What is required to complete the guild certification process is the return of the owner of the standby guild.

This was no different from a signal that informed that Seong Ji-han had returned.

Although the current situation of the decline of the guild is unfortunate.

If I went out here for nothing, there would be no point in using the Phantasm.

‘Instead, I’ll have to use Kim Ji-hoon’s body to help indirectly.’

As for the terms of the contract, it was only necessary to match the assortment properly.

Seong Ji-han thought so, and received guidance from Lee Ha-yeon to the end of the guild.

‘Still, I don’t think there are still a few players who have been loaned out for growth. Why did it fall like this?’

A standby guild that swept all the money in the world during its heyday.

Looking at the atmosphere while still receiving guidance from the guild, there were not a few players on loan for growth.

If you get money from them, no matter how half-elves the era has become.

With that capital, recruitment would have been possible.

Seong Ji-han, who was looking at the guild with such a question.

“This is a space used as a guild storage… … Would you like to come in here too?”

“A warehouse?”

“yes.”

Looking at the room Lee Ha-yeon pointed at, her eyes twinkled.

‘here… … It must have been a space that was prepared as the owner’s room in the past.’

Seong Ji-han, who had created a waiting guild, but had never been to the guild building.

Still, since he was the owner, Lee Ha-yeon arranged for him the best room in the waiting guild.

But this place has been turned into a warehouse.

“Can I have a look?”

“Sure.”

Beep.

The door opens when Lee Ha-yeon puts her card.

Seong Ji-han followed her into the owner’s room, which became a warehouse.

Then there.

‘… … what.’

The walls were covered with posters showing Seong Ji-han’s face.

-Record erasure, this should not happen.

– Do you believe them even after being beaten by the world tree elves?

– He will definitely come back.

And under the picture, letters written in large letters.

Many of the murals were written in foreign languages ​​rather than Korean.

All of them oppose Seong Ji-han’s record erasure.

‘At that time, the waiting guild used its strength from the opposite position.’

Sung Ji-han felt a strange feeling and quickly looked around the inside.

Documents scattered on the ground.

In one of the documents, the advertising budget that was executed to reject Yggdrasil’s proposal was measured.

‘I wonder why all the money disappeared… … .’

To prevent Seong Ji-han from being sentenced to death, you spent all your money on public opinion.

Let him stare at the paper on the floor like that.

“Ah, maybe that letter… … Do you know what that means?”

“You mean what is written on this paper?”

“Yes, because you looked closely at the indecipherable characters.”

Swoop.

Sung Ji-han picked up the paper next to him and looked at it.

American First’s Lease Revocation Document.

He stared at the contents of the contract, which was in sharp contrast with the US position that he should live for now.

He shook his head slowly.

“no. I don’t know, this.”

“ah… … yes.”

“More than that, what is Yangju?”

in the middle of the warehouse.

Let’s point to the half-empty liquor and snack bags.

“no… … also… … .”

Looking at this, Lim Ga-young sighed and bowed her head to Lee Ha-yeon.

“sorry! miss. Even though there are many bars in this building, I dared to come to this warehouse and have a drink! I couldn’t even clean it up.”

“Oh, oh my… … that, right? Don’t do that next time.”

Lee Ha-yeon, whose face turned red, waved her hand saying that she was okay.

“Forgive me, really, really! thank you.”

Lim Ga-young emphasized the truth with a face that said she was not sorry at all.

As you can see, Lee Ha-yeon took over herself.

‘But why are you drinking in the warehouse?’

Seong Ji-han had doubts for a while.

“Well, then… … Shall we leave now?”

When Lee Ha-yeon told her to leave immediately, she nodded her head politely.

I’ll see you in the warehouse, because there’s nothing more.

Seong Ji-han, who came out of the room like that, opened the door.

“The guild is nice.”

“Go, thank you.”

“yes. I especially like the option to increase the growth rate. Could you tell me the terms of the contract while I’m at the Government General Office?”

Lee Ha-yeon blinked at those words.

