NOVEL NEXT chapter 19
19 – 19 – Rapid Acceleration in a Different World: The Gallery of Apologies
Dark elves don’t care about other people’s opinion.”
Unlike the elf who, like a scholar, hides shameful things and is serious about everything, most things are revealed.
To such dark elves, the gallery was heaven.
Title) Just had s*x ㅁㅌㅊ?
There are three promiscuous people, so ask questions
ㄴGive me one
ㄴFirst
ㄴCrazy bastard ㅋㅋ asks for money ㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴSelling this ㅋㅋ
ㄴAre you a slave merchant? ㅋㅋ
ㄴA promiscuous merchant is a new business model. Damn ㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴCan I also be promiscuous?
ㄴWhat’s your race
ㄴMy race is goblin
ㄴDo goblins also use the gallery these days?
ㄴThe world has changed a lot ㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴGoblins are surprisingly excellent
ㄴ?
ㄴYou
ㄴHow do you know that?
ㄴNo… Ah, forget it.
ㄴWhat, don’t give up
Because the gallery was full of such posts.
Dark elves could use the gallery as they are.
Queen of Ardel. What’s different about Serendia?
She was the same.
“There are also a lot of interesting posts today.”
She smiled as she read the crude, classy, and blatant posts.
The instinct itself is designed to like this.
No, wouldn’t most people like it?
The elf who pretends to be clean and drops all is strange, saying it’s dirty.
She had been engrossed in reading the posts on the gallery.
Starting her daily routine with a cup of coffee.
Though she usually did so.
【This service is not available in your area.】
“….”
At the greeting message, Serendia squinted. She rubbed her eyes and opened them again, but the message didn’t change.
An unavailable service area? Really? She tried multiple times, but it was impossible.
The gallery had refused her.
She had attempted to reconnect several times, but the repeated messages frustrated her.
What? They block Ardel because revealing its location is dangerous and ask for restraint on tracking?
But Serendia was defiant.
Because they might recognize the Dark Elves’ vital base and plot something evil. She had acted first!
As Serendia thought about her desire to log in to the gallery… she thought of Jeodeok.
‘Shall I try it once?’
Did they expect her to surrender just like that? Serendia believed in herself.
There is no way that a trivial matter of not being able to log in to the gallery will cause anything unusual.
“Your Majesty!”
She believed that nothing will happen.
“There is a riot happening right now!”
“What?”
“The citizens are causing a riot. “
“What’s the scale?”
“Currently, it’s a few hundred to thousands. The scale is continuously growing.”
She had a headache. Serendia massaged her temples while thinking.
Why a riot? At this time?
Should she send knights and assassins to stop it all?
No, she shouldn’t.
Unlike those reckless fools, hadn’t Ardel stuck together?
They should aim their blades at each other as little as possible.
Because the only trust the Dark Elves have is in each other.
“They rallied in the square only to face the sword?
No matter how much she thought about it, it was not the right way.
In the end, Serendia subdued her instinct and found a logical solution.
“What are their demands?”
A riot wouldn’t have occurred without reason. They must have something they want.
Serendia intended to listen to their demands.
A rare uprising in peaceful Ardell. This must be a serious matter.
“To lift the blockade in the gallery area.”
“….”
“It’s true.”
On hearing the knight’s words, almost as if doubting, Serendia’s headache became more severe.
A riot started over just that…?
But she agreed.
It had already been 30 minutes since she hadn’t been able to access the gallery.
At a loss due her withdrawal symptoms from the gallery, her hand trembled.
Serendia clenched her fist.
“Choose a representative amongst you and bring them to me.”
She too wanted to resolve this quickly.
A little later.
A Dark Elf man with a towering stature entered into Serendia’s reality.
“The representative of the group that started the riot. His name is Dern. Your Majesty.”
“Alright.”
He greeted her with a respectful nod.
He approached her with a confident stride and spoke directly.
“Your majesty. We would like the blockade of the gallery to be lifted.”
Dark Elves don’t beat around the bush.
Even a queen must face a direct conversation, there was no avoiding it.
“Why are you telling me this?”
To Serendia’s meager objection,
He also stuck the fact directly to the Queen.
“Indeed, it was the queen herself who first provoked the ire of Juddak, wasn’t it? If it hadn’t been for the queen, there wouldn’t have been a local ban, would there?
