Episode 98
98. Episode 98
A spectacular party was held at the Diablo clan stronghold.
This time, it wasn’t a simple party just for clan members, but a large party that invited players from around the area.
Its origins were around the idea of taking players out of town to hunt werewolves.
I didn’t know how long it would take and I couldn’t lie, so I actually threw a party.
Seun and his clan members who had finished hunting also joined in late, and the party suddenly turned into a celebration party for a successful hunt.
Of course, the outside players who were laughing and chatting together were unaware of that fact.
“Can you please accept this? I’m not just asking for my life, but for our entire clan!”
“You know that a clan can’t have more than 50 people, right?”
“Then please accept us as a subordinate clan! After all, we are an elite clan comprised of players ranked in the top 100!”
“Do you really have to go that far… … .”
In the center of the stronghold, Hedrick was holding onto Yushua and making a strong appeal to his clan.
Since I couldn’t enter alone, I had to accept the entire clan.
‘Because it’s a mountain clan… … .’
Honestly, there was no merit in joining a clan that was not a guild or a subordinate clan.
However, from the receiving side, there was no problem. No, it was actually beneficial.
If it was a subordinate clan, there was no need to do anything in particular, and it was easy to ask for help when needed.
Just by lending the name ‘Diablo Clan’.
Se-Woon, who thought so, put down the drink he was drinking and nodded.
“Take it.”
“But is that okay?”
“I want it so badly, what can I do?”
“Excuse me? Wow! You promised? I’ll go and report to our clan leader right now? Yay! Clan leader! Hey, clan leader!”
Soon, a message appeared before Seun’s eyes saying that the ‘Red Eagle’ clan had entered his subordinate ranks.
It wasn’t just Hedrick who was causing a fuss, but it seemed like the clan was also quite excited.
“Mr. Se-un, when are you going to go to the next floor?”
“I have to fill up the whole month.”
“That’s unexpected. I thought you’d tell me to go up right away since you found the hidden piece.”
“I have a promise with you, sir.”
“Oh, you mean the blacksmith shop?”
As you begin to climb the levels, it becomes harder to find proper smelting facilities, such as the town’s blacksmith shop.
Even if we arrived at the next shelter, it was uncertain whether we would be able to rent the blacksmith shop. So, for now, we planned to fill up the one month contract with the blacksmith shop and then move on.
This will also increase the Diablo Clan’s chances of survival.
“Brother, you’re here! I’ve been looking for you for a long time! Come with me quickly. I’ve already grabbed the beauties from the neighboring clan for you!”
As I was talking to Yoo Seo-ah like that, Park Jeong-pil appeared with his face reddened.
He said he would allow drinking today, but Se-woon’s education seemed completely forgotten and he seemed to be already quite drunk.
Se-un shook his head as he looked at the guy and got up from his seat.
“Yuseo-ah, please take care of him.”
“Yes? Me?”
“No. Strong iron!”
“Ah, no, brother! Why are you calling that guy all of a sudden!”
“Did you call?”
“Heeeeek!”
I was able to avoid the annoying situation by passing the responsibility of Park Jeong-pil to Kang Han-cheol.
Se-un left a greeting for Yu Seo-ah and moved to the outskirts of the stronghold. Although the surroundings were a bit noisy, it seemed like no one was watching.
“So, what kind of deal are you looking for?”
Se-un recited to the empty space.
On the way back to base after finishing the werewolf hunt, I recalled the message Mamon had left behind.
Then, as if waiting, Mamon’s message came to mind.
-The constellation ‘The Crow with its Head Down’ refers to the location of the werewolf.
“Is this what you mean?”
Se-Woon took out some of the materials he had obtained this time.
The eyes and blood of a fallen werewolf, etc.
These were materials obtained from the wolf of Tabula, but even Seun had difficulty figuring out how to use them.
Originally, I knew that the werewolf material didn’t have much value other than its claws and teeth.
Thanks to the subspace pocket, Mamon continued his message while looking at vivid materials despite the passage of time.
-The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Bowed’ nods.
-The constellation, ‘The Crow with the Bowed Head’, promises to keep access to the lowest level treasures in the warehouse if you offer them.
‘Hmm… … .’
Mammon’s Treasure House. In other words, the right to open the Treasure House of Greed (眞).
Previously, it was only possible to use it because I had borrowed Durandal.
Naturally, now that I have the Durandal back, that authority has disappeared. But this time, I will be given that right to open it permanently.
Although there weren’t many useful treasures among the lowest level, it wasn’t a bad suggestion for Seun.
In the first place, we don’t even know how to use the materials we have now.
Just before Se-Woon, who had been thinking for a long time, was about to accept the offer, a new constellation intervened in their conversation.
-The constellation, ‘The Serpent Surrounding Time’ advises not to be fooled by that crow.
