The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 251: If you need brotherly love

Hidden piece.

Rumors about it had been rampant since the days Arcana was a game. Even though it was unclear whether it even existed, some people chose the explorer class with the sole goal of finding hidden pieces.

The reason was simple.

Hidden piece.

Just from the name itself, it looked like a huge reward would follow, right?

But after the Cataclysm.

After AAU shared Arcana information with players.

Hidden Piece became a futile joke.

Why was I looking for a reward that hasnt even been implemented yet

- No one asked you to look for it in the first place

I feel like Im going to lose my mind just looking for it

Before the Cataclysm.

Hidden Piece was not a content that would appear at the time.

To put it simply, it was an unimplemented content that would be used later.

Therefore, AAU also didnt know about the reward or its existence.

Thats natural.

I went through a lot of trouble ahead of other players

I skipped the middle step and had a significant experience.

But even for me, this was my first time discovering a hidden piece like this.

[Hidden Piece, Ice Dragons Snowy Mountain]

[Hidden Piece, Dragon Temple]

In fact, it made sense just by looking at the name attached to it.

To put it simply, Hidden Piece lived up to its name.

First of all, the difficulty of entering it was beyond imagination.

Even the Ice Dragons Snow Mountain.

There was a condition that I had to meet the Ice Dragon Prosnax in the gap of dimensions. Well, the Dragon Temple was even worse than that. You wouldnt even be able to approach it unless you were a dragon.

I dont want to admit it, but

I was an exception because I was the Dark Dragon.

Anyway, Hidden Piece was such a grand place. But the garden of Yusra Kingdom, which only grew bi-herb at best, was given the moniker Hidden Piece!

There was only one possibility I could think of.

For 15 days while I was gone.

Something happened to the garden.

Elsidore.

I activated the Hierarchy of Blessing.

!

Because of this, I could tell by looking at Elsidores face as he took a step back.

It was obvious that something was bothering him.

Truthfully, I wanted to grab Elsidore and ask him about it.

I had the hierarchy anyway.

Even if he had something he wanted to hide from me, he wouldnt be able to hide it.

But who was Grandfel?

A person with excessively noble pride.

Due to unforeseen circumstances.

I couldnt visit the garden for 15 days.

He had an annoying personality that made him think it was a burden he had to bear.

Theres no way I can interrogate Elsidore.

So I had no choice but to judge with my own eyes.

First of all, what Elsidore was blocking was the bi-herb.

But, wait a minute

Why did it look so unusual?

The petals were extremely wide and in full bloom.

Also, the large fruits stood out the most.

I spoke calmly.

Is it because the harvest season has passed?

I didnt really mean anything by that.

Gasp

I heard Elsidore startle.

Whats with the overreaction?

Anyone who saw that would think he was really being enslaved.

If you thought about it, the reason why I missed the harvest time was because I couldnt go to the garden.

There was no way Grandfel could blame other people.

Elsidore didnt have to worry.

I wanted to say something generous, but I couldnt.

Youve grown up odd.

Indeed.

The fruit I saw in front of me was truly odd.

I couldnt even recognize its identity.

The demon kings loot, [Pentagram of Pure Knowledge].

Thanks to that effect, I was able to understand information about all the plants and minerals that existed in Arcana. But even with that knowledge, I had no information about this fruit.

What it meant was simple.

That fruit was not only odd in appearance.

It was literally [oddity].

Perhaps because I thought like that

I could also understand why the garden of bi-herb had a grand moniker called Hidden Piece. If this was the garden where oddity grew up, it probably deserved to be called Hidden Piece.

So the important thing is.

How did the odd fruits grow in the garden?

I asked Elsidore, looking at the fruit.

Has anyone other than you visited the garden?

None.

Are you sure?

Yes. I never left my seat even for a moment.

I was the one who asked, but was it a dumb question?

Elsidores temperament.

It had been widely known since he first appeared.

Now, he couldnt say much because of the hierarchy.

But he despised humans and everything else except the elves themselves.

I had no expectation that his temperament would be cured.

Elsidore has his guard all up.

Who would dare to stop by the garden?

Then again, there was only one possibility.

As Elsidore had said.

Thanks to taking care of the bi-herb without leaving the room even for a moment.

The bi-herb grew [odd].

Oddity.

A combination of two completely different concepts.

In addition to the nature of bi-herb.

What kind of influence did Elsidore have?

I didnt know if he influenced the oddity.

But one thing was certain.

First of all, I couldnt tell the effect just by looking at it.

In order to know the effect

Ill have to try it.

Of course, I had no intention of going crazy and swallowing the fruit in the reality.

Even when I took an elixir that had known effects.

I dropped my teacup and fainted from the side effect!

On the Arcana Continent.

Well, it might hurt.

But even if I died there, I wouldnt die.

Anyway, well done, Elsidore.

Thanks to you, I dont know what this is, but I got an unusual fruit.

I opened my mouth.

Your pride has come to fruition.

Your pride has come to fruition, what is that expression

Grandfels style of speaking was so hard to understand even for me who spat it out.

But somehow, the meaning seemed to be conveyed.

Is that so? Haha

Elsidores face suddenly turned bright.

Had Elsidore also become serious about growing bi-herbs?

Was being a farmer a good fit for an elf?

I contemplated for a moment.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Come to think of it, I had something to ask.

Enter Sisley, the land of the elves. (In Progress)

The class quest that I had gotten for the first time in a while.

The World Tree and the Fruit of Good and Evil.

And what happened between the demons.

Enter Sisley to chase the clue

!

No, wait a second.

For a moment, like being electrocuted.

I felt stung.

Fruit of Good and Evil.

