Chapter 85 Incheon, Macye, Black Market-6
Lee Hyun-wook confirmed the system message that appeared before his eyes with the appearance of the Dwarf.
[Hidden Search]
-Meet with Explorer Dimension-1
You have met with 'Dwarf Nomads ' from Dimension Rift.
He had just taken his first step into the foreign world and was in a state of absence. If you help him, unexpected rewards will come.
*' Prerequisites ' are needed to continue this mission.
'Required prerequisites ... ... This is the beginning of some big searches. '
This type of search is called 'search search '. The system does not present clear goals, but goals and rewards change according to the relationship with the smart NPC.
In other words, depending on how you lead the situation, the contents of the quest vary.
Lee Hyun-wook saw Dwarf's ship. It was a small size that seemed only about 3m in total length, but it looked as if parts of an abandoned car were soldered into one.
And there are many large burnt marks on its surface that have been bitten by a kind of wild animal.
" ... Damn it! there! Can you help me open this door? Hah?"
In it, an NPC named "Dwarf Wanderer" shouted thus.
He was less strong or could not open a crooked and gaint door.
However, despite serious requests, the party cannot do this or that.
"Me, that ... Is that a monster?"
Jin Hwa Ko asked so. Others feel the same way as him.
At present, the reaction is reasonable because there are not many NPCs that are friendly to humans.
Lee Hyun-wook shrugged and approached him.
"Well, it doesn't seem like it's a threat to anything. "
"Wait a minute! Well, monsters with intelligence like that come from the Black Orc race or Red Drake ...."
He muttered behind, but that meant both races were very dangerous.
In other words, it makes sense that it can also be dangerous.
"Don't worry, you can blow up door yourself if an emergency occurs. "
Lee Hyun-wook reached out his left hand and applied "metal transformation " to the sloping part of antique ship.
Clasp –!
Then the dwarf bounced, tearing the antique brown door until it was torn.
He rolled hard on the ground floor, then could barely sit.
"Oh, alright, alright!"
Lee Hyun-wook saw the dwarf's appearance.
Height of about 130cm, thick body, large round nose, gray beard, white tattoo on the face...
'In terms of appearance, it is Gray Mountain Dwarf, or abbreviated as Gray Dwarf.'
Just as there are no one or two types of Orcs that we have seen so far, Dwarves also have a variety of species.
'And they are a tribe with special expertise in architecture and shipbuilding. '
They like to make things bigger than other races and are proud of them.
However, the Gray Dwarves became helpers on the part of criminals.
'The representative of the Gray Dwarves is the Taesan Guild ... ... Was it originally like this? '
A rough picture is taken of what kind of situation experienced by a previous life.
'After they defeated Swallow, they accepted the mission and swallowed the entire tribe.'
After that, the Gray Dwarves produced various super-sized weapons at the request of criminals ...
'It was truly a terrible weapon of mass destruction one by one. '
And one of them is 〈Sudasarshan〉 which is installed in Laputa.
The canon, which blew up an allied water fleet that had surrounded Laputa with one blow, was the work of the Gray Mountain Dwarves, and the "Super-Gaint Sentinel Gate could also be completed with their help.
However, because the Gray Mountain tribe is not an evil race, after knowing the reality of how the weapons they make are used, they make the decision to stop exchanging with criminals.
Of course, criminals cannot let these useful assets leave them.
'He was slaughtered by dropping meteor magic into the Gray Dwarves settlement. '
It is a tribe that will go through a sad history, but now it will be different from the first button.
"Who- I don't know how he opened that door, but he is a friend with mysterious powers! "
Dwarf Wanderer approached Lee Hyun-wook, speaking very boldly.
"I am Soyler Wirebeard. What is your name? "
"I'm Lee Hyun Wook."
Lee Hyun-wook deliberately expressed respect by writing words of respect.
The Dwarf race is on the side of pride that is quiet, but close to arrogance.
In other words, it is good not to waste respect and praise when life is pleasing.
And when I heard his name, 'the information ' that appeared in my eyes was updated.
-Dwarf Wanderer Soiler Wirebeard (LV:49)
* This NPC 'neutral' towards you.
After a few conversations like this, it seems like he is recognized as "NPC" and not "monster".
But that was then.
"Lee, Sergeant Hyun-wook Lee! Look there! "
Park Joon-mo screamed like that and pointed somewhere.
Ooh ooh ooh!
Cracks in the dimension where Soiler's ship arises, the place sways as if it will explode.
Then Soiler's mouth opened.
"Awful! Look at my mind! Forgot to close the dimensional door! "
Soiler shouted and ran towards his own ship.
