Episode 60: I Know Everything (1)
After recruiting Mei Hong, Kwon Wol’s life got a little busier.
It is not the end just because you have a team member. There were many things to do before taking on the escort mission.
The first was to properly grasp Meihong’s skills.
“It’s over!”
Meihong waved her sword and said. Behind her smiling brightly, I saw the dismembered corpses of monsters.
“Gold grade dungeon, three golems, cleared in 5 minutes and 20 seconds.”
Gwon-ul checked his watch and said. Looking back, it was great.
Golems are notorious for their destructive power, but also for their hard bodies. It was difficult to make a flaw with some skill.
So even though it is a gold level, it is evaluated as equivalent to a platinum level.
It took less than 5 minutes against such a golem.
“Your skills are great… … .”
Gwon-wool muttered a little worried.
Skills are flawless. However, there were times when watching her blades made me feel terrified at times.
Suddenly, the words of the old man came to mind.
It looks fine on the outside, but the inside must have been rotten.
He directly witnessed the death of his parents and moved as the enemy’s limbs. It was unknown whether there was violence inside.
“Did you do well?”
Before I knew it, Mei Hong was coming closer. Gwon-ul put the watch in his pocket and nodded.
“It was great.”
“Because I want you to speak comfortably.”
“I am comfortable with this.”
At Kwon-wool’s words, Mei-hong made a slightly embarrassed expression.
“… … Well, you respect Hayeon unnie too.”
Then, the ground thumped. The ground trembled a short distance away, and two more golems appeared.
“I’ll finish it in 3 minutes this time!”
Meihong grabbed the sword again and ran. Kwon-wool watched her quietly.
“… … .”
In fact, her eyes were watching her fight, but her mind was full of other thoughts.
The words of Bae Cheol-min, whom he met the other day, were still causing ripples in Kwon-ul’s heart.
“… … My father said he did not leave the family on his own, but fled after being sentenced to death.”
I wanted to know more about why he was sentenced to death.
But there was nowhere to ask.
“It’s obvious that the president and Mr. Hayeon won’t talk again.”
So, I tried to investigate by controlling the people of the family with my own blood.
However, the power of dominance of the clan blood did not work well for the hunters.
However, I had no choice but to give up because I couldn’t dominate after losing as much as I did in Noh Ho-min’s time.
“I heard you need a mediator to rule people with your own blood.”
The power of dominion works only when a person’s mental power is disturbed. Otherwise, the power of dominion will not work.
That is why Catalina Blaga honed her charm as a woman.
It was to use beauty to captivate people and rule them by blood.
“How should I find someone to investigate separately?”
Finding such a person can’t be easy.
“Nothing in the world is that easy.”
It was when Kwon Wool said that. The nearby dungeon gate shook and Joo Ha-yeon came inside.
“Kwon Han-ul, there is a call request.”
“Who are you?”
“I am Iron Peng’s guild master.”
Iron Peng.
It was a guild that tried to place the blame for the dungeon failure on Gwon-ul before joining the Heukcheon family.
Afterwards, when he debuted, he took revenge by eating Iron Peng’s guild master like a slave.
“Why did that man call?”
“I just said I had something to return.”
ah.
Only then did Kwon-ul remember the thing he had forgotten about.
“They say they’ll send someone out. What should I do?”
“Just do it… … .”
In an instant, a thought passed through my mind.
“No, just say I’m going myself.”
“Are you going by yourself?”
When Joo Ha-yeon asked as if it was strange, Gwon-ul nodded.
“Yes, I want to see Seoul for the first time in a while.”
* * *
After that, Kwon-ul prepared to leave for Seoul.
While making an appointment with Iron Peng’s guild master, Kwon Kwon-wool added one more condition.
Among the dungeons that Iron Peng had secured, he asked for at least one platinum grade dungeon.
Gold grade dungeons did not allow meihong’s skills to be fully understood. In the end, a higher Platinum grade dungeon was needed.
However, since the Platinum level dungeons are managed separately within the Heukcheon family, Kwon Kwon-ul could not use them at will.
So, I tried to attack the Platinum level dungeon using Iron Peng and check Mei Hong’s skill.
“Are you sure it would be all right if it were just the two of you?”
Also, this time, only Kwon Kwon-ul and Mei-hong decided to go without Joo Ha-yeon.
