Mangem's Paladin

The potion was expensive. It wasn't the only thing I didn't like.

“Isn't it a narcotic awakening agent for pain relief? Like cocaine or mesamphetamine? ”

Guy answered Gunuk's question.

“It's similar, but it's different. It's different from the ingredients and much better quality. ”

“What is it, then? ”

It's called "Buff.“ The Holy Knight LV.100 spells the Holy Emperor. It has the same efficacy. It helps relieve the pain, but it still makes it easier to move. ”

“That spell, it's withdrawn, isn't it? ”

“Leveling up will eliminate withdrawal symptoms, right? with the after-effects of resurrection. ”

Kim Jong-hmm seemed like a good enough item to hear, but it wasn't enough for Gunwook.

“Thank you for introducing me to the good stuff, and I want to learn more and buy it or not. ”

A man persuaded by a stubborn refusal.

“Do you not like the price? Then I'll make it cheaper."

“That's not it. Anyway, we don't live now, so we'll see you later. ”

Kim Jong-hmm asked when he got back in the car because he was going to die.

“Why don't you buy it? ”

“It's Gigi, Gigi. How can you believe that on the street? ”

“What if something like an ingredient chart is presented? You can buy tons then, right? ”

Gunwook was embarrassed to answer that question. Moreover, I didn't want to buy that drug, whether it was addictive or not. If concerns about the after-effects of the resurrection disappear, you will die more often. And even without sequelae, dying is painful.

However, it was impossible to ask for more pain instead of less death.

After all, Gunwook replied.

“Yes.”

Since then, four of them have been on the road.

Many Ulsan residents, as well as men, have just blocked the road and attempted to sell goods and act as patrons. These are high-level players, so I thought they'd have a lot of money.

The price they offered was ridiculously expensive, but Gunwook asked after a few of them.

“Did anyone give you a quest? ”

The man who said he was going to sell the tablets shouted.

“Quests? Pay Gold to reward this item! ”

“It's not about that. It's about experiencing. ”

Someone replied to that.

“I don't have it anymore. After the original NPCs disappeared and replaced the new residents with NPCs, all of those quests disappeared. ”

“Oh, then."

“Sell EXP Potions instead. ”

At the end of the day, Gunwook asked in anticipation.

“Where can I go and live? ”

“I can't buy what I want. It can be produced under the authority of the Lord. What, the head of Necropolis is offering Pluto gold to buy souls that are the source of his superhuman abilities and increase his EXP? ”

“It's set. Anyway, you can go to the lord and live, right? ”

“Yes, well. ”

I had an income just knowing that. And other people, too, have been able to get that information.

“No, fuck, why did you get paid and fall in love with what was originally free? Why did you give the NPC lord the right to produce EXP potions? ”

“So you're not gonna buy his potion? ”

“You should buy it.” Like everyone else grumbled, but it wasn't bad enough. The granting of such authority to the newly elected members of the NPC meant that there was so much they could do that they could live as slaves out of prison.

Maybe Pluto showed mercy in his own way.

That evening, the group asked the guard to formally ask the lord to buy the potion. After a long time, I ate at the table, washed properly and went to bed.

Nothing else has changed.

The next morning they all went down the stairs. As a result, the monsters fought in the darkness they were waiting for, gained EXP, and leveled up.

* * * * * *

Yufi Ter: That was your decision, wasn't it? Releasing the Prisoners to the City (17: 22)

DM Pluto: Well, yeah.

Yufi ‑ Ter: Why did you do that? It had nothing to do with whether the high-level city looked good or bad because it was empty. Don't you know that VIP sees only the ground anyway? (17: 23)

DM Pluto: I know. I didn't have to let you go. But no one pays for it, but they keep it locked up, right? (17: 23)

Yufi ‑ Ter: You let him go because you felt sorry for him? The VIP allowed it? (17: 24)

DM Pluto: Yes (17: 24)

Eufi ‑ Ter: It didn't have to be more like that to get you to use electricity there. I'm surprised you even let me do that. Maybe the VIP is more generous to the gods than I thought (17: 24).

