Chapter 139 Plague Prophecy, Hunting Arrangement 2
Hyunwook Lee sat face to face with Donald Harris at Friedwen.
A bald old man with a lot of rudeness all over his body ...
Lee Hyun-wook only saw this man several times in his previous life.
So, I don't know exactly what his personality is like.
'As far as I know, he has a deep distrust of humans and rarely communicates with the outside world. '
Just like a saint, a hermit who was locked up in a secret study room in the World Tree and never came out ... ... I don't know why he personally came to the place so far, but it doesn't seem so. general.
Then he took something out of his pocket.
It's a cigarette, but it's not an ordinary cigarette.
"Do you smoke indoors? "
"Ah, no problem."
"Do you want to smoke too? "
"I'm fine."
Then he added because it was made from the young leaves of the world tree so it gave a good buff.
Tobacco that is good for the body does make sense, but it could be if it is a by-product of the world tree.
Chii-
A small spark lit up at the tip of his finger, igniting the tip of the cigarette.
Then a water ball isformed on the other side, which is then frozen into a cup.
peek-
Cold water is filled automatically.
At first glance, this might seem a rather strange magic, but actually it is a deceptive ability.
'S class spirit witch who can use all four spirits ... ... '
In other words, he can use all the power of fire, water, earth and wind. These are not just some magic tricks, it's all about reaching the highest level ... ... That is indeed a deceptive ability.
Shortly thereafter, the spirit of the wind rose from his shoulder and began to spin around his second body.
woo woo woo–
Rotating very fast, and the air flow — sound is cut off. It was a kind of magic of silence.
Then, without unnecessary introductions, the main part is excluded.
"The war event has just ended, but if another major event occurs in this country, do you believe? "
He spoke like a prophecy with a calm expression.
'Big event?'
However, in Lee Hyun-wook's memory, there is no major event at this time.
So, I can't help but doubt whether the words are true or not.
" ... ... How do you know that?"
Before asking what the big event is, the question of how to find out takes precedence.
"When I say something like this, I usually trust it right away, but you don't believe it, right? "
"Is that one of the World Tree's abilities to predict such events? "
Donald Harris took a sip of cold water and then grinned.
"This is Won, you won't believe what I'm saying right? "
"It's not like that, but I'm just careful. "
"Then may I tell you more? "
Hyunwook Lee nodded, and Donald Harris began to explain.
"The fruit, the World Tree, periodically produces a variety of fruits, including black fruit, and if swallowed, you can see events that will be generated in the area of the World Tree. It's like a movie trailer. "
He eats the fruit once a month and estimates the number of gates that will appear in the Republic of Chad.
And just in time, today is the day of the fruit harvest ... ...
"I swallowed it this morning, and a strange sight unfolds before my eyes. No matter how I look at it, it's not Chad, and when I look for it, it's this country, Korea. Maybe there is a connection between the gods. "
" ... So what do you see? "
"The view where the city center somewhere in the country turns gray and burns and large winged creatures pass through it ... ... It will happen in the next 30 days, so we must prepare now. "
He burned the cigarette butts completely, blew them into the wind, and opened his mouth.
"The blessings we have, both me and you, are in fact a disaster. "
Blessings because of disaster ... ... That's not a strange idea.
On the contrary, as has happened so far, disasters must be prevented, but the rewards, or rewards, will come.
Aren't the World Trees, Laputa and Shindansu all the results of a major disaster attack?
'But if you think about it, one day you will face another disaster. '
This is a game. And for a fun game, the conflict repeats itself, and the scale must be even greater. In this case, if the total number of 'blessings ' there is high ... ... The coming disaster must be as large.
That is the concept of 'design level ' which is the balance of the game.
'Could the difficulty increase because I went too far? '
Compared to my previous life, I feel so peaceful now.
Previously, the 4th wave was attacked all out to block erosion.
And he destroyed the Black Orc Legion a few years earlier.
'The Stonox monster boss is still alive, but seems to have been attacked during the event ... ... '
Problems that were resolved years later in a previous life ended too quickly.
Hyun-wook Lee asked, nodding his head as if he understood what he was saying.
"then ... Do you know about the big event? "
Before answering that question, he took out another cigarette and asked. Is that the hobby of an old man who lives alone and alone?