He realized a strange sensation and seemed to be trying to do something ...
Hung ——
late.
Something came out of that gap.
Kaah ah——!
that ... ... That is a very large crow.
It slides, hits it, and stops with claws on the floor.
Kaah ah——!
Next, he widened his wings with a screaming castle, and the length of the wing seemed to be more than twenty meters.
"Well, what is that!"
And four red eyes glowed and stared towards the party.
Four-eyed Crow from the Gray Mountains (LV:61)
That is not the end.
Then, two more appeared, and a total of three people stood side by side.
These monsters seem to be pursuing Soiler's ship.
That's when the identity of the toenails in antique ship was revealed.
KRAKT ——!
The three monsters approached by threatening and destroying stones as they scratched the floor with their claws.
"Uh, uh ..."
"Everyone, what are you doing! Get ready to fight! "
Level 61 is an opponent who can face level B players. In other words, for them, because no tanker among us at this time, if they make a mistake, they could die instantly when they get touched by the claws.
"Everyone, don't move. It will be faster than you think. "
Lee Hyun-wook reached out to the Red Hall players and calmed them down, then looked at Park Jun-mo.
"Park Jun-mo ..."
He swayed in his grasp.
"-Shoot!"
On the orders of Lee Hyun-wook, an electric current came out of his hand.
Pa—ji—ji—ji—!
And the whole body of the giant monster was electrocuted, as if wrapping it in blue thread.
"Wow!"
"Wait a minute! "
Park Jun-mo's lightning attack wasn't enough to knockout level 57 monsters.
But that is enough to tie them up,
Meanwhile, a pale tone ejected from Lee Hyun-wook's waist dance.
Nyentang— Nyentang— Nyentak—!
Lee Hyun-wook was the first to penetrate their wings and they lose their mobility. This is because if you aim your head blindly from the start, you can damage your allies with the unique mobility of these flying monsters.
Ka-aa—
They survived an electric current attack and tried to fly, but their wings drooped.
'Okay, now I can aim precisely. '
Immediately, the metal pole turned and stabbed his eyes, one after another, from his head.
Buk— Buk— Buk—
That is all.
"What the ....., what just happened ...."
Red Hall players, including Ko Jin-hwa, looked at Lee Hyun-wook with a blank expression. It was a monster at a level they could not handle, but it was too easy to defeat.
Jin-Hwa Ko admires him again.
'This person, is there anything he really can't do? '
Face to face with monsters like this is a different thing from demonstrating 'the power of weapons '.
" ... ... Hey, look at my mind!"
At that time, Soiler left the process with the remote control and pressed a button.
Wow, woo ...
Then the "crack " quickly disappears and then disappears completely.
"Huh... automatically closes, but I forgot that I was being chased ... "
He wiped the sweat on his forehead with his fingers.
"By the way, that wasn't a normal skill either! I was chased by them day and night, and it was very easy to finish! Hahaha! I'm very lucky to meet you for the first time in this strange land! "
At that time, there was a change in 'the relationship ' with Soiler.
-Dwarf Wanderer Soiler Wirebeard (LV:49)
* This NPC 'positive' towards you.
Perhaps because of the battle, he changed from "neutral" to "positive".
'if so ... ... The appearance of the monsters was also part of this event. '
Because this phenomenon is a game, there will be a kind of 'script ' for each event.
Probably not seeing the monsters and running away from them, but winning them, so accepting "trust " Soiler has a positive effect on the course of this search — goals and rewards.
In other words, it can be said that the reward that can be obtained increases.
"Soiler, what are you doing in this world? If I can help, I'll help. "
Lee Hyun-wook took a initiative and asked deliberately and very friendly.
"Uh, what? No, I don't have enough money on me, so I'm willing to help you, right? "
"Yes, of course. Isn't the relationship we encounter like this? "
Then Soiler trembled with his cheeks as if impressed.
'In past lives, when these people appeared, the whole earth was very careful and overcame it. '
I have to do that.
In fact, creatures like monsters storm in and ask for land to live in. Who will treat it warmly? So, at first, the majority of opinions rejected the dwarves.
'However, in the end, the country inhabited by dwarves achieved remarkable technological progress. '
In other words, Lee Hyun-wook quickly took advantage of this extraordinary opportunity.
"Huh, this is true, to be honest the situation I'm facing, this is really complicated because I don't have to horses around ... "
"It's OK. Speak slowly. "
Since then, Soiler's story has become very complicated.
To summarize the story,
Their world is on the verge of collapse for a reason, so they are planning a massive migration to another world, and they are tasked with exploring settlements from another level.
