Praise the Orc! Chapter 127:
Chapter 127 – White Knight (2)
Baek Hanho stopped punching the sandbag and pointed out the attitude of the members as he circled the gym . Due to his sensitive temper today, if he corrected a posture and they didn’t do it well, he would demonstrate it himself .
“……”
A female member watched with fear as Baek Hanho approached her .
‘Baek Hanho’s gym was a gathering place for men who had strength in the neighborhood and wanted to do some fighting . All of them were rugged and rough looking men . Such men had fallen at Baek Hanho’s gentle hand .
She was just an ordinary person who had a house nearby and wanted to become healthy . She laughed awkwardly when Baek Hanho stood in front of her .
“Hahaha… Manager-nim . ”
“Have you practiced what I taught you before? Let me see it once . One two!”
“Uh…”
She closed her eyes . Then she extended her fist awkwardly .
Hwiik . Hwiik .
“One two, one two!”
“Aih!”
“Double this time!”
“Uhh . ”
“Two one two one!”
Hwik hwik . Hwik! Hwik hwik hwik .
She flailed around . The previous men had fallen down right away . But for some reason, Baek Hanho was nodding .
“Good . ”
“……?”
“You have been here for three months?”
“Four months…”
“Hahaha . That is very good . Exercising is good . ”
“……”
She couldn’t help nodding dumbly because she had just witnessed a one-month member collapse from a low kick 1cm under the waist .
“But keep this in mind . Our physical body is a weapon . Martial arts is murder . ”
“Huh?”
“If possible, especially if you are a woman, try to resolve the situation without fighting . ” Baek Hanho gazed at a distant place and said . “It is a knight’s mission to protect ladies but this world…”
She forced a smile as Baek Hanho started talking nonsense .
“Knights have disappeared in modern times…”
Someone should tell him . But he was already in his own world . There was no one in this gym who could stop him .
At that moment . “What are you doing?”
“……”
It was Ian . Ian stood behind Baek Hanho . He looked at Baek Hanho with questioning eyes .
“Hum hum, you came . ”
“Why are you speaking strange words all of a sudden?”
“What type of strange things was I saying?”
“Play games a bit more moderately . ”
“Who are you to say…”
Ian and Baek Hanho started to walk towards the manager’s office while talking .
The female member stared blankly after them . After being left alone, the female member punched the sandbag and thought about Baek Hanho’s words . Their bodies were a weapon . Martial arts was murder . And ‘ladies . ’
She laughed .
“How old-fashioned . ”
Then she quietly stared into the air . Her hands were making strange gestures .
“Magic is to save people . ”
In Elder Lord, she was a magician .

“What have you been doing? Yeori is worried about you . ”
Ian’s eyes narrowed . “Yeori?”
“Yes, Yeori . ”
“When did you talk to Yeori?”
“A little while ago . ” As Ian stared at him, Baek Hanho shrugged and shook his head . “Oh, she showed interest because I am the one who taught you, but that is it . So don’t glare at me like that . ”
“It is hard to believe when looking at you . Aren’t you playing as a knight too much in the game?”
“This kid, insulting your teacher . In the old days, this would be punished . ”
Ian laughed . “What…if you are capable…”
Ian and Baek Hanho’s eyes clashed again . Sparks were flying from both pairs of eyes . It felt like they would head back to the ring again, but the two of them shook their heads and leaned back .
“I guess I’m too tired…”
“I did say…”
Ian wanted to take a break for a while after fighting Calmahart . While the capsule allowed him to control his character without moving a muscle, he was still mentally exhausted . Baek Hanho was also tired from his activities in Elder Lord so he didn’t want to bother with Ian .
They just leaned back in their chairs . Baek Hanho sighed and asked .
“What species are you?”
“It’s a secret . ”
“Class?”
“Secret . ”
“This guy . ”
“What about Teacher? Are you a knight?”
“Will you tell me if I tell you?”
