Chapter 365. Church of the Specter (2)
[Blue Torch – 20th floor only special item.]
Durability 1/1
Description: A torch that allows you to have a 1:1 stand-up with the leader of a faction. After designating the desired faction and lifting the torch, the leader belonging to that faction must respond to the solitude. In addition, this private stand is guaranteed complete secrecy, and if you use a torch, the locations of all factions on the 20th floor are displayed for 5 minutes.
blue torch.
It is a special item that can be used quite usefully on the 20th floor.
I never thought this would pop out of the specials.
‘I expected something good to come out, but this is completely out of specification?’
Jinhyuk swallowed a laugh.
One of the best items to come out of the 20th floor popped out.
‘Not only can I meet the head of a faction, but it’s also fraudulent to show the entire location like a map hack.’
This greatly increases the number of cards that can be used.
Jinhyeok kept the blue torch in a corner of the subspace.
in between.
After clearing up all the hobgoblins, Alice and the wedding ceremony approached.
“Like I said, I killed all but one.”
“But, will this really work?”
The two tilted their heads.
Even so, you won’t understand why he chose the hobgoblins out of many.
If it wasn’t for these guys, it was because there were a lot of them.
But hobgoblins are perfect for this job.
“Just trust me. Everyone has ideas.”
More than that…
the important thing is where the current Olympus raid is located…
Jinhyeok’s gaze turned to that distant place.
Information is needed.
as quickly as possible.
“Mr. Pesis.”
“Yes. Please tell me.”
“Could you give me directions to the nearest town from here?”
“Hmm. There is a medium-sized base called ‘Harun’ about 2 hours away from here. It’s more like a lawless area than a village to be exact, but it’s a place that has a good assortment.”
Harun Village.
It is a village made up of petty thieves and third-rate thieves.
Originally, in order to go here, you must have a pass made of human bones, which can only be used among them.
but.
If Pesis is with you, you will be able to find a new route to enter the interior through the heavy security.
“Let’s go.”
At least there wasn’t a place Pesis couldn’t go under the 41st floor.
***
It was about an hour after that when we arrived at the village.
As time is of the essence, Jinhyeok spurred on speed. Thanks to this, we were able to reach the entrance of the village much faster than the scheduled time.
“…You. Did you bring this as a pass?”
“Haha. Look at this? He doesn’t belong to ‘Scar’? Where did the guy who came from dare to hand over a counterfeit plaque?”
Bandits guarding the entrance caught one vagabond trying to enter the village.
In his hand was a human bone similar to a finger bone.
“Hey!”
The tramp, who had been exposed to everything, tried to escape.
of course.
Puffer Puck!
It was just his wish.
Red blood gushed from the head that had been hit directly by the mace.
“Keep… uh…”
The tramp’s staggering body collapsed.
“Somehow, it seems there is a separate method to determine the truth.
Chun Yoo-seong fiddled with the hilt as if asking for a decision.
Due to this guy’s personality, it would be more appropriate to just wipe it all out than to go back.
I guess that wouldn’t be too bad either. Otherwise, I might have to waste all my time fighting these bandits.
There was also a risk that could give the Church room to prepare for.
“Mr. Pesis. How about the driveway?”
“This way. The road is a bit rough, but please follow me while stepping only where I am stepping.”
Phesis started walking along the swampy path into the village.
It is deep to the waist, and if you take the slightest wrong step, you feel like you will be sucked into the endless mud.
If it wasn’t for Pesis, it’s a rough road that no one would have imagined that there was a road like this.
How long did it take?
The end of the swamp was visible.
however.
“wait a minute.”
Pesis, who was standing in the lead, stopped in place.
Confusion is clearly visible on his face.
“What’s wrong?”
“It… can’t be… I can’t… get in here.”
Phesis ran her hand through various parts of the grate.
It was possible to enter the village sewer by opening the bars,
but the bars were firmly sealed by something.
“So much iron. Get out of the way.”
Chun Yuseong drew his sword at once, and
the sword loaded with strong energy struck the bar in one blow.
Caang!
“What, what is this?”
What surprised me was Cheon Yoo-seong.
Even though it was loaded with strong wind, the bars were not scratched.
Only
purple letters appeared in the air.
It is an unfamiliar form of text, not a language or runes that you already knew.
“It’s interesting. I’ll try to destroy it once.”
Dark Hwang moved his joints and stepped forward.
“It’s useless. It’s a demonic language, but it’s a structure that can only be unlocked by mentioning a keyword that only the person who put this seal knows. No matter how strong the force is, it can’t be destroyed.”
In a word, it means that you can enter only by entering a password.
‘Hoo.’
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
I never thought I’d meet something sealed in the demonic language here.
‘It’s a guy who knows he’ll come through this passage…’
Meticulousness in building up the build-up without missing a single detail while knowing how this side will move.
An existence that possesses the status of being able to command ‘Sloth’, the cult leader, as a subordinate.
There is only one person who can do that.
Guntafer.
The demon king who was looking after the ‘Church of Specters’ came here himself.
But there was something he wasn’t expecting…
‘Because it’s not the first time I’ve solved a trap like this.’
The keywords that Guntaper likes to use have already been learned a long time ago.
Maybe if you’re going to use it in a place like this…
“Tuarat Pe Aramsur (where inferior things can’t reach).”
Jinhyuk murmured softly into the air.
OK.
Catch up… Geek!
