Episode 322 New slaves are always welcome
“Dragon Heart. I wish you would hand it over.”
“Dragon… heart? What is that?”
The blue dragon tilted his head.
ah. right.
This guy was a dragon from the East.
Since I only had contact with Western guys, I completely forgot about it.
In Moorim, it is necessary to replace it with an appropriate word.
“Hmm. The place where energy is concentrated in the dragons’ bodies. To put it simply, it can be called the heart.”
“Are you telling me to give up my heart?”
“That’s what I mean.”
The air froze cold at Jinhyuk’s words.
Giving up your heart means giving up your life.
“It would be good to choose your words carefully from now on, human. It is true that I have received help from you, but that does not mean I will give up my life.”
“Oh my, I heard that Yong is sure to end the relationship with Eun-won. Am I mistaken?”
“Don’t give forced Zen questions. My patience is not deep enough to accept puns.”
The blue dragon’s claws twitched.
It seems like the heat is slowly spreading.
“Or something else is fine. If I do this, I’ll be losing a lot of money, but let’s just treat it as a light tattoo.”
Grumble!
A spark flickered at the tip of Jinhyuk’s finger.
The ability to enforce submission.
It is the ‘stigma of love’.
“Are you going to put a ban on my soul?”
It’s a bit quick to notice.
Perhaps because it is a divine beast, it seems possible to figure out what type it is just by looking at its magic power.
“It’s better than giving away your heart, right?”
“I refuse. I have no intention of becoming a limb like a human. There is no reason to do so.”
I refuse… … .
I tried to go well.
I can’t do it if it comes out like this.
Wooooow!
Jinhyuk took out something black from subspace.
“Hoo. Are you saying you’re going to pull out a weapon and fight me? That’s fun… huh?”
The blue dragon could not finish his words.
“mosquito!”
Because the most fearful voice in the world rang out.
The sweet potato was held in Jinhyuk’s arms and flapped its wings.
“Okay. Our exorcist. Did you sleep well?”
“Mosquito! Mosquito Mosquito!”
“Huh? How have I been? No. I haven’t had a good time. Someone crushed my earnest request. They even saved my life, but instead, they’re trying to kill me? Can you believe it?”
“Moooogi…….”
The sweet potato roared lowly.
The cute amber eyes rolled around to find the person who had hurt their owner’s heart.
Then suddenly.
The gaze turned to the blue dragon.
The two dragons faced each other directly.
“omg!?”
A sound of inhaling air came from the blue dragon’s mouth.
My body flinched without realizing it and tried to fly into the air.
Because he knew that if he attacked an ancient species, he might actually die, instinct rather than reason acted first.
“I would really regret it if I ran away from here. I really hate wasting time and effort on useless things.”
“I wasn’t trying to run away.”
“then?”
“That flame. Now that I think about it, it doesn’t seem that bad. It looks like it’ll leave a pretty nice scar. If possible, I’d like to get it stamped on my shoulder, which has thick scales.”
Blue Dragon’s attitude changed 180 degrees.
“I’m sorry, but the train has already left.”
If I had accepted the stigma at first, I was going to end it with just the stigma of being a poor soul.
sincerely.
but.
They even made me take out the sweet potatoes, so they should be punished accordingly.
“Soo, didn’t you say you would obediently follow your words? But, is that not enough?”
“The stigma is something you have to do purely as a way to repay a favor. The punishment is something you have to do in addition.”
“What… do you want?”
“Yeouiju.”
I saw him taking the ‘White Flame’s Yeouiju’ from Sima Zi.
I mean, carrying it around with the pride of being a dragon clan and all.
“That’s not possible. I can’t hand over a sacred item that contains the clan’s pride…!”

“Do you want me to tell you that life is more important than pride? Kuma. I think the new employee hasn’t quite grasped the company atmosphere yet. Just bend your waist in half.”
“mosquito!”
The sweet potato cracked my knuckles.
“…Now that I think about it, I guess I don’t have enough hands to carry four Yeouiju. Haha! Take it… hehe… take it. Take it all.”
The blue dragon handed over the white Yeouiju, shedding bloody tears.
[Baekyeom’s Yeouiju]
Difficulty of obtaining: SS
Contents: Yeouiju, one of the best among Yeouiju that can handle rain and clouds. It has the power to create small dragons. In addition, White Flame’s Yeouiju is a multi-type item that can be used in various places because it is a crystal of powerful magical power in itself.
A dragon creature imbued with powerful magical power.
The ability to control the weather and create small dragons were not bad, but there was a difference when using this Yeouiju.
‘It can be used as a material to strengthen new weapons later… … ‘It’s the best.’
In addition to Balmung, the great sword, you must have a dagger specialized for close combat.
And White Flame’s Yeouiju will play its role well in creating another purple grade relic.
good.
So what’s next… … .
“Don’t be so pushy. It’s not as painful as it looks.”
Jinhyeok stamped the ‘Flame Soul Brand’ on the blue dragon’s scales.
Cheeeeeek!
Blue Dragon gave up everything and accepted his fate.
but.
The blue dragon’s suffering is not over yet.
It’s only just begun.
“Hmm. Then, what should our Blue Dragon’s name be?”
“What’s your name?”
“Yes. Each new recruit who joins Goinmul Corporation has a cool name that is easy to call. Ah! Don’t worry too much. Even though I am like this, I am quite skilled in naming.”
I plan to give it a great name like Sweet Potato or T-Bone.
