomorrow. On the way out, get the imperial palace’s entrance plaque,” the old emperor instructed Mascherano and Reina. The two people looked surprised when the emperor suddenly spoke to them, but they left the great hall of the palace after bowing to him.
Upon confirming that the two people had left, the emperor said to Hyeonu, “Now, tell me. What do you want to receive?”
“Give me some good medicine.”
“Medicine?” The old emperor stared at Hyeonu as if he had heard incorrectly.
“Yes, medicine. It would be nice if it is a medicine that’s good for the body. Something that would give me strength after I take it or something like that,” Hyeonu said something that was misleading. This caused a strange light to fill the emperor’s eyes. He uttered, “Already... at such a young age...”
Hyeonu shook his head and explained, “It isn’t like that. I need an elixir that increases the amount of magic power or makes the body lighter. I would really appreciate it if you give me two of them.”
“You are really unpretentious... The more I see of you, the more I want you on my side...” The old emperor smiled warmly.
It was because the medicine Hyeonu mentioned felt really cheap. That was too cheap a reward for fulfilling the imperial family’s wish.
“Two medicines. I’ll give them to you right away. Is there anyone around?” The old emperor shouted into the air. Then a man dressed in black appeared like a ghost. The old emperor gave an order to his attendant: “Go to the warehouse and bring some ‘medicine’ for our benefactor right away. Select the best one and bring two of it.”
Hyeonu lowered his head and smiled when he saw this scene. The old emperor was willing to give Hyeonu the reward more easily than he had expected.
‘He said it’s the best one... So can I expect it to be unique-rated?’
Hyeonu intended to feed one of the two to Tang-E. It would be a good thing for Hyeonu if Tang-E became a bit stronger.
‘I’m already beyond receiving any items or skills.’
On the other hand, Hyeonu was in perfect condition right now. The synergy between the items he possessed was good, and the individual effects were enormous. It was a story that emerged naturally since he was covered with items that would make other players stare with wide-open eyes. This was the same with his skills.
Hyeonu had many powerful skills, and he felt no discomfort in battle using what he had right now. Of course, the story would be different if he acquired a continuous skill. However, he chose the safer option instead of gambling.
The attendant returned like a ghost with two small boxes in his hand and approached Hyeonu politely. Hyeonu carefully grabbed the small boxes, and a message window appeared in front of him.
[The old emperor’s gift has been acquired.]
[The title ‘Benefactor of the Yuxin Imperial Family’ has been created.]
[Benefactor of the Yuxin Imperial Family]
[A title given to a player who has fulfilled the wish of the Yuxin imperial family.
Effect: In the East Continent, attack and defense will increase by 20% respectively.]
‘A second title!’
Hyeonu repeatedly suppressed the cheers that wanted to emerge. They could burst out, but not now. It had to be when he was alone and no one else was looking.
“Is it really okay for you not to check them?” The emperor asked Hyeonu, who was merely staring at the small boxes.
“It feels good just holding them,” Hyeonu responded with a smile that concealed his desires. He had been too concerned about the title, so he ignored the elixirs he received as compensation.
“I’m glad that you like your reward. Then is that all for today?” The old emperor’s face was filled with regret.
“I want to converse a bit more, but... I have another job to do... I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”
“No, no. You are so competent that anyone would want to hire you. Keep the gold plaque. Your relationship with me and the imperial family won’t end here.”
Hyeonu heard the old emperor’s words and smiled as he answered, “I hope it lasts for a long time, Your Majesty.”
***
Hyeonu left the imperial palace and headed straight for Yuanyang and then Mount Cheon. He had an appointment in Mount Cheon. To be precise, it was in the Balder Mountains, not Mount Cheon.
‘He kept grumbling.’
It started from before they went to the island and lasted till when they returned to South Korea and separated. Mason clung to Hyeonu continuously and kept talking about the East Continent. The problem was that none of the others stopped Mason. Rather, they stood by as if they were supporting him.
As a result, Hyeonu made a promise to send them to the East Continent the moment they returned from the trip. Now, he was going to keep that promise.
‘It’s just the time...’
Hyeonu was running at full speed, but he still risked missing the meeting time. In the end, Hyeonu was late. He tried, but he couldn’t arrive on time. Finally, a call to hurry came from Mason.
-From Mason: Hyung, when are you coming? Did you forget?
-To Mason: I’ll be there soon. I’m almost there. I’m just about to cross over. Wait a bit while chatting to each other.
-From Mason: I understand... I have nothing to say, but I’ll do so. You have to come quickly.
