00916 A Poisoned Chalice, Two. ————————————————– ———————-=
“Now, here.”
When I handed over a bundle of items purchased from the user store, Go Yeon-ju quickly took them and tilted her head.
“This… .”
“This is the bola of bondage. “Didn’t you give me one last time?”
“yes. i know. But why did you buy so much? “Inexpensive?”
“It’s cheap. “The GP cost for each one is 750,000.”
Then Go Yeon-ju’s drowsy eyes instantly widened.
“oh my god. So how much is it in total? One, two, three… . heat. 7.5 million GP?”
“I don’t think one will be enough. And now, Go Yeonju and I are managing it periodically, but won’t there be an announcement about the Central Continent raid soon?”
“Oh~. I see. “If you go on an expedition, it will be difficult to manage it, so are you going to tie it down with these in the first place?”
“Of course.”
Go Yeon-ju nodded as if she understood and smiled weakly. After fiddling with the weight attached to the end of the three long strings a few times, he inserts it into the concave line in the middle of the two breasts. When that woman is bored, it seems like she uses her cleavage as her pocket.
Finally, just before Go Yeon-ju left the door, she half-turned around and said, “Oops.”
“Oh, Suhyun? “What was the angel’s reaction?”
“Nothing that was particularly concerning came out.”
“Hmm?”
“Thank you for taking care of Baal and Beelzebub… . “He just said this.”
Go Yeon-ju smiled mysteriously. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something. But he just stared and left the room without saying anything.
Eventually, after hearing the sound of the door closing carefully, I sighed and looked at Excalibur placed on one side of the desk.
The sword body that reflects the sunlight is dazzlingly beautiful, but it is still the same. As if he won’t acknowledge me even if he dies soon, he is setting up so many intangible blades that it will sting my flesh. It’s like watching a hedgehog curled up with its thorns stiffly erected.
As a result, there was nothing in the user store that would appeal to the ego-driven gear. Of course, I couldn’t find any items that could change my tendencies. The only possibility I saw was a way to forcibly corrupt Excalibur.
However, even that method was opposed by Seraph, who heard the circumstances. What did they say? Are you saying that equipment with such strong good tendencies wouldn’t be able to accept corruption on its own? If you try to do it clumsily, you’ll end up destroying the hundred. So, from now on, it would be at least possible to steadily accumulate good deeds and change one’s inclinations.
But seeing as he kept glancing at me while he was talking, I guess he said, ‘Just give up.’ I guess that’s what I wanted to say.
“Why don’t you stop admitting it now? You know that. “I am better suited as a master than Eldora.”
I tried to talk to him, but Excalibur didn’t respond at all. No, the sharp energy only got worse. When I tried to gently stretch out my hand, I could feel resistance as if I was going against the water.
For a moment, I thought about throwing him in the poop for a month, but I barely held back and leisurely swept my fingertips over his pure white body. Gently, as if gliding down a woman’s waistline. The more she scanned, the more pain felt like being pricked by a needle all over her palm, but she didn’t care and raised the hilt of her sword, bringing her Excalibur closer.
Hum!
I hated it so much that I felt the blade tremble. It is an incision that is comparable to that of a nongae. I really can’t help but be amazed.
“Well, okay.”
Now that it’s like this, it’s better to just enjoy it rather than complain about it. A gentle sword like Victoria’s Glory is good, but isn’t Excalibur also good in its own way? It’s fun to see resistance, and it’s also fun to take over by force.
Actually, it’s a bit funny to think of something like this about just one knife, but it’s good anyway.
“I look forward to it. “How long will you last?”
I smiled and lightly licked the pure white naked body in front of me.
Ugh… . Ooh, ooh… .
Excalibur shed a sorrowful blackness, like the sobbing of a heroine who was defeated by a villain and enemy of Cheoncheon.

It was as expected. As the central management body officially announced the results, the response from the Northern Continent was enthusiastic. The war, which was already a bit unpleasant, was just whetting their appetite, but when the plan to attack the Central Continent was announced at the right time, they welcomed it with open arms.
