105. Chapter 105
-The constellation ‘Crow with Head Down’ is interested.
In fact, it was half a gamble.
Even if Seun was a regressor, the master key was an item that had only been rumored.
Not to mention what it looked like, I wasn’t even sure if a master key actually existed.
And now. Finally, the time has come to check the identity of the ‘Little Key’.
“A beautiful key. But don’t you think the size doesn’t fit at all?”
The lock was only the size of an adult male head. In comparison, the key Sewoon was holding was the size of a little finger, befitting its name.
Considering the principle of the key, it is a size that does not fit common sense.
Even so, Sewoon inserted the key into the keyhole of the lock.
and.
Ssik-
A smile formed on Seun’s face.
The moment I put the key in, I felt the key fit perfectly despite the difference in size.
Let’s move our wrists immediately, clap! I heard the sound of something fitting.
“Oh, how amazing!”
As usual, the lock opened.
No matter how long it had been closed, when I opened the door, I could hear the scratching of the joints between the ground and the ceiling, and a grinding noise.
-The constellation ‘Crow with Head Down’ opens its eyes wide.
-If the constellation ‘Crow with Head Down’ is the key, he shouts that he can rob numerous safes sleeping in the tower.
-The constellation ‘Crow with Head Down’ begins to think of where to use the key.
When the door opened, reddish light instead of light magic flowed out.
Looking inside, several torches hung on the walls were flickering and lighting up the space.

Judging from the condition of the door, it looked like it had been out of maintenance for a long time, but judging from the fact that the torch was still on, it must have been magically treated as well.
“Can’t monsters come out inside?”
“Probably nothing like that.”
Before returning, Seun, like a famous explorer, found numerous hidden spaces.
With just a cursory look around, I could tell that this room was someone’s residence.
And usually, the placement of traps or watchdogs in residences was extremely rare.
Because of this, Sewoon stepped into the door without hesitation, with minimal vigilance.
‘Here… … .’
What kind of people would have lived there?
Looking around, there were specimens of various insects on display, such as butterfly wings and beetle carapaces.
The bodies of the monsters were rotting on what appeared to be an experiment table, and the bookshelves were filled with books written in difficult words.
“oh! What ores! Could that be a reward?”
Ko Chang-seok’s eyes twinkled when he saw the ore piled up in the corner of the room.
It was a great ore that didn’t fit the floor, but it didn’t seem like a reward to Seun.
First of all, I took out the book and listened to it, but it was a language that was difficult to interpret even with Seun’s knowledge.
There was no choice but to be embarrassed because Sewoon had mastered the language that existed in the tower.
At that time, Mamon, who was interested in the key, sent a message.
-The constellation ‘Crow with Head Down’ laughed quietly, saying that he hadn’t seen the language of the Berhel Continent in a long time.
It was Mamon who wasn’t interested unless it was a treasure he wanted, but for some reason, he gave Seun a hint without paying anything.
It’s a bit strange, but as Sewoon now, I was grateful for the hint and took care of it.
‘The Berhel Continent?’
It is a name that does not exist in memory before returning.
However, after returning, it was a name I had heard before.
Why?
– Opened the treasure house of greed.
[History of the Berhel Continent]
– A history book of the Berhel Continent, which was once more beautiful than any other place, but collapsed due to a great war.
A list of treasures in the warehouse that I went through nightly to use the treasures I needed for the situation I needed. It was because the name of the Berhel Continent was among them.
I don’t know why these things were in Mamon’s treasure house, but Seun immediately tried to use them.
Then the knowledge of the continent that had already collapsed dug into his head.
12 races with nature. The demons and gods they worshiped. The spread of war due to conflict, etc.
‘If it’s a demon god, is it Mamon?’
A variety of knowledge came to mind, but Sewoon immediately shook his head.
Although they used history books, what they needed now was not the history of an unknown continent.
‘see.’
Right away, the language of the Berhel continent.
As expected, as soon as the treasure was used, the esoteric characters written on the book began to be interpreted little by little.
[ Insect breeding method ]
[ Growth promoter ]
[About the head of the colony]
[Rising Sun God]
…
It was mostly about bugs.
Even without opening the contents of the book, it was possible to know the occupation of the person who lived here.
insect breeder.
I don’t know why, but it seems that various bugs were collected and bred here.
As I pulled out some books, I saw a small drawer under the bookshelf.
He also saw a small keyhole.
clap.
In front of Seun’s key, which had already revealed the power of the master key, it opened lightly without any resistance.
“This… … .”
[ Stone Flute ]
Category: Instrument
Grade: B-
Description: A specially crafted instrument for summoning something (available in trials on the 5th floor)
ability : ??
An instrument made of stone.
I wanted to use something like this, but the moment I read the item description, I immediately figured it out.
‘It’s a quest item.’
While resolving the ordeal, it was extremely rare to find such a quest item.
If you use this well, you can obtain a much higher reward than other players or pass a special turning point.
If you look at the residents’ occupations or books, what the stone flute sings must be a type of bug. I thought it might be a hidden boss monster on the 5th floor.
“Did you find anything?”
“Ah yes. How old are you?”
