Episode 41 Keeping the Promise (2)
Kwon-wool doubted his ears at first.
All of the clans of the Black Sky have power beyond common sense.
Gold grade dungeons can be cleared by a single blood relative, not by a team.
But what about it?
“No matter how much you hate to pass white clay, you can’t lie.”
Kwon-wool was convinced that Kwon Ji-seok was lying. Indeed, it could be said to be a reasonable inference.
“… … .”
Far from getting angry, Kwon Ji-seok remained silent. The moment he saw that reaction, Kwon-ul realized that it was true.
Kwon Kwon-ul couldn’t bring it out of his mouth, but he put on a pathetic expression.
“hey! I know this is my fault!”
“All accidents that occur in the dungeon are the captain’s fault.”
“No, but that… … Not that. I have a problem too!”
“What’s the matter, why can’t we do a gold grade dungeon even with a team like this?”
Kwon Ji-seok sighed deeply and explained what had happened.
* * *
“… … It happened like this.”
After hearing all the explanations, Gwon-ul couldn’t help but tilt his head.
“The mud trolls don’t show up?”
Kwon Ji-seok let out a deep sigh and nodded.
“Yeah, I tried to pull them out several times using their habits, but to no avail.”
Every animal has certain habits. Monsters are no exception.
“Even if you sprinkle the mud trolls’ favorite prey as bait or set fires all over the forest, only one or two will appear from time to time, but the others don’t even poke their noses.”
It was strange.
No matter how laid-back the mud trolls may be, they never forgive enemies who trespass on their territory.
But beyond the invasion, everyone is still standing still even though they are making such a fuss.
“What do you think, Hayeon?”
“It looks like it went into hibernation.”
Kwon Kwon-ul exclaimed. was missing that
“Why did the dungeon of that period take over? I’m really unlucky.”
“You knew.”
“I’ve only seen it once before.”
Kwon Ji-seok did not understand. Eventually, he raised his voice and became angry.
“What is hibernation? Let’s go get to know me too!”
“What, don’t you know? Did you know that dungeons also have seasons?”
Time passes in the dungeon, and the weather and seasons change. This is different for each dungeon.
And monsters are also affected by time.
“Because of the environment in that dungeon, all the mud trolls went into hibernation.”
During the hibernation period, mud trolls hide in various places in the forest and take a good night’s sleep. It is almost impossible to wake up the mud troll at this time.
“look! Because I’m not doing anything wrong! The situation is like this, how can I solve it… … .”
“Kwon Ji-seok, if you are a blood relative of Heukcheon, you should be able to resolve situations worse than this.”
Joo Ha-yeon said firmly.
“That, that… … It is, but… … How could you, Hayeon, say that to me!”
“Not only do I not have a relationship with Kwon Ji-seok, I just told the truth.”
It was so resolute that it felt like living. Kwon Kwon-ul, who was listening next to him, shivered slightly.
“Well, more than that, since you know the cause, you know the solution, right? right?”
“Sorry, but it is not yet known how to wake the hibernating mud trolls.”
“Well, then… … ?”
“Did you change the dungeon? Otherwise, we have no choice but to conduct a meticulous search, even if it takes a long time.”
A deep expression of sincerity fell on Kwon Ji-seok’s face.
Kwon Kwon-wool was also in trouble. I came to get the dungeon soil as soon as possible. Only in this way can the purpose be achieved.
Is there any way It was when Gwon-ul was thinking about it.
“hey.”
From noble mtl dot com.
Suddenly, Kwon Ji-seok called Kwon-ul.
“Did you come up with any good numbers?”
“No, not that.”
“Then why did you call me?”
“Didn’t you ask me to bring you the sacred tree the other day?”
“It was.”
“And this time I came to get white clay. Do you have any golden apple seeds?”
It wasn’t something he was trying to hide, so Gwon-ul nodded.
“Yes, I got it from the May family’s warehouse.”
“… … I asked why my grandfather sent you separately.”
