Chapter 182 The hideout needs maintenance (2)
[The hideout’s guardian has been registered.]
[Current guardian: Advanced Angel Karel.]
The angel Karel has returned after slaughtering giants for a while. She said with a bright smile as she brushed off her greatsword, which was soaked in green bodily fluid presumed to be the giant’s blood.
“There are not that many living creatures roaming around here than I thought. It was easy to organize, perhaps because of the nature of living together.”
“…You killed all the giants?”
“yes. They will never bother you again.”
Arcadia’s system where even the hunting grounds have their own ecosystem. Hearing her words that she had killed all the giants, Jaeyoung seemed to hear a system notification sound that he had missed.
[Giant annihilation. Remaining population: 0.]
[Failed to meet the minimum conditions for habitat maintenance.]
[Fire giant’s habitat is destroyed.]
Jaeyoung has destroyed another hunting ground today. Of course, he didn’t directly induce it, so just hearing his name didn’t give him a nasty title, but Jaeyoung sighed and said.
“Haa… no, they’re giants. I think it wouldn’t matter if we just let them go, but why did you do that?”
“I don’t think we should leave unknown variables alone.”
“…Then you only have to kill those who approach this rare.”
“The best defense is offense. It is better to go and attack first than to defend this place from intruders.”
“…..”
The more we talk, the more Jae-young gets his head pounding. Soon, he looked at L without a word and protested why he brought such a screwed-up guy, but L shrugged his shoulders and said.
“What would you do if the adventurers came here to catch the giant and found this place? They wouldn’t even die. The best thing to do is to make sure you don’t even get around this rare. Especially since all the barriers and guardians that Cervenian had previously installed disappeared.”
It may not be right now, but Jaeyoung had nothing more to say when he said that it was inevitable to minimize the risk of being exposed to monsters because they are users who go to hunt wherever there are monsters.
“Hey, did you see it?”
“That’s right.”
“Look closely at the viciousness of those chickens. Aren’t you saying that we’ve been complacent up until now?”
“I do not choose means and methods for efficiency. It is certainly surprising that such an idea of annihilating a species would come so naturally.”
“I’ve felt it for a long time, but are those bastards more vicious? We still don’t just kill and run around, do we?”
“…It’s strangely self-important. I need to push myself a little harder.”
A situation without an answer in which the devil looks at the angel and reflects on the fact that their wickedness was complacent and ruminates on a new resolution. Jaeyoung gave up on the probation at a situation where his mind was lost, and soon gave up and sighed with a resigned face.
“Yeah… Whatever it is, it’s fine, so take good care of this place from now on. The two of you build up your pride and don’t fight and make a mess.”
“….All right.”
“Let’s try…”
Fortunately, the golden goblin seemed to be non-combat, so Jaeyoung’s worries were lessened. He looked at Tan and El and said.
“Then are you both satisfied now?”
“Ayu customer. Sure. Please continue to use our demon employment service.”
“…I’m satisfied too.”
[A complex contract between the heavens and the demon world has been established.]
[2,000,000 probabilities have been consumed.]
[Contract period: 1 year]
Damn the demon king and the archangel who steal 1 million probabilities in a year. It seemed clear to me that he would have done a great deal at a glance, but Jaeyoung didn’t say anything sad about it.
Whatever it was, everything that Jaeyoung had been through so far was possible thanks to the help of the two, and it was because the probability was extremely high.
“Then shall we go back now?”
“Where?”
“Where are you? I have to go back to the mainland.”
“already? Can’t we just look around here a little longer? I’m tired of riding the boat again.”
Tan doesn’t like having to spend over a month trapped in a ship to move to the continent. However, despite his complaints, Jaeyoung shook his head and said.
“no. I have to bring the heart to the World Tree quickly.”
“why? Isn’t that urgent?”
The world tree that has lived for eternity since the creation of Arcadia until now. There was no way she would criticize why she had brought her heart until now, so Tan made an expression of incomprehension, but he said with a strange smile.
“Besides the world tree, there are other people in a hurry.”
“who….?”
“There is something like that.”
Tan looks at himself with strange eyes as if he can’t understand. But Jaejoong didn’t say anything. Because it was obvious that I would not understand even if I explained it anyway.
[Please bring the dragon heart to the World Tree as soon as possible.]
The first request of President Lee Mi-yeon, asking for a secret partnership. It was to request that the unification of the entire continent proceed immediately.
[Why?]
[Otherwise… a bomb that shouldn’t explode in Japan right now will explode.]
The influence of the city of Baylan on the Japanese continent was greater than Jaeyoung thought. It was a city created under the agreement of all countries for the peace and stability of the entire continent, and it was also the center of logistics and commerce where the economic power of the entire continent was most concentrated.
But such a city was completely blown up overnight?
There was no one who would leave the place alone as it quickly became an ownerless ruin.
[Send an investigation team right now. Thoroughly investigate all facts without any suspicion.]
[Baylan is completely in ruins…? A dragon appears…? What the hell does that mean!]
