84. Episode 84
The location of the Diablo clan was further away than expected.
As the name of the floor suggests, it is located far away from the residential areas where people gather.
I thought I might have gotten lost if it weren’t for Hedrick’s help.
“This is it! Wow, it’s gotten a lot better since I last saw it! I’d believe it if you said it was a village, even if it was just a temporary residence!”
The appearance of the stronghold was quite serious.
A fence so well built that it’s almost a shame to call it a fence, a gate that seems to have been modeled after the gates of the Golden Castle, and a tall watchtower that looks at least 10 meters tall.
Even though Seun entered the tower late, it couldn’t have been that long.
Considering the time period, it was a surprisingly high level of completion.
‘It must be thanks to those two.’
Hanareum and Handaun.
Twin sisters who made contracts with the 38th and 39th ranked Demon Kings Halpas and Malpas, respectively.
The skills of both were clear.
Perhaps, it is not only the appearance that is outstanding, but also the structure inside the fence.
“Wow, I’m officially coming to the Diablo clan! It’s an honor! I can see the rankers I’ve only heard about in person!”
Hedrick put his hand on his cheek, which was now starting to sink. He looked as excited as a child about to meet a hero.
How many times must Park Jeong-pil have spread tales of bravery to deserve such a reaction?
It was the moment when Se-woon decided to educate the boy once again.
“Hey, could you please let me join your clan?”
“You’re trying to go in now.”
“Other than that, that, that is, the enlistment! If you accept, I, Hedrick! I will do my best!”
“You said you had a clan?”
“I would give up everything right now if I could join the Diablo clan!”
“leaving out.”
“Huh? Uh, why… … .”
“How can I accept someone who abandons his own clan at will?”
“But if you don’t throw it away, you won’t be able to come in in the first place!”
“So you’re out.”
“… … Do you not like me?”
“… … .”
Se-Woon tried to ignore Hedrick’s gaze and approached the door.
The door was firmly shut and there were no guards, but the high watchtower was the first to notice the presence of the guests.
“I see two players at the door.”
“Isn’t there anyone coming in at this time?”
“But it feels a little familiar… … Uh, uh?”
“What, why are you like that?”
Although the watchtower was quite a distance away, Seun’s ears, with their heightened hearing thanks to the ‘Kobold’s Pair of Ears’, could hear even the smallest voices.
Judging from the atmosphere, it seems like Se-woon has figured out his true identity.
Immediately afterwards, a voice loud enough to be heard without having to turn up my hearing was heard.
“Tongue, blood!”
“what?”
“It’s a blood wolf!”
“Really? Tell Seo-ah quickly!”
“yes!”
One of the players on the watchtower desperately climbed down the ladder to the ground.
Because the voice was so loud, Hedrick also heard the word and opened his mouth wide and looked at Seun.
“Tongue, Blood Wolf? Are you really a Blood Wolf? The Lone Blood Wolf, Blood Wolf Lord Jeong Se-woon?!”
“ha…….”
-The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’ desperately suppresses its laughter.
-The constellation, ‘The Serpent Surrounding Time’, comforts you with its pitiful eyes.
Se-Woon sighed deeply, touching his forehead.
It’s so shocking that such a rumor spread just because I was away for a few days. I heard it right next to me, and it made my hands and feet curl up.
“I mixed blood and sword like that! Oh, this hand! No, I will never wash this cheek!”
“Will you shut up?”
“yes.”
What the heck is this mixed sword thing. It seems like the memory of the battle with Seun has been embellished, even though they’ve never even crossed swords before.
And soon enough, the thick gates began to open.
As soon as it appeared that a gap had opened up and space was created for a person to fit through.
thud!
The door opens wide with a dull noise, and a sturdy, strong iron figure appears inside.
“Mr. Seun!”
Yusuh quickly ran over and hugged Seun.
It seemed like it was more out of concern for Se-woon, who had suddenly jumped off the cliff without even telling her why, than because it had been a long time since he had seen her.
Normally, he would have immediately run away, but this time, Se-woon quietly accepted her hug.
