Chapter 33
– I found out the approximate information.
– [View (Lv. 04)] is activated!
– Succeeded in browsing an overwhelming level of artifacts!
– Got 300SP.
– A large amount of experience gained.
– Artifacts of Altarca have been discovered.
– Achievement achieved!
– [Those who dig up the secrets of Altarca (rare)]
– [Lesser Gatekeeper of the Temple of Altarka (Rare)]
– Got a total of 550 SP.
I was able to get a lot of experience and SP.
Evaluating properly is the correct answer.
the problem is… … .
“Low level gatekeeper?”
『Altarca’s Lesser Gatekeeper [Gold/Defense] [History] [Lv. 07]』
When I saw the name, I was disappointed.
However, I expected it while looking at the grade and level.
Read the description below.
Description: A low-class gatekeeper who guarded the entrance to the temple of Altarca. It is optimized for defense, and when defending a designated place, the volume of magic power and Black Kirium is amplified by 300%.
* [Upper Intermediate Shape Memory]
* [Advanced Designated Defense Stance]
* [Low AI]
– [Ownership] setting is required.
“… … !”
what should i say about this
It was a new world.
Are there artifacts like this?
What kind of civilization was Altarca, and did they use the modifier [lower class] for an artifact of this level?
Besides, I hadn’t even heard of a magic circuit called [Low AI]. I didn’t even think that such a thing would be possible.
‘I should use this unconditionally.’
how much would it cost if i sold this
I was curious, but I have no intention of selling it.
Although Jihoo has not had a very long career, he has seen numerous artifacts under his father, and he grew up watching artifacts handled by craftsmen of S rank or higher in [Artisan’s Street].
‘I’ve never seen it before.’
Occasionally, there are times when you see artifacts with [Ego] at a level of [Treasure] or higher. But it couldn’t be called ‘artificial intelligence’.
It was not artificial, it was a consciousness that formed naturally. If you have to ask, you can see it as a [spirit].
‘If [View] is artificial intelligence, then it is really artificially created intelligence… … .’
What is the research value of this magic circuit? No, would research be possible? If possible, the circuits obtained from artifacts of this magnitude are already being researched.
Still, if you look at what hasn’t come out on the market yet… … .
‘It must be ignorantly difficult or impossible.’
A smile appeared on Jihoo’s face.
[impossible].
That’s because those words don’t work for Jihoo. There is [Set Intervention Authority], and depending on how you use it, you can make [Disabled] become [Enabled].
It’s difficult, but it’s possible.
It takes a long time, but it can be done.
There is a huge difference from [Impossible].
“… … It’s worth using as a gatekeeper.”
Jihoo looked at the [Indomitable Tower].
The [Knights of the Cold Cold] of the Samhyeon Group started their attack. A guild with that level of skill would not fail.
It may take more than 10 years to complete the total capture, but one day we will be able to complete the complete capture. At that time, the value of the tower will drop to less than half, and the value of [Artisan’s Street] will also decrease.
‘But I don’t think so.’
do you think it will fail?
Not necessarily.
However, it did not seem to be successful. The other towers and the [Indomitable Tower] have different arcs. From the name, it is ‘indomitable’.
indomitable
unbending tower.
never.
‘For some reason, this feeling that I have to prepare for the defense… … .’
Not right away.
It could be months or years later. [The Cold Knights] are famous and strong. Experienced and skilled.
That’s why it will go up to high places without difficulty. But a complete attack? see it as unreasonable
“You should try to use it well.”
The one I coveted the most was that [Low AI].
Jihoo reached out to the low-level gatekeeper.
It is to do [ownership consciousness].
“oh! Hey, wait!”
“… … ?”
Someone waved a hand outside the window.
with very earnest eyes.
* * *
“… … Are you going to stay there?”
Jihoo asked.
The owner ceremony had been held earlier, and the general manager named Anya Taylor, who had seen it, was sitting on one side and staring into space like a person who had lost her mind.
bruise-
Was it that shocking?
It’s Jihoo who turned down the money, but I don’t know why she’s doing this. Or was it that he was sure that he would never turn down that amount of money?
