Chapter 177
60. Red Desert (4).
10.
It was a huge hole. 20 meters in diameter would be a huge hole. The word “hole” was a small word, rather than a small word, but the expression “entrance to the Moose Gang” was the right size to give.
The four of us who looked at the entrance were speechless.
“er · · · · ·. ”
At least Hirkan, who suffered from prenatal period, first opened his mouth and regained his mind.
“So you have to get in here? ”
“If you listen to the contents of the quest or the notification of the Jewelry Sora, you are right in here. ”
Thing replied, “Until now, Yozori and Joba were still staring at the hole because they weren’t awake. The majesty of the hole was such that he kept her mouth shut.
Of course, the hole was large and not overwhelmed by its majesty.
“Crazy, you saw that, too! ”
The one who overpowered the Hirkans was the one who made this hole, not this one.
“Mmm.”
In Hirkan’s words, four thought of the sights about three minutes ago. When everyone remembered the sight, Hirkan narrowed down the memory of the time by kicking his tongue.
“What was that snake called before? Anyway, you saw the whole ten-floor apartment just popping out. ”
It was the tombstone that awaited Hirkan’s group when they arrived at their destination following the words of Gem Sora. Everything was erased by weathering, and it remained just a tombstone, and that was all. Of course, in front of the tombstone, the four of them had a dark face, and the thought of bringing the jewelry sora to their ears was underneath.
I was saying that I should go in.
Everyone said a word about having to go down. So you have to dig up the land? But you can’t dig up the Red Desert Land, can you? We won’t. That’s what I said.
Kukuku!
There was an earthquake with the noise, and a crack in the ground with the earthquake. As if the ground were going to go out, everyone ran away once in a crack. The moment they leave the tombstone, a giant snake rises beneath the Red Desert. Hirkan, who suffered from so much misfortune.
I was just so stupid that I could look at him.
The serpent appeared and immediately turned off into the ground.
Since then, the situation has been the situation now.
“Obviously. I’m telling you to get inside this jewelry store. ”
Thing once again emphasized that he brought the jewellery sora to his ear. For reference, it was the seventh emphasis. Nevertheless, Thing didn’t know how much emphasis he was making, and he couldn’t care less. Thought there was one thing about being sober.
“Phew.”
Hirkan sighs for a long time.
“This is insane.”
None of this is unbelievable. It’s a game. The appearance of a giant snake, the snake making a hole, the hole being the way to somewhere, it’s not weird. It’s a game, so it’s a great setup to face.
‘If the snake is a boss monster, can we catch it? ’
Problem is, if you have to catch that giant snake that you saw a little while ago. You have to face the serpent who made this hole, and you have to fight the serpent. In that case, it’s not a cool setting, it’s a damn right setting. Even Hirkan’s battle with the serpent was hard to estimate.
It was because of that that everyone frowned.
“I’ll go in alone first. ”
In that situation, a well-thought-out thought was sacrificed. Hirkan looked at Thing.
“This hole is not an instant dungeon, so one person can go in and see the situation and come back. If you get into trouble, you can run. ”
“Oh, I’ll go in first. ”
“No. It’s better for a surviving Crusader to get in. ”
Then the yogurt and joba, which had kept their mouths shut, began to make sacrifices as if they were natural. There was no hesitation in their actions. It’s like this is natural.
On the other hand, the subjugation was different from them. I was surprised to hear them and at the same time I was troubled.
Because he was afraid. Hirkan calculated the price he had to pay by getting a game-over. The simplest figure was money, and as soon as the figure was measured, Hirkan kept his mouth shut. I didn’t like the shame, and I didn’t like the shame of bouncing my balls in front of it.
I didn’t like the look.
‘How could I? ’
The Hero Butcher did not do this calculation. I didn’t even know what to do. The only calculation a hero slayer makes is to calculate how to abandon and kill something like life if there is one to kill.
“Whoo.”
Hirkan takes a long sigh.
“If that’s the idea, I should go in. ”
Three reacted to his words, and Hirkan explained them first before they spit.
“I’m the only one who can defeat a bad mob in here. ”
Hirkan was right. I wouldn’t have come all the way here if it wasn’t for him. And the Red Desert is a tough stage for even Hirkans. For the remaining three, even one Goblin appears here. Because that’s the game.
The other three nodded at the words.
“Then we can all go in together. ”
“That should do it. ”
Thing looked at Hirkan instead of answering. Hirkan was still considering it.
‘It’s not an instant dungeon, so you can run away. Yeah, that’s it. You can use the golem to buy time. You can live in a tiger’s den if you stay awake. ’
Looking at Hirkan like that, the two eyes of Thing changed.
11.
[You have entered the Countermeasures’ den.]
[You acquired the title ‘Counter’s Nest Visitor’.]
[You acquired the title ‘The Successor of the Destruction Kingdom Will’.]
