'I don't really believe in physiognomy, but... … .'
Yoon Se-jin, the image of a traitor.
However, that evaluation seemed a bit unfair to him.
It was also the case that he became the target of Shizuru, who had 'editing' abilities, and followed her.
In a way, being ruled by the constellation 'King of the Beginning' was almost an accident.
From the beginning, didn't you recommend Yoon Se-jin to seek support from the king of the beginning, thinking that it would be good to have a sacred and patronage constellation?
'But in the meantime, there were several accidents, even if they were unintentional.'
It may be that Yoon Se-jin is just unlucky, but for some reason, I couldn't just ignore the evaluation of the constellation Shadow Queen.
'It would definitely be better for me to be the constellation and provide the center.'
When Seong Ji-han was thinking like that.
"uncle!"
Yoon Se-ah, who had gone out of the room to show the Shadow Queen the human players, came back in.
"The Queen said she wants to support Dad?"
"You said it was the traitor's award?"
"My situation was such that I wasn't in a position to cover things like that."
At the same time, the Shadow Queen glanced at Seong Ji-han.
"But you. "Did you do something earlier?"
"why?"
"Suddenly my power was amplified, and several chains remaining on my body were broken."
There was something that came to mind in Seong Ji-han's words.
When the constellation characteristic is turned on, the overall abilities are amplified by 200%.
I guess the Shadow Queen also benefited from that.
"Oh, there was something to strengthen for a moment."
"Can't you just do a little more? If I just break this chain, I think I can function as a constellation again... … ."
"Activities as a constellation. "Isn't it already over?"
The Shadow Queen, whose home planet's Shadow Elves were wiped out.
For a woman with the trait of dominion, it was as if she had suffered irreparable damage.
While she nodded to Seong Ji-han's words.
"That's true, but… … We Shadow Elves, the World Tree Elves, have no choice but to continue creating things in the end. If the elf type is not completed, it is still possible to discard all of them. We must unite those vengeful spirits and make the Shadow Elves powerful again. And I will take revenge on the World Tree that turned me into this situation."
The will for revenge was burning.
"What is the home planet?"
"There is a planet that I kept just in case. Of course, before settling there, you need to have an appropriate number of Shadow Elves under your command. "If we surprise attack one planet of the World Tree and liberate the Shadow Elves, there will be a sufficient number to settle on that planet."
"Is it possible to do that alone?"
"Things are like this now, but I am also a constellation of level 7. "If we can recover our strength, we can make a surprise attack and unite the vengeful spirits even if we cannot take over the World Tree Elf planet."
Level 7.
So you've raised the reigning trait to 7?
Considering that level 10 is a great constellation, level 7 is a high position among constellations.
The Shadow Queen's power was stronger than expected.
"But there are obstacles that must be overcome in order to make a comeback."
The Shadow Queen fingered the broken chain on her body.
"The root of Yggdrasil is still embedded in my body... … "If I don't get rid of this, my location will be tracked at any time."
"Shall I get rid of it?"
"No, I will overcome this myself. "If I benefit from you, there will be no way to deal with it later if I get caught in the roots."
The root of Yggdrasil that can be dealt with using the power possessed by Seongjihan.
However, the Shadow Queen did not want to receive his help even in this.
"Try it and if it doesn't work, talk about it."
"I get it. So, speaking of the sponsorship from earlier... … ."
"Oh, to my brother-in-law? "That's what I'm going to do."
The Shadow Queen opened her eyes round at Seong Ji-han's words.
"Aren't you even a constellation? "I heard it's level 300."
"But I can sponsor 5 people."
"No, it's not even a constellation, so how can you support a constellation?"
"I could do it."
"… … "What a unique player."
The Shadow Queen tilted her head several times as if she couldn't understand, and eventually gave up on the Sword King.
"i get it. Award of betrayal... … No, don't support the Sword King. "I'll look for another player."
"Good idea."
"uh… … Is your uncle really sponsoring you? "It's not even a constellation?"
"That's it."
"and… … ."
Yoon Se-ah blinked and then picked up her cell phone.
"Then I'll call my dad again. "I told you to get support from the Queen earlier."
"Okay then."
"Yes, Dad. I'm washing my face… … ."
* * *
"Get your brother-in-law as a constellation? "I understand."
After returning home, Yoon Se-jin accepted Seong Ji-han's offer of sponsorship without much hesitation.
"Dad, you answered right away. "Without having to decide between the Shadow Queen or her uncle."
"How much trouble have you caused your brother-in-law? How can you worry about choosing? "Thank you for your support."
Although the idea of welcoming his brother-in-law as a constellation may have been repulsive in some ways for my brother-in-law.
Is it because, following Shizuru, there was an uproar over Gilgamesh's servant?
Sejin Yoon accepted the sponsorship offer as if it was natural.
"Then should I be polite to the Constellation from now on?"
"It's done. What kind of courtesy do you have among family members? "It's rather uncomfortable."
"If you say so."
Seong Ji-han opened the Constellation window and opened the 'Player Sponsorship' item.
Perhaps because the reign attribute is OFF, only 5 slots are active.
And at the top of the player sponsorship section, there was an [Investment Propensity] column.
"Investment inclination? "Queen, do you know what this is?"
"You really… … Is sponsorship possible as a Constellation? That item determines how much the Constellation will invest in the player. It is divided into five levels, from very active to very passive. "Initially, investment tendencies will be common to all sponsored players."
"Will it be different later?"
"If you are at reign level 3 or higher, you can adjust your investment tendencies to suit each individual player."
Until then, we need to support all players in a consistent manner.
