00055 Dungeon Of Alchemist(2) ——————————————– —————————–=

Even though a considerable amount of time had passed, we were able to move without any hindrance. As we entered the pitch-black forest, the dark blue color of the leaves and bushes seemed to gradually become lighter. It was proof that we were passing through the middle of the forest to some extent. I increased my marching speed significantly compared to yesterday, and it seemed like I could get over the break faster than expected.

“weird. “I definitely met a lot of monsters in my dreams today.”

“Hehe. They say dreams are always the opposite. brother. I’m sorry, but can I take a break? “It feels like half a day has already passed, but you haven’t rested even once.”

Ahn Hyeon tilts his head. Yujeong is out of breath. Ansol is not saying anything, but his face is pale and his lip has marks from being bitten several times. Although everyone followed him without saying a word, he seemed to have been holding back for so long. At this point, feeling the need to take some rest, I nodded, stopped for a moment and looked around. As soon as I gave permission, I heard the sound of his butt hitting the ground.

Clearly, traces of the caravan still remain. The fact that monsters were rare meant that the distance between us and the caravan was gradually decreasing. There is a possibility that the caravan that entered earlier has already dealt with the monster. However, two questions arise here.

If I had information about the Alchemist Dungeon, I wonder if it would have been necessary to go there and kill all the surrounding monsters. Another thing is, if you went after killing the monster, why can’t you see any corpses? Of course, these questions are based on my own standards, so I can guess sufficiently open answers.

After thinking deeply for a while, I quenched my appetite and cleared my head. Even if I think about it now, I can’t find the right answer. The conclusion is to follow the traces of this caravan and arrive at the Alchemist’s Dungeon as quickly as possible. In the worst case, they may have just entered the dungeon rather than captured it, but based on my memory and various circumstances, the likelihood of success was higher than failure. Moreover, we don’t have much to lose. If you think of it simply as gaining combat experience, you have nothing to lose anyway.

The moment I organized my complicated thoughts and was about to take a break, I could hear a little commotion from the kids already seated. When I turned her head to see what was going on, Sol Ahn was looking at me with an awkward look, asking for help.

“I’m wondering something useless. “Just mind your own business.”

“crazy. Don’t you know that knowledge is power? “You ignorant bastard.”

“There is a saying that knowledge is power. But when you say that, it doesn’t suit me. “I think it’s just that you don’t know.”

“what?”

Ahn Hyeon and Yoo Jeong get into a heated argument. I looked at the situation for a moment and saw that they were talking about the current hot topics: the Golden Lion Clan and the Steel Mountains Expedition. Considering the current reality, I agree with Ahn Hyeon, but I still thought that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to talk to the kids at least once.

“You idiot. Do you think an expedition is worth it with our current capabilities? “If I were to go there, I’d probably be ignored and just suck my fingers and watch.”

“Who said anything? Then, I wonder why they are going to such great lengths to go on an expedition and march. “Why do you say that?”

“I told you. That’s because you’re curious about useless things. What did you hear from Soohyun? Let’s just worry about our situation now. huh? Or is it because you have an inferiority complex to Kim Han-byeol?”

“what? Let’s take a look at this… .”

As the atmosphere began to get increasingly dangerous, I took a step inside and sat down. Yujeong, who was about to pour out a swear word, must have seen me and hurriedly closed her mouth with a frown on her face. Anhyeon was also avoiding my gaze, scratching her cheek. After looking at them both for a moment, I opened my mouth in a calm voice.

“There’s nothing wrong with being curious. Because in the hole plane, information is like life. Of course, it would be a problem if you asked out of simple curiosity or a desire to participate in the expedition.”

I could see Yujeong’s face brightening when she heard what I said. It seemed like it was probably because I took his side. Anhyeon pouted his mouth and suddenly turned into a glum face. Yujeong had a proud smile on her triumphant face for a moment, but then she looked at me and opened her mouth.

“brother. What on earth is the Iron Mountains doing that’s making such a fuss? “When I was at the inn, everyone I saw occasionally said that’s all I could say.”

After gathering my thoughts for a moment, I answered Yujeong’s question.

“Currently, the Hall Plane is limited to the East, West, South, and North continents. We need to advance to the central continent. “In order to move to the Central Continent, you must occupy the Steel Mountains.”

“Then we can occupy it, right?”

“That idiot.”

Ahn Hyun said what I wanted to say on my behalf. I laughed bitterly at Yujeong’s words and continued.

“If it were possible to take over so easily, we would have done it already. “It is said that there are monsters living in the mountains that cannot be compared or even imagined to the monsters we have encountered so far.”

“So, if you just cross the Steel Mountains, you can advance to the Central Continent? And what on earth is there in the Central Continent?”

I couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment as Yujeong’s endless questions continued. However, Anhyeon and Ansol also had curious expressions even if they pretended not to, so I felt the need to be careful about what I said. However, since I was taking a break anyway and it didn’t matter if I knew this much, I slowly opened my mouth.

“I don’t know the details either. It remains to be seen whether the Central Continent will appear immediately after crossing the Steel Mountains, or whether another preparation continent will appear. However, I heard that it has been confirmed in ancient literature that there is a large city called Atlanta in front of the North Continent. “It’s just an ancient document, but users are rushing to see a new metropolis with fire in their eyes.”

“Atlanta… What’s the benefit of taking over a big city? “If we take over that place, can we go back home?”

“no. No one knows that. but… Before that, let me ask you one thing. Yoojeong. “What do you think is the most important thing for an individual to survive in the hole plane?”

Yujeong closed her eyes, thought about my question, and answered by twisting her hair with her fingers.

“strength. ability. “Ability level.”

“yes. In other words, individual ability is the most important. “Having strength doesn’t necessarily mean you will survive, but it is true that you have a high chance of surviving anyway.”

“Yep. So, users who get Atlanta can gain power?”

I continued speaking as I looked at Yujeong, who was shaking her head.

“It’s similar. The Northern Continent is currently becoming increasingly saturated. The dungeons of a single continent are not infinite. All major expeditions have been completed. Of course, the Mule was discovered not long ago, but since it is a small town and the Steel Mountains, there is relatively little interest for various reasons. Once the stabilization of Mule and other cities is completed, there is literally nothing to do after that. You have no choice but to catch the monsters that appear from time to time. The same goes for other continents. Then, the users of the Northern Continent, who have reached a state of complete development and saturation, will also no longer be able to increase their power and abilities. It’s unclear whether I’ll be able to return home, but no one knows what will happen if I don’t have the strength. Moreover, we cannot nurture new users who arrive and have the potential to become a force.”

Although I spoke at a bit of length, I still felt like it was lacking. I cleared my throat and spoke again, looking at the kids who were so focused on what I was saying.

“So, if we cross the Steel Mountains and open up Atlanta, we will have a new base with room for development. New monsters, new expeditions, new dungeons, new equipment, etc. Above all, right now our abilities are relatively low, so we may be able to raise them relatively easily, but later on, when we reach the limit, they say that our abilities will not increase to the point where they are really terrible, right? When I pioneered the large city of Barbara a few years ago, I heard that the abilities of all users who participated in the exploration increased somewhat as an achievement reward. It is said that he monopolized all other expeditions full of rich rewards. That’s why I’m trying to overcome the Steel Mountains.”

Of course, there are still mountains to climb after conquering Atlanta. At that time, you really have to compete with users from other continents. Terra is a large city in the central continent surrounded by the so-called New World, Atlanta, and Ragnarok. And when I remembered the sacrifice I had made to obtain the Zero Code within Terra, I got goosebumps.

As soon as I finished speaking, all the kids looked at me with blank faces. His mouth was wide open, probably because he was quite surprised. Soon, Ahn Hyeon, who had been fluttering her eyes, came to her senses and opened her mouth in a slightly hurried tone.

“Tongue, bro. Then wouldn’t it have been better for us to remain in the big city? ah. Of course, I’m not doubting my brother’s choice. Still, after hearing him say that, the benefits are truly enormous. If we can develop our skills to a certain extent in the big city of Barbara and participate even at the end of the expedition… .”

“therefore. How arrogantly does Kim Hanbyul think of us right now? Ah-oh. “Just thinking about it makes me angry.”

Was it Kim Han-byeol in the end? Anhyun and Yujeong looked agitated, but only Ansol was looking at me with unwavering eyes. The look in his eyes was full of trust, and it seemed like he trusted me unconditionally after what happened this morning. I was worried that I might end up becoming a so-called fanatic, but at the same time, I also had some expectations that I didn’t know what to expect.

I cleared my throat for a moment to quiet the kids.

“Hmm. I said it before. ah. If you listen to the instructors at the user academy who are from clans other than the Golden Lion Clan, they think it would be foolish to go on an expedition or participate in an expedition right now. At least in my opinion. “Of course I’m not sure, but I think I can trust their words more.”

The kids looked a little relieved at my words, but their agitation did not go away. To be honest, it was true that I felt a little frustrated. If only I could tell you how that expedition ended up being a total disaster, and how the Golden Lion Clan suffered a miserable fall and humiliation afterwards, I wanted to tell you right away. I sighed inwardly, but I had no choice but to keep explaining because I needed a reasonable basis to make them understand. Still, it was necessary to provide at least a smokescreen.

“phew. Listen carefully. However, this is just my opinion, so don’t listen too much. Now, the Golden Lion Clan believes that the North Continent has been stabilized to some extent, so it seems they are preparing for an expedition in a hurry. But I don’t think it’s true.”