In addition, the fact that this time, unlike other expeditions, the conditions for participation were greatly expanded also played a significant role. As much as I drank the honey in Atlanta, it was not unreasonable to be immersed in rosy dreams.
As the situation was like this, the formal meeting of several clan lords went off smoothly and amicably, like a sailboat in a favorable wind. From the beginning, we promised that users of two years or older would unconditionally participate, so ‘we will participate as well.’ I said, ‘You guys give in.’ This wasn’t even a problem.
It’s not just this. The clans currently leading Atlanta all have experience conquering the Steel Mountains. Without any fuss, ‘the strategy of attack will be the same as during the Steel Mountains.’ It didn’t take long to reach that conclusion.
Of course, it wasn’t quite the same as you have to keep in mind the devil, the western continent, and the southern continent.
“Looking at it one by one, it doesn’t seem like we are in a very advantageous situation.”
One load, Seong Hyeon-min, spoke as he neatly organized the records he had diligently taken down so far.
“Even though it’s a monster… . Not to mention the North Continent and Atlanta, which are our home bases, we also need to pay attention to the defense of the supply fortress that connects the attack route. If this happens, our power will naturally be dispersed. However, if you put your mind to it, you will be able to concentrate your efforts in one place.”
Seong Hyun-min’s opinion is correct in every detail. In fact, when the meeting first started, ‘Everyone should go together at once.’ There was also an opinion. There is one advantage. This means that in case of an unexpected situation, you can respond immediately with all your might.
But that’s it. This expedition will take longer than ever before. Because, let alone breaking through the central continent, arriving at the area where the Temple of Promise was located was more problematic.
Starting with breaking the law, the Shadow Zone, the Sword Zone, the Iron Blood Zone, the Holy Zone, the Test Zone… .
Even in the first round, didn’t it take 10,000 elite users 18 attempts to finally reach the temple of promise? It took half a year to simply discover this place.
In other words, it was obvious that it would be a long-term war, not a short-term war, so intermediate supply was essential for this expedition. That’s why there was talk of building a fortress like when conquering the Steel Mountains.
“is it so. The situation is different from the Steel Mountains, so it could definitely be a weakness. But that’s what Mercenary Lord said, right? “Let’s use the warp gate.”
Seonyul flicked her chin with her index finger and shook her head.
The supplementary solution I proposed to Seong Hyun-min’s opinion was that we should also use the warp gate. I had been thinking about this plan since I heard about it from Seraph. If the enemy is using warp, we can use it in the same way.
Of course, there is no Helena now, but there is a source. After checking, I said, ‘You can do it.’ I was able to hear a very clear answer.
If this plan comes to fruition, the situation will greatly benefit us. Actually, I don’t know who will reach the central continent first. However, the enemy is at a military disadvantage due to the aftermath of this war, so he will have no choice but to be cautious in his actions.
Perhaps, after the Northern Continent completes the strategy and obtains the Zero Code, they will make a surprise attack when they return. (The Zero Code does not end when you grab it; it can only be activated through an angel in the Summoning Room.) Temple of Promise. If there were ruins of that size, the damage on our side would have been significant.
however.
What would happen if you set up a warp gate nearby and go straight into it as soon as the strategy is over? I think I’ll probably end up like a dog chasing a chicken.
“If you really don’t have to worry about distance, I’d like to side with Mercenary Road. Because if there are a lot of people, controlling them is annoying, and more than anything, eating and sleeping is work, right?”
As Seonyul shrugged, Seong Hyun-min opened his mouth.
“but.”
But before I could even say anything,
“Oh, an unexpected situation? What’s the problem? You said that it only takes a few minutes to install a warp gate, so all you have to do is hit communication as soon as the enemy appears. In other words, if you have a portal, you can apply right away, right? “You just have to be careful.”
The melody’s words continued for a long time.
