Main Character Hides His Strength

65. Eighth Hero (1)

The surviving golems have begun their battle.

The heavy footsteps that come over the dark horizon come to your ears like threshing instruments.

A cold night breeze passed between the two and Dragoman soon started talking.

“Desfort is set up in a coastal town called H'Harres, situated to the northeast beyond Ixion. Even if we can't find him in the city, we can still find a trail of monsters. ”

Dragoman presented the most important information first.

It's because I decided that nothing would work for Sung-chul Kim.

It was enough to know that I was not a one-on-one opponent to watch, talk, or talk.

In fact, Drago's judgment was appropriate.

Kim Sung-cheol, who had the answer he wanted, picked up Arm Karaz and muttered, staring north-east.

“Hadres.”

If you walk casually, you'll catch it for a couple of days, but if you hurry, it's about two days away.

If we can meet Desport there, maybe we can end the second disaster we've been through.

Defeating the leader of the Seven Heroes, let alone whether Drago's words are true or not, is the most important aspect of the second disaster.

‘Let's take his word for it. ’

Even if Drago only tells a lie, nothing will change in the big picture. However, the only penalty for Kim Sung-cheol is the delay in resolving the second disaster.

Dragoman looked at Sung-cheol Kim and saw the opportunity and opened his mouth again.

“Bestiare is in Ixion, in addition. Desports is the only woman I can trust, so if you want something more concrete, you won't have to go after her first. ”

He also spoke of the Chesion's stronghold.

“The thorns are in the north. I don't know the name of the city, but I remember it as a picturesque city next to a clear lake. ”

“Mr. Yerevant.”

“I know. ”

Dragoman, who announced the location of all his colleagues, gave a polite look.

“The material of the Seven Heroes. Wasn't that what you were looking for? ”

“That's enough. But I have one more question. ”

There was one thing Kim Sung-cheol had always wondered about. This is the relationship between the Seven Heroes and Eckhart.

Kim Sung-cheol said in a bold tone, pointing to the giant part of the giant head where he was standing.

“How did you get this beggar? ”

“Oh, you mean this? ”

Dragoman will never know.

The answer to this question is that your life may be determined.

Kim Sung-cheol, who has Eckhart's vision, is well acquainted with the Giants beyond the knowledge of the Seven Heroes. On the other hand, Child Hero doesn't even know how much Kim Sung-cheol knows about Eckhart, or even the name Eckhart.

Now Baton has fallen to Drago Bay.

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes stared at drago man's dry lips.

Drago opens his mouth in silence.

“The work of an alchemist named Eckhart. ”

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol didn't see any changes in his face.

But in his mind, he gave Dragoman a passing grade.

Dragoman continued:

“He was like the acolyte following us. But I worked hard to become a great alchemist. He claims to be a creationist, but this beggar is his masterpiece. Made it to solve the scourge of our time. Its full name is Bertelgia No. 1. The Giant next door is No. 2. By the way, Bertelkia is the name of her daughter who has the plague. ”

When she heard that, she trembled lightly in Kim Sung-cheol's pocket.

Kim Sung-cheol felt like he knew what Bertelkia was thinking.

‘Listening to my father's story to someone who knows him sounds different, even if they all know it. ’

Drago's story ends there.

“Well, that's what happened. Any more questions? ”

“What happened to Eckhart? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked.

The question made Dragoman look surprised.

“Do you know Eckhart? ”

“An alchemist of this magnitude would definitely be interested. ”

I didn't say I didn't know.

However, Dragoman's face was filled with a disdain and unpleasantness that cannot be hidden.

“I'm sorry, I don't like him. That's why I'm not interested. If you want to know about him, ask Vestiarena or Desport where he was chasing you. Zaatos is the one who knows him best, but he deserves it because you killed him. ”

Drago was the only one who came out of that position all the time.

He was showing that he hated Ekhardt that much.

Even a sturdy stick breaks when it comes to more strength than it can withstand.

Eckhart seems to be something only Drago can handle.

‘This must be the limit of information Drago Bay can provide. If what he says is true, it must be very useful information. But…’

My desire to use the um Brook was growing like a poisonous mushroom in my heart.

Kim Sung-cheol suppressed the intense impulse and turned sideways and said in a bold tone.

“I heard everything I wanted to hear. ”

The longer the story, the stronger the impulse.

Kim Sung-cheol insisted on sending only Drago, even if there was something he lacked to know that Bertelkia didn't want to use it.

A faint smile came to mind in Drago's mouth.

“May we never meet again. ”

“I agree."

“Oh, dear. ”

Only drago, who was about to leave, turned to Kim Sung-cheol as if he had remembered something.

“Do you know how to use that key? ”

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes reminded me of this.

‘Surprisingly good A/S. ’

He shakes his head.

“I don't know.”

“It's the key to the key. Kind of like an emergency key. The one with the blue lace is the first one, so this one. And the one with the green strap is for two. ”

“How do I use these? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked, reminiscing about when he entered the lion's dwelling place in the past.

At that time, there was no key.

“We'll know more when we get in here with the key. Perhaps if you carry it, the Stranger's Key will ask you a question. I trust that if I just remember the name Bertelgia, the ogre will be able to answer as well. ”

Dragoman jumps to the bottom of the mountain after saying so.

It was very agile and fast, as I announced.

Maybe he's deliberately showing off his speed to Kim Sung-cheol.

