The treasures of the elves were quite valuable.
As Aria told me before, they had powerful weapons made by the dwarves long ago.
But that wasn't what Pelas wanted.
something like that
Of course, that is not to say that they are of low quality.
The reason why the desired series was called cost-effective was because of the dwarves' technical skills.
If it were not for the dwarves' weapons, the status of the desired series would have risen further.
However, in the current situation, even the dwarves' weapons were 'something like that' to Pelas.
'There is a hidden skill, but I can't miss it!'
Pelas sighed as he followed Jaquel.
* * *
Kikiiik... Kung!!
The sound of a huge, heavy door opening.
The drawing room of Jaquel, the king of the elves, was so small that it was incomparably smaller than that of the Dimeo family.
However, the royal arsenal, which had hundreds of years of history, was incomparable to that of the Dimeo family in a different sense.
It's literally an eye-opening scale.
And treasures filled around the huge room.
In addition, there were no items that did not attract attention one by one.
For a moment, Pelas's heart swayed.
'Should I just take that one?'
Pelas was stunned at his momentary thought.
'Crazy, crazy. How can you get lost in an item like that!'
He took a deep breath in and exhaled slowly.
Jackel smiled heartily at him.
"How about it? Items."
"It's so amazing. I'm so surprised that I'm taking a deep breath now."
"Mm! This is the power that keeps us elves at peace. Welcome to its midst. It's the first time in hundreds of years."
"It's such an honor."
"No. If you received help, you have to pay it back. Besides, you're the one who saved the lives of dozens of elves, not just one or two. This should be enough."
"thank you."
"Only one! Choose whatever you want. I'll give you anything. There is an elf law, so even the smallest thing has to be only one. Keep that in mind."
Pelas nodded.
I knew it well.
I knew it painfully.
That you have to choose just one of these many treasures.
'It would be really nice if I could only choose two.'
Pelas swallowed the words in his heart and answered Jaquel.
"Just one. I'll keep that in mind."
"Yes. Well, take your time and choose comfortably. It will take time to see them all. I will vacate your seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
This is how elves look to those who believe.
Of course, the gatekeepers remained outside the door, but their faith was enough to keep them away even with this enormous treasure.
Those who believed once, elves were literally believers to the end.
That's why an alliance with them was useful even if it wasn't necessarily an item here.
Jaquel nodded and led the attendants out of the warehouse.
Watching them disappear, Pelas untied his wrists.
"Should we start working hard from now on?"

Easter Egg.
Programmers hiding special elements within their programs.
These attempts were commonplace.
It was the same in the world of games.
In some games, the picture pops out of nowhere just to startle the player.
Also, in some games, if you enter a specific command, a hidden powerful character appears.
'Every Winter War had an Easter egg. Without missing a single series.'
Even the Winter War series had several easter eggs in each side.
Even the first series, Winter War 1, was one of the games with such a large world view, so there were rumors circulating through the community that Easter eggs had not yet been discovered.
In fact, new Easter eggs popped up from time to time, so it wasn't a hopeless story.
Even if it was already revealed to someone, it was the same thing that the world would not be revealed if the user who discovered it hid it.
And Pelas had one such memory in his previous life.
No, to be precise, it was an Easter egg that people already knew about because it had been discovered.
However, it was an Easter egg that no one has yet figured out at what moment it will be activated.
The memory Pelas had was a bug that triggered that Easter egg.
'I couldn't reveal this and my previous life ended.'
Pellas picked up a gold coin, recalling a memory right before he died in his previous life.
A bug that forcibly activates an Easter egg that only he knew about.
One day, it caught me and uploaded it to You Tube and tried to get a lot of views.
That was this bug that Pelas was trying to do right now.
Besides, the skills he could get from this easter egg he knew were too full of temptation to pass by.
[Invisible Grab]
- Pours a large amount of mana and grabs the target with telekinesis.
-Invisible Grab grabs the target with twice the strength of the player's Strength stat.
Simply put, a grab-type crowd control skill.
This was the easter egg skill in Winter War 3 that Pellas was trying to acquire.
Invisible Grab is a skill that cannot be acquired no matter what you do during the story.
It was a skill that could only be obtained by activating an Easter egg in this elven land.
Although there was a weakness that only the grabbing motion was possible, it was still a valuable skill.
When I first discovered this bug, I remembered jumping and jumping for joy in my previous life.
'If I had just uploaded that, it would have been the first time in the world... Jeep. Too bad. No, well, there's nothing to regret now.'
Of course, that doesn't mean that Invisible Grab has only advantages.
Invisible Grab, as the skill explained, consumed a lot of mana.
At most, 3 seconds was the limit.
However, depending on how you use it, it was a really useful skill.
It was a life-or-death battle for the situation to change in 0.1 second increments.
