00636 Hachar’s items. ————————————————– ———————-=
The northwest expedition arrived at the home of the giants.
As I told Kim Soo-hyun yesterday, Kim Yu-hyun started taking action as soon as he arrived at the target area. The end of the attack on Area 3 was officially announced, and work on fort construction began immediately.
As part of this, Kim Yu-hyeon first lent the help of users to clear the giants’ home. With the justification that he wanted to build the fortress as quickly as possible.
But no one believed it at all. Users fought difficult battles and experienced the pain of losing colleagues. In these circumstances, victory is not much of a consolation. If there is one thing that can soothe the wound, it can be said that compensation is the special medicine.
Of course, it is an unwritten rule that the rewards obtained from clearing the land should not be touched until they are distributed. However, expecting thousands of people to all adhere to that principle is, in fact, quite remote and unlikely.
For example, even if a big achievement like Mjolnir is unavoidable, it is not noticeable even if you secretly take three or four jewels the size of a bird. To put it bluntly, you don’t have to get caught.
From this perspective, users who are organizing their current home can be broadly classified into three tendencies.
Users who diligently report any results they discover.
Users who first look around when discovering a performance.
Users who engage in personal behavior from the beginning, aiming to hide performance.
Especially in the third case, there are many archer or assassin classes. Due to the nature of my job, I have a keen eye for insight, so I have the ability to discover not only visible achievements but also hidden achievements.
Right now, like a man walking alone into a remote part of his home.
In fact, like the place used by the king of giants, good results usually come from the center.
However, there was a good reason for the man to go to a remote place. Since the center has the largest concentration of users in the first place, there are significant restrictions on concealment actions.
Rather, it is better to give up good results and head to a remote place where there is relatively less worry about being exposed.
The man who had been moving his feet so quickly stopped when he found a place that looked like a camp, quite far from the center of the village. Of course, in reality it was just a tent where a giant lived, but from the user’s perspective, it was a large enough space that it could be considered a camp for 2 to 4 people.
The man looked around carefully. And after she was sure no one was there, she opened the leather, which had obviously been roughly torn.
As soon as I took a step inside, I frowned at the smell of cooked leather that filled my nose.
“Is this the old guy’s room? “It smells really bad.”
The inside of the camp was quite large, about 30 meters in diameter. The ceiling is covered with grimy leather, and the walls are also covered with leather hanging on a string. There were piles of dark, fallen leaves on the ground. It was like looking at a hut from primitive times.
At first glance, you don’t see anything special. But the moment her man looked around at the leather on her string, her frowning eyes widened. There was something like a shiny necklace hanging on a bone hook protruding through her skin.
“Oh, I found something that looks expensive.”
The man showed a satisfied smile and grabbed the necklace. Her cheap bone decoration caught her eye, but she didn’t care about the man. Because the large jewels embedded in her were flashing red light and showing off.
“Even if I can’t do this much, it would be worth 3,000 gold coins. “It’s a good start.”
Soon, the man with the necklace in his arms began to slowly walk around the camp.
However, even after 5 minutes, the man did not notice any significant results. Occasionally monster meat or eyeballs that appeared to belong to monsters were seen, but from the user’s point of view, these were not necessary at all.
“Damn it. “They say the first shot is a dog shot.”
The man looked around for an additional 5 minutes and then grumbled in an annoyed voice. She wasn’t expecting anything special, but she felt bad about not being able to get even a single piece of practical equipment. Her one necklace was far from enough to meet her man’s expectations.
In the end, the man gave up looking for more and decided to leave.
“Oh, f*ck.”
At that moment, the pile of fallen leaves he had looked through earlier caught his eye, and the man started wheezing and kicking. This was when my toe hit a pile of leaves.
Pop!
The feeling of something being caught came from my toes.
“huh?”
The man’s eyes widened as if he also felt a strange sensation.
Eventually, the man’s gaze found a round pile of dirt rising from the slightly cleared fallen leaves. The pile of dirt, which at first glance looked like a grave, was about the size of an average plate.
“This… ?”
A strange look suddenly passed through the eyes of the man who was mumbling absently.
After a while, the man hurriedly knelt down and began to remove fallen leaves with both hands and carefully sweep up the dirt.
However, when people suddenly began to arrive one by one from outside, the man hurriedly stuck his hand into the center of the earthen grave. As she fumbled around, she suddenly caught something with her fingertips.
About the size of a seed and hard to the touch. But I don’t have a clear idea of what it is. No, is it accurate to say that I don’t even have time to look at it?
“Uh, I guess someone is here already?”
Suddenly, a voice came from outside. The man’s subsequent actions were very quick. He quickly stood up, putting what was in her hand into the pocket where he had put the necklace earlier, and swept up the fallen leaves with his feet to cover the dirt.
After about 3 seconds, someone came into the camp, slightly flipping his skin.
“Is there anyone… ? Oh, was it you?”
Could it be the voice of someone you know? The man briefly sighed in relief. And that was the moment when she turned around with her calm face.
Ugh!
Suddenly, a red glow began to emanate from the man’s chest.
Wooooow!
But there was no way to know what that brilliance was.
“K, keuh?!”
The man suddenly let out a low scream due to the pain he felt near his heart.
