Paper 142 Remnants of the Red Desert
“How was it?”
Kim Mi-yeon, the head of the guild, asked the Persian corps commander. Even when we were talking on a hologram call, we were respectful, but after a long time we met again and decided to let go.
Of course, it was only Kim Mi-yeon, the head of the association.
“As expected. He is the son of CEO Shin. But were you really this strong?”
Demons live their entire lives in battle to the extent that they are called a combat race. That’s why they are more accurate than any other race in estimating the enemy’s strength.
In particular, in the case of Persia, who has risen to the rank of commander of the corps, the insight related to military force is more special than any other demon tribe.
“I was a no-characteristic appraiser just a few months ago.”
“How many months?”
“I’m getting stronger fast, and I’m climbing the tower. I am following the father’s path. No, it runs much faster than that.”
The commander of the Persian corps looked at the face of the guild leader Kim Mi-yeon.
A look of anticipation and tension appeared on her face. And there were worries.
‘It has no choice but to be like that.’
[Indomitable Tower] is literally indomitable. In the dictionary sense, it was ‘unbending in all difficulties’, and that word was applied to climbers climbing the tower, but it was also a word to describe the tower itself.
The Tower offers opportunities to everyone, but also challenges everyone. And in the end, the climbers are blocked by more and more powerful trials to prevent them from climbing.
“Do you know how high the Knights of the Cold Cold have gone?”
Persia asked.
She was also acquainted with Choi Hye-yeon.
“I’m struggling on the 13th floor. Whether we attack or not, it seems like it will come down soon.”
“okay. It does go up little by little though. Didn’t we struggle on the 13th floor before?”
“… … It was also the last floor I climbed.”
It was only once.
The 13th floor was overflowing with monsters of all kinds of hell, and in order to remove the burning hydra at the end, the power of demons was needed.
At that time, he helped Persia in the [Artisan’s Street] and received help. Street defense battles, Pandaemonium requests, and more.
“I’m going to stay for a few days and educate the dispatched demons and go back.”
“Okay, stop by before you go. [Nocturne]’s movements are unusual these days. American ruins were robbed a few times and there were terror attacks.”
“Was there not often excavation of ruins or terrorism?”
“The frequency has increased dramatically. I sent a ‘memory extraction character’ to this street and got caught. Was there any big movement at Pandaemonium?”
“I’m still keeping an eye on him, but he seems to be moving cautiously. It’s been a while since I’ve taken my eyes off the shadows. We’ll take a look this time.”
“Looks like it’s related to [Kiskov], so take a look.”
“Kiskov? Is this the military industry I know?”
“okay.”
[KISCOP].
It is a company that started a multinational business by smuggling munitions even before there was such a thing as magical power. Recently, guns, tanks, and fighters are the basics, and it is a company that is rapidly growing into a multinational military company by operating a research center related to artifacts and absorbing technology with large donations to various magic towers.
It is probably similar in size to the Samhyeon Group in Korea. It is an incredibly huge company that is ranked in the top 20 in the world.
“Why did Kiskov team up with fanatics like Nocturne?”
“I don’t know. Whether there are mutual needs or public enemies. Will it be one of them?”
Persia groaned.
Nocturne was a group of fanatics of a strange religion that worshiped the gods of the ‘otherworld’, and Kiskov is a well-known company.
I couldn’t imagine the connection between the two.
“Looking into that later, how is the politics in the castle?”
“Actually, I can’t say it’s particularly good.”
Kim Mi-yeon, the head of the guild, and the Persian corps commander strolled the streets having such trivial conversations.

Jihoo held up Buyeo’s seat and admired it.
Definitely beautiful. Also, I feel a sense of ‘gyeong’. It was a raw stone that was not particularly crafted, but it exudes a deep power in itself.
The recent experience has been diverse and it confused Jihoo. However, looking at this Buyeo-seok makes my heart feel at peace.

Undead and inventory.