“No . ”
“Phew, I brought up my disciple wrongly . ”
“It is because of Teacher that your disciple grew up like this . ”
“Well…your words aren’t wrong . ” Baek Hanho laughed as he leaned back in his chair . “Ian . ”
“Yes . ”
“These days, this guy has been running wild . ”
Baek Hanho raised a hand and a video appeared on the television screen that occupied a wall of the manager’s office . Ian flinched . It was Crockta .
“……”
To other people, Crockta looked really hideous . A heinous face, a fearsome body that was covered in tattoos, a hand that held the ignorantly large greatsword, regardless of fatigue . Just looking at his appearance, he seemed like a villain .
“I don’t like him . ”
“W-Why?”
“I was trying to catch the enemy called Calmahart, but this guy finished it before I could even start . ”
Baek Hanho changed the screen . This time, it was the best video site in the world, Youvids . The main screen of Youvids was filled with Crockta . After the news of Calmahart’s defeat had spread, the value of Righteous Orc Crockta rose again, meaning videos of Laney and other users who filmed him were constantly rising .
The number of views had already reached the peak . Video’s of Choi Hansung’s war had been pushed to the next level by Crockta .
“I will catch this guy!” Baek Hanho cried out .
Ian stilled .
“What, are you scared?”
“…No . ”
Baek Hanho nodded . “I know . He is a frightening guy . No matter how strong he is, he is still a monster in the game! He has ridiculous strength and physical abilities . ”
Crockta’s battle footage .
Chesswood . Ian’s mind sank into the memories of that time . Innocent people had died . They weren’t NPCs . Those who actually existed were killed by users connected to Elder Lord . Due to the ‘cognitive modification’ power of the god, others couldn’t even understand this possibility .
“Look . That beast-like movement . ” It was a scene where Crockta pierced through spears and swords, killing them all . He jumped into the middle of enemy territory . The users started to run away . Crockta chased and stabbed his sword in their backs .
“The amazing thing is the speed of development . ”
This time, it was a video of the past . Three players were confronting an orc . It was the user hunters he bumped into at Anail . They wanted to kill Crockta but he took the lives of the enemies in a flash .
“The boldness and determination are amazing . This person knows how to fight properly . ”
It was a compliment from Baek Hanho but Ian felt strangely anxious .
Ian asked . “So?”
“I have to catch this guy . ”
“…Why?”
“I don’t like him . ”
Ian looked at Baek Hanho’s expression . He was sincere . That expression, he was going to swing his sword as soon as Crockta returned to the continent .
Ian calmly said . “Hold on . Crockta is strong, righteous and popular . He even has a fan club . ”
“Fan club? I am one too . ”
“Huh?”
“Huhuhu, do you want to know?”
“Don’t lie . ”
“This guy…really . Of course, I won’t tell you . You can just wonder . ”
“……”
Baek Hanho changed the screen again . As he did so, he unwittingly opened the menu of his favorite Youvids videos .
“……!”
Baek Hanho hurriedly turned it off and looked to see if Ian had seen his favorites menu . Fortunately, Ian was checking his phone .
“What are you looking at?”
“Nothing . ”
Baek Hanho coughed .
“I have to go now . I need to show my face at the cafe . ”
“Yes . Don’t just let other people do the work . Unearned income makes people sick . ”
In fact, the gym was mostly run under Baek Hanho’s supervision . Ian shook his head .
“Take care . ”
“You too . ”
Ian left Baek Hanho’s gym . Then he headed towards Cafe Reason .
***
He didn’t come empty-handed . He stopped by the bakery and bought a few things .
After arriving at Cafe Reason, Han Yeori grumbled and gave some to Yoo Sooyeon, who was arranging a few minor things on the counter . There were customers .
Ian opened his phone while sipping a latte that he made . He entered a search term .
‘White Knight Andre . ’
Ian had briefly seen Baek Hanho’s favorites list . Baek Hanho’s favorites were filled with videos of a user called White Knight Andre . Immediately after confirming it, he pretended to be doing something else .
