Episode 131

Spot (1)

When Jeong Do captured all the people at the Round Table, including Arthur, a notification window appeared in front of him.

<You have succeeded in loading a character of the highest rank.>

<As compensation, mana increases by 10 and all abilities increase by 10.>

‘Not a word was said until the end.’

It wasn’t even a trial ticket, but Galahad didn’t say a single word. I guess he was the quiet type. Either that or I was embarrassed. How can there be only people who like to talk?

‘What’s more important than that is roulette.’

And two roulette cards appeared before Jeong-do’s eyes. The degree to which I loaded the album was wired as a conditioned reflex.

‘What’s going on?’

Now that <Patience-lv.3> has been stabilized, I wanted talent to come out if possible. It may hurt a lot, though. Jeongdo stroked the stabilization necklace around his neck. Since I had <Patience-lv.3>, I no longer had to go through the stabilization process, but it was to gain talent during battle and prevent a situation where I was writhing in pain.

Swish. Swish.

The spinning wheel stopped. The degree immediately confirmed the reward indicated by the two wheels.

<Shield Art-lv.2>, and <Curse Purification>.

‘ah. ‘It’s difficult.’

I really liked both of them.

Galahad’s shield, which we discussed just now, was truly excellent. Learning shield skills will definitely be of great help.

On the other hand, <Curse Purification> was also good.

He now has mental magic immunity and poison immunity. What if you could lift the curse here? It was almost as if he was now free from abnormal status effects.

I was worried about the degree. Because both were attractive options. This time, I decided to think the opposite way.

If one of the two is missing, what will be more regrettable later?

When I thought about it this way, the answer quickly came to me. Jeongdo chose compensation.

<You have acquired the skill <Curse Purification>.>

A difficult situation because there is no shield and a difficult situation because the curse cannot be purified.

Jeongdo expected that the situation where the curse could not be broken would be even more dire.

‘Well, shield skills aren’t a very rare talent, so they’ll come up again.’

In fact, the fact that <Curse Purification> was narrower in the roulette slot also played a role in choosing <Curse Purification>. Jeong Do gave up his regrets and walked towards the saint and asked.

“What are these people going to do now?”

The guild members of the round table are tied to one place. There were thirteen people in total. In fact, to a large extent, nothing was harmed by them. Therefore, it was judged that it was right for the saint who was directly affected to decide how to deal with them. The saint was deep in thought, and then she asked the degree.

“Were these people brainwashed?”

“yes. “Except one.”

And in response to that question, one person lowered his head. The saint asked the man, Arthur, who lowered his head.

“Arthur. “Why did you do that?”

Arthur. It seemed like the two had a prior acquaintance. Seeing that they carried out the attack even though they were close friends, it certainly seemed like they were in a hurry. Arthur muttered in a gloomy voice.

“… What can a sinner say? do whatever you want. “I will accept it.”

“Arthur. He’s not that kind of person. “He may be stupid, but he is an upright person.”

“… … .”

Arthur remained silent. Jeongdo felt like the story wouldn’t end like this, so he joined the conversation between the two.

“From what I heard earlier, it seems like your wife is being held hostage?”

I flinch.

Arthur shivered. She asked, startled, as if she had never guessed who the saint was.

“yes? Sister Merlin? Arthur! “What the hell is going on?”

“… shit. okay. I’ll tell you. Now Elena has collapsed from an unknown illness. “No matter how hard she searched, she couldn’t even find out the name of her illness.”

“And the person pretending to be Jesus said he would cure you if you helped him?”

“okay. It’s as they say. Triple S.”

Arthur sighed as if he had given up on everything. The saint now understood the story. She told Arthur in a voice that she was extremely worried.

“Arthur. “Maybe I can fix it, so I’ll take a look.”

“… what?”

‘okay. ‘I thought it would be like this.’

Do-do sighed inwardly. Well, considering the saintess’s personality, it was an expected result. She helps the one who attacked her. The degree admired the saintly woman’s magnanimity and foolishness, but she did not say anything. This was because it was funny that the person in question was talking like that, and that he, a third party, was interfering with her.

“… thanks. really.”

Arthur just shed tears.

* * * * * *

Jeongdo, the saint, and Arthur arrived at the Round Table guild branch.

The saint decided to ask about Round Tak’s attack on her later and advised her to rest today. There was still some work left for her to do, so she nodded and headed to her room.

Jeong Do first called Seo-yoon in Korea. It was because I was concerned about the missing Lyoel.

‘I think it went back to Spot, but you never know.’

I made an international call with some trembling. And fortunately, Seoyoon received it right away. Seo-yoon was surprised to learn that Jeong-do was in England, but he didn’t pay much attention and passed on.

“okay. “Nothing happened, right?”

“yes. “Hae-sik is crying, asking when his brother will come, but other than that, it’s peaceful.”

“okay. thank god. “Ah, don’t separate from Tinia when you sleep. Sleep together.”

