Episode 235: The Arctic Festival -3-
There is no reason to refuse.
“Okay, just wait a moment.”
The Arctic slaughter is complete.
All the important ingredients have been spread out.
You can also get a green flute from deep within the stomach.
[Manpasikjeok]
It is a treasure of the Goblin Country and has the power to forcibly establish a peaceful zone when called.
Even high-level demons can be calmed down and talked to.
It even applies to deities.
It’s only for a little while, and it will go back to how it was before time passes.
‘Ready to liberate the goblins.’
The Manpasikjeok was stuffed deep into the golf bag.
After that, he sorted the Arctic materials and piled them on one side, and had Red guard them.
“[Red. Watching you closely.]”
[meat!]
“[Oh. The best beef is waiting for you.]”
I took only the magic core and put it on my side.
A broken magic core that doesn’t produce a single bit of magic power.
But it was repairable.
That is, if an 8th level wizard or priest touches it.
After I had thought about what to do with this.
“Let’s go.”
Enter the castle tower.
The elders were deep underground in the castle tower.
Because some kind of ritual was being performed.
Now that the North Pole is dead, none of this is needed.
“That’s amazing.”
pixy.
A fairy queen with butterfly wings the size of a human palm squinted at me.
“The Almighty exists… … .”
Is that because she’s a fairy?
They figured out my identity even though I didn’t show them that I was switching traits.
On the other hand, the Yong-in warrior sitting next to him just sticks out his tongue.
“What is the Almighty?”
“There is something like that.”
“Anyway, he’s smart.”
“You should learn magic too.”
“I don’t like it. One swing of the spear and it’ll all be destroyed. Why learn it?”
“What? The Arctic is dead. Should we have a go at it for the first time in decades?”
“Stop it. We have guests, so what are you doing? Anyway, you guys haven’t changed at all even though you’re getting older.”
It was Mongma who stopped them both.
It was clearly a type of demon, but it felt like it had divine powers, so it was a little funny.
Even though it is not an ordinary divine power, but a dark attribute divine power.
Mongma woke up unsteadily and greeted me.
“Nice to meet you. The apocalypse of the North Pole. I am Nightmare, one of the three leaders of this city.”
“I am Tien Long.”
“I am Alia.”
“We all feel deeply grateful to you. By ending the Arctic Festival, you saved our entire city. This is a feat that even the three of us could not have accomplished together. For this, we bow our heads in gratitude.”
Mongma bowed his head.
The same goes for the fairy who used to tease and the Yong-in who used to laugh.
He hardened his face solemnly and expressed his thanks.
“No. I did it because it was something I needed to do.”
“Whether it was so or not, it is true that we have been blessed. It has been a hundred years since the city gates were locked. The development of humans is truly amazing. And people like you have appeared.”
“You are too kind.”
“That’s not flattery at all. None of the three of us here have achieved what you’ve achieved at your age. How old are you? You still look young.”
“I’m twenty-three.”
“her…….”
“and…….”
“No matter how quickly humans become stronger… … .”
hey.
You guys are human too, right?
Just because someone looks different on the outside doesn’t mean their DNA is different.
They could clearly see humans and their offspring.
The three shook their heads in surprise.
Then the fairy shows curiosity as she looks at the magic core on my side.
“Human hero. What are you going to do about it?”
“I intend to transfer it conditionally.”

“Conditional?”
The magic core can be used in several ways.
Crafting special potions, equipment, or consumables, etc.
At first I thought about making equipment, but the problem is that there is nothing special to make.
I have everything.
From head to toe, only SSR-grade equipment.
Remaking it completely from scratch, like a monarchy?
There’s nothing I want to take away from my current gear set.
I thought about making a sword or a spear, but I’m not sure…
Having too many weapons is also not good.
So I decided.
“Please use this magic core to extract the ice pack. Then I will transfer the entire magic core to you.”
Bingbaek.
The properties of the Arctic.
It is an upper-level cold attribute corresponding to black flame, lightning, and earth.
It can’t be compared to the highest.
Still powerful enough.
Also, it is the last of the four attributes of Arcane Seoul.
“Can you please pick me a Bingbaek?”
“Yes. If you do that, this magic core will be yours.”
“Um… … If you pull out the Ice White, the magic core will lose most of its magic power.”
“Can’t you just fill in the missing magical power? If you let it mature slowly over time, it will be completely restored.”
hour.
That’s the problem.
The war with the old father’s sect is coming, and we can’t let it mature for ten years.
It would be better to just get one higher trait and pass.
“hmm.”
Mongma looks troubled.
Looking at his colleagues, the fairy also hesitated, but Yong-in nodded immediately.
“I agree.”
“Hey. Tianlong?”