Mage and witch power.
The witch and the world line.
Now to Buyeosuk.
Jihoo was studying [Synthesis] with [Understanding] recently. The more you do it, the harder it gets. It was not easy because ‘transmutation’ was possible only when theoretical magic and the miracle itself were integrated based on engineering understanding.
After hard work, I entered the 4-star intro, but from now on, the process of changing ‘iron’ to ‘steel’, ‘steel’ to ‘magic iron’, and ‘magic iron’ to ‘titanium’ was absurdly difficult.
Anyway, now I thought I should use that [understanding] for [Witch’s Power].
“Shall we remodel the robe first?”
Just got some good stuff.
That is Buyeosuk.
Because it was the combined power of water’s properties and waves, it gave it a means to resist the [Chlorification] area, the ‘fire of hell’ after the 11th floor.
‘Water magic is a method of absorbing moisture from the atmosphere or the ground, and there is also a method of combining oxygen and hydrogen in the atmosphere for use.’
But the best thing to do is to bring a water tank with you. So, in the case of a water wizard, they fill their subspaces with water.
‘Because there is a difference between quantity and quality.’
Not all water is the same.
Just as an alchemist searches for good metals, a water wizard often visits a spiritual mountain to collect magical water.
Because that was their weapon.
“The biggest problem is storage, but… … .”
It’s not that big of a problem for Jihoo.
Another way is to fill a slot in your inventory with a bucket of water. Previously, the ammunition box and the ammunition were separated, but the metal of the ammunition and the gunpowder were not separated.
Although the standards are ambiguous, it won’t be difficult to fill 100 large-capacity water bottles. Plus, one of the advantages of an inventory is that it doesn’t have to carry weight.
“There is no law that says you must use water.”
It is not necessary to carry a water bottle with you to infuse your magical power with the water attribute. However, the efficiency is abysmal.
If you use it occasionally in a normal field, that’s enough. But on the 11th floor, you have to catch both quality and quantity.
“Shall we use the penental vibrating force field to add water properties to the force field itself? If so, I don’t think I need water and I think I can resist the heat.”
It’s not impossible.
However, there is a reason why water wizards carry water separately.
If the standard of ordinary water is 10, the water imbued with the magical power of Yeongsan can exert various powers from 10 to 100.
The combination of oxygen and hydrogen is 5, the moisture absorbed from the atmosphere or the earth is 7, and the direct conversion of mana is about 20, depending on skill.
‘But this is destructive.’
The water attribute magic used by the water wizard is inevitably important to the amount of water.
If you’re going to fill the properties of the force field with water like Jihoo, the amount doesn’t matter. That’s why it’s not bad to convert magic directly, but considering the power of Yeongsan’s water… … .
“I’m getting greedy again.”
Yeah, you don’t have to give up on one.
have both
Basically, mana is directly converted into water attribute. Water magic is very difficult and requires a long time of skill, but it is different with this endowment stone.
After all, Jihoo was made with [Magic Circuit] and [Setting Intervention].
‘When I’ve got the water, I’ll just take it out and control it.’
In particular, in the case of the 11th floor or higher, it is not a normal flame, but [chlorine]. It would take tons of water to last an hour.
Even water that has been processed and strengthened through magic will evaporate in real time.
Jihoo held the Buyeo stone in his left hand and held Kiliya’s magic pen in his right hand.
with my daughter-
At that time, Miji Kim, an employee in the morning, arrived.
Jihoo was able to start working comfortably.
* * *
It’s lunch time.
Jihoo stretched and got up from his seat.
“I am here!”
It was Heeyeon Lee.
Jihoo called.
“Let’s go, today is the sixth.”
“No- you’re my sixth child again? You’ve seen a lot of delicious things these days. how about pasta The ink cream risotto is also delicious!”
“that’s right. Maybe the meat is salty and bitten off. I want to go get pizza and beer.”
“… … okay.”
Five bites a week is enough. Jihoo didn’t completely agree with the two of them, but it’s true that he’s sorry.
The three of them came to a nearby restaurant.
“I found a ruin.”
“I did it just in case when I called, but it’s true.”
“Ohh- what kind of ruins are these?”
Jihoo handed over the appraisal of the ruins he had seen through [View]. Not just [View], but even a special ability called [Interpretation] was mobilized.
『Remnants of the Red Desert [Desert] [B] [Lv. 06]』
: The tribes of the Red Desert were engulfed in flames when the red dawn fell and burned the monsters, and when the moon rose, they cooled down and promised the next battle.

* [Desert space]

“… … Hey, isn’t this related to the large ruins excavated by the Mercenary Guild at the end of last year?”
Those were the words of Lee Hee-yeon.
Jihoo nodded.
I couldn’t know This is because he also participated in the auction of artifacts excavated from the ruins, and the subspace bracelet he wears on his wrist was also an item excavated from the ruins.
“It seems like that. But then it was Mongolia, and this time it was found down there in a field that used to be Songnisan National Park. I don’t think it would be bad if it was a B-class and medium-sized ruin?”
At Jihoo’s words, the two were lost in thought.
Then Miji Kim opened her mouth.
“Wouldn’t it be two nights if we had time this time too?”
“… … that’s right You can rest for a day or so.”
“I think this would be too much for us to eat by ourselves, given its sheer scale, but we’ll also need an auxiliary team to transport and replenish the artifacts that emerge from within. Even if you think about clearing the boss instead of 100% clearing, you need to increase your strength to break through in 2 days.”
It seems Jihoo didn’t know that well.
Lee Hee-yeon also added.
“Yes, it’s a B-class, but it’s too big for a medium-sized one. It’s just a matter of simple size, but it’s also a problem physically. It’s not that the magic power is infinite. If you fight for half a day, you have to rest at night.”
“… … Hmmm, that’s right.”
“No, but- more than that, we’re really happy about this, right? Who has found the medium type and is worrying about this? I would have made billions just by handing over the information right away.”
Lee Hee-yeon’s words were very reasonable.
However, the three were not at the level of handing over the ruins for billions. If you attack it directly somehow, you can make a profit that will look like aegyo for billions.
“Let’s call Wooyeon Jung and apply for Samhyun’s assistant team. how is it?”
It was Jihoo’s opinion.
Lee Hee-yeon nodded, but Kim Mi-ji shook her head.
“I agree.”
“not me. If it’s a medium-sized dungeon, will it stay still in Samhyeon? somehow No, they will forcefully try to eat the pie. It’s a big company.”
From nob le mt l. co m
Miji Kim’s very natural opinion.
However, Shin Ji-hoo and Lee Hee-yeon couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“… … Why are you laughing?”
“hahahahaha, no, I wonder if we didn’t talk. Sorry sorry.”
Lee Hee-yeon explained simply.
The Samhyeon Group has a close relationship with Kim Mi-yeon, the head of the union, and the word ‘coercive’ can never be used.
Rather, it may be beneficial to receive help and give some away. Even if Chairman Samhyeon came, he wouldn’t think of cheating on Shin Ji-hoo and Lee Hee-yeon, whom the union leader Kim Mi-yeon cares about.
“… … Is that possible?”
From nob le mt l. co m
Miji Kim’s question was natural.
Rather, Shin Ji-hoo and Lee Hee-yeon, who are so confident, must be strange.
Shin Ji-hoo answered the phone right away.
Recently, [Knights of the Cold Cold] were climbing the tower, so Yongpil Oh and Assistant Manager Jinjung Han of [Samhyeon Artifact] almost lived on the streets.
“Yes, chief. I have something to discuss. Are you coming right away? No, not in such a hurry… … . It’s already ahead. All right.”