The fruit I saw before my eyes.

Sisley, the home of the elves.

The Garden of Dignity, where the elf Elsidore resided.

The Fruit of Good and Evil, where good and evil coexisted completely differently.

A fruit that contained two completely different properties, oddity.

These were not common points that I could just brush off, right?

*

Golden Palace.

However, this was not the annex building where he stayed.

At this moment, Elsidore felt extremely anxious.

What is this about?

He couldnt help it.

Your pride has come to fruition.

Regardless of the process, he definitely heard those words at the end.

So he was relieved.

He had no expectation to get Mothers blessing back, but.

He was spared the reprimand for being negligent in maintaining the garden.

But why did this happen so suddenly?

Follow me.

Tap tap

Before he knew it, he was following in Hoyeols footsteps.

Elsidore reflected on his actions.

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldnt think of an act that went against Hoyeols will

? No way?

As expected, did he get caught?

From the moment when he was trying to uproot it?

If he thought about it like that, he was guilty of many things.

He had tried to cover the flowers and fruits with his body, and he even backed away when he heard the sound Therefore, Elsidore couldnt help but hesitate as he entered Hoyeols office.

Slam

Ugh.

The moment the door closed.

He recalled a terrible memory.

The time when he couldnt say anything to Hoyeol because of the hierarchy and just answered him obediently. Perhaps because of that experience. Elsidore didnt make unnecessary remarks.

Its no use rebelling.

In the first place, if he could go against the hierarchy.

He wouldnt have been treated like this.

So he opened his mouth voluntarily first.

Ill answer what you ask me.

Then he received a calm answer.

Then this conversation will be quick.

Elsidore bit his lips.

Do I really have to tell everything!

The 15 days when Hoyeol was away.

Elsidore looked back on his mistakes.

As expected, the thing that bothered him the most was the constant muttering to himself.

Look. Isnt the water I give you better?

Haha, now I dont know who owns the garden.

This is dignity, this is the garden of dignity.

All of that?

For a moment, Elsidore fell into agony.

Hoyeol continued to Elsidore.

The question was completely unexpected.

Elsidore.

Im listening.

How did you do in Sisley?

Sisley?

He couldnt even imagine it.

He never thought Hoyeol would suddenly ask him about something from the past.

Didnt he mean to interrogate him?

As Elsidore was suspicious until the end.

A merciful offer followed.

We should sit down and talk.

!

Maybe the conversation will get longer.

Really.

Was Hoyeol curious about how he had been?

This was the first time hed ever get this question.

Furthermore, it wasnt the kind of question he was worried about.

Elsidore was able to answer indifferently.

There really wasnt much to say about his routine at Sisley.

My kin and I enjoyed eternity in Sisley, communing with nature. If I had to compare it It was similar to the life I have now. Of course, at Sisley, it grew on its own without any effort. I didnt have to put in a lot of effort like I do now.

Does that include the World Tree?

Of course.

Beyond the obvious.

It was their mission to protect the World Tree.

Of course, the object of communion also included Mother.

Can I drink?

Of course.

Thank you.

Elsidore took the teacup Hoyeol gave him and tilted it.

Green water?

It didnt matter that it had a bitter taste.

The warmth was enough for him to talk about the past.

Elsidore had nothing to be desired.

The moment he continued to talk about his life in Sisley.

A question followed again.

Then the World Tree could also bear fruit.

I guess so.

If you took care of her.

Indeed, he had an aesthetic sense that was inhumane.

He recognized their greatness right away.

Elsidore puffed up.

Even though its the lizards role to sow seeds. If we dont take care of her, she cant even bear seeds. So the responsibility for this situation lies with the lizards, not us.

The ones who went against her wishes first were the lizards, the dragons.

That was why he and his kin didnt fulfill their responsibilities.

The fact that Mother died without producing proper fruits.

The fact that the dragons sowed the seeds without knowing that.

It was not their fault.

As he was thinking about that.

Clink

He heard the sound of a teacup being put down.

I knew it.

The voice that was confident as always continued.

Just like before.

Another unexpected remark followed.

It was all because of the lack of pride of the brothers.

.

.

.

For now, one thing was certain.

Grandfel, youre addicted to green tea.

Perhaps because of the caffeine in green tea.

I feel like my brain stops spinning.

Therefore.

The moment I listened to Elsidore, the tangled clues were unraveled.

I noticed where the misunderstanding started.

The dragons and the elves each had a mission.

If the dragons had a mission to sow seeds.

For elves, their mission was to make the seeds bear fruit.

But Elsidore said it clearly.

He and his kin didnt fulfill their responsibilities.

Then the fruit of the World Tree.

The Fruit of Good and Evil didnt grow properly in the first place.

The same was true for the dragons.

The dragons job was simply to sow the seeds.

They didnt have to sacrifice their life to sprout the seeds.

That meant they were fooled by someone from the beginning.

It was all because of the lack of pride of the brothers.

The pride of the brothers.

If I were to interpret Grandfels language, it would mean brotherly love.

As he said, if they didnt lack brotherly love.

If they had talked to each other.

If they had cleared up the misunderstanding.

If they had found the root cause of the incident.

The current situation wouldnt have happened.

This is why families should be harmonious.

Even if I regretted it, it couldnt be helped.

There was no word regret in Grandfels dictionary.

I just moved on when it was time to regret it.

But that also needs to be corrected.

?

In that regard.

I had one more thing to do at Sisley.

Of course, I would do the class quest.

Through guidance and education.

?!

The dragons and the elves.

I even had to restore their brotherly relationship.

Whats wrong with this family

Why does the youngest have to do everything by himself!?
