Monster Heavenly King - Chapter 60
Only Noblemtl
60. Party (1)
After stopping Elena’s rampage and examining Bryn’s sword, Hyunseong expressed his gratitude to Kangcheol.
“Can I really get this much equipment for free?”
I accepted it because they said they would give it to me for free, but I felt bad about not giving them anything since the equipment’s performance was better than I expected.
However, Kangcheol laughed heartily as if to tell him not to worry.
“It’s been a while since I’ve made a proper piece of work, so it doesn’t matter. Well, then how about handing Seol-ah over?”
“Is that still the case?”
This inspiration, he said he would give up cleanly.
It seemed like he still hadn’t been able to let go of his obsession.
He immediately laughed as if he was joking, but it didn’t seem like a joke at all.
“If you really care about taking it for free, put it on loan and do me a favor later.”
“That’s the most expensive one.”
I didn’t think he would ask such a strange favor, but I knew it would be a difficult one.
When I asked for the price, it was basically like asking for a blank check.
“If I tell you, will you be able to pay?”
“… … .”
Hyunseong, who became a mute after eating honey.
Brin’s Sword, Rashi’s Dao.
Both of them were so proud of the steel that they kept bragging about it to the point of wearing out their mouths.
Even if it’s not more expensive than Seol-ah, wouldn’t the number in front of the word “eok” be three digits?
‘Maybe it’s four seats.’
According to information I heard from Elena, the highest item grade in existence is hero grade.
Plus, there’s an option to always increase strength.
Even if it were 100 billion, it wouldn’t be surprising.
I didn’t have the ability to pay for this at the moment.
Ultimately, what you can do in this negotiation is-
“I can’t just listen to you unconditionally. I’ll listen to the content and then decide.”
It was just a matter of drawing a line to some extent.
Kang Cheol chuckles at Hyunseong’s words.
“You’re escaping like a snake. Okay, that’s enough.”
“From the way you say it, I guess you have something to ask of me?”
“Let’s save that for later enjoyment.”
What on earth are you pretending to do to ask for favors like this?
Although I felt uneasy, I made it clear that I wouldn’t listen unconditionally, so there was no problem.
Hyunseong, who was talking to Kangcheol, called his disciples as if something came to mind.
“Keruk!”
“Profit!”
Two disciples came running as soon as he called.
He had told his disciples to cooperate with Elena as much as possible.
On the condition that no touching is allowed.
For the two who were captured by her and were being questioned, her calling must have been like salvation.
“Did you call?”
“Tell me anything.”
“Here, take this.”
He handed over the equipment he had chosen to his disciples.
Guys who receive equipment and then have question marks above their heads.
“I’m going to the fourth floor soon. I’ll need to wear it to get there.”
“Are you going to the 4th floor?!”
The disciples opened their eyes wide in surprise.
Kangcheol, who was listening to the story from the side, tilted his head.
“Isn’t it too fast?”
It hasn’t been that long since I arrived on the 3rd floor, and now I’m already on the 4th floor.
I was about to say that it was too reckless, but Elena opened her mouth with her eyes fixed on the notebook.
“I got targeted by the Cheonmasingyo.”
“Tsk, I got caught by those annoying guys.”
The voice of Kang Chul, who was frowning, sounded more like annoyance than fear.
Because the Cheonmasingyo was famous for being persistent.
“The equipment is pretty good, so there won’t be a problem.”
“Well, then.”
Since the experienced one said so, there was no way that Kangcheol would disagree.
When Brin and Rash were wearing all the equipment Hyunseong had handed them, they looked like they were Awakened.
‘If you look closely, you’ll find out.’
Still, this result is satisfactory enough in terms of performance as well.
He looked at Elena and Kangcheol and expressed his gratitude.
“Stay healthy until we meet again.”
“Hahaha, I’ve seen so many people worry about me in my life!”
“Don’t you have an appointment?”
He nodded and left the blacksmith shop with his two disciples, heading towards a portal somewhere.
As Hyunseong disappeared from sight, Elena, who had been scribbling something in her notebook, looked at Kangcheol.
“Sir, is it really true that I don’t have to accept anything?”
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
“The toy that Rashi has.”
I didn’t say anything because I thought it would be rude to interfere since it was a weapon made of steel, but it was too big to just hand over.
A hero-grade weapon.
Anyone who is awakened should run with fire in their eyes.
‘Even if we estimate conservatively, it will start at the lowest price of 100 billion.’
The steel she knows is a quick-thinking person.
He wasn’t a kind person who would readily give this much money, let alone a small sum of money.
Seeing her like that, Kangcheol clicked his tongue as if it was funny and opened his mouth.
“Well, I guess I can get it if I want to. But, if I get it, it’s over, right?”
“yes?”
“Didn’t you hear what I said earlier? I asked you to do me a favor.”
“I heard.”
“That would be worth more than that.”
Does this mean that Hyunseong would become someone worth 100 billion won and look ridiculous?
Certainly, considering the growth rate, it could happen soon.
Elena made an expression of surprise after hearing the answer.
‘I think this old man would have lived well by doing business even if he hadn’t become an Awakened Person.’
A bold decision that is no different from a strong heart in the eyes of others.
I realized that the position of guild leader of a large guild is not something that just anyone can do.