*
Meanwhile, at the same time.
“That’s it.”
In a dark space, sitting leisurely on an ornate chair, Inyoung spoke in a low voice. The tone itself was very low, but it had an undertone of satisfaction.
“Has the seed been sown?”
Then, suddenly, another voice came out. It was a voice coming from Inyoung, who was prostrating in front of the chair.
“iced coffee. First of all, the forced transplant was successful. Now we have to wait and see for at least two weeks. “I wonder if I can get a seat or not.”
Inyoung, sitting on a chair, answered that question. And when I slowly opened my eyes, a red glow burned in the darkness. Red eyes immediately gazed under the chair.
“Belial.”
Belial. One of the 14 demon lords and the closest associate of the archdemon Satan.
It was like that. The two figures talking now were Satan, the ‘king of all devils’, and Belial, the ‘devil.’
Satan did not speak immediately. He took a moment to slowly sip the wine glass he held in his right hand and then took out a piece of tobacco.
Chiik, chiik.
“What is the current progress?”
Finally, the voice continued.
“I believe all preparations have been completed. Now, if only I could open the portal to hell… .”
“Ho, already? “He’s quite sincere for an Astaroth.”
“Because Astaroth wasn’t the only one who carried out the process. Beelzebub, Asmodeus, Baal… .”
“yes. Even if we say that for Beelzebub and Asmodeus, Baal was quite surprising. “It seems like he felt a sense of victory as a cruel destroyer.”
Satan said and chuckled.
“… And even Satan.”
However, when Belial continued speaking a beat later, Satan stopped laughing. Then he raised his wine glass and showed a meaningful expression.
“You don’t like me interfering? “Answer truthfully.”
“… yes.”
“Hehe, I see.”
“sorry.”
Belial immediately bowed his head, but Satan shook his head as if it didn’t matter.
“No, it doesn’t matter. Just think positively. I’m not actually crossing over, I’m just sowing a seed. “It’s a seed that almost became useless.”
“But… .”
Belial, who had said that far, took a deep breath. However, when he heard nothing, he thought it was an unspoken permission and continued slowly.
“I’m still concerned about the great world’s prophecy.”
“… … .”
“As you know, Satan, the great world’s prophecies have never been wrong. I wonder if this plan now fulfills part of that prophecy… .”
“But, even if I just stay like this, the result will be the same.”
Satan did not listen to all of Belial’s words and cut him off midway. Belial instinctively shrunk his body, but Satan still gently lifted his wine glass.
“I don’t know what you may think, but I think quite highly of this plan. It’s the same with bringing in the Archduke of Hell, and the fact that 4, no, 5 archdemons are participating in the plan. … This means that the great demons, who had always moved individually, have joined forces for the first time. “I think this alone makes this plan truly meaningful.”
The remarks that followed were so constructive that one would not normally think of them as satanic. However, a slight worry appeared on Belial’s face when he heard those words. The fact that Satan, who emphasized that he was an ‘independent being’ more than anyone else, did something like that means that he is also aware of the seriousness of the current situation. In other words, it was proof of how crowded the demons were.
“Actually, I know. “At least this plan won’t succeed.”
It was then. Belial’s face stiffened, and at the same time, Satan’s eyes were torn horizontally. For a moment, a deep light passed through both eyes.
“If the Prince of Hell is that strong… . Plus hell is that bitch’s home ground. No matter how perfectly you prepare, there will always be variables.”
Belial slowly raised his head.
“then… .”
“But not succeeding doesn’t necessarily mean failure, right? Just grab the variable. “That’s why I’m secretly intervening.”
“Lord, lord.”
“Well, there’s nothing I can do if I fail. But then I really will have to give up the Northern Continent.”
“… … .”
“Oh, by the way. Belial. “Why don’t you participate in this plan too?”
What does this mean again? Belial hurriedly lifted his head.
Satan calmly opened his mouth.
“I heard from Astaroth that the Prince of Hell is truly a great loser. So much so that not only God, but even most angels, can’t even hand out a business card. “Why don’t you go and have a look?”
“… yes?”
Then this time Belial showed an expression of bewilderment. Is that change in facial expression interesting?
“haha. Just kidding. “I’m in a good mood right now with fun plans ahead, so please understand.”
Satan laughed lightly.
“Anyway, is this a sufficient answer? Belial.”
Belial could not answer. Because he had no idea what to say. He couldn’t even guess Satan’s true intentions.
… No, perhaps for the first time since coming under Satan’s control, he doubted the ‘King of all devils.’ To that extent, Satan’s tone and attitude today were quite different from before.
“… “Everything goes according to Satan’s will.”
But in the end, this was all Belial could answer.
Eventually, Satan took another sip of his wine glass and calmly stood up.
“Anyway, please continue to report on the progress.”
I put the burned tobacco in the glass and left the space.
Soon, as the sound of Satan’s footsteps began to recede, a quiet silence filled the space. The air currents that had been slightly bristling also subsided. Belial was thus left alone in the space, but he was still prostrate facing the chair.
“I am… .”
Suddenly, Belial’s mouth opened. As if he was still talking to Satan.
“… “It’s scary when your plan doesn’t end in failure.”
And a voice filled with vague anxiety continued softly.
