Paper 140 A New Hunting Ground
Director Kim Mi-yeon calmly looked at the magic hologram. It was the face of a demon against the background of the majestic city of Pandemonium and the Demon Castle.
– It’s a pity. I wanted to keep a good relationship on the street.
“The commander of the Persian Legion. If it’s not a contract that guarantees proper compensation and safety, mines won’t be able to come and go on this street anymore.”
There are not many people who respect the union leader Kim Mi-yeon. Whether it’s the president of the Samhyeon Group or the president of the association, no matter what SS-rank Hunter comes, he’s younger than her, and he’ll have less influence and status than her.
Rather, a new person regardless of grade. I would have done it if I had been respectful to an old man passing by.
But Persia is different.
she knows
It was because the opinions of the government, Pandemonium, and the union were important in order to dispatch Mine to the streets.
And that’s not all. We have helped each other a few times in the past. Usually, that’s enough to let go or be comfortable with it.
However, even with such acquaintances, the one who had to be polite was the commander of the Persian corps in front of him.
-It’s a reward… … . 3rd class mage. Two level 2 demons were reverse summoned. It won’t happen for at least 2 years. It doesn’t do any damage at all. But asking for compensation… … I’m very sorry.
“I am courteous to you, Persia, because I think we are on friendly terms, and I trust that there will be no harm to the streets. You know why.”
At the words of the union leader, Miyeon Kim, Persia shut her mouth and waited. Then, after taking a look at the panoramic view of Pandaemonium, he opened his mouth.
-I know. You and Prosecutor Shim Ji-yeol. I received a lot of help from CEO Shin. The fact that I can be in the position of commander of the corps is thanks to the combination. But don’t forget that I also played a part in keeping the distance.
It was once.
It was a time when demons and humans had to fight for a common enemy, and because of that, camaraderie was born before enmity.
“I am not asking for outrageous loyalty using that time as an excuse. One of the mines under your command preemptively attacked our union members and was counterattacked.
– It wouldn’t have happened for no reason.
“They said they felt the power of witches.”
– It was worth attacking. don’t you know
“It was the power of the artifact. Like my Kevin.”
-… … under. That’s our mistake. But can’t you understand how much Mine suffered from witches and why?
It’s not that I don’t understand that.
Because witches, demons, and demons could not be together under the same sky.
Kim Mi-yeon, the head of the union, thought for a while before opening her mouth.
“The union member Mine attacked is the son of President Shin.”
-… … ?
“It has been confirmed that he has similar characteristics to President Shin, and of course he is also the 3rd largest shareholder in our union.”
At the words of Guild Leader Kim Mi-yeon, the Persian corps commander wiped his face. The female demon with long black hair and purple skin sighed.
-Why are you talking about that important thing now? No, if you said that from the beginning, you took action a long time ago.
“So now I am telling you. Son of the CEO. The characteristics of Shin Ji-hoo must not be revealed yet.”
-I know that. Still I… … . So anyway, I get it. I will send you an appropriate reward. No, I’ll go myself. If so, Mine won’t have an accident, right?
The Persian Legionnaire said so.
Kim Mi-yeon, the head of the union, smiled as if she was satisfied.
Then he put his index finger to his mouth and said.
“Another demon. In particular, you shouldn’t know Hellkrsen. You know?”
-of course. We’ll be leaving soon.

Jihoo looked at the auction house.
It’s hard to see it even in the system auction house from level 8 onwards. Up to level 7 is occasionally seen, but levels 8 and 9 are very rare, so you have to find event auctions that happen once or twice a year even in offline auction houses.
Or, it is something that only comes out when you hear the news that ancient ruins have been excavated somewhere.
‘Not to mention the level above it.’
From now on, the request won’t work, so it might be best to get the materials yourself.
“That ghost horse was amazing.”