“yes. It’s still like that. “Then, see you later, brother.”

Pop.

“Whoa.”

thank god. I thought she might have gone looking for another saint, but it seems she was wrong. Of course, Tinia Ara was able to call Seo-yoon here with her insurance and <Calling>, so she was not overly concerned.

‘Well then, there’s only one thing left.’

Thinking about that, I took out a mirror split in half from my inventory.

‘You said you could just inject mana here, right?’

I looked at the half-mirror with an expression of amazement.

The identity of the mirror was a communication artifact received from the dwarves some time ago. They handed it to you and told you to call them back when you got the valuable material. There was quite a bit of valuable material lying dormant in the current inventory.

The wings of a high-ranking demon obtained in the first 3rd dungeon and the corpse of a high-ranking angel obtained today.

The moment the heart of the white-haired angel was absorbed, the whole body of the white-haired angel melted and disappeared, but it was not the black-haired angel that Jeong-do defeated.

Her body also melted away, but unlike the white-haired angel, some parts remained.

Two large white wings.

And a chunk of jewelry a little bigger than an adult man’s fist. The jewel contained enormous mana.

I was already looking forward to seeing what other items I could obtain with these materials.

However, there was a bigger reason why Jeong Do wanted to enter the dwarven dungeon than creating items.

‘marble.’

It reminded me of a box sleeping in my inventory.

An unidentified bead obtained from the Demon World, or rather, from the Sugail Imperial Family, which has now been liberated from the Demon World.

It was a mysterious object whose identity could not be ascertained even with moderate observation.

The emperor handed it to himself, saying it was an item that would help the savior from the legend of Sguil. However, no matter what he did, he could not figure out the purpose of the beads.

Observation didn’t work, injecting mana didn’t change anything, and I even tried to sleep with it, thinking it might be the egg of some kind of creature.

However, there was no change in the beads. I even thought that the Emperor of Sgayl might have mistaken the savior and gave it to him.

‘If the dwarves see it, they can at least get a hint.’

Thinking that way, I injected mana into the mirror fragment.

Jijijijik.

As if he had been waiting, a crack immediately formed inside the lodgings where Jeong-do was staying. Jeong Do burst out laughing at the sight.

“I guess those gentlemen really wanted to see you too.”

Jeong-do placed his hand on the crack and infused mana into it, and soon Jeong-do disappeared from the lodgings.

* * * * * *

I entered a dungeon with a low ceiling.

This is already my third visit. The tension I felt when I first visited the dungeon has long since turned into anticipation. Every time I came here, I picked up something big, so it was even weirder that I didn’t.

‘oh? ‘There are no illusions today?’

Jeongdo stood in front of the wall leading to the dwarf’s nest. Unlike before, there was not a fantasy dungeon wall, but a thick iron door. Perhaps he remembered that he tried to break down the door the last time he visited and took precautions.

Jeong-do lightly pushed the iron door. The door opened very smoothly considering its thickness.

“hmm?”

But unlike before, there was no one behind the iron gate.

That’s strange. Until now, JIS came out to meet you and guide you around?

Jeong-do looked around for a moment and then walked away.

‘It doesn’t matter. It’s not like I don’t know the way.’

As I reminisced, I moved to the dwarves’ nest. It wasn’t a particularly complicated road, so I was able to find it quickly. After knocking lightly, I entered the dwarves’ residence.

I soon found out why Jis didn’t come out to meet me.

pop! pop!

“welcome! Calm down too!”

“oh my! “How long has it been since this!”

“Come on, sit this way. “I got warmed up.”

“You look handsome today… no? “You look really handsome?”

The dwarves set off fireworks as soon as Jeong-do opened the door and came in.

And the violent reactions that followed. I just stared blankly at the dwarves as the vision was of an unimaginable scale.

I don’t know where I got it from, but the words ‘Wolceme Jinjeongdo’ were hanging from the ceiling. Aside from Hangul, it seemed like he had already learned English.

‘Oh, you spelled it wrong.’

No, that’s not important now. After shaking his head, he asked Jis, who was in the lead.

“No, Jis. “What is going on right now?”

“huh? Can’t you see it? “I’ve prepared a surprise party for you, right?”

“… Eck?”

Why are you suddenly doing something you don’t do before?

Jis, who received some questioning looks, smiled humbly.

“greatness. There is nothing like this between us. “Isn’t everyone like that?”

“that’s right. that’s right. Oh my. Look at my mind. I have some cold beer, but I forgot. Just wait a moment. “I’ll have it delivered soon.”

“Now, sit here and tell me a story while you’re at it… “Has your mana increased a lot?”

“… aha.”

At the word Mana, Jeongdo grasped the situation.

A dungeon that appeared as if it had been waiting for you as soon as you called.

A flattering attitude and a surprise welcome party to impress oneself.

And finally, the crucial word ‘mana’.

There was only one conclusion.