The iron bars were rolled left and right, leaving enough space for one person to pass through.
“Ah, how on earth does player Kang Jin-hyuk know the Makai language…? No, more than that, this is only possible if you know which demon tribe uses which keyword, but what the hell…” Pesis said with her rabbit eyes open
. stuttered
I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
Because this was an area that was only possible if you deeply understood the habits and characteristics of the demons.
“When I was young, I went abroad to study abroad.”
“No, no matter how much it is, to the demon realm…”
“You just have to work hard.”
“Hey, it’s not a realm that requires hard work…”
“Don’t try to think in terms of common sense. That guy could have been to Pandemonium enough. Rather, quite a few demons might have invited him to be a professor, asking him to teach him a trick. ”
At Chun Yu-seong’s words, Jin-hyeok became furious.
“Hey. Wherever I look, you say it’s natural that I went to the Demon World? That’s absurd. For a nice person like me. Isn’t that right, everyone?”
Jinhyeok looked at everyone as if asking for consent.
Of course, there was no one who responded to it.
Master, of course, from spirit water to even sweet potato and Alice.
Everyone looked away and tried not to make eye contact.
“Whoa, that frog over there, is that a swamp frog?”
“That’s right. Please go. At first glance, it looked like a frog.”
“The big one might be a bullfrog.”
“Undine likes water!”
“Mooooogiii!”
There is no one to trust in the world.
Right then.
“My disciple.”
Dark Emperor approached with a warm smile.
Didn’t I say that the only one who can understand the heart of a disciple is the Master?
“Su, Master…”
“Evil isn’t necessarily bad.”
“yes?”
“Didn’t this school also receive the teachings of the Heavenly Demon? The iron-blooded will of worshiping nothing without resorting to ostentation and ostentation. That is the essence of the Demon. Chuck! Cancer! The place where the demons live must be like that. It’s like paradise for them.”
“…I think it would have been better if you didn’t say anything.”
Jinhyeok let out a small sigh and went inside the window.
***
Whoops! Puck! Puck!
“Die, die! Die! Kaak Tue!”
“Ha ha ha ha! Is that guy really dead?”
“Let’s just dump the body on the riverbank. Oh! Wait, these shoes. They’re the perfect size for my feet, right? You won’t need them in Hell, so I’ll use them.”
The town was filled with shouts.
It’s basic to drink alcohol here and there. Murder and robbery were so common that they were taken for granted.
After finding a suitable abandoned house inside the village and settling down, Jinhyeok took Cheon Yuseong and headed to the central square.
This is because it can attract attention when many people move at once.
The place we arrived at was a five-story wooden building.
“This is the contact point for the Thieves Guild.”
“It’s pretty shabby. Well, there won’t be any people who are crazy about alcohol and women investing in the office. Do we really have to lend a hand to these guys?”
“Still, the kids here have a lot of information. I’m sure they can find out where Ms. Teresa was.”
“…Sheesh. Got it.”
Jinhyeok and Chun Yuseong entered the building with their hoods on.
The sour body odor and the strong smell of alcohol sting your nostrils.
Inside, several drunken men were having a drink.
“What did you come for?”
Three beats later, the bald man who found the two opened his mouth.
“information.”
“Information… Um? But you’re a first-time guest. I’m guessing you’re from this stairway?”
“I just got over yesterday. So I need some information.”
“Yeah. We’re cheap. Are you okay?”
“I’m willing to pay the price as long as I sell the right information.”
Jinhyeok took out three red rubies from his pocket.
These were things she had stolen from Alice’s jewelry box before the imperial ball.
The bald man’s eyes changed dramatically.
The rest of the people who were drinking alcohol also flashed in their eyes.
“Oh my! These are very good people. I didn’t know what to say. Yes, what information can I tell you? Even so, we know all the news on the 20th floor.”
“The players came here a while ago, do you know?”
“Ah! The gentlemen from outside the tower? I remember. They tried to come here without a pass and got kicked out. But why are they?”
“I want to know where you are. Where are you now? How is it? Can you tell me?”
“Hmm. I know, but it’s kind of high-end information, so the price is a bit…”
The bald head scratched his head pretending not to know.
“five things. I’ll give you more.”
Jinhyeok poured out more rubies.
“If you walk east for two days from here, there is a large lake, and you should be there. I heard that the two-headed ichthyosaur that lives there produces some pretty salty by-products and catches them.”
“Lake…”
“Draw it. lake. It’s there. If we leave quickly, we can meet tomorrow at midnight.”
As if the deal was over, the bald man quickly packed the ruby in.
But,
“I don’t understand.”
Jin-hyeok, who was walking back to the entrance, suddenly locked the door. The iron
door was locked tightly. No
one
could come in or go out. “What,
what do you mean ?”
How did the bad players get there? And the bounty that your friends are looking at at the table… I’m sure it’s the one I’m looking for.”
Theresa’s face was drawn on the yellow paper on the table.
“…He said he just came over here today. How do you do that?” The
bald
head swallowed dryly.
At
the
same time
. The reason why I put up with the clumsy play is because it makes it more palatable.”
Jinhyeok also pulled out the newly acquired dagger.
“Is it a trap? shit. If you think we’ll just open our mouths, you’re very mistaken.”
“Yeah. Yes? You were a very loyal friend?”
I hope that that mindset will not change for a long time if possible.
I mean it sincerely
