Mysteries discovered so far: 0 / 10
─Witness the labyrinth of Teppern. (Success)
– Reach the depths of the labyrinth. (In progress)
The renewed goal is to reach the depths of the labyrinth.
It’s not an unexpected goal.
After entering the labyrinth, in order to destroy the labyrinth, you had to reach the depths.
I guess it feels like I’m also doing a side quest.
“…is that a spirit?”
It’s not surprising when you see it for the first time.
Because its appearance is so aesthetic.
The explorers looked at Hyel and the Dark Spirit as if they were in awe.
“Sir, can you leave it to us from now on?”
The first to come to his senses was Fabian.
‘That bastard’s title.’
From the very beginning, he was hot-tempered.
It seemed like it was not rude, but it was an rude title to me.
I could understand.
‘Because the Explorers’ League belongs to Yusra Kingdom.’
Even if I say it with my mouth.
After all, I had [authority] in Yusra Kingdom.
It is only natural that the Explorers of the Alliance, who belong to Yusra Kingdom, show a polite attitude toward me.
Is that why
I responded generously.
“I will watch your performance.”
Fabian and the two men stepped forward.
Gently—
those who stretched out their hands and inspected the high wall.
You’ll be looking for traps.
Still, I can recognize that I have experience.
If it’s a trap, I’ve tasted it enough to put my tongue on it.
[Kirnberg Machine Tower] In the rift.
‘Of course, the feeling is different from then.’
The mechanical tower’s traps are only for hunting demons.
Compared to that silver trap.
The trap here in the Tepperun Labyrinth is…
‘I haven’t seen it yet, but it must be much more vicious.’
First of all, the warning message was not serious.
[Foolish man who entered the Teppern labyrinth.]
[Wealth and wealth do not exist here.]
[Leave this place right away.]
[If you don’t want to die.]
But if you say it doesn’t exist, it exists.
If you don’t do it, you’ll want to do it more.
I’m sure this message wasn’t just for me.
‘I’m sure all the players who entered are thinking the same thing?’
There must be something in the Teppern Labyrinth.
Seeing that the message popped up from the beginning.
Maybe it’s not that the loot is usually hidden.
They must be making a fuss right from the beginning.
‘I wonder if I thought the same.’
The incarnation of integrity and innocence.
Grandfell’s tired personality.
And if I hadn’t met the Dark Spirit.
“The level of Mr. Fabian’s trap is not normal.”
“It’s not just a mechanical device. It has magic power.”
“…It’s magic, but it doesn’t look like normal magic. If you see that the magic tool doesn’t respond.”
“Is it really a mystery?”
“It’s tricky. You did well to bring the treasure of the Federation.”
Glancing—
Fabien, who had discovered the trap, looked at me.
…Are you just standing still? Are you paying attention?
I was stung for nothing, but I didn’t avert my gaze.
That’s because I’ve already declared it after putting on my brazen skin.
I will watch your performance.
‘That’s why I told you to be fully prepared. I.’
to be with me
To handle my bubble.
It will take a lot of preparation.
I kindly wrote a letter and delivered it.
‘Still, I can’t eat it raw just out of conscience.’
A tired personality that turns overestimation into reality…!
The character of relying solely on others is even worse.
It’s full preparation.
I mean, I did this on my own.
‘It’s a shame that his physical strength has reached the level of a superhuman.’
In that sense, it was fortunate that there were no labyrinth-related books in the Magic Tower.
Because there was no time to put the knowledge of the labyrinth into my head.
I remembered the best preparation I could have done.
‘I have no knowledge of labyrinths or traps.’
I was able to get information about the [Teppern Labyrinth].
I looked at the spirit of darkness.
.
.
.
“The reason I invited you guys is simple.”
The chief office of the Magic Tower.
Click—
I said while setting the teacup.
“It’s to hear the opinions of the two seniors about the spirit of darkness.”
A dark spirit with very little to be revealed.
No matter what books I searched, I couldn’t find more information than I already knew.
I didn’t even have to search the internet. The other players didn’t even know anything about normal spirits.
So, the two seniors I invited were Matisse and Payyan.
“I am honored to have invited you.”
“Yes, I’m honored too… Can I quench my thirst first?”
“I will.”
Payyan immediately raises the teacup.
‘A medicine that is good for the body is bitter in the mouth.’
Most non-medicinal herbs are tasteless for human consumption.
In the first place, they were plants closer to medicine than tea.
I’m constantly taking it to supplement my pitiful stats
.
That non-herbal teas are not appropriate for customer service.
So it was a car prepared.
“…Bitter is something subtle, isn’t it? It’s different from tea.”
Does anyone who has eaten a lot know that?
The gluttonous Pei Yan seemed to guess right away.
‘Yes, it must be a subtle taste.’