Kwon Ji-seok muttered as if he was sorry.
“How many successes? Could it be why Grandpa took you to the Delos auction last time?”
“Yes, I got it then.”
“Damn it, how did you roast and boil your grandfather so that you could even get the number of successes?”
Kwon Ji-seok looked like he was going crazy with envy. It was worth it. The elixir that raises one’s abilities to S-class cannot be obtained even with a fair amount of money and personal connections.
“Let’s ask one more question.”
“What else?”
“When I went to the Delos auction house, I heard you saw Catalina Blaga in person? Is it real?”
Kwon Kwon-ul frowned involuntarily. Because it wasn’t a very good meeting.
“I had to meet you.”
“Was it pretty?”
For a moment, Kwon-wool doubted his ears.
He would, too, because he couldn’t believe that such a question about a titan like Catalina Blaga was such a far cry.
“But why don’t you think of a solution first?”
“I’m curious. How famous is Catalina Blaga? Rumor has it that there is nothing missing from her face and body, and that she disappears after one look.”
It’s something I feel every time, but Kwon Ji-seok’s choice of words was extremely cheap for a child from a prestigious family.
“What was pretty was pretty.”
Kwon Ji-seok pricked up his ears. Joo Ha-yeon was also glaring at Kwon-wool, wondering if she was curious.
Kwon Kwon-ul felt absurd.
Other people may not know, but Ha-yeon Joo saw Catalina Blaga at the auction house.
“How pretty was she?”
“It’s kind of hard to explain in words.”
“You mean she was that pretty?”
I mean, I don’t have the talent to speak like that. Kwon Ji-seok was interpreting it on his own.
“I am also curious. What do you think Kwon Wol-wool thinks of Catalina Blaga?”
Joo Ha-yeon from the side helped out with a word. That’s why I couldn’t answer.
“Ah, so… … .”
Kwon Wool-wool looked at Ha-yeon Joo without realizing it. Is it because of my mood? I felt like I should be good at talking.
Then, the savior appeared. The entrance to the fence had become noisy.
“What do you think happened?”
Kwon-wool quickly changed the subject and looked away.
“Cool, cool.”
Right after that, I was caught in a rash.
Because Catalina Blaga was walking this way.
Not even Catalina Vla was alone. Ruin Aspadam was following behind her.
“Why are those humans here?”
It was so shocking that at first I thought I was seeing something in vain.
But that presence, the ominous feeling that pierces the skin, told me that it was real.
“Little Dragon, are you sending me again like this?”
Catalina Blaga, who had come closer before I knew it, said with a smile. At that moment, an exclamation erupted from the surroundings.
“Oh, Mr.… … and… … really… … .”
Kwon Ji-seok even opened his mouth wide.
The problem was that he wasn’t the only one, but everyone present, regardless of gender, was showing the same reaction.
It was then.
Ruin Aspadam lifted his leg and stepped on the ground with all his might. Dull waves spread in all directions, shaking people’s bodies.
It was a terrifying advance that was terrifying.
“Don’t look at Lady Catalina carelessly.”
Ruin Aspadam said in a voice full of life. Catalina Blaga slapped Ruin Aspadam on the shoulder.
“Ruin! We are guests! What if a guest does this!”
“sorry. Lady Catalina.”
Contrary to what he said, Ruin Aspadam did not look apologetic at all. Rather, he glared at the people around him with even more stern eyes.
Then, suddenly, Kwon Wol’s eyes met. Life arose in Ruin Aspadam’s eyes.
For Kwon-wool, it was an absurd reaction.
“Why did you come here?”
Gwonwool asked Catalina Blaga. Catalina Blaga said with regret.
“Oh my, be tight. I met you all of a sudden Can’t you be a little more happy?”
“I know we’re not in a relationship.”
At the auction house, Catalina Blaga exerted the power of dominion over Gwonwonul.
From Kwon-wool’s point of view, there was no reason to be happy about this meeting.
“Don’t be too scared. I came here for a reason.”