DM Pluto: What do you mean?

Yufi ‑ Ter: The VIP seems to be more compassionate than you think when you take a vacation without killing Apollo. (17: 25)

DM Pluto: So they really want to hit rubber? (17: 25)

Yufi Ter: Yes.

DM Pluto: So now you play Apollo? (17: 26)

Yufi Ter: Uh. It's not a hard work.I 'm used to single-handedness. I was a Pluto until last time, and I passed it on to you. In the first place, being an Apollo is not a burden (17: 26).

Eufi ‑ Ter: I don't know what to expect in a month (17: 27)

DM Pluto: Are you saying that with Apollo's prophetic power? Do you see the future first-hand with the ability to foresee and show your faith to crusaders and combat angels?

Eufi ‑ Ter: Actually, I'm not looking at the real future, it's just a superpower version of deductive reasoning... Anyway, if you used Apollo's power, yes. I think I'll be out soon (17: 27)

* * * * * *

After returning from the hunt, LV.100 Guard General Kim Jung-gi was waiting at the exit of the stairs.

“You left early and came back late? ”

Kim Seon-woo gave an example, even though his opponent was at a lower level than he thought, because the size of the guard seemed to be more difficult.

“You have to get a little more experience. ”

“I wasn't so mean when I leveled. Great job. Anyway, the Count wants to see you. ”

“Because of the potion purchase request? ”

“Yes, I just want you to go. ”

Kim Seon-woo was represented at the ceremony.

Earl Ulsan was in a 200m high skyscraper that would reach the ceiling of the underground cavity. The lord said it was a private residence.

At the top, the lord of Ulsan was waiting for two men in robes.

[Lv.150 npc naphtha]

Kim Seon-woo was surprised at the relatively young face of Nahyeon-tae. Even though it was LV.150, it seemed only forty.

"Did you say the time in the dungeon was different? ’

While Kim Sun-woo blinked, Na-hyun-tae asked me to shake hands first.

“Ulsan Baek.”

“Ah, Kim Sun-woo. ”

“Do you have a title? ”

“Yes, it was a knight until a while ago. ”

“No, I think you have a role. Cheongla-back.How long have you been lord? I don't even know how to see my opponent. ”

Kim Seon-woo panicked and fell asleep.

“I didn't mean to be rude by lying."

“Well, I can see why it's crunchy. The captain of the guard told Duke Incheon he had something he wanted, so he hid it. I'm going to come out a lot, but I don't want to cause any trouble. Isn't that right?”

“Yes, that's right. ”

“I like it. ”

“Yes?”

“I like being careful. Yeah, that's why outsiders are so modest. Anyway, you want to buy an EXP Potion? ”

“Yes.”

“I'll sell it.”

“Thank you! How much?” “EXP +1%, 10 million gold per potion, how about it? ”

Kim Seon-woo replied cautiously.

“That's expensive. I need to think about it. ”

“What about EXP Gain Potion? This is an increase of 10% in an hour of 20 million. ”

Kim Seon-woo thought about whether he could continue to drink the potion while hunting. It will be difficult. It is too expensive to use in the long run.

But even to say no, when I just said no, the look on my face seemed too unpleasant.

In the end, Kim Seon-woo said reluctantly.

“First of all, can you buy twenty? ”

“I won't.”

In the end, Kim Seon-woo left the room with twenty potions in her inventory.

After Kim Seon-woo disappeared, Kim Jung-gi asked Na-hyun-tae.

“Isn't that too much? It was originally very blurry at the potion price. ”

Nahyuntae replied with a slight smile.

“We have to rip off the money like bad guys. If high levels are going to come in the future, it would be better to sell them a little cheaper, but I don't think there will be more players than them. So, what's the big deal? I have no choice but to exploit them. ”

“If you're going to exploit it, why not get involved in dungeon passage? If you want to turn down the stairs and go down, you have to pay the toll. ”

At the end of Kim Jung-gi's speech, Na-hyun-tae filled her tongue.

