Episode 80 Gate Management Office.
The young man in shiny armor wrinkled his face.
“So, why not?”
The official in charge of the B-class gate, ‘The Minotaur’s Labyrinth,’ showed a troubled look.
“You already told me. Because of the fatal accident that happened last week… … “Are you asking because I don’t know that now?
Why are you acting so tight while you know it?”
“It is a safety crackdown period. If there is not enough staff, it is difficult for me to give permission.”
Civil servants were to die for. The gate where the fatal accident occurred is subject to a safety crackdown for a week. In other words, it is to prevent accidents by increasing the number of people entering the gate or the level… … The young man in front of him was reckless.
“I put in a little more than usual. okay?”
”What is this!”
The public servant looked around in amazement at the white envelope the young man suddenly presented.
A newcomer who came in a while ago was looking at him with wide eyes.
“Hey, you shouldn’t be like this.”
“It’s not good, Moose, I’ve received it well so far.”
“Being in charge of the gate is originally this kind of fun. right?”
The middle-aged civil servant’s face turned red at the young man’s blatant words. As he said, it’s not a day or two, but what kind of disgrace is this in front of a rookie?
But it’s spilled water anyway.
The public servant’s conscience became as thin as the thick white envelope.
“… … How is your team structure now?”
“Ten people including me.”
“Ten people?”
“Five B-levels and five C-levels. Why, is there a problem?”
Of course there is. In the Bucheon Terminal Guild, which was the party to the accident that happened just last week, 10 C-class hunters participated in five B-class hunters, and what happened to them was extensively published on the front page of the local newspaper.
[A disaster caused by a poor raid.]
[Bucheon Terminal Guild Leader, Actively participate in the Hunter Association investigation.]
Ten people in this situation. It was the moment when the civil servants were in conflict.
“Mister, wait a minute.”
A smile appeared on the young man’s face, who had been pecking at him with a stern face until just now.
“Anyway, the numbers have to be roughly matched. right?”
“Ah, yes. That’s good.”
“then… … Let’s put them on and go It looks good.”
The official followed the young man’s finger and turned his head. I saw five men and women who had just entered the prison camp.
‘Two middle-aged men. two young guys and… … One stunning beauty.
Judging from the young man’s gaze, it was obvious without looking at what the ulterior motive was.
“Now is it?”
The official who finished the calculation quickly picked up the envelope.
“No problem.”
The middle-aged civil servant kindly explained the situation.
The fact that it was a safety crackdown period and that there were quite a few guilds that were delayed due to that. Even the fact that with our current staff, we had to either seek mercenaries or join other guilds.
“You are lucky. There are people from the Sangdong guild waiting, but only five are short.”
“How long will it take to enter the gate if we join?”
“If you come in, we can take care of it right away.”
Then we thank you. Team leader Choi, the actual decision maker, nodded without saying anything.
“Then good.”
At the time Deacon Kim, who was in charge of the guild, signed the contract, there was an interrupting voice.
“nice to meet you. My name is Lim Chang-soo, who is in charge of the team leader of the Sangdong Guild.”
Contrary to his soft voice, he has a fairly sturdy physique.
Confidence that could not be hidden came out of his appearance as he strode forward.
‘Same Dong Guild is worth it.’
The Sangdong Guild is one of the top five guilds in the vicinity of Bucheon, with more than 20 B-class hunters belonging to it.
At most, he looks like he’s in his late 20s, but his job title is team leader. He is not in a position to go up to the go-stop.
‘He’s a one-way guy.’
The raised [Feeling] that followed changed his guess into certainty.
[Lv.65 Lim Chang-soo]
But why does the name sound familiar?
Where did you hear it?
While I tilted my head, Butler Kim greeted me.
“hello. I am Kim Hwa-jong of the Peace Guild.”
We know that he is the leader of the pants guild, called Deacon Kim, Mister Kim, Hyung Kim, etc.
Lim Chang-soo responded with a bright smile.
“Aha, Peace Guild. I’ve heard the name a lot.”
Lim Kkeok-jeong and Songi, who were standing next to each other, whispered.
“Miss Song, how long has it been since our guild was created?”
“hmm. Maybe two weeks?”
“What about Reid? Did you do a lot?”
“What are you saying, I haven’t even started remodeling the guild house. This is our first official raid.”
When you’re a B-class hunter, you can hear everything no matter how small you say it. Lim Chang-soo turned his head toward the two.
“Who are these people?”
“These are our guild members.”
His gaze passed the two of them.
A little while for Lim Kkeok-jeong, and a little longer for Songi.
“okay. I said something useless, haha.”
“you’re welcome.”
“Anyway, this is also a fate, but since we have become a team, please take good care of us.”
“Okay, then we’ll change into gear and come back.”
“I’ll wait in front of the gate.”
Team leader Choi stared at Lim Chang-soo’s back with a serious face as he left with his shiny chain armor.
“That person… …
“Is there something wrong?”
“The equipment is limited edition. It is very difficult to obtain.”
uh, yes It looks expensive.
Hunter is an enviable profession. Because they are the guardians who saved mankind from cataclysm… … Maybe it’s because it makes a lot of money.
Needless to say, I, who was the lowest level hunter, lived hard and earned more than 100 million won a year.
‘The problem is that there is a lot of money going out.’
Equipment accounts for the largest portion of expenditure.
Basically, the magic stone is included, so no matter how cost-effective, the money is bound to be shattered. In addition, constant maintenance and repair costs in case of damage.
