Episode 425. Undersea city ‘Atlantis’ (1)
Millennium Conch.
If I had to choose the most realistic way to go to Atlantis, I would definitely use this.
Originally, there were a few things I needed to prepare, but once I got the spear of Atlantis, everything seemed to have been resolved.
“So, if you ask a question here, you’ll tell me how to do it?”
Chun Yuseong asked with suspicious eyes.
“Then, the mysterious millennial snail will answer anything.”
“It’s ridiculous. It’s not even a kid’s joke.”
“Uh huh. If you don’t believe me, just ask.”
Chun Yoo-seong reluctantly opened his mouth at Jin-hyeok’s continued urging.
“Tell me the way to Atlantis.”
OK.
The thousand-year-old conch trembled.
“Only the noble and strong can go there. You can’t.”
The protruding words were close to a dry mechanical sound.
It was the kind of thing that just scratches people’s stomachs.
“What, what?”
Chun Yoo-seong’s expression crumpled.
Of course, it was absurd to say that a snail or something scattered on the shore was not virtuous right in the face.
“Puhaha! Eup… I-I didn’t laugh. Look. It’s a serious expression.”
Only Jinhyeok, who was next to him, burst into laughter and tried to manage his expression.
Awesome!
Cheon Yoo-seong, biting his molars, opened his mouth again.
“Tell me the way to Atlantis right now.”
“No. You’re not qualified.”
“…”
Serung!
Liuhua gave a warning.
But just as he was about to swing his sword.
[You will be penalized if you destroy the ‘Millennial Conch’.]
A red message popped up in the way.
If you ignore the red status message that you have experienced in the Tower of Trials so far, you must pay the price accordingly.
“Keugh!”
Chun Yuseong managed to insert the half-drawn sword.
“If it’s the words of a noble and strong Jim, I think I’ll listen.”
Alice stepped forward confidently.
“Tell me. Where do the lowly fish live?”
The head of Ataraxia.
One of the tower’s absolutes, possessing both honor and strength, gave the order.
however.
“I don’t know.”
The answer that came back was the same.
still in a dull tone.
“Are you saying…you don’t even have enough luggage right now?”
“It’s a place where little kids can’t enter.”
“Little kid?”
“Yeah. A 7-year-old kid. He looks like he’s got a tantrum, so he must have hit a bone. But, it’s true.”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! I don’t want to ignore me, so it’s not enough to do this.
Ellis, who had risen to the point of anger, ran wild.
As expected….
That’s why it’s cumbersome to deal with millennial snails.
It’s not that I’m ignoring it at all, but it wasn’t that I didn’t give a proper answer either.
Above all, I couldn’t threaten to destroy it as long as there was a penalty.
Unless you have something beyond the penalty.
I looked at the spear of Atlantis that Jinhyeok had planted on the sandy beach.
‘If it wasn’t for this, I would have had a hard time collecting the ingredients.’
Although Wolyeong was digging through the interior of the island, it was unclear how long it would take to find all the ingredients she wanted.
“Millennial Conch. We’re not going to the mermaids to enslave them or harm them. Rather, we want to help them.”
Jinhyeok came out last.
“So answer me.”
To stop the Kraken.
For everyone on the floor to survive.
This meeting must happen.
“You…”
A mechanical sound came from the Millennium Conch.
“I can’t because I’m ugly.”
“…”
This bastard…
Jinhyeok managed to keep his composure.
The mouth is smiling, but the eyes are not.
“Ji, Jim thinks… Contractors seem to belong to the very good-looking side…” “I think the
standard of beauty is a bit wrong. I agree with Millennial Conch.”
“You’re… manly. Yes.”
“Hahaha. Oppa isn’t the handsome guy style.”
Various reactions followed.
Most of it was just hurtful words.
okay. It seemed like it would be like this.
“Kumaya.”
“mosquito!”
“Eat it.”
“Mogigi!”
Like a beast hunting its prey. The sweet potato jumped toward the thousand-year-old conch.
“If you eat me…”
Oh dog. Misleading!
The sweet potato mercilessly broke the shell and bit off the jewel inside.
Then right at that moment.
Tring! Tring! Tring!
[‘Millennial Conch’ has been destroyed!]
Red status windows covered the sky.
The Millennium Conch is one of the spiritual beasts that a tribe considers sacred.
Doing so was an act of turning the entire race into an enemy.

“What are you doing? You said you needed the help of mermaids…!”
Chun Yoo-seong exclaimed in surprise.
“I was going to do that too, but he scratches me hard, doesn’t he?”
Even if I was obediently telling them the location, this would not have happened.
Thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, I didn’t have time to ask questions.
“And to be honest, weren’t you cool inside too?”
Calm down your twitching lips and say something.
Because it looks like the thousand-year-old congestion has gone down.
“Big. That’s what they say. Rather than that, what’s going on now?”
how it goes
[The 29th floor ‘mermaid race”s wrath is directed at the Dead Man Corporation!]
This is how it works.
bubbling.
Bubbles rose all at once from the sea.
Dozens, not one or two.
Judging from the aura of magic, he must be quite angry.
Immediately, dozens of mermaids appeared.
“Humans… they can’t cross the line anymore and they’re begging me to kill them!”
The beautiful mermaid burst into anger.
The strong energy of the water attribute type was condensed in the arrows he was aiming at.
At any moment, it seemed as if countless arrows would head towards the shore.