Those are premium green tea bags that cost 300 won each.
Why did they treat tea bag green tea with high quality?
Going back, I had to explain everything from early morning delivery to discount coupons.
I left Fei Yan frowning behind me and got to the point.
“What do you think is the reason why the dark spirit appeared in Teppern?” It was
Fayyan who
was about to take a shot at the car that spoke first.
Feiyan hurriedly lowered her voice and said.
“As you know, I think it is because the difficult conditions for the appearance of the Dark Spirit have been met. Regarding that, I have something to tell you…”
“I did not call you to reprove you, Payyan Lot.”
“…yes?”
I said it back then, but it wasn’t anyone’s responsibility.
The appearance of the spirit of darkness.
It was just a coincidence.
Matisse nodded.
“Senior Payyan. Chief Lee Ho-yeol explains why Teppern has become a place that meets difficult conditions. You are asking us why.”
That was what I was trying to say.
Matisse is also a senior in black magic.
You know the inside of me who has been darkened by dark history.
“Ah, if that’s what you said…”
Feiyan laughed awkwardly before continuing.
“A spirit in a state of no contract has a habit of staying where it opens its eyes. It’s a heterogeneous dark spirit… but I don’t think its basic nature will be different. So I’m guessing that the dark spirit is probably a spirit born in Tepfern.”
“What do you think, Matisse?”
“My thoughts are the same as Senior Fei Yan’s.”
The founder of black magic.
Matisse presented his extensive knowledge.
“Just as a spirit in a state of no contract provides for the mana needed in nature. The dark spirits will also have to procure suitable magic from nature.”
“Yes. After all, it’s a spirit.”
“Teppern would have been the perfect place.”
To put it simply.
It means that the magic power suitable for Tepfern will overflow.
I swallowed a sigh at Matisse’s guess.
…This wasn’t a mystery quest for nothing.
‘The proper magical power comes from the past and background.’
It must be said that there must be a story related to Teppern.
Matisse politely continued.
“I think talking to the Dark Spirit will help you find a suitable source of magic. Unless, of course, there is a story involved. It won’t be much of a problem for you, though.”
You have too much trust in me, Mr. Mathis.
However, Matisse was not completely mistaken.
Yes, the nature of black magic and appropriate magical powers.
‘Darkness is buried in thicker darkness.’
Because Matisse greatly overestimated my suitable magic power. He probably thinks that no matter how much he is Teppern, it doesn’t matter to me.
‘In the end, it would be best to have a conversation with the Dark Spirit.’
The conversation ended there.
Two seniors get up from their seats.
Fayyan, who was leaving the office following Matisse, suddenly opened her mouth.
“…Hey Chief Lee Ho-yeol.”
“?”
“How can I get just one of that car?”
Fayyan smiled kindly.
“Something has a subtle taste, so I want to try just one more cup.”
Are you a glutton, so you can enjoy green tea for 300 won?
I wanted to give you even a few of them.
The timing is unfortunate.
“Unfortunately, that can’t be the case.”
There was only one tea bag left.
But this guy’s pride and formality.
To be honest, I can’t give it to you because I’m going to drink it.
It was impossible to tell the truth.
Thanks, I said it succinctly.
“Excessive caffeine intake interferes with sleep.”
“…yes? Caffeine? What kind of trouble are you?”
.
.
.
Anyone who hears will think I can’t sleep because of my caffeine overdose. A conversation that makes my tongue stick out in shamelessness even when I think about it again. However, it was also fully prepared.
I said in my usual voice.
“I have a question about Teppern.”
Teppern.
As soon as the name came out, the spirit of darkness answered.
“I was waiting for that question. It is infinitely deep darkness.”
Indeed, it was as Matisse said.
You seem to have a lot to say about something.
I looked at Fabian and the others who were focused on disarming the trap.
‘It must be useful information in many ways over there.’
It was not information worth hiding in the yard on the same boat.
So I said it proudly.
“I want to know Teppern’s past, Dark Spirit.”
*
A message in sight.
A voice echoing in the labyrinth.
The players who came to their senses had a conversation.
“Did everyone hear?”
“Nothing. Seeing that you are asking me to leave right away…”
“A strong denial is a strong affirmation! Did you do well to enter?”
Mostly guilds and parties.
At least players who entered alone.
Players who entered in guild or party units had no major problems, but the situation was slightly different for players who entered alone.
Most of them were NetTuber players.
“No, brothers. Is it because I’m alone? How do you humanly sprint! You never know what kind of traps will pop out from where!”
“If I had known this would happen, I would have found a party…!”
“I heard that each labyrinth has a different starting point. Anyway, I’m not alone, right? There must be a player like me who entered alone, right?”
Nettuber players like them.
Park Hwigang conveyed the situation to the viewers.
As expected, the explorer’s knowledge shined.