“It’s the magic core of the North Pole. Think of it as using it for a climate control magic circle. You could probably turn this area into an octosphere, right? And you could do it so that it doesn’t affect the entire planet. And restoring the magic core? It’s not that hard. Just fix this sealing magic circle here.”
“It takes too long.”
“Where can you get a magic core like this by investing that much time? A level 8 magic core is something that cannot be obtained even if you use your magical knowledge, not to mention time, and even if you risk the lives of citizens. You have to grab it when the opportunity comes.”
An opinion that surprisingly hits the nail on the head.
The dream horse and the fairy looked at each other and nodded.
“I agree.”
“Very well. I will do so, human hero. I will accept your offer. Please hand over the magic core to me for a moment.”
I handed over the magic core.
Yong-in holds up the magic core, while Mong-ma and the fairy touch the magic core from the other side.
And concentrate your magic power.
The harmonious tri-color magic wrapped around the magic core of the North Pole Emperor.
After a while, a cold, transparent mass of magic emerged from the magic core.
“This is the power of Bingbaek that you wanted.”
“thank you.”
Absorbed immediately.
My whole body feels cold.
Like when the Arctic Emperor was having a tantrum, like when the Arctic wind was trying to freeze your whole body.
With this, you acquire the [Ice White] trait.
It was easy to eat thanks to the help of three level 8 superhumans. Otherwise, I would have had to make it into an elixir, fill the crystal tube with magical fluid, and then give it an intravenous injection, causing quite a stir.
Sssssss.
Instead, the magic core was noticeably weakened.
The color has completely turned black and died.
Mongma looked at me and made a promise.
“With this, the magic core of the North Pole is ours.”
“Yes, it was a satisfactory transaction.”
“Good. Good. Is there anything else you want?”
“I would like to request equipment manufacturing.”
“Equipment? Oh, I guess we’re going to use materials from the Arctic. Good. But shouldn’t we have some leftovers?”
“I’ll give you one magic grenade launcher for my use. If you make me ten sets of rings and necklaces, I’ll give you a quarter of the materials for the Arctic.”
“A set of magic grenade launcher and ring necklace… … Good. But it takes time.”
There are two things I was concerned about.
It was a sword and a heavy weapon.
I was also worried about the window, but I was eliminated first.
Because I am not a weapons expert, but rather a master of the sword.
Now if we create a weapons expert it will become too messy.
‘The mystery is good, though.’
Sword, wonder.
no.
As a primary weapon, the Silent Sword is better than the Mysterious Sword.
What if it was the Cheonma Sword that existed only in data and was discovered by foreign gamers through data mining?
So, the final choice I made was a grenade launcher.
It has a cold attribute that is specific to it.
Imagine using a fire-attribute rocket launcher and an ice-attribute grenade launcher together.
This is truly the best, strongest, and most effective combination.
“Good. Is there a shape you want?”
“I’ll give you the blueprint. Make it as similar as possible, but make the specifics easy to understand.”
What I handed over was an infantry automatic grenade launcher.
This is a magazine-type grenade launcher, not the 6-round revolver-type grenade launcher used in the past.
Of course, I grew up ignorant.
It was incredibly heavy.
I couldn’t carry it around because it was too heavy, but it’s different now.
“What kind of magic should the ring and necklace contain?”
“I’d like some regular magic. Some cold attribute attack magic for mana storage, some splendid numbers, some attribute resistance, and if possible some environmental adaptation or defensive magic.”
“Ugh. I guess I’ll have to think about this. I brought something that’ll give me a headache.”
“Why don’t you take that much instead?”
“That’s why I’m making it without saying anything. You’ve done a lot for our city.”
The elders got straight to work.
I also helped from the side.
Outside, there was a festival going on, and voices calling for me flew in every day, but I just let it pass.
Because I don’t have time.
I need to get my compensation and go home as soon as possible.
[Masitjeop!]
He never left the castle tower, except when he was transporting the super-fast plane inside the castle and giving Red a beef bomb.
“It’s finished!”
A week like that.
A new grenade launcher has been completed for me.
“This is… … .”
I can’t help but be impressed.
A grenade launcher that appears to be carved from a piece of crystal.
It looks like a fat rifle on the outside, but it has a few different corners.
Right, the magazine.
In the place where the magazine should normally be, there are ten crystal pieces clustered together like a honeycomb.
The fairy explained each piece of crystal as she pointed at them.
“This one is a Bingbaek grenade. When the light comes on, it means it’s loaded. When the light goes out, it means it needs to be recharged.”
“I can charge it with my magic power.”
“Ugh. If you inject Bingbaek magic power into it, it will charge at a certain amount of magic power. Even if you leave it alone, it will charge all 10 rounds in a day.”
