chapter 55
55 – That bastard’s montage
“They say I don’t need money because of my great contributions, but they say they can’t give me everything. The administration said they needed samples to analyze.”
Nodding-
“I’ll have to go find it the day after tomorrow. You need bones, right?”
“Tickktoktaktak!!”
“I can’t imagine how powerful it would be if I made a bomb out of those monster bones. Wouldn’t the earth explode later on? Huh? Will we, Ilwol, become the villain who destroys the earth?”
She teased me by poking my side.
Sararak- Sarak-
In response to the prank, I put a pillow on my thigh and brush her hair more roughly as she lies down.
Yeonhee raised her head with the corner of her mouth raised, and our eyes met for a moment. I can feel her heart beating a little faster.
‘It’s a face that makes you feel afraid just by looking at it.’
Maybe it’s better to wear a mask or something when you’re at home.
I turned her head to calm her mind and body, and she hesitated for a moment, then took out her crystal and held it up.
‘Ancient Crystal… Was that monster really a raid-level monster? It’s absurd.’
“I got this appraisal on the way home, so don’t be surprised to hear it! It’s worth 240 million! With that money, we could pay the penalty for this house and move to a bigger place right away!”
‘240 Million is a lot of options. But rather than selling it, it’s better to process it and use it as a magical orb.’
If you don’t want to work as a hunter again, it would be right to sell it right away, but if that’s not the case, it would be more appropriate to craft it into a magic storage warehouse or increase recovery speed.
“I wanted to sell it right away, but I brought it here to show you! How do you like it? The light is so pretty, isn’t it?”
Nod- nod-
A crystal that boasts a mysterious color with purple and orange mixed together. The light is so bright and beautiful that it is even used as a wedding ring material. Of course, it’s filthy expensive, but it feels better than diamonds in terms of size and price.
‘Can you draw a picture for this?’
Giving a signal to change to an orb could make me doubt my identity. When I was thinking about what to do.
Yeonhee The cell phone rang, and when I heard the caller’s voice, it was a lecturer from the White Knight Guild.
‘What happened?’
The two talked for a long time, and embarrassingly, Jo Ki-man spent a lot of time talking behind his back.
‘Is it okay to do that to someone who is about to come in… And if you hate it that much, just leave, taking Yeonhee with you? Please.’
Of course, Kang Yeon-soo, the founding member, had no reason to leave the guild. She usually pretends to be indifferent to the guild, but she actually has a pretty attachment to it.
Anyway, Kang Kang-soo heard from somewhere that Yeon-hee had received a crystal evaluation and contacted her.
‘Are these bastards following Yeonhee? Well… There are plenty of possibilities. Anyway, there are investments.’
There hasn’t been any signs of suspiciousness within my range of senses yet, so it doesn’t seem like they’re catching up to the level of an interpersonal mark, but it’s probably to the extent that reports go up at regular intervals.
At the end of the ongoing conversation, Kang Suggested making the crystal into an orb, just like I thought.
Orbs are not the size that wizards carry around with both hands, so we should adjust them to increase portability by cutting them into several pieces and turning them into accessories.
Its main function is to replenish the magic lost in battle at once with the stored magic, and incidentally, it will slightly increase the power of magic and the speed of magic recovery.
‘Sometimes training helps. It’s just a memory of always grumbling at me, but looking at it like this, you take good care of your younger brother, right?’
“Yeonsu unnie says that if you craft it with an orb, the efficiency of mana storage will go up a lot! But I heard that the cost of crafting is over 5 million won? Hi… I spent it all on the cost of moving.”
‘I just need to earn money again.’
“That’s why I’m going to run non-stop tomorrow as well!!”
Nod-
Sararak-
“Ehh…”
Seeing her lively shouting, her carefully touching her hair. It was because a dark shadow was cast behind her bright face.
“After I finished talking with that B-class hunter at the empty cafe, the haze outside cleared up… But there are dead bodies…”
She couldn’t have known that she had many of her victims. It’s just that I have a high sensory level like a pervert, and her feeling level is far above average.
However, it is a completely different dimension to seeing it with your own eyes.
“At least 700 people, including the hunters who applied, must have died. And looking at the articles on the Internet, they said that the hunters who were attacked by the spore snail are still undergoing treatment.”