For a male half-elf, the increased growth rate is honestly an unnecessary option.

you like this?

‘… … It’s like the fact that I didn’t have plastic surgery before the exam. Actually, you don’t know much about this side?’

Lee Ha-yeon couldn’t help but think that way.

“Ah, I see.”

“Then I want to go to the Government General’s Office now.”

“Yes, then, right away, knight… … .”

She was about to call the driver, but changed her mind.

“No, we’ll take it ourselves.”

“The guild master himself?”

“Yes, a noble person has come, of course I have to do that.”

After going to the Government General Office, I’m afraid I’ll be scouted by another guild there.

‘They seem to be in a hurry.’

Well, I had no intention of going anywhere else anyway.

If Lee Ha-yeon marks herself, other guilds won’t rush to make suggestions.

Sung Ji-han nodded slowly at her suggestion.

“All right. You do.”

“yes. Let’s go, Gayoung.”

“Yes, I will prepare right away.”

The three went to the parking lot like that.

I took a parked luxury sedan and moved to the Government General Office on Namsan Mountain.

And in the car on the way to the destination, Lee Ha-yeon had a conversation with Kim Ji-hoon.

‘This person is not someone who doesn’t know the world. rather… … I think I know everything.’

I instinctively felt that Kim Ji-hoon was a formidable person.

Against him, if you use nonsense for nothing, you will be wrong.

Based on her experience of meeting many people in the industry, she decided that.

“… … So in fact, male half-elves are passive in their game play. Even if you sleep, your level goes up.”

“That word.”

“Our guild’s growth rate increase attribute may not have a great effect on half-elves.”

I spoke frankly.

“I know that.”

“Do you know?”

“Yes, because it is a fact that can be found with just a quick search on the Internet.”

“But why… … .”

“I have a fan heart. There is something I want to test about the growth rate.”

“ah… … .”

You came even knowing everything.

Lee Ha-yeon felt at ease with that answer.

If this was the case, it meant that he would choose the standby guild at all costs.

“Im here.”

profit.

When the car parked, Kim Ji-hoon got out of his seat and said.

“Please set the terms of the contract only moderately. Then let’s proceed.”

“ah… … yes Then we’ll be waiting for you here!”

“You don’t know when the close inspection will be over?”

“I will wait even if it takes several days!”

At Lee Ha-yeon’s answer, which was full of spirit, Kim Ji-hoon smiled.

“All right. Come and go.”

That’s how Kim Ji-hun entered the Government General’s office.

Lee Ha-yeon pulled her cheek.

“this… … Is it real?”

“It feels like a dream to me too, lady. A male half-elf who knows everything is coming to join the guild.”

“But you said that, but the terms of the contract should be drawn out as much as possible, right?”

“yes. Even if we set it to our best, isn’t it at a ‘appropriate’ level by other guild standards?”

“That’s right.”

A male half-elf with 20% fitness would try to recruit them with a blank check.

For the standby guild, which was not financially well-off, even if they did their best, only lower-than-average proposals were possible compared to them.

“… … Let’s pull it out as much as possible.”

Lee Ha-yeon, with a serious face, pondered over the terms of the contract to be presented when Kim Ji-hoon returned.

Meanwhile.

Seong Ji-han, who entered the Government General under the shell of Kim Ji-hoon.

“Come over here.”

Guided by the elves, I stood in front of the World Tree-shaped Government General.

* * *

A huge tree with more overwhelming majesty than the previous Namsan Tower.

Seeing the World Tree Elf’s Governor-General, Seong Ji-han thought.

‘this… … Is it just the world? That’s pretty high-grade too.’

Compared to the World Trees I had seen before, the government-general was definitely larger.

Judging from the overwhelming flow of life energy, it seemed that space beast Yggdrasil was very concerned.

‘But how do I get in here?’

When Seong Ji-han looked at the Government General like that.

“Now we begin the detailed examination.”

A green light flashed from the body of the elf priest who came out to greet him.

OK.

Dudududu… … .