It looked like a ghost horse with [Advanced Acceleration] and [Advanced Blink]. With that much intelligence, it will take care of itself and move in the optimal path.
neither attack nor evasion.
There is a flying artifact, but you cannot fly from the 10th floor stairs. The only thing that can replace it is a ride.
From the entrance of Hell on the 11th floor to the 13th floor, fire resistance is the most important. It was difficult to even survive with the simple warming option, because it was a hellish environment.
“No, no.”
Not on the auction house.
There are trained monsters in typical mounts, and among them, there were monsters in the form of energy that were not spirits, but were classified as spirits.
It’s like a ghost horse.
Other than that, there are undead, but they haven’t become popular yet. Of course, it’s because it’s hard to control unless you’re a black magician.
Refined magic was just as dangerous.
‘This time, the black thorn slime underground dungeon was also activated, so some money came in, and there was also an auction house… … About 42 billion gathered.’
That’s a lot of money.
It was an amount I could never have imagined just a few months ago. But now it was a sum of money for a few decent ingredients.
This is because the price of an artifact rises exorbitantly in proportion to its grade.
‘Right now, it’s difficult to ride, so I’ll have to gather useful materials for now.’
System auction house shopping is more fun than you think.
There are many things I can buy because I have a lot of money, and there are many unique and diverse things, so my interest has risen.
“huh? Dig up the corpse.”
Certainly, as awareness of black magic increased, it seemed that items related to black magic were also being uploaded at the auction house.
‘Death Knight’s corpse, level 5 to 7. Hey- level 5 is 5 billion and level 7 is 12 billion?’
Death Knight is definitely expensive.
Well, seeing him fight alongside Black Ah made it worthwhile. Since they showed swordsmanship on a completely different level from other undead, there was a big difference in actual strength aside from the difference in ability level.
There’s even the Magi Blade.
It must be a great power.
‘There are undead horses similar to ghost horses, but they are level 4 to 5, so it’s a pity to buy them.’
Refined magic is also sold.
Jihoo suddenly remembered something, so he searched for [witch].
“… … Witch Kimbap. No, why is this coming out?”
Jihoo scrolled up.
[Pretty Witch’s Beginner Potion Set]
[Pretty Witch’s Starter Scroll Set]
.
.
.
It was a nickname.
When I went in, it was a normal potion and a normal scroll, nothing special. This is how you brand yourself.
“uh?”
There was one name that caught my eye then.
[Witch’s Robe].
I went right in.
It was some appraised item.
『Witch’s Robe』
The name was this.
There were several pictures.
‘It’s an old brown robe, it looks pretty sturdy, and the gold embroidery seems to be part of the magic circuit.’
There was no content.
There is only one comment attached.
– This is an unidentified artifact. I got it from a magic dungeon, but it only had a name tag. I requested an appraisal from a grade A appraiser, but it failed. It’s from a grade A dungeon, so I’m posting it at 100 million won.
A grade A appraiser’s failure.
one of three
Whether it’s something that’s really nothing, or something special that’s rated [History] or higher. Or it was a high-grade item, but it was broken.
‘Still, 100 million is worth living.’
It wouldn’t be a waste if it just had the name [Witch]. In the past, I would have thought about it for days, but now I have enough funds to not do that.
‘Let’s go for now.’
Then guests started to arrive.

As customers came and left once, Jihoo was contemplating how to get to the 11th floor.
“What are you so worried about?”
From nob le mt l. co m
Miji Kim asked while dusting things.
“Now we have to go through the 9th and 10th floors.”
“Are you on the 9th floor already?”
“I thought I could get a lot of useful materials on the 11th floor.”
“… … .”
Jihoo said it without thinking, but it doesn’t seem like that to Miji Kim. After thinking for a moment, she opened her mouth.
“You won’t need me anymore.”
“… … ?”
“I just got 5 stars. It takes at least 5 years to become 6 stars, usually 10 years.”
She’s right.
