Arena, Alien hunting

“Corrupt Investigator? ”

Odin is surprised.

“Wasn't it hard enough for the 7th time? ”

Odin confronted my question as if it were natural.

“Of course! You want me to kill those who must have been tested at least 15 times in the 7th trial? That's absurd.”

“You can't judge it by our common sense. The exam.”

“That's right, Tsk. You're taking a dangerous test. ”

“Do you know where corrupt investigators like the Chinese investigators are? ”

“I don't know. Corrupt investigators never reveal the location of the mines. ”

“What do you mean mine?”

“Sweetness. That's what you call a gathering place. ”

“We have to find a place with lots of monsters on it, don't we? ”

Odin asked me a question.

“Him, too, but scum like the Chinese Trials get massive gains in other ways. ”

“How do you get it by killing Arena people? ”

“Yes. Arenas have a fetish in their bodies, large and small. Humans also carry large quantities of Mana. ”

“Then why don't we find the area where the massacre took place? ”

“I can't.”

Odin shakes his head.

“A world without the concept of human rights and unstable security. Massacres are happening everywhere. ”

“ ……. ”

“There's a tradition here of cremating corpses. You can guess why.”

“It's a bargain.”

“Yes. Sell or use a cremated corpse. The same was true of this war. With all the warriors cremated and acquired, I was able to recover the funds from the war. ”

Odin explains that you can often find lords who start wars to gain control or kill prisoners on purpose.

‘It's a crazy world. ’

It was a different world, not from the perspective of the people of Earth, but it felt very inhuman to me.

“There's nothing wrong with a village being slaughtered somewhere in a world like this. There are lords who take lives if they don't pay taxes. ”

“Hmph. Hard to find, I see. ”

“Corrupt investigators know they're good food for the same investigators. So they move more carefully in the arena. ”

‘I can't believe this test just happened. ’

All of the previous trials up to the 6th were related.

The first round is Red Ape.

The second round was the retaliation of the furious Red Aid horde.

The 3rd time, the Lycans encountered while escaping the forest.

Fourth and fifth time, the Elves of the Silver Clan were after.

The 6th time is the fight against the undead forces that attacked the Elves.

There was a connection between them all.

‘Wait, there can't be any sudden, contextless exams. ’

Everything is a hint!

It may seem strange, but it must be related to the last six exams.

It should have been arranged to perform the seventh test along its linkage ring.

‘What is it? We need to find that connection. ’

Suddenly Odin said, when he thought that way.

“You seem to be in a lot of trouble, so why don't you take a tour of the mansion? ”

“Oh, sure. We need to find a place to put the transmitter. ”

“I've got a place to look. Follow me.”

We climbed the spire on top of the mansion and installed a radio transmitter.

Communication is now possible within a radius of 1,850 km, centered on the Earl of Wolpenburg.

He could also see Odin's office.

There is a private vault in Odin's large office.

“Open.”

Odin grunts and opens one wall. A small space appeared about the size of the high garden room.

“Wow.”

“Magic is as convenient as science. ”

Odin's personal vault contains gold ingots and weapons.

I took out all the transponders and man-made muscle suits I had stored during the process.

Odin puts it all in the vault, and he puts on a pair of man-made muscle suits.

“It's worth a shot with Lichang now. ”

Odin says as he looks at his hollowed-out body in an artificial muscle suit.

Odin is certainly confident that he has gained 20 times more strength.

Shortly after, a tailor called Odin arrives.

The old tailor measured the dimensions of my body and said,

“I have something that looks just right for you. Can I get it for you? Or should I build you a new one? ”

“Give me that. ”

“I understand.”

The tailor politely greeted me and left.

Odin said.

“You'll be a nobleman soon, so you'll have to get used to treating people. ”

“Haha, yes. ”

“Then you must be tired from the long journey. Wash and rest. I'll get you a bath.”

“Yes, thank you. ”

I returned to my quarters and sat on the bed.

Shortly after, two servants and two maids entered my room in a row.

The two servants hold a large wooden bathtub filled with water.

Two pretty girls said politely to me.

“I've been instructed by my master to take a bath. ”

“…… Yes? ”

“Take off your clothes and come into the bathtub. ”

I was embarrassed at the thought of taking off my clothes.

Soon, Odin recalls a single, mischievous smile.

The two maids politely bowed their heads. They each carry a basket full of bath supplies.

‘Well, it doesn't matter. ’

Soon you will become a nobleman, so you will have to get used to this.

“I see.”

So I took off my clothes. I took off my man-made muscle suit and went into a wooden bathtub with warm water.

Then the girls who looked up came to me and listened to me.

Maybe it's the mood.

I feel like the eyes of the maidens are shining from my body.

