Episode 176
Delos of the Odriatic city-state confederation.
The party was coming out of the Golden Tower.
“Uh… is this okay for us?”
Choi Hyun-seok made a trembling expression.
“what?”
“It was Richie and that warrior Liam. Aren’t the two most important ones alive?”
“so?”
“That… It’s a bit much to take all the money…”
Park Hyun-ah’s face suddenly crumpled.
“Are you a fool? The information was wrong to begin with, the information! But it’s enough to do this. As a result, the Oddria Union is safe. Isn’t that enough?” “Um, that’s true, but…”
Choi Hyun-seok still had an uneasy look on his face.
“Aha! Even so, does our noble warrior’s conscience prick you?”
Park Hyun-ah clicked her tongue and shook her head.
“Then there’s nothing I can do. I guess I’ll have to put the money back in.”
As Park Hyun-ah tried to put the heavy money bag in her arms, Choi Hyun-seok grabbed her wrist.
“Why are you like this? Our warrior can’t accept such dirty money?” “Sister. There is no sin in money.” “You should have done that a long time ago.”
Park Hyun-ah smiled and held out her purse.
Choi Hyun-seok, who took the bag, was surprised at how lighter it was than expected.
“What is this? Is it fake!?” “What does that kid think of people? It’s a magic pouch with space expansion and weight reduction. It’s a service, so take good care of it.” “Oh… but this. How much is inside?”
“Three thousand gold.”
“Th, three thousand gold!?”
“Don’t use it alone. Share it with your companions.”
“Yep! Thank you!”
Choi Hyun-seok took a saluting pose and laughed heartily.
Three thousand gold.
Just looking at the pockets made me feel full.
“But Sister. How much money is three thousand gold?”
“What does that mean?”
“I still don’t have a good grasp of the global economy…”
I know that three thousand gold is a lot of money.
Gold. I mean, we’ve already experienced how valuable a single gold coin is.
But I was curious what exactly I could do with these three thousand gold.
“A mansion! Can I buy a mansion?” “What about a mansion? For three thousand gold, I can build a small castle.”
“Seo, your last name!?”
“Yeah. If you insist on a mansion…”
Park Hyun-ah, who had been thinking about the prices here for a moment, continued speaking.
“Even if you buy a mansion in a decent city, five hundred gold will be enough.” “Three thousand gold… Even if you buy a mansion, you still have two thousand five hundred left…”
Suddenly, Choi Hyun-seok lowered his head.
“A mansion… No worries about old age… Do you have to have only one wife? Originally, these medieval rich men didn’t have wives… No… But they still have the integrity of a man…”
Choi Hyun-seok, who had been mumbling something for a while, finally raised his head.
“Sister. Let’s all just throw it away.” “What the hell are you talking about all of a sudden?” “Why can’t we just go to a tourist town and spend the rest of our lives there?”
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes were sparkling.
“I think it’s time for me to enjoy life. I’ve done enough as a warrior after rolling around like a dog for a year! Let’s just relax and have fun!”
At that moment, Rachel, who had been listening from the side, used her magical power to slap Choi Hyun-seok on the cheek.
slap-!
Only then did Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes begin to focus again.
“Oh, thank you.”
“It’s okay. This isn’t the first or second time that the warrior has done this!”
Park Hyun-ah looked at the sight with a disgusted expression.
‘These kids. I feel bad…’
There was a warrior and a dedicated fairy who for some strange reason I didn’t want to get close to.
“Ahem! Anyway, I know it’s a lot of money. Thank you!” “Don’t do anything stupid and put it in your inventory right now. If you lose it by mistake, I’m scared of what kind of crazy thing you’ll do.”
Choi Hyun-seok made a troubled expression when told to put it in inventory.
“That’s… I don’t have any inventory yet.” “No inventory yet? How many warrior points do you have right now?” “Probably five thousand, five hundred…”
Choi Hyun-seok opened the status window and checked his warrior points.

Choi Hyun-seok blinked.
“Why are there so many…?”
There were a whopping 7,500 warrior points.
Not only that, but the level has also increased.
