SSS-Class Ranker Return

Chapter 368

Morteron’s Grief (2)

one day, two days. The work did not begin with this level of preparation.

Lokan gathered all the information he could gather about the pure Elyos.

I have a few spoons in the house and they dig deep enough to even tell what the color of the panties are.

And in the process, he was able to recall what he had forgotten for a while.

“It’s Moteron… … . Orb of grudge?”

It’s about the moteron.

In fact, I didn’t investigate it separately because I had forgotten about it, but the name was mentioned by chance while investigating the faction on the emperor’s side and the faction that opposes it.

To be precise, it wasn’t even an investigation into each faction. Strictly speaking, while trying to figure out the power structure of the pure Elyos, the name came out of nowhere.

“Taluba?”

A pure Elyos Taluva who is in charge of the lecture on the subject of the history of the gods.

He was responsible for teaching the general Elyos about the greatness and specialness of the Celestial Gods, as well as the battle with demons.

Ordinary pure Elyos do not like to even talk with ordinary Elyos, but this guy especially enjoyed it.

Should he say, exactly, that he enjoys being squashed and supported in front of ordinary Elyos?

He is a historian of sorts, and his combat power is poor, so he may enjoy it more.

So, what does this have to do with Moteron?

Ironically, most of the lectures given by Talubara are consistent with what Moteron did in the past.

materials and lectures. They repeat the same story like a parrot, but have no opinions or arguments at all.

Nevertheless, he said that the influence of the guy was quite strong.

He is in a position to teach the general Elyos as if he were brainwashing them, so it may be natural, but his influence has grown through ‘something’.

“Is this because of Morteron’s death?”

[Moteron’s Grudge 2][Quest]

Let’s release the resentment of Morteron, an Elyos archaeologist who suffered an unfair death.

-Success Conditions: Death Investigation of Elyos Archaeologist Morteron 0 / 1

-Success Reward: ???

-Failure penalty: None (nullifies the curse)

After Moteron’s death, he not only took over all of his positions, but also received full support and exerted a greater influence than Moteron while he was alive.

Just looking at it, isn’t it strange?

He thought that it smelled stinky, and when he looked at the quest window, the contents of the quest had been slightly updated. It has moved on to the next step.

“Hmm, should I dig this up?”

But Lokan was worried.

He didn’t figure it out intentionally, so he wondered if he really needed to be bitten by this.

There was not enough time to investigate the imperial faction and the anti-emperor faction right now.

In the meantime, perform a quest that you do not know what the reward is or how many stages are connected? It was highly likely to be a waste of time.

“… … uh?”Because of this, something came into Lokan’s eyes, who had put aside his thoughts on Moteron for a while and concentrated on analyzing information again.

The night of Moteron’s death, traces of the secret movement of the Emperor’s Guard were discovered.

It is stated that he does not know where he is going, but it subtly coincided with the time when Moteron was attacked by a monster and died.

Moreover, it was strange that Moteron, who was living in the middle of the city, died without even knowing it while holding it.

Wasn’t Moteron a fairly powerful knight himself? The fact that such a person died without even announcing his death without even resisting allows us to make several hypotheses.

Some more powerful being intervened, or the information was manipulated to make it unknown and the surroundings were controlled.

“Maybe it could be both.”

Here, Lokan was interested.

If the Emperor’s Guards were directly dispatched to assassinate, wouldn’t that mean that something Moteron had was a threat to them?

If you could figure out what it was, it would certainly help a lot in creating a riot.

Of course, the moment you get it, there will be a risk of killing and intimidation as it did with Moteron, but when did the Elyos never do that to you?

Lokan didn’t care at all.

First, he decided to check what he was holding.

“Thank you.”

“Ahem.”

Lokan immediately went to the place where Taluva was working.

An educational institution for general Elyos. There Taluva reigned almost like a king.

Although it is not a place that only teaches the history of the Elyos, it boasts unparalleled power and does not greet any ordinary Elyos.

It was so pathetic that I thought about just grabbing it and then smashing it, but for now I put up with it. Because the secret is likely to be at home.

“Stealth.”

Rokhan waited patiently and followed Taluva back home.

The level of Taluva and the guards was also quite high, so there was a risk of being discovered by stealth, but there were plenty of equipment with high-level stealth skills in Heaven.

I changed one of the accessories to ‘the majesty of the shadow lord’ and melted it inside.

‘That’s a lot of money.’

A mansion like this in the middle of every capital city? As a historian who did not even reach level 400, it felt excessively strong.

Expensive statues and paintings appeared even while passing through the hallway, and the more you did it, the more certain that there was some kind of transaction.

What kind of secret gave it such wealth?

It’s about the history of the gods. It’s a kind that any priest of the gods can know and teach, even if you’re not a historian, so it was clear that something additional was hidden.