Well, that’s enough confidence.
‘The more I look at it, the more absurd it is.’
there is such a style.
I am sure that I am a smart and confident person, but in reality I am not. A person who tends to strive to be like that.
‘Well, it’s none of my business.’
Jihoo looked at her and looked at the low-ranking gatekeeper in front of her. When she saw this gatekeeper, she called it ‘Dragon Bottle’.
There was such a [Legendary] grade artifact.
As in the tale, if you plant a dragon’s tooth in the ground, a soldier made of dragon children will emerge. Of course, it was not a dragon bottle made of real dragon teeth.
Ayu (亞流).
It was a collaboration between a basilisk mixed with dragon blood and a necromancer who was notorious in Western Europe.
“hand.”
chuck-
Just hold your hand or wait.
“foot.”
chuck-
Feet come up well.
I can’t ‘turn’ and I can ‘sit’.
“What is the standard?”
A very concise command.
It also protects, attacks, and defends.
And there was one important thing.
“Let’s start with a name.”
You can’t continue to be called a gatekeeper, and you look uncomfortable and unfriendly.
I couldn’t tell if I was listening or not. Because there was no face, there was no expression, no movement.
“Let’s call it black. It’s not a dragon, it’s metal, but it looks like it’s there.”
– The name has been set as the owner’s qualification.
– The name is changed to [Black Child].
“Black. All you have to do from now on is to guard this general store. Activate [Advanced Designated Defensive Stance].”
flash-
At those words, the upper part of the face, where the ‘eyes’ of the lower gatekeeper were expected to be, shone slightly. At the same time, I took a look at the general store, and a pale green light covered the general store up to 5 meters outside.
In order to utilize [Low AI], a complete understanding is required. Keep the black child next to you, use it here and there, and watch it.
jerk- jerk-
is 1 m tall.
Spreading her short legs slightly, she stood proudly outside the general store door. Like a statue, without any movement.
“… … .”
Jihoo watched it for a long time.
I couldn’t tell how strong it was or if it would defend well, but the information that appeared [Read] would be reliable.
“… … People still look at me strangely.”
Nothing to worry about.
In these days, if you point to a strange-looking steel frame you’ve never seen in your life and say you’ve built a guard golem, you’ll just say, “That’s right.”
It was then.
“oh! Jihoo!”
It was Heeyeon Lee.
He was dressed in battle clothes, as if he had been to any field, and there were blood scabs everywhere. There was also a large bundle on one shoulder, an artifact with a space expansion circuit.
She approached casually and stepped into the green range set by [Black Child].
– [Black Child]: Discover users who are judged to be enemies!
– [Black Child]: Request permission to attack!
I’m glad I didn’t run away anyway.
“Heeyeon-ah.”
“huh?”
“Can I just do a test?”
“What.”
“Would you like to fight?”
Ji-hoo pointed at the black child standing behind him and said, while Lee Hee-yeon was dumbfounded, but nodded with an expression that she would be having fun.
It seems that she also decided to enjoy it because Ji-hoo does strange things every time.
“Then go?”
“okay!”
That was the moment.
dig-
Salang.
A strong wind blew behind Jihoo, shaking his hair. Perhaps because there was no direct threat to him, [Time for setting] was not activated.
However, it was detected by his [super sense].
Heukah, who was behind, jumped forward, and the destination was Heeyeon Lee.
Quaang-!
heavy crashing sound.
and light dust.
“What is this guy?!”
she asked with a surprised face.
Black-Ah’s arm and her dagger collided and stopped. However, Black didn’t stay still.
Naturally avoiding her dagger, he took a step forward, and when she saw it, she turned around and blocked the way.
“Can I break it?”
“Can you?”
“Can I do it if possible?”
The two had a playful conversation.
Black child constantly attacked.
Quaang!
Quaang-
At first, the black child was pushed.
No, it seemed that way. However, as time passed, Black A didn’t get tired. In addition, the body, which was extremely hard, did not receive a single scratch even if it did not defend itself.
