< Reunion (1) >
“Ha, I’m dying of noise.”
Sang-woo turned off all notifications on his smart goggles asking him to connect a call.
Instead, he contacted Kang Jun-mo.
-[Shark]: Agent, did you see the news?
-[Kang Jun-mo]: Yes, I saw it. You must have been in a hurry to contact me now.
-[Shark]: Yes. I’m dying to know where you got the number…. So, is there any way to redirect the contact to the agency?
-[Kang Jun-mo]: The company office is still contacting me, so it’s getting in the way of work. So, I think it would be better to gather all the people involved and have a meeting. What do you think, Hunter?
-[Shark]: That would be great. Please proceed like that.
-[Kang Jun-mo]: Yes~ Sang-
woo entrusted Kang Jun-mo with any calls regarding the Tower of Odin.
At the same time as he was doing his work, he was eating.
Now, his body has returned to his home in Seoul after the fall of the Vatican.
In the meantime, I went around gyms with Raven in fear of harming my family, but I finally returned to my home.
“Son~ eat a lot~”
Sang-woo’s mother, Mrs. Lee Ae-sook, took care of things for her son after a long time.
“Honey, stop eating and come and eat. It will cool down.”
“that’s right. stop eating mom You gave a lot to your alter egos too.”
“are you okay. Would you like more japchae? Would you like some bulgogi?”
“No, it’s okay. If I eat all of this, my stomach will explode.”
“I’ll bring you more rice.”
Sang-woo ate the food that was fully prepared.
In fact, even when he assigned alter ego #123 to his family as a bodyguard, his mother prepared various alter egos and fed them a lot of food.
‘It feels like I ate home-cooked meals yesterday as the memories of the alter egos come to mind sparsely.’
Because of this, even though I had been eating at home after a long time, the home-cooked food prepared by my mother was not unfamiliar to me.
rather get used to it
‘But my mom doesn’t add seasonings, so the food is a bit bland.’
It is said that seasoning is bad for the body, but Sang-woo is a superhuman.
Now, the section to pay attention to seasoning has passed.
That’s why I wanted to eat more delicious food, but since I was a mother full of love for my son, it seemed difficult to expect to eat food with seasonings.
‘Still, this is good enough. Well, I think I’ll hire a professional chef when I think I’ll be bothered to cook later.’
While thinking about this and that, Sang-woo ate the rice deliciously.
Instead, there was too much food prepared by his mother, so Sang-woo had to use an alter ego chance in the middle.
He quickly called No. 1 and No. 2, who were waiting to be guarded.
“Hey guys, enjoy your meal. You can’t leave it.”
“yes. thank you for this food.”
The alter egos answered and began to eat the prepared food in an orderly manner using chopsticks. While eating delicacies with his parents and other alter egos
, Sang-
woo was handling other tasks at the same time with his Overmind skill
.
First, the Kanus Guild office in Gangnam.
The strategy team 1, who survived safely, returned to their respective nests first.
Because there were families waiting for them for a long time.
Instead, Park Won-tae was giving thanks to Sang-woo, and Sang-woo’s presence there was an alter ego. “Sang-woo, you are the benefactor of the Kenus Guild. thank you.”
“Oh, what is it? I signed a contract, so of course I should have done it.”
Sang-woo, who was connected to the alter ego, smiled.
Because of the direct connection with the Overmind skill, Park Won-tae had no idea that it would be an alter ego.
‘This person is really moving to a sub-space…’ I was
just admiring Sang-woo’s ability to use skills and the greatness of his alter ego, thinking that he had returned to Korea quickly after the Vatican terror incident was over.
“Anyway, I never imagined it would break the news right away in the media.”
“So are we. However, the information spread from the returned family members… Just as Mr. Sang-woo became an issue at the right time, the media seemed to have decided that it was better to hit them in a row.”
“Hmm… Well, thanks to the article, I’m getting popular and it’s nice. haha.”
Now that he realized that he had become a celebrity to some extent, Sang-woo did not take it seriously.
This is because he dreamed of becoming a social media star when he was young (even though he is still young).
Of course, the dream came so suddenly that I was a bit bewildered, but Sang-woo was gradually adapting to the current situation.