It was Juddak who triggered the local block, not me.
Interjecting such would like be unsightly, not knowing how it might rebound.
But somehow, I spat out a word to defend my pride.
“…He’s a threat to Ardel. So, should we just leave him be?”
“And if we do, what then? Is there no other way but to get rid of Juddak?”
“…”
“How would it have been if you got along with Juddak?”
Why is he so good with words?
This made me question whether it was a mistake to initially take a hard line on Juddak.
Serendia remained silent.
No matter the defense, she realized she wouldn’t be able to win against his eloquence.
“Ardel was abandoned by Juddak due to the Queen’s unilateral actions.”
“…”
“You need to fix this quickly. This wave will only get bigger.”
“…So you’re saying that I should bow down to gallery owner Juddak?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to bow down than to have your neck broken? Or there’s another way. You could use the guillotine.”
“…”
He’s outright suggesting to bow down and apologize. I’d hate that, even after death and resurrection.
Rebellion flashes. Serendia lifted her spirit and stared into the man’s eyes.
Under the pressure of her spirit and chi, his body started to tremble.
Still, he never avoided her eyes, as if to prove that he belonged in the role of representative.
“Huuh….”
Everything he said was right. If I kept defending my pride, I would lose my head.
But to bow down…. My pride wouldn’t allow it.
As Serendia was weighing these options in her mind, Daren approached the subject with a different view.
“Your Majesty. This event is rather an opportunity.”
“Opportunity?”
“Yes! An opportunity!”
He had caused an uproar before. Was he insane?
But his expression was more serious than anyone else’s.
His strategy left even Serendia startled.
“Let’s talk about it once.”
“Others might want a relationship with Judic, but they haven’t managed to do so. That’s because Judic is quite conservative about such things.”
“Is that so…?”
I don’t really know. But Serendia just nodded.
Diplomacy, relationships, international affairs. She had no knowledge about such things.
For any matter, she prefers to quietly skim through.
“Yes. With this event, Ardel might be in a crisis, but we’ve formed a connection with Judic.”
Hearing it, it sounded quite plausible.
Others couldn’t tie knots with Judic. Instead, they got an opportunity.
“If we take advantage of this, it becomes our stepping stone. If we help him when he’s in danger or in a difficult situation…”
“He changes his mind?”
“Yes. Ardel doesn’t harm him and creates an image of a trustworthy nation.”
“If that happens….”
“Judic will have no reason to attack Ardel. It’s rare to betray a benefactor. We can form a deeper relationship.”
“Okay. But what if we stab him?”
“We can also stab him back.”
“Well.”
Thinking about it, it’s a reasonable argument.
No, can this situation be analyzed this far?
Serendia pondered deeply before making a decision.
“I’ll request Judic to lift the blockade on Ardel’s region. If he flushes out personal requests, Ardel won’t have any issues.”
“Promises are good, but….”
“I will resolve it by today.”
“….”
Serendia had packed her personal equipment and stepped out before the man finished speaking.
“Ha…”
Hopefully, she won’t mess anything up.
Promises are good, but dangerous remarks should be avoided.
The Queen’s sole actions were terrifying, but there was no one in the spot that could stop her.
Serendia, who had slipped outside the castle, cursed under her breath.
First, escaping from Ardel was the only possible situation for communication.
It was necessary to travel on the carriage for at least two days.
If she actually ran there herself, it was possible to get there in half a day, but it wasn’t an easy task.
“… Damn it.”
Serendia cloaked herself with mana and set off on the ground.

Title) Seems like fewer people today?
ㅇㅇ Anything happened?
ㄴ His Highness of Ardel got banned lol
ㄴ Oh, for real?

ㄴThe proportion of their posts is high
ㄴMost of the posts in the gallery are about Dark Elves, right?
ㄴ Lol, for real, Dark Elves are s*xy, they’re popular
“That’s right.”
Jude, who was moderating, nodded his head.
The Dark Elves exude fiery passion, causing hearts to suddenly race. Sometimes even exposing their naked bodies.
And so, he regretted having moderated Ardelle.
‘Should I remove the filter now?’
If he pretended it was just an oversight and removed the block, it would seem less silly.
He was missing the dark chocolate skin of the Dark Elf women.
It was normal to get bored after repeatedly gazing at pictures of dark chocolate-skinned Elf women he had saved.
