With Clara in the passenger seat, we were driving down the empty road towards the ruins.

An alarm appeared that was visible only to Rohan.

[A quest occurs.]

[ Broken Crown Act 3 ]

◇ Quest Content: You have finally found a clue. You can enter the ruins and dig into the truth to see what is at the end of the thread. On the other hand, if you want to be cautious, it is a good idea to return to Academy City as is.

◇ Category: Main Story

◇ Success Reward: 2 random point bags, 10 restaurant reservation tickets

◇ Penalty for failure: None

‘The reward is a bit unusual this time, isn’t it?’

Restaurant reservation tickets are sold at stores for 50P. Rohan has never actually purchased one.

Isn’t this a kind of compensation that tells you to eat something after finishing?

’10 sheets for 500P.’

It’s a shame compared to the reward of transcendence. But it’s something I would have done even if there had been no reward.

I decided to consider it a bonus since they gave me two point pockets.

Rohan took his eyes off the quest and sorted out the situation.

‘Now the main story is coming to an end.’

The Broken Crown can end in Act 3 or progress up to Act 4, depending on the player’s choice.

In Abyss City, the most efficient way is to experience both the 3rd and 4th Act completions to receive all the rewards and goods.

but.

Rohan has no intention of going to Act 4.

Rewards? Of course I want them. I’m satisfied with just giving a lot of points like now, without any special items.

But the more my greed becomes excessive, the more Zion suffers.

‘It ends in Act 3.’

Rohan decided to finish it before the sun rose.

So I try this method.

“Elder Levin Maxwell!”

The real name of the elder, known not only to Zion but also to only a very few among the elders.

I had a real feeling that the attention of the crowd inside the building was focused on me.

“Come out now and obey the orders of the Counter-flow Praise Society!”

What Rohan is aiming for is impersonation based on overwhelming information.

If an adversary appears who knows information that should not have been exposed to the outside world, that party cannot act indiscriminately either.

The old people over there only receive one-sided notifications from the Reflux Praise Society. They don’t even have a way to contact them.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

An elf, presumably middle-aged, walked out.

The atmosphere is polite yet wary towards Rohan and Clara.

“···Who are you?”

“We are the messengers of Hex.”

“!!!”

“Even if you are ignorant, you are still arrogant. I called the elder, not you.”

Sreung!

Rohan pulled out the sword hanging from his back.

The elf froze in tension as he let out a murderous blast that could have ripped his neck off at any moment.

Rohan strode to the entrance with an annoyed expression on his face, sword in hand, and Clara followed quietly behind him.

Fortunately, the traps and security skills were not activated, so Rohan felt relieved and grabbed the elf with the intention of breaking his neck.

“I personally mentioned the reflux praise society. Do you still act like this after hearing that name?”

“Ugh! Sorry···!”

“Is this something that can be ended with just one word of apology?”

An apology that comes naturally to Rohan’s confidence. He doesn’t even protest.

Power is so sweet that everyone goes crazy for it.

When Rohan showed signs of wanting to kill him by infusing magic into his sword,

An urgent voice was heard from the entrance.

“I’m sorry. This old man is slow to walk, so I sent him to make you wait. Will you forgive me···.”

Rohan’s head moved, pretending to be indifferent.

‘come.’

What catches the eye is an old elf who looks like he could turn into a tree at any moment.

An old man with a hunched back, accompanied by elders, came out, wearing a gorgeous robe that trailed on the floor and carrying a staff decorated with jewels.

Rohan, who had encountered his target, calmed his mind so as not to be shaken.

He continues to act calmly.

Outwardly, the elves in front of him showed no sign of dissatisfaction.

“Are you Levin Maxwell?”

“Yes, I am Elder Levin Maxwell.”

Did they already judge it to be real based on things like the reverse praise meeting, coins, and real names?

The attitude is extremely polite.

“Tsk.”

Rohan, who nervously threw away the elf he was holding, clicked his tongue and put his weapon back in its scabbard.

“I will convey Hex’s message. Guide him inside.”

“Yes.”

The elders lower their eyes and open the way to the left and right.

Rohan confidently headed inside, and Clara remained silent in the unknown situation, only following the back in front of her.

Since I can’t understand, I just watch Rohan.

““···.””

Walking through an abandoned building in silence.

Instead of keeping up with the elders’ pace, Rohan moved on his own, telling one of the elders to guide him.

It is absurd for a person from the Countercurrent Praise Society to have courtesy or respect for other groups. I am convinced that these actions are the correct answer.

“Please come inside. This is the conference room.”

