Chương 94: Boom
After finishing 'breakfast', I came out to the living room and spoke to Heo Sang-hyun.
"You can leave for a while starting tomorrow."
Heo Sang-hyeon's complexion, which was originally dark, suddenly became even darker.
"For a while? then… … "When are you coming back?"
"At the earliest, probably early in the morning? If it's late, it may take a day or two. Depending on the situation, I may not be back until a few weeks later."
Although it is rare for a situation to take several weeks to occur, the possibility is not completely zero.
"Shinhwa, I don't know how you will hear me talking like this."
Heo Sang-hyun opened his eyes wide and spoke with emphasis.
"This is the Starving Mansion."
"i know. "Do you sometimes have guests?"
It is not the case that Heoju's close friends or acquaintances who have exchanged favors come to visit. There is no way such a strange person exists.
'It's a residential plunder system.'
It's an annoying system that you don't have to worry about in an ordinary house where you pay monthly rent.
A residence with special options and nice extras is not only difficult to acquire, but also not easy to maintain.
Periodically, NPCs in the same position as me or random thieves break in and try to take over my residence.
In particular, in mansions with a reputation like the Starving Mansion, there are cases where righteous solvers come looking for a bounty.
"There is someone guarding it, so there won't be any major problems."
I assured him comfortably, but Heo Sang-hyun opened his big eyes even wider, revealing his anxiety.
"All right. As much as I can... … ."
"yes? No, I know you have the ability to do that, but there is no situation where you would step forward yourself."
"but… … ."
"The guardians are the command golems in the mansion."
In addition, security spells were carefully placed on the inside and outside of the mansion. It would be difficult for the clumsy ones to even step on the courtyard of the mansion.
"And if the worst happens that everything breaks through… … "Please use that."
Then I pointed to an object floating in the air in the living room.
"That mask… … ?"
It is the mask of the dead.
"It looks a bit weird, but I think it can solve quite a few problems."
"… … All right."
It's easy to say, but my conscience is prickling a bit.
The soul of Heo Sang-hyeon's ancestor from several generations ago is trapped in that mask, which is modeled after the face of a dead person.
If you look for the reason why Heo Sang-hyeon cannot live or die, you will reach the old man.
Even though he clearly knew that, he asked me to solve it by borrowing the old man's power and magic.
"Again, there will never be a situation where you would use that."
There are parts that are constricting, so there is a lot of unnecessary talk.
"Well, anyway, I have to pack my bags now. "Please clean up the restaurant."
"… … all right."
I left Heo Sang-hyun behind and went down to the basement.
Although I made a boast to Heo Sang-hyeon, I too am a little uneasy about suddenly vacating the mansion I barely earned.
But what makes me even more anxious is what the future holds for me.
For a moment, I thought back to the last words the message window left me.
[Soon, the judges who will represent the will of the abyss... … .]
This is a hint that the main scenario will soon begin in earnest.
At this point, the fastest way to strengthen your power is through the Thousand Geumdang.
There are artifacts that can only be obtained there, and there are items that can only be disposed of there.
I said, looking around the magic materials piled up in the basement.
"Ego… … "Anyway, I need to finish this by tomorrow so I can go out with peace of mind."
What is placed on the workbench is the head of a beautiful monster shining in golden light.
The head of a golden dancer with her eyes quietly closed.
I extended my magic power towards it and activated the power contained in Cargosa's mask.
[The unique function of the L-class accessory 'Cargosa's Mask', 'Madman's Dexterity', is activated.]
Terrible screams began to echo from the dark basement of the mad wizard.
It is a truly terrifying scream uttered by a non-human being.
next day.
I returned to Geumchon-dong for the first time in a while.
"Wizard."
"huh?"
Jang Hyeon-deok, who was driving, said with a serious expression.
"You're really going to keep calling me this… … ?"
"Isn't it nice that you can make money easily too?"
"It's good that they give me a lot to prepare for the distance… … ."
Security taxi is a service that can only be found in some dangerous areas such as Paju in Cthulhu World.
Instead of providing much stronger security and safety than regular taxis, they charge an amount that is close to profiteering.
This is because instead of taxis being paid in proportion to the distance, security taxis are paid in proportion to the risk.
"Just be a driver until I buy a car later."
"Do you have a driver's license?"
"I don't have any?"
"hmm… … ."
Jang Hyeon-deok stopped talking for a moment with a puzzled expression.
Of course, the silence didn't last long, and he continued to grumble afterward. But by the time I got out of his car, Jang Hyeon-deok said the following.
"I'll be driving around nearby as a regular taxi for a while, so call me if you need anything."
"okay."
There is no point in complaining that this is what will happen in the end.
After sending Jang Hyeon-deok off, I rode the board I had brought with me into the dark alleys of Geumchon-dong.
Today's destination is Vasilisa.
Yesterday, the long-awaited call from Tudor finally arrived.
I went into Vasilisa's, and for some reason there were a lot of people there.
It was usually a cafe full of rugged mercenaries and tough troubleshooters, but today it was unusual.
Every table is full of people, and people who can't sit at the table are standing against the wall.
Various weapons and various magical powers.
Not just Koreans, but also foreigners with different facial colors and different clothes.
They are all problem solvers with different talents.
In a cluttered place where all the strange people seem to be gathered, there is someone who stands out.
He is a very neat and gentle older man who does not fit into the store.