-The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, spreads its wings wide to tell you not to interfere.
‘huh?’
Advice from Leviathan, the god of jealousy. Seun could tell the moment he saw it.
Maybe the value of these materials is greater than you think.
-The constellation, ‘The Serpent Surrounding Time’, croons that the fall of the werewolf is an extremely rare phenomenon even in the history of the Tower.
-The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’ cries loudly, telling us to be quiet.
-The constellation, ‘The Serpent Surrounding Time’, says that the material of the fallen werewolf is more excellent than any jewel in terms of rarity…
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, spreads its wings desperately to cover the serpent’s message.
‘Was it like that?’
Thanks to Leviathan’s advice, Seun was able to clearly understand the situation.
Before the return, Seun had explored so many different types of knowledge, yet he did not know about the fall of the werewolf.
It was because of the pride that werewolves had in common.
The belief that even at the risk of one’s life, one should not harm one’s comrades.
Even the werewolves who were driven out from their pack did not bend their beliefs.
However, the wolf of Tabula broke that belief and chose the path of corruption by preying on his own kind.
The effect of the material is unknown, but as Leviathan said, it was an incredibly valuable material based on its rarity alone.
“Hmm, I see.”
-The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, holds its forehead and sighs deeply.
– The constellation, ‘The Serpent Surrounding Time’, raises its head high and asks who it is trying to deceive.
– Even if the constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, says so, it repeats its offer to you, saying that it is not a bad deal at all.
Certainly, it wasn’t a bad restriction. He knew that the material in front of him was rare, but even so, Seun had no way to use it.
It was more profitable to use the warehouse a little through a deal with Mamon than to just hold on.
however.
“I think we might have to change the terms of the deal a little.”
Now that we have identified the value, it is necessary to elevate the level of trading.
“Please allow me to use lower-level treasures as well, not just the lowest level.”
-The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’ frowns.
-The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Bowed’, asserts that their value is not that great.
– The constellation, ‘The Serpent Surrounding Time’, counters by saying not to lie.
-The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, pauses for a moment, then shakes its head, saying that even so, it doesn’t make sense to give away all the lower-level treasures.
“I will only use consumables that I have spare. I have no intention of ruining my collection.”
-The constellation, ‘The crow with its head down’, shakes its head, saying that it is not possible.
“I will use the other items on a ‘rental’ basis, just like I lent you the Durandal.”
-The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, exclaims in horror at the thought of his treasures being covered in dust.
“Is that so? Well, then we’ll have to wait until someone comes along who will recognize the value of these.”
Seun lifted the fallen werewolf’s eyes.
I didn’t notice it at first, but now that I look at it, the way the pupils shine so beautifully is quite beautiful.
Even if it weren’t for its rarity, it would be mistaken for a real jewel.
And it wasn’t just Seun who thought so.
-The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, is troubled and lost in thought.
Got caught.
In fact, if Seun had not known the value of this material at all, this deal would have been made quickly, but the outcome was already set when Seun realized the value of the material through Leviathan.
Mamon was the first to reveal his desire for this material, and Seun, the owner of the material, had no choice but to become the winner.
“I will also keep to the tolerance line. Even when you opened the lowest level treasure, I did not use it carelessly, right?”
-The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, nods silently.
Seun leisurely waited for Mamon’s answer.
Now, Mamon’s delay was not because he was worried about whether or not to make a deal.
It was a time I needed to brainwash myself into thinking that the material was worth it.
As I waited, feeling the cool night breeze, I soon heard Mamon’s answer.
-The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Bowed’, understands and accepts your offer.
-The constellation, ‘The Serpent Surrounding Time’, concludes the mediation, saying that it is not a bad deal.
Sigh.
Seun cut the tip of his index finger with the edge of a sharp knife.
Even though it was a constellation that I had been working with in tutorials, I had no intention of making a deal based on mere trust.
-Blood flows out from the tips of the feathers of the constellation, the ‘bowing crow’.
– The constellation ‘Serpent Surrounding Time’ tries to teach you the law of contracts, but is surprised by your actions.
-The contract with the constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Bowed’, has been concluded.
– Through the contract with the constellation, you will be able to use a portion of ‘Mammon’s Treasure House’ in the future.
As the contract was concluded, all of the Tabula materials that Seun had been holding disappeared.
Although it was a bit of a shame, for Seun, this deal was an excellent one that strengthened his fighting power without any significant losses.
He boasted that he would find someone who would appreciate his worth, but it was not easy to find someone like that.
Right after.
-The treasure trove of greed (眞) has been opened.
Chorrrruk-
A new list of treasures was revealed before Se-un’s eyes.
It was only one level up from the lowest to the lowest, but the list grew to hundreds, and even thousands.
‘Shall we take our time and look around?’
Anyway, it seemed like tonight was going to be a long time spent looking at treasures.