Kang Han-cheol, who came after him, scratched his cheek as if he was embarrassed.
“long time no see.”
Only after Se-woon spoke first did Yoo Seo-ah come to her senses and distance herself.
Soon, dozens of clan members came out through the wide-open door and welcomed Seun.
“Blood Wolf Oppa!”
“How long have we waited!”
“Especially Seo-ah unnie!”
“Ah, Beauty!”
“A long time.”
“Look at that! I told you I’d be back!”
The previously quiet front door suddenly became noisy.
Behind him, Hedrick was staring with his eyes and mouth wide open, not knowing what to do.
“Let’s go in and talk for now.”
“But who is that person?”
“You guided me here. Please show me around.”
“It is an honor!”
Hedrick stepped into the clan with a booming reply.
* * *
“Wow, you built all this in just a few days? This is truly amazing! It’s comparable to the village over there.”
As expected, the facilities inside the base were just as good as those outside.
Se-un was surprised by the twin sisters’ skills, which had improved significantly compared to before, and Hedrick openly expressed his admiration.
“Ahem! Over there, do you see the drain? Not only did they build the building properly, they even laid it out perfectly!”
“Hey, I calculated all the arrangements!”
“Hey, you’re so petty!”
“What? A little? This is it!”
-The constellation, ‘Black Bird’, nods his head, saying that it is indeed petty.
-The constellation, ‘The Great Bird’, stops the two contractors by covering the mouth of the black bird.
Thanks to that, the twin sisters’ shoulders shrugged tirelessly. Judging from the way they continued to explain diligently, they must have great pride.
‘Well, there weren’t any proper tools before.’
In the tutorial, you had to build a building with only the bare minimum equipment that could be purchased from the public store.
The materials they used were mostly wood or stone, and the two were already surprisingly skilled in creating basic facilities and even catapults using just that.
‘From the moment you enter the tower, you can somehow obtain most items.’
This is the result of that skill plus good materials.
As you can see, not only are there a variety of collectible materials on the first floor, but there are also merchants selling various items in the town.
As long as you have enough public points to replace the concept of currency on the tower, you can purchase a variety of items.
“Oh! Oh! Could that be the undead of the Lord Shihae that I’ve only heard of?”
Before entering the building, I noticed a pile of monster corpses in one corner of the base.
Seun is also a familiar monster.
These were the corpses of the monsters that had been attacking the castle in the fifth chapter of the tutorial.
Of course, among them are the corpses of strong monsters that are comparable to named monsters.
It seemed as if some work had been done on it, as there was no sign of the rapid decay typical of sea monsters, nor was there any foul odor.
Baekhyun, who was shaking his glasses while cutting the suction cups of the octopus-shaped monster, soon realized Se-woon’s presence and turned his head.
“Ah! You’re back. I’m sorry I couldn’t pick you up. When I concentrate, I can’t see my surroundings very well… … .”
“Okay. What about these?”
“I brought it because I thought it could be used as an undead, even though my skills are lacking.”
“That’s a good idea.”
“Haha, right? Thanks to Manticore, I realized that these named monsters are not only strong, but they can also command lower-level undead! Of course, it’s more of an instinctive command than a rational one, so there’s room for improvement… … .”
-The constellation, ‘The Horse That Tramples Death’, begins to taunt the contractor’s knowledge as if it were delighted.
As the topic turned to the undead, Baekhyun continued talking excitedly.
He’s usually a quiet, reserved person who just does his own thing, but whenever it comes to the topic of the undead, he seems to start talking at length.
The 4th ranked Demon King, Gamigin, who was watching him, also liked Baekhyun’s reaction.
At first, I just thought he had some talent so I connected him with Gamigin, but looking at it this way, it seems like he fits better than I thought.
“If you need anything, just let me know. I’ll be happy to help you whenever I can.”
“No! Thanks to Seun-ssi, I am able to fulfill my role in the clan. Oh, but if you don’t mind, can we discuss the toxicity of manticores later? They seem more acidic than I thought, and can even dissolve solids… .”