“This is a thoughtless fellow, aren't they going to come here? In addition, GMs must be at ease if they are to be open to NPC topics and interfere with player hunting. ”

“Oh, I see what you're saying. ”

As Kim Jung-gi's face darkened, Na-hyeon also frowned.

I feel pessimistic now.

When I was on the ground, it was much more fun to act as a player. Even though I am now the lord of this beautiful Ulsan.

Lee Hyun-tae, who frowned for a while, only reported the money that had just entered his inventory, so he could laugh.

It was a long time ago, and in spite of the fact that I was Count Ulsan, I made very little money.

NPCs can't get gold and items from hunting. It soon meant that almost all residents had no gold income as lord of the NPC, Ulsan.

It was a real pity for me. Nahyuntae wanted gold and freedom to the ground.

And Pluto told the NPCs that if they really want to be free, they have to pay the ransom. The ransom should be paid for itself. The ransom was proportional to the level.

Nahyuntae thought, touching the gold taken from the inventory.

‘If I can collect eight billion, my ransom will be 150 billion gold. ’

* * * * * * *

Everyone was delighted to hear that you received the EXP Gain Potion, but frowned at the price.

“No, something like this."

After all, what I do hasn't changed. They all fell asleep early, and the next day they went into the darkness underground to hunt. Movement to level up as quickly as possible.

It was a month ago, and I didn't like the situation as a deferred prison. You've been in a civilized city all this time, and you're not resting? I thought people would be born soon, but it's still hard.

At the end of the hunt, one day he returned to Ulsan, Lee Yeongok left the house alone, exhausted.

All sorts of shops were open under neon sign. One of those neon signs caught the eye of Lee Yeon-ok.

Ulsan game.

After going in, it was a game shop that was not on the ground. I sold all kinds of gaming machines and softwares, some of which I was familiar with.

“Nintendo?”

The store owner found out that Lee Yeon-ok was a player through the information window above his head. Then there will be a lot of money. I tried to change without hesitation.

“120 million gold. You know, it's a small volume. It's expensive, too."

“Shut up and give it to me! ”

The salesman, who thought he was being robbed at the moment, thought he should call security, but the report of Tuck dropping a gold bar in front of him kept his mouth shut.

Lee Yeon-ok bought not only the Gear game machine but also the software and went back to his room.

And the next day, he didn't want to come out of his room.

* * * * * * *

“Those bastards are full again. All you have to do is eat and hunt and sleep. You've already posted four reps in a month. If you leave me like this, I won't spend all my entertainment in the city and I'll just pay for my stay and go back to the ground.” I asked Kim Jung-gi what he said.

“So what would you do? ”

“What are we gonna do? We're gonna have to rip it off more actively. ”

* * * * * * *

When they all woke up in the morning, Lee Yeon-ok declared at the gathering place where everyone had gathered to go hunting.

“I'm not going hunting. ”

People looked at him and saw that his eyes were red. I don't know what I did, but it wasn't hard to predict what I would have spent the night doing.

So I was tired, but I couldn't see the situation. Gunwook said.

“You're the lowest level of us. Don't you know that if there's a level gap like this, you won't get any more EXP, so you won't be able to level up forever? ”

“You don't have to. ”

“What?”

“You don't have to. I'm just gonna retire from here. ”

If someone else had said that, everyone would have taken it seriously, and if Emperor Gunwook had made such a declaration, everyone would have hung on to it, but not in the case of Lee Yeon-ok.

The barracks murmured.

“Can't you do that? Priest is enough anyway. ”

At that point, Lee Yeon-ok felt betrayed. While I didn't want to go hunting, I wanted them to make up their minds.

And Lee Tae-dong replied with a firm face.

“If Yeon-seok does not participate in levelling, you are in breach of your contract with Ham Gyeong-baek. Lee Yeon Ok must participate in leveling. ”

It was a valid argument, so Kim Seon-woo also requested it reasonably.