From Seong Ji-han’s feet, greenish roots rose up and began to wrap around his body.

Kwaaaak.

And when the roots completely wrapped around Seongjihan’s body.

The elven priest who was looking at this calmly continued his words.

“Relax, calmly accept the energy of the World Tree.”

Ssssss… … .

Then the roots start to shine.

Let’s unleash our strength as Sung Ji-han instructed.

Kurur… … !

The roots dragged him into the ground.

How many minutes did you move like that?

Took… … .

Kim Ji-hoon’s body fell into the dark space.

“Um… … .”

So if you look too casual.

Sung Ji-han groaned moderately and stood up from his seat.

And when he tries to look around.

flash… … !

Inside the distant space, green letters began to emerge.

[Inspection begins.]

[Testing the acceptability of blue.]

[Rechecking the suitability of the blue sword. Currently 20 percent.]

The text of the world tree elves that humans cannot read.

However, Sacred Jihan, who also possessed the power of red, was able to interpret these words.

‘I understand the close inspection and acceptance… … What is a blue sword?’

If you look at the 20 percent fit.

Same as male half-elves.

Could it be that these guys refer to male half-elves as blue swords?

When Seong Ji-han thought so.

woo woo woo… … .

into this space.

Blue smoke began to rise.

‘This… … It’s a deformed blue ear.’

Smoke that can be absorbed by breathing alone.

Are you testing how much you can make this your own?

‘If I deviate too much from the average, I’ll get suspicious.’

Seong Ji-han, who thought so, waited without intervening in Kim Ji-hoon’s body.

OK.

Ssssss… … .

The blue that permeated through his nose, mouth, and further into his skin slowly entered Kim Ji-hoon’s body.

leaked out again.

‘Without my involvement, it’s definitely not absorbed.’

That’s how Kim Ji-hoon’s shell rejected the request.

As if the test was not over this time, blue smoke came out again.

This will take quite a while to finish.

‘In the meantime, I’ll have to look around.’

Inside the shell, the holy one who contemplates the outside.

He slowly inspected the inside of this world tree, completely hiding the blue manager’s face.

OK.

From a place quite far from here, the voices of the elves came.

“… … I was wondering if there was an unusual case, but it seems that this blue knight is no different.”

“Anyway, please proceed with the overhaul as scheduled.”

“yes.”

“How far did the roots of the World Tree extend?”

“We have taken control of 82 percent of the planet.”

“To 100 percent, it will take about a year.”

The elven priests were having a conversation while watching Kim Ji-hoon’s test results.

Among them, the elf priest in the middle had blond hair and green hair, and he looked quite high-ranking.

“Yggdrasil told me to change the system if the suitability of the blue sword is no longer renewed for one year.”

“If the system is to change… … .”

“If the limit of fitness that can be drawn into a peaceful system is 25%.”

shit.

The elf priest raised an eyebrow.

“Through oppression, we must give them fear.”

“Finally permission to slaughter… … !”

“No, your stepping out will be the last step.”

“ah… … All right.”

At the high priest’s words, the elven priests clearly looked disappointed.

Sung Ji-han watched it and thought.

‘As expected of the elves. I wonder why they rule peacefully, but they don’t go anywhere.’

At first, try to pull out fitness while ruling peacefully.

If the score is not updated anymore, is it to seek a new direction by switching the governance system?

When Seong Ji-han was eavesdropping on their plans.

“Before the manager in red wakes up, the blue sword must be completed. The prospective owner of the arena is away, so check the seal as well.”

“All right.”

The high-ranking priest was instructing the elves to look at Washington while Yoon Se-ah was gone.

‘… … Why is the manager in red here? these guys Did you really predict that the manager in red would win in the end in Washington?’

This, somehow, seemed like the manager of green thought Jihan Seong would lose in Heavennet.

‘hmm.’

Seong Ji-han felt displeased for a moment, thinking that Yggdrasil looked down on him.

‘That illusion… … I’ll have to use it in reverse.’

Soon, I thought of a way to use this situation.