As a senior constellation, the Shadow Queen gave Seong Ji-han a tip.
"Basically, the resources needed to sponsor players are GP and constellation reputation. Among these, reputation values, which are important to the Constellations, are rapidly consumed starting from the 'active' investment stage. If possible, it would be better to not exceed 'average' investment propensity. In the end, the reason we sponsor players is to secure reputation figures."
"Is it possible to gain fame by consuming reputation points?"
"okay. Well-cultivated sponsored players will continuously increase their reputation. So many constellations are looking for promising players."
At the same time, the Shadow Queen also commented on humanity.
"It seems that humanity does not receive much attention from the constellations. "The fact that it was evaluated so poorly in Battle.net's race report played a role."
"Tribal report."
Seong Ji-han seemed to know what it was.
A report from a Battle.net administrator that assessed the possibility of remaining in the league as 3% and the investment value as nil.
This information revealed by Seong Ji-han became quite a hot topic in the past.
"But, in my view, the value of humanity's investment has actually increased because of that report. Because of the report, prominent constellations are not paying attention to this place."
"It seems the report had such a big impact."
"of course. Battle.net reports boast 99.9 percent accuracy. "Your planet is lucky enough to have irregulars like you, making you one of the 0.1 percent."
"Hagiya. That report is accurate. "If it weren't for my uncle, humanity would have lost to 20th place."
"As long as the human race stays on Battle.net, the constellations that have invested here will benefit considerably."
"Are you planning to invest too?"
"okay. "I will invest all my resources here."
At the same time, the Shadow Queen's eyes shine.
In order to make a comeback, she planned to join Seong Ji-han's humanity.
"So, you, the ruler of this planet, should decide on a sponsor first. "I will choose from the rest."
"okay. Without hesitation, I pick you first. Previously."
Seong Ji-han clicked on the empty sponsorship slot and entered Yoon Se-jin.
[For the first time, we are sponsoring a player.]
[Constellation reputation points increase by 100.]
Perhaps because of the first sponsor, the system gives 100 reputation points.
"oh… … "My brother-in-law's name does not appear, and he appears as an unknown constellation."
"At attribute level 1, most constellation names are not given. Is it reign level 1? you?"
"uh."
Seong Ji-han nodded and changed his investment inclination to 'very active.'
[Investment tendencies have changed very actively.]
[The effect of constellation sponsorship is greatly increased, and more GP and constellation reputation points are consumed.]
Then, a system message appeared saying that the sponsorship effect and resource consumption had increased simultaneously.
However, the amount of consumption is not specified as an exact figure.
Seong Ji-han asked Yoon Se-jin.
"Brother-in-law, how is the effect? "I tried to change my investment tendencies very actively."
"hmm… … I'm not sure. "No message appears."
"is it? "Even if you are at reign level 1, if your investment propensity is very active, something will be popular, but it's strange."
That's what Yoon Se-jin said when Shadow Queen said that nothing appeared.
'Because the trait is OFF, the sponsorship effect is only 1%.'
Seong Ji-han was able to get a general sense of why the effect was not appearing.
If the return value to sponsored players is 1%, there is no need to force players into slots.
"It seems that the sponsorship effect is weak because it is not yet an official constellation. "Brother-in-law, if you want to fully benefit from the support, you can go to the queen."
"No, it's okay. Sponsorship effect… … After being treated harshly by the king of the beginning, I lost my greed. "Just make your investment tendencies very passive."
Despite Seong Ji-han's suggestion, Yoon Se-jin responded that she would not change the sponsorship constellation.
He showed his intention to simply belong to a sacred group rather than receive more sponsorship effects for no reason.
"All right. Well then, queen. You choose the players you want to sponsor first. "I need to think about whether I should sponsor more or not."
"okay? Are you giving priority? "It's good for me."
"Then do you want to go to the living room? "I was putting player data on the TV earlier."
"OK."
Seong Ji-han and his party moved back to the living room.
"This is really troubling… … There are so many players with such high-grade gifts. "No matter how much racial correction is used, this is too generous."
"is that so?"
The Shadow Queen, who was looking at the analysis data of top players, was impressed by the gift grades they received.
"okay. Among them, the one I desire the most is you. "Yoon Se-ah."
"Me?"
"Is your mom being nice to you? In some cases, her family is rather stingy. "If I become a sponsoring constellation, I will invest 'very actively' in you."
"no way. are you okay. "Having her mother as her constellation is not the purpose of her support."
"is it? Too bad... … ."
Perhaps overestimating Yoon Se-ah's longevity, the Shadow Queen gave her a regretful look and then turned her gaze to the data.
So when she was trying to select players.
Jiiiing… … .
"hmm… … ."
Seong Ji-han, who was looking at the data together, wiggled his eyebrows.
And not long after.
"… … I feel strong power. "From above."
The Shadow Queen also took her eyes off the screen and looked at the window with quiet eyes.
"huh? "What's wrong with you all of a sudden?"
"… … for a moment. I'll do some reconnaissance in the sky. "Queen, come back in."
"i get it."
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
At Seong Ji-han's words, the queen obediently turns into a shadow energy and enters his left arm.
As soon as he retrieved the queen, he immediately went out the window and looked up at the sky.
Above the tall penthouse, a blue sky without a single cloud appeared.
That too for a while.
Paaaaat… … !
In the air, red energy rose and a huge blood cross was formed.
and.
"Seongjihan."
Under the cross.
A person wearing blood armor all over his body was looking at Seong Ji-han.
"I, Longinus, according to the orders of the god of war, I will kill you on this spot."