“Also, if you finish targeting the area you are assigned to, you can rest while other expedition teams attack. How important is physical fitness during an expedition? Then you can react more quickly to unexpected situations, right?”
“That makes sense. but.”
“Now that I think about it, that’s right. Going all at once? “Then it could be more dangerous to be attacked unexpectedly when everyone is exhausted.”
“The current Magic Top Lord is just an extreme example.”
“Anyway, I don’t want to give up these countless advantages.”
“… Well, I understand.”
In the end, Seong Hyun-min, unable to overcome Seonyoul’s rapid-fire attack, laughed bitterly. In effect, it was a white flag declaration. In fact, the majority of the Clan Lords in attendance agreed with Seonyul’s opinion, so dragging it on any longer would only make the meeting more boring.
Thus, starting from the moment Seong Hyeon-min broke his will, the meeting tentatively came to an end.
After a while, as if they felt the atmosphere of the place becoming empty, various words began to come out from all over the place.
“To summarize, the basic outline of the plan during the Steel Mountains… . Oh, now that I think about it, the Memoria Stone is the problem. “Wouldn’t it be enough to just have something that the Mercenary Clan has?”
“It will probably be airlifted from a small city in the old Northern Continent.”
“Users who cannot participate may protest.”
“It can’t be helped. I have no choice but to ask for your understanding. In fact, I think it would be better if the central management organization took charge of this directly.”
“is that so?”
“That’s right.”
While Han So-young and her older brother, who were sitting on the left, looked at each other and nodded, Lee Hyo-eul, who was quietly watching, cleared her throat awkwardly.
“hmm.”
But maybe it’s because the coughing sound is so quiet. Without looking back at anyone… .
“Hmm!”
It’s not? Did you hear it clearly just now? Am I mistaken if I felt that they were ignoring me on purpose?
“Hey. Anyway, I’m also worried about preparation. “From what I saw, building a fortress was not an easy task.”
“Securing materials is one thing, but securing construction engineers is also a problem. “During the Steel Mountains, there was even competition over this issue, and there was a secret conflict.”
“Then why don’t we just leave this to you as well? “The central management organization secures materials and technicians as a representative and then distributes them equally to each expedition team.”
“oh? Okay, then all we have to do is send the funds… . No, that’s fair. That’s a really good idea. Let’s do that!”
Seo Ji-hwan and Kim Deok-pil, sitting on the right, smiled broadly and nodded.
… Wow, this is a bit too much. In particular, Seo Ji-hwan says he is the Merchant Guild Clan Lord… .
No, Lee Hyo-eul, who had been eavesdropping with a blank expression before, turned pale.
“I… . wait a minute?”
He even raised his hand. But this time, surprisingly, no one showed interest.
“This is my personal opinion, but I hope there will be no unnecessary conflicts during this expedition.”
“No, over there?”
“You are right a hundred times, a thousand times. “If you start creaking before it even starts, it won’t work out.”
“Listen to me. The central management body is currently busy accepting users from the Eastern Continent… .”
Lee Hyo-eul was trying desperately to speak, but for some reason, the noise got louder at some point, so it seemed like she was being naturally buried.
After a while, all eyes in the hall turned to me, as if they had concluded the discussion on their own (?). What’s interesting is that even as he glances at me, the untidy atmosphere is still maintained.
Pushed by that momentum, I unconsciously opened my mouth.
“to… . what… . “Does anyone have any further questions about this plan?”
no!
What. Why are you suddenly speaking together?
“… All right. Well then, let’s end this meeting… . “Can I do that?”
yes
After singing in unison like that, everyone soon stood up in unison. And then someone started rushing out the door as if they had made a promise to catch them.
Surprisingly, the conference hall, which was filled with nearly 100 people, became empty in less than a minute.
Lee Hyo-eul burst into tears.

We will make progress as quickly as possible until we reach the Temple of Promise.
It probably won’t take that long. 🙂
