Episode 125. How old people win the festival (2)
Mushrooms with colorful patterns.
It was an [acidic mushroom] that could only be found in the 6th floor ‘Elf’s Forest’.
‘Hoo. Well, come to think of it, this was also here.’
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
Acid mushrooms, as the name suggests, are mushrooms with strong acid poison.
It means that it is an ingredient of death that melts from the mouth to the esophagus as soon as you eat it.
But poisonous blowfish is a delicacy.
Even acidic mushrooms, when properly cooked, could be reborn as ingredients that would bring even gourmets to tears.
‘Of course, not everyone can handle this.’
Since the entire mushroom could be damaged with just one very fine knife move, the chef required extreme skill.
It’s fun.
Should I say that the desire for a challenge is likely to burn?
It was when Jinhyeok was examining the mushrooms very slowly.
Sylvia came out of the forest on the other side and found Jinhyeok.
“Jinhyuk! That elder is calling for a while… Huh?”
Seeing Jinhyeok gathering mushrooms, Sylvia widened her eyes.
“Would you like to eat that?”
“yes. I thought I would try it.”
“ah. I think it could be because you don’t know, but it’s a mushroom that you can’t eat because it’s an acidic mushroom. The recipe was lost hundreds of years ago, so we are just leaving this mushroom alone.”
Sylvia smiled brightly.
For the first time, the fact that Jin-hyeok informed him of something he did not know seemed to have come to him quite happily.
I’m a little sorry for having to step on that expectation cruelly, but…
I can’t help it.
I can’t back down after hearing those words.
“Then I will have to give it a try.”
“yes? I can’t believe it…”
“You can look forward to it. Goinmul’s special mushroom dish. Even if the two die while eating, there is no evidence.”
He said that the festival that had been postponed would be held tonight. The reason Elder Pennheim was looking for him was probably for a reason related to that.
and.
The theme of the cuisine to be used for this festival has now been decided.
＊＊＊
The night sky is full of stars.
Beyond the time of mourning for the loss of a comrade and the burning of the village.
Finally, the festival of the elves was held.
‘It’s really cool.’
Jinhyeok walked through the forest with a leisurely pace.
Countless meteor showers and fireflies flying through the grass created a fantastic sight.
Of course, among them, the crown jewels were the mysterious spirits and the fancy elves.
[The fire spirit ‘Salamander’ spits small fire.]
[The water spirit ‘Undine’ is startled and starts evolving with water.]
The water and fire spirits, which cannot be seen on the lower floors of the tower, are holding fig fruits in both hands. I was running around
The elves also enjoyed the festival to the fullest, playing various musical instruments and drinking fragrant drinks.
timely.
Tring!
The blue status window flickered in front of Jinhyeok.
[I saw an amazing sight.]
[You can get the top banner if you upload it to the HOT issue video of the top of the ordeal!]
The system also acknowledged it.
Of course, this scene is worth seeing for a lot of people.
Well, where else can you see such a spectacle?
Even for everyone’s eyes, this video should be preserved for a long time.
“okay. I will start filming the video from now on.”
Jinhyuk nodded.
When the broadcasting system was activated, everything seen and heard began to be saved.
I don’t know, but if this video is uploaded later, it will be able to introduce the unique location of the Tower of Trials and drive the players who raise the number of views into the abyss.
“Jinhyuk! Here it is!”
“Kuhm! greatness! We are here.”
“mosquito!”
Various voices called Jinhyeok.
It was Sylvia, Ellis, and sweet potato.
They put a lot of effort into their costumes for this festival.
Sylvia was wearing traditional elven garb, flowing and translucent, and it matched perfectly with her golden bobbed hair.
Ellis, on the other hand, chose a nice dark dress.
It seems that he prepared with a very firm mind to be decorated with gorgeous jewels in an atmosphere of lofty dignity.
In fact, the two invested 3 hours for this festival and polished their souls.
however.
“Tsk tsk. When you have time for that, practice shooting another arrow and throwing a blood spear. More than anything else, how would you scare your opponent with that outfit?”
Jinhyuk’s reaction was cold.
It’s like an iron wall.
“No, even after seeing this, do you still hear that kind of sound? this dress. They caught dwarves in the past and made them make them for a year! I’m usually busy giving compliments as soon as I see them!”
Alice raised her voice.
A blue blade froze at the pointed tone.
“No. If it’s the uniform of a stranger…”
Jinhyeok, who quickly looked around, saw someone and shouted loudly.
“Look at me! excuse me!”
At the place the finger pointed to, there was Teslon with an expression as if he had lost his country.
Even though everyone was bragging about themselves, Teslon still had to pay the price of the bet.
Jinhyuk nodded his head proudly.
Big.
“How practical and intimidating is the outfit?”
Red mustache and magic bat in a pink dress.
It is the look of an old person with cold sweat running down his back just by bumping into him.
‘It looks at least three times as strong.’
To be honest, if I ran into a guy like that on the field, I couldn’t help but be nervous.
“Whoa. Jinhyuk-nim…”
“It’s done. don’t talk don’t talk It’s my fault. You should have expected what to expect.”
Sylvia and Elise sighed in exhaustion.
“master! An ignorant mosquito!”
I also added a word of sweet potato.
But either way or not.
Jinhyeok admired Teslon’s outfit with a proud face.
also.
‘I didn’t get my eyes wrong.’