The level I checked after killing the last undead was 988, which is 10 more than that.
It was clear when I saw that the bonus points were 10.
“no way…”
Choi Hyun-seok additionally manipulated the status window to view the records.
‘As expected. There was a warrior quest.’
By the way, something like an alarm went off during the battle.
I was so anxious that I skipped over it without even reading it, but it looks like there was a warrior quest among them.
Choi Hyun-seok clicked on the warrior quest marked as ‘Completed’.
★☆★☆ Warrior Quest! ★☆★☆
Oh no! The ghost of the long-fallen kingdom of Balington has awakened!
If we leave them alone, humanity will suffer great harm.
As a regular warrior, you can’t just sit by and watch, right!?
Defeat those who have returned from the dead and save the poor dead!
· Objective: Defeat the undead army · Additional Objective: Eliminate Sarah Dunphy · Additional Objective: Eliminate Liam · Additional Objective: Destroy the First Warriors · Reward: A large amount of experience and 1,000 warrior points
The content was extremely long, but it ultimately consisted of defeating the undead army.
Choi Hyun-seok checked the message log.
[The undead army has been defeated!]
[Completed the warrior quest]
[Receive 1,000 Warrior Points]
[Gain a large amount of experience points!]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]

… .
[Completed the additional objective ‘Destroy the First Knights’!]

[Gain a large amount of experience points]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
… .
‘You didn’t even know you had received and completed the warrior quest? You must have been really out of your mind.’
I could see anew how fierce the battle was back then.
“Why are you standing there blankly? How many points do I have?”
Choi Hyun-seok came to his senses and answered Park Hyun-ah’s question.
“You have 7,500 points now.” “Are you at the Advanced Warrior Shop?” “You’re still Intermediate.”
“Really? Then upgrade it and buy the inventory too. 7,500 points shouldn’t be too much.”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded and immediately checked the store upgrade.
‘This, this thousand points…’
My eyelids are fluttering.
It only costs 2,000 points to upgrade the store.
I wonder why they give points for warrior quests if they are going to recover them this way.
Choi Hyun-seok pressed the upgrade button with trembling hands.
Bread and butter~!
The message floated out with a familiar fanfare.
[The Intermediate Warrior Shop is upgraded to the Advanced Warrior Shop!]
Choi Hyun-seok checked out the upgraded store.
[Advanced Warrior Shop]
– Ability
– Item
There was no particular change.
It’s still an interface that doesn’t feel like it has even a shred of sincerity.
“Did you upgrade?”
“yes.”
“Then go into the Abilities section and click on Purchase Abilities under the Details section. Your inventory will be there.”
Choi Hyun-seok checked the detailed ability items as Park Hyun-ah said.
– Purchase of abilities
– Purchase Skills
– Speculation generation
– Create magic
I found my inventory by pressing the ability purchase button at the very front.
‘Here it is.’
– Inventory (F): Has an inventory of 100x100x100 space.
It’s a brief explanation.
The unit of the number 100 is centimeter.
So, in the end, it means a small space with each of the length, width, and height being 1m.
I thought 5,000 points was too expensive for its size, but considering its utility, it was a necessary ability.
[Would you like to purchase inventory (F)?]
“okay.”
I checked my remaining warrior points after purchasing the inventory, and there were only 500.
Choi Hyun-seok let out a deep sigh.
“I feel empty. I worked so hard to collect them…” “Anyway, except for a few, they’re useless. I told you that you’ll have points left over later.”
“Is that so?”
“I have accumulated tens of thousands of points, but I upgraded my inventory to Grade A, so there’s no point in using them anymore.”
Park Hyun-ah’s words provided some comfort.
“By the way, how do you use this?” “If you want to open your inventory, you’ll see something like a box in the air. Put whatever you want in there. When you take it out, do the opposite.”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded and thought about the inventory.
Then a translucent box appeared in the air.
‘Can I just put it here?’
I put the pouch into the box and closed my inventory.
“Oh? It’s gone?”
“It’s been stored.”