If he knew his enemy, he could win . Baek Hanho would surely come to him . It would be in the world of Elder Lord .
The first kill! He would do it .
The name ‘White Knight Andre’ was well-known .
“Uh, Boss-nim knows about Andre?” Han Yeori approached and sat down next to him .
“You know him?”
“I know . He is really cool . ”
“…Cool?”
“Yes . ”
Ian looked at the video playing with questionable eyes and Han Yeori said . “I don’t play the game but I’ve seen videos of this person . ”
Then Ian almost spat out his coffee at the close-up appearance of the character .
Dazzling blonde hair . Clear blue eyes . A straight nose, white skin with no wrinkles and soft pink lips . Silver plated armor covered the entire body . It was the appearance of a medieval young knight . How much work could be done to customize his appearance to such an extent?
Furthermore, he was riding on a beautiful white horse with a flowing mane .
“Isn’t he cool?”
“Um…” Ian nodded .
In the video, Baek Hanho, no White Knight Andre was speaking .
“Diabolical ones who wield a sword against a lady . ”
He got down from his horse . He rubbed the forehead of the white horse, as if telling it to wait a moment, before raising his sword towards the enemies in front of him . It was a well-worn longsword .
“I am Knight Andre, and I will let you know what justice is . ”
Then he rushed towards the enemies in front of him . The opponents were bandits equipped with axes and swords . They swung their weapons . They were confused at first by Andre’s splendor but gained confidence due to their belief in their numerical superiority .
However, that only lasted for a short moment . Andre’s sleek swordsmanship stopped their breaths . There was no gory battle with blood and flesh . One pierce that gracefully penetrated the enemy’s weak points . Fluid techniques .
All the enemies were destroyed . White Knight Andre turned softly . The female NPC, who had been threatened by the bandits, stared at him blankly . Andre approached and grabbed her hand . Then he kissed the back of her hand and winked softly .
“Lady . I took care of the opponents . Please rest assured . ”
A sweet smile! Then the video faded out .
Han Yeori poked Ian’s side . “So cool . He is a real Prince Charming . Isn’t that right? Boss-nim?”
However, Ian knew the reality so he couldn’t nod . Han Yeori giggled and went back to the counter . Ian wanted to erase his memories, no he wanted to clean his eyes and forget he ever saw this video .
Ian read the comments . At first, there were compliments .
└ Milky Andre: I’m Andre’s fan! ^^ Continue the video! Have strength Andre!
└ Fatal White Knight: >ㅅ<
I want to see Andre every day… Where is it? The answer to my problems…Andre’s pink lips…Chu…

└ Bul’tar Crockta: ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ Crockta will twist him up ㅋㅋㅋ A real man vs . a rural village gangster .
└ Xylitol One Shot: Are you talking about the definition of justice again? Where did this come from? Did Andre save a village like Crockta? Did he create a storm before leaving . What did he do except act good in front of women? ㅉㅉ
└ Barking Dog: Bark bark! Bark bark bark! Grrrr bark!
└ Moderation: How irritating… When I see a video of Crockta, I get a thrill… My hands and feet…
└ Philosopher: This friend is only brilliant when he is catching weak opponents . I miss Crockta .
Ian shook his head .
“……” His shoulders started to shake . “…Kuk…Cough…”
Ian’s shoulders moved up and down as he couldn’t help laughing .
“Puhuhu…puhuhuhuhut…!”
Sometimes the standards of the world were so different from his .
But . This wasn’t so different from his viewpoint .
“Ah . That’s right . Crockta is the definition of justice . It is in the eyes of the beholder . ”
Gradually, the comments increased and it became ‘Crockta vs . Andre . ’ Andre’s fans and his anti-fans engaged in a keyboard battle . In particular, Andre had recently said he wanted to fight Crockta so this remarks became more intense .
The two characters of justice . The women who had a crush on White Knight Andre! The men who supported Orc Warrior Crockta!
Han Yeori sighed as she watched Ian laughing .
“Why is he coming like that more and more…”