After he finished speaking, he wandered and confessed a word he secretly kept.
"I ... so I mean, that ... can our tribe settle in your world? "
And when you hear that far —
[Hidden Search]
-Meet with Explorer Dimension-2
Soiler, Dwarf Wanderer, is looking for a new home for his race.
And I will entrust you with a big deal with the fate of this race.
The rewards will be much greater because Soiler sees you as friendly,
'Additional compensation ' will be paid according to 'satisfaction ' completion.
* Prizes: Differential payments will be made according to performance.
Like this, 'quest' another 'quest' is linked to the next step through dialogue with the NPC.
Lee Hyun-wook reached out to Soiler, who was waiting for an answer while stretching.
"Soiler, you don't need to worry about the settlement. There is a very nice place. "
"Huh-is that true?"
"Yes, I'll introduce you soon. "
"No! How things can be so difficult! "
With that, Soiler shakes Lee Hyun-wook's hand as if it was running.
Yes, there is one place like that.
And it is also a very rich place for dwarfs to get their jobs.
***
"Oh...is this an huge thing made with gnome technology!"
Soiler could not hide his admiration when he climbed Friedwen.
"Yes, maybe."
"Oh-oh-oh-Where did you get this? May I see it? "
"Of course, but don't touch anything. "
If it is a Dwarf, it is clear that he will touch something with curiosity causingsome mishap.
However, because there might be a problem, Lee Hyun-wook asked for special carefulness.
"Huh- this guy is a really cool guy among gnome works!"
Gnomes are often known as races that mentiones dwarves.
However, when I asked the dwarfs, they answered that they had never seen it among dwarf.
They also discovered the ruins of the gnomes and studied the latest technology.
After a while, when Friedwen arrived near the village of Redhall, there was loud cheers from everywhere.
Wow–!
In the town square, more than a thousand residents came out and waved.
They praised Lee Hyun-wook's name and shouted gratitude.
Lee Hyun-wook landed Friedwen nearby, and soon Joon-cheol Ko approached.
"I made sure that Swallow would eradicated, but you would continue everything as you said, right? "
"Yes, that will definitely happen."
When he heard that, Ko Jun-cheol smiled. Then he took Lee Hyun-wook's hand.
"Lee Hyun-wook, you really ... are the saviors of Red Hall ...."
It was the moment when he first showed his feelings.
And after a while, Lee Hyun-wook was sitting at Go Jun-cheol's house. After handling Swallow as promised, it's time to discuss compensation, but there are a few more things that need to be discussed.
"Well, Dwarves ...."
First of all, Dwarfs and Soiler decided to stay here for a while.
And after the situation was resolved to some extent, I thought of bringing them to Laputa.
"Yes, I've heard news like that recently, but will they appear here? "
If things changes like this, it seems like other Dwarfs have appeared in other areas.
'Besides, I'm not the first person they meet. '
This is one of the major events held during this period.
But in the beginning, most of them acted exclusively,
Lee Hyun-wook, more than anyone, will get the benefits of this event.
"And one more thing. You may have seen several rock mountains collapse some time ago. "
"Yes, did you not find a dwarf there? "
"It's not just the Dwarf I found there. I found something very valuable. "
Hearing Lee Hyun-wook's words, Lee Chae looked into Go Jun-cheol's eyes.
" ... ... I found my Adamant."
"Oh, my firm ... is that correct? "
In the news, even Ko Jun-cheol, who had undergone all prenatal care, seemed very happy.
I don't know how much reserves there are, but that means I've dug up a lot of money.
"By the way, you know that the discovery of the Adamant mine is also in my hands. "
"No, that is an undeniable fact ... You will get the prize you deserve. "
It was an explicit compensation request, but Ko Jun-cheol preferred this attitude.
'Yes, accepting it is legitimate without reducing what you will receive. '
Go Jun-cheol thinks that humans who act without prices will be left behind.
Because I have never seen one or two humans like that in my life, I can be sure.
Therefore, it is clear that it comes and goes, and I prefer trust that accumulates over a repetitive process.
In this case, a man named Lee Hyun-wook has many angles that I really like in many ways ... ...
By the way ... ... I was surprised by Lee Hyun-wook's words afterwards.
"Give me exclusive rights to develop and distribute Adamant mines. "
After hearing that, Go Jun-cheol could not answer for about ten seconds.
" ..."
That must be an excessive request.
"You don't need to worry about that. Adamant will pay for it. "
But its value is not the problem.
That is the power to be able to determine the use of Adamantra with enormous resources. This could be a kind of resource diplomacy, but asking for the right to do it ... ...