[You acquired the title ‘The Mysterious Serpent Seer’.]
Three gifts immediately came to the four men who came down like waterslides through a huge hole created by a giant snake called a miraculous snake. Three of the four people who received the gift immediately opened the gift package.
“It feels good to be a visitor. ”
“If it was the Countermeasures’ lair, it would have caught the scenario just as the Questman had expected. ”
“I wish I could just come out and welcome the elves instead of that. ”
“Crazy bastard.”
“What I said a little while ago, I thought I was crazy. More amazing snakes than that, right? ”
“That’s admissible. It’s cool that a giant snake built a tunnel. ”
On the other hand, one unwrapped the watch instead of opening the gift wrap.
[Item Slot Chain Mode is disabled.]
He grabs the unraveled wristwatch, and the grabbed wristwatch creates a door in the dark.
[Summoned Death Knight.]
Death Knight appeared in a dark tunnel.
[Activate special skill ‘Tongue Soldier’.]
Immediately with the advent of Destiny, nine Skeleton Warriors, two Skeleton Wizards, and one Skeleton Knight also appeared.
[You summoned Bone Armor.]
[Madness Helm activates.]
I once again armed the Skeleton Corps with all sorts of skills. Wearing the Bone Armor, the horns rise, and their weapons carry all kinds of curses.
[Life vest is activated.]
Finally, Hirkan activated his Life Bessel skill.
The preparations for survival, and the battle at any time, could only be completed after all this work had been done.
“Whoo.”
There was a sigh that seemed to hold that angle.
“All right, let’s move. ”
Twelve.
Death Knight was leading the way with Chubbuck and Skeleton Horse. Afterwards, Skeleton Knights, Warriors, and Wizards followed, and Hirkan’s group was at its best. Humira was so distant from the Death Knight crowd that even the expression did not match. That street.
was considerable.
However, Hirkan continued to defend the surrounding area, despite being dissatisfied with the street.
The vigilance was too great.
“Don’t do that. We’ll take the lead. ”
More unpleasant joba and yogurt.
“Dangerous.”
“Can you only add to the trouble of dying? ”
Honestly, from their point of view, Hirkan’s vigilance was clearly excessive. I don’t enjoy gaming over, but from their point of view, gaming over was a bold choice when needed.
By comparison, Hirkan seemed to focus solely on surviving rather than others.
And Hirkan’s vigilance devoured time. Hirkan’s Skeleton Squadron, which showed incredible speed when they started the battle, moved at the slowest speed they could move.
It was a reason why travelling less than three kilometers would take more than an hour. But to the extent that such vigilance is so colourless, it threatens the Hirkans until the moment they discover the ruined Jeser City with the name of the Counter-Terrorist lair across the tunnel.
There was not one. There was not a single battle.
“Wow!”
“That’s amazing. ”
“What is it? Where does the light come from? ”
“Hey, there’s something there. The ceiling is so high. I think it’s almost the size of a dome. ”
“Surprisingly, if you look clean enough to call it a ruin, you don’t think you’ve been attacked here? I think I just dumped it. ”
In response to the discovery of that Jezzer City, Yozori and Joba began to rush to satisfy their curiosity.
On the other hand, even at this moment Hirkan was nervous.
‘Where is it? ’
I chased after the trace of the serpent that I saw. I prepared for a battle with a snake I don’t know when.
Where did he go? ’
Thinking then came to Hirkan’s senses of tension.
“I don’t know if it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, but it makes the game so much fun. ”
“What?”
Hirkan reflectively asked. Hirkan’s remarks were sharp. But Thing was never the one who couldn’t talk to me about that sharpness.
“I think the last time we met, we had a grumpy, fun game. ”
“What do you want to say? ”
Thing refined his thoughts instead of immediately. I organized my thoughts and feelings about Hirkan after I met him to advance this quest. The answer came out afterwards.
“That’s why I play games. It’s my own choice. But if you have a reason, you have to act accordingly. ”
Thing, the subroutine he saw was a gamer who seemed to have been sent by God if he exaggerated a bit. A warrior sent by God because he wants to see the end of a game called Warlord. He is like a warrior of God!
In fact, Hirkan has produced results that transcend his abilities. He did not give up in any of his challenges, made his way without concealing the means and methods, and threw his life in a battle he deemed impossible, leading him to victory.
Hajeongtal was such a user. Already his combat footage that makes YouTube hot was the most obvious proof of his dislocation. Despite being able to handle powerful skeleton men, he threw his life away whenever he needed to lead the battle to victory.
There can be no rejection of gaming over, no fear of the risks of gaming over. Just looking at the battle of subjugation, he was convinced that he would always take that risk and that what he was doing would be worth taking that risk.
But right now, the harassment was completely different from then.
The difference is that others don’t know. Though I’ve seen all of it closely before and after Hirkan, I can tell because I think of Hirkan as my own friend.