For a 5-star wizard, the 8th floor is quite high. It’s a place you shouldn’t go to if it weren’t for Jihoo and the spirit knight and black child.
“I didn’t think of that.”
“No, of course.”
Jihoo began to think again.
And I realized
‘It must have been my greed.’
The reason why Heeyeon Lee was brought here. Also asking Kim Mi-ji to accompany her. It was Jihoo’s greed.
I did gift them.
It is only up to the 8th floor.
‘I’m using a cheat key, but other people don’t.’
It makes no sense that Lee Hee-yeon and Kim Mi-ji are active on the 8th floor right now. Just a few months ago, they were active on the 5th and 6th floors.
If it was at the level of military power now, it would be able to somehow break through to the 9th and 10th floors. On the 9th floor, if there are flight artifacts and mental protection artifacts, the possibility is sufficient, and the 10th floor is a test of one’s own perseverance and physical ability, so there is no danger of dying.
But not on the 11th floor.
‘Because Cerberus, the boss of the 11th floor, was level 13, and other monsters are also level 8 to 10.’
Ji-hoo is also difficult.
But if you have time, it’s enough.
Because he had something called SP.
‘I think we need to have a meeting.’
That evening, the three of them had a meeting.
But the answer came easier than expected.
“Why do you have to go to the top? There are many dungeons and fields around.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
At Lee Hee-yeon’s words, Ji-hoo and Kim Mi-ji had nothing to say.
“Me and Miji are hunting after all. Earn money as a by-product to upgrade your equipment, gain experience and improve your skills, and you don’t have to be limited to the top.”
Jihoo nodded.
‘I insisted on being top because of the SP, but I don’t have to. For now, the first step is to complete the equipment.’
Survival SP is salty.
But going up to the next floor is much better. Time is limited, and if you kill stronger monsters, it’s not difficult to get thousands or tens of thousands of SPs without having to wait for days.
In that sense, finding a dungeon is a good way.
“There is no need to be limited to dungeons.”
Those were Jihoo’s words.
But it was also something I could understand.
Lee Hee-yeon and Kim Mi-ji tilted their heads.
‘I just have to excavate the ruins myself.’
ruins.
It can be seen as an ancient heritage from hundreds or thousands of years ago. Of course it wasn’t on Earth. Like other dungeons, fields, towers, and cracks, it is one of the spaces that naturally permeates the earth.
There are so many types that it is not easy to categorize them, but one of the most frequently discovered types is the ruins of [Altarca].
It doesn’t have to be there.
There’s a lot to be gained from any relic.
The question is ‘how’.
There is no way.
Because Jihoo had an SP.
* * *
A few days passed.
The way Jihoo came up with was to make a [remains detector]. Or [doors leading to ruins] or [compass to find ruins].
This should be made purely with SP.
‘The compass costs the least amount of SP.’
It also required 20,000.
If you made a compass to find [Altarca Ruins] based on the energy of Black A, 10,000 would have been enough, but if there were no Altarca Ruins nearby, it would be a waste of SP, so I made a compass that applies to all [Ruins].
“Hmm.”
Jihoo raised a golden compass that fits comfortably in the palm of his hand. Since a heavy option had to be included, the compass itself was also purchased as an expensive one.
『Ruins Compass [Detection] [Rare] [Lv. 07]』
function is nothing special.
It was all about pointing in the direction of the ruins. The advantage is that it points to the nearest ruin no matter how far away it is. It may not happen, but it can be detected even outside the Korean peninsula.
But the downside is the same.
No matter how far away it is, it only points in the direction.
“It’s down there. It would be nice to be on the Korean Peninsula.”
Relics are not so easy to find. Although the size and danger of the ruins are important, when even a small ruin is discovered, all kinds of media, guilds, and companies flock to it.
because?
because it makes money
After work, Jihoo drove the car and ran towards the direction the compass was heading. And after about three hours, I could see the needle of the compass turning.
