127 – A precious treasure to someone! # 4

127 – A precious treasure to someone! # 4

“The inside of this tower is extremely nymph-friendly…” ! Look at the flowers blooming so abundantly… !”

We entered the interior of the tower.

As Oinoi said, the first floor of the tower was like a garden where all kinds of flowers were blooming and butterflies and bees were flying above it.

It must have been the inside of the tower – that is, the interior of the building – but it was truly amazing how the blue sky and clouds were floating and the sun was shining.

Lee Jeong-hoon, who had a lot of experience as an S-class member, explained it.

“They say this tower itself is a huge crack. Several cracks formed around this tower, forming a huge ecosystem of another world itself.”

Because it is an abnormality created by the combination of several cracks, there are different environments on each floor.

Even though the island suddenly appeared, there were still many surprises in this world.

“That means we collected a lot of flowers… ! When I go home and make a flower necklace and crown with this, I want to gift it to my future wife, Kore Jina… ! Then, the reserve kore becomes the kore… !”

Coris begins to pick the flowers.

Oinoi followed suit, picking flowers and putting them in her hiking bag.

In many ways, the atmosphere feels like a picnic.

Except for the nymphs, of course, they were busy keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.

“Lee Jeong-hoon. You said you left your colleagues on the second floor, right? “Where is the way up?”

“The location and location of the exit and stairs keep changing. “I heard reports that there are several stairs leading to the upper floors, so there must be one somewhere around here.”

Yuari was also looking around like a meerkat watching an eagle.

It was clear that the Black Ops team, known as China’s black enemy, was bothered in many ways.

“Heuksabang guys are famous for using whatever means they can. If they see Senior Ildo, they will definitely try to kidnap him and take him to China… !”

It was a very radical idea.

I thought about forcibly kidnapping people and taking them to their country, but Ari’s thoughts seemed very steadfast.

“In China, there are few cracks that open, so the 5th industry lags behind and there are few strong awakeners… ! There is only one S-class awakened person. That’s why we are so anxious to bring in talented people from other countries!”

“Is that so?”

I think I’ve heard of it too.

Although China is a large country, the cracks that opened were extremely small compared to the population and land area.

So, the number of awakened people is about 1/100 times that of Korea.

Among the population of 1.3 Billion, there is only one S-class awakened person.

“It’s actually a good thing if fewer cracks open and the number of S-class awakeners is small.”

It means that people are safe.

Nowadays, people think of cracks as oil fields or bonanzas that open in the air, but cracks were originally something like a disaster.

However, in the era of the 5th industrial revolution, China, unable to utilize resources within the cracks, had no choice but to fall further and further behind on the international stage.

So, the Chinese government’s strategy was to bring awakened people from other countries to China.

“Now that I think about it, there was a paper a while ago about the creation of cracks that said that powerful awakened people cause cracks, right? Was it Dr. Edward?”

A strong awakener summons a strong rift.

And strong cracks make the awakened stronger again.

Thanks to this infinite bondage, Korea has become the country with the most cracks in the world.

If the number of such awakened people increases, many cracks will open in China.

With that feeling in mind, the Chinese government is said to be eager to attract foreign awakened people to its country.

“Senior Ildo is truly a great person! “It’s natural to target other countries!”

Yuari screams loudly.

I somehow felt embarrassed.

「An incident where 1.3 Billion people in China were shocked by the dog squirrel on Hail Island!

China: We admit defeat.”

MeTube videos with large yellow letters written on the thumbnails seemed to pass before my eyes.

Ah, anyway, did this go too far?

It was then.

“I’m asking you to look at that something swaying over there… ! That means there is a clear path to the treasure-filled soil on the second floor… !”

Unlike Oinoi and Coris, who were picking flowers, Nymph Illinois, who was only interested in making money, pointed at something with her hand.

There was a portal-like portal in the air, and its translucent oval shape reflected another space.

“That’s it! “We have to go there!”

Lee Jeong-hoon shouted loudly.

He ran first.

“Shine! “I’ll go!”

# # #

If the first floor was a peaceful flower garden, the second floor was a rocky field where quite powerful monsters came and went.

A rocky field.

Is the expression a bit strange?

But in fact, there were rocks and stones scattered everywhere.

“… “Is this the Manahydrolite?”

Zek-.

Lee Jin-ah picking up a rock.

“It just looks like a stone?”

Even when I looked at it, it looked like a stone.

However, if you process it just a little, it becomes an ore with incredible energy efficiency.

“Muhuh, you’re just taking everything…” ! That Illinois will become a super rich nymph than any other nymph in the world… ! It’s totally Forrest Gump… !”

Padad, padadadat-.

Illinois threw away all the water and food from the bag he had brought with him and packed rocks into it.

It looked very heavy, but Illinois carried the bag and shouted as if he were not tired.

“Now that Illinois is not just Illinois, it is Kaiser Illinois… ! When calling Illinois, I ask you to say Kaiser Illinois… !”

That seems to be the case.

Zek-.

I also packed a rock in my pocket just in case.

However, what I had to do first was to find Lee Jeong-hoon’s colleagues.

The B-class monster “Devil Mantis” Wandering around nearby was quite scary.

A two-meter-tall red praying mantis that stands on two legs and boasts four clawed feet.

━Samath, Samaaat… !

“Go! Kalinoi!”

━Whoo, whoo… !

“Ah! Because the tiger owl is a bird, it is very strong against insects such as praying mantises and honey ants… ! That fearsome devil, the mantis, is no match for him… !”