Se-Woon was also an interesting story as a former adventurer, but Yoo Seo-Ah stepped forward and carefully cut off Baek-Hyeon.
After all, it was more important to hear Se-un’s story first.
Baekhyun, who had only just come to his senses, smiled awkwardly and stepped aside.
As soon as Seun took that step, he started dissecting the octopus-shaped monster again.
In addition to that, there were various things going on at the base, such as cooking and practicing combat.
Really, it’s like a village.
Looking at the sight, Hedrick couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
“You’re doing well. You’ve worked hard.”
“You told me last time. Please take care of the clan.”
No matter what anyone says, it was Yu Seo-ah who led the clan into the tower and established a stronghold.
Everyone here had a hard time, but among them, Yu Seo-ah’s sense of responsibility was an ideal for others.
Se-woon scratched his cheek awkwardly, feeling like he had thrown a burden on someone.
“I didn’t want to disappoint Se-un since he asked me to do it. And I’ve gotten used to it now.”
Well, isn’t this the first or second time that Seun has left the clan?
From the first chapter of the tutorial, he left the room, saying he was going to the rocky mountain, and from then on, he left whenever he had the chance, saying he was going to find the hidden piece.
It was the same when I was hunting ogres in the third chapter, and it was the same when I was raiding warehouses in the fourth chapter.
Now that I think about it, it seems like I was absent from every chapter of the tutorial.
‘If it weren’t for Yu Seo-ah, I wouldn’t have been able to lead the clan this far.’
Perhaps, at best, only ten or twenty people would have managed to follow along.
“It’s here.”
“Oh, isn’t that great?”
“I built it the biggest because it’s where Seo-ah will stay!”
“Hehehe, I even made a room for Seun oppa!”
“You idiot, you should have made only one room!”
“oh!”
“… … Areuma, Daun?”
“Run away!”
“Whoa!”
The twin sisters made a big fuss and then ran away.
The only ones left are Kang Han-cheol and Yoo Seo-ah.
But there is something strange.
“What about Park Jeong-pil?”
I thought he would run out of the entrance as soon as we arrived at the base, but even after looking around almost the entire base, Park Jeong-pil was nowhere to be seen.
When Se-woon brought up the name, Yu Seo-ah let out a small sigh.
“Ha. Maybe he went out drinking.”
“……alcohol?”
I turned my head and saw Hedrick whistling and talking nonsense.
I wondered where Park Jeong-pil was spreading the rumors, and it turned out that alcohol was the problem.
But it was still okay during the tutorial.
There’s one more reason to educate.
“He’s been coming here every day since he discovered the bar in town. I think it’s about time he came by now.”
As soon as Yu Seo-ah said that… … .
“Hyungniiim!!”
From the direction of the main gate of the base, a familiar voice was heard.
When I looked back, Park Jeong-pil was running towards me with a pale face. He must have been drinking so much in broad daylight that I could smell the alcohol even from this distance.
“It’s finally out.”
“Ugh! You waited for me like that? I, Park Jeong-pil, your right-hand man! Whether it’s snowing or raining, I’ve been waiting for you!”
“Yoo Seo-ah, I’m sorry, but before we talk, can I have a moment with Jeong-pil?”
Because Yoo Seo-ah wanted to hear Se-woon’s story right away, she seemed to hesitate a little, but because of the earnest murderous intent she could feel on Se-woon’s face, she couldn’t help but nod.
Soon after, Se-woon raised the corners of his lips and approached Park Jeong-pil.
“Tongue, bro? But why are you clenching your fist? Haha… … .”
“Gang Han-cheol, catch him.”
“i get it.”
“Huh, huh? Let go! Let go, this! Brother, why are you doing this? I’ve been waiting for you for so long!”
“Shall we have a serious conversation?”
“Okay, I was wrong! It’s my brother!”
At that moment, Hedrick, who was watching the scene from behind, was able to realize.
If Se-un’s education was like a school class, the education he received would have been around the first period.
no.
-The constellation, ‘Donkey-headed Snatcher’ bursts into laughter, saying, ‘I knew it.’
I mean, it felt like morning assembly time before the first period even started.
