Chapter 190
Information visible through Diary authority.
There is a lot of information that has been revealed that the class is higher than other NPCs.
Which of them stands out the most?
‘The one who brought destruction.’
Being an NPC meant that the world he was in was also destroyed.
It’s understandable up to that point, but it brought about destruction.
On the surface, it’s normal.
not just ordinary.
[Denium- NPC]
-Possesses the title Man Who Calls Disaster
-Title Possession of a man drunk with power
.
Heida, as well as Chihirin and Mobilidic, who were subject to system restrictions, have not been seen until now.
The same goes for the devils in the labor camp that were said to be around the 80th floor.
What that means…
‘I couldn’t climb the tower high enough.’
No powers or skills are visible.
At least he must have risen higher than me.
Let’s think.
Who climbed the lowest floor I’ve ever seen.
If my memory is correct, the lich I saw in the labyrinth.
They said that the guy who sold his soul to Kildereth climbed the 35th floor.
He wasn’t an NPC.
Classified as a monster.
At least a certain level is required to open the possibility of becoming an NPC.
So does Demi Demon.
The body is a demon. However, because it was before he manifested, he was not classified as an NPC or a monster.
‘I think you can become an NPC only when you reach the 70th floor or higher.’
We can’t be sure because we don’t have enough samples yet.
I have to keep in mind that my authority has risen to the SS rank.
It may be information you may not have seen before.
Still, didn’t I find out that the 70th floor had a possibility while talking with Bosongsongi?
Starting from the 70th floor, it is classified as an upper layer, and even the community is cut off from the lower layer.
“ha ha ha. You must be a bit perplexed. It’s okay, it’s safe here. It’s a place that monsters can’t enter. You can rest assured.”
wriggling
I unknowingly clenched my fist.
Heida is described as a monster.
Heyda must have thought of Denium as a friend.
He used to come often.
I remembered the conversation I had with Heida.
When Denium came to visit, he asked what he was doing and Heida.
– Just stand far away, see me and disappear.
I answered like this
At that time, I thought that Denium was also subject to systemic restrictions because she became an NPC, but not now.
There’s something about this guy.
“Rest for now. As you can see from the options, it takes a month in the safe zone to move up. Ah, the introduction is late. My name is Denium Pregrent. What about you?”
“You can call me Evil Eye.”
“Is it like a stage name? It doesn’t matter. Come with me.”
Denium, who has approached me pretending to be friendly, leads me.
let’s go together
Excluding Heida, this is the only NPC on the 48th floor.
I don’t know if there are other NPCs, but at least that’s what’s been confirmed now.
The place he guided was a town in a safe zone.
It was no different from a ghost town, with no people and crops growing on their own.
“This is my home. There are many rooms, so you can use them however you like.”
Only one.
There was a mansion that was so splendid and intact that it was heterogeneous.
A three-story building. The whitewashed interior of the mansion was hung with all sorts of trinkets and picture frames.
“I can give it as a gift if you want. Right now, and after we get to know each other a bit more. You know, a month is a long time, right?”
Denium entered the guest room and sat down on the sofa.
As if by magic, refreshments appear and are placed on the table.
I also sat across from him.
“The house is nice.”
“is it? This is small enough. haha! I don’t know if you know it, but I was once a duke of the Empire.”
As if telling a secret story, he leans over and whispers.
In particular, the word peacock was accented.
Was this what the drunk with power meant?
“It’s all futile now. Life in the world doesn’t work out the way you want it to. There are always unexpected obstacles in the way.”
“That’s right. It’s a world where you can’t just go comfortably.”
I replied moderately and chewed the prepared apple pie.
Sweet.
There was no poison.
Did Heida like apple pie?
“Can I bring some?”
“However much. Don’t worry about anything while you’re in the safe zone. I will accommodate you.”
One of the things I felt while climbing the tower.
The more isolated NPCs are, the more talkative they are.
It’s more like being alone for a long time.
I put the apple pie in the subspace ring and leaned back on the sofa.
“Thank you for the kindness…”
I stared at him with cold eyes.
“There is no favor without a price. There is no reason for NPCs to be in safe zones without meaning. What do you want?”
“You have a good eye. Do you like it. People these days take goodwill for granted.”
Denium changes his eyes at once.
snake-like eyes
I’m not too keen on skimming me, but getting information is a priority.
In any case, he is the only one who remains among the people around Heida.
It is very likely that he knows about Odelto as well.
Didn’t Heida tell you? Odelto was the only one who stayed by his side even after giving the gift.
There’s no way Denium doesn’t know Odelto.
Why not ask directly though.
‘It’s not the relationship I had imagined with Heida.’
He’s hostile toward Heida.
no. Is it right to say that you are afraid? If it was simply dislike, I would have used a different expression than a monster.
Unless you know what kind of relationship Denium and Odelto are, it’s not right to mention them prematurely.
I thought to find his trace alone.
It’s better if you can get a hint from a conversation or something.
“You can rest for a while or look around. I have some business to do, so I’ll get up first.”
Is it your own consideration?
With that said, he left the reception room.
As Danium recommended, I don’t plan to sleep here.
