Episode 322. A new slave is always welcome.
“Dragon Heart. I want you to hand it over.”
“Dragon… heart? What is that?”
The blue dragon tilted its head.
ah. right.
This guy was an oriental dragon.
I forgot about it because I only had contact with Westerners.
The fact that Moorim has to replace it with an appropriate word.
“Hmm. The place where energy is concentrated in the body of dragons. In simple terms, it can be called the heart.”
“Are you asking me to give you my heart?”
“That’s what it means.”
The air froze coldly at Jinhyuk’s words.
Giving up your heart means asking for your life.
“You’d better choose carefully what you say. Human. It’s true that I was helped by you, but that doesn’t mean I’ll give up my life.”
“Oops, I heard that Yong and Eun-Won are certain to end the relationship, am I mistaken?”
“Don’t use forced Seon dialogue. My patience isn’t deep enough to accept puns.”
The blue dragon’s claws twitched.
It seems that the heat is gradually spreading.
“Otherwise, it’s fine. If I do this, I’m going to lose a lot, but I’m going to do it lightly with just one tattoo.”
Roaring!
Jinhyuk’s fingertips sparked.
The ability to force submission.
It is the ‘stigma of lust’.
“Are you going to put a ban on my soul?”
One quick glance.
Maybe it’s because it’s a Divine Beast, so you can figure out what type it is just by looking at its mana.
“It’s better than giving your heart, right?”
“I refuse. I have no intention of becoming an limb like a human. There is no reason to do so.”
Refuse…
I was going to go well.
I can’t do it when it comes out like this.
Whoa!
Jinhyeok took out something black from the subspace.
“Ohh. Are you saying you’re going to pull out your weapon and fight me? That’s fun… Huh?”
The blue dragon’s words did not come to an end.
“mosquito!”
Because the world’s most feared voice rang out.
The sweet potato flapped its wings in Jinhyeok’s arms.
“Yes. Our Kuma. Did you sleep well?”
“Mosquito! Mosquito Mosquito!”
“Huh? Have I been well? No. I haven’t been well. Someone really ruined my earnest request. They even saved my life, but they’re trying to kill me? Can you believe it?”
“Mooooogi…”
Sweet Potato roared low.
The lovely amber eyes rolled around to find the one who had wounded the master’s heart.
Then all of a sudden
The gaze turned to the blue dragon.
The two dragons faced each other head on.
“omg!?”
A gasping sound came from the blue dragon’s mouth.
Involuntarily, his body flinched and he tried to fly into the air.
Because he knew that he might really die if he attacked the ancient species, his instincts moved first rather than reason.
“You’ll really regret it if you run away from here. I hate wasting time and effort on useless things.”
“Even, I didn’t mean to run away.”
“then?”
“That flame. Come to think of it, it doesn’t seem that bad. It looks like it will leave a pretty nice scar. I’d rather have it on my scaly shoulder blade.”
The blue dragon’s attitude changed 180 degrees.
“Sorry, but the train has already left.”
If I had accepted the stigma of being obedient at first, I would only end up with the stigma of being married.
sincerely.
but.
He made me take out sweet potatoes, so he should be punished accordingly.
“Su, didn’t you say you would obey your words? By the way. Are you saying that’s not enough?”
“The stigma is something you should do as a matter of course in the sense that you genuinely repay the favor. Being punished is something you have to do additionally.”
“What… do you want?”
“Yeouiju.”
I saw him taking ‘Yeouiju of White Flame’ from Samaja.
The pride of the Balaur and whatnot and taking care of it.
“That’s no way. I can’t hand over the sacred item that contains the pride of the clan…!”
“Should I tell you that life is more important than pride? Kumaya. The new employee doesn’t seem to have grasped the atmosphere of the company yet. Fold your waist lightly in half.”
“mosquito!”
Sweet Potato broke his knuckles.
“…Come to think of it, it seems my hands aren’t enough to carry 4 Yeouijoos. Keuheum! Take it… Whoa…. Take it. Take all of it.”
The blue dragon shed bloody tears and handed over the white yeouiju.
[Yeouiju of White Flame]
Difficulty to obtain: SS
Description: A Yeouiju that can handle rain and clouds and belongs to the highest class among Yeouiju. It has the power to create small dragons. In addition, since the pearl of white flame itself is a crystal of powerful magical power, it is a multi-type item that can be used in various places.
A sacred item of dragons imbued with powerful magical power.
The ability to handle the weather and the ability to create small dragons were not bad, but there was a separate time to use this yeouiju.
‘It’s best to use it as a material to strengthen a new weapon later…’
In addition to the greatsword Balmung, you should also have a dagger specialized in close combat.
And Yeouiju of Baekyeom will do her best to make another purple grade relic.
good.
Then next…
“Don’t be rude. It’s not as painful as it looks.”
Jinhyeok stamped the ‘brand of spirit’ on the blue dragon’s scales.
Chii profit!
The blue dragon, who had given up on everything, accepted his fate.
but.
The blue dragon’s pain is not over yet.
It’s only just begun.
“Umm. Then, what should our blue dragon name be?”
“Eh, what’s your name?”
“Yes. Each of the new recruits who joined the Goinmul Corporation has a cool name that’s easy to call. Ah! Don’t worry too much. Even if I’m like this, I’m pretty good at naming.”
I’m thinking of giving it a great name like sweet potato or T-Bone.