He needed a new set of breasts. But it was an inevitable decision.
-Jude
Title: I’m Sad But
Sacrificed the breasts of the Dark Elf for the greater good.
– He actually gave up on breasts LOL
– LOL I think Jude isn’t an ordinary moderator. LOL Can he even resist?
– Tell us honestly
– Jude: I regret not being able to see the breasts.
– LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
– This guy LOL
– I knew he would LOL
– If it was me, I would have lifted the block and saved the s*xy pic LOL
– I would’ve blocked the Beast Kingdom from Bier first
– Why block the Beast Kingdom? LOL
– We need to annihilate furry fans
– But why furry fans all of a sudden? LOL
– Let’s shed some fur
– Honestly, furries are cool, aren’t they?
– You furry gay…
– First hide your fur, then talk
– It’s true, the fur tickles my nose.
– I wish they could annihilate dwarf nuclear tactics
– LMAO
“Stop bringing them in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Title) Is it revenge in Ardel?
Predicted Article)
Breaking News – Found in a lifeless state
ㄴ There’s a possibility, so always keep a book in your stomach
ㄴ Does the book block the knife?
ㄴNo, it’s warm when you hug a book ㅋㅋ
ㄴㅋㅋㅋ You really need to keep your stomach warm ㅋㅋ
ㄴ The stomach is important ㅋㅋ
ㄴ It’s not good for your body if your stomach is cold ㅋㅋ
ㄴ Serendia has a f*cking bad personality, seems like she’s carrying a knife now
ㄴ Is it f*cked up?
ㄴ But besides Serendia, it’s a world filled with dangers ㅇㅇ;
ㄴ Serendia is more like a cornered rat rather than dangerous
ㄴ Do rats swing knives these days?
ㄴ Crabs do
-(Picture of crab swinging a knife.jpg)
ㄴ Why is this real
ㄴ Why is this here ㅅㅂ
ㄴ What is this ㅋㅋ
The gollums who knew a lot about Dark Elves sensed danger.
Dark Elves? They don’t care. No, they don’t have a sense at all.
They don’t twist their words. They drive it straight in.
Not only words but the problem is that they drive knives in.
So, shouldn’t the lifeless ones also moderately to survive? They worried. But another article was posted.
-Lifeless
Title) Dark Elves?
We don’t negotiate with bullies.
ㄴ Street fight ON ㅋㅋㅋ
ㄴ It’s a showdown to see who backs down first ㅋㅋ”
“Ardel VS Judak: The battle before the fall LOL
Aren’t you worried that the Dark Elves’ defenses might fall while you’re busy focusing on the fight?
-Judak: Should I really stop the barrier?
LOL
Are his decisions wavering for real?
Breast-feeding is a significant issue LOL
So, who’s going to win?
One will have to die first.
The users in the gallery ripped into their popcorn, absorbed in the face-off between Judak and Ardel.
Although it’s entertaining just to watch, imagine if Serendia, the Queen of Ardel, showed up here.
Everyone was eagerly waiting for such a situation.
Title: What’s Serendia doing right now?
Hmm?
She’s likely sleeping right now.
Isn’t it lunchtime now?
She usually wakes up after lunch, doesn’t she?
Isn’t it common sense to wake up at lunchtime?
LOL, is our queen jobless?
Is there no correspondent from within Ardel?
Even if there was, it’d be meaningless if they couldn’t reach the gallery.
It’s tough to get into Ardel.
This species is forbidden entry, how can you enter?
Sneaking in?
You can knock on the door, run away, and sneak in afterward.
LOL, right.
Those who enter Ardel’s region may get smacked by the Dark Elves LOL
Smacked?
It makes my mouth water.
Wipe your drool, you idiot LOL
Unless you are a merchant who has already gained favor with the Dark Elves, it’s close to impossible.”
That region is mostly uncharted, with only a few capable of navigating down to the underground city.
Ardel is such a location. A secluded place where others can’t easily tread.
Most are unable to find an entrance even when they cross the borderland.
It is inhabited by a race specialized for assassination, who live where no eyes reach.
Not only that, but the species’ characteristic also includes an undeniable nature of violence, unreceptive to negotiation.
The matter of dark elves not accepting bribes is definitely true, these guys maintain caution towards other races, even when bribed.