“When it comes to making money, be thorough and commercial. I want you to play a game for a customer who will give you money. ”
I thought I was a friend, and I also said this.
“If that’s not the point of taking the highest level, play the game efficiently. Don’t do this here, take WoodDevil or any other monster and invest everything in level-ups. If it’s just to be famous, make a case. You might want to challenge a 30-year-old guild. ”
Thing thought Hirkan was a friend. What a great friend you’ve met in a great world!
“If the purpose is to perform the main scenario quest, get in a position that suits you. ”
If you didn’t think you were a friend, you would never say something like this.
Hirkan did not even sigh in the words of such a thought. I pondered. Thinks to Hirkan who is pondering also no longer spit on me. That’s how Hirkan’s troubles deepened.
Thirteen.
There was no battle.
I’ve never been in the Counter-Terrorist’s lair. There were no allies. There were only traces of something left, and the Hirkans were able to use the Gem Sora to discover the sleeping place of the relics left by the owners of the Counter’s lair.
“Crate found, three. ”
Three boxes were found beneath the stone tomb in the city of Jesus. It was a red box, a black box and a green box. There was one scroll in the red box and three scrolls in the black box. And the green box didn’t open.
“Is that what this is? ”
“That’s right. I saw it there. ”
But the thought group could quickly figure out what was in that green box.
“You must have heard the record tree seeds. I’ve seen a box like this near the log tree. ”
“What a magnificent artifact. ”
And the moment I grabbed the green box, I heard a quest notification from a group of thinkers. Their quest content has also changed. Bring the Green Box to the Elf tribe who gave them the quest.
On the other hand, there were no special changes to Hirkan’s quest notification. There were no new system notifications. The artifact of the Elf Kingdom that Hirkan was looking for, unlike his expectations, seems to be elsewhere.
However, Hirkan was not discouraged. I didn’t even bother. I just looked at it.
‘It’s clean.’
I looked at the skeletons around Bone Armor because it was so clean. Looking at it, the tension, worry, concern and vigilance that had been held in a state of blood-drying seemed ridiculous.
No, it was actually ridiculous.
“Chewy bastard. ’
It was a coward’s stubbornness.
Thing was right.
Knowledge of the past before returning to the past, because there is information, because there is confidence in the rewards that can be obtained, and because there is nothing to lose, I came to everything.
But not now. Everything I encountered was unknown, and I lost more than anything else.
I once sought to cross the boundaries of a frivolous gameover for the fun of the game, but now I’m just being vigilant to avoid that situation.
‘I thought it was bullshit to make people. ’
It was also self-denial.
Why did Hirkan do Necromancer? Just to give the skeletons everything they need?
No. To make the stage where the Hero Butcher can play. Between the skeletons turning off the monster’s gaze and aggro, to create a stage where the Hirkans could handle the most dangerous things, never just play games with skeletons and golems.
C. Environment
‘What I wanted to do was at least not like this. ’
Hirkan bites him tightly. The tails of the mouth have also increased axially.
“What’s the status of the quest? ”
That thought asked him a question.
“My quest doesn’t even flutter. ”
“Maybe you should visit the Red Elf Tribe Village with the seeds of the Record Tree? ”
“No, do your quest first rather than that. There’s only one thing, but if you lose it or you get into trouble, your quest will be in a state of impossibility or something. ”
“Still. ”
“It must be a linked quest anyway. There may be clues to my quest in your next quest. Let’s see what you do first. Let’s start with the obvious. ”
Hirkan continued.
“And I have a business to attend to, and the Urgal Mountains have to come over once. There’s no reason to be in a hurry. So take care of it first. ”
I glanced at Hirkan, who gave up neatly, with a restless gaze of yogurt and joba. It was a sincere concern. How hard has Hirkan been playing for them? Isn’t Hirkan the only one with a can?
Thing lightly kicks the red box nearby instead of saying nothing to Hirkan.
Tuck!
The red box hits Hirkan’s foot and stops.
“You can’t send it back empty-handed. You must take the power of the legendary Ancient. ”
At that, Hirkan nods.
“Great. It’s just divided by the number of heads. I have three transcendental salaries, so I want you to share them with me. Or you want to sell it to me? ”
“How much are you going to give me? ”
“How about 100,000 gold per dog? ”
Yozori and Joba were surprised by the 100,000 gold words, and thought hardened their faces.
“I’m going to eat it.”
“Instead, I’ll grab a sandwich on the way back and let you have some ice cream. I’ll help you level-up, and I’ll bring you some of the ingredient coins I got from them as souvenirs. They’re friends. Let’s make it cheap. ”
Then Thing loosened his face.
“Because we’re friends, we have to do a thorough calculation. 200,000 gold. ”
On the contrary, Hirkan’s expression hardened.
“Hey, whose house is 200,000 gold? ”
“The Circle of Purification. ”
“It could be a dog name. What do you want me to do with the two of you? ”