By the way, they say it smells good, but the characteristic of burning smoke seems inevitable.
"after-"
Soon after, the words that came out of his mouth were sweeter than cigarette smoke.
" ... An adult dragon named 'Aji Dahaka' will appear with Angra Mainyu's troops."
At that moment, Lee Hyun-wook took a deep breath.
'Dragon, it's an adult ... ... '
At present, the existence of dragons only appears once.
However, it is teenagers who have just escaped the Hatchling stage.
Therefore, the appearance of an adult dragon is the worst disaster.
However, even though Lee Hyun-wook was surprised, he had strange expectations.
' ... Aji Dahaka, this is what I caught.'
A few years later, the Black Dragon and his army appeared in Suwon ... ...
All players in this country must go forward and attack.
And then, Hyun-wook Lee put mogley on his head and killed him.
Of course, dropping moglays from low altitude does not mean being killed immediately.
I have to cut the shield where the dragon is to make it happen, but it's not easy.
'By the way, because I caught him once, may I say this is luck rather than bad luck? '
Lee Hyun-wook is a level 199 super big boss monster, how to attack ... ... I know it very well.
At that moment, Donald Harris smiled and tilted his upper body.
"And if you want to face the disaster, I think I can help. "
What is supported by the world tree manager ...
To date, I have dictated the power of the World Tree, at least indirectly, through the Saints.
By the way, if Donald Harris gives his hand ... it will be different.
However, Lee Hyun-wook was not very happy with those words.
'Then why are you so willing to help? '
As far as he knows, Donald Harris is not the type of person who easily does something to someone.
I remember in my previous life, when Lee Hyun-wook was a guardian, I came to him and asked for help.
Isn't he the first person to reject him as a guardian, and as a black person?
'In the end, he was right, but ... ... '
However, it is clear that he is not the type of person who can help without other reasons.
as expected ... ...
"Of course, there is one condition. "
Hyunwook Lee nodded as if he had been waiting.
"My world tree, Yggdrasil, also has a dragon, a bastard named Nidhog ... "
Nidhogg, in Nordic mythology, is a dragon that eats away at Yggdrasil's roots.
Right now, Donald Harris must have held him back.
However, in the future, the Dark Elf corps freed Nidhogg as soon as the Chadian Republic was captured.
And the gnome devoured Donald Harris, who remained in the World Tree until the end.
"At present, we suppress it with the power of the World Tree, but we need more power. "
" ... Does it limit the growth of world trees? "
"Yes, so we have to get rid of it as soon as possible, but can I make plans for old age? "
It was a world tree whose size exploded immediately after its birth, but at some point its growth stopped.
The public considered that it would be a complete tree of the world, but apparently not so.
"If you kill Aji Dahaka and become a Dragon Killer, then you will help me. "
After you catch a dragon, you get an 'achievement ' called a dragon killer.
And the weapon that killed the dragon was also present with the 'option ' called the Dragon Killer.
Since then, while hunting dragons, things have become easier.
"How can you become a Dragon Killer while preventing major events to come? "
Hyunwook Lee nodded his head without thinking.
"Because we cannot move the whole country, we have no choice but to seize it. "
"Fun too right? Seeing that his expression hasn't changed, it's not bluffing. Reliable enough. "
Saying such a thing to a man who acts like a dokgo-dai without trusting anyone until the last moment ... ...
'What do you think of me? '
No matter how much I think about it, I can't help but be surprised at many things.
However, despite that uncomfortable feeling, Lee Hyun-wook thought to take what he brought in this conversation.
"Ah, but I have one condition. "
"Um? The conditions, what other conditions do you need here? "
"Sorry, but I haven't accepted the agreement. "
Donald Harris then grinned, as if it didn't make sense.
"I said I would give you immediate support, would you make a deal? "
If it is the support of the World Tree Administrator, the extent to which it has not been discussed, but that does not mean loss.
However, asking for more here is no different from a stupid child.
However....
"That ... to be honest, I have the confidence to do it without Mr. Harris's support. "
In such a way that there is nothing to regret, it is implied that he has the confidence to cancel the transaction itself.
'Regardless of who has a bigger share at first, the person who made the agreement first is more regrettable. '
A thin smile was seen on Donald Harris's face hearing those words.
