Chapter 97 Fear of War, Preparation of War-2
Looking at the ruins of the gnomes, you can see that the secrets of ancient races also enjoy gambling.
Not a few elements of the objects they produce are random ".
Like "random food boxes " in Laputa warehouses or "random water taps " in some bathrooms,
Depending on the possibilities, it is a format that allows you to feel the excitement of going back and forth between 'jackpot' and 'pumpkin'.
'And 〈Gnome Subspace Vending Machines 〉 this is the object of its representation. '
If you insert a coin called 〈Ancient Underground Kingdom Coins 〉 into it and turn the lever, one of the many "material objects " in the outer dimension subspace will fall randomly.
'By the way, no matter how many races of engineers, you enjoy Gacha, whose prizes are material goods, such as national games ... ... They are really perverted. '
But the truth is ... ... it was Lee Hyun-wook who enjoyed the tastes of the pervert dwarves more than anyone else. He tried more 'images ' than most blacksmiths or alchemists.
I don't like gambling, but I can't help it because it's the only window where I can get rare and valuable metals that can't be obtained no matter how much money I have.
Bampara—Bam— Bam— Bam—!
... ... same as now.
'What, excitement from the start ... ... .'
Shortly thereafter, the object vibrated — something fell into the bottom merchandise outlet with a loud noise. it ... ... It is a product that is packaged in a round capsule.
Lee Hyun-wook turned it over and opened it, and the dwarves who watched from the side saw the identity of the contents and ran scared.
"Hah— that, that's —!"
"Do it, do it, my God ... ... That is the heart of the stars! "
-Obtaining 'Pieces of Magnet Crust '.
Neutron stars are born when all the stars are on fire, and the most powerful of them is "Magnetar", and this object seems to take the motif of the astronomical phenomenon. Of course, the "attribute " will actually be very different.
Uh–!
If it is a neutron star, Magneta, it will destroy everything in the whole area into an atomic unit by exhaling a strong magnetic field like a whip, but it emits a solid "mana " like a madman.
Lee Hyun-wook felt which flow and was amazed.
' ... ... Which is almost unlimited. '
Well, technically, a large number of which condensed strongly, and that is a limited entity that will disappear after releasing everything.
But the sun will also be extinguished someday, but from a human perspective, isn't that actually "unlimited energy "? This is the same concept.
'As far as I know, there will be a small number of these in the core 〈Dwarf-Made Mountain Machine 〉 which I swallowed in the 4th wave.'
In other words, this little ore alone is enough to make five or six extraordinary machines.
It is also an object dubbed "star heart ".
"Well, that! That, I don't think you have anything to write ... "
The dwarves swarmed and swallowed it. They looked like a group of puppies peering into the owner's table.
"No, I'll eat ... No, I'll use it."
Then the dwarfs were very blatant and disappointed.
"no ... ... I'm not ignoring you, but those rare ingredients must be handled by real exhaust experts! Isn't that just us? "
"Yes, if you leave it to us, you can make it a really cool thing. What if you trust us? "
"Oh, or I'll just sell it to us! I don't have anything right now, but I'll pay it even if I work my whole life ...."
Lee Hyun-wook avoided the short, thick hand and raised "pieces of magneta crust " at breast height.
"Sorry, but I can't."
Then a shadow fell on their face.
If it is another metal, I will invest in the metal to increase their liking, but I will never be able to give it. When Lee Hyun-wook put it in his pocket, the eyes of the Dwarves looked sorry.
"Okay, it's still too early to be disappointed. There are still many coins. If there's a good item, I'll trust you. "
When Lee Hyun-wook lifted the plastic bag, 140 coins made a jagged sound inside.
Then, the faces of the dwarves turned red.
"Oh yes! It was a super night from the start, so it was very exciting! "
I then added a few more series, but the hubbub was not heard.
'Well, this is also quite rare ... ... '
This is true, and cunning humans, legendary metals such as Mithril, Adamant, Orihalkon, and Cheoncheol have not fulfilled their spirituality.
I got something very valuable from the start, so gambling tastes declined slightly.
Lee Hyun-wook stopped drawing when there were 100 coins left.
"How, do you want to accept this? "
Lee Hyun-wook distributed 7 Adamants to the Dwarves.
"Oh! Is it true? Isn't Adamant a pretty expensive man? "
"Can't you make expensive items more valuable? "
"Hahaha! Really! Should we show our expertise after all this time? "
Therefore, they seem to feel happy dealing with the minerals themselves rather than their possessive desires.
