Level Up

< Croccilia City 2 >

The name of the city was Crocchia. This place was naturally blended with non-humans and xenophobes.

And the city was surrounded by tall, thick walls.

It was a pretty big city. It was amazing to see the huge city surrounded by such thick, tall walls.

And we could see that the threat of the devil was significant.

The horse-drawn horse-drawn horse-drawn horse-drawn horse-drawn horse-drawn horse-drawn horse-drawn hordes are about three.

Although each one was strong, I came this far. I only met three of them, so I thought the world under the bottle would be more unstoppable than I thought.

“Maybe we're lucky to see the walls...... or maybe there's a lot of war going on or one of them. ”

Ryu Ji-hye looked at the wall and said her opinion.

“Anyway, let's go inside. Shouldn't we be out there getting maps, getting intel? The Dark Forest or something? ”

Ryan looks at the stone and adds.

“And find the Mash King's Tower. Right?”

Hyun-seok nods, smiling bloody. That's right. We'll find the Mash King's tower.

Originally, the goal of the stone was to find a connection. But I heard the name of the Masu King's Tower, so I couldn't go there.

The reason Hyun-seok wanted to go there was because of the token.

Hyun-Seok completed a quest to communicate with God and took his mind to the next level.

As a result, I could see the unseen question marks.

It was a result that matched exactly my objectives.

The question mark identified by Hyundai was four tokens.

In fact, when I checked, I was really surprised. To be honest, I thought it would be an Emperor's Token or a King's Token.

Just by looking at the kind of skills there. Obedience, gastric pressure, collapse. So it was natural for me to misunderstand.

Hyun-seok suddenly looked down at the third token on his wrist.

[3rd Token]

[The third of the four signs that proves the Horseman King. Contains some of the power of the Horseman King. Can be used at level 100 or higher. Only available to those who exceed the Magic Power. Contains a skill frenzy.]

[Insanity-compliant subjects are subjected to insanity. The user triples its attack power and halves its Defense stat. Out of frenzy, your HP is depleted.]

‘King of the beasts...' ’

And the Mash King's Tower. There were no coincidences. It's as if he's already prepared for himself.

This was the reason why Hyun-seok left the rock rats in the vortex black market uncluttered.

This obedience or intimidation was not a skill against humans. It can also be used on humans, of course, but the effect is not that great.

Instead, it has a really big effect on Shamans.

Stone Rats belong to relatively weak horseshoes. That's why it was very easy to handle through pressure and obedience.

In the vortex black market, they were hidden all over the vast dungeon while maintaining the right number of rock rats.

If there was one attacking the black market, it was a plan to buy time with the Stone Rats.

Stone Rats are hard to cope with, even if they are not strong horseshoes.

Stone Rats were a magician who instinctively learned how to fight as many as possible.

It would be a gold medal if it could be used there, but it was useless right now because Hyun-seok needed to stay in the black market.

‘You can use it in a different way. ’

When dealing with multiple horsepowers, these skills will be really powerful.

That's why I wanted to go to King Masu's Tower even more. There's got to be something there you want.

The conditions under which you can enter the tower itself are tokens. It was too obvious that it meant the King of Masha's Token without further confirmation.

I walked around talking lightly, and then I arrived at the gate.

There were a lot of people lining up at the gate. And there were soldiers guarding the gates.

“You're not just letting me in, are you? ”

The soldiers guarding the gates were only letting people through after investigating and identifying something in their own way.

The group does not conceal its curious expression, gazing at the scene.

“I didn't know this world would unfold in a dungeon. It's just... I thought it was just a world where witches judge. ”

In fact, the black hole experienced by most players was much closer to the instant dungeon of the game than it was to another world.

If you don't clear the dungeon, the water supplies will be reborn. If you break the core of the dungeon, the dungeon itself will disappear. Moreover, the lost dungeon reappears in time.

So it was a natural response and thought to look closer to the game than to the real world.

But this place is nothing like those black holes.

“To be honest, there was absolutely nothing in Whitehall in the production area...... ”

Everyone nodded at Ryu Ji-hye's muttering. Ryan told me about it.

“I didn't do it the first time. Or drunk. It's just that the horseshoe you killed won't come back. ”

Everyone glared at the words and looked at the soldiers guarding the gate and those passing by the gate.

“So...... it's not like Whitehall and Blackhole are any different. ”

The ambiguous thought was that Whitehall was a real world, and that a black hole was a world made up.

In fact, there's something strange about black holes. It's like it's not a real world.

As you release your thoughts to the narrative, the line drops and it's your turn to join the party.

The soldiers start to panic as they see the outfits and atmosphere of the squadron.

“Where are you from? ”

Hyun-seok looked at him for a moment and replied, seeing the soldier asking in a stolen manner.

“Northern swamp. ”

“Yes?”

The soldiers look at each other puzzled. Northern Cienaga? Where the hell is it?

“Ah! North! You mean the province of Pedero. Have you been hunting horses? ”

Hyun-seok nodded roughly.

It looked like Pedero was referring to the entire area around the area, including the swamp where the frog horses appeared.

At that moment, I noticed that not only swamps but also a large number of horses live nearby.

There were probably a lot of seaweed hunters out there.

The soldiers ask again with a embarrassed look on their faces.

“You need to tell me where you're from, not where you're hunting. If you have a seal... ”

The soldier says that and tries to hide his strange expression. Generally, these nobles only need to put a seal on them.

