Episode 382

Yoo Se-hee asked across the table.

“Have you confirmed that the house has been built?”

“Yes! Hundreds have already been built.”

“If things continue this way, more than three thousand homes will be built in less than a month. More than ten thousand people will have new homes.”

“That’s amazing.”

“This is the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. I’ve never felt more proud of myself than I do now. So I’m grateful to you. Because of you, I’ve had the opportunity to save so many people.”

“It’s all thanks to everyone working together.”

“So, like I said before, I’ll repay you.”

“I’m looking forward to that.”

Zeon answered with a smile.

Although he said that, Zeon didn’t have high expectations.

It wasn’t something I did with the expectation of a reward in the first place, and any amount of reward wouldn’t be enough to meet his expectations.

Yoo Se-hee stood up and said.

“You won’t be disappointed. I’ll open up my secret vault today. Bring out whatever you want.”

“Is this a secret warehouse?”

“Yes! It was made in the early days of the Goblin Market. It gathered everything from items that couldn’t be sold to items that couldn’t be sold freely. It wasn’t originally open to anyone, but after discussing it with my grandfather, I decided to open it only to you.”

“It is an honor.”

Zeon’s eyes sparkled.

It was at Mr. Clexi’s shop that he obtained the hourglass containing Axion, which could be called his secret weapon.

There was no way that there wouldn’t be something like that in the secret warehouse.

Unlike before, Zeon felt a ray of anticipation.

Yoo Se-hee snickered at the sight of Jeon and placed her hand on the office floor.

In an instant, numerous lines appeared on the floor, creating a magic circle.

The entrance to the secret warehouse was right on the floor of Yoo Se-hee’s office.

The structure was such that the entrance would only appear if Yoo Se-hee activated the magic circle.

Only Yoo Se-hee can activate the magic circle. No one else can open the door to the secret warehouse.

Grrrrr!

The floor split open with a dull sound, revealing a staircase.

Yoo Se-hee said, pointing to the floor.

“You can only take one of anything. So choose carefully. What you worked so hard to choose might turn out to be trash.”

“I will do that.”

Zeon nodded and entered the secret storage room.

The secret vault was incredibly huge.

Even at a glance, it was over 100 meters long and wide and over 10 meters high.

In that huge space, all kinds of objects were piled up like a mountain.

The objects were left covered in dust, reminiscent of a garbage dump.

Jeon looked at the mountain with a dumbfounded expression.

“Are you telling me to pick one item here?”

I had no idea where to start.

It seemed like ten days wouldn’t be enough to examine all these items in detail.

“Well, I guess I can’t help but just take a quick look. If it’s fate, I’ll probably end up with something good, but if not, I’ll just grab something and leave.”

Zeon calmed down a bit and started to look through the items. But as he started to look through the items, he found it quite fun.

It felt like I was on a treasure hunt.

Some items were so shoddy that you couldn’t even guess why they were in the warehouse. Other items were so great that you could understand why they were thrown there.

That was the dagger that Zeon was holding now.

A red sword curved like a crescent moon.

The handle was engraved with a magically enchanted gem.

Just holding it in my hand made my body feel lighter and my vision brighter.

Sugaak!

I tried swinging it at something else to test it, and the lump of metal was cut like a piece of paper.

It was clearly an item unearthed from a dungeon.

Judging by its demeanor and the magic it was enchanted with, it was clearly a dagger made for assassins.

It was clear that if such an item fell into the hands of assassins, their powers would be multiplied several times. That was why Yoo Se-hee, although he felt sorry for it, kept the dagger in storage instead of selling it on the market.

“How wise.”

Zeon swung his dagger a few times and then threw it into the debris.

It was a good thing, but it didn’t suit me.

Weapons like swords, daggers, and spears were not compatible with him. That’s why Xeon excluded cold weapons from his options.

“This is not it, this is not it either.”

Zeon threw the items he had worked hard to find far away.

Dust had settled on Zeon’s head and shoulders, showing how hard he had searched.

A smile appeared on Zeon’s lips.

Because it felt like a treasure hunt, it felt pretty good.

He searched through the warehouse without realizing how much time had passed.

“There is no end.”

Zeon wiped the sweat from his forehead and stuck out his tongue.

Even though I searched so hard, there were still a ton of items left.

There were times when I thought about just giving up and taking any item.

“What is this?”

Among the miscellaneous items, there was one that caught Xeon’s eye.

It was a necklace.

I don’t know how long it had been left there, but the surface of the necklace was covered in rust.

It didn’t feel like it had any special power, nor was it something connected to Zeon. Nevertheless, Zeon picked up the necklace because of the pattern visible through the rust.

“Isn’t that exactly the same pattern as the one on the brazier Brielle had?”

Siella’s furnace obtained from the gambling hall in the Magic Stone Mine.

The same pattern as the necklace was engraved on Siella’s Brazier, a treasure of the High Elves.

“Is this something related to high elves?”

Zeon looked around the warehouse.

Anyway, it didn’t seem like I would find what I needed even if I searched further inside. In that case, I thought it would be better to just take this.

Zeon, who had made up his mind, immediately left the warehouse.

“What? Why are you out already?”

Yoo Se-hee, who was waiting outside, made a puzzled expression.

Because it was expected that it would take about five or six more hours for Xeon to come out.

“Have you chosen your items?”

“Yes! I’ll do this.”