‘Which one… … .’

slurp.

Lokan, who infiltrated the inside of the mansion while being immersed in various thoughts, began to scan the surroundings to find the secret he was hiding. Bedroom, kitchen, storage, and study.

‘After all, if it’s a secret passage… … .’

saraak.

Among them, he paid special attention to the study.

In this case, isn’t it often the case that a secret door is installed in the library? When you pull out a book or put it in, a secret space appears.

‘It’s too much.’

As I entered the library, I saw that, like a historian, there were enough hundreds of books in the room.

The problem is that we don’t even know if any of these books are related to Moteron’s death. The same goes for the existence of a secret space.

But what can I do, I have no choice but to find it for now.

‘Huh?’

While flipping through the pages as soon as he picked it up, Lokan found traces of Moteron.

Books with his name on it.

Most of the books in Taluva’s collection were originally owned by Moteron.

This confirmed the relationship between the two.

‘Are you going to finish this today?’

Lokan, who was quickly flipping through the pages, felt annoyed.

When are you going to go through all these books?

In fact, even if you look all over, you can’t tell if there’s anything you’re looking for. Can’t you just put something so important on your bookshelf?

Of course, there are cases where he avoids doubts by mixing important things with similar things, so he’s lagging behind, but after watching, Taluva wasn’t such a detailed character.

‘Ah?’

Then, suddenly, I remembered something I had forgotten.

There was no need to go through so much trouble in the first place.

pinger.

“Damn it. Weren’t you here?”

The compass of desire. Holding it, longing for a clue related to Morteron’s death, the compass needle pointed somewhere.

First of all, it wasn’t a book.

‘Hmm… … .’

It was difficult to make a detailed search with the compass of desire that only gives direction. Whether it’s on the 1st or 2nd floor, if it’s in the same location, it just rotates in place, so it’s difficult to confirm.

In addition, even if you were in a place where you had to move using the secret passage, it was difficult to rotate in place where the final target was.

‘Maybe this… … .’

However, something was strange in this case. A target that should normally be fixed in one position is constantly moving.

At first he thought he was changing because he was moving, but seeing him change direction from time to time even when he was still, Lokan felt strange.

Are there any living clues about Morteron’s death?

‘uh… … . Is that so?’

Lokan, who was constantly moving while tilting his head, was convinced when he saw the compass of desire swish.

The moment the compass moved, Taluva passed her own.

That means either the guy has a clue or the guy itself is a clue.

“It would be simpler if this were the case.”

👌👌👌👌

At that moment, a thick chain stretched out from Rokhan.Without even reacting, he covered Taluva’s body and mouth and suppressed it. Then he threw it like a tossing it into her room.

“Nightmare.”

I can’t even ask for help because her mouth is blocked. But if you release him to search his body, he’ll scream at any moment.

At the very least, he didn’t even reach level 400, so he wouldn’t think that he could escape from Lokan on his own or win, and he would try to ask for help somehow.

So Lokan made a different move.

Just use Nightmare.

As nightmares and fantasies engulfed the nightmare, his eyes filled with whites and his mouth wide open.

As the Nightmare passed level 400, there was no way he could resist.

👌👌👌👌👌

It was then that Rokhan released the chains that held him down.

He doesn’t have a hobby of looking at the body of a man, but he has no choice but to start searching for the body of the man who stood there blankly.

“Hmm, is this?”

From clothes to accessories such as rings and necklaces. All other belongings were stolen.

And he picked up some that seemed the most potent.

[Ancient Ring][Unique]

An unknown ring engraved with ancient patterns.

-???

Doesn’t it just look award-winning?

A guy who likes to dress up like that is wearing a piece of dubious option with only question marks all over it?

It’s funny considering that the rest of the items are all for self-defense.

“Hey! not me. I didn’t kill him! I just report… … . No, you are wrong! shouldn’t know… … . So you’re wrong!”

At that moment, Taluva suddenly squeaked and shouted. While watching the nightmare fantasy, he began to defend himself as if terrified.

She prayed first, then blamed the other person.

He didn’t know what the nightmare he was seeing, but he somehow seemed to know.

Perhaps something related to Morteron’s death.

So Rokhan pricked up his ears and recorded what he was saying.

I don’t know what the key to this ring could be, but right now, every word will be a hint.

“Taluba-sama!”

At that moment, the guards slammed the door open and entered. Surprised by Taluva’s sudden shout, he hurriedly ran.

“Hey, not there!”

“… … Are you sleeping here?”

Drooling, pooh!

However, what they encountered was the figure of Taluva, leaning over as if tired and falling asleep.

At that time, Lokan, who used stealth to get out of the mansion, was running somewhere.

The direction in which the compass of desire began to point.

There must have been a secret hidden there that could be opened using this seal.