‘Twas a mistake. ’

Yeah, it is.

I must be mistaken.

I am also mistaken that their washing hands are heading to a more secret place.

I had to try not to panic.

Somehow they seemed to be having fun. I think I'm smiling a little bit, but I think I'm mistaken. I will.

After finishing her bath, the maids gave her over a prepared silk robe.

The servants came back in and took all the bathtubs and bath supplies.

However, the two maids did not leave, but led me to bed.

“I have other orders from the Lord as well. ”

“May we escort you? ”

The two maids looked at me and asked politely.

The conflict was short.

“Well, I'll do that. ”

I had no reason to say no.

The maids came up to bed smiling widely.

So I spent the day unraveling the vigilante who started in the brown mountains.

* * *

“How was your rest? ”

“Yes, thanks to you. ”

“Haha, like I said, I cared a lot about a lot of things. ”

I felt ashamed by Odin's mischievous words.

“How's the outfit? ”

“That's okay. It's easier to move than I thought. ”

I was wearing a new suit that the tailor brought to me on the outside of my man-made muscle suit.

He wore a red top, similar to a tuxedo, and wore a white scarf, with a dark brown cape on the outside.

Shoes are lightweight and enchanted leather boots. My feet were light and comfortable.

The red color was too noticeable, so I was burdened, but I endured that the nobles were going more glamorously than this.

“Have you figured out how to proceed with the test? ”

“Yes, there is one pick-up. ”

I woke up briefly last night, thinking, and then I was able to figure out what the hint was.

“Oh, I'd love to hear that. ”

“As I've done so far, I thought this exam was also related to the last one. ”

“That's right. ”

Odin nods and agrees.

“And corrupt investigators hunt monsters and make their fortune, but they also get it by killing people. ”

“People are easier to kill than monsters. ”

“So I could think of one thing. ”

“What is it? ”

I said with a smile.

“You've seen Odin. ”

“I saw it, too? Hmm, I don't know. ”

Odin tilts his head.

I told you.

“Zombies climbing up cliffs. ”

“Those walkers? With the corrupt examiners... ”

Speaking of that, Odin opens his eyes to see if he's remembered anything.

I told you.

“You said in the arena that bodies are usually cremated? So where the hell did those bodies come from? ”

“Murdered people! ”

“Yes, who killed him? ”

“Contextually corrupt investigators! ”

“That's it. ”

Odin slaps his knee.

“I see. That brings me to the connection between the last exam and this one! ”

“And this, I think, is a hint to Mr. Odin's test. ”

“Of my test? ”

“If the zombies were slaughtered by corrupt pilgrims, the corrupt pilgrims would have provided the dead to the Black Wizards. ”

“ ……! ”

“Mr. Odin, did you say that? There are corrupt investigators deliberately interfering with the test. ”

“Well then……. ”

“They have a deep connection to the ultimate purpose of the test. Corrupt investigators are working with the Black Wizards to stop all the tests from being completed. ”

I explained later.

“We should return to the Brown Mountains and look at the debris. You have to look at what they look like, what they look like, what countries they're from, what countries they're from. ”

Odin nods, thinking about the bear.

“What a wonderful deduction. Kim Hyun-ho is amazing. ”

“You're welcome.”

“Let's move together. We can take this test together. ”

“I'm confident when I travel with Odin. ”

It was a special day.

It was the day I decided to move in with Odin, and it was the day I became a nobleman.

The Wizard's ID has arrived.

A small, rectangular metal plate ID.

Odin chews his thumb and drops a drop of blood on his ID.

“I, Earl Odin of Wolfenburg, present the title of Baron to Hino Kim. ”

“Hee, Hino? ”

Hino was the name his daughter Bella called me.

Odin smiled and told me.

“Here, drop some blood, Hyunho. ”

“…… Yes. ”

I bit my finger and bled just like Odin did.

When my blood ran out, something amazing happened.

“Huh?! ”

Odin and my blood twitched, and they mixed together and turned into letters.

It was engraved in red on my ID.

It was the first letter I had ever seen, but I could recognize it. It's a letter from the arena.

The letters engraved in blood were written like this.

[Baron Kim Hino]

“What do you think? Isn't it simple? ”

“I see, but does the magic on this ID react to your blood? ”

“Without my blood, I don't react. ”

“Why?”

“My family's dedicated sorcerer has enchanted me to respond to my blood. It is a strict identity society, so it is under strict control not to impersonate nobles. ”

I was surprised to see my completed ID.

Magic proves my identity.

When the identity card that no one else can make came into my hands, I felt a real sense of superiority.

It was like riding a supercar to show off your wealth.

So I became a nobleman in the arena.