Zeon shook the necklace he found in the warehouse.

“What is that? That junk? Were there things like that in the warehouse?”

“yes!”

“No matter how I look at it, it just looks like a piece of junk. How about exchanging it for something else?”

“It’s okay. I’ll just do this.”

“Wow! If I do this, it’ll seem like I opened up my secret storage just to show off. Then choose one more and come out. I’ll give you two as a special treat.”

“It’s okay. I really only need this one.”

“I guess there aren’t any items that meet your eye level?”

“Not necessarily.”

“Tch! My pride is hurt. How many good items did I paint that my stuff doesn’t catch your eye?”

Yoo Se-hee pouted.

Jeon didn’t bother to answer and just smiled. Yoo Se-hee waved her hand and kicked Jeon out.

“Okay! Go out quickly.”

“See you next time. I’ll use this well.”

Zeon came out, shaking the necklace once again.

I could hear Yoo Se-hee grumbling behind me.

“What? Why would you choose something like that even if I gave you something good? It hurts your pride… …. Don’t we have something useful like that in our secret storage? This is driving me crazy!”

Zeon chuckled and walked away.

Items also need to have a connection.

No matter how good an item is to others, if you don’t need it, it’s not meant to be.

Zeon was quite satisfied with the items he had now.

“By the way, I wonder what it’s used for. Does Brielle know?”

＊＊＊

“I don’t know?”

“okay?”

Zeon blinked at Brielle’s unexpected answer.

Brielle’s brow was furrowed.

“This pattern definitely symbolizes Siella.”

“Are you the god of the elves?”

“Yeah! But I’ve never heard of a necklace like this among Lady Siella’s sacred items.”

Brielle carefully injected mana into the necklace. Siella’s furnace also accepted Brielle’s mana and regained its original form. However, there was no change in the rusty necklace.

“Will it change if I put it in contact with the brazier?”

Brielle took Siella’s brazier out into the subspace.

A divine energy was felt from Siela’s brazier, which had regained its original appearance.

Brielle placed the necklace on Siella’s brazier. Still, nothing much happened to the necklace.

“It seems like another trigger is needed to wake up this necklace.”

“I guess so.”

“Thank you anyway! If this really is related to Lady Siela, the adults in the village will know.”

“Have you decided to go to the village?”

“Okay! I’ll go to the village as soon as I’m ready.”

“You’ve made a big decision.”

“I think the reason this necklace caught Zeon’s eye was because it was a revelation from Siella telling me to go back to my hometown. Otherwise, there’s no way it would have fallen into my hands at this particular time.”

“Maybe so.”

Zeon nodded.

Perhaps it was fate that he had entered the secret warehouse of the goblin market and discovered this rusty necklace.

In that case, it could have been a set procedure for him to go to Brielle’s village.

“Oh, and Levin?”

“He came in for a moment and then went out again. He said he was going to the crocodile den.”

“It looks like you’re going to meet Jetoya.”

“I think so. I guess I’m busy anyway.”

“That’s part of his charm.”

“That’s true.”

Of the three, Levin was the one with the most affection and affection.

Always look out for the people around you, and whenever you have time, make sure to visit them and check on them individually.

That’s why it has the most followers.

To exaggerate a bit, half of the people living in Sinchon knew Levin, and half of them liked Levin.

Levin had that many connections.

“I’ll come back when the time comes. Don’t worry too much.”

“Don’t worry. I have the ability to protect myself, so why worry?”

“Ghosting?”

“Yes! There’s no need to worry, since most Awakened people can’t even inflict a single wound on Levin’s body.”

“Tch! I wish I had awakened that ability.”

“Instead, you have Lily. And Gaia.”

“that’s right!”

Brielle smiled bashfully as if to say, “When did you ever get so sullen?”

Unlike Gaia, Lily’s summoning time was not that long.

Because Lili was still only a low-level spirit.

As Lily grows, the summoning time will become longer and longer.

Because of that, Brielle summoned Lily whenever she had the chance and took care of her while building a bond with her.

Brielle asked, looking out the window.

“Is Gaia still in the sky?”

“Neo is flying around Seoul and having fun.”

Gaia was floating freely in the sky far above where people’s eyes could not reach.

Although it was invisible to Brielle’s eyes, Zeon, who was psychically connected, was definitely aware of Gaia’s movements.

Brielle made a slightly puzzled expression.

“You don’t come down very often anymore. Tsk!”

“There’s nothing we can do, this place is too small for Gaia.”

“But tell him to come down sometimes. I’m upset.”

“I will!”

Zeon answered with a smile.

Zeon’s gaze changed as he looked out the window in search of Gaia.

Because I could see vehicles returning to Neo Seoul in the distance.

These were the cars that Jeon had seen when he went to the goblin market.

The vehicles were returning covered in dust.

As the motorcade approached, Brielle spotted Mandy in the lead buggy.

“Huh? Isn’t that Mandy?”

“You went out in a hurry earlier, and it looks like you’re coming back now.”

“What’s going on? Your expression looks quite serious.”

As Brielle said, Mandy’s expression was hard.

Mandy would never make that face unless something really happened.

Zeon’s gaze naturally turned to the back of the convoy.

When I went out into the desert earlier, I saw a vehicle that wasn’t visible.

It was an armored bus used to travel to and from the magic stone mine.

“Who came from the Magic Stone Mine?”