Heida is waiting outside. Deokchun is also with me.
what though
“Let’s look around.”
He stood up from his seat with a time gap between him and Denium.
I came out into the hallway, but no one was in sight.
I looked around the building at a leisurely pace.
The hallway was tidy and the floor was carpeted.
As Denium said, most of the rooms are empty.
There were a few places that were used as storage, but nothing special, and sometimes there were locked rooms.
A kitchen that has cooled down and a neglected gymnasium that can be seen over the balcony.
Starting with the reception room on the first floor, we went up one floor at a time.
I looked carefully to see if there was a hidden piece, but nothing caught my eye.
Instead…
“Is it a portrait?”
3rd floor hallway.
I could find a place where the portraits of the members of the Denium Pregrent family were lined up.
2 meter frame.
Men and women in colorful clothes were drawn precisely.
Among them was Denium, whom I met today, and next to him…
“Are there clues here?”
[Portrait of Odelto Fregrent]
-A masterpiece of conversion painted by a skilled painter with corrections. A
portrait of the person I was looking for was hanging.
Odelto Pregrent.
A still young face.
Unlike family members who generally have sharp impressions, they have a gentle impression.
It is also the only smiling face.
My head gets complicated.
Denium and Odelto are from the same family?
“Oh, I was looking at the portrait.”
“Denium.”
Denium came up the stairs with complicated timing and approached me.
“How is it? Aren’t you handsome?”
“yes. what. You look good.”
If it hadn’t been for the portrait description, I would have been able to speak with more sincerity.
Whether or not he liked the answer, Denium raised his lips.
“He is my son.”
“Your son?”
was it your son?
“Poor kid. I didn’t even have a proper coming-of-age ceremony, so I got cheated on.”
After a brief pause, Denium turns to me.
“I told you earlier. There is no favor without a price. What do you expect?”
“I did.”
“I was going to tell you after I’ve relaxed a bit more, but it’s okay if I tell you now.”
[The quest has been created.]
“Help me avenge Evileye’s son.”
[Sealing Heida – Hidden Quest]
– Duke Denium of Sainton Peace wants to seal the NPC Heida.
-You can help him.
-Reward: Fregrent Family’s Treasure Sword of Greed (AA)
-If you fail, you will die with a high probability.
[Are you sure you accept the quest? (YES/NO)]
I was a bit taken aback by the unexpected development, but I soon regained my composure.
It felt like the puzzle fit a little bit.
‘Heida said that all of her friends had disappeared.’
Most of them were peripheral figures, such as servants or gardener children.
Come to think of it, they are all ordinary people.
On the other hand, Denium, who did not disappear until the end, is an aristocrat of the empire, and even rose to the position of duke.
It is not an easy opponent even if someone tries to trick them.
That’s probably why Odelto has been by Heida’s side for a long time.
Just because he is the son of a duke.
Heida says he has no memories, but the things he said he had no memories of don’t go away.
how will we do it.
Currently I’m doing Odelto’s gift quest.
In fact, if you look at it, you can accept it.
The condition of the quest I am performing is this.
[Odelto’s Gift – Hidden Quest]
– Deliver the gift prepared by Odelto to Heida.
-Odelto’s Ring (1/1)
-Odelto’s Letter (0/1)
It’s just a gift.
There is nothing wrong with finding and handing over the letter and sealing Heida according to Denium’s quest.
I don’t have it…..
“It takes a while.”
“What do you mean?”
“it’s nothing. Think about it for a moment…”
Perhaps because of the lukewarm reaction than expected, Damian spoke again.
“Yes, it’s hard to take risks for someone you don’t know. I have something to show you. If you find out what kind of child Odelto is, you won’t be able to forgive Heida either.”
Denium took me to a room at the end of the third floor of the mansion.
Unlike other empty rooms, there are traces of people living there.
“This is my son’s room. I don’t come in often because my heart hurts, but I come in often to see the diary written by the child.”
He pulls out a notebook sandwiched between books.
“He was such a good kid that there was no one in the territory who hated his son. He also had a talent for witchcraft. His vassals whispered that he fell in love with neither swordsmanship nor magic. Tsk.”
Swoop. Denium hands me the diary.
“I will be out. It’s hard to stay. read it slowly You can make the decision to accept the quest later.”
“What is that over there?”
I grabbed Denium as he was about to go outside and pointed at the doll hanging across the bed.
wooden doll. It is something that does not match the atmosphere of the room.
In particular, the face is delicately sculpted to the point where you might think that it is a craft rather than a toy.
-It
was a very brief moment of flinching, but Danium’s eyes twitched.
“It’s a doll made after a child. Because I miss my son.”
After saying that, Denium left the room.
I am the only one left in the room.
I checked the diary first.
A simple day’s routine and trivial incidents. The time spent with Heida is recorded.
About how much Odelto cared for Heida and treated him with trust and love.
The story of a boy who was just bright from what was written.
Although it was something that might anger Heida for betraying Odelto.
[The SS-level Power Star Eyes are activated.]
As the powers are manifested, the information in the diary comes to mind.
[Forged Diary of Odelto]
-This is a diary written by Denium following Odelto’s handwriting.
Ha, look at this baby?