“Even though there is only one exit to the labyrinth, there are multiple entrances! The location of each player, including me, is different! yes? Hoyeol-nim, can’t you see? no! Also, starting from the depths of the labyrinth, you will eventually meet them all.”
-Then you have to go to the depths???
-Is Hwigang able to do it alone??
-If you don’t think it’s going to work, let’s just give up ㅇㅇ
-ㄹㅇ It’s also a way to hold on until
Ho-yeol clears things
.
This time, I’m going to try a little effort.
‘It’s an opportunity to let the world know about Hoyeol’s achievements.’
Let the world know what I did!
It was Ho-yeol who acted as if he had such a motto.
Even in brief interviews and press conferences, Hoyeol did not show off or reveal his achievements.
‘Even when you cleared the fissure of the castle…’
The clear was not an ordinary clear.
To the extent that it is said that he ‘suffocated’ three fissures of the Devil’s Castle.
Because it was Ho-yeol, who cleared it in just 10 minutes.
So, Park Hwigang sincerely thought.
‘The world needs to know more about Ho-yeol’s hard work.’
Just Homen.
After reciting the incantation, Park Hwigang took a deep breath.
then cried out
“Hey, does anyone want to party with me?”
“…uh? Look, brothers. Because I am not alone.”
“My class is Explorer! It will come in handy in the labyrinth!”
“…Explorers? Wow, I’m glad!!”
“me too! Join me too!”
Players gathered in an instant.
Each one was different.
There were NetTuber players like Park Hwi-gang, high-level players with enough skills to enter alone, and even those known as Supernova.
But what does his origin matter?
After all, they had one purpose.
“Let’s join forces and advance to the depths!”
Of course, it is not an ordinary labyrinth, but one of the 10 wonders, the [Teppern Labyrinth].
Of course, it wasn’t easy from the first step. Shouts were heard from all over the labyrinth, including Park Hwigang’s party.
“What is it? The labyrinth walls are cracking?”
“Hey? Mr. Huigang. Isn’t this collapsing?!”
“Wait a minute, brothers! Is there something inside the wall?”
“Aaaaaagh! Something is moving inside the wall!!”
.
.
.
Hung Sung Hung Sung—
Numerous starting points that exist in the Tepfern Labyrinth.
However, the only point where silence flowed was the place where Ho-yeol and Fabian’s party entered.
Who is Fabian? The best expert in the labyrinth of the Arcana continent and the living legend of the explorer.
“Whoa… the trap has been lifted.”
It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time, but the senses engraved in the body haven’t dulled.
Of course, I benefited from a lot of preparation.
If it wasn’t for the magic tool, I would have lost face in front of Lord Hoyeol.
‘It’s not at the level of an ordinary labyrinth.’
Labyrinth where someone hid loot.
It is natural that it was built by calculating the movement line when recovering the loot.
That there is a hidden shortcut that is safe from traps.
Is there a rule that makes it easy to dismantle traps?
Yes, that was common knowledge of the labyrinth.
However, such elements did not exist in the Teppern Labyrinth.
Like really not allowing anyone access.
All the traps were so elaborate that it was difficult to dismantle them.
‘…Maybe the voice is real.’
Wealth films do not exist.
leave this place right now
If you don’t want to die…
Fabian wasn’t the only one who noticed.
“What do you think, Aaron?”
“…Fabien, isn’t there something strange about you too?”
“Of course I feel uncomfortable too.”
Fabian was overcome with doubt.
Unless it’s to keep rich movies.
Why did Teppern create such a labyrinth?
“A real wonder.”
Common sense did not make sense at all.
But the doubts did not last long.
Because the spirit of darkness has begun to unravel it.
“Teppern was meant to be protected. everything.”
Yes, the truth about Teppern.
“…!!!”
The face of Fabien Aaron Rombus, who was listening to the story, was colored with astonishment.
An unbelievable story. Yes, the reason for the silence at this moment was because of that truth.
But of course.
There was not even a change in Hoyeol’s expression.
Hoyeol opened his mouth.
“I came to know your pride. Teppern.”
And he spat out shocking words.
“Fabien From now on, I will break through the trap head-on.”
“…?”
“You act according to your pride.”
…suddenly?
Break through the trap head-on?
Besides, are you proud?
Songgle Songgle.
A cold sweat formed on Fabian’s forehead.
“Sir, what do you mean?”
.
.
.
What do you mean?
To sum it up in one line, it’s simple.
‘Tepperun sacrificed themselves for the Arcana continent.’
Thanks to that, the pride of not being able to die was activated.
After all, there is no easy way to go.
It was fortunate though.
There’s ‘one’ magic tool that hasn’t been returned yet.
There was no time to relax.
I immediately put on the magic tools I borrowed from the Garnet Hall of the Magic Tower.
