Episode 133 Lion’s Castle (4)
“Is this the scale of your soul?”
Inside the glass bottle were red scales that looked like enlarged fish scales.
[Oh no! That was my subordinate…]
“Then the soul of your subordinate, not you, would have been floating here. “I still haven’t come to my senses.”
[Ah…]
Carden couldn’t think of anything, as if his mind was empty. I couldn’t think of anything to say.
-That’s the soul scale that contains that guy’s soul.
“They are strange people who put their souls into their scales.”
-I heard that the red scales are a special item. They say you can fit even a huge soul into it.
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin tapped the glass bottle with his finger.
[Oops! Hehe!]
I only lightly tapped it, but Carden, who was in a spirit form, screamed and wriggled.
“Even when his body was broken, there was no scream, so it seems he really put his soul into it.”
-That’s because you destroyed his body before he could even scream.
“is it?”
Baek Woo-jin laughed and tapped the glass bottle rhythmically as if he was playing a drum.
[Eek! Keck! Bff!]
For the first time in hundreds of years, Carden felt a headache that felt like his head was going to explode.
I couldn’t come to my senses because my immunity to pain was low.
[Stop that!]
“Stop it? “That’s not it.”
Baek Woo-jin threw a glass bottle into the air with an evil smile and caught it.
[What are you doing!]
Carden let out a piercing scream.
I felt my heart sink every time the glass bottle floated in the air.
“name is?”
[….]
“It’s annoying, should I just break this?”
[Kakarden! It’s Carden!]
Carden urgently revealed his name. However, Baek Woo-jin’s expression did not relax.
“It’s Carden? “Do you still not understand what your situation is?”
[This is Carden….]
“Bigger.”
[It’s Carden!]
Carden screamed in a voice full of anger.
Even though he was in a spirit form, it was visible that he was shaking.
-How is this different from a gangster? You really…
I swallowed back the words that darkness is amazing.
If he can threaten or take advantage of the other person, he really becomes a bully.
“What is this castle?”
[Yes?]
“What is the purpose of this castle?” “What on earth do they exist for?”
[Oh, that’s it…]
“Should I open the lid?”
[Actually, this castle is not mine!]
The moment Baek Woo-jin was about to open the lid of the glass bottle, Carden approached him at incredible speed.
[This is my master’s castle.]
“Master?”
[Yes.]
“Is your name Victor by any chance?”
Baek Woo-jin remembered that the items he had obtained a while ago had Victor in their names.
[no. The name is from His previous play….]
“Play?”
-ah! I remembered!
Darkness approached Baek Woo-jin and quickly tapped him on the shoulder.
-Victor was that guy!
‘Is this someone from your world?’
-I have never met that name when I wrote it, but I know who it is. And he’s not human.
‘what?’
-It’s a dragon.
“Dragon?”
[Huh!]
Carden was startled by Baek Woo-jin’s muttering and screamed.
[How…]
When I was about to reveal that my master was a dragon, the human in front of me said the name first, so I couldn’t help but be shocked.
‘Could it possibly be reading memories or minds?’
Since he was immune to curses, resistant to magic, and had excellent swordsmanship, I thought this could really be the case.
‘omg!’
The moment Carden looked into Baek Woo-jin’s sharp eyes, he was convinced that he could read his mind.
‘I have to be careful about new thoughts.’
Carden, who was swearing under his breath, closed his mind and began to clear his head.
“hey.”
[Yep!]
Carden gave a loud answer to Baek Woo-jin so as not to look unpleasant.
“Why did the dragon create this place?”
[This castle was built for entertainment.]
“For what entertainment are you making this big castle?”
[He is the king of the undead.]
“Huh?”
[It was created for the concept of the king of the undead defending against the invasion of the warrior party or knight magicians.]
Carden’s voice gradually became more and more muffled as he spoke, as if he was embarrassed.
“What is the name of the dragon that is your master?”
[This is Servik Marcalector.]
-It’s him, after all. It may seem absurd, but that skeleton is probably right.
Darkness agreed with Carden.
‘How did you find out?’
-Because I met Servik before. And the lizard uses his true name to name Yu Hee-yong. The real name has Big and Ter in it.
‘ah!’
-That guy was famous as a dragon who enjoyed unusual pastimes. Even when he met me, he played a strange hero role. It looks like this lion’s castle was built before that.
“These are unusual pastimes.”
[Huh!]
Carden took a step back in shock.
I was afraid that Baek Woo-jin would not believe me, so I tried to tell him about the unusual pastimes his master used, but he was the first to say that they were unique pastimes.