“It’s nothing special, but it’s amazing.” “You don’t feel its weight, and since it’s stored in the same condition as it was when you put it in, food or corpses won’t rot. It’s very convenient.” “Why put a corpse in it…” “If you keep doing heroic things, there will come a time when you will be needed.”
Park Hyun-ah continued her explanation with a sly smile.
“For example, a dog-like nobleman
If there’s a bastard, you just cut off his neck and put him in your inventory. Then you destroy the evidence! How convenient is that?” “No matter how you look at it, this is something a villain would do, not a hero.” “You punk. There’s only a little difference between a hero and a villain.”
Park Hyun-ah patted Choi Hyun-seok on the back.
“Anyway, now that everything is over, let’s get going.” “Where are we going next?” “Now that the case is solved, we should go report it.”
***
The party returned to Ultimoon Fest Village using the teleportation gate inside Delos.
Park Hyun-ah went to see Sullivan, who had given her the mission.
“I see…”
Sullivan’s expression darkened at the news that Sarah Dunphy and Liam had run off.
“I’m sorry. I should have gathered more information on this side… I ended up asking you to do something too difficult.” “Well, it’s okay since you survived in the end.” “We will continue to track that Lich named Sarah Dunphy. I’ll tell you again when I get more information.”
“okay.”
“Then are you going to go back to Inemosit right away?”
Park Hyun-ah shook her head at Sullivan’s question.
“No, this time I have a favor to ask.”
“What is it?”
Sullivan’s head tilted.
Because Park Hyun-ah rarely asked for anything.
“Please take a look at this.”
Park Hyun-ah pushed Choi Hyun-seok.
“Huh? What’s going on?” “Your body. I decided to examine it properly. Sullivan is an expert in that area, so leave it to him.”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded with a trembling expression and walked forward.
“Uh… This is my second greeting. I’m Choi Hyun-seok.” “I’m Sullivan. Thank you so much for helping me this time.”
Sullivan smiled.
“So what should I look for? Were you wounded in this battle?” “No. That’s not the issue.”
Park Hyun-ah, who had been thinking about something for a moment, scratched her head nervously.
“Okay! Just take a closer look at Choi Hyun-seok’s body. Then you’ll know what I’m talking about.”
“Hmm? I see.”
Sullivan grabbed Choi Hyun-seok’s wrist.
And then he slowly started to let out his magic power.
“Don’t resist. I’m just observing.”
“yep.”
Sullivan’s expression became increasingly distorted as he examined every nook and cranny of Choi Hyun-seok with his magic.
“What is this…?”
“Isn’t it strange?”
“Yeah… this is like…”
Sullivan opened his mouth.
“It looks like a mineral, not a person.”
“yes?”
***
Same time.
Sarah Dunphy was walking through an unknown forest.
Liam, whose wounds had not yet healed, limped behind her.
“Wasn’t it a really interesting time?” “… Sorry. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Sarah smiled brightly.
“I thought I knew everything. Looking back, I realize how arrogant I was.”
Sarah Dunphy rose to the top in an era when magic was everything.
No one on the continent knew magic better than she did.
Sarah thought at that time.
He said that he had reached the end of magic.
What remains before this is the realm of the gods, not of humans.
I thought so, but it was an arrogant mistake.
“Divine power and magic. This is clearly a power that is different from magic, yet similar.”
The strange powers of magic and divinity.
He even returned from the dead using a strange magic called necromancy.
“In this era, there are unknown things that I do not know about.”
Sarah Dunphy realized.
He still has a long way to go.
There was still a lot of learning and progress to be made.
“First of all, I must completely control this necromancy. How dare you interfere with my mind… I don’t like it.”
Undead raised through necromancy have an unconditional hatred for the living.
It was quite a hassle to control this.
In fact, it also caused a lot of interference in combat.
First of all, I planned to completely control this.
“Then where… shall we see what principle it is based on?”
A deep smile appeared on Sarah Dunphy’s face as she delved into the art of necromancy.
‘I can learn more and become stronger.’
Life given again.
How much magic can we see in this life?
Even though I was an undead, my heart felt pounding even though it wasn’t beating.
