Suho thought.
'It just went well.'
The Asura Guild that Rio Singh belonged to was one of the most popular guilds in India.
If it was the Asura Guild, it might have known information that the Scavenger Guild didn't know.
"I need information."
"…information? What information?"
"Information about dungeons."
Suho asked Rio Singh, who was watching him with a nervous expression
"Do you know about the Glacier Dungeon?"
"Glacier? What's that?"
It must have been a difficult word for Rio Singh.
Rio Singh quickly turned on the translator to find out the meaning, and his expression brightened.
"Ah Glacier Dungeon! I know where that is!"
"You know? really?"
Suho's eyes widened.
I've been asking, but I'm sure you know!
[Kieek!]
Beru was also surprised and grabbed Rio Singh by the collar and yelled at him
Even though those two arms were finger-thick, their momentum was brutal.
[You better be telling the truth! If you're lying, I will tear you limb from limb]
"Kekeke. I really do know where it is! Asura Guild! Asura has a lot of information!"
It was Rio Sing, who, even in the midst of embarrassment, was well-informed about promoting the guild.
It was not an exaggeration. The Asura Guild has got quite good information.
In the first place, the scavenger guild was only weak in information compared to its size.
It was normal for most guilds to make an effort to build their own database by buying and selling each other's information.
And the scavenger was also planning to change its policy to further strengthen its information power with this incident as an opportunity.
At the unexpected income, Suho said that he was doing well and his eyes lit up.
"You said you knew where it is right? So can you tell me everything you know about the Glacier Dungeon? And don't leave a single detail behind."
"Yes! Why are you going there?"
"I decided to enter that dungeon sooner or later with Thomas Andre."
"What?!"
At those words, Rio Singh trembled as if struck by lightning.
What did I hear just now?
Where are you going with Thomas Andre? In Glacier Dungeon?
"No! It's very dangerous! Everyone who has gone there has died!"
"I have to go even if it is dangerous. My mother might be in that dungeon."
flinch.
Rio Singh's expression hardened at Suho's determined words.
"Uh, why is your mother there?"
"Anyway, yes."
'It's not exactly my mother, but my mother's clue.'
Suho explained it in a condensed way so that he could understand it as much as possible, and unintentionally, the words were more persuasive.
Rio Singh shook his head with a serious expression.
It was difficult to judge the situation because there was so much information coming in at once.
'Sung Suho's mother is in the Glacier Dungeon? It is a dungeon known only to a small number of guilds and yet…'
It seems that the preliminary research on Seongsu Lake was insufficient.
I never thought Seong Soo-ho's mother was also a hunter.
Is that a level hunter to enter the glacier dungeon?
'No, more important than that…'
The problem was the name Thomas Andre that came out of Suho's mouth.
Why is Suho going to enter the dungeon with Thomas Andre?
'…for a moment. Could it be that the purpose of his visit to Sung Soo-ho was not for revenge, but for recruiting?!'
I suddenly woke up.
Feeling giddy, Rio Singh hurriedly turned his gaze around to see the devastated landscape around him.
Looking back at the traces that Suho and Thomas Andre created while clashing, it was impressive.
And I realized
'…Now I know.'
If Thomas Andre had put all his strength into it, it couldn't have ended just like this.
'The interview was held here! It was a test of Seongsuho's strength!'
What kind of interview is so lousy?
That was understandable enough when I recalled Thomas Andre's usual personality.
Feeling like he was cut in the line by a hair's breadth, Rio Singh felt desperate.
'Couldn't you have already signed a contract? It doesn't seem like it if you look closely.'
He swallowed dry saliva and asked Suho directly.
"Has Sung Suho joined the Scavenger Guild?"
"No. Why?"
"No?"
Rio Singh's expression suddenly brightened.
And with a determined expression, he banged his chest.
"I know! I'll tell you about the Glacier Dungeon!"
Suho's eyes widened at the difficult answer.
'done!'
I was lucky.
Information about dungeons is more precious than a thousand gold.
In particular, information on places that are still unknown, such as the Glacier Dungeon, is difficult to convert.
Even from Rio Sing's point of view, it was a sensitive matter that could directly or indirectly cause economic damage to the guild if leaked.
But now wasn't the time for Rio Singh to slow down.
'We can't have this kind of talent stolen from another guild right in front of our eyes!'
He quickly checked to see if there were any other hearing ears around.
Confidently, he started listing the information he knew to Suho one by one.
"It is very cold there. Breathing, eating, sleeping, walking are all dangerous."
"It's a glacier, so it's natural. Anything else?"
"It is really very cold. It's too cold, so the action slows down. Debuff area!"
"Debuff area?"
[Small lord, it seems that the place is cursed with slowness in a wide range.]
This information was so important that even Ber intervened.
