247 – The Day of the Nymphs and the Day of Boasting # 7
When I looked into the well, there was a slight dimensional crack.
It was a crack so small that even Ari, who has a good sense of sense, could not notice it.
“When did something like this come about? “It doesn’t seem like it’s been around for a long time.”
Zek-.
Seo Ye-rim threw the rocks she picked up in the yard into the well.
A stone that falls into a well and disappears as if it were falling into the entrance of a crack.
Cha Yu-ra said while looking at that scene.
“Seeing as it’s sucking things in, it looks like it’s an inventory-level crack.”
Some Awakened people had inventory abilities, like game characters storing items.
Cha Yu-ra and Seo Ye-rim were like that.
But it turned out that she was opening her own “Small crack” And storing things inside it. That’s a fact I didn’t know either.
Cha Yura said.
“The powerful waves of mana can sometimes bring about or open or close cracks. Perhaps a rift was opened due to the gathering of nymphs or the influx of awakened S-rankers….”
Starting with Nymph’s Day and Chuseok, many S-ranker awakened people flocked to our house. So, did that cause irregular anomalous cracks to form in my yard?
To begin with, this well house was left abandoned like a haunted house due to an open anomalous crack.
Because something like that might happen again nearby, I settled down and patrolled the village every morning.
━Kkeongkeong… !
At that time, Keungkeong barked into the well.
The dog often barked as if it was trying to live up to its name, but it often barked for no reason when it was bored.
But this time there seemed to be a reason.
“Ah! It’s clear that he can feel Pignoy’s presence down there… ! We nymphs can understand the minds of animals to some extent… !”
Oinoi interpreted the cries of Kkongkkungi.
I think it was clear that he sensed something bothering him in that well.
There is a high probability that the piggy bank that Oinoi lost is in that crack that appears to have been created not long ago, right?
I don’t know what process led to that, but it was enough of a reason for us to explore that anomalous crack.
Anyway, various measures had to be taken after the crack was discovered.
Fortunately, there were three S-rankers in this place who could make and execute decisions and operations.
“Should we let the bees in first? “Milmil, go.”
Dang So-hae, the youngest of the S Rankers, carefully released the pumpkin bee he was holding into the well.
Then the pumpkin bee, like a great drone, descended and entered the crack.
I recalled the fact that Tang So-hae became an S ranker by freely handling pumpkin bees and improving his skills through various cancer techniques.
The colony of amber bees raised by feeding Sacheon Dangmun’s special Danghuru is not only extremely powerful, but each individual is said to have mysterious abilities.
“Now that Milmil has entered, we will soon be able to find out the situation inside.”
From noble mtl dot com
「Pumpkin Bee – Milmil(蜜蜜)」 Is said to be a pumpkin bee that specializes in scouting and exploration.
Has it been about 5 minutes since Milmili went down the well and entered the crack?
“It’s not coming out. Is something happening inside?”
Tang Xiaohai tilted his head.
Seeing that scene, Seo Ye-rim sighed.
“When I heard that the bee girl had become an S ranker, she was honestly skeptical. Are you really an S ranker? It’s somewhat clumsy. In China, the review process is lax, so trust is not easy….”
“… “Don’t ignore the bees!”
As Tang So-hae became angry, the bees around him buzzed and flapped their wings violently.
I also thought it would be good to say something here.
“Yes, ignoring bees is a bad thing. And now is not the time to fight or confront each other, but to join forces to solve problems. “I think it would be a good idea for one of us to come down and see for ourselves.”
Someone has to come down─.
Even though I said that, I had already mentally prepared myself to go down into the crack.
This is the house I live in.
I have a duty to resolve the matter.
“Senior, wouldn’t it be too dangerous?”
Perhaps because he had a kind heart, Ari, who was worried and anxious, grabbed my collar.
Of course, since the anomalous crack that suddenly appeared was truly an anomaly, there could have been threatening variables or risks.
But we can’t just leave it like this.
If someone needs to do something, I should do it.
“Then everyone is waiting. “I’ll go in.”
Drurruk-.
I installed a pulley in the well and slowly descended on the rope.
# # #
Zwooung-.
As I approached the crack, I felt as if it was sucking me in. It was similar to the feeling of putting your hand or leg into a vacuum cleaner that was turned on strongly.
When I came to my senses, the unpleasant feeling of my organs turning over disappeared and I felt the cool floor.
It was a stone floor.
“A stone building?”
I realized that I was sitting down in a stone building.
I looked around to see if it was a crack of the type commonly found in old temples or abandoned ruins, but this place seemed to be close to an old castle.
“Is this a hallway?”
━Kkeongkeong… !
A dog appeared behind me and barked.
It probably means it’s nice to meet you.
It seemed like Kungkung followed me into the crack.
━Kkeongkeong… !
It seemed like the snake was crawling up my ankle and up to my shoulder, then it jumped up and ran somewhere ahead of me.