Occasionally, it was beaten and pierced, but it was quickly restored. This is one of the additional features of the [Shape Memory] option.
she frowned.
It seems difficult to deal with.
‘It’s also level 7.’
What the hell is the [Altarka] that used to call such a low-level gatekeeper?
“Hey, this is weird. Almost empty?”
Quaang-!
Besides, his fighting sense doesn’t look bad either.
With [Super Sense] and long experience, he seems to follow her to some extent against her, who is good at hand-to-hand combat and dagger skills.
Could this also be part of [Low AI]?
I’ve seen golems a few times, but this is the first golem that shows such a natural and gentle combat sense.
Anya Taylor seemed to know the gatekeeper’s true identity to some extent, but did she know that she possessed this level of fighting ability?
I got a lot of questions.
“Black, stop.”
pop-
At Jihoo’s words, Black-Ah stood there. No, it froze in place as if stopping a video.
“This is a store. If there is no specific order, judge that there is no hostility.”
jerk- jerk-
Black didn’t even answer, no. He said he had no eyes, nose and mouth, but it was a bit disappointing that he didn’t even give me a nod.
“What the hell did you make this time?”
she asked incredulously.
Then, as if his shoulders were stiff, he turned around to loosen them up, and maybe his wrists were a bit strained, so he bent them backwards and stretched them.
“how was it?”
“this? It was ignorantly different and strong. If it had a weapon or was heavy, I think it would have lost right away?”
“Oh, how about your fighting skills?”
“It wasn’t bad, but there didn’t seem to be anything sophisticated or accumulated experience, and it felt like it was moving as you typed in the shape?”
“Oh, it’s detailed, too.”
Scratching her head, Jihoo started with the black orb she bought from Aunt Miyeon. Of course, it was also said that the characteristics were used to some extent.
“So you’re a gatekeeper after all?”
“yes?”
“It’s too strong for that… … . What is your grade?”
“history. Level 7?”
“Oops! No, you even tied it to the [ownership consciousness]?! have to sell! How much is that! Where are you going to use this!”
She looked at Jihoo with a genuinely pitiful expression.
It’s not like clearing a dungeon or climbing a tower properly. In addition, a [History] level 7 artifact specialized in defense! Besides, it is clear that an artifact with this level of power would be sold at a much higher price than other artifacts of the same level and level.
In addition, the fact that it is an artifact that she and Jihoo have never seen before means that it is terribly rare, and its value is beyond words.
Could it be that while running this small grocery store, they couldn’t even sell it because they needed something like this?
“… … Are you done talking now?”
Her words were rapid-fire.
He pours so much that he can be called a rapper, but there was no time to stop.
“Anyway, the person from the association over there called for 8 billion won.”
“You crazy bastard!”
This anger was sincere.
“Because it will be worth much more than that. do not worry.”
“That is, how is that possible? 8 billion, but 8 billion! It’s a lot of money that I shouldn’t have saved up in my lifetime!”
“… … It’s not your money anyway, it’s my money.”
“That’s right, but… … Yeah, but why am I angry?”
“I know?”
“Kuhm.”
Lee Hee-yeon averted her gaze as if she was embarrassed for nothing.
“Anyway, it’s a shame. What’s the difference between winning 5 lottery tickets and putting them in a frame instead of turning them into money to commemorate it!”
“… … Whoa, the metaphor is great. It really hit me.”
“I’m crazy, really.”
“Still, you were stronger than you thought, right? If I take him to the tower, how many floors will he be able to handle?”
She glared at Jihoo.
He gave supplementary explanations.
“I will only use it as an escort. Give it to defense anyway.”
“It won’t be difficult to hold out on the second floor for now. The problem is on the 3rd floor. You can’t climb a cliff that’s 500 meters above. The 4th floor is also a problem. In a space of trials, only one’s mental strength is important.”
“yes?”
“The 5th floor is like that too. Regardless of force, if you’re dragged to the sandy bottom, you won’t be able to do anything? It is not a place where you can climb simply because you are strong.”
She’s right.
I suddenly became curious.
How high did the [Knights of the Cold Cold] go?
And how many died?