“Why?”
“The person next to you is Kwon Ji-seok, right?”
Kwon Ji-seok nodded vigorously. The gaping mouth widened even more.
Gwonwool sighed inwardly. I love you so much just by calling your name.
“I’m here to get some white clay through the introduction of my older brother, Kwon Chan-sung.”
At those words, Gwon-ul suddenly came to his senses.
Are you saying that the buyer Kwon Chan-sung arranged was Catalina Blaga?
“Bae, do you mean white clay?”
Kwon Ji-seok was clearly perplexed. I glanced at Kwon Kwon-ul and Joo Ha-yeon.
The two ignored Kwon Ji-seok’s gaze. Because it wasn’t a matter for the two of them to get involved.
“I think you will have to wait a little longer… … .”
“A little more? A gold grade dungeon takes that long?”
Ban Kwon Ji-seok’s face turned red at the question that he sincerely did not understand.
“As for how that happened… … .”
Kwon Ji-seok told Catalina Blaga about the current situation.
After hearing the explanation, Catalina Blaga put on a troubled expression.
“Oops… … This is a troubling situation.”
“If you wait a little longer… … .”
“Because I’m not in such a hurry. You don’t have to be in too much of a hurry.”
“Are you sure?”
Kwon Ji-seok’s face brightened.
Gwonwool sighed. Watching Catalina Blaga sway at every word, I let out a sigh.
At that time, Ruin Aspadam pushed Kwon Ji-seok away.
“It’s too close. Please don’t stick around anymore.”
Kwon Ji-seok’s face crumpled. It was the expression on the face of what this damn bastard was talking about.
Kwon Ji-seok whispered to Kwon Ji-seok.
“Do you know who he is?”
“I don’t know.”
“This is Ruin Aspadam.”
“… … A disciple of the wall power?”
At those words, Kwon Ji-seok’s life immediately subsided. Indeed, it seemed that the famous person was right.
“Yeah, I’ve been curious since before. Is Little Dragon here to help Kwon Ji-seok?”
“no. I came here because I needed white clay.”
“There are all these coincidences! But doesn’t white clay only come from one boss?”
that was a pain in the ass
A decent buyer would have been forced to. After all, the people who have to solve this problem are Kwon Ji-seok and Kwon Chan-sung.
However, if the person was a bigwig like Catalina Blaga, the story would be different.
“I also really need white clay, so how do I do that?”
“Where are you going to use it?”
“It is very good for skin care. So, whenever I have a chance, I save it.”
Catalina Blaga thought for a moment, then said:
“This is also related. If you send it back empty-handed, I don’t think I’ll feel comfortable.”
“Are you saying you will yield?”
“It’s no fun if you just give it away.”
A playfulness flashed across Catalina Blaga’s face.
“If you make a bet with me and win, I will hand over the white clay. how is it?”
Kwon Kwon-ul looked at Catalina Blaga with suspicion. A sudden bet?
“Which bet?”
“Little Dragon and Ruin. Let’s say two people enter the dungeon and the one who catches the most mud trolls wins. how is it?”
Gwonwool clicked his tongue inwardly. No matter how you think about it, it was unfavorable to Kwon-ul.
Previously, I asked Joo Ha-yeon about Ruin Aspadam.
A disciple of a thunderbolt, a man close to the world ranking.
Regardless of the numerous titles, it was said that he had great skills. Perhaps it was said that he raised his agility ability to S-class.
The gap between A-class and S-class abilities is so large that it is likened to a huge wall. The odds of Gwonwool fighting Ruin Aspadam and winning were extremely low.
“I have nothing to bet on.”
“hmm… … Then let’s do this. If Little Dragon loses, you’ll accept my invitation to dinner. how is it?”
Are you invited?
At the sudden remark, Kwon Wol tilted his head. At that time, Joo Ha-yeon grabbed Kwon-ul’s hand.
“You cannot accept this bet. It is too risky.”
“Is it dangerous?”
