◈ Episode 88. made a plate (2)
It was a unique place.
The first thing I saw was a floor made of black wood.
The next thing you see is a very unique pattern on the black wood wall.
In the middle of such a huge room, someone was sitting at a desk with a lotus flower pattern engraved on it.
Yes, literally it could only be described as ‘someone’.
It was as if the blinds had been pulled down so that I couldn’t see that ‘someone’.
How long has it been since someone sat at a desk with the blinds drawn like that?
A man appeared in front of him.
Unlike the man with the blinds down, there was a man wearing black clothing and a simple sword.
He bowed briefly to someone behind the blinds and then opened his mouth.
“Lord Labyrinth, the disaster is over.”
A word from a man.
At this, Migungju, who had been silent until now, opened her mouth.
“That’s fast.”
A bizarre voice that makes it difficult to tell whether it is a man or a woman, or whether the child is young or old.
However, despite the voice of Migungju, the man opened his mouth without any reaction.
“yes. “The disaster ended faster than you said.”
“How long did it take for the first disaster to happen last time?”
“It’s five days.”
“How long did it take now?”
“In terms of time, it’s about two hours.”
The man’s answer.
In response, Migungju in the blinds spoke in a voice mixed with laughter.
“As expected, it was a spur-of-the-moment idea, but it wasn’t a bad choice to turn those who stole their names into constellations instead of sending them back to reincarnation.”
“Certainly, I think it is because the overall level has risen to an incomparable level compared to before.”
“If we train a little more this time, we can get a lot of useful things.”
At the man’s words, Migungju muttered in a voice still filled with laughter and asked after a while.
“So, was there anyone else who played an active role in solving this labyrinth?”
Labyrinth’s question.
The man paused for a moment, but then spoke.
“I tried to check it separately, but perhaps because the disaster disappeared so quickly, I couldn’t see the inside properly, so I couldn’t check it.”
Man’s words.
Migungju was silent for a moment and then spoke.
“Hmm, it’s a bit weird that I didn’t see the inside of the labyrinth.”
“sorry.”
“No, it’s not like that. “I’m just going to check it a little late anyway.”
“Then immediately prepare for the next one… … ?”
Migungju nodded and answered the man’s question.
“Yes, if the disaster is dealt with this quickly, there is no need to worry anymore. Spread the ‘name’ right away.”
“… … “How much should I spray?”
“To what extent… … .”
Migungju begins to worry once again about the man’s question.
However, after a while, Migungju opened her mouth with a smile.
On that.
“… … All right. Then, I will do as you ordered.”
The man disappeared immediately.
And Mi-gung-ju is left alone in the room again.
“It looks like there will be a good harvest this time.”
He muttered in a laughing voice.

[…] … So what you’re saying is that they’re going to start spreading their names out soon?]
“yes.”
When Kim Joo-hyuk told Barce about the conversation he had with the guide, he seemed to think for a moment.
[Well, it’s really new.]
“What?”
[The Lord of the Labyrinth is a piece of trash.]
“yes?”
Kim Joo-hyuk agreed with Barce’s words and recalled the conversation he had with the guide yesterday.
Yesterday, Kim Joo-hyuk, who immediately defeated the boss of the labyrinth and went to see the guide after taking care of the labyrinth, was able to hear the whole story from her.
Why did she tell Kim Joo-hyuk to quickly catch the boss and bring back the name of the boss?
Now to what will happen in the future.
‘It’s to block the view… … .’
The guide said that as soon as Kim Joo-hyuk first brought him the ring that absorbed the boss, he used the power contained in the name to temporarily block Labyrinth Master’s vision.
The reason is to keep Migungju from paying attention to ‘Kim Joo-hyuk’.
More precisely, he said it was to make the owner of the labyrinth mistaken.
To make the owner of the labyrinth think that the labyrinth itself, rather than the individual named Kim Joo-hyuk, has grown tremendously.
Of course, why on earth did Kim Joo-hyuk need to mislead Labyrinth Ju by the words of such a guide? I asked a question.

The guide said:
‘As you know, Labyrinth Master is farming with the goal of producing a high-quality name to build up his power even a little more.’
‘But no matter how much the goal is to produce a high-quality name, the owner of the labyrinth cannot indiscriminately inject hardship and adversity into it. If you do something wrong, you will perish without being able to save a single good name.’
‘But what if the owner of the labyrinth mistakenly thinks that the labyrinth is bigger than expected thanks to the ‘constellation’ he added this time? It’s not just a ‘disaster’ like this, it’s going to give us stronger hardships and hardships to create a better name.’
“… … .”
Kim Joo-hyuk kept thinking about what he heard from his guide.
‘Obviously, since the disaster ended so quickly, that bastard will give names to the constellations in your world that he sent down to the tower with them to destruction. To create suffering worse than disaster.’
‘In the first place, when he created the constellation, the reason he created the constellation with the people he sent down to the Tower of Destruction was for conflict, so of course he will give strength to that side.’
‘Especially since the disaster was cleared so quickly, he’s probably going to spread out quite a few names to create a lot of quality names. Then that time-‘
“-It’s an opportunity for me.”