It was very easy to defeat the monster through the mana compatibility of the creatures.

The problem is the progress and status of the rescue operation.

“Lee Jeong-hoon, your colleague may have been seriously injured in some cases. “Ariya, please be prepared to provide first aid at any time.”

There was a possibility that it was already too late.

At least the remains should be recovered and returned to the family—of course, such a cold-hearted story could not be brought up in front of Lee Jeong-hoon.

“It’s over there…” !”

At that time, Lee Jeong-hoon, who was looking around, shouted.

Lee Jeong-hoon ran with ‘Padadat’.

The guy was very happy when he found something in a crevice in the rock.

It was a container that could be called a small case, and it was something I knew well.

“It’s a charger bag, right?”

This was the bag I also used to charge my steel spider Miong.

Lee Jeong-hoon said as soon as he opened the charging bag.

“Uh… doesn’t exist… ! Shine, where is it? Shine!”

Lee Jeong-hoon’s colleague, Shinnari.

This guy is said to be a cool spirited squirrel with a smooth blue color!

“… What. He said he came to save his comrades. Was it an AI squirrel?”

Lee Jin-ah frowned slightly.

“Well, that…” .”

It was only then that Lee Jeong-hoon began to tremble and become restless. When I asked Lee Jeong-hoon what his relationship was with the colleague who was going to rescue him, he subtly gave a vague answer-.

Lee Jin-ah asked.

“Have we come all this way to save the spirit squirrel? “Well, you seemed in such a hurry that I thought you had come to rescue my beloved fiancee.”

“That… You are my precious colleague! Shining!”

Dangling, dangling-.

Just then, I heard the sound of bells.

Lee Jeong-hoon quickly closed his mouth and put his index finger to his mouth and made a hissing sound.

Shhh-.

What is it?

There was a huge rumble on the ground.

When I turned my head, I saw a monster-like figure about 4 meters tall walking around with flashing blue bronze skin.

━It’s strange. The sound. I heard it.

This guy was a monster with scars all over his body.

Looking at that scene, the nymph Oinoi trembled and said softly.

“That guy is Argos, the watchman… ! He is said to be a giant who had a hundred eyes, but all of them were sealed away by the god Hermes and was chased away somewhere… !”

He is a giant whose eyes have all been sealed.

From noble mtl dot com

I asked Ari.

“What do you think the risk rank is?”

“I think the subjugation rank will be S class. “He’s a dangerous opponent.”

“Yes. It seemed like it would be so. But luckily, if you can’t see, there’s no need to deal with it. Avoid fighting with that guy. “I think my ears are a bit bright, but most of my other senses seem dull.”

Avoid an opponent you cannot defeat.

That was a strategy for survival.

Illinois said as everyone nodded at my story.

“Looking over there… ! I, Kaiser Illinois, discovered a strange cage attached to the monster’s waist… ! There’s a squirrel inside… !”

As Illinois said, something resembling a birdcage was hanging like an ornament on the belt tied around the giant’s waist.

Inside, there was a squirrel with a sky-blue body crouching, and its appearance was similar to that of a dog squirrel, and I immediately felt a sense of familiarity with it.

“Rain, shine… !”

That guy will shine as Lee Jeong-hoon’s precious colleague.

Zek-.

Soon, Ari pulled my arm and asked.

“Senior. What should I do? Contact is inevitable for rescue. That monster, “Blind Sentinel Argos,” Is definitely a subjugation level S-rank monster. According to Lee Jeong-hoon, it responds to ‘mana.’”

In order to be rescued, you must encounter an S-class monster.

The S-class monster was a monster that could only be subdued by an S-class awakened person, and Oinoi said, “He is a scary guy…” It was clear that it was powerful enough to warn, “!”

“Preparing to die to save AI is… It must be stupid after all… ? I somehow got this far. I don’t think I can bear to ask you to die. I am….”

After-.

Lee Jeong-hoon sighed.

The boy’s eyes could not leave the giant’s waist.

“Yes. “It’s stupid.”

I nodded lightly.

Then, he took out a cat from his pocket and said.

━Zuji… !

“But abandoning a colleague is even more foolish. This operation is not a subjugation, but a rescue. There’s no need to defeat or subdue the monster, just save Shinari. And you get out safely.”

I thought of Jeonghoon Lee’s dog that I couldn’t bring because of his allergy to squirrels.

If Keongkeong had been locked in that cage, would I have run away, leaving him behind?

No.

That’s not possible.

If it had been me, I would have tried my best to save it, and if I didn’t have enough strength, I would have asked others for help.

It was Lee Jeong-hoon’s radiant voice.

“Haildo, you….”

Lee Jeong-hoon looked at me with a shocked face.

The corners of his eyes were clear, moist, and sparkling.

“I knew you would say that if you were a senior.”

Zek-.

Yuari takes out a short scalpel from her pocket.

Soon, Jinah Lee also put on the gauntlet.

“Then let’s finish it quickly. “What do you want to do?”

Everyone was quick to agree.

These are the people I brought in as trustworthy colleagues.

Now all that remains is the operation.

Then Oinoi spoke.

“This Oinoi has a good opinion…” ! We nymphs know what the giant Argos’ weakness is…. It is clear that we will be able to save Bitnari without anyone getting hurt… !”

“As expected, that Kaiser Illinois also had some kind of plan… ! If you use that method, you will definitely be able to cook Argos like a cake… !”

“This Coris also knows very well what that method is…” ! That means we can definitely defeat Argos… !”

Warak-.

They were nymphs who raised their hands and danced a nymphal dance of joy.