After thinking about it for a while, Jinhyuk smiled brightly as if he remembered something.
“A soft hooded crane.”
A person who always makes the wrong choice and tries to catch the last train late after the trend has passed.
That is the soft and fluffy hooded crane.
“A hooded crane! What kind of nonsense are you talking about! This body is blue!”
That’s it too.
Does not matter.
“Ask Orun to make me a black armor and put it on.”
Because it specializes in long-range attacks, its scales are relatively soft compared to Western dragons.
There will be a lot of close combat in the future, so you should have at least one piece of armor that’s as strong as rice soup.
“Then, please take good care of me from now on. Soft Hooded Crane.”
“…”
Blue dragon or soft hooded crane bit the foam on the spot.
A life of maintaining the balance of the world while loftily protecting Moorim and nature.
That proud life ended today.
‘Mother….’
Blue Dragon murmured one last time before passing out.
＊＊＊
The library has many books.
Jinhyeok, who visited Rick’s private office, sipped freshly brewed coffee.
A sweet scent lingered in his nostrils.
“It’s really nice to see you after a long time. Even if it’s not, for the past few days, there’s been a lot of talk about Jinhyeok-nim.”
Rick let out a big laugh.
They seemed to be very excited about the growth and performance of the players they were expecting.
“I’ve been a little busy.”
“So what are you going to say after coming all the way here?”
“It seems that Murim and the Empire developed a strange bond while fighting against the Heavenly Demons. Murim must have been even more grateful to have received the Empire’s help in a desperate situation.”
The two forces, who had been fighting each other with their fangs exposed, made peace.
Promising to create new prosperity in their respective domains.
“I’ve heard the story too. They say they’re co-hosting a major event.”
“Yes. That’s why…”
Jinhyeok got to the point.
“I would like to ask for permission to broadcast the event as an administrator, in a way that people outside the tower directly participate and place bets on the winner. We will be able to share a portion of the fee, so we can benefit from each other. It would be beneficial if this happened. There will be no loss.”
A world trembling with anxiety due to Shub Niguras.
It is this method that reassures people and at the same time elicits a response through participation.
Originally, entertainment that could relieve everyone’s tension was important in times of war or crisis.
‘I can’t waste even one minute and one second. I have to secure everything I can get as much as possible.’
Thanks to Samaja’s move first, the work at Moorim was completed quickly.
It was two days longer than expected until Shubniguras fully manifested.
It will take at least one more day anyway to finish preparing through Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min.
Jinhyeok was thinking of taking advantage of this opportunity.
“Hmm. That’s not a bad idea. By the way, does Jinhyeok-nim know what kind of tournament this is?”
“Yeah? If it’s a tournament, isn’t it like a one-on-one fight?”
Jinhyeok opened his rabbit eyes.
“As expected, you didn’t know. That’s why you can be calm like this.”
“What do you mean by that…”
Jinhyeok blurted out his words as if he had no idea.
I’ve heard through Pennheimer that it’s a competition with only one winner.
I hadn’t heard of exactly what kind it was.
Giving a reason why it’s top secret or not.
however.
‘What is this feeling…’
Creepy.
A chill ran down Jinhyeok’s spine.
I’m sure the dark smile on Rick’s lips reminded me of the one I saw from Pennheimer last night.
Maybe… I’ll lean.
“You are blessed, Jinhyeok-nim… No, maybe you are not blessed.”
Rick left a meaningful statement.
“Anyway, does that mean you accept my offer?”
“Okay. It’s an opportunity for me to have fun as well as earn coins, so there’s no reason to reject it. Jinhyeok-sama is a person who has a huge influence on the Tower, so I can give you that much at my discretion.”
Rick nodded, still smiling mischievously.
＊＊＊
The evening when a banquet is held.
Jinhyeok, who had a leisurely time, finished what he hadn’t been able to do before.
[Current level: 126]
The level has risen by one.
I thought it would be hard to get the experience to level up because I couldn’t get the final blow to Samaja…
Such a pleasant variable is always welcome.
[Magic power increases from 369 → 372.]
The place where you invested is horsepower.
‘This is also quite sweet.’
Jinhyuk smiled with satisfaction.
but.
Tring!
Due to the status window that appeared in front of my eyes, everything began to flow strangely.
[Due to the authority of the two factions, the ‘picking a spouse’ confrontation begins.]
…Huh?
what now?
Jinhyeok slowly chewed on the letters that appeared on the status window.
[Difficulty: Unmeasurable]
Description: An ‘eternal rose’ appears in the chest of player Kang Jin-hyeok. Whoever gets that rose is the winner of this event.
Reward 1: ‘Enchanted Ring (1 Pair)’ will be given to the winner. The Ring of Enchantment has the effect of increasing the favorability of the target and is fully supported by both the Empire and the Murim faction.
Reward 2: You will receive a couple item that allows you to enter various attractions in the tower. (Cloud Garden admission ticket, sea lake hotel accommodation voucher, and dining voucher for the finest restaurant run by manager ‘Maetel’) The status window seems to be red for some reason
.
‘I must have misunderstood. Or I’m dreaming…’
No.
Obviously not.
Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva.
[Broadcasting system is activated.]
[Viewers enter.]
[Those currently inside the Tower of Trials who wish to participate, please start registration.]
The event has started.
at the same time.
Tring!
Tring!
Tring!
Applications poured in like crazy.