‘After all, this person reads minds!’
Carden became convinced that Baek Woo-jin could read his thoughts.
“But why are you in charge of this castle?”
[He got sick of that and left.]
“Are you sick of it?”
[When the owner was here, Fes and I were on the 7th floor. It was much more difficult than it is now. Several powerful people came, but not a single race was able to get through the Khan-level Death Knights and Liches on the 8th floor and reach the master.]
“Ah, then…”
[Yes. The master said it was no fun, gave me back the soul scale, and left.]
Carden looked up into the sky to see if he was remembering old times.
‘Still, it’s quite kind of you to give me back the soul scale.’
-That’s not it. He must have tied that lich to this castle.
‘what?’
-Dragons are not a very kind species. Not interested in anything other than their own interests. Even if I knew about the change in this castle, I wouldn’t come.
‘Hmm…’
Baek Woo-jin turned his gaze to Carden.
“You can’t leave this castle?”
[That’s right.]
“Then you don’t even know how the continent works?”
[This is a completely separate space from the continent. You can’t know any news from outside. We have lived only in this castle for nearly a thousand years.]
“Then what is the key that brought me here?”
[It must have been sprayed by the owner a long time ago.]
“I see.”
Baek Woo-jin, who heard all of Carden’s story, finished organizing it.
‘In the end, this was a dragon’s entertainment space, but these undead were abandoned by the dragon. The key is something that the dragon gave away a long time ago.’
-Why are you so upset because you feel like you were played by a lizard?
‘No way. I feel really good right now.’
-ok?
‘I got the legendary gloves and a unique elixir, but that’s not the end.’
-What do you mean?
Baek Woo-jin did not answer but held out his hand to Carden.
“Spit out the item.”
[Yes?]
-Huh! What is this?…
“Bring me some items your master left behind.”
Baek Woo-jin snapped his fingers as if he were Carden’s master.
-How is this different from a gangster? men and horses!
* * *
“Is one really all?”
[That’s right. How dare I deceive you?]
Carden knelt in his spiritual form and nodded.
“Tsk.”
Baek Woo-jin clicked his tongue as if he was disappointed.
There was nothing useful about the equipment, and only one unique ring and mana stones remained.
-That’s enough. What more are you trying to get? You idiot!
‘It’s a shame.’
This elixir would increase the characteristics and level of the sword, so it was natural that the more there was, the better.
‘I’d like to try it sometime.’
Baek Woo-jin swallowed the yellow elixir in one swallow.
As soon as the Danhwan passed through the throat, it melted like a hot liquid and spread throughout the body.
[You have absorbed Almighty Victor’s Danhwan.]
[The characteristics for which the grade will increase are randomly selected.]
[Gwangho Island rises to level 2.]
[Gwangho Island’s activation speed increases.]
[Gwangho Island’s paralysis duration increases.]
‘It really went up!’
Baek Woo-jin was delighted when he saw the status window.
Just in case, the effect of this single pill was real.
-I can’t believe that a person who eats so well is given something like this…
‘Overeating like this is always welcome.’
“Carden.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled and called Carden.
[Yes!]
“Do you know how to make these sweet rings?”
[Only the owner knows. The ingredients are special, so it will be difficult to make.]
“Tsk.”
Baek Woo-jin licked his appetite with regret and swallowed the second pill.
[Hyper-concentration increases to level 4.]
[When hyper-concentration is activated, enemy movements appear slower.] [
When hyper-concentration is activated, all stats increase by 3%.]
[The auror consumption of hyper-concentration increases.]
“ “It exploded!”
Baek Woo-jin, who saw the hologram window, shouted in joy.
Hyperconcentration had a special ability to slow down the enemy’s movement.
It was a huge gain to have all the abilities added to those outstanding characteristics.
‘Even if the auror consumption increases, this is a huge deal.’
-Wow, 3%! What an ability! What a shit world!
‘Ah, I’m happy.’
-Green one. If you’ve got everything, let’s go quickly. Because I don’t want to be here.
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin was still looking at Carden even after hearing the words of darkness.
“hey.”
[Yes.]
“Do you have the key to get here?”
[That…]
“Say it quickly.”
[there is! Actually, I can make it.]
Carden looked into Baek Woo-jin’s calm eyes and revealed the truth.
‘Because this person cannot be fooled.’
Carden had no choice but to tell the truth because he thought Baek Woo-jin could read his inner thoughts.
“Good. “Give it to me.”
[Yes?]
“Give me the keys.”
Baek Woo-jin waved his hand as if he had left the keys.