“Then your elder will persuade you. Aren't you a colleague of the elder? ”

And Lee Tae-dong expressed an oval color.

“What way do I go?"

After all, it was that supporter Corre who went into persuasion.

Coré later told me what his partner had declared. As soon as he figures out the situation, Kore blushes, grasping Lee Yeon-ok's collar and dragging him to the room. Then he shouted in the room.

“What are you doing after you're 58, you lunatic! ”

After a while, after the sound of silang, something snapped and a short scream sounded. It was clear that Corre was physically convincing his partner.

Everyone who heard it laughed outside, but Gunwook was frightened.

Gunwook immediately entered the room and shouted.

“Stop, stop! ”

As expected, Core is beating down the fallen Lee Yeon-ok. After a few seconds, the kicking stopped.

Kore looked at Gunwook and asked with a loud voice.

“Gunwook, you were with this son of a bitch a long time ago. How the hell could you stand this son of a bitch? That's amazing. ”

“I don't understand how hard it is, but you can't just lose. ”

“We have to lose. Do you know why this son of a bitch said he wouldn't hunt? That's exactly what I said I'd play! ”

I don't know what you're talking about, but Gunwook caused a deferred hell once he was down.

Well, Lee Yeon-ok was holding something in his arms, which was a game machine.

From the looks of things, Kore tried to destroy it, and Lee Yeon-ok would try to protect it with his body. Then he would have started to get it in earnest.

Then Gunwook understood why Kore was beaten. In this situation, anyone can burst into tears.

But I couldn't let it go. Gunwook sent Lee Yeon-ok to his room and told Kore that he was still angry.

“Anger later, but no violence. ”

“You son of a bitch is a loser. Fix it! ”

“My aunt, so did my father. Anger control disorder will be" good at controlling anger "if you tap. So I fixed my temper and beat him to death when I was a kid. ”

“You still haven't beaten me enough to see this mess? ”

“No, I beat him too much. So this is the problem. Already added to the affection deficit and the personality deficit due to abuse of mental dysfunction due to brain defects. So defeating Lee Yeon-ok is just an outrage, and it only makes things worse here. ”

“If so, there must be a problem. Look, you're being toxic to Gunwook, right?” “But I'll try to convince you. But if you can't do it, you have to step up and do it. ”

After Kore left, Lee Yeon-ok returned to his room shortly after.

Gunwook asked Lee Yeon-ok who held the game machine.

“What game did you play? ”

Lee Yeon-ok replied at the end.

“The labyrinth of World X. ”

“Is this a game you can play with someone else? Do you want me to buy you a game console and join you? ”

“It's not like that. ”

Gunwook opened the game manual in a soft case and saw what the game was. It wasn't a game we could play together.

Wizard based RPG, a game in which five colleagues dug through the floor with labyrinths. All five of his colleagues manipulated the player alone.

Looking through the manual, Gunwook said in an energetic voice.

“I'm sorry.”

I was surprised that Gunwook didn't know how to hear an apology from Lee Yeon-ok.

“Oh, yeah. Are you sure you're thinking about retiring anyway? ”

“No.”

“Then."

“I'll take a break and go hunting again. ”

Gear seemed to want to rest a few days. Moreover, Kim Seon-woo, who had a stiff face, answered with a slight expression.

“At least I'm glad I'm out hunting again. I had to do it. It was too tight. Then let's take a couple of days off, all of you. ”

It was probably a decision to care about his cousin, Emperor Gunwook, rather than Lee Yeon-ok. Similarly, other personnel were not opposed to that decision. Despite the crisis in my home country, I was only complaining externally, rejoicing at the situation that made me inevitable.

I decided to take a break, so everyone stayed at home or went out to the city.

Meanwhile, the rest of Gunwook overlooked the window to see the daytime views.

In the old world, those lights that were symbols of overtime and the high seas could not look so beautiful. I don't know if Lee Yeon-ok's decision to retire here was genuine or not, but I thought I could understand the mind a little.
