Episode 213. The soul of the deceased
was light…
The all-too-familiar energy tickled my skin.
Although they had never met in person, Chun Yoo-seong immediately recognized who he was.
The person who initiated the death penalty.
The traitor who thought he would have died long ago and turned into a white bone now appeared in front of his eyes.
“Hmm. You’re a child called Cheon Yoo-seong.”
He looks like he just passed his 20s.
Baek Seol-rin was also saddened by the fact that she was the second most beautiful, but even she was nothing compared to the mourning ceremony.
It was hard to believe that the aura that emanated from her jet-black short hair and clear eyes, like a fairy recorded in folktales, belonged to a human.
“It wasn’t… dead.”
“I was able to enjoy a long life thanks to the metamorphosis of the half bone and half the light. Of course, there were some restrictions due to the tower, but…” Was it something like that
?
The talent gained by destroying the tower system and walls.
Now I can understand the reason why Sayeong Chu was able to stay here.
“Such a hermit… why did you come to see me?”
“I felt the same thing in you as me. A talent different from that of the criminal. And a desire that could not be satisfied with that alone.”
Chuhon Sayeong slowly fixed her sword.
“You’ve mastered the soul sword. It was quite interesting to see this child through someone else’s sword. However, it still has an immature taste.”
Swoop.
The herbivore that Chun Yu-seong had just unfolded a little while ago…
No, a sophisticated and elegant sword that was incomparable to him was demonstrated.
It is a perfect sword dance that gives goosebumps.
Chun Yoo-seong fell in love with the sword of Chu-hon-sa-young to the extent that he even forgot the passage of time.
‘Is this a true soul mortal sword?’
If only I could learn all of these rules…
if I could make all of them my own.
He will definitely be able to surpass Jinhyeok.
And finally. One bar of sword dance was over.
Chuhon Sayeong looked at Cheon Yooseong with clear eyes.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a lie. I understand if you consider it a means to an end. Just swear to use your sword for me to reach the end.”
Even if it’s covered in pretense.
And even if you don’t know what the consequences will be.
Chuhonsayeong asked Chun Yuseong to set the example of a teacher.
‘Already… this is the only way.’
I was prepared to throw everything away in order to become stronger.
But at the last moment, Jinhyeok’s face appeared in Cheon Yuseong’s mind.
I’ve always thought of him as an abomination and smirk.
For some reason, the thought of seeing his disappointed expression made a part of my heart ache.
Awesome!
‘Don’t think of it as a betrayal. Because you and I were enemies from the beginning.’
The worry didn’t last long.
“I’ll see you, Master.”
Chun Yoo-seong gave an example.
＊＊＊
Around the time the sun rises.
Jinhyeok followed Pennheimer to the ‘Imperial Treasure House’ located on the outskirts of the capital.
While the seemingly plausible treasures were inside the imperial palace, this place was the place where the real treasures cherished and cherished by the imperial family were collected.
“I’m here now. I’ll open the door, so please wait here for a moment.”
With a large cliff in front of him, Pennheimer put his palm on the rock.
Cuckoo coo!
Suddenly, the rock began to move left and right, creating a space large enough for one person to enter.
“Ohh. You’ve put a lot of effort into dealing with humans. The way the door opens only when the permitted target supplies the correct amount of magic. This way, security is sure.”
Alice let out a small exclamation.
But the surprise didn’t end there.
The moment you enter the treasure house.
Tremendous treasures beyond imagination greeted everyone.
‘As expected of a gigantic power, it’s ignorant of what they’ve done.’
Jinhyuk’s eyes were glistening with greed.
From various magical weapons to rare artifacts that were priced exorbitantly on the coin exchange.
Anyone with this in front of them would have no choice but to salivate.
It was painful to have to choose only one here, but if you choose the best one, you will be able to find some comfort in your heart.
“Ohhh! Can’t I pick just one? I really want this shiny jewel.”