Jeongdo looked at the dwarf with mischievous eyes and opened his mouth.

“Drawing?”

The dwarves went into an uproar at just one word.

“KIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECK!!!”

“Bath ablution! Ablution!”

“For my today, I haven’t missed a single day of prayer since you left. “Today we will reap the fruits!”

“… crazy.”

To some extent, I had no choice but to mutter like that. The dwarves’ condition was much more serious than the last time they met. Jeongdo asked Jis with tired eyes.

“No, Jis. “Didn’t you come to your senses after listening to the person named Li Lim last time?”

Pop.

When the name Lirim came up in the list of names, all the dwarves stopped their actions and looked depressed. It seemed unlikely that even patients suffering from bipolar disorder would show such drastic emotional changes.

“okay. Mr. Lirim. Our Goddess. “There is nothing wrong with what he said.”

“is it so. So stop gambling. This isn’t a normal reaction for everyone… .”

“But how do you do what you want to do!”

Jis shouted, looking like she was about to burst into tears at any moment. She felt a strong physiological aversion to the bushy-bearded dwarf making such an expression, but she held back and continued.

“Everyone, calm down. In our world, there is a term called withdrawal symptoms, and that is what you are now. “It might be a little painful, but if you just get over this moment, you’ll be fine.”

“Skip it over! “Can’t you see that our eyes are bloodshot now?”

Hearing Jis’s words, Jeongdo looked into the dwarves’ eyes. Just as he said, deep fatigue was etched in the eyes of all seven dwarves.

“We haven’t slept properly for a single night since you left.”

“When I go to bed, I think of that scene. What happened on that day when the white business cards fell… .”

“Hold on? You bastard! “If I tell you to live without drawing from now on, do you think you can survive?”

“… … .”

I couldn’t say anything about it.

Actually, right now was not the time to say something like this to the dwarves. Because my life has already been steeped in lottery more than anyone else here! But there was a crucial difference between himself and the dwarves.

“Because this is my skill, I can satisfy my desires at any time, but not you. So be patient. “It is right to withdraw your hand while you are still in the early stages of withdrawal symptoms.”

However, the sincere advice did not work at all.

“How could you do this to us!”

“uh. for a moment? I think I’ve seen this situation somewhere… “Isn’t this the story of drug dealers giving you a small taste of the drug and then charging you for the drug when you become addicted, saying they are running out of drugs?”

Suddenly, he was treated the same as a drug dealer. To some extent, he held his forehead as if it was a pain in the ass.

In fact, as dwarves were people who had reached a distant level, their mental discipline was not so low that they became addicted to simple gambling.

However, the degree of drawing was different.

The boredom accumulated from being stuck in the same place for thousands of years. And the fantastic fun that the lottery itself gives. Crucially, the means to reach their target with a high pass was right in front of them, so the dwarves clung to it, forgetting about the honor of being a Grand Meister.

“It’s not possible. Then, what are you going to do if someone named Lirim appears again? “He told me not to use cheats.”

“Just don’t get caught!”

“Hey. “You crazy dwarves!”

Jeongdo ended up screaming.

‘what? for a moment.’

Isn’t this good? Dwarves will be scolded, but it’s an opportunity to strengthen a white-level god by +1, right? As Jeong-do was seriously thinking about having another lottery game, Jis came forward. Before he knew it, his eyes had become serious.

“okay. That’s somewhat correct. Everyone remember the last time we did the lottery, right? White, who had been desperately trying to get chosen but was finally chosen, happened to be Lirim. “You left without all seven of us here in person.”

The other dwarves’ expressions hardened at Jis’s words. They also realized what Jis wanted to say.

“With our terrible luck, there is a high possibility that the same thing will happen this time. And if you pick Lirim this time, it won’t just end with you getting scolded.”

“Ugh.”

“that… That’s not allowed. no way.”

The dwarves trembled like aspen trees. What kind of being is this god called Lirim that makes the seven Grand Meisters tremble? Jeongdo really wanted to pick out the god Grimim again.

Jis approached Jeong Do and said.

“Calm down. I was sorry for being stubborn. “If you called us, it means you have something you want to make, right?”

“Ah yes. “I found some pretty valuable ingredients.”

“Good. Making things is our main job. “I wish you all the best in the future.”

Jis said that and offered his hand to Jeong Do.

is it. Have you finally come to your senses? Although I felt a little disappointed, I held Jis’s hand in congratulations on the dwarves who had overcome their desires.

‘huh?’

An object fell from Jis’s hand that was being held. Jeongdo reflexively looked at his palm.

“… … .”

In Jeongdo’s hand, he was holding an elf’s tear that restored all of his mana. She whispered quickly in a voice that only Jis could hear.

“The reason Lirim came forward is because there are 7 candidates, right? Let’s draw quietly later, just the two of us… .”

“… … .”

I was certain to that extent.

Among the dwarves, the last person to reach the goal will be Jis.
