The Blacksmiths of Kuruso heard disturbing rumors.
“Apparently Daymond’s army seized the Nopunem Plains.”
“So one twentieth of the the Versailles continent is their territory?”
“It’s not wrong to say they’ve currently prepared the greatest power. After conquering Isoru Kingdom, new Demonic Spirits have continuously been born, so the size of their army kept getting bigger as they go.”
“It’s really scary.”
Weed overheard this as he was creating accessories.
As a matter of fact, the selling price of items had sky-rocketed. As the Resurrection Church wholeheartedly attacked, the Knights of the Versailles Continent did not spare any money in order to protect themselves.
However, on the level of the Union there were worries.
The logic of holding the increasingly powerful Resurrection Army in check was gradually gathering strength. However, the war between every power hadn’t yet ceased, and on the basis of the increasing prices, only the Dark Gamers were enjoying the special occasion.
‘The Resurrection Army. Tch, what should be done.’
Weed had also seen the images of the Resurrection Army through the broadcasts.
The army of Demonic Spirits that couldn’t just be expressed as “incredible”!
The Resurrection army had grown strong enough to trample the whole might of a Kingdom.
Daymond guaranteed the safety of undefiant, ordinary users and tourists who happened to be enjoying a break. Thanks to that, they were able to receive broadcasted images of the areas seized by the Resurrection Army.
The temple resembled a Demonic Spirit holding a sickle, while riding a horse! That was the massive temple the Resurrection Army was making.
The problem was that the shape of this temple was very familiar to Weed.
‘The sculpture Death Hand left behind was like that…’
He began to doubt that it was possibly a chain quest.
It could be an item necessary for Daymond’s quest, or on the flip side it could be a quest to stop them. No matter which side it was, there was no doubt that it was related.
‘The problem is… Should I receive this quest, or not.’
If we accepted the quest, there could be another incredibly difficult fight.
So Weed debated on this as he made crafts.
‘Should I just sell this off and be done with it.’
Even though he wanted to sell the sculpture, if the sculpting skill wasn’t high enough, or even a little lacking, it was an item that couldn’t be used, so the problem was that he wouldn’t be able to find a buyer.
Chapter 11: Dain’s Wait
Director Kim Han Seo was looking at Yoo Byung Jun — his teacher, the genuine genius scientist who was sent by the heavens.
The whitish centered lines on his head, red bloodshot eyes, and thick eyeglasses.
Though that was the stressed-looking Yoo Byung Jun, his brains were at a level where he could be called a genius.
‘Though the world knows that Royal Road was made together by me and 17 other scientists…’
Director Kim Han Seo lightly shook his head.
There was many differences to the truth than what the public knew.
‘In truth, the concept came from teacher, and he also developed the core technology. The other scientists and I did nothing more than simply flesh out the framework that teacher made.’
For Director Kim Han Seo and the other scientists, it was daunting just to do the parts they were responsible for.
There were many times when the reputedly impossibleperfect Virtual Reality Systemwas considered a fantasy. There had been dozens of times when he’d gotten up from bed in the morning after having a nightmare about failure.
Every time they were stopped at their tracks, Yoo Byung Jun stepped in to help them, and the person who understood the whole system was also him.
Although the other scientists including Director Kim Han Seo were able to generally manage Versailles for the sake of their tasks, their powers were limited.
Being careful to stifle his footsteps, Director Kim Han Seo stopped in front of Yoo Byung Jun.
“I have returned.”
“Yes, good job. What were the kids at the office saying?”
“Yes. They were being very concerned about the Resurrection Army.”
“Keke. I supposed so.”
“In particular, the Strategy Management’s Department Head Son Il Kang was complaining that he has to work overtime every day.”
“Kekeke.”
Yoo Byung Jun just laughed like as if he had already expected it.
“The user named Daymond, what do you think of him, teacher?”
“Let’s see. Well, he’s not bad.”
Byung Yoo Jun responded dissatisfactory.
“The Resurrection Army quest… Well, an incredible amount of power can be gained from that commission.”
The scientists who handled the main console in the System Management Department cocked their ears to listen in on this particular conversation.
Yoo Byung Jun was a scientist who transcended intelligence itself and secluded himself without revealing himself to the world.
It was just that the outside world didn’t know, but in reality, Yoo Byung Jun had taken on the role of leading everyone.
But what truly shocked the scientists and raised goosebumps, was the might of the Versailles’ Goddess. Without any defects, they didn’t even need to intervene with things modified by artificial interventions.
It was the super AI that perfectly regulated Royal Road since its release, a fearsome system that could even be called a true Goddess.
And it wasn’t just Royal Road; it even controlled related executive affairs of the Unicorn Corporation. Even at that extent, the Versailles’ Goddess was only using 20 % of its administrative resources.
For the scientists, it was a feat that was undisputedly extraordinary.
If someone was told that this system had been developed by just 1 scientist, they would never have believed it. This was the judgment of the scientists who knew Yoo Byung Jun.
— A scientist that cannot be replaced by ten million of mankind.
— He is a scientist who would have been able to advance the world’s technology by 30 years, had he produced anything besides Royal Road.
He was a person that the scientists could only respect and regard as marvelous, to the point that even being a contemporary of Yoo Byung Jun was a source of pride for them.
“Greed ruined their work. Although they’ve been on a roll since they’re using petty tricks… Later on they’ll make more enemies.”
There were no scientists who doubted Yoo Byung Jun’s words.
The words of the genius of the century have never been wrong. If he said that was so, then at some point it would become like that. And for the scientists who knew about the prearranged quest and the hidden dangers throughout the Versailles’s Goddess, they did not feel that the Resurrection Army was truly a crisis.
Royal Road was a great Virtual Reality.
As complicated as the applied technology, there were stories hidden throughout the continent, and the histories were innumerable.
The scientists knew the adventurers who were hiding and raising their strength, what the level of the warriors were, what quests were in progress, and they found no reason to be tense.
With a continent that was too wide, and an incredibly large number of users that could be called the virtual social integration of humanity, the scientists put beaming smiles on their faces.
Although they had participated in the development, Royal Road was a truly fun virtual reality. After the release of Royal Road, there was even a report that humanity’s happiness had gone up by at least 40 %.
With the pride that they had opened the doors to a new world, the scientists returned to their own duties.