“brother. But is it possible to go on an expedition after stabilization? “Even if it’s a bit of a stretch, if you succeed, you’ll hit the jackpot.”

“That’s right. The problem is that the users’ lives are collateral for that gambling.”

When the word life was mentioned, Yujeong immediately closed her mouth. The atmosphere seemed to have become considerably heavier than before.

“I was interested, so I read the records when the large city of Barbara was taken over. The first feeling I felt after reading it was despair. Barbara is like that, but is Atlanta, which is above her, really any easier? I don’t think so. In order to succeed in the expedition to the Iron Mountains, they must saturate the continent they currently control. They say that they can completely saturate it, extract the maximum power they can currently produce, secure a certain amount of new users, and then think about an expedition. The North Continent is currently approaching saturation, but is not yet saturated. Just looking at the Mule we’re in right now, you might think it’s too early to go on an expedition. There are probably many people who think that way. It seems that the Golden Lion Clan still can’t come to their senses after seeing the situation of the Sentai Lord… Tsk.”

“huh? Sentai Road?”

I realized that I had made a mistake in my speech for a moment and ended up losing my mind. Fortunately, I had put up a smoke screen saying I had read the record earlier, so I came up with something to say to make it clear, but the thought that I should be more careful with my words from now on passed through my head. I calmed down for a moment, looked at Anhyun with a calm face, and nodded.

“They say he is the person who made the most significant contributions to taking over the current large city, Barbara. How many times have you heard about it in the User Academy? Amazing. “With just a normal swordsman class, he founded the Golden Lion Clan, currently considered the best clan, and achieved such achievements.”

I could barely feel relief when I saw the kids shaking their heads at my words.

“It is said that originally, before taking over Barbara, Hall Plain was based on the general western city of Halo and the small towns of Beth and Dorothy. “After stabilizing the eastern cities in his own way, he set out to attack the large city of Barbara, but it is said that he died because his wounds could not be treated.”

“They say that if he were still there, he would have already entered Atlanta.”

Damn. I was barely able to shut out the words I almost blurted out for a moment. In fact, entering Atlanta was barely possible until after the disbandment of the Golden Lion Clan and several civil wars. I admit that Barbara pioneered it, but even if she were alive, there was no guarantee that she would be able to occupy the Steel Mountains.

Anyway, in order to survive in Holeplane, personal strength is important, but it is also important to have a lot of knowledge in various fields. Although it was a bit of a long break, I thought it was still a useful time for the kids, so I shook my butt off and stood up.

“Anyway, the situation is roughly like this, so just keep in mind. I have no qualifications or meaning to participate in the current expedition, so just forget about it. “For now, we just have to do what we can.”

This time, An Hyun looked at Yu Jeong with a triumphant face. Yujeong nodded her head with a sallow face and stood up after me. Now the time to use the third eye was approaching. If my prediction is correct, you will probably be able to discover the Alchemist’s Dungeon within 1 to 2 days.

—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=

hello. This is Ro Yujin.

ruler. I think the pitch-black forest part will end like this.

From the next episode, the true alchemist’s dungeon story continues.

What will the main character’s group do and what events will occur?

We ask for your support and interest.

1. CrossDie: Hahaha. Congratulations on first place. 🙂

2. Energy: We will always try to publish the series with sincerity. thank you

3. Seryuin: I hope this episode has cleared up some of your doubts. If the goal or the significance of the existence of the hole plane is already revealed, important parts related to the ending are already known, so it is not mentioned. For now, just focus on . Please look forward to what will unfold in the future. 🙂

4. GradeRown: Of course it is possible. and… Corpse rape… hmm. It’s a little scary. If there are many people who want it, I can try it, but honestly, I personally don’t feel like it.

5. Fantasy: Hehe. I think your theory is generally correct. However, there is some foreshadowing in the story behind Sol’s personality. Please look forward to future developments. 🙂

6. Toranoanal: Toranoanal’s comments always make me excited. Thank you for pointing out the typo. Edit has been completed.

7. Katamunei: When the first H scene comes out, you will probably be quite surprised by Soohyun’s virility. If Su-hyeon, the libertine (?!), even solves the problem of physical strength, he becomes a munchkin with no answers. There are plans to supplement it from time to time. Please wait a little longer. 🙂

8. hohokoya1: Hehe. Please wait until I leave Mule. At that time, his actions will become so unstoppable that people who actually watch them will feel refreshed. Of course, he is still showing his true colors to some extent. Hehehe.

9. Human life: Oh my. I heard you caught a cold… ㅜ.ㅠ I pray that you get well soon! By the way, Human Life’s plan is… Hehehe.(?!)