Then you can enter without having to stand in line. You don't even have enough rope, and you don't even have a seal.

This was either an inexperienced child or an inexperienced nobleman, or it had to be one of the two.

Hyundai suddenly came up with a name associated with the city of Crocchia.

Of course, he didn't say that. He read the information by identifying the magic patterns on the seals.

“I'm here to see Earl Xenon. ”

“Yes? Earl Xenon? ”

The soldiers were startled. Earl Xenon's family was alive and well here in the castle of Croccilia, overseeing the entire wall's history.

Earl Xenon has been missing for a while and reappeared, having become more powerful than ever and firmly established his position.

“I'm sorry. But anger, confirmation is needed. ”

Hyun-seok nods at the soldier. A few soldiers politely escort the group inside.

The paused inspection resumes. The people who stood in line outside the gate went inside one by one.

* * *

The group enters the barracks near the gates and waits for Earl Xenon.

More precisely, I was waiting for a soldier to inform Earl Xenon of the arrival of the stone.

“Who the hell is Earl Xenon? ”

Ryan asked with a curious face. Hyun-seok took out a piece of paper.

Ryan takes it and checks it out, looking at the ledge with a strange eye. It was definitely written by a man named Xenon. It was also a sealed document, a contract.

Ryan was well aware of what this document was. because I saw it with my own eyes.

“How did you know this man was in the city? That's amazing. It's not even in the papers. ”

I did not say that the string was written in the magical pattern of the seal.

“They'll come anyway. It hasn't been that long. ”

“If they know I'm the one waiting here, they'll come. ”

Lyon's expression stiffens slightly.

Thinking about it, he just came to see Earl Xenon. He didn't say anyone was here for something.

“Does Earl Xenon know your name? ”

“I don't know.”

Ryan looks at the stone with a silly look on his face. What if I make such an important agreement and don't even tell him my name?

Isn't this going to be a problem?

As soon as Ryan tries to say something, the entrance to the barracks opens wide, and someone sneaks inside.

Everyone's gaze is towards you.

Ryan and the heat of the cold flash a little. I've seen that face somewhere. Of course, the memory was unclear.

I didn't remember the faces of the people I saw on the island very well.

However, if you have a familiar face like this, you will be okay with one of them. They're the only faces I know.

“I knew you'd come for me. ”

Earl Xenon smiles and approaches Hyun-seok.

When he heard about the person who came to him, he realized that it was a stroke.

As soon as I heard that he was from the swamp to the north, the province of Pedero, in the atmosphere of the nobles without putting a seal on him, I remembered a stone.

“Good to see you. Come on, let's go home. ”

Earl Xenon said so and left the barracks again.

The squadron follows behind.

The watchers stare in amazement at Earl Xenon and his group.

I preached and rebelled. In fact, he spoke to Earl Xenon because the atmosphere was so overwhelming. It used to be normal for soldiers to handle things on their own.

The soldiers sweep their chests away. If it had been handled as usual, no one would have survived.

It was fortunate that Earl Xenon was part of the family guarding the walls.

Earl Xenon was just staying close to the wall, making it easy to contact him.

With the attention of such soldiers, the group heads to Earl Xenon's house.

* * *

“Gasoline. It's a mansion. ”

Ryan whistles at the mansion. They all had similar ideas.

“The size of the city and the world in this dungeon is really...... unusual. ”

It seemed like there was another small world. Horse dungeons are a different dimension of the world.

“This way. Come on, let's go. I'm still a little stronger in this house than I thought. Hahahaha.”

Earl Xenon welcomed him more than he expected.

In fact, humans wrote contracts, but they thought they were more likely to be excluded than greeted.

Earl Xenon personally escorts the group to the mansion. It was a place that was reserved for important guests.

Earl Xenon is treating his group that much.

The servants, maids, and butlers of the cabin are in a commotion due to a sudden intrusion of unreachable guests.

They moved sparsely to prepare for the guests.

“Rest now. Even for me, I have to report it. Let's have dinner together and talk later. ”

Earl Xenon looked at the stone with an anticipated eye.

I told him as if he didn't have to.

“We're on our way. ”

“What? Coming right up? I came as a guest to my family, but shouldn't I say hello to the housekeeper? If you're a noble, too. ”

Earl Xenon shined his eyes and said, However, Hyun-Seok was just as bold in saying that.

“We need a detailed map. And information about the Dark Forest and the Horseman King's Tower. ”

Earl Xenon frowns. But soon, I nodded.

“Well, that's a promise, so I'll make sure you're prepared. But I want you both to know that it's not an easy request. It's not something you can prepare right away. ”

Earl Xenon quickly said, looking at him quietly.

“I'll be as quick as I can. But I can't promise that I'll do it forever. So understand that part. ”

I can't tell you not to be funny. Hyundai nods lightly.

Earl Xenon smiles brightly.

“Thank you. I'll see you at dinner then. We'll see you then. Rest well."

Earl Xenon looks at the butler, politely speaking.

Then the maids came and stood next to each other, two by two.

“If you need anything, just let me know. ”

The butler says so, wrapping his arms around his stomach, he bows politely.

Then I took a quick walk out of the reception room along Xenon. There seemed to be a lot to say.

The group looks at the attendants with embarrassment, curiosity, and curiosity.

Hyun-Seok kept staring at the back of Earl Xenon, who was getting away without giving the maids any attention.

The stone's eyes flashed once.

The End