"Yes, how is the condition? "
Lee Hyun-wook took out the item he got during the 4th wave from his hand.
[Item information]
– Name: Mystyltaine Seed (Unknown)
– has no effect
It was a Shin-Sal (Mistilteinn) weapon.
It is still in the seed stage, but like benalu, it can grow by parasitizing it on new trees.
"May I borrow some of the power of the World Tree? "
Even though he has obtained divine command, it would be better to use the power of Yggdrasil as a nutrient if possible.
***
Keep the conversation, both of them come out of Fridwen and stand in front of Sindansu.
Uh–
As I approached him, the eight Juryong 'that I held responded.
– God tree 'Shindansu' takes root. (31%)
* 'The main authorities ' currently available are as follows.
1) Pass the Sacred Shield (3km radius)
2) Strengthen Life Blessings (60 minutes)
'It's rooted, so it looks like all functions haven't been activated. '
At that time, Donald Harris put his hand on Shindansu.
"Have you ever looked for and found out about Shindansu, the Divine Tree, does it come from the myth of the founding of this country? "
"Yes, right. But, in Harris's view, is it definitely weaker than the World Tree? "
"Um ... Its strength is smaller than when the World Tree first appeared, but still, the tree of god is still a tree of gods. Whatever you expect, it will be more than a blessing. But, there will be more enemies ... "
After saying so, he approached Hresbelg, a giant bird crouching behind his back.
Then he pulled something out of a large leather pocket behind his neck.
"What is that?"
At the end of a long log there is a bird-shaped wooden carving statue.
'Sotdae?'
At that moment, a wind spirit appeared and aired it high in the sky, then dropped it on the floor.
Go-!
When sotdae fell to the floor, bright light appeared.
Uh–
– 'Guard Spirit Park ' is activated in the area. (Remaining time: 15 days)
"Now, for the next 15 days, access to monsters and dark players will be blocked."
Those who are wary of the gods have blocked the possibility of targeting them in the early days.
"I want you to know that sotdae is a very valuable gift that can only be given once or twice a year. "
The gift does not end there.
"And this, installing this will help in many ways. "
He held out a transparent glass box.
There is something in it ... ... It is nothing but a beehive.
[Object Information]
– Name: New Wood Beehives
– Effect: The following effect is applied when the object 'is installed '.
1) Habitat Defense: When 'enemy ' approaches within a certain radius (3 km), a group attack is carried out.
2) Producing Holy Honey: Producing honey with divine power at any specified time (1 day).
* This object can only be installed in 'Tree Gods'.
Is this supposed to be a kind of security system?
Hyunwook Lee installed the object in the thickest new branch.
"As you already know, the shield function is one of the master authorities of the god tree, so use it. "
Lee Hyun-wook nodded and chose the placement of the dome from the previous 'main authority menu.
woo woo woo–
The see-through dome spreads from Udumji Temple in Sindansu and covers a radius of 3 km around it.
"Okay, in the next few months, this island will be the most expensive island in the world right? "
In a few days, Shindansu's power will cover the entire Ganghwado Island and turn it into which ecosystem. As a result, fresh seeps throughout the island, rare plants bloom, and water turns into holy water.
'If it's time to use this power properly ... ... you will be able to conquer Necromancer.'
Of course, the criminal also paid attention to the appearance of the second god tree, and correctly confirmed the existence of the saint.
'Of course, they will respond to it and prepare something with all their might. '
and... ... People who prepare well will be the final winners.
***
Reinforcements from the Republic of Chad open "World Bridge " and return.
Lee Hyun-wook also returned to Laputa with Team Leader Lee Gyo-joon in charge of Shin Dan-soo's security.
Hyun-wook Lee sat in the order tower and began handling the pending work.
First of all, the mission content is updated when you kill William Bernard, the dimension mover.
[Main Search]
– Second chance of life, duty, destiny ... ...
1) Browse 'Black Gate ' which opens somewhere in the world.
2) Previous Life — Beat 'dimensional movers ' who will come from the first world. (1/3)
3) Meet with '■■■' who know the truth of this world.
'This is the third ... ... You mean we have to kill three people, right? '
Among future criminals, William Bernard is the easiest opponent.
But besides that, names that immediately cross the mind are indeed difficult.
And especially ... ...