Some liken it to a rogue state.
From the guards to the aristocrats, all are the same.
Does the queen differ? Not even, language barriers still prevail.
Seriously?
The incident where a water cup was thrown at the diplomatic envoy became legendary.
That’s even considered courteous.
There was a time when, amidst their inquiry into a crime committed by a dark elf, they lobbed a meat skewer while eating kebabs.
Stuck in the arm?
Yeah.
That’s annoying.
Crazy woman.
Skewered arm.
There’s only one thing you can trust from a dark elf. ‘A promise.’
Only proceed if they give you a promise. If they don’t put it into a contract, then dismiss it.
A promise) Dark elf’s way of pledging. Documentation is critical. They value evidence.
Thank you for explaining.
Title: Let’s forgive Ardel
Because Serendia is pretty, it’s possible.
What is possible?
Do I need to spell it out?
I’ll show you through actions.
First, pulling down the pants.
No, thank you.
“Show me, go ahead.”
“No, we don’t need that!!!!!”
“Is the Ardel ban lifted?”
“The Ardel Guardians have already arrived, geez…”
“She’s pretty, but her fiery personality is a problem, hahahaha.”
“But if she’s pretty, then that’s forgivable.”
“Agreed.”
“Does your anger subside when you see her face at night after a lousy day?”
“Since she’s a dark elf, how can you see her in the darkness of night?”
“You’re crazy, hahahaha.”
“Switch on the light at night, hahahahaha.”
“Most probably prefer lights off, hahahahaha.”
“Only those with night vision can see, hahahaha.”
“What do you do if you can’t see?”
“At night, when you can’t see, you might end up putting it in the wrong place unintentionally, hahahaha.”
“Hilarious, hahahahaha.”
“What would Serendia think if she reads this?”
“If it were me, I’d probably slaughter them all, hahahaha.”
“…Should I leave them to be slaughtered.”
Serendia, who logged into the gallery, surged with anger upon seeing the real-time posts.
These pathetic jerks. Just because I
ㅋㅋㅋ Have you lost all sensation?
ㅋㅋ Even a 1000:1 ratio of blood to tears is said to be tough.
ㅋㅋ If it’s that bad, even a currency exchange would go out of business.
The value of blood is for free, free ㅋㅋ
The value of blood has recently plummeted…
Title: If you are lurking Serendia now, give a thumb up
Starting from me ㅋㅋ
Thumbs Up 1922, Thumbs Down 3
ㅋㅋㅋ How many queens are there in the gallery?
First, thumbs up ㅋㅋ
Why resist when there’s a button ㅋㅋ
But seriously, apologizing and quickly sorting things out is better, right…
As time passes, it will actually become a Cold War.
If Ardell enters a Cold War, won’t there be an all-out war?
Death of queen drinking tea.
Death of a geek collecting s*xy pics in the gallery
Terrifying, indeed ㅋㅋㅋ
Please, just apologize and let it stop here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
War means risking life, regardless of being online.
Hoping for their relationship to improve.
In the gallery, they were urging Serendia to apologize.
It was a good atmosphere for Serendia. After all, she intended to apologize anyway.
“…just do it.”
Yes, it is simple.
Serendia pressed the post button and uploaded the writing.
– Serendia
Title: I’m Sorry
Damn it
Forgive me
ㅋㅋㅋ Are you crazy, you started it!!
Huh? LOL
Crazy bastard LOL Crazy bastard LOL Crazy bastard LOL
You don’t know what an apology is, right? LOL
You still haven’t got it, have you? LOL
No, go back LOL
Yeah LOL Never open the gallery LOL
Where’s the ‘sincerity’? LOL
Ah LOL
Serendia mirror match LOL LOL
He couldn’t let go of his pride till the end.
But is that important? At least he bowed his head.
─ ChUDuck
Title) Hmm.
OK.
You’re accepting this?
LOL
Isn’t he insane? LOL
Hey LOL How can you accept this? LOL
A lunatic in the heart LOL
But, he really let go like this?
─ ChUDuck
Title) But only with words?
Even if the ban was free…
You can’t unban with just words LOL
I knew it would be like this LOL
You can’t resist the heart LOL
Let’s accept the heart first LOL
─ ChUDuck) LOL The heart is the best
“sh*t… Is this for real….”
Serendia’s pupils shook greatly.
