“So, hold the center with the telesium, and the outside… … .”

“… … Would the robbery be okay?”

“Hmm. If you’re going to use it at the Milles level or higher, it’s better to use better materials.”

Vulcanus and Abel started talking with serious expressions as if they had never quarreled.

Even if he just said what he wanted, great things would come out, but Abel had no intention of doing that.

It was because what Abel wanted was not a moderately good weapon, but a soldier that was perfect for him.

“Can I use a softer material for this one?”

“No. If you look at the direction in which force is applied, you can’t just soften it. You should use a material that has good elasticity.”

So the two talked for nearly two hours.

Abel had meticulously conceived it, and Vulcanus was also an excellent craftsman, so the result was satisfactory.

“Whoa. Talking to you makes me feel tired as if I stayed up all night.”

“That means it’s an intense conversation time.”

“I mean quite simply.”

Vulcanus had a smile on his lips as he continued to scold him.

“If there are any changes or problems, please contact me separately.”

“It’s okay as long as you don’t get out of the big frame.”

“It’s okay. To be strict, he’s a tougher guy than me. I have no intention of making halfway things.”

he said straight up.

Abel smiled at that.

I knew that with Vulcan’s skills, no matter what I made, nothing halfway would come out.

“by the way… … .”

Vulcanus looked over the blueprints he had drawn while talking and opened his mouth.

“Can you really use this like Milles?”

The two-handed sword Abel ordered was huge.

This is because it is designed for continued use even after upgrading to a higher period in the future.

Of course, it was bound to be a burden for the Milles class.

However, Abel answered casually.

“sure. Don’t you know my skills?”

Vulcanus laughed at those words.

“You speak well. If you don’t handle it properly, I’ll take it back, so know that.”

“Don’t worry. If I use it well and get good materials, I will come back to upgrade it.”

“okay. I’m going to work again, so go.”

“Yes, yes. I was trying to do that anyway.”

Since he had finished his business and had no intention of disturbing Vulcan, Abel said hello and moved on.

“Abel! bye!”

“Next time, come visit us when you are free!”

On my way out, I was greeted by the muscular staff once again, and when I arrived at the lobby, Kaya smiled and started talking to me.

“Is the talk over?”

“huh. I’ll come back when the next thing is finished.”

“okay. Next time, tell me in advance. Let’s eat together.”

“It’s good.”

After talking with Kaya like that, when he came out, the cool air greeted him.

Abel stood for a moment and then walked to one side.

Not towards the wagon, but in the opposite direction.

There was still one more thing to see.

* * *

The area where Vulcan’s workshop is located is famous for being a crime zone.

The road where the carriage first stopped was at least better.

At most, pickpocketing is enough, but the atmosphere is to refrain from any more crimes.

If there is a commotion and the guards are dispatched, it will be quite a headache.

However, the story changes when you enter the alley between the main roads.

‘It’s literally like a lawless zone.’

When Abel first came here, he wandered through the alleys without knowing anything and was beaten several times.

jerk, jerk.

But now Abel was walking down that alley.

Swoop-.

The man who was spread out on the floor in front of him heard footsteps, glanced at Abel, and turned over.

Abel looked at her and walked past him, putting his hand on his waist.

After a little distance, there was a rustling sound from behind.

‘also. Nothing has changed here either.’

The beggars nestled in the alleys are not just beggars.

Nine out of ten of them turn into robbers when they see an opportunity, so don’t let your guard down.

No matter how well-trained a body is, if it gets hit in the vitals, it will die the same way.

Although tolerably, he would not be stabbed by the swords of ordinary robbers.

Abel looked around nervously.

‘It must be about this.’

The place I visit now has changed places periodically.

I knew roughly what patterns they moved, but it wasn’t that easy to find them because the alleyways were so complicated.

After wandering through the alleys for about thirty minutes, Abel found a bluish iron door at the bottom of the stairs.

‘found.’

Abel went down the stairs without hesitation and knocked on the iron door.

thump, thump-!

There was a knock on the door, and I felt a human presence inside, and then I heard a low, subdued voice.

“What is the password?”

“Where is the password? Don’t bullsh*t, open it.”

Abel immediately responded in an annoyed voice.

Then, not long after, there was a click and the door swung open.

A dark-skinned, bald-headed man appeared through the open door. He looked at Abel and replied in a gruff voice.

“Abel. Long time no see. It is still unsuccessful.”

“huh. You are ugly too.”

“You wanna die?”

“Killing me won’t cure my baldness.”

The man narrowed his eyes and looked at Abel, then smiled.

“Come in.”

Although they lashed out at each other, in reality they were quite friendly.

This is because he had done several chores before entering Vulcan’s workshop.

Abel followed the man inside.

When he arrived at the hall where the tables were close together, the strong smell of alcohol filled his nose.

“Shouldn’t you ventilate?”

“I think it’s a bar only when it smells like alcohol.”

Instead of answering the bullsh*t, Abel walked inside.

Inside the bar stood an old man with black hair and a suit.

The old man said to Abel while wiping his glass with a cloth.

“I’ve been hearing your name quite often these days.”

Abel answered as he sat down on a chair in front of the bar.

“Have rumors spread this far?”

“It has to be so great. When I first saw it, there were no beggars that were squeamish.”

“At that time, it was right.”

Picking up and eating discarded food in a restaurant, then being beaten by other beggars for trespassing on their territory.