“Yes, this time the two of us are going to host it.”
The reason was to practice attacking dungeons without Joo Ha-yeon.
Until now, Joo Ha-yeon was in charge of securing the dungeon, collecting information, and preparing items for the attack.
It was comfortable, but I had to rely on Joo Ha-yeon every time, so I couldn’t cope with unexpected situations without her.
So this time, the two of us will go through the dungeon raid from start to finish.
… … That was Kwon-ul’s claim.
On the surface.
“All right. Then I will be waiting for you here.”
Joo Ha-yeon said as if it could not be helped.
So, leaving her at the Heukcheon family, Kwon Kwon-ul and Mei-hong boarded a private plane to Seoul.
Inside the private plane, Mei Hong asked Kwon Wool.
“Kwon Hanul-nim, honestly, it’s an excuse to run a dungeon with just the two of us, right?”
“Did you show off a lot?”
“That’s not it. If you’re not the kind of person like me who always looks out for Kwon Wol, you wouldn’t have known.”
I’m glad you did.
“As you said, I have other business.”
“What is it?”
“It’s difficult to say for personal reasons.”
Meihong made a sad expression.
“Are you going to tell Hayeon?”
“It’s sad that you didn’t tell me either, but… … I’ll bear with you. Kwon Wol-nim is now my boss.”
Meihong leaned against the back of the seat. Tired, I closed my eyes. Then he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Kwon-wool.
“Ah, so the two of us are accomplices?”
* * *
Arriving in Seoul, Gwonwool first headed to Iron Peng’s guild.
“Mr. Meihong, you must have been frustrated because you were only in Heukcheon, so please get some fresh air.”
At those words, Meihong glanced at Kwon-wool.
“Aren’t you separating yourself too blatantly?”
“If you know, please look at the circumstances.”
“all right. I’ll be eating something delicious.”
Mei Hong disappeared into the city alone.
He also has interpreting skills, and his skills are not average, so Kwon Kwon-ul was not particularly worried.
After sending Mei Hong, Kwon Wol headed to Iron Peng’s guild building.
The moment I entered the entrance, I heard a shout.
“Meet Kwon Han-ul!”
From the entrance to the lobby on the first floor, all the guild members stood and greeted Kwon Wol.
In the meantime, Iron Peng’s guild master walked, bouncing his chubby stomach.
“Kwon Han-ul, I am thrilled to see you again.”
Gwonwool smiled and patted Ironfeng Guild Master on the shoulder. Then he brought his face close to his ear.
“What are you doing, crazy?”
When Kwon-ul lowered his voice, the guild master’s face turned pale.
“I-I would like to welcome you in my own way… … .”
“It’s noisy and it disperses people right away.”
“Ah, I see!”
The guild master hurriedly sent the staff back. He returned to Kwon-ul with sweat on his forehead.
“I-I’ll take you inside.”
* * *
Iron Peng.
It is a large guild that has been firmly holding the No. 1 guild in Korea for over ten years.
Not only the level of hunters, but also their ability to handle work is very good, so they are building strong trust in the entire Korean society.
Something unbelievable was happening in Iron Peng’s guild master’s office.
A young man was sitting in the seat of the guild master, and the guild master was kneeling in front of him.
“Hey, here you go.”
The guild master politely held out the ring with both hands.
It was an old and unsightly ring, but Kwon Kwon-ul knew it. What powers does this ring have?
-Name: Ring of Redemption
-Quality: Legendary (???)
-The true name and power of the ring are sealed. A special procedure is required to unlock it.
-skill
1, Veil: The name and description of the ring are not visible to anyone other than the ‘owner’.
2. Brainwashing: If a person other than the ‘owner’ is in contact with the ring for a long time, it becomes mentally bound to the ‘owner’.
“It’s a bit wasteful to wear this ring because I have a family member.”
The Ring of Restraint was good, but the conditions for using it were too demanding.
This is because only those who have been in contact for a long time other than the owner are restrained.
If the ownership of the ring is robbed in the middle, it means that it is taken away as it is.
“Kwon Hanul-nim, I heard you have something else to do… … .”
“Ah, it was.”
Kwon Kwon-ul took his eyes off the ring and looked at Iron Peng’s guild master.
“You should investigate the Heukcheon family.”
“… … The Heukcheon family?”
I was just speaking out. The guild master’s eyes began to tremble. At the same time, a message popped up.