“By the way, what happened to making subspace skill scrolls? It must have been useless because I rescued it first…” “
Oh, so yesterday I immediately asked Heritage headquarters to stop production. We decided to pay only 30% of the amount, which was an advance payment.”
“Aha, well done. Fortunately, the.”
The subspace skill scroll alone was worth almost 100 billion won, but the Kanus Guild was able to significantly reduce that amount thanks to Sang-woo.
‘Good. It bothered me a little that I received 500 billion won as a bet.’
It was Sang-woo who received the right money because he won the bet, but he felt uncomfortable inside.
But now, by rescuing the capture team 1 who was trapped in the Tower of Odin, he paid off his debt.
“yes. Saving money is also thanks to Sang-woo. By the way, Mr. Sangwoo was promoted to A rank. Congratulations.”
“Oh, thank you.”
“Now, one more domestic A-class hunter has increased. Well, it looks like you’ll be promoted to S-class sooner or later.”
“Ah, it’s still a long way. We have to work harder.”
“Since you have the humility, you will become clear. Anyway, Mr. Sang-woo, now that the way to get to and from the Tower of Odin is known to the world, people around the world will pay attention to Mr. Sang-woo. So… can I contact you later if I need to clear Odin’s Tower?”
Park Won-tae asked very politely.
In fact, the main point he wanted to talk about was the reason he delayed the conversation with Sang-woo.
‘Odin’s Tower… I definitely want to attack it.’
Even if it was to wash away the dishonor of having failed in the attack.
For Park Won-tae, Odin’s Tower was a love-hate existence.
That’s why Sangwoo-ra wanted to challenge again if he could secure a safety device.
‘Does this man want to go back to Odin’s tower after being burned like that?’
Sang-woo thought so, but he nodded.
“Hmm… I have thoughts of wanting to jump into Odin’s Tower raid once I get the price range. But it seems difficult to give a definitive answer. I’ll think about it some more.”
“Ah… that’s right. All right.”
“instead.”
Sang-woo grinned.
“If we decide to attack the Tower of Odin, we will contact the Kenus Guild first.”
“Ah, thank you.”
Park Won-tae was satisfied and asked for a handshake.
Sang-woo also held his hand tightly.
“Of course, you know you need a contract then, right?”
“Haha, Duduk will take care of Fei. Do not worry. Mr. Shark.”
“A shark? This is Sangwoo.”
“The tok said it was a shark.”
“…a nickname.”
Two people playing with words.
At first, they were in a contractual relationship, but as they bumped into each other often, they soon became close. and on the other hand.
The alter egos and Raven, who had finished the work of the Vatican, moved to Heritage Headquarters in the United States through sub-space.
“Master, I am going to meet Mr. Dubert, will you follow me?”
Among the alter egos, the one directly connected to Sang Woo asked.
Sangwoo originally planned to send only Raven to Korea first.
However, Raven’s sword had a problem with cracking during the fierce battle with the Master, so he decided to drop by the Heritage headquarters to have it repaired or to get a new sword.
Moreover,
‘… Dubert.’
Upon hearing Dubert’s name, Raven’s complexion hardened a bit.
For some reason it was a name he knew.
– I’ll go too.
“all right. Let’s go see Dubert first.”
Sang-woo headed to the basement of the Heritage headquarters while multi-tasking to send some of his alter egos to Korea with his Overmind skill.
Sang-woo and Raven arrive at the underground workshop with the temporary access card given to them by Aria.
Kung-kung-kung-
kung-
The two of them found Duvert in the middle of the sound of work.
Sang-woo exclaimed in a loud voice as he saw him still showing off his enormous forearms and engrossed in meticulous work.
“Mr. Dubert!!!”
“Oh, what a surprise! How are you?”
Duvert looked back at Sang-woo and said.
Then he found Raven next to Sang-woo.
Then his eyes widened.
“All of you…”
“It’s been a while.”
Raven seemed to already know Duver.
However, he spoke in a language he had never heard of that could not be translated even with smart goggles that Sang-woo could not understand.
‘What is he saying now?’