"Hmm ... it's thanks to you, but you know that it's a very big request, right? "
At that time, Lee Hyun-wook took one more card.
"Yes, instead I will help the villagers to get down to the ground. "
As a result, Go Jun-cheol's eyebrows wrinkled.
"Isn't this a safe place? It's not because I don't want it, and I'll help. Children born in Red Hall will once again become Korean citizens and live with their legal rights. "
Lee Hyun-wook smiled brightly.
' ... Did you catch it in the shortest time we wanted? '
From the start, Lee Hyun-wook seemed to have understood what Red Hall wanted.
And that is not the end of the Lee Hyun-wook card.
"And we will prepare a place for residents of the Red Hall in Laputa."
"...Well?"
"Just bringing them into madness does not mean there will be security or a way to live. But ... it will be different for Laputa. "
At that moment, Go Jun-cheol became unreasonable and laughed. That's not a mockery. This is because the "agreement " the man is too heavy, and he feels his heart rests in just a few words.
"Do you really have a lot and you use it very scary? "
In other words, it continues to attack and enter in ways that you cannot refuse.
'Yes, this is an unstable world. I cannot stay here forever. I have to go up. '
Besides, this is not just another place, but the right to move to the magical engineering city that hovers in the sky of Seoul ...
"Ha- really ... ... I can't stand ... ... "
"Then, can I think you will accept my offer? "
Go Jun-cheol nodded.
What is important for him now is the future of village children, not money or power.
"Okay, may I swallow this whole of mine and ask what you are going to do? It's not just about making money, it seems like this has a bigger goal ... Can you give a few tips to the people on your ship? As a paying passenger, do you need to know where this ship is headed? "
"Yes, it's simple."
Lee Hyun-wook took the iron bead from his hand.
And through 'metal transformation ', he managed to reach a sharp point.
" ... I will make a weapon. "
"Oh, that's a weapon ...."
"You know, my ability is to manipulate steel. "
And Adamant is the most powerful steel-metal.
Go Jun-cheol has just seen part of 'Rain of Steel ', which only hears rumors.
However, they are all weapons made from normal metals.
'Ha- It's a steel castle made from Adamant ... ... a decent tanker won't have the skills to survive it's attacks. '
He realized that the S-class player sitting in front of him was only included in the "beginner" category.
"And because you are class S, will you raise that level in a certain way? "
"Yes that's right. "
In other words, this country will continue to be strong in the future. ... .
And almost all objects in this world are made of metal.
Anyone who can shake, knead, and destroy it at will ... ...
'Maybe my words are very lucky because this man came. '
***
Lee Hyun-wook was promised "proof " from Go Jun-cheol which could blow up the Taesan guild.
It takes time to gather and arrange evidence, but ... ...
' ... ... In other words, this means a matter of time. '
And before leaving the black market, I asked for one more request.
Perhaps, unknown items dropped from various places —' Ancient Underground Kingdom Coins ' were asked to be collected as much as possible.
'It is considered a japtem that has no present value, but after the appearance of the dwarves, its value will increase significantly. '
That's because it is one of the most valuable currencies in the Dwarves world.
Often speaking, it is 'coin' on a coin.
And the residents of the first Red Hall work besides Yeo Min-sang for "Laputa full-time work ".
Lee Hyun-wook was on his way to Hope Guild with Park Jun-mo, and a phone call came.
-Hey, mister rain! Truly extraordinary!
That is Kang Hee-seol.
"Huh?"
-Well, that's because we just finished one thing? But that's wow— Great!
No, what makes you fuss ... ... I look forward to it.
-You have a robot that you brought before, right?
"Ah, you mean the ruins guard? "
-Yes, what is that!
"Bronze Guard (Alpha) " from the Gnome A3 Ruins are turned off and taken to Kang Jeong-du.
Maybe I'm doing research based on that, but it seems like this time I managed to do something.
-Well, my grandfather made a shotgun with crystals embedded in the robot's shoulder!
'Well, if it's crystal ... '
Lee Hyun-wook remembers. The scene where a fire erupted from a giant shoulder as high as 4m, melting all the living armor ... ... But with that, he said he made a personal weapon, "rifle ".
'Wait a minute, make a shotgun with it? Is that possible? '
-And I wrote "hammer" it was on it ... ... There are amazing skills!
Hammer, here the hammer seems to mean the hammer 'Hephaestus'.
In other words, he seems to have witnessed the true nature of the potential object.
– What hammer is that! Give me one too! Yes-?
So, as if a masterpiece was born.
Lee Hyun-wook went straight to Kang Jeong-du's workshop.