In other words, no matter how much you are spoiled, you don't need to feel guilty.
'Okay, to spoil you well in the future, you have to make me feel better. ... .'
Meanwhile, staff 〈New City Planning Department 〉, including team leader Lee Gyo-jun, led the dwarves to "upper city center " where they lived.
Many residential-commercial buildings line up there, and according to preliminary surveys, mentioned as many as 1,456 KK can occupy them.
There, the first occupant entered.
"Then, we will interview these dwarves and find out their personal information, then we will divide the roles according to their character and abilities. "
Team Leader Lee Kyo-jun said as he approached.
"Yes, I'm sorry, but I will appreciate if you take care of it. It's hard for me to pay attention to that part. "
That is why large numbers of "employees are needed, and now, to some extent, foundations have been established.
In other words, even if he wasn't there, the staff would share their role and run a large facility called Laputa.
Shortly after, Lee Hyun-wook returned to the order tower.
And immediately swallow 〈Magneta Crust Piece〉.
gulp-
-Until metal uptake (unknown time) still remains.
'Also ... ... I have to rest long enough to digest this ... ... .'
However, there is still one job to be done.
"Talos, are you listening to me? "
-Yes sir! Do you need anything?
Shortly thereafter, Talos's voice was heard in my ear. In this way, AI and Talos can be called at any time, anywhere in Laputa.
"Now, is there a place to store items from other races? "
A few days ago, the Kingdom of the Black Orc declared war on Korea and explained the reason, saying that the relics of "their ancestors " were in Laputa. And to get it back, he will attack Korea.
'First, we need to check if there is such a thing. '
Laputa is so broad that it is still full of unknowns.
"Ah ... ... Maybe you're talking about 〈War History Exhibition Room 〉."
"Yes, where is it? "
"Yes, it's on the B43 floor of the research area below."
Lee Hyun-wook was guided by Talos and went there.
Most of Laputa's floors are still unopened and left unchecked. The same thing happened on the B43 floor. Naturally, if there were no humans at all, but the atmosphere was dark as if it were on an abandoned spaceship.
Shortly thereafter, I faced a museum-like room in the middle of the B43 floor.
When Lee Hyun-wook entered, the crystal tiles on the ceiling lit up.
Uh–
The room that turned out to be like that was clean white and quite spacious.
"Well... Talos, is this the museum? "
"Yes that's right! Gnomes have fought many wars in history, and the loot they get every time is kept here.
"So, you mean, have you saved the booty? "
"Haha—not necessarily so, and there must be tribute!"
However, it looks more like an exhibition space than a museum. Some objects are hung in clear glass, but there is no explanation about the object. Shouldn't the museum always convey relevant information?
'By the way, this ... ... Everything is pretty good.'
The whole room is lined with items with the lowest hero level. And among them, what Lee Hyun-wook saw varied.
'Wait a minute, this ... ... Isn't that 〈Bloodeddon〉?"
It was a long bow with a deep red color.
Do you know? "
Aldada, a race relic called Dark Elf, high warlord Dark Elf shot him and crashed into the super ship 〈Gate Sentinel 〉.
In other words, it is a tactical weapon, which means it is a scary bow.
'Is this what was originally here? '
Dark Elf, ruler of the 3rd wave area ... ... Maybe it's an unknown race.
Today, the eroded Berlin region is only known as a green hell filled with cannibals.
However, it turned out that the Dark Elf military force was developing underground, and that was a secret known only to some interested parties in Germany.
'Yes, did the criminals hand this over to the Dark Elves? '
In their previous lives, they had Laputa, so it seemed like they had made some kind of agreement with the power of the monster.
And, perhaps, as a result of the agreement, it seems that the elves, who remain neutral, stand on the side of criminals and enter the battle of European conquest.
'That is, the opportunity came to me to some extent. '
Next, Lee Hyun-wook faced a giant ax.
It was very big, the total length seemed to be enough.
' ... Here it is.'
The legacy of the ancestors of the Black Orc, it is clear what it means.
Lee Hyun-wook put his hand on transparent film glass.
-This item is currently in a sealed state '.
* Special conditions are needed to release the seal.
"Well ... Talos, is this something you can't get out now? "
"Right. Because it is a very valuable item, the gnome that designs this space has a fairly complicated locking mechanism. "
" ... what is that? "
"For each item, there is a 'soul stone ' which can be obtained from the body 'leader ' race concerned. That is the key. However, all the stones of the soul that the dwarves won in the past were lost when Laputa was defeated. " was attacked by unknown enemies and the 5th faction escaped.