[Send all available troops for now! You mustn’t let Amon take over Beilan!]
Whether it’s near Beilan or a far-away kingdom on the periphery. Regardless of where, whether it is the military or the investigation team, I am anxious to put a spoon on it after sending it. That’s why CEO Lee Mi-yeon asked Jae-young.
[Even at this moment, all kinds of forces, including users, must be flocking to Beilan. If you do something wrong, the situation will deteriorate to an irreversible level, but in my judgment, the best way to overcome this situation is for Jaeyoung to bring his heart to the World Tree. That too as soon as possible.]
President Lee Mi-yeon said continental integration is the best way in the current situation. Jaeyoung had experienced similar situations in other RPG games before, so he could immediately sense what she meant.
[Are you saying that a common enemy is needed to prevent internal fighting?]
[That’s right. As usual, in the case of the Japanese continent, hostility and wariness toward other continents are quite strong because of the Black Pirates who dominated the seas of the Shoen Empire. If the distance to kingdoms or empires on other continents is closer than now, they will be a little more cautious.] [….There is a
point.]
The Shōen Empire has already had a disgraceful experience of losing its land to pirates and the like. And other kingdoms that watched in real time as mighty empires were brutally defeated and beaten over and over again. Now everyone is willing to go to war to occupy the territory of Beilan located in the center of the continent, but if the integration between the continents takes place, they will be a little hesitant.
You never know what the consequences of unnecessary power consumption will be.
“Anyway… I’ll trust that the two of you will take good care of the hideout.”
“Chuckling… I’ll make sure to manage it.”
“Do not worry. I will make sure that no life forms can exist in this vicinity.”
The Golden Goblin and Karel confidently ask you to trust them. Jaeyoung tilted his head in a strange feeling, as if the lines between the two were reversed and said with a curious mind.
“Just in case, don’t mess around here while the two of you are fighting. Then the contract is canceled immediately.”
flinch.
hot.
The angel and the devil glance at each other, both reacting violently to those words. And then, as if not to worry, he told Jaeyoung.
“I don’t like it…but I get it.”
“…I’m only doing my duty.”
“…why are the answers so unreliable?”
An uneasy feeling that if you leave the two of them alone, Jae-young will be greeted by the destroyed hiding place when they return. However, as if there was no need to worry about that, El flew over and whispered.
“Don’t worry, Dex. Maybe even if we fight, it won’t be a big deal.”
“huh? How do you know that?”
El is so confident. Jaeyoung asked with a puzzled look at her words.
“Kamiel is specialized in combat even among high-ranking angels. In particular, it has a mission of punishment and punishment. It means that they possess overwhelming force compared to other high-ranking angels.”
L brought the most battle-crazy angel when he asked for a trustworthy guardian to entrust him with the hideout. Jaeyoung was looking at her words with an absurd look, but L continued talking.
“But the guy who brought that bat …..
“…..”
Jaeyoung is confused about something. I wonder if this is really the sound coming out of the archangel’s mouth, and a huge confusion is about to come to his values, but L said with a bright smile as if telling him not to worry.
“Perhaps if the two of them fight, the number of those bats will just turn to ashes in an instant?”
Jaejoong was convinced of this.
Who knows, the personality of the person who designed this race of angels would never be at the level of a normal person.
* * *
Free City of Bailan.
The splendid and gigantic city was completely destroyed by the catastrophic magic Kervenian poured out to his heart’s content, leaving only its ruins and traces.
A city that was completely wiped off the map overnight. A bloody war of nerves was taking place here, which clearly showed the dragon’s strength and fear.
“Where are the Karven Kingdom guys hanging around here! Doesn’t it go off?”
“It’s crazy and crazy! Duchy of Ivern! How do you guys get over here?”
“Historically, this domain of Bailan belonged to our principality!”
“This must be the place where you fucking bastards stole from us with the empire on their backs, you thieves!”
“What is it? thief? These beggars… are you going to give it a try?”
“joy! Let’s show off our skills, okay?”
At this time, troops and delegations from all over the continent are rushing to Beilan. The Karven Kingdom and Ivern Principality, which are closest to Bailan, ran here with their troops faster than anyone else. In order to somehow claim the rights of this bailan as much as possible in the future.
But… Unfortunately, the two forces arrived here at the same time. In addition, both of them had similar national power, so neither side made concessions and started to collide.
“Today I will wash away the shame of the past.”
“We will raise our honor with your heads.”
clap.
Whoops.
Thousands of soldiers grabbed weapons and stood on alert, wizards raised mana, and knights began to emit auras, a desperate situation. At this urgent moment, as if they were about to run into each other at any moment, the space in the center of these two forces began to shudder.
Whoops.
spot.
“…?”
“What is it?”
A Jae-young suddenly appears in the middle of the ruins where there was nothing.
When everyone is looking at him with puzzled eyes. Having received thousands of stares, he looked around with troubled eyes and muttered.
“No, why are we fighting here anyway? fuck.”