“If you’re going to fight, tell me. I’ll wipe it all out.”
Elise summoned a skewer.
Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa were also ready to move at any time.
but.
“No. Killing mermaids is out of the question.”
I don’t know about the Millennial Conch, but if you harm a mermaid, a war will break out between the Ancient Man Corporation and the mermaid race.
Of course, in order to stop it, you have to give them a ‘reason’ to calm the mermaids’ anger.
For example…
showing the queen’s spear that has been lost for a long time.
hooked!
Jinhyeok pulled out the spear of Atlantis that was stuck in the sand.
“…!? Wait a minute. Stop shooting!”
The mermaid, who was about to give the order to attack, stopped on the spot.
there’s no way you wouldn’t know
How could I not know?
The holy relic that made that glory possible in the distant past when mermaids ruled the 29th floor.
Elise wants to regain the honor of the head of Ataraxia. Just like Cheon Yoo-seong wishing for a fucking 1st win.
If you were to pick what you want most from mermaids, this spear would be at the top.
Although it was a degraded version that was only for one use, it should be fine as long as you act well.
“Are you still going to attack?”
“Uh, how… you guys did that…”
“Isn’t the acquisition process important right now? Besides, if you see this, wouldn’t it be the order to lower the bow first?”
“… let go of the protests.”
“Leader?”
“It’s an order!”
“Ah, I see.”
At the words of the female mermaid, the rest of the mermaids softened their hostility.
good. Now I can have a conversation like a conversation in a comfortable atmosphere.
“It’s true that the first image started out badly, but if you misunderstand, let’s gradually solve it.”
“Are you going to dismiss the fact that you broke the millennium as a misunderstanding?”
“This was the only way to get in touch with you guys as quickly as possible. Also, if we were to attack, you guys should go first. There was a mermaid who fired an arrow at us during the voyage.”
“That’s because you guys could be the ones who took us as slaves…”
“So. That’s a misunderstanding.”
I don’t have any intention of going over every little thing in the past.
Because what matters is the future, not the past.
“What do you want?”
“I want to have an audience with the Queen.”
“That’s too much talk.”
“If you want to get a spear, you’ll have to do something unreasonable.”
“…Okay. Instead, the only one who can go is you.”
“Contractor! That condition must be said no.”
When I was told that I had to go alone, Ellis immediately protested.
“It’s okay. I was planning to go alone from the beginning anyway. You guys go to the guild… No, go help Teresa-san.”
By now, the fleets of the allied guilds must be fighting fiercely against Gigant Dalos.
The Gandhara guild, which was one of the strongest powers, is not able to properly help because it is fighting Casey Jude Law.
Much more, now that Nirasha had died, the organizational power would have completely disintegrated.
“Are you sure you’ll be okay?”
“Don’t worry. I’ll be back before the Kraken comes out.”
Jinhyuk smiled brightly.
* * *
Boggle!
Bubbles of bubbles enveloped a huge chariot pulled by a pair of seahorses.
“Humans will have a hard time breathing in the water, so you can get on here. They are very difficult to handle, so stay calm behind them…
”
Jinhyeok stood on the chariot and pulled the reins.
so used to it
The seahorses moved left and right in line with Jinhyeok’s touch.
It was the first time even mermaids to see them showing off their whole body and acting cute.
“…”
The mermaids opened their mouths in a daze.
‘Communicating’ with ‘Mentra Taming’ Above all, I didn’t know that I had mastered all the vehicles in the Tower of Trials, so of course I was dumbfounded.
That’s how Jinhyeok and the mermaids started moving.
rapidly changing vision.
Moving at high speed, seahorses headed deeper and deeper into the ocean.
After about 30 minutes, a mermaid, who is the leader, started talking to me.
“It doesn’t seem like an ordinary human being, but it seems surprisingly flimsy.”
“Hmm. Are you saying I’m lax?”
“Yes. If this is all a trap, what are you going to do if you’re not going to Atlantis, but somewhere in the depths? We could kill you here and just retrieve the spear.”
Well, that’s one way.
“If it’s possible between you.”
Jinhyeok released some of his magic.
Parts…
‘Grave of Swords’ and ‘Blood Magic’.
An unspeakable life sprang up.
It is a dark and ominous magic that has never been encountered before.
In an instant, the atmosphere froze.
The mermaids, who tried to gain the upper hand by floating, couldn’t even breathe properly.
It seems like it scared me too much.
Jinhyeok changed the atmosphere and the topic.
“I don’t want to fight, so you don’t have to be afraid. By the way, I kept not knowing the name.
” “It’s called Lepitia and Drakaonmia the Artanmir.”
Something unnecessarily long and wordy came out.
“Are all mermaid names that long?”
“An expression of nobility. Because you need a proper modifier to do it.”
“Then, the queen’s name…?”
“Yes. Matamettio Le Palladium Driaca Masiastyrs VII.”
Wow…
This is getting more and more spectacle.
How on earth do you remember all of that?
I’m sure you’re a genius on the level of natural genius. No matter how many times you listen to it, you’ll forget it. “It’s hard to remember because it’s too long, so can we change it a bit in our own way?”
”
Humans find it difficult to call us. If you do, what name do you plan to call it?”
Even if you hear it just once, it gets stuck in your mind… A name that can bring out the characteristics of a mermaid.
Something flashed through Jin-hyeok’s mind like lightning.