"Really, this is a bad edition ..."
「 ... ... Great, but, every time a new leader is elected for each race, a soul stone will be made in the leader's body, so you can get it again! 」
In an explanation like that, Lee Hyun-wook laughed.
' ... ... Isn't that too interesting arrangement? '
So, to take out this powerful item, that means you have to steal "soul stone " by attacking the monster boss — the head of each race that appears after the wave.
If not, like a criminal in a previous life, instead of giving up this, you can get paid ... ... It was designed to take any route.
" ... Well, I have to think about it later. "
Even with that race, he will face it in the near future.
And then, this will be a powerful negotiation card.
***
Lee Hyun-wook handed over his work to 'employee ' and rested. To be precise, body spraying is operated to its maximum value — all attempts are devoted to absorption.
However, after two full days, there were no signs of absorption, and the pain recurred like the body was orphaned.
-Until metal uptake (unknown time) still remains.
Well ... ... It took days to absorb 〈Dwarf Large Mountain Machines 〉, which numbered several times more than that.
' ... ... You don't have to be like this for a week, right? '
Anyway after this period, satisfactory results come out.
"I only last a little more. "
Meanwhile, various news entered.
First of all, the Black Orc Kingdom still does not have an unusual trend. It was monitored by military satellites for 24 hours, but troop movements were not identified.
And the 〈Hongdo〉 Chinese union, which claims to have managerial authority in Laputa, is constantly pressuring the Korean government.
-Sisi Hongdo China, South Korea illegally occupied Laputa.
- Chinese public opinion is filled with anger, "Laputa belongs to China! "
However, government decision makers such as Woo Sung-moon have decided to stick to the "ban on feeding fools ", so they don't respond to anything.
Then, inevitably, opinion-opinions emerged as to whether the Korean government did not respond at all because it was not proud ...
Shortly thereafter, a video of several large transport aircraft marked 〈ROKAMT〉 entering the Laputa dome — barrier was released.
This indirectly proves Laputa's administrative authority.
'Yes, it's better to prove quietly than to be hit hard. '
Then, international public opinion turned sharply.
Silent evidence from the Korean government ... ... Is this a Chinese guild fraud?
-Now it's Hongdo's turn 'to prove, world attention!
If not, because China has a bad image in the international world, this time it is starting to be considered a strong argument.
But that night ... ... I got a call from team leader Gyo-jun Lee.
-... ... the Hongdo Guild has made an unknown request again.
Anxiety smeared in his voice.
"Yes?"
-Well, what they actually have is they mention the name of a very specific item as 〈Additional Key to Ancient Heritage 〉. So, he said he accepted the mission to become 'servant ' Laputa, and he asked them to meet him because they could be very helpful in using Laputa.
At that time, Lee Hyun-wook could not be consistent with ignorance. If you name an item that starts with 'ancient heritage ', it's not just bluffing, it means you really hold something.
And the extra key, at that moment, memories of Lee Hyun-wook came to mind.
'I guess I should call them to Korea ... ... .'
He turned off the furnace in his body.
***
36 hours later, Incheon International Airport Arrival Hall,
click! click! click! click!
Three players from the guild 〈Hongdo〉 China stand in the line of photos.
Those who have insisted on Laputa's managerial authority over the past few days set foot on Korean soil. There was even an invitation from the Korean government.
In this regard, the world once again doubts whether the Korean government, without Laputa administrative authority, is trying to negotiate with the Hongdo Alliance.
Therefore, the Korean government agreed by saying, "This invitation was not a meeting for that purpose, " and the Hongdo Guild did not comment.
"The reason you came to Korea today might have something to do with Laputa! Do you still claim Laputa administrator rights? "
And for reporter questions —
" ... ... After today, there will be good news. "
I just answered vaguely.
After getting into the car they prepared, they installed magic "silent ".
"Woah, crazy ... Hey, is the killer here? "
That is Hongdo's deputy master, Sao-jun. He is the 21st killer player in the ranking of Chinese players, and he is known as a key holder with "Laputa Administrator Rights ".
"Yes, I'm waiting for 'calling ' in the south of the country. "
And the person who answers like this ... ... That's not human.
"Are you as thorough as the person who killed our uncle? "
When Xiaojun said so, he felt tension.
" ... Human, noisy."