Rohan proudly took the top spot without answering.

Put a chair next to Clara and sit her down.

‘Okay. The rest will require some effort.’

The situation is literally a bloodless entry. The quest is already a success.

Now, it is enough to fulfill Rohan’s personal wishes with this situation.

“There you go, you punk.”

“Yes!”

“The mold smells terrible. Are you cleaning it?”

“I’m sorry···!”

Rohan is provoking the elder who has taken upon himself to be his guide.

I sat down in a relaxed position.

Rohan waited for the slow-moving elder to arrive at the conference room.

He traced the words “okay” with his finger on the back of Clara’s hand.

“Hehehe.”

Clara relaxed and raised the corners of her lips at Rohan’s consideration.

He replied to Rohan’s hand, which, unlike his own, had bulging veins.

‘Oppa, your hands are really big···.’

Even after finishing writing, Clara did not let go of Rohan’s hand.

When you make contact like this, doesn’t it definitely bring peace of mind?

Without thinking, Clara placed Rohan’s hand on her thigh and wrapped it with both hands.

The girl felt Rohan flinch and panic as he looked straight ahead.

When Rohan tried to pull his hand away, Clara grabbed him with force. Seeing his reaction, she didn’t want to let go of his hand even more.

“I apologize again for walking so slowly···.”

“No need. Sit down and open your ears.”

At that moment, the elders and the elders came rushing in. Rohan gave up on pulling his hand out and continued acting.

Clara, knowing that it was an act, focused on watching Rohan’s mysterious appearance.

“Levin Maxwell. Do you have the silver of Judah that Hex gave you?”

The exact name. The elder nodded and rummaged through his arms.

He placed a black coin on the table and showed it to Rohan.

Rohan continued his report, leaning back in his chair with his arms crossed.

“Here’s the main point. Hex has found a new vessel. Today, I will decide whether or not to discard the vessel you raised.”

At those words, the elder’s wrinkled eyes lit up.

It’s a face that looks like it was struck by lightning.

“Huh, why is that···?”

“Because I found a bloodline that is more certain than Testarossa to kill the Emperor Seolho. Lord Hex hates paying attention to low possibilities.”

“···.”

“You were just a part of the possibilities. You were just one of many alternatives.”

As Rohan told the story he had made up in a bland manner, the elder’s hand holding the staff began to tremble.

“Then what happens to what I was promised and what happens to us? We only believed Hex-nim’s words and went to Tigrova···!”

“Shut up and listen. That’s why I came today.”

In one word, the elders immediately become quiet.

Rather than holding back angry and surging emotions, it feels like you’re listening because the answer you’ve been waiting for has come.

Just looking at his attitude, I thought he was really rotten.

chin!

Rohan killed Doberman and placed the two silver coins of Judah he had obtained on the table.

If you include the silver coins that the elder has now, it’s three.

A huge organization in the shadows.

It is one of the conditions for becoming officially affiliated with the Countercurrent Praise Society or the Black Hand and receiving protection.

“If I give you two here, you will have three silver coins of Judah. The future will take care of itself.”

“···But as you initially instructed, I put in a silver coin and submitted the request. There are already those who have left for Academy City.”

“They’re going to fail anyway. I saw who they picked. They were chosen poorly.”

The elder remains silent at Rohan’s answer.

One of the elven elders who had recommended Doberman among the list noticed and opened his mouth.

“The results are not out yet.”

“Huh? Am I wrong?”

Rohan jumped up from his seat with a face that said, “I’m so shocked.”

The elder averts his gaze with a resigned expression.

The elder who brought up the subject is one of the last ones who is consumed without even receiving proper information. He does not know in detail who helped the elder and what the reverse praise meeting is.

I just followed along like a bat, riding on the chaos of Tigrova, and that’s how I ended up here.

As Rohan strides towards them, the elders who know about the reverse praise quickly make way.

Fists flew through the open road.

──Bam! White teeth poured out of the elder’s mouth.

“Keuhp···!”

“Don’t spit on my words.”

There was no one to help the elder who was shaking the floor with one punch.

Everyone is just watching.

“Well, good. Now it’s time to judge. Where is Testarossa’s bloodline? Let’s check the blade you guys raised.”

Rohan looked at the elder.

The elder let out a groan and his voice became hoarse.

“Elder. Go and bring him as fast as you can.”

“Ah, I understand···!”

So one of the elders moved quickly, saying that he would bring Zion.

After a while.

Zion, with a bewildered expression, entered the conference room with the elders.

“!?”

I held my breath when I saw Rohan and Clara sitting at the head table.