Dragoman, which cuts through the dark night sky like a swamp of water, soon disappeared completely from Kim Sung-cheol's sight.

“That guy. God damn it!”

As soon as Drago's Bay disappears, Bertelgia is furious, coming out of her pocket.

“A coward who sells his coworkers for a living! ”

“Hang in there, Bertelkia. ”

“Oh! This sucks! What are you doing with the weapon of doom? We should use it on him. ”

“ ……. ”

I think we got off on the wrong foot.

I've been holding back the use of the weapon of disaster for Bertelgia, but she really wants to use it.

‘This guy confuses me because he's a woman. ’

After shaking his head and scattering the bitter memories, Kim Sung-cheol hurriedly entered the head of the living creature.

The interior of the cockpit was not much different from what you saw in Panchuria.

“Hm. I thought you said he was number three? ”

Bertelkia opens her mouth as if she were walking around the cockpit like a house.

Kim Sung-cheol nodded his head and entered the center of the cockpit.

‘Exactly. There it is. ’

On the altar in the center of the cockpit, a book resembling Bertelgia was erected, wrapped in a mysterious light.

This is the key to moving the giant.

Kim Sung-cheol reached out to the book like before.

A warning immediately blocked his sight.

[An unauthorized person cannot draw the key to knowledge.]

[List of Authorized Persons is provided below.]

[Seven Heroes, and Eckhart]

Kim Sung-cheol took out the key from Drago Bay.

The guy with the green strings.

“You said it was blue! ”

Vertelgia immediately nagged like her mother-in-law.

Kim Sung-cheol replaced the key with a blue rope and took it to the book on the altar.

Then, surprisingly, another message covered Kim Sung-cheol's eyes.

[Confirm Master Key]

[I have a question to make sure you are the rightful owner of the Master Key.]

[What is the name of this gas?]

It was as if the book itself was speaking.

Kim Sung-cheol opened his mouth to look at the book on the altar.

“Bertelkia.”

“Yes? Why are you calling me? ”

[Correct answer.]

[From now on, the Great Catastrophe Duel Weapon Bertelgia 1 follows your orders.]

“Why are you calling me? ”

“It's nothing. ”

The Giant's maneuver has stopped.

Kim Sung-cheol found that the settlers had completely stopped their activities in a shaky vibration.

“Huh?"

Late, Bertelgia realizes that later.

“Was the key given to you by that wretched Dragu Man or the Dragu Line? ”

“Apparently so. ”

The beggar stops working and now obeys Kim Sung-cheol's order.

It's a pretty bland ending.

I think I used to do alchemy here and dragons like this one.

Kim Sung-cheol gazed back at the book on the altar.

Size, material, and formal leather. It looks exactly like Bertelgia.

‘What a coincidence. Or is that what all those books of that age are made of? ’

Even though there was a creature that resembled Bertelgia in the 3rd year, it was considered a coincidence, but the second time I saw the same creature, I naturally had a question.

“What are you looking so serious about? Let's take control of 2nd too! ”

Bertelkiah approaches Kim Sung-cheol, riding on his shoulders and speaking in a calm voice.

“Wait a minute.”

You don't have to go to number two right away.

How far will the settlers have to go? There's nothing left but a Golem Crab Smash nearby, so there's no problem if you let it go.

The important thing is that there is something strange about it.

Kim Sung-cheol stretched out his hand toward the book on the altar, remembering his old memories.

[Unlocking the key to knowledge will stop all the Giant's activities and cannot be recovered.]

[Do you still want to do this?]

“Well...”

Kim Sung-cheol paused to pull out the book for a while.

It's because it's different from the previous question.

What Sung-cheol Kim wants is Eckhart's test quest.

It must be in this place.

The legacy of Eckhart.

The fulfillment of that quest is essential in order to gain the Creationist class and to learn about Eckhart, who is becoming more important over time.

‘Once again, this one looks like Bertelgia. Maybe it'll make sense. ’

Kim Sung-cheol quietly stared at the book on the altar with the feeling of throwing once.

“I am an alchemist. ”

There were no other reactions within the altar.

It was time to put a dent in Sung-cheol Kim's mouth.

A new message appeared before his eyes, clouding his vision.

[Are you an alchemist?]

The question I wanted finally came out.

Then another question came up.

[What do you want?]

“The Creator.”

Kim Sung-cheol answered briefly.

[Do you want to take the test?]

I felt Kim Sung-cheol in the subject.

‘This guy. Is it communicating? ’

Kim Sung-cheol nodded, looking at a book that resembles Bertelkia, who is silent in the conclusion.

Then the same situation happened before.

A luminescent ore lamp illuminated the entire control room, and hidden tables appeared and shaped in front of Kim Sung-cheol.

[Prove it.]

And different kinds of reagents and materials appeared.

[Eckhart's Final Question # 1]

[There should be an alchemical item that can be made from alchemical ingredients here. Create it and place it on the altar in front of you. Then you will get what you want.]

[Explicit. You can use any tool.]

Everything was done as I wished.

Kim Sung-cheol repeated what he had always said, looking back at Bertelkia.

“Bertelkia.”

Bertelkia sighs and speaks in a powerless tone.

“Okay, I'll pay for the food. I've never had a meal! ”

Bertelkia opened the bookshelf on her own to find a recipe close to the answer to Eckhart's problem.

Kim Sung-cheol waited for an answer, feeling his heart pounding for a long time.