Kim Joo-hyuk recalled what he heard from his guide.
First of all, it is said that once the Labyrinth Lord sends a name down to the Labyrinth, that name cannot be retrieved until the Tower of Destruction comes down.
If so, that would be Kim Joo-hyuk’s chance.
‘Once you retrieve the name, you can absorb or use the power contained in the name.’
The important thing for Kim Joo-hyuk now is to regain the strength he had during his prime.
No, if possible, become stronger beyond the peak of 300 years ago.
Therefore, this situation was not too bad for Kim Joo-hyuk.
In the end, there was a way for Kim Joo-hyuk to become stronger other than training.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who was thinking so, gathered his thoughts for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“uh?”
[Why do you do that?]
“Now that I think about it, aren’t you, strictly speaking, a follower of the Labyrinth Lord?”
Barce shook his head in response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, who suddenly remembered that what was inside the village sword was Barche, the lord of the Tower of Destruction.
[Should I have told you? I also got stabbed in the back.]
“Hmm.”
[…] … what? What about that strange, suspicious look?]
“Try being a Labyrinthju bastard.”
[…] … what?]
“Try to play Labyrinthju bastard.”
At Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, Barce made a “huh” sound as if he was dumbfounded for a moment, but then raised his voice and spoke.
[You can’t believe me!]
“No labyrinth?
[미궁주 개새끼! Are we done now? If I had been on the side of the Lord Labyrinth to begin with, I wouldn’t have said that-]
“Three cheers.”
[what?]
“Say three songs.”
[미궁주 개새끼! The labyrinth bastard! Labyrinth Lord you bastard!]
“oh.”
Kim Joo-hyuk exclaims as if he is satisfied with Barce’s voice.
Looking at him like that, Barce sighed and spoke.
[…] … As I said, I am also a victim. I also want to get my name back.]
“Well, I understand that. “It’s not like I didn’t believe it in the first place.”
[Then why did you order it?]
“To have fun.”
[…] … .]
In fact, Kim Joo-hyuk didn’t even think that Barche was Labyrinth’s follower, but even if it was a secret follower, it didn’t matter.
Why?
‘If they attack me, I can immediately destroy the village sword.’
And Kim Joo-hyuk shrugged his shoulders because he thought that it wouldn’t be that bad if Barce took the name he received.
[I feel like I’m having some scary thoughts… … .]
Barche, who was looking at him with a suspicious expression, soon sighed and spoke.
[Rather, as the guide said, when do you think you will lose your name?]
“I heard that the world will begin to shake in earnest not long after the disaster is over?”
[Then we will start moving in earnest from then on.]
“yes. Well, until then, I’ll have to build up the strength to retrieve my name.”
Kim Joo-hyuk came to that conclusion and got up from his seat and headed to the training room.
So I’m on my way to the training room.
[This is Adelia Bentrick. There was something I didn’t tell you earlier, so I called you again.]
“What?”
[This is a story about the mass murder that Kim Joo-hyuk was assigned to investigate last time.]
Kim Joo-hyuk was able to hear some new information.
####
A luxurious mansion that is Baekjang’s hideout.
“Hmm.”
Alchemist John was making a strange expression as he looked at the image of Kim Joo-hyuk playing in front of him.
That’s because Kim Joo-hyuk’s power, which was revealed by this disaster, far exceeded Alchemist John’s expectations.
‘Class A? No, it’s not even A-level, but it can be considered S-level.’
I knew that Kim Joo-hyuk was outstanding.
However, even so, Alchemist John, who did not think it was at such a ridiculous level, watched Kim Joo-hyuk’s video several times.
“… … “If I assassinate Kim Joo-hyuk at this time, it would be a brilliant debut.”
As John continued to speak, the man in front lowered his head and spoke.
“Of course, if I could kill Kim Joo-hyuk at this moment, I think it would be a very spectacular debut… … “His strength is greater than you might think.”
“It sure looks that way. “If we had sent the troops as we had prepared in advance, we could have failed.”
The man lowered his head at John’s words.
Because he was right.
Of course, the number of troops sent to kill Kim Joo-hyuk was certainly not small, and their quality was not low.
However, the force that Kim Joo-hyuk showed in the face of disaster was beyond imagination.
If he had tried to assassinate Kim Joo-hyuk with only the troops he had prepared, the man lowered his head because he thought that the assassination team could have been completely destroyed by Kim Joo-hyuk.
How much time has passed like that?
John, who had been staring at the black screen the entire time, suddenly opened his mouth.
“Let me handle it.”
“… … “Then shall we increase our troops further?”
“Yes, if we have that level of force, we must definitely increase the number of troops. Besides, the current Kim Joo-hyuk has become a guy worth taking the loss to catch, right?”
“that… … That’s right.”
Although only a few months had passed, Kim Joo-hyuk’s value had clearly changed from before, so the man nodded.
“So, just to be sure-”
Alchemist John saw him like that.
“This time, I’ll participate too.”
I got up from my seat.