He was sitting in a wheelchair and talking to people sitting across from him at a table.
The magic power in his body itself was nothing special, but I felt a very ominous energy somewhere in his body.
'Although it is suppressed... … A terrible poison. 'What did you bring?'
As always, although it is my first time seeing you, it is not my first meeting in the true sense. For a moment, I thought about begging him, but I decided against it.
This is someone you will have a long conversation with until you get tired of it after a while.
I turned around and headed to the counter.
"Ob, hello?"
"hi? mythology. long time no see."
The answer came back in an awkwardly broken voice, as if it had been synthesized by a machine.
A large monitor that replaces the mechanical head on a majestic body that is well over 2 meters tall.
And the smile display displayed on the monitor.
Ofda is Vasilisa's barista.
"There are a lot of customers today?"
"These days, there's a lot, boom."
Instead of the smiley face displayed on the monitor, currency units called '¥€$' were briefly displayed.
"For that matter, Orb seems less busy?"
"Anyway, Tudor is busy."
"I know. "For some reason I can't see Tudor."
No matter when I visit, I don't see Tudor lying in a corner of the store or chatting with customers.
Looking in front of Tudor's office, there are a lot of muscular men with bad eyes.
It looks like you're standing in line waiting for a consultation, right?
A sudden boom.
The fact that Tudor, which brokers work for illegal human resources, is booming means that something that will bring destruction to this world is slowly approaching.
'I was calculating the date, but it's a little earlier than I thought?'
player.
So, depending on what choices I make, what I fight with, and who I meet, a different main scenario appears every time.
The details change slightly depending on the main scenario that appears, but the most important thing remains the same.
A terrible disaster that will destroy this world comes, and as a sign of this, monsters and madmen lurking in the darkness of this world begin to run rampant.
"Tudor, I asked you to call me when Shinhwa comes, so just wait a minute."
Orb walked around the counter, went outside, and slowly headed towards Tudor's office.
'You look really nice walking.'
It is a cool and elegant gait that is difficult for even fashion models on the runway to imitate.
He has a height that is not at all dwarfed by monster-sized solvers, an upper body developed into an inverted triangle, forearms with prominent veins and muscles, and even a black apron wrapped tightly around his waist.
From toes to head.
He is a wonderful barista with Tudor taste.
I especially like the head part.
After entering Tudor's office and briefly delivering a message, Orb returned to the counter, gesturing that Tudor would come out soon.
"By the way, didn't you see the curtain call?"
"Coli went to Cheonan."
The word '天安' appears on the head of the orb.
"Cheonan? Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do?"
"huh."
It's Cheonan… … Curtain Call: What on earth did you go there for?
No matter what he does, the best thing Curtain Call does is kill people.
No, in fact, you can think that there is nothing else you can do other than that.
Even if a client hires Curtain Call, there is nothing he can do except kill people. Wooden Amitabha Buddha… … .
"ah. "There was a helitic factory there, right?"
As is the case with most properties owned by Helistic, very illegal and anti-social things are going on at the factory.
As you progress through the story confronting Helistic, you can also enjoy an event that destroys the factory.
While I was thinking about this and that, I suddenly heard Tudor's voice.
"self! Come in quickly!"
I looked in the direction the voice came from and saw Tudor sticking his head out from the office door.
To the side, mohawks wearing leather jackets are walking out flirtatiously.
Looks like the consultation is over.
"Aren't you busy?"
"I'm busy so come quickly!"
"Ah yes. "I'm going."
It certainly seems like Tudor has had a lot of work to do recently.
The office, which was usually a mess, greeted me with an even more mess.
"Why don't you ask Orb to clean it up?"
"I'm organizing it. "It was clean this morning."
"… … Right."
"Anyway, I haven't seen you yet… … ."
Tudor paused for a moment, looked at me for a moment, and then… … .
"oh… … "Isn't it amazing?"
He lets out an exclamation with an awkward expression.
"What, what's wrong?"
"I knew you were getting stronger every time we met, but this time isn't a joke, is it? "Where on earth did you pick this up and what did you eat?"
"What do you eat?"
"The quality of magical power… … It's completely different. It's toxic and smells like a corpse. "Is it terrible?"
I unconsciously lowered my head and looked down at my chest.
I did eat something.
[Echo of Asphyxiation (Legendary Elixir): A fragment of the power of the great old being 'the one who comes from the dark'.]
It is a very small fragment, which in human terms could be the size of a cut fingernail fragment.
Nonetheless, this is part of the existence of the abyss.
Thanks to this, the amount of magical power, which was already absurd, has increased to almost twice the previous level, and the quality of magical power has also improved to an incomparable level.
In addition, there were things I realized and learned new things during the period of being away from home.
It seems like he noticed that change.
"Thanks to your help, I was able to pick up some good health food."
"Hmm… … I envy that. Next time, it would be nice if you included me too. "Longer lifespan."
It's not certain, but if what I know is correct, Tudor is older than Heoju, who was born under King Gojong's reign.
If I drag this topic out for a long time, it will not do me any good.
At this point, I said something else and changed the conversation.
"I heard things are booming these days."
"Oh, right. "Thanks to you, I'm so busy I'm going crazy."
"See what's going on?"
"It's a lot of work, but there are some things that are thanks to you."
"me?"
"okay. "The one right in front of me."
Tudor smiled happily and pointed to my chest.
