Hyeonu felt reassured by the return amulets that filled one corner of his inventory. He had said those words to the emperor, but in reality, he didn’t know who would participate in the quest.

'If I need help, then...’

Hyeonu had no intention of calling people randomly as he had previously called too many people in the main scenario.

‘Should I call Seokjung hyung-nim?’

Still, he wondered if Kim Seokjung and Gang Junggu should be called. The relationship between them wasn’t one where he had to calculate things like this.

‘I’m sure they will come running if I call...’

His thoughts lasted up to there. It would only be a matter of consideration after meeting them, so he delayed the decision. There was a lot of work to be done right away.

‘Return to Territory.’

The management of his territory was first. Hyeonu disappeared from the East Continent.