Nod-
The longer the spore snail is subjected to hostification, the longer it takes to fully recover. It took well over an hour for the first poison to spread and the battle to be completely finished, so at least if hostification took place during that time.
‘Even assuming that I was treated immediately, there would be aftereffects that would leave a disability in one place. As long as I don’t have a second awakening from that shock, my job as a hunter will be over.’
I suddenly thought of Han Eul-min, who was begging for an antidote.
‘Still, thanks to Yeon-hee, I drank on time, so I can continue working as a hunter. Lucky for those bastards.’
Anyway, if you saw hundreds of hunters in host mode, you could understand her behavior as she shuddered.
It must have been a picture that would give birth to tryptophobia.
‘Can’t I just quit my job as a hunter? I know he’s enjoying himself, but watching from the side makes me feel uncomfortable.’
Of course, I know very well that Yeon-hee has no intention of doing that. Because she was already immersed in this cruel yet charming world. It was as if she was seeing me in her lifetime. So all we have to do is look up and take another step.
Until one day I get tired of it.
‘For the time being, I should aim to raise my strength enough to deal with that monster.’
“By the way, the monster… Saw the face of Ilwol, right? How was it?”
“·······.”
Yeon-hee suddenly jumped up at the same time as asking the question, brought a notebook and a pen, and held them out in front of me.
‘I’m asking you to draw… Hmm… I’m not very good at drawing.’
After pretending to be stupid for a while, he started playing with her hands.
As I began to draw the features with the monami pen, she followed the pen that was standing close to me, glancing at her pupils.
Mulkeong-
‘······ Khuhum··· Yeonhee is also very good······.’
Even though I didn’t bother injecting magical energy into my body, I felt that something voluptuous hit me.
I stopped at the unexpected skinship for a while, but I started drawing again, and I was able to finish it soon.
“Uh… So… This is…”
‘It must be embarrassing… I was really surprised when I saw that guy’s face. I understand.’
Yeonhee looked at me with a shocked face and struggled to open her mouth.
“Isn’t Ilwol really bad at drawing?! What is this? Isn’t it because my ability is reflected? I’m not at this level!!”
‘·······.’
“Puhahahahahang, it’s really funny. Wang Wang and Tungyi come and watch this!”
Wang King!!
See?
Wang Wangi and Tungyi looked at the painting for a long time, glanced at me, and snorted.
‘Damn it! Shame on you. Showing them my picture.’
Anyway, Yeon-hee had a good time with the summons while looking at my picture, but I couldn’t help but ponder the identity of the monster once again.
‘It’s not clear because the hair has grown sparsely, but the body feels very sturdy like an adult werewolf or a minotaur.’
‘The middle fingernail was very long and sharp. That goes hand in hand with the characteristics of the monster beesel.’
‘As for the face, the muzzle protruded a lot. If you don’t open your mouth, it’s like a werewolf, but… A basilisk with a flexible snake-like mouth and tail.’
And the eyes and ears of the guy who was most shocked upon seeing it.
‘Above the muzzle… It’s definitely an elf characteristic…’
Odd eye with amber and green colors. Sharp, elongated ears protruding upward were unique to the Elves, which could only be encountered in the highest level of dungeons.
‘I wish someone would tell me what’s wrong with my eyes. Ha… Could there be such a monster? A hybrid of all kinds of monsters?’
Fortunately, however, it only had external characteristics, and did not possess the greatest weapons of the tribe.
For example, a basilisk’s ability to petrify, or skillful elemental magic like an elf.
‘But if there is a monster that takes all the abilities of elves, basilisks, minotaurs, werewolves, and beesels…’
It won’t end with a mere accident.
It is known that even with just one elf, it is possible to withstand one-on-one encounters with A-rank hunters…
“Sunwol, am I going to summon you now?”
“Tick tock tock!!”
‘It’s okay to just keep silent, hmm-‘
I felt like something had changed, but I didn’t know what was wrong anymore.
Yeonhee sent out all four summon scrolls, and three of them were Lizardmen. For the other one, another monster was summoned for the first time after the probability was fixed.
Bur- Chahya!
When an orc holding an ax with a sharp blade, with a massive body of a heavyweight and impressive mandibles pointing skywards, came out completely from the portal.
Churup-Churup-
Lizard No. 1 Looked closely at the orc.
Rather, it seemed that he was more interested in Orcs than the 8th, 9th, and 10th Lizard newcomers.
