Episode 118
“Awakening Orb… Fairy Wing Powder… Transcendence Stone… 9312 Dream Petals?! No, where the hell did you get these things…”
“I bought them.”
“You bought it?!”
blah blah!
As Damian chinned his chin at the bundle, Runos screamed.
Even seeing it with my own eyes, I couldn’t believe it.
Items that piled up like a mountain on the round table and flowed down, and the cost of the material alone reached millions of gold!
Moreover, considering that there were not just one or two types, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the items piled up in front of Runos’ eyes were tens of millions of gold.
In other words, the items Demian had brought out were more than enough to satisfy both the types and numbers of items that Runos had just explained to escape.
“How can I do this…”
“I can know everything. It’s not that difficult.”
Runos was speechless as he stared blankly at the items Damian had poured out.
I couldn’t readily understand.
I thought that I would be nothing more than a fledgling adventurer who paid a huge amount of money for Arwin and could not control his emotions and only knew how to open his eyes.
Now that I came back, Damian was not an innocent young man, but there was no other person like a poisonous snake who had hidden his fangs for this moment.
If it was an outside pass, it was an outside pass.
As the old saying also said, it was a sword of revenge, because this wicked man, who was too meticulous, had perfectly cornered Runos so that he could not escape even a single step.
‘This baby … Did you think it was like this from the beginning?!’
Jureuk!
Thus, Runos recalled the conversations he had just had with Damian, while feeling that the things he had missed so far became one like lightning and penetrated his brain.
For Runos, who was already called the Golden Hand in the world and had an irreplaceable reputation as Master Alchemist.
He was in a state where he could never refuse Damian’s request, having had both the justification and the materials needed for transformation.
“How is that possible?”
“What what…?!”
“The tears of the World Tree.”
Clap!
And Damian locked the door to the lab.
*****
_
dump!
A whitish figure tumbled into the round table room. The skinny ones were just like the branches of a tree.
His gorgeous gray hair was dyed black as if he had been hit by a bomb, and his skin-and-bone face was crumbly, as if every drop of moisture had dried up.
“Save…j…”
Rattle!
Then, as the fallen human figure stretched out his palm toward the entrance on the other side, darkness began to cover his elderly body as if the night had fallen.
“Where are you going, sir?”
“Hee hee hee!”
He was a black-haired, tanned, muscular bully with a height of 185 cm and a weight of nearly 90 kg.
“That… Doesn’t our teacher have the ability to learn? I told you that you can’t go out until I’m clearly transformed.”
“This evil…!”
Swoop!
As Damian sat down on the bedside and smirked, Runos raised his bloodshot eyes.
Only the knife was not lifted, but there was no complete robbery.
How many days and how many days have you been there?
After Damian locked the door, Runos couldn’t rest even for a moment, and had to weep the tears of the world tree diligently and diligently (?) for three days.
In fact, it was a miracle to be alive.
This terrifying human – in fact, Damian in front of him did not look like a human – if he tried to run away, he would appear like a ghost and break his hamstrings. .
“wake up. I heard that you are worth what you receive?」
「Kill the Lord!! Rather kill me!!!」
「Why are you so mean? 」
「 Hee hee?!」
Even if you go, at least one tear from the World Tree is fine, isn’t it?」
In other words, this crazy psychopathic adventurer worked for three days and nights until Runos synthesized the tears of the World Tree.
“Give me. hurry.”
“Chehehe!!!”
Damian snatched the item from Runos’ hand.
It was an amber round crystal.
Inside is a mysterious crystal that is infinitely transparent and even emits a subtle light.
Damian looked closely at the amber crystal and nodded in satisfaction.
[Notice: You have obtained the Tears of the World Tree!]
It was the result of waiting for quite a long time.
“Look~. I told you. You can do it, so why not?”
“I’m bored to death, master!”
When Damian spoke while rolling the tears of the World Tree with his fingers, the wad climbed up on top of his head and reciprocated.
It was the owner and the summoned beast.
The reason why Damian was able to turn Runos into a soft machine was because every time Runos tried to run away, newbies scattered all over the place forced him.
Whenever he tried to do something suspicious or chant magic, a bunch of poisonous needles flew, and Runos could feel for himself how terrifying the potential of this ruinous duo was.
It was the same as seeing the poison needle put in the back of the head as soon as the door was locked.
Wondering what a new chick could do, he didn’t even stop at all even though the wad flew over his shoulder.
It was because he was hit by a poisonous needle before he could even activate a defensive artifact, and he couldn’t come to his senses.
“It took longer than expected. They said it was a golden hand, so I thought it would take two days.”
Damian looked over at Runos, who was surrounded by yellow hairballs, and opened the subspace inventory.
As he said, it was because it took a lot of time.
The reason why Damian bought all the lowest grade material items before coming to the Principality of Parma.
That’s the reason why not just one or two, but dozens of items cost millions of gold to attract the soul.
It was obviously because it took a lot of time and money to create a hero-level item.
The fact that there were more than one or two rare grade or higher material items he needed also played a part.
It was the result of blowing away all of the equipment items in the fierce battles they had been fighting.
Besides, starting with the true education of Emperor Blood, who has already been heating up the community for a week, they are about to advance to the Central Continent.
