Chapter 210 Philosopher’s Stone (3) (1/2)
Brahm rubbed his chin with his hand. His serious eyes seemed to reflect his complicated mind.
“And the way to put attention on Walpurgisnacht?”
The more Yeon-woo continued to speak about the plan, the bigger the smile on Brahm’s face became.
***
Yeon-woo wore his mask and left the room, leaving Sesha with Brahm. It would take a while for him to get used to his body, and Brahm probably had a lot to speak about with Sesha.
Galliard, Phante, and Edora followed right behind him. There was anxiousness in Galliard’s eyes.
“What about Brahm…..?”
He was asking if Brahm’s last moments had been peaceful, not if Brahm was feeling better.
“He’s okay.”

“Sesha’s must’ve…..mm?”
“You’ll see if you enter. Sesha’s sleeping inside so be quiet.”
Galliard looked at Yeon-woo with a questioning face and quickly opened the door.
And he widened his eyes seeing Brahm stroke Sesha’s head.
“B…..!”
“Shh. Didn’t you hear me saying to be quiet?”
Galliard didn’t know what to do because he was so happy, and he returned to Yeon-woo to hug him.
“Thank you. So much.”
Galliard didn’t know what Yeon-woo did. But he knew that Brahm had become healthier, and Sesha had started to laugh again.
After Galliard lost his family to Akasha’s Snake, Brahm and Sesha were basically his family. He had been worried that he might lose them again, but Yeon-woo had saved them.

Yeon-woo patted Galliard’s back, as if telling him it was alright. He and Brahm were similar. Although the two seemed cold, they were actually warm-hearted.
“I’m making a fool of myself at this age.”
Galliard wiped the tears in his eyes and laughed.
Then, he spoke, gripping Yeon-woo’s shoulder.
“Let’s have a drink later. I think we have a lot to talk about.”
“Yes, sir.”
Galliard nodded his head and entered Brahm’s room again.
Yeon-woo just looked at his back. That guy was none other than his brother’s first teacher. He was someone who Yeon-woo planned on never seeing again after learning Shunpo, but Galliard had become more tightly intertwined with him after he protected Yeon-woo’s niece.
If it was that kind of person, Yeon-woo had to give whatever he had.
Then Yeon-woo turned back to look at Phante and Edora, who were blatantly staring at him. Unlike Brahm and Galliard, the two didn’t know about his backstory. He considered whether he should keep it like that, but now, he thought differently.

He could just push it back for later, but that wouldn’t solve the situation.
Yeon-woo realized that he couldn’t be caught in the past anymore.
It was time to roll.
“Phante, Edora.”
“Sup?”
“Yes, Oraboni.”
“I have something to say to you later, so please make some time after I speak with the Guardian.”
Phante and Edora furiously nodded their heads.
Now, it was time to speak with Yvlke. The conversation that they had would probably determine the direction he would take in the future.
Under the mask, Yeon-woo’s eyes hardened.

Just then, a portal opened in front of Yeon-woo.
“Ohyohyohyohyo. Would you like to come over here?”
It was the invitation of a Guardian.
Phante looked a bit surprised, and Edora looked at Yeon-woo with concerned eyes.
Yeon-woo signaled that it was okay and stepped into the portal. As he did, the portal closed, and it suddenly became bright.
It was a quite large room. There was a red carpet on the marble floor, and on the walls, there were all kinds of holy symbols.
Yvlke sat on the table under the crystal chandelier and waved his hand. The table was filled with elegant tea cups.
“I’m definitely more used to seeing you wear a mask. Would you like to sit here?’
Yeon-woo nodded his head and sat on the opposite side of Yvlke.

Yvlke put a cup in front of Yeon-woo and poured some tea for him. The pure scent of flowers stimulated his nose.
The guy looked like a crude goblin, but his mannerisms were more elegant than any other’s.
“Ohyohyohyo. This is made from a rare plant from a planet called Traville. It was made with care, so try some.”
Yeon-woo lifted the cup to his mouth. It really was a clean taste. His fatigue disappeared with a sip. Thanks to that, Yeon-woo was able to look at Yvlke with a fresh mind.
Yvllke asked with a grin.
“How is it?”
“Good.”
“Ohyohyo. That’s a relief. Unlike how you always make us suffer, I’m giving you such nice things. Isn’t this the epitome of a perfect Guardian?”
Yeon-woo ignored Yvlke’s joke and placed the cup back down.
“You said you have something you want to talk about. I hope you get straight to the point.”

“It’s so hard to make jokes with you.”
Yvlke lightly complained and clapped.
Chwak!
As he did, a purple artifact shined in front of Yeon-woo and popped up a hologram.
It was a view of the 23rd floor. It must still have been being restored, because the edges were quickly being readjusted. But there were some sections that failed to be restored.
“As you can see, the fight with Hermes and Agares was quite intense, so the restoration is still incomplete, though the stage was temporarily closed.”
Temporarily closed.
Yeon-woo’s eyes widened. The Tower had been in existence for over thousands of years, but cases like this were rare.
However, that might’ve been something obvious.
The sight that Yeon-woo saw before he passed out couldn’t be called a stage. Doing a trial in such a place was impossible.

“On top of that, most of the players on that stage died, so there are complaints from the clans. All Bureau business has been paused right now. Ohyohyo! The Bureau’s hate for you is quite enormous.”
Yblke stroked his sharp chin and continued.
“Of course, according to the regulations of the Bureau, nothing will be done to you since this was something that happened while you were doing the trial. And we’re partly responsible for not stopping Agares as well. Actually, what some guy did had the most part in it.”
Yeon-woo thought of someone. On the 21st floor, Lupi of Hai had come to him. And there was someone he referenced.
“Laplace?”
The highest Guardian of the 10th floor, Laplace.
Yvlke nodded his head.
“So you’ve noticed. We’re still investigating what that guy was aiming for. Anyways, so what I wanted to say to you was that the Bureau won’t hold you responsible. However, other clans or players could…..”
“They might gain an enmity towards me.”
The Large Clans had paid attention to Brahm since a long time ago. They would’ve noticed why Agares suddenly descended.

At the moment, they were fine because the Bureau was protecting them, but when Yvlke left, they would move as one. Since Sesha was here, Yeon-woo had to protect them no matter what. Yvlke was warning him about this.