Strangely, it was a Black Orc shaman who turned into a human.
'No, what do these children say, word for word, so bloody? '
Xiaojun, even though he was a very capable man, passed out without my knowledge. This is also due to the fact that the Black Orc Shaman unit is the famous "Killer" called 〈Blood Ax〉.
Targets that are targeted by monsters will never survive.
'My uncle must have died at the hands of this child too ... ... '
His uncle, who was ranked 4th in the ranking of Chinese players, was also torn apart by an S-class spiritist, Deng Qiao.
So, on the one hand, I feel relieved.
Today, this operation, by force, should succeed.
"Uh, alright... Anyway, because I have this key, I will be able to identify the real manager. Then, if I pretend to shake hands and then grab it with 'rope', he won't be able to do it. do anything....'
He said so and stroked the rope tattoo on his wrist.
Then, item information appeared in my eyes.
[Item information]
-Name: Gleipnir
-Effect: When entering where, it traps certain targets. (Trapped targets cannot relax the rope in a magnetic force for 10 minutes.)
It was Black Orc magic, and it was tattooed on his body, but it was a skill unknown to the public, so there was no fear of being caught.
" ... ... You know you acted after that? I have to move fast first, and don't let them realize it, I have to wait for my signal. "
Although Xiaojun repeatedly said the words, the Black Orc did not answer.
" ... Well, yes, our number is suitable, right? "
In this way, they were invited by the Korean government to openly prepare for the murder. Diplomatically this is crazy.
But Xiaojun didn't care about that.
Because he is a "villain ".
Whether it's killed or cooked, the country is turned upside down, and its past life explodes, the only goal is to get Laputa's primary key only.
Suddenly, their car entered downtown Seoul.
But along their car, a crow was flying.
champ-
That's not an ordinary crow.
"Look at this ..."
Lee Hyun-wook chased the Hongdo guild with eyes 'Hughin'.
And there is something identified in his "Insight Lens ".
The subject was a large man sitting in the back seat.
Above his head, a line of text floated.
Black Orc Shaman (LV.71)
'Ha? Poli morphing.. ... '
Polimorph, the technique of changing appearance, is very difficult magic, and only dragons can use it freely.
'Yes, is that the power of Snotox, King of Orcs? '
The famous boss monster is the best shaman.
'Didn't the king of the noble Orcs come out by themselves? '
However, he could not fool Horus Eye.
Soon after, Lee Hyun-wook took something from his arms.
That is mana messenger is connected one on one with St. Emilia Müller.
***
After a while, the business room of a hotel in Seoul,
Hongdo guild members are sitting there waiting for someone.
The South Korean government said that Laputa managers were members of private unions and decided to set a meeting point as a hotel, not a government facility.
" ... Hmm, 10 minutes have passed since the time of the appointment right? "
"Right. These kids, they are not polite. "
"Huh... it's okay ... this will be fun right? "
The players from the Hongdo Guild faced each other and giggled.
Then, the door opens.
"Ah- Are you coming in now? "
And the people they hoped to appear there. I know it! '
He is none other than Seoul's savior, Lee Hyun-wook.
Then something trembled in Xiaojun's inner pocket.
And before my eyes, a system message appeared in my mind.
-Meet with "Master" of Laputa!
He can identify the Laputa master in this way because he received the mission when he was given this "additional key " from Amseong.
'After all, he is Laputa's manager. '
This was actually suspected by Villan.
However, there have been many failures that have occurred in recent years, so this time it needs to be confirmed all one by one.
'Today, without making a mistake, we will pass the biggest obstacle! '
Xiaojun rose from his seat and smiled.
"Ah! Hello! Isn't this a very famous person? "
And he was ready to inject it into his right wrist.
When entering this place, all items are returned to the subspace storage box. However, as expected, this "tattoo " was not noticed.
And the Shaman Orc also stood up.
He opened his eyes and looked at Lee Hyun-wook.
And as I said earlier, I am waiting for the moment 'handshake '.
"Haha— I already recognized it. It appeared before me that if I got permission from the Laputa ruler, I could become a worker. "
" ..."
"Oh, am I making a lot of noise? It makes me feel bad. First of all, I'm sorry for causing a commotion in front of you. "
Xiaojun reached out to Lee Hyun-wook with a sweet smile.
But ... ... That's not Lee Hyun-wook's hand.
Scream
That is a shotgun.
Kwa—ang—!
... ... Sh*t, there's no time to get it out.