It's not simply a matter of the weather, but a dungeon with a curse that has a direct adverse effect during battle.
but.
'It doesn't matter to me'
Fortunately, Suho was immune to all curses thanks to 'Kandiaru's Blessing'.
However, this was only a blessing for the guardian individual and would be a definite risk factor for other hunters who would move together as a group.
"Okay. Anything else?"
"Mmm."
When Suho nodded and asked again, Rio Singh hesitated for a moment.
Because this is really important information.
"This is a secret. promise?"
"huh. promise. What are you so lazy about?"
"There are Ice Elves in the Glacier Dungeon. A lot of them"
"what? Ice elf?"
A strangeness appeared in Suho's eyes.
If you were an ice elf, it was a rare beast that was rarely seen in dungeons.
However, the information Rio Singh gave me was very different from the ice elves' habits listed on HunterNet.
"Don't ice elves usually go in pairs? And don't they use bows from a distance?"
"Right! However, the ice elves in the Glacier Dungeon are different."
In response to Suho's question, Rio Singh spoke clearly, using a translator to avoid any misunderstanding.
"There is a tribe of ice elves living there. At least hundreds of known numbers."
"Hundreds?"
This was the advanced information the Asura Guild had.
"huh. Glacier Dungeon is the country of ice elves."
* * *
Meanwhile.
Even at this moment, the Hunters who recklessly set foot in the Glacier Dungeon were being pursued helplessly.
"Huh! Huh!"
pure white snow.
Shush shush shush shush!
Arrows rained down on the cold wind that would freeze even your breath. The
arrows
pouring down from all directions were relentlessly aiming for their lives.
Puppy pew!
"Keep!"
"My leg…!"
Dozens of arrows were stuck in their backs and legs as they fled.
However, the expressions of the hunters crawling on the floor, saying that they would try to survive somehow, were full of desperation.
"Hey. Those tenacious b*stards…!"
"They intend to kill us by drying us out!"
There was no hope here anymore.
Never thought that they, who were hunters, would fall into a miserable prey…!
And there were hundreds of hunters who were indifferently looking down at them from a high place in despair.
ice elf.
They aimed their bows at the strangers who invaded this land with cold eyes.
hundreds of bows.
A rain of arrows pouring down from there.
"Nonsense! Ice elves swarm!"
"If I had known this place was like this, I would never have entered!"
The ice elves known to the public were 'relatively docile' monsters that were found with very rare probability.
They always had a habit of sticking together, always carrying a crude bow and arrow made of wood in their hands.
Strangely, however, they were so-called 'non-professional mobs' who never attacked until someone approached them first.
Even the moment the hunters attack the dungeon and the gate closes.
They just silently hid themselves in the depths of a faraway dungeon and watched the hunters quietly.
That's why the nickname given to them was…
[The Watcher]
…'the one who watches'.
However, the hunters who rushed to hunt them even once never called them by that name.
ice elf.
They thought they were docile, but the moment someone turned them against them.
He turned into a brutal marksman who hunted enemies with unusual movements.
Contrary to their beautiful appearance, they are actually very cruel and warlike ice elves.
So another nickname was born….
Baekgwi (白鬼)
It meant an elusive white ghost.
However, despite this, 'Baekgwi' still belonged to a safe beast.
Their archery skills were excellent, but at most they traveled in pairs, so their numbers weren't threatening.
Most of all, because it was a non-linear mob.
But that information has now lost its value.
At least here in the Glacier Dungeon.
A land where hundreds of sharpshooters live together.
Even if you knew this information in advance and prepared for it, would you have survived safely?
"Aww! Do not come! Don't come!"
A man hurriedly crawling across the floor with arrows stuck in his legs and back.
Turbuck.
A cold shadow fell over his face, pale with fear.
"You are the last."
The man looked up in fear at the ice elf who approached and spoke to him.
Because he had already shed too much blood, he could barely see his opponent through his blurry vision.
Silver eyes with gray hair and fair skin.
and pointy ears.
By human standards, she was a small and young girl who looked only about 10 years old.
"You stranger who invaded our land. I am Shirka, the guardian of the Baruka tribe."
An ice elf girl wearing a furry cap proudly introduced herself with cold eyes like frost.
But even after hearing that, there was no response from the man.
It was natural.
Because there was no way humans could understand the demon's language.
However, Shirka continued her words as if it was okay.
"I will ask only one question. If you want to live, you will have to answer well."
Sirka took a short deep breath and asked him a question clearly.
"Do you know the Shadow Lord?"
"What the hell are you talking about!"
Seeing the girl speaking to him in an unknown language, the dying man cried out in anger.
"I ask you one last time. Do you know 'Sung Jin-Woo'?"
"Just f*cking kill me! Kill me!"
"If you don't know, die."
Chew!