＜A subordinate bound by the ‘Ring of Restraint’ is about to be freed.＞
Kwon-wool slightly frowned. It’s such an unstable skill.
It was natural for the guild master to be afraid. No matter how great Iron Peng is, it is nothing compared to the Black Heaven group.
The size of the two is so large that the Heukcheon family deliberately does not include them when ranking Korean guilds.
“… … no. Forget it.”
When Kwon-wool said that, the guild master’s eyes calmed down again.
＜The restraints of subordinates bound by the ‘Ring of Redemption’ are maintained.＞
Gwon-wool clicked his tongue briefly. If it was the rule of the clan, I would have jumped into the flames.
Kwon Wool-wool expressed his family’s blood.
＜Exercises the authority of ‘Kwon Sokhyeol’.＞
＜The target’s mental power is strong.＞
＜It is impossible to control.＞
“Neither can.”
A hunter with some level of skill could not be dominated by his family.
It might be possible to beat it as much as Noh Ho-min did, but it was difficult to use that method here.
“Let’s just go.”
Saying that, Kwon-ul stood up from his seat. Iron Peng’s guild master bowed his head and greeted him.
It was the moment I was about to go outside.
Suddenly, Kwon-ul realized that he was still holding the ring of subordination.
I was going to put it in the subspace like this, but I just wore it on my finger.
It was a thoughtless act, but the aftermath was enormous.
＜The ‘Ring of Subordination’ judges the wearer’s qualifications.＞
＜Qualifications have been verified. Liberate the True Name.＞
Gwon-wool looked at his fingers in surprise.
The ring caught fire and all the rust that had accumulated on it began to peel off.
Soon, two bright red snakes turned into two snakes biting each other’s tails.
Name: Ring of Lust
Quality: Legendary (SSS+)
explanation
A ring that symbolizes lust, one of the seven deadly sins. The ability of the ring varies depending on the finger worn.
skill
1, Umji: Strengthens one’s presence.
2. Index finger: Buys goodwill from others.
3. Stop: Hypnotize others.
4. Ring finger: Greatly weakens the target’s mental power.
5. Possession: Shows hallucinations to others.
As I was holding the ring, I could feel the blood in my family quivering.
＜’Kwonsokhyeol(眷屬血)’ responds to the ring of lust.＞
＜The power of ‘Kwon Sokhyeol(眷屬血)’ is greatly strengthened.＞
Gwon-ul looked around at the ring and thought.
Another means is needed in order to dominate others with one’s own blood.
Until now, I had trouble controlling because I didn’t have it.
But wouldn’t it be a little different if I had this ring?
“If you try it, you will know for sure.”
Gwonwool wore a ring of lust on his fourth finger.
The guild master tilted his head.
“Why, why are you… … Whoops!”
From noble mtl dot com.
I grabbed the guild master’s head with my ring-clad hand.
＜The ‘Ring of Lust’ weakens the spirit of the party!＞
Black magic penetrated the cracks in the guild master’s face. The guild master’s eyes turned slightly upside down.
＜Exercises the authority of ‘Kwon Sokhyeol’.＞
＜I succeeded in controlling the strong mentally!＞
＜Assimilation rate 12% -＞ 14%＞
Gwon-ul slowly separated his hand. The guild master wiped his face with the palm of his hand.
“Hey, what is this! No matter how much Kwon Wol-nim is, I can’t tolerate it!”
It was more defiant than when he was in captivity. Gwonwool did not care and ordered the guild master.
“I need to investigate the Heukcheon family.”
At those words, the guild master’s eyes shook. However, he soon lowered his head and replied.
“Please be specific!”
“Bring everything about Kwon Cheon, the second son of Kwon Seon-woo, the current chairman of the Heukcheon family. Especially what happened within the Heukcheon family. Do you understand?”
Iron Peng’s guild master shouted in a loud voice.
“I will follow your orders!”
“I will be staying here for a while, so please contact me when you have information.”
Gwon-ul tried to leave the room again. However, he looked back at the guild master and said.
“Let me ask you one more thing.”
“Speak!”
“Here in the Iron Peng Guild, there is a safe that collects artifacts, right?”
“Of course!”
“I’d like to pick up some from there. Are you okay?”
At Kwon-ul’s question, the guild master nodded without hesitation.
“You can take them all!”
