Chapter 545. Rare of ancient dragons (2)
Outwardly poor appearance.
No one will understand why an old, broken jewel box is still here.
That’s probably why Pendragon also put it next to the gold pile instead of keeping it in a separate display case.
still.
‘I felt a sense of dissimilarity of magic and put it in the treasure house. Anyway, the feeling is pretty good.’
The empty jewelry box was worth more than it seemed.
Jinhyuk’s mouth twitched violently.
It was hard to contain the laughter that erupted from within.
A clue about the ‘Necronomicon’.
This jewelry box was one of them.
It also allows you to know the most important ‘location’.
‘Let’s see…’
Jinhyeok carefully placed his hand on the box.
I could feel the rough texture of the wood.
[You have selected ‘Unknown Box’.] A
very delicate process is required to see the true appearance of this box.
Not even a single mistake in distributing magic power properly and in unsealing the box is unacceptable.
‘Press this part… After turning this part…’
Clap! click!
The jewel box’s fury continued to spin.
The shape of the box began to change according to the natural flow of water.
[The ‘Unknown Box’ is opened.]
[The map to ‘Primeval Forest’ comes to mind.]
A picture of a snake biting its tail.
The maze of Ouroboros tangled along the surface of the box came to mind.
‘I didn’t expect to get this here… This will make securing the Necronomicon much easier.’
It’s a really unexpected surprise.
This alone outweighed all other gains.
Now you can choose your items with ease.
Jinhyeok leisurely strolled inside the treasure house and looked through the items filled with memories.
how long has it been like that?
The long shopping trip is finally over.
‘Iron powder soaked in the blood of an ancient dragon’.
‘Lightning Drinking Spear’.
‘Archrich’s Magical Book’.
‘The Last Drop of Atlantis’.
A total of four were selected.
In the future, various items that will help you climb the tower and deal with the gods are also selected and stored separately.
“I think this is enough, but how did you pick them all?”
Jinhyeok looked at Alice next to him.
“Mmmmmmmmmm.”
Ellis was still grunting and collecting treasures.
Anyway, greed is like a mountain.
You can come again next time anyway, but it seems like you want to take everything with you when you come again.
If I leave it alone, I’ll spend three days and nights shopping, so maybe it’s better to draw a line here.
The linked quest to find the ‘Trace of Igni’ on the 33rd floor is not over yet.
Mediating the truce between Olympus and Ragnarok could not be postponed any longer.
Although he refrained from using Thor or Loki as much as possible, his patience was running out as time passed.
“Ellis?”
“Wait a minute. One hour… no more than 30 minutes.”
“no.”
“Then even for ten minutes!”
Elise clung to her, almost crying.
“It’s ten minutes. I’ll be waiting outside, so hurry up and follow me.”
“huh!”
With Alice smiling brightly behind, Jinhyeok came out of the treasure house.
“Are you done now?”
Helberg, who had been waiting outside, bowed his head politely.
“I have work, so I’ll finish here for today. Please take good care of this place while I am away. Sooner or later, I will send my friends from my original base here as well, so please find a way to get into this rare. It’s money, you can take out as much as you like from the warehouse and use it.”
Strengthen the base on the 46th floor.
This, too, was a task that could not be postponed.
“All right. Let’s do it right away.”
“Then stop… ah! right.”
Jinhyuk paused for a moment before moving his steps.
I forgot because things were going so crazy, but I had to know why Helberg, who was so aggressive at first, suddenly changed his attitude.
‘Because there’s no way he knew that I killed Pendragon. If that was the case, he would have surrendered right away.’
The ancient dragon guardians I’ve dealt with in the past have extremely closed personalities.
Because of this, he was insensitive to outside news.
However, the sudden change in Helberg’s attitude means that something changed in the meantime.
“Is someone else at this rare?”
There is only one conceivable number of cases.
Helberg kept his mouth shut at Jinhyeok’s question.
“…”
Rick had asked him not to tell anyone that he had come here.
But the orders given by the new owner and the favor of the senior manager.
If you put two on the scale, it was already decided which one to choose.
“The person who gave me the information was Rick Hennessy. I am the senior manager of the tower.”
“Rick… Hennessy.”
Jinhyeok chewed on the name heavily.
A senior manager came here at this timing?
It’s an absurd probability to say it’s just a coincidence.
“What did Rick say he was here for?”
“Like the owner, he said he wanted to see some of the treasures in Rare. He said there was one thing he wanted, and offered to buy or exchange it. what did you say They said it was not a special holy relic or artifact, but something of little value…” “
…!”
There is only one thing in this rare that Rick, the owner of the grand corps, might be interested in.
It’s just a ‘jewel box’.
And the fact that he’s aiming for the same thing as this…
‘Rick… was it related to the primeval beings as well?’
Jinhyeok put everything together like a puzzle.
***
Refloor on the 33rd floor.
The members of the Goinmul Corporation, including Jinhyeok and Ellis, gathered in one place.
“late. I was supposed to meet you an hour ago…!”
Chun Yoo-seong, who was waiting at the cafe, frowned.
Iced Café Latte has already been out of stock for a long time. I ate everything, even the crystal cake that was ordered for dessert.