[Ah, I understand!]
Carden searched the warehouse and handed two keys to Baek Woo-jin.
[But haven’t you done everything you need to do here? There is nothing more to come out.]
-Okay. Why don’t you want to go out? You took the money and did everything you had to do.
“No, not yet.”
Baek Woo-jin shook his head and looked at Carden.
“You can quickly resurrect the low-level undead on the first to third floors, right?”
[yes? That’s right.]
“Then get ready.”
-Yamsaeng. What on earth are you thinking?
“well.”
Baek Woo-jin just laughed.
* * *
“Balgeom!”
Under Hong Nam-gi’s instructions, the six members of the medical sword team who were seated in front used the foot sword technique.
Sigh!
Blue sword energy flowed from their swords and cut down five ghouls at the same time.
“transform!”
The 12 swordsmen, excluding the 6 in the back, took turns switching positions and continued to attack the ghoul.
“There are three skeleton assault troops at the rear!”
“Hye-ri Park! “Ara Hong!”
“okay!”
Hyeri Park and Ara Hong turned to the rear.
Okay! Whoops!
The two swordsmen used strong rotations on their swords to block the charge of three skeleton assault soldiers.
Gigeek.
When the skeleton assault soldier tried to swing his weapon again, the swordsmen behind him stepped forward and broke the assault soldier’s legs and arms.
The Medical Swordsman blocked the undead that came from all directions.
Their movements were systematic, like looking at the gears in a clock.
“We finally conquered the third floor!”
Kim Woo-hyuk, who disposed of the last skeleton soldier, shouted for independence.
“If there weren’t any mistakes, we could have finished it yesterday.”
Hye-ri Park muttered with a regretful expression.
“no. What I did today is enough. “Thank you all for your hard work.”
Hong Nam-gi checked the status of the prosecutors and encouraged everyone.
“that’s right. Like it when you like it. “Everything was great today.”
“There are truly great people.”
Hye-ri Park looked up at the ceiling and continued speaking.
“How did you find a place like this, Master?”
“That’s right. He is always beyond our imagination.”
Hong Nam-gi nodded.
Baek Woo-jin brought the medical team to this castle after gathering them in his private practice room three weeks ago.
I don’t know what they did or how they did it, but this castle was the best training place with undead constantly appearing.
“Because He always exceeds our imaginations.”
“that’s right. “From the first time I met you, you were on a different level from other people.”
After finishing cleaning up, Hong Ara nodded.
* * *
“It’s over.”
Baek Woo-jin was watching the medical swordsman fight in Carden’s room.
“Three weeks was a little faster than expected.”
Baek Woo-jin grinned as if he liked the performance of the medical school.
-You are a really great guy.
‘suddenly?’
-I never thought you would use this place as a training ground. This time I was really surprised.
Heukam was greatly impressed by Baek Woo-jin’s open thinking.
After conquering the Lion’s Castle, I thought there were two options: kill the lich and go out, or leave the lich behind.
However, Baek Woo-jin planned to use the lion’s castle to train the extremely weak swordsman swordsmen.
Thanks to this, the medical school’s skills improved dramatically over the course of three weeks.
In addition, because the passage was opened to his personal training room, no one except those in the sword pavilion knew about this place.
‘He’s a guy who really surprises people.’
Baek Woo-jin’s actions were always surprising, but this time I was especially impressed.
‘Because there are many surprises left in the future. There’s no need for that anymore.’
-This is why I can’t praise you. Tsk.
‘I’m kidding.’
Baek Woo-jin slapped the darkness and stood up.
“Thank you for your hard work today. Next time, increase the amount of undead and try a different strategy.”
“Okay! Thank you for your hard work!”
Carden, who regained his body, hastily nodded.
He showed the utmost courtesy as if he were a loyal servant.
It was partly because Baek Woo-jin had soul scales, but it was also important that he brought us external items.
“okay.”
Baek Woo-jin waved his hand and left the castle.
-But why did you bring things from your world to that guy?
“just.”
The reason Baek Woo-jin gave Carden some toys was actually because of darkness.
Being trapped in this castle for hundreds of years due to the owner’s whim somehow reminded me of darkness, so I brought him a few items.
“Thank you for your effort.”
When I came down to the castle, Moon Ju-young greeted me with a smile.
“I should try moving up to the door guard as well.”
“If you give me the chance, I will definitely do it.”
“Then shall we do it tomorrow?”
“I would like to, but the dungeon you mentioned has been opened.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled at Moon Ju-young’s words.
‘You’re finally here.’