“Nobody knows what will happen at Catalina Blaga’s invitation. What is certain is that so far no one has returned from being invited by Catalina Blaga. All pledged allegiance to her or became her servants.”
Kwon Kwon-ul made a confused expression. It wasn’t just betting white clay.
Gwon-ul thought for a moment.
Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for Kwon Wol to beat Ruin Aspadam.
However, the content of this bet is who will catch more mud trolls.
If so, Gwon-ul’s answer is fixed.
“great.”
Joo Ha-yeon’s eyes widened at Kwon-wool’s answer. Catalina Blaga, on the other hand, was liked as a child.
“It’s hot too! Then what will Ruin do?”
Catalina Blaga looked at Ruin Aspadam and asked.
Unlike Catalina Blaga, whose face was full of smiles, Ruin Aspadame’s face was contorted with anger.
“Lady Catalina. Did you bring me here for this purpose?”
“Ruin doesn’t seem to like this situation.”
“Yeah, I don’t like it. That man is a blood relative of the Black Sky, but he is just a rookie who has not yet been properly known!”
In a word, it is said to be inferior.
Kwon Kwon-wool was slightly empty.
“Oh, then Ruin doesn’t seem to have any intentions.”
“No, I will. I am a member of Catalina-sama’s family. If you want, you have to obey.”
Ruin Aspadam looked back at Kwon Wol. The two eyes were full of life.
“Please wait. What kind of man is the family member you have chosen? I will prove it to you once more.”
Even Ruin Aspadame agreed. With this, the bet was established.
“Oh, yes. Kwon Ji-seok Are you okay?”
“Of course it’s fine! You can do whatever you want!”
“Oh, be cool.”
Kwon Ji-seok opened his mouth and liked it.
“Then shall we go to the dungeon?”
* * *
“I will repeat the rules.”
The entrance to the dungeon.
Catalina Blaga explained to Gwonwool and Ruin Aspadam.
“The one who catches the most mud trolls hidden throughout the dungeon wins. The moment the boss is caught, the bet is over! Oh, the boss counts as three.”
Catalina Blaga tapped her forehead.
“A small horn grows on the forehead of a mud troll. Bring those horns back as proof of the hunt. How is it, simple?”
Gwonwool and Ruin nodded their heads at the same time.
“Since it’s the first time, let’s come back in 4 hours. Then let’s go!”
Gwonwool entered the dungeon gate.
After passing through the entrance, a huge forest came into view.
Trees with stumps thick enough to be surrounded by ten people stretched high into the sky. It grew so high that I had to bend my head as far back as possible.
When I lowered my gaze to the ground, the roots of the trees sticking out were covering the ground. Weeds had grown waist-deep in the vacant land.
Trees, weeds, everything is tall and long. Kwon Kwon-ul fell into the illusion that he had become his own villain.
“punk.”
Looking around, Ruin Aspadam was glaring at him.
“I want to beat you with an overwhelming skill difference, but my pride won’t allow me to do my best against you.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I will give you one condition. I will not use the skill.”
Kwon Kwon-ul felt anger beyond displeasure.
No matter how much S-class agility you have, you’re going to fight without any skills?
However, Kwon-ul soon realized how short his thoughts were.
“Then let’s move first.”
As soon as the words were finished, Ruin Aspadam’s body disappeared.
Gwon-wool looked around in surprise.
I couldn’t see any movement at all. I didn’t even know where it went.
No matter how much I stretched my senses, I couldn’t catch Ruin Aspadam’s presence.
Just then, a loud noise erupted from a distance. At the same time, the cries of mud trolls rang out.
“… … I’m serious?”
I had only heard that the gap between A-class and S-class was huge, but I didn’t expect it to be this big.
“As expected, you can’t win just by sticking around.”
However, Gwon-ul did not blindly accept the bet.
I accepted it because I was confident that I would win.
＜’Kwonsokhyeol(眷屬血)’ heats up.＞
Kwon-wool’s eyes turned red.