Elise grabbed a blue diamond the size of a fist with a flushed face.
It is not at the level of asking you to buy an accessory you like while walking on the streets of Hongdae.
At a glance, they were trying to rip out a jewel that could buy all the buildings in Hongdae.
In addition, he covets all the expensive wines…
Pennheimer can’t help but feel sick.
“Gee, Jinhyeok-sama was the only one who signed the contract, so that’s a bit…”
Pennheimer broke out in a cold sweat as if he was troubled, but Ellis couldn’t hear such words.
“thank you.”
Island island island.
One by one, the wines were sucked into the subspace inventory.
“No. I didn’t say a word about giving it to you.”
“Yes. I’ll do my best to help.”
“Now, wait a minute.”
Pennheimer hastily reached out.
However, the jewel had already disappeared into Alice’s subspace inventory.
While an atrocity close to extortion is taking place.
Jinhyeok was exploring with a hawk’s eye among countless treasures.
‘It’s the best…’
Sword Spear Bow Shield Armor Accessory.
None of them look bad.
Among them, the pair of sharp daggers and the ink-colored spear were so perfect that you could reach out your hand without even realizing it.
‘Are these weapons made by the dwarves?’
Jinhyeok activated ‘Eye of Gluttony’ and checked two items.
[Dagger made by artisan ‘Makmum’]
Attack power: 2100
Durability: 1000/1000
-Detailed description: A dagger made by smelting Orichalcum, known as the metal of the gods, and can inflict 100% additional damage to dark attribute monsters. However, since it was designed for decoration for high-ranking officials rather than combat use, the basic attack power is somewhat lower.
[Spear made by artisan ‘Montrey Horn’]
Attack Power: 5500
Durability: 3300/3300
-Details: A spear made by smelting iron from the black iron mine located on the 25th floor of the tower. It has excellent attack power and durability, as befits craftsmanship, but due to the nature of black iron, it has the disadvantage of contaminating the user’s mind when used for a long time.
I saw some flaws, but this was enough to endure them.
Other items also had more disadvantages than advantages.
‘I can’t stay here all day, so I’ll have to choose one of the two.’
But just when I was about to make a choice.
In Jinhyeok’s gaze, translucent glass bottles gathered.
The dark red liquid contained in the glass bottle gave off a strange energy.
This can’t be…
It’s for sure.
“Penheimer-sama. I’ve decided too.”
Jinhyeok put down his weapon and took out a glass bottle from the display case.
“Hmm. Are you really going to pick that one?”
“It’s the best thing I’ve seen here.”
“The choice is up to Jinhyeok-nim, but I’d like to stop it if possible. I’m not sure, but that’s…” “I know
. It’s the blood of a red dragon.”
“…!”
Jinhyeok’s answer made Pennheimer flinch.
“Are you saying that you choose even if you know?”
Normally, dragon’s blood is used as a top-notch magic ingredient.
Since it was flowing in the dragon’s body, which can be said to be the crystallization of magical power, it was bound to have tremendous efficacy.
The problem is that dealing with that blood requires an extreme degree of difficulty.
Even the chief magician of the empire failed to use this blood to strengthen his weapons, so it means that virtually no one in the empire can handle this blood.
however.
In fact, there is only one person in the Empire who can handle this.
A rare craftsman who can transcend magic and manipulate all things.
“Yes. Let’s do this.”
Jinhyuk nodded without hesitation.
“Heh heh. If someone else was stubborn, they would have said it was foolish… But since Jin-hyeok-nim said so, I’m looking forward to it. .”
Pennheimer, who had to look at the situation of the nobles, bid farewell here.
＊＊＊
After lunchtime, the streets of the capital were filled with crowds of people.
Thanks to that, there was a gap in the iron-clad expenses. Jinhyeok and Alice were also able to roam the streets in the gap.
“It’s a long-awaited trip, but I can’t even see it to my heart’s content because I’ve been hiding like this.”