I followed Kenggeng through the hallways of this old castle, and after turning a few corners, I found myself in a lobby with a red carpet instead of a cold stone floor.
It was a very wonderful place.
A chandelier was shining on the ceiling, and magnificent-looking silver armor and stone statues resembling devils were placed on the stairs.
“It’s a medieval-style castle. Isn’t this a type of crack we’ve never seen before in Korea? “I heard that this type of rift is usually only seen in European countries like the UK.”
Well, well-.
The word ‘absolutely’ was not used when it came to cracks.
There are still many secrets that humanity has not revealed.
“It won’t move suddenly or anything…” .”
I looked at the stone statues that resembled devils and carefully tapped or touched them with my hands.
Knock-.
Usually, if there is a stone statue in a place like this, it is the national rule to move it.
I often saw British S ranker Kira in MeTube videos.
“If you’re going to move, move now.”
However, the stone statue did not even move, perhaps because it was just a stone statue.
Was I being too cautious?
━Kkeongkeong… !
Grrr-.
At that time, the dog that was sitting on my shoulder ran somewhere. I walked down the hallway again with Kungkung, and he was standing on what looked like a bookshelf and jumping around.
“What’s wrong?”
━Kkeongkeong… !
Jump, jump.
You’re running wild.
If you listen to “Children’s Song – Squirrel,” It sings about a squirrel jumping around, and that’s exactly what the dog squirrel Kkeongkeongi looks like now.
It’s really jumping up and down.
“Are you hungry?”
━Crumbling… !
I don’t think it’s because I’m hungry.
I am a former dog squirrel who has had experience as a dog squirrel myself.
What Kungkyung wants to say now is….
“So there’s space behind this bookshelf?”
━Kkeongkeong… !
I pulled the bookshelf with all my might.
Rattling, rattling, rattling-.
With a little force, the bookshelf pulled open like a door, revealing the space behind it.
It was a “Secret passage.”
“I saw Kira a lot on MeTuber. It was said that there was a secret passage in this type of crack. And I heard there are quite a few traps in these secret passages….”
Jjorrr-.
Kungkung took the lead again and went through the secret passage.
I followed behind him, but the passage became narrower and narrower, so I had to crawl.
But the hard work was worth it.
“Wow.”
I faced a sight full of shiny gold coins.
There were literally piles of treasures, including gold coins, jewels, and various precious-looking artworks and jars.
“Oh, is this a true story…?” !? “This is a ‘treasure warehouse’!”
It occurred to me that there is a very slim chance of finding a treasure room or warehouse full of treasure in a crack in this type of castle!
I can’t believe I discovered it!
“I discovered a treasure trove!”
━Kkeongkeong… !
Yes.
Actually, what I discovered was quite simple.
Anyway!
“How much is this?”
I don’t know the exact price, but it seemed like I wouldn’t have to worry about money for the time being. In order to aim for S rank, I needed to have a lot of equipment, so I had to save up a lot of money.
S rankers basically have at least one national relic level equipment, right?
That was the reason why there were so many rich people among S rankers.
You can’t become an S ranker unless you’re rich.
“Am I finally going to purchase the “Superconducting Blade” That only S Rankers use?
━Koiiiiin-.
“Huh?”
At that time, I heard a strange sound in my ears.
It was like the roar of an animal.
When I turned my head, I saw something sticking out of the pile of gold coins.
It was struggling like an animal’s butt.
The color was plump and red, and the Korean word “Oinoi” Was written crookedly in yellow.
It looks somehow familiar.
I slowly reached over to the pile of gold coins and pulled its butt, just in case.
Then a red piglet struggled in my grasp.
━Koiin-!
“No, what is this again…” .”
It looked like Oinoi’s piggy bank.
It feels like a piggy bank too.
But it was moving and squirming hard like a living animal.
“I don’t know what it is, but I have to take him out first. Usually, these types of cracks have an escape route that is always open even if the core or the monster at the center of the crack is not dealt with….”
━Kkeongkeong… !
Kira was trying to recall the knowledge he had seen on MeTube, and Kkungkkeng ran off somewhere again.
I placed the animal that looked like a piggy bank on my side like a rugby ball and followed behind it.
━Boo, boom, boom.
Then I discovered Dangsohae’s honey bee, Milmili.
It seemed that Keongkeongi had tracked down Milmili.
Milmili was flying in the shape of an eight in front of a small door.
“Is that the exit?”
Kkeik-ik-.
When I opened the old wooden door with all my might, a church-shaped room full of dimensional shimmers, like a portal, appeared.
Long chairs were arranged horizontally, and on the central platform was a large cross, with devil-shaped gargoyles sitting on either side of it as if guarding it.
It looks exactly like the stone statues that did not move.
━Koiiiiin-.
The pig hanging on my shoulder cried.
Then the demon statues’ eyes glowed red.
“Somehow I thought it was too easy.”