No matter how I ate, 90% of the food was spoiled, so I would lie down immediately. Honestly, to the extent that I think surviving is the dragon.

Abel’s knowledge of the game did not help him survive in the body of a young boy on the street.

What helped at least was the memory of living as a modern earthling for over twenty years.

“okay. He was obviously one of the common street orphans. Apparently.”

After saying that, the old man raised his head slightly and looked at Abel.

“But there was intelligence in his eyes, and his actions and words were not the same as those of his age. That’s why I gave you the job.”

“Aren’t you praising me too much because it’s been a while?”

“well.”

The old man, who put down the clean cup, looked at Abel in earnest and said,

“I thought it could be anything. I never thought that I would enter the Klein family and enter the academy.”

“I was lucky.”

“okay. You must have had a lot of luck It’s not just that, though.”

The old man smiled and said.

“Is that why you came today?”

“yes.”

Abel nodded and pulled out a pocket from his bosom. Then he opened the bag and placed 10 gold coins inside on the bar table.

The old man picked up the gold coin and checked it.

No matter how close they were, they were thorough in this respect.

The old man nodded his head only after carefully checking all 10 gold coins.

“Del Kior’s gold screen is enough.”

“Then can I get the goods?”

Abel looked at the old man.

The old man was the owner of this tavern, an information dealer, and a fence at the same time.

There was a reason why I came here to ask for work in the first place.

It was because there was something that could only be gained by building friendships with the elderly.

Of course, it was information that I knew through the game. It is a ‘hidden item’ that only the deceased know about.

However, it was not possible to obtain it simply by building friendships.

The conditions were as follows.

friendship beyond a certain point.

More than a certain amount of honor and reserve rider status.

Finally money.

I had to have all of this.

Abel had finally come to the conclusion that he had met all the conditions.

“hmm.”

The old man fiddled with the gold coins, seemed to be contemplating something, and then nodded.

“Wait a moment.”

“yes.”

He turned and opened the door behind him and went inside.

How many minutes did you wait? The old man returned with a box the size of a fist.

“This is the thing.”

“May I open it?”

“Ask me one more time before that.”

The old man stared at Abel and said.

“I haven’t found anything particularly special about this, and it’s an object that doesn’t feel any magic. Even if I took it, it would be nothing more than a souvenir.”

“okay.”

“okay. Are you still going to buy it?”

“Sure.”

When Abel answered without hesitation, the old man sighed and answered.

“okay. It’s me, I just need to sell stuff.”

“It won’t be useless. I want to see what the structure is like and if there are any hints for dealing with them.”

In response, the old man silently put the box forward and took the gold coins.

Abel grinned and picked up the box.

“thank you.”

“Thank you. Since I bought the jar, I should say thank you. Come over for a drink next time.”

“Am I still old enough to drink?”

“Since when did you care about that?”

After that, Abel had a few more conversations with the old man and went outside.

Of course, I didn’t forget to joke with the bald man who was guarding the door on the way out.

“Next time, come in the evening. Don’t come during the day tired.”

“Then I’ll come over in the evening and make you tired.”

“Ugh.”

Leaving behind the sighing bald head, Abel left the basement bar.

And after climbing all the way to the stairs, Abel let out a long breath.

‘at las.’

Along with the exhilarating sense of achievement, anxiety overtook him. The box in my hand felt heavy.

It felt as if someone was aiming for this right now.

But Abel calmed his anxiety and took a breath.

‘No one knows the value of this.’

I thought so in my mind.

Abel put the box in his arms and started walking again. It was time to return to the carriage.

I wanted to open the box right away and check the contents, but I was going to wait until I got to a safe place.

‘Let’s wait a little longer. a little bit.’

When I came, I was a bit confused about the location, but it wasn’t too difficult to retrace the way I came and go out.

On the way out, there were vagrants who tried to quarrel or take advantage of the gap, but most of them retreated without even trying.

There was an atmosphere that could not be ignored from Abel.

Thanks to this, Abel was able to quickly reach the place where the wagon was.

“Are you here?”

“yes. Sorry for the long wait.”

“no.”

The coachman must have waited quite a long time, but he bowed his head without a sign of tiredness.

Abel told him to go back to the academy and got into the carriage.

The business outside is over.

The next outing should be when something went wrong with the weapon production or when it was completed.

widely-.

Abel closed the wagon window and took the box out of his pocket and held it in his hand.

The box itself was uncharacteristic.

This is because it is a product made separately from the contents inside.

“Whoa.”

Taking a deep breath, Abel slowly opened the box.

Then, a sphere the size of a fist with a complex pattern on it came out.

Abel took it out of the box, held it in one hand, and looked at it nervously, as if waiting for something.

When about 30 seconds passed like that.

[Checked ‘Core’.]

[You have completed the hidden quest ‘Heart of the Giant’.]

A message floated before Abel’s eyes.

[Reward will be given.]

[The sleeping core wakes up.]

Relief and joy flashed across Abel’s face.

After falling here, the first goal was to enter the academy, but in the meantime, I had to go through all kinds of hardships to get it.

It was just as necessary for the future as the academy cadet status.

Contrary to what the old man said was a useless object, an unusual blue light emitted from the sphere.

Abel squeezed it tightly with his eyes closed.

How long has it been?

[Who woke me up?]

A voice rang in my head.
