Chapter 139 Hatch (5) (2/2)

Leonte wasn’t able to meet Yeon-woo’s eyes and tried to turn his head. But because of the shadows, he couldn’t move at all.

[I, I…..!]

Yeon-woo walked towards the guy trembling in fear. Without saying anything. Slowly.

Leonte was the guy who planted the sword into his brother’s heart. And the friend that his brother considered most dear. But the reply to his affection was betrayal.

But Yeon-woo didn’t ask why he did that.

Why he made that choice. Why he betrayed his little brother. Why he crossed over to Cheonghwado.

Because it was obvious what the obvious would be. He would probably have an excuse, but he didn’t want to know.

All he wanted was for his brother to be comforted in the least.

There was only one thing he wanted to know.

“I hope you know more than Bahal.”

It was everything about the stone.

“So. You’re saying that the stone you made is called ‘Stone of the Sage?’”

[Ri…..ght! So……please…..kill…..me!]

Yeon-woo sat on top of the ruined Leonte and organized his thoughts.

He had received a lot of information from him.

‘Stone of the Sage. To think that it actually existed.’

It was a magical device that any player who climbed the Tower wanted.

Without breaking, it infinitely supplied magic power, and accomplished miracles.

There were a lot of rumors about the Stone of the Sage.

To the point that even his brother mentioned them.

But his brother had just spoken curtly about it.

Stone of the Sage? If it existed, Allforone would have already cleared the Tower. It’s nonsense.

Other high rankers including his brother were firm in their beliefs that the stone didn’t exist.

There were only rumors about it. No one had actually seen it. If it existed, it would’ve already spread everywhere.

Also.

The trail endlessly gave trials to players, and led them to overcome them. If the stone really existed, everything would be useless.

Even if it did exist, one could only hope for it on the 98th floor where gods and demons lived. It couldn’t be found below the 77th floor. Also, it was thought that no one could make it.

Even if that was the case, some people still took the chance and risked their lives for it.

Alchemists, dark magicians, and other people tried to make the Stone of the Sage, or something that was similar to it.

And of them, Leonte had been the closest.

[With additional information, a part of the hidden qualities is being uncovered.]

[???ed Stone of the Sage]

Category: ???

Rank: ???

Summary: The purest form of energy in the world is a person’s soul. This stone was created in the room the emerald tablet pointed to.

*???

It is not complete. (Sealed)

** This artifact is ‘Unique.’ Only 1 exists in the Tower, and it is binded to its owner. It cannot be given to others.

**This is an incomplete artifact. Please complete the artifact. Then, you will be able to view the sealed information and options.

Information about the stone was still hidden.

But Yeon-woo knew that this was progress.

It was only hard to catch a fish. After that, it became easier to handle it. Once he found a path, progress would be smooth.

‘And I can borrow a part of the dragon knowledge if I need to.’

Yeon-woo narrowed his eyes.

He felt like he understood why Leonte had gone to such lengths to make this magical device.

But he still had some questions.

“But how did you start to make this? You wouldn’t have known about it?”

He was curious about where Leonte had received such high-class information.

Others seemed to think it was possible with experimentation. But Yeon-woo didn’t agree.

If this was an item that could be created with trial and error, Red Dragon would’ve made it already.

No, even an alchemy clans and magicians clans would’ve been able to make it.

But Leonte didn’t have the ability to do that.

He didn’t have the skills or talents.

Then just how had he made this?

‘There’s someone behind it. Definitely.’

Yeon-woo thought that someone had pushed Leonte into doing it.

They controlled him behind his back, and would’ve tried to take the result.

‘Of course, he was left empty-handed because of me. He’s probably extremely regretting it right now.’

And Yeon-woo thought that it might be someone he knew.

And as expected.

[That’s…..I stole…..the…..emerald…..tablet…..!]

“Emerald tablet? What’s that?”

Yeon-woo’s eyes sparkled at the word he hadn’t heard of before.

[What Vie…..had…..]

“Vieira? Vieira Dune?”

[Cor…..rect.”

Yeon-woo laughed and clicked his tongue.

“You were played by a witch.”

The witch of stars, Vieira Dune.

She was the chief of the ‘Walpurgisnacht’ clan. [TN: ,near%20the%20town%20of%20Thale. ]

It wasn’t counted in the Eight Clans, but it was still strong.

Also.

‘She was a founding member of Arthia, as well as Jeong-woo’s lover.’

The world knew Vieira Dune’s face.

Sometimes she made a man’s heart beat with her youthful face. And other times, it was seductive, innocent, and helpful, luring it people. She was able to entrance people with her various faces.

But her talent that wasn’t known to the rest of the world, but the Piece of Temptation and Awareness. His brother had realized too late that everyone had been played by her.

Only after he was gone. The truth uncovered.