“Then what promise did you make?”
“It’s a secret.”
“Hey, Gashina has so many secrets.”
Kangcheol grumbled, then turned off the fire in the brazier without asking any more questions.
Elena’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Are you going?”
“Well, I guess I’ve created a satisfactory piece of work. I should focus on my main job for the time being.”
At Kangcheol’s words, she sighed softly and muttered.
“It looks like the labyrinth is going to get quite noisy. I guess I’ll have to stay home for a while and not come out.”
.
.
.
Hyunseong did not head straight to the 4th floor.
“Once I get used to the equipment, I’ll go to the 4th floor.”
This was the first time that both Brin and Rash had been properly equipped.
Because up until now, I’ve been wearing only cloth or leather that doesn’t have any special function.
That’s why it was obvious at a glance that it was unfamiliar.
If I went to the 4th floor in this condition, I wouldn’t be able to show my skills, so I needed to get used to the equipment first.
“Keruk.”
“Profit.”
Brin and Rash, who set out to hunt monsters with the answer, seemed to stutter at first, but as they continued hunting for a few days, they seemed to get used to it.
-You adapt quickly?
“After all, this is also a feeling.”
Given their intuition, it wasn’t at all strange that they adapted quickly.
At this rate, we could probably get to the 4th floor within a week.
I think to myself,
“Good luck, Master.”
“huh?”
Rashi calling himself.
When I turned my gaze, he continued speaking, pointing to one side with his finger.
“There is a strange portal.”
“This is…”
A portal with cracks like broken glass.
It wasn’t a portal that moved between floors, but rather a portal leading to an instant dungeon.
‘Oh, it’s Indonesia.’
-What is Indun?
‘Oh, come to think of it, you don’t know India either.’
The dungeon you enter from the second floor, the Orc Castle, was cleared before meeting Seol-ah.
‘It’s just a simple dungeon that appears and disappears here and there in the labyrinth. The rewards are salty.’
-Oh, you got that necklace in India?
‘That’s it.’
I never thought I would find an Indian here.
Since I finally found it, there was no reason not to go in.
Hyunseong, who was about to go in wondering what was going on, stopped and looked at Brin and Rashi.
‘So, can these guys get in?’
It is possible for him because he has a system in place, but even though his disciples have learned martial arts, they are still classified as monsters.
-You can wear equipment without a system, so wouldn’t it be possible to do dungeons as well?
‘I think so, but there is no such thing as absolute.’
I slammed my teeth against Brin and Rash to confirm.
“You guys go in first. I’ll follow you.”
“Keruk.”
Brin disappeared into the portal with the sound of broken shards cracking.
Rashi, who followed behind, also entered the portal without any problems.
So easy that my worries were for naught.
-See, I told you it would be possible?
“… … ”
-Don’t underestimate the feelings that have persisted for many years!
It’s the same with evolution levels and this time too.
Somehow, I had a feeling that Seol-ah’s predictions had been coming true a lot recently.
If this situation continues, won’t he become more and more dependent on Seol-ah?
“Is this the feeling of being gradually tainted by the magic sword?”
In this way, he gradually became dependent on Seol-ah and his body became so weak that he could not survive without her, and he only followed what Seol-ah said.
-No, that’s different!
Hyunsung thought it was a joke to be teased by the intense reaction, and he clacked his jaw before heading into the portal.
[You have entered the instant dungeon.]
Although the inside of the dungeon was still in the forest, it was quite dark.
As Hyunseong looked around, dark red eyes sparkled from inside his skull.
“Hmm. Were there any passengers?”
There were already traces of someone having passed by.
There are five people.
Looking at the traces, it seemed like quite some time had passed since they had passed.
‘The entrance hasn’t disappeared, so it doesn’t mean the attack is complete.’
Is it the final stage or is it still being conquered?
Hyunseong was troubled over what to do.
I never had any intention of stealing something that belonged to someone else.
‘but…’
There was no guarantee that those who arrived first would be conquering the dungeon.
-Because they might have been wiped out along the way and become monster food by now.
“You say such terrible things so casually.”
-You thought so too.
“That’s true.
-That’s reality. So are you going to go?
“I have to go.”
Actually, I was thinking of going even if I didn’t get anything out of it.
If there are five people, it would be a pretty balanced party.
I wanted to see how the other Awakened would do when conquering the labyrinth.
Because he was still a beginner when it came to conquering dungeons.
“Then shall we follow the traces?”
Hyunseong muttered like that and headed into the dungeon with his disciples.
Upon entering, there were signs of a rather fierce battle.
Hyunseong guesses the party’s role by examining the traces.
“One tank, two melee, one archer, one mage?”
It was a fairly well-balanced party.
The monsters they faced were-
-Spider.
It seemed that the monster appearing in this dungeon was a spider.
Hyunseong, who had been quietly observing the traces, tilted his skull.
‘Something’s strange?’
-what?
The party continued to advance at a rapid pace without showing any signs of difficulty.
Then why haven’t you finished conquering the Indun yet?
If a party had this level of skill, it would have already been time to clear the area.
-If you listen to it, that’s true.
‘It could simply be that the dungeon is too long…’
If not, maybe something went wrong along the way.
The moment I thought that.
“Hey, stop it!”
A faint voice was heard from inside the forest.