Apart from tearing my heart, my bank account is tearing apart.
‘Equipment-related insurance didn’t come out for nothing.’
In that sense, Choi is the best employer.
Because they rent high-end equipment for free.
Dol Dol Dol
Choi, who entered the locker room with a suitcase, called us.
“Each of them has picked out the best ones for their positions. Take one.”
It is a small suitcase that can only be used for short trips. Lim Kkeok-jeong muttered with a disappointed face.
“Looks like you don’t have mine.”
The corners of Choi’s mouth went up.
“It can’t be. If you know what this is, you will be surprised… … .”
“Uh, this is a carrier enchanted with space expansion.”
You got it right.
For a moment, my smile was blurred by my accurate prediction. Team leader Choi, who quickly regained his composure, opened his mouth again.
“That’s right. A space expansion carrier made by Company K. Nicholas, known as the best craftsman in North America?
rattle!
“Wow, that’s true! Taehyung, look at this.
The inside is so wide!”
“I see.”
“In addition, the world’s leading designers participated… …
“Hey, this is the first time I’ve seen this. Can I just go in and sleep?”
“If you close the suitcase, you won’t be able to come out until someone opens it.”
“is it?”
“The product is always kept in the best condition through proper temperature and ventilation… … “Clap, clap.
“This is so cool. How is it, do I look good?”
“It’s perfect. I thought it was a tailored suit.”
“You are cool too. what is that?”
“A black drake leather set? No, it’s a leather set.”
“okay? It must be good because it’s Team Leader Choi’s. hahaha! Thank you, Chief Choi!”
“…… It was nothing.”
Team leader Choi, who had completely lost his will to fight, was powerlessly changing his equipment, and I checked the equipment he was wearing one by one.
‘Check the item.’
belt ring.
[Artisan’s Black Drake Leather Set]
Type: Armor Grade: Climax Effect: Strength, Stamina, Agility, Agility +10 Description: An armor set made from the leather of a B-rank monster Black Drake.
You can feel the hand of a great craftsman.
– A full set effect is being applied.
[Artisan’s Black Thorn Spear]
Type: Spear Grade: Climax Effect: 90% chance of [Bleeding] when hitting an enemy Description: A spear made from the vertebrae of a B-rank monster Black Drake. Very hard and sharp at the same time. You can feel the hand of a great craftsman.
After checking, there is only one thought.
‘It’s crazy.’
From armor that grants 40 points just by wearing it, to a spear that can kill you with excessive blood loss.
Just looking at the item information, I could see that it was an enormous effect.
‘This is a tempo.’
Tears cover my eyes as I suddenly recall my memories in Moorim.
The armor was made of horns and soft pieces of cloth, and dozens of cheap spears were broken. Moorim people are the essence of hard-boiled, real men.
“Maybe it’s a luxury product, so the feeling is definitely different.”
Looking around, Lim Kkeok-jeong with a flushed expression was jumping up and down in place.
“It’s so light, and it seems like my body has gotten faster. Is it because of my mood?”
“I don’t think so.”
Could it be because of my mood? It’s the equipment Team Leader Choi prepared for Lim Kkeok-jeong, a D-class hunter, and of course it’s good, right?
‘Shall I check it out?’
Just as I was about to put my hand on the full plate mail that Lim Kkeok-jeong was wearing, team leader Choi approached me with equipment before I knew it.
“If you are ready, let’s go.”
“What about Deacon Kim?”
“I am the guild leader outside.”
Butler Kim laughed at Team Leader Choi’s directing at me.
“It’s fine. And… I’m always in gear.”
Unbuttoning the suit along with the horse revealed bracelets and necklaces on both wrists.
Of course, it is not an ordinary ornament.
A necklace studded with magic stones and a bracelet engraved with strange yet beautiful patterns.
“Artefact?”
“This is more comfortable than a cane.”
Deacon Kim answered modestly, but it is rare for wizards to wear such simple costumes.
It is common to carry light armor or a staff for self-defense to increase the survival rate.
‘Well, he’s not an ordinary wizard.’
If you say you are from the Ares Guild, everyone folds a number and goes in.
Suddenly, I was curious about Deacon Kim’s past, but the next moment, my doubts were cleared away.
smart
“Guys. Are you still far away?”
“Ah, preparations are complete.”
Songi’s voice came from outside the locker room. As soon as Choi answered, the door opened gently.
“Go quickly. People will be waiting.”
“omg.”
Long straight hair tied up in a tight ponytail. I swallowed my breath at the sight of her wearing light, tight-fitting leather armor.
‘Can a person be this pretty?’
It’s not a bean pod, it’s the truth.
You can tell just by looking at Lim Kkeok-jeong, who has been treating her cute nephew until now, swallowing saliva.
gulp.
I must be careful with this man.
Anyway, Lim Kkeok-jeong is at this level, but there is nothing to say about the others.
It’s clear that a bunch of guys who want to be a little younger and have a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of It’s clear.
‘For example, Lim Chang-soo or Lim Chang-soo. Or Lim Chang-soo… …
Lim Chang-soo. The young team leader of the Sangdong Guild.
His face has been flickering in front of my eyes ever since.
‘It’s definitely a face I’ve never seen before.’
however… … why do you care so much Is it because the child seems to be interested in Songi?
“What are you doing? It doesn’t come out.”
“Ah yes.”
Thoughts didn’t work. At Lim Kkeok-jeong’s urging, I hurriedly left the locker room.