“Oh my goodness. Mr Jin Hyuk! Mr. Alice! Here it is!”
Theresa, on the other hand, waved happily.
“Sorry, he’s so into shopping like a kid who saw a toy… I’m late for forcing him to come.”
“When did Ji Jim act like a child!”
Elise screamed loudly.
Still, it’s good to know that it’s embarrassing.
“by the way. What chain quest did you choose? Seeing that he has room, he seems to be working on something quite usable… Even so, it wouldn’t be better than the one I chose.”
“It’s nothing special, it’s a crimson-linked quest. I am looking for traces of Igni.”
“Crimson flames… you mean that hidden quest?”
Chun Yuseong’s pupils dilated rapidly.
One of the few top-level hidden quests on the 33rd floor.
I thought someone had unlocked it, but that damn old man found it.
[SS Class – Sky Slash]
A special quest that only those who have transcended the realm of the sword can succeed.
The goal is to cut through the crystal-encased skies of Reflor through a combination of sorcery and swordsmanship.
Even if it wasn’t until the hidden connection, after breaking through several high-difficulty quests, I managed to reach the end of the quest.
It all went to waste.
It was because no matter how much a normal SS-class quest did, it couldn’t be compared to Hidden.
Pudeudeuk.
this time too.
…was behind again.
No matter what kind of game they played, the result was the same every time.
No matter how hard you try, it is impossible to win just one victory.
‘Even if I try desperately… I guess it’s useless.’
The feeling of hopelessness was unbearable.
Right then.
Jinhyeok quietly spoke.
“Ha… But the difficulty level of this became so high that I didn’t know what to do afterwards. It is said to control the flow of fire and find the traces of Igni left on the cliff, but does that make sense in the first place? The ones left on the cliff look like sword scars, but haha… My head hurts. No matter how many times I watch it, I can’t get a feel for it.”
“Are you saying you couldn’t find a way too?”
“huh. It’s not enough for me.”
Jinhyuk shook his head and let out a deep sigh.
On the other hand, Chun Yoo-seong’s face changed 180 degrees from before.
Also controlling the flow of fire.
It was also possible to grasp the inscribed sword marks through it.
It was possible if you were yourself.
In the first place, unlike Jinhyeok, who is an all-rounder, he had been walking a path that specialized in swords.
‘If I uncover this, it will prove that I’m better than that guy.’
The worry didn’t last long.
“under…! To challenge the hidden quest while not being able to do that. Guide them to the cliff where the sword marks are. I will look into it and fix it myself.”
“It’s really difficult, and it’s on the 33rd floor, which is pretty rough. It is not easy to even go there.”
“Do I look like a decent guy in your eyes?”
“It’s not like that… but are you sure you’re okay?”
“No problem.”
Chun Yuseong raised his head confidently.
good.
With this, I got a reliable slave No. 1.
It’s a new word, but I wonder if there’s another idiot that can be manipulated so easily.
Because if I touched my self-esteem, it would move on its own.
“Wow, I think we’ll all get together.”
Teresa also expressed her intention to join.
“How are you two? are you okay?”
“Hey, if Yooseong hyung and Teresa noona come, it’s a great welcome.”
“I agree too. If you have to complete the linked quest anyway, the more support, the better.”
Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa also expressed their support.
“The luggage is fine too.”
Even Ellis agreed, and the linkage quest of the Dead Man Corporation began.
***
A cliff located outside the 33rd floor.
Just looking at the sculptures of Mother Nature, which were several kilometers tall, made people exclaim.
Particularly, the mist spreading softly at the top and the beautiful birds flying between them created a spectacle that could only be seen in myths.
But the most notable thing is, of course, the sword scars along the cliff.
And around it were softly burning flames.
[You have found the hidden link quest ‘Traces of Igni’.]
[Through these traces, find out what happened in the past.]
[If you get accurate clues, you can get a glimpse of the memories of the past.
] The traces of the sword and the irregular flames made it impossible to guess their whereabouts.
Considering that huge craters remain in the middle, it can only be assumed that there was a fierce battle.
“How do you know?”
“It sure is difficult. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen such a domineering herbivore.”
“Ah, it seems you don’t even know. Even if it was the swordsman of the world, it only worked at the level of the players.”
Jinhyeok clicked his tongue with an expression of ‘Sure it is’.
“Damn it. Be quiet here and watch. I will prove that I am better than you.”
Chun Yoo-seong stood at the forefront.
Sreung!
He pulled out his sword and slowly started moving along the path along the cliff.
[Cheon Yoo-seong activates his unique ability ‘Sword Song’!]
The flames gathered and scattered along the blade.
…soft.
It must be the first time that Chun Yoo-seong sees it.
The ability to read past sword attacks and reproduce Igni’s battles was as if they had actually experienced it.
‘Because he’s a real genius too.’
The problem is that he tries to attack at all times. If it wasn’t for that, he would be a reliable companion.
Right then.
[The level of understanding of the battlefield has increased slightly!]
[Partially met the conditions.]
[The traces of the sword and the remaining flames look back on the past.]
[The mythical war is reproduced!]
Everyone’s eyesight turned black.
And when I open my eyes again
The existing landscape was completely different.