Duvert’s mouth opened as Sang-woo was standing still between the two facing each other.
“It’s been 40 years… How have you been?”
“That’s right. King.”
With those words, Raven lowered her head.
Sang-woo was surprised to see that.
‘What’s the situation?’
To think that the super-advanced master bowed his head.
Sang-woo could not understand the situation.
Then Duvert opened his mouth.
“A king… The kingdom of Riverhoun has long since collapsed. And how can I be a king who abandoned the people and ran away? It’s been a long time since I put down that falsehood. Now it’s just Duvert. Call me Duvert.”
“But…”
“That makes me feel comfortable. Please.”
“… All right.”
The two of them finished the conversation in such an unknown language.
Sang-woo intervened.
“Hmm, what did you two say? Do you know each other?” “Hmm, I know. She is from the same hometown as Raven.”
Dubert assumed that Sang-woo did not know about Tibern and evaded it like that.
“yes? A Tibern?”
However, since it was Sang-woo who had already heard about his hometown and story from Raven, he guessed right away.
“How did you do that…?”
Embarrassed Dubert.
he asked Raven right away.
“How far have you been talking to Jeong Sang-woo? What the hell are you doing…”
“I’m a disciple.”
Dubert was taken aback by the words.
“The Empire’s guardian sword, which was famous for not accepting apprentices, took in apprentices? This is a surprise.”
“It’s pretty usable anyway.”
Raven patted Sangwoo on the shoulder and said.
‘It’s not quite, but it’s a very great disciple.’
While holding down the things I wanted to brag about to Duvert.
Sang-woo, unable to understand the conversation between the two in an unfamiliar language, just laughed.
“Haha, anyway, Mr. Dubert also came from the other world. Anyway, Master and the people from the same hometown were finally reunited, and it went well. By the way, Mr. Dubert, how did you end up here?”
At Sang-woo’s question, Duvert let out a deep sigh.
“I think it will be a long talk. Go somewhere quiet for now. Oh, I should also sing an aria.”
“aria? Is there a ‘her’ too?”
“yes. You are working with me.”
“I want to see you soon.”
Raven said with a welcome look.
Eventually, Dubert led Sang-woo to the top floor to see Aria.
‘Could Bershael come from the planet Tibern too?’
And Sang-woo didn’t understand the words of the two people properly, but he guessed that Aria was also from Tibern because the two were going to see Aria.
Leaving behind Sang-woo’s confused mind, the three of them headed to Aria’s office located on the top floor.
When I entered the office, I saw Aria working in a dignified manner as always.
“What are you doing?”
“Fly.”
She was absorbed in her work at Dubert’s voice and looked up at the three people who had entered the office.
Muscular Duvert, tall Sang-woo, and a similarly-built man with silver hair standing next to him.
Surprise appeared on Arya’s face when her eyes were fixed on the silver-haired Raven.
“Could it be… Raven?”
“It’s been a while. aria.”
Arya got up and hurried to stand in front of Raven.
Then, holding Raven’s hands tightly, she shed tears.
“Guardian of the Empire… you are alive. I am very fortunate.”
“Thanks to that, I was able to escape.”
“I think Duke Raven must have suffered a lot alone. How long have you been on Earth?”
“I think it’s been about 30 years since I fell here.”
“It’s been 30 years… I think you’ve been through a lot during that time. Now, the story is going to be long, so please take a seat.”
Afterwards, they sat down and began to talk about what they had been through in front of Sang-woo.
“Hmm… Sang-woo, you are already a disciple of Raven, so you are no longer unrelated to us. So let me be honest with you. Who we are.” Dubert calmly began to tell his story.
“My name here on Earth is Duvert Heritage, but that is not really my name. To be precise, it’s the Dubert Big Hand. And I am a dwarf.”
“Are you a dwarf? That dwarf, a race of dwarfs who are good at making things, strong and delicate?”
“Hmmmm, the word ‘dwarf’ is a bit uncomfortable to hear. Anyway, you are right. I was a dwarf and I was the king who led all the dwarves.”
Dubert Big Hand.
He was the ruler of Riverhoun, a kingdom of dwarves in the north of the continent of Tibern.