Jinhyeok, who had been thinking for a moment, smiled brightly as if he remembered something.
“Soft black crane.”
A person who always makes wrong choices and tries to catch the last train late after the trend has passed.
That is a soft black crane.
“A black-crowned crane! What kind of nonsense is this? Its body is blue!”
That too.
Does not matter.
“Why don’t you ask Orun to make some black armor and put it on you?”
Because they mainly specialize in long-distance attacks, their scales are relatively soft compared to Western dragons.
There will be a lot of close combat in the future, so you should have at least one armor that is as strong as soup.
“Then, please take care of me from now on, Soft Black Crane.”
“…….”
The blue dragon, or rather the soft black crane, was foaming at the spot.
A life of noble protection of the forest and nature, and maintaining balance in the world.
That proud life ended today.
‘mother… … .’
Blue Dragon muttered one last time before fainting.
＊＊＊
A library with numerous books.
Jinhyuk visited Rick’s personal office and sipped freshly brewed coffee.
A fragrant scent lingered at the tip of my nose.
“It’s really nice to see you after so long. Even so, the past few days have been full of talk about Jinhyuk.”
Rick burst out laughing.
He seemed very excited about the growth and performance of the player he was looking forward to.
“It was a little busy.”
“So what do you have to say by coming all the way here?”
“It seemed like a strange bond developed between the Murim and the Empire as they fought against the Heavenly Demon Church. The Murim side must have been even more grateful because they received help from the Empire in a desperate situation.”
The two forces that had been fighting and showing their fangs at each other made peace.
Promising to achieve new prosperity in their respective fields.
“I also heard the story. They said they were jointly holding a large-scale event.”
“Yes. So…”
Jinhyuk got to the point.
“With the authority of the administrator, I would like to ask for permission to broadcast the event on air. People outside the tower can directly participate and place bets on the winner. We will be able to share a portion of the commission, so we can both benefit. If this happens, it will be a benefit. There will be no loss.”
A world trembled with anxiety due to Shub Nigguras.
It is this method that can reassure people and at the same time elicit positive response through participation.
Originally, in times of war or crisis, entertainment that could relieve everyone’s tension was important.
‘You can’t waste even one minute, one second. ‘You have to secure everything you can.’
Thanks to Sima Zi making the first move, the work at Wulin was completed quickly.
It took two more days than expected until Shubniguras fully appeared.
Anyway, it would take at least one more day to finish preparing with Yeon-Hwa and Lee Tae-Min.
Jinhyuk planned to take advantage of this opportunity.
“Hmm. That’s not a bad idea. But Jinhyuk, do you know what kind of competition this is?”
“Huh? If it was a competition, wouldn’t it have been something like a martial arts competition where you would fight one on one?”
Jinhyuk opened his rabbit eyes.
“As expected, you didn’t know. That’s probably why you can be so calm.”
“What do you mean by that….”
Jinhyuk trailed off as if he had no idea.
Apparently, I heard through Penheimer that it was a competition with only one winner.
I haven’t heard exactly what type it is.
They gave reasons that didn’t make sense, like it was top secret or something.
however.
‘What is this feeling…? … .’
Creepy.
A chill ran down Jinhyeok’s spine.
Clearly, the sinister smile on Rick’s lips gave me the same feeling as the smile I saw on Fenheimer last night.
maybe… … It’s probably leaning.
“You are very lucky, Jinhyeok… no, maybe you are not lucky.”
Rick left a meaningful comment.
“Anyway, does this mean you will accept my offer?”
“Good. It’s an opportunity for me to have some fun and earn coins, so I have no reason to turn it down. Jinhyuk is someone who has a huge influence on the tower, so I can give him permission at my discretion.”
Rick nodded, still smiling playfully.
＊＊＊
The evening when the banquet is held.
Jinhyeok, who was leisurely spending time, finished the work he had not yet done.
[Current level: 126]
A level has risen by one.
Since I couldn’t deliver the final blow to Sima Zi, I thought it would be difficult to receive recognition for the experience needed to level up… … .
Such pleasant variables are always welcome.
[Magic power increases from 369 → 372.]
The place I invested in was horsepower.
‘This is also quite sweet.’
Jinhyuk smiled with satisfaction.
but.
Tiring!
Everything started to flow strangely due to the status window that appeared before my eyes.
[Due to the authority of the two forces, a ‘selection of spouse’ confrontation begins.]
… … huh?
What now?
Jinhyuk slowly pondered the words that appeared in the status window.
[Difficulty: Not measurable]
Contents: ‘Eternal Rose’ appears in the chest of player Kang Jin-hyuk. The person who gets that rose is the winner of this event.
Reward 1: The winner will be given ‘Enchanted Rings (1 pair)’. The Ring of Enchantment has the effect of increasing the target’s favorability, and receives full support from both the Empire and the Murim faction.
Reward 2: You will be given couple items that allow you to enter various attractions in the tower (cloud garden admission ticket, sea lake hotel accommodation ticket, meal ticket at a high-end restaurant run by manager ‘Matel’).
The status window seems somewhat red.
‘I guess I saw it wrong. Or maybe I’m dreaming… … .’
no.
Definitely not.
Jinhyuk swallowed his dry saliva.
[Broadcasting system is activated.]
[Viewers enter.]
[Those currently inside the Tower of Trials who wish to participate, please begin registration.]
The event has started.
at the same time.
Tiring!
Tiring!
Tiring!
Applications for participation poured in like crazy.