What if you can't move for 3 seconds in that situation?
'Those who are about the size of Tiberaz are just quick!'
As such, crowd control was a skill that could change the outcome of a battle to the exact opposite in just three seconds.
How to get such an invisible grab with 100% probability.
If it had only been uploaded, it would have pulled out an overwhelming number of views.
Of course, on the other hand, it also meant that the current Fellas could see how useful that skill would be.
And to get it, Pelas started laboring.
Clink..... Clink... Clink...
Tossed a gold coin, then picked it up again.
Tossed again, picked up again.
Pelas crouched down and began repeating the action.
This stupid-looking action was a bug job that triggered an easter egg.
Originally, this elven arsenal of easter eggs was not the sort of thing one could intentionally pull out.
If you play hundreds or thousands of times, it happens luckily.
'The problem is that I'm too lucky.'
It was.
Was it because it was a really powerful skill if used well?
It was not easy to meet the Invisible Grab.
Pelas from the previous life too.
So he was the one who researched the method.
A way to forcibly acquire the Invisible Grab.
The time spent in this space alone would amount to a thousand hours.
'I'm glad I figured it out right before I gave up.'
An Easter egg forced acquisition method that even Pelas almost gave up on figuring out.
Of course, even what he discovered was not simple.
But I was able to make sure it was activated.
After picking up gold coins, do you decide with this item? To the question, he said no and canceled.
Then pick up the gold coin again, and repeat the previous pattern.
'If I repeat this damn coin toss about 65535 times...'
In fact, if you're lucky, you could get the Invisible Grab right away without tossing a coin like this.
But how easy is that?
Besides, until the end of the story, there is only one chance to enter this royal arsenal of elves.
However, with this repeated labor, the Easter egg was able to succeed with a 100% probability.
Pelas thought as he picked up the gold coin again.
'I never thought I'd do this crazy thing again... that's actually...'
Clink..... Clink... Clink...
* * *
"Why is that person doing that?"
"Well... Humans know it, but I don't know."
The gatekeepers guarding the royal arsenal glanced inside and whispered.
If you're greedy for an item, you'll look around, crouch down in the middle of the floor, pick up a gold coin, throw it, pick it up, throw it again, pick it up again.
He didn't seem like a sane person.
"That human caught a troll?"
"Uh. That's right. He even blocked the troll's fist by himself to save his comrades?"
The face of the other party who heard that was full of surprise.
"Is that possible?"
"There are many people who have seen it. Even His Majesty has seen it."
"It's amazing... but what happened to your head while blocking the troll's fist?"
"Tsk tsk. It could be. If not, does that make sense?"
The two elves shook their heads with pitiful expressions.
But that sad face didn't last long.
eight hours later.
They were each mumbling with their ears plugged.
"I can't! I'm going to go crazy listening to the coin toss anymore! I'm going to kill him!!"
As one gatekeeper tried to pull out his sword, the gatekeeper next to him hurriedly stopped him.
"Hey! Wake up! That's His Majesty's benefactor! If you kill him, your head will be blown off!"
"Then what? I think I'm going crazy even now!"
"Be patient. It's shift time soon."
"Turn it off...!!"
Two new shifts approaching just in time.
They looked at the two gatekeepers who were blocking their ears in front of the door, and looked puzzled.
"Hey. Why are you doing that?"
"I see? What are you doing?"
The gatekeeper who saw the two shifts shouted.
"What are you doing if you're not coming soon! Ask for a shift! Right now!!"
"Uh, uh? Oh, okay. Why are you so angry?"
"I don't know! If you're curious, did you stand there and look?"
"That's true. He's kind of eccentric."
In response to the gatekeepers' efforts, the shift personnel jumped lightly and tried to make shifts quickly.
Then, suddenly, a coin fell out of one person's pocket.
Clink!
The gatekeepers' eyes lit up at the sound.
"Donggeoeoeoeoeon!!"
"Donjoeoeoeoeoeoeon!!"
The two gatekeepers eventually exploded together.
The shift staff couldn't help but panic.
"Hey, hey! Calm down!"
"Calm down? You stand here! Do you calm down!"
"These guys are really... stop going to rest. They seem to be in bad shape."
"Yes. We go. And kill the guy inside or not. You guys do it yourself."
The gatekeeper disappears leaving only those words.
The two new replacements, after a while, figured out why they went the way they did.
Clink..... Clink... Clink...
"Quick deuk...Quad deuk..."
A new gatekeeper who has endured for a long time.
Pop!
He finally heard the sound of his reason breaking.
Speerreung!
A gatekeeper pulling out a sword with out of focus eyes.
The other gatekeeper, standing next to him and covering his ears, was taken aback.
"Hey, hey? Are you okay?"
"No. It's not okay."
"..."
"That madman! I will kill you!!"