Taking three days to create one hero-level material item called Tears of the World Tree was not efficient at all.
“It’s a bunch. let’s go.”
“I got it, master!”
rattle!
Before long, Damien opened the door to Runos’s office.
* * *
A pub in the Duchy of Parma.
“James. Did you hear that rumor?”
“What rumors are you talking about?”
“Why are you talking about the ugly rumors going around these days?”
James tilted his head as Coulson, who was sitting across from him, put down his beer glass.
It was because Coulson’s tone, unlike usual, was full of excitement.
James, who is currently training as an apprentice in the Mage Tower, didn’t have the slightest amount of time to pay attention to urban ghost stories, but it was difficult to just ignore the words of Coulson, who had known him for a long time.
“What is that…. a craftsman killer or something?”
“okay! That’s him!”
“I’ve heard of it, but why?”
Beep beep!
So, while recalling the gossip that had been circulating lately, James began to ask Coulson insinuatingly, drinking a glass of beer he was tasting on a vacation after a long absence.
Although Colson was undoubtedly a big fan of alcohol and gossip, he often had at least one or two useful stories to tell.
“No, he said he worked on Mr. Glint yesterday!”
“aha. I guess Glint-sama is working… hey!”
Coulson brought his face closer and whispered in his ear, and James’ eyes widened at once.
It was because a familiar name came out of his mouth.
Glint Margiela. As for attribute stones, he is said to be an authority on the Mage Tower with attributes that are said to be unmatched.
His reputation was so famous that even those who worked in the Magic Tower were spies without knowing it, and James also felt admiration and even awe when he saw the attribute stones of amazing purity he created.
It was said that it was not worth mentioning in a mere urban legend.
But to think that Glint Margiela’s name was pouring out of Coulson’s mouth like water…
“What the hell happened to that Glint?!”
“That’s what I mean… last night…
”
Before he knew it, James had no choice but to bring his ear closer to Coulson’s gesture as he waved his fingers towards him, and at the same time, his face changed moment by moment at the words coming out of his mouth.
It was also because the words that flowed out of Coulson’s mouth were so terrible that even James, who had a normal personality, could not help but speak.
“You understand now? Now this city is by no means a safe place. That means the artisan killer could be with us right now!”
“That kind of…”
Gulp!
Coulson narrowed his brows as he spoke, and James’ face turned to contemplation.
It was to the point where I was salivating without even realizing it.
An adventurer from another world who pretends to be very wealthy on the outside and then squeezes people until he creates the desired thing after approaching!
In addition, the artisan killer, who covered his face with the < Brotherhood Robe Set >, hid his identity and said that he was touring the most famous mage towers and breaking seals.
The words did not break the seal, and in fact it was close to torture.
For example, if you recall that Runos, the Golden Hand, has now stopped all external activities and entered seclusion for trauma treatment, Colson’s words were not rumors of a nature that could be dismissed as lies.
The two bloody eyes that were red like devils and the cruel (?) tricks that matched them were so frightening that they gave goosebumps to all the staff in the Mage Tower.
“You be careful too! You never know when you might become his target!”
“That should be it. Be careful too!”
Before anyone knew it, Damian was known to the people of the Principality of Parma as a devil with red eyes who specialized in hunting artisans.
“…are they talking about us right now?”
“It seems like that, master!”
Of course, the wild boar-headed man who had been listening to the story was busy slicing and eating a rib eye steak grilled to medium well.
“shit. I feel like I’m going to die because it’s been all night.”
“It’s all up to the owner! This is why a wanted order has been issued!”
Beep beep!
Damian gulped down his beer mug, letting the conversation between James and the middle-aged man go in one ear.
Whatever the gossip about it, it wasn’t that important.
200,000 gold. All the property currently in his hands.
It was Damian who had accumulated enormous wealth from Park Man-du’s party in the early days to Jeungsan Shin-up through numerous PKs, but now he can say that he has almost nothing left.
It was the amount after taking care of all the fixed expenses, such as rent for the semi-basement he was renting, daily necessities for his family, and his younger brother Jin-hoon’s pocket money.
Although he did not repeat the mistakes he made in his previous life, that is, the days when he lived a subhuman life by only immersing himself in games, throwing away even his present life.
The amount of money Damian spent on various materials was astronomical, to the extent that he invested all his assets except for the minimum fixed expenses.
In other words, it was life and death.
It was because the amount Damien used during the nearly 15 days was almost 10 million gold.
Demian’s investment this time could be said to have attracted even the soul to the extent that he had to buy popular items such as hard shells and see market profits even after disposing of Alione’s by-products.
If others saw it, it would have been a good thing to hear the madman say.
“Well, I made everything.”
Tring!
Damian opened his subspace inventory and looked at the crops he had harvested so far.
It was the result of squeezing out countless Masters of the Mage Tower.
Just as there is a saying that water comes out of a dried squid when squeezed, Damian didn’t show it, but he seemed to be quite unreasonable.
Dealing with countless blue collar masters—which was also the reason Damian was able to turn them around—wasted a lot of energy beyond imagination.
The items in the inventory were masterpieces of blood and sweat, enough to recover all the investment money even if you brought them to the exchange right away and sold them.
“Then shall we go?”
Crunchy!
Before long, Damian stretched out and opened the bar door.