“hehehe, I found ores that are quite usable. My body is already itching to make a new work with this.”
“Then let’s go out soon.”
Having found the hidden piece, there was no reason to stay here any longer.
Sewoon put the stone flute into the subspace pocket with a satisfied expression and left with Ko Changseok.
* * *
I knew the location of the exit anyway, so there was nothing difficult after getting out of the hidden room.
Although the monsters continued to attack, there was no way they could be opponents to Seun and Ko Chang-seok.
Even Sewoon ran in a straight line, sparing no mana and energy.
It didn’t take long before we reached the end of the cave.
– You successfully completed the 4th floor ordeal ‘Passing the Cave’.
– Counting public values… … .
– Remaining time: 7 hours 52 minutes
– The number of monsters hunted is 103.
– Complete the Hidden Quest ‘Hidden Door’.
…
– Acquired public value is divided according to the activity.
-Total cumulative achievement 254,500 points
-Congratulations! Passed the 4th floor ordeal with a ranking of 1st.
– Acquired 100,000 points as a reward.
Indeed, even though there have been players who have discovered the hidden door, it seems that no player has ever opened and entered it.
Acquiring a higher public value than expected, he was able to confidently rank first on this floor as well.
“Heh heh, number one. That’s great.”
“How old are you?”
“I’m not ranked like you, but I also received a lot of merit. To be honest, I haven’t done much. You don’t have to worry about it.”
“If you need anything, just let me know. I will support you.”
“hehehe, thank you for the words.”
end of the cave.
Before going up to the next floor, I straightened up and activated Danjeon and Circle at the same time.
After slowly recovering all mana, I turned my head to see Ko Chang-seok fixing his equipment.
The hammer, as well as the shield and armor, were all stained with insect ooze, so it seemed to take some time.
“Give me yours too. If you don’t clean these things quickly, their durability will deteriorate quickly.”
“Oh, I’ll do mine.”
“Are you going to deprive this old man of his only pleasure?”
“hahahaha… … . Then, please.”
“Hoo. I thought about it before, but it really is a great weapon.”
As soon as Ko Chang-seok accepted Durandal, his eyes twinkled.
While he was fixing his equipment, Seun opened Clan Chat.
As time passed, the messages of those who had passed the ordeal could be seen.
[Park Jeong-pil: Hyung-nii-i-im!]
[Han Ah-reum: Oh, I almost died because of this brother! He ran ahead, telling him to follow him, but then he touched the spider’s web, and as soon as the spider came out, only he ran away!]
[Park Jeong-pil: No, that’s not it… … .]
[Han Ah-reum: No, it’s not what! If I hadn’t blocked the road, both of them would have died!]
[Park Jeong-pil: I’m sorry… … .]
[Hanwoon: I saw that spider too!]
[Han Ah-reum: Did your sister block the road too?]
[Ha-woon: No, Han-chul oppa just killed his team like stepping on an insect?]
[Han Ah-reum: Oh, the difference between colleagues!]
This trial was more difficult than the 3rd floor.
It wouldn’t be a problem if you got the right way, but if you got the wrong way, you’d be stuck with a spider.
Even if it wasn’t for that, the first fork in the road wasn’t the end.
Seun only found the way through his senses, but after that, there were more than three forks in the road.
From my memory before returning, there were quite powerful enemies and traps there, if not as much as spiders.
I wondered if there would be some damage.
[Lee Il-joong: Without medicine, it would have been really dangerous. Mr. Sky, thank you very much.]
[Jang Do-young: I also lived thanks to the medicine!]
[Lee Ha-neul: I’m glad! I’ll have to make it a little more roomy next time.]
Could it be because of the medicine Lee Ha-neul shared? There were people who expressed difficulties, but no one seemed to be seriously hurt.
However, because of the increasingly difficult trials, there were those who worried about the next trials.
‘Well, actually, the difficulty of the next trial jumps up a lot.’
Seunya had to find and deal with strong monsters, but the others didn’t have to.
The ordeal was to cross a river, climb a mountain, and pass through a cave, so even if you faced a strong monster, you just had to run away.
However, the next ordeal was different.
The ordeal itself was dealing with monsters, so even if it was scary, I had to pick up a weapon.
In that sense, it was a good reaction for people to be nervous and worried about the next ordeal.
At least it would be better than being slapped by saying that it was still worth doing.
“Okay, it’s over! It took longer than expected because the essence had hardened.”
“Does it look new?”
“Heh heh, this should be enough.”
The Durandal handed to him by Ko Chang-seok was shining brightly.
It wasn’t just the parts stained with the ooze, but the blades and handles were all cleaned as well, to the point where they felt like new than before.
When I swung lightly once, I don’t know if it was because of my mood, but the sword felt lighter than before.
“Are you going right away?”
“yes. Rest until the next trial is over.”
“I don’t care. It’s not too hard because I’m just following you around.”
“Then let’s go right away.”
“Okay. I want to go upstairs and touch some of the ores I just got.”
Seun and Ko Chang-seok chose the next floor at the same time.
The next layer is the last layer of this theme.
After completing the trials on the 5th floor, you will be able to enjoy a proper rest with your clanmates.