Alice complained with her cheeks inflated.
As the time to manifest outside the ring is relatively small, Elise wanted to see and enjoy as much as possible when she came out.
of course.
Hearing those words, Jinhyeok could only sigh.
“You… do you even use the word travel in this situation?”
In Murim, the aristocratic faction inside the empire… Even the Heavenly Demonic Church and the Mine Association are involved.
Isn’t it obvious that players and giant guilds who have chosen their forces will also participate in this war?
According to Gawain, even Cheon Yu-seong might have been attached to Murim, and
Namgung-cheon, who led the Chinese guild and then turned to Moorim, had to take care of it, so the whole thing was very troublesome.
however.
“Hmm. Can’t we just wipe it all away?”
Alice still tilted her head with an innocent expression.
Anyway, Jinjo guys don’t like this.
It’s because I don’t even think about it and push it ignorantly.
“If you manifest and play a game, the rest of the ancestors will start moving and even the manager of the tower will intervene. It will be very convenient, right?”
“If you, me, and that guy who gnaws mosquitoes, I think it’s worth trying to attack everyone?”
“It’s okay. I shouldn’t talk.”
Jinhyuk clicked his tongue and shook his head.
timely.
destinations began to appear.
[Orun’s smithy]
[The best smithy in the empire, where you can feel the craftsmanship of 50 years!]
[Payment is also paid for with alcohol.]
[Love for kindness and service. Customer Satisfaction 1.6%]
[#1 unfriendly shop designated by the Empire]
There were dozens of blacksmiths nearby, but this one was in a rather serious condition.
The signboard was also on the verge of falling… Among the sentences written on the signboard in the first place, there were very suspicious things mixed in.
“Is this a good place?”
“It looks like it, but it’s true that the owner here is quite talented.”
“Ummm. It’s hard to believe…”
Elise muttered doubtfully as she went inside.
“It’s a growl… a groan! a croak! a croak!”
A loud snoring sound greeted us instead of greetings.
A dwarf with a flushed face is seen in the middle of the forge, falling into a sweet sleep.
The small but sturdy old man was the dwarf ‘Orun’.
“hello.”
“Growl!”
“hey?”
“Drung!”
“Hmm. I brought some good wine. I can’t help it because I’m sleeping. Should I go to the blacksmith’s right next door…
” Did you say it was alcohol?”
Orun’s eyes widened.
How much alcoholism can you react to even a small talk like
this
? okay. What brought you here?”
“I’d like to entrust you with a request.”
“A request? that’s good How long has this been? No, no, a guest. Whatever you entrust me with, I’ll do my best.”
“It’s not that I don’t believe Orun-nim, but may I try a test? Of course, I’ll calculate this separately.”
Jinhyeok took out an accessory decorated with various jewels on his palm.
It was the bracelet Alice was wearing.
“Hey! is that mine? Before I knew it…!”
“Shh!”
“Uhhhhhhhh!”
Jinhyeok, who quickly covered Alice’s mouth, looked at Orun again.
“Are you okay?”
“It’s a test… heh heh. It seems that my trust has lost a lot.”
Behind the deep voice, there was a deep sense of anger at the craftsman’s ability being doubted and a sense of self-reliance that put him in such a situation.
“I don’t need a price. I was called ‘the anvil that never fades’ in the dwarf kingdom. I’ll show you what kind of person Orun is… from now on.”
Orun took out a massive hammer.
Woo woo woo!
The hammer adorned with ancient runes was imbued with indescribable magic power.
And at that very moment
. Tea!”
A hammer fell from the sky.
Quaaaaang!
[ Enhancement failed!]
[Queen Pendragon’s bracelet destroyed!]
“….
”
.”
A short silence followed.
It was a really short silence.
“Heh heh. Have you been drinking too much lately? My hand slipped.”
“Kyaaaaaagh!”
Elise screamed as if the world had been lost
.