“The power is also worth seeing. It may not be comparable to the icicles used by the Arctic Emperor, but it is much better than the average ice attribute magician.”
One room is full of mountain cries.
The speaker is this grenade launcher.
“I would call it a hail storm.”
10-round automatic fire.
Here’s a disaster caused by rapid charging.
It is truly worthy of the name hail storm.
The three elders also laughed with satisfaction.
“It’s a fitting name.”
“It sounds strong just hearing it!”
“Okay. We also have a gift prepared separately.”
Mongma gestures to one side.
Then, instead of the servants we had seen so far, the three captains who had been with me came in one by one.
Each of them was holding an item.
A large magic saddle.
Elbow toshi.
Finally, the dragon-shaped whistle.
Oh, I guess they made it easier to ride Red.
Not bad.
It was already quite uncomfortable to be stuck between the scales.
It’s hard to swing a sword. It’s hard to aim a gun.
The captain elf extended his elbow to me first.
“Human Superman. Take a look at this.”
“I feel some magic, what is it?”
“I call it the symbol of unity. All three together.”
A sign of unity?
I did as I was told and kicked Toshi on the elbow.
My golden fleece extends from my hand to my elbow.
It fit perfectly, as if it had been made with a ruler.
It covers the elbow area and is connected to the Golden Fleece, providing perfect protection.
The rock giant handed me the saddle this time.
“Your Majesty… … Please fill the dragon with this. Then blow the whistle once and the dragon will travel to its own subdimension.”
“Is that possible?”
“Yes. It is an item left behind by a knight who protected our castle in ancient times. It is one of the few items in our castle.”
I know what it is.
Vehicle compartment.
If the game’s quick slot is implemented in the form of a weapon house, the vehicle slot is implemented as a symbol of solidarity.
In fact, you don’t need any elbow grease or anything in the game.
Each character had a mount slot in their inventory.
“Thank you. I was thinking it would be nice to have something like this anyway, so this is great.”
“Yes. No matter how strong and fast the enemy… …the ancient dragon is, it is no match for the plane you rode in.”
“It seems that the outside world has developed a lot while we were sealing the city gates.”
“We sent people to academic societies and also sent many spies to industrial companies… … .”
“There were limits.”
Isn’t that obvious?
A stagnant pond without communication will slowly rot away.
It’s fortunate that the incomprehensible races of the opposite s*x are finally waking up to reality.
Also, the magical knowledge that has been passed down from ancient times is also excellent.
“Take this too.”
The elders took care of this and that.
Gold bars, magic gems, various consumables, mysterious castle specialties, powerful magic weapons, etc.
It reminds me of the Brazilian Pocahontas.
I got something similar there too.
But there is something else I want to receive.
Did you read my mind?
The elders and the captains suddenly took on solemn expressions.
“I heard that you have a very big enemy.”
“you’re right.”
“We want to help you just as much as you helped us. Just tell us anytime and we’ll rush over to help you. Even if that means dealing with a god.”
This is exactly what I wanted.
They had not made a pact or a contract, but they could be trusted.
They are essentially human, but after suffering and being persecuted, they chose a different race identity.
Because once you say something, you keep it even if a knife is put to your throat.
I also hardened my face solemnly.
“Thank you. I will contact you when something happens.”
The elders cannot participate in the war.
Because it has been sealed for decades, it needs to be purified.
If you rest for a year or so, you’ll recover, but there’ll be a war before then.
Instead, these three generals will participate in the war.
Even if the other captains stay, they have to protect the city.
Among them is the Winter Queen (Jin), so she will be of great help.
Perhaps this is the greatest gain from this trip to the North Pole: the call of the dragon and the alliance of different races.
Whirlyrick!
Red did not fight back and was sucked into the sub-dimension.
[meat!]
Just shouting this one word.
He said he would be happy if I gave him 100 Korean cows, so he saddled up.
As I looked at that big dragon and thought it was cute, I felt a sense of alarm that I shouldn’t grow old like that.
Guaaaang!
The supersonic plane started up.
The magic engine turns wildly.
At the same time, a magic runway unfolded, and a path of light soared into the sky in a gentle diagonal line.
“goodbye!”
“Thank you!”
“The human superman is the hero of our castle!”
Citizens came out in droves.
The large square was full.
When I looked through my ears, I saw a series of zeros printed on the numbers.
A whopping 2 million people.
Most of the alien races living in the Incomprehensible Castle came out to see me off.
Among them, there were level 7 captains, elders, and level 8 grandmasters.
“Be careful on the way.”
“Bye! See you later!”
“I wish you good luck. You will definitely win!”
The destination is South Korea.
But not Seoul.
There was a place to stop by before that.
It’s Goblin Land.
The time has come for the sealed goblins to be released.