'Astrologer ... ... When he comes, another story. '
Even in the current confrontation with Necromancer, he was pushed back.
But if Necromancer comes in 8 years ... ...
' ... ... You lost unconditionally. '
However, 'trigger action ' emergence of dimensional movers is a meeting with William Bernard at this time.
'impossible ... ... Doesn't dimensional shift begin just by meeting each other? '
Maybe during this battle, I thought I was lucky because I didn't face Necromancer directly. And unless I'm really ready in the future, it's better not to meet a Necromancer.
And one of the words William Bernard said when he appeared, kept crossing my mind.
'The words he muttered repeatedly, the search for transcendence ... ... What is that? '
Maybe that's why they came here ...
At present, no one can be caught.
But the time will come when the veil will be revealed.
'For the time being, we must continue to increase our strength. '
And the easiest way to increase strength, of course, is a good item.
Right-
When Lee Hyun-wook snapped his finger, a metal box flew out of nowhere.
What was inside was none other than William Bernard's skull.
'Does it feel like robbing a grave? '
Hyun-wook Lee checks the items that cover his body one by one.
– Get a Black Drake Leather Armor (Skilled).
– You have obtained the Adamant Full Plate Armor Set (Skilled).
– You have obtained the Sword of the Dark Elf Murder Leader: Red Shadow (Heroes).
Every time you touch, skill level items or heroes appear one after another.
'Are there still many useful items? '
And finally, I found a legendary item.
– You have obtained Draufnir (Legendary).
'This is mine too ... ... .'
It seems that this child took most of the items he had in his previous life.
This bracelet, Draufnir, is one of Odin's treasures, the supreme deity of Norse mythology, and it is known that eight copies are copied every 9 days. However, in this game it is set with slightly different abilities.
[Item information]
– Name: Draufnir (Legendary)
– affects
1) Creation: Produces a total of 8 'Random Magic Metals ' as much as 100~200g every 9 days.
2) Storage: You can store up to 81 magic metals in your own subspace.
Instead of replicating gold bracelets like this, they are instead converted into magic metal production.
'That's because gold is totally useless in this game. '
The function of this item is focused on the productive aspects rather than the fight.
'That kind of snack bag for me ... ... '
In a previous life, there was no easy way to get high quality metal other than the function of this bracelet.
At that time, he grew up late and had no choice but to rely on the support of the Guardian.
So this bracelet is also of metal, but I don't dare to swallow it because it's wasted.
'But life is different. '
gulp-
He bravely swallowed Draufnir.
Lee Hyun-wook wondered what skills he would get if he ate this.
Then, which sender rings.
– Boss, I understand what you are asking for. At present, it is mentioned, around 2 tons of flight seats can be secured.
This voice is Kang Jeong-doo.
– By the way, where did you say you used this? Because I didn't get it from the staff.
"I wish I could fly a live iron or armor golem."
– ....
After that there was a silence for a while. It seems like an absurd idea.
Right then and there, Talos speakers that look like balls fall from above.
"(°> <°) Can I finally fly?"
I think this person said he wanted to fly someday.
– Well, it's not easy. We need a lot of flight seats, and which supply is also a problem ... ...
Kang Jeong-doo recently studied aircraft manufacturing techniques while interacting with the Gray Dwarves.
However, the flying Living Armor seems to have a very different context.
– By the way, if you tell me why you need flight functions, we will match the degrees.
"Flying monsters ... ... So, we must immediately catch flying creatures. "
– Oh, the Wyvern that you hunted last time? Are you trying to catch something like that?
"This time, I will catch something bigger than that."
– so that's how it is. Then, after experimenting with staff, we will contact you again.
After completing communication with Kang Jeong-doo, Lee Hyun-wook rose from his seat.
There is still one more job to be done.
"Now, finally ... ... How about we visit the Colossus Research Institute? "
After winning the war against the Black Orc Corps, add-ons joined Laputa.
The giant plane became a building and clung to the right side of Laputa.
"Talos, can you enter the giant lab? "
"Oh! We haven't turned on the electricity yet, but we can do it right away! "
After a while, when I got there, I found something amazing.
"...eh?"
And as he watched, Talos was far more excited than Lee Hyun-wook.
「Q(°0°)Q oh oh oh oh— I never dreamed I'd be here!"