That was the best suit to flexibly switch to battle in case of an emergency.
How much time had passed while laughing and chatting like that?
“Kuhm! greatness!”
Pennheim, who was among the elders, cleared his throat.
The gaze was directed to one side.
“Originally, the concert should be held right away, but before that, this old man will presumptuously say one word and move on.”
After a moment of pause, Pennheim looked down at the crowd.
“Everyone will know. The incident three weeks ago when humans outside the tower invaded the village and lost many comrades and a part of the precious forest.”
“…Whoa.”
“Keuuu…”
“…”
The atmosphere rapidly subsided.
It was because it was difficult to shake off the painful memories of losing precious things.
Of course, I didn’t bring up this story to dig up that wound.
Pennheim continued.
“But right here. The village was able to survive thanks to Kang Jin-hyeok. That we were able to mourn those we sent here first. Something that can continue tomorrow. It’s all thanks to that benefactor.”
thanks and gratitude. And beyond that, the atmosphere was reversed again by the fact that it allowed the existence of a race to continue.
Everyone looked at Jinhyeok with an indescribable gaze.
Nod!
Nodding….
When Jinhyeok’s eyes met, he bent down on one knee and said hello.
Thousands of elves bowing at the same time created another rare scene.
Even the spirits expressed their gratitude for protecting the elves’ forest.
Small sparks and a small amount of water droplets scattered in different directions, and the wind gently embraced Jinhyeok.
“Ugh. Again, this is incredibly burdensome.”
Jinhyeok muttered as if embarrassed by excessive attention and manners.
“You don’t have to worry. Everyone is truly grateful to Jinhyeok-nim.”
Sylvia also smiled brightly.
“that’s right. Accept it proudly. If you are my contractor, this much is natural.”
Contrary to her natural tone, Elise’s face was slightly reddened.
It seemed that he seemed unbearably happy that his contractor was recognized by everyone.
finally.
“This old man. this town. and our tribe. I will remember you forever.”
Pennheim bowed his head deeply.
＊＊＊
After the short speech, the festival began in earnest.
To be precise, the concert that could be called the flower of the festival began.
As the mysterious and beautiful melody rang out, exclamations flowed from everywhere.
at that time.
“How are you? This is the music of the elves. It is an art on a different level from that of humans.”
Teslon, who had approached before I knew it, was arrogant.
hmm.
“I can’t sympathize with you at all if you try on the weight in that outfit.”
A pink gay prince showing up with a magic wand.
uhh It’s so solemn and grand that it makes you bow your head.
“Keugh! This bastard…!”
“Don’t get too hot on a happy day. I know at least that your music is great.”
“…Hoo. Still, it seems that the ears are not hung as ornaments.”
“Well, I tend to hear a lot about my hearing. And with music like this, no matter who comes, they can’t help but admire it.”
Jinhyuk shrugged.
This is true.
Just being still here made me feel like the accumulated stress melted away like snow.
“Come to think of it, I heard that you will also come to the concert. Is that true?”
“I heard that everyone is free to participate. I thought I would try to experience coming here.”
“Puhaha! It’s an experience… that’s good. Despair over the level difference is also a good experience. However, keep one thing in mind. As for your fighting prowess, I admit it, but this is a completely different world.”
Theslon burst into madness.
This guy also has a weird personality.
I can feel the whining persistence of an elementary school student who wants to win at least in this field because he loses in everything else.
Anyway, this is why a guy with a twisted ego is called abnormal.
of course.
‘Though I’m also crooked.’
The more I look at this, the more I want to throw my opponent into the abyss.
okay.
The pink dress and the magic wand were a bit weak.
With that level of look, he is at the level of the weakest among the deceased.
“Then let’s do this. If I win…”
“Winning? you mean?”
“Stop talking and listen. If I don’t win, that outfit now. I’ll take it off right away.”
“…good night. Please tell me sometime.”
“You must have just heard about the conditions for failure. Instead, if I win, I’ll add cat ears, a tail, and fluffy rabbit fur shoes to your outfit.”
“What kind of bullshit is that now! I feel ashamed to be wearing it now, so why would I wear something like that again!”
Quaang!
Teslon hit the ground with his foot.
He was so embarrassed that his face was flushed red.
“huh? Are you afraid you won’t lose to a human?”
“It is not. Because that won’t happen.”
“I just had to do it myself. Your side will win anyway, so what are you worried about?”
“Profit! yes good! I’ll make you feel the difference between the levels of elves and humans!”
Teslon snapped at the bait again.
What is this? It’s a piece of cake.
If everyone in the world were like this guy, scammers would do Blue Marble with a building in Gangnam…
“Are you sure you promised?”
“An elf always keeps his word.”
“As expected, they are of a noble race.”
Jinhyuk smiled and turned around.
As I went up the flat hill, I saw various musical instruments.
There is only one to choose.
[Decartan]
A musical instrument exclusively for elves. It looks similar to a violin.
Needless to say, he is a much more difficult guy to handle than a violin.
‘I made a huge mistake here in the past.’
It’s a recorder.
Now that I think about it, it was a dark history that made me want to kick the blanket 30,000 more times.
But now it’s different.
‘Don’t be different.’
Jinhyeok slowly gathered his mana.
then that moment.
[Lv3 ‘Heavenly Melody’ is activated.]
An indescribable energy ran through the fingertips and continued to the instrument.
It’s a start.
