The Novel’s Villain

< 6. A and the King (2) >

“I will pluck out my eyes and tongues to display them in front of the castle so that I will never have such a destruction again! ”

“That's enough. That's not enough. Just get him out of here. ”

“How gracious of you! ”

Jinwoo saved the Snake Shield Guild Alliance. However, it was only a few moments later that surviving on Korean soil was difficult because of unreasonable pressure to use the penalty.

When Jin Woo asked for a general explanation, the General Manager had no doubt told him about JW Gates.

Whether Jin Woo knew it or not was not important to him. He thought it was only his duty to fulfill orders.

JW Gate is said to have the most vast land of its kind to date, and there are many monsters as powerful as it is. It was an unknown world where resources might be hidden.

The value could not be expressed by numbers.

Nevertheless, the development was quite slow for some reason. It wasn't just the JW gate.

“As you know, as with all gates, the materials on Earth will disintegrate in no time. It's hard to get help from modern goods, and there's food problems. ”

I listened to the general manager and understood.

In the original, it is said to eat combat food inside the gate. Why do we eat combat food in a place full of animals and plants?

Every animal in the gate is said to have an indecipherable poison. It was not only the JW gate but all the gates were the same. There was no poison in the water, so there was no water concern.

The clean water at the gate was a popular item that was sold at a very expensive price to the rich.

Anyway, we need to bring food from Earth, but no matter how well we preserve it, it will decompose over time.

Studies have shown that magic in the atmosphere works in particular, and researchers have developed combat food through their own research.

It was the original grain of powder.

I was able to extend the conservation period by about a week.

The problem was that it was very expensive and tasteless.

This technology was also owned by the frontline group and took quite a long time to build. Anyway, just like monopoly, it had to be expensive.

‘150,000 won per serving · · · · · · · · · · ·. ’

It was also the cheapest salt flavor package. It is said to be salted on a paper melted in water. If it tasted like meat or noodles, it was over ₩ 300,000.

It disappeared in less than a day when we brought regular Earth food. Whenever we went out on an expedition, powdered food was essential.

Of course, where Jinwoo stayed, Earth's food was still being provided. It was because I brought it right away and cooked it.

‘No one can dig up a gate or develop one. ’

Everything on Earth will disintegrate as soon as the gate comes in.

Even the most expensive devices with the latest technology couldn't last long and had to be used as disposables, so it cost a lot of money to develop the gate.

In the case of China, the government is pouring vast quantities and funds, but the limits have been dramatic.

Even the JW gate is still slow to develop because of this realistic but unrealistic reason.

However, it was a great thing that Lee Jin-woo had planned to build a city.

It was the part where Jinwoo didn't have to worry much.

The most important thing to pay attention to now was the greedy monarch.

“We'll do everything we can to keep you safe as you go! ”

The general manager bowed down and said so.

There was an order to enter the Hunting Ground, but the atmosphere was all backwards. Jinwoo was very comfortable with it, but I still wanted to reward him.

Notoriety is likely due to its effect on the fame stack.

Let's take a look at the convenience.

“The guild that has been pushed back in order should extend their stay about twice as long. Is it possible?"

“Just give the order! ”

JW Golden Hunting Ground.

Every guild in the world wanted to go there.

It was worth more than gold spilling out, and it was one of the reasons JW became called El Dorado.

There were a lot of guilds entering JW Gate because they were so popular, but there was a joke that there were more people than monsters. Of course, there was a lot of time to wait because it was full.

“Do you hear me?! ”

“Yes!”

“Master, clear all the way out! And let them praise your great mercy! ”

The senior judges step back, head down, and start running out the hall.

“Oooh!”

“Obey your orders! ”

The High Examiners roar like fanatics, shouting and running away. The inspectors who were waiting like statues followed them screaming.

With so many mercenaries coming to JW Gate, there were also many inspectors, who seemed to see things like movies and cartoons and heretical anagrams.

“ · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Having been at the gate for years, it was clear that the sense of reality had fallen off. I heard he swore an oath to live inside the gate for many security reasons. No one could get out without Jin Woo's order.

"Where did you get all those talents? ’

Senior inspectors and inspectors were not meant to be relationships. It was hand-picked by the general manager and solely by skill and loyalty. It didn't matter if he had a record, a personality shot, or a psychopath.

Inside JW Gate, it was immunity.

Once the general manager had received any training, they could not escape from Jinwoo.

I was hesitant because everyone praised themselves extremely. Yuna looks at Jinwoo and smiles slightly.

“Hehe, you are truly great every time. I've never seen anything like it, but it feels good. ”

“Don't make fun of me. I don't feel so good. ”

“You can hold out long enough. Haven't you done well so far? ”

“Yes, but · · · · · · · · ·. ”

I felt tired after doing nothing.

JW Gate was Lee Jin-woo's strength and foundation.

Lee Jin-woo's main loyalties, the core forces, were mostly within the JW gate. The moment the gate disappeared from the original, it made sense that the force was weakened.

Anyway, it was hardly enough that the general manager would hold a festival as a anniversary of his return.

* * *

Rachel was experiencing a new world. It was right to express that I was dreaming. Although it was a prestigious guild, her sister, the guild master, suddenly died and suffered a sudden fall.

I suspected there was a Snake Shield Guild Alliance behind it, but there was no evidence.

I had to cancel my quest to clear the Guild Master's space, so I received a huge penalty. The renewal period barely secured the remaining three years of gate admission, but it was only yesterday that the limit was reached.

All of the core members were scouts for the Snake Shield Guild Alliance, and now only the family members remain.

“Until yesterday! Khh!”

Rachel laughs, remembering the amount she put in the guild account. There was enough money in there to pay off the debt and manage the guild for a short time, or bid for a gate ticket.

I even wondered if it wasn't a dream. Even after I closed my eyes a few times, it was real!

“Rachel, you look happy. ”

“Is that a bad thing? Units! The commander's got a big mouth, too. ”

“It should be good, but · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Unlike Rachel, she had a discreet look on her face. The funding difficulties were resolved immediately, but the infinite was still deeply thought out.

It was only after I became able that I realized the fear of money.

A lot of money demanded a lot of sacrifice and responsibility. Nothing is free in the world.

Even more so in the world of talented people.

“You know, nothing in this world is free. Big money comes with big sacrifices. We have to weigh our lives and our money. That's what mercenaries do. ”

“Maybe it's too negative? Mercenary mortality has also dropped significantly these days, but sometimes mercenaries are safer. It's just an international competition. Only knights die. ”

“But they're still in the Hyundai Garden. And a reward for it. But we're literally dog dead. Sometimes even a corpse can't be recovered. Anyway, I think you're too positive. ”

“So far, so bad things have happened! You can't go back because you already have a contract. We'll figure out the complications later. ”

Mujin nods.

Rachel was right.

I couldn't go back until I had already signed the contract. The penalty was not enough to cover the guild member's head as well as his own.

Obviously, "Risk your life. You cannot go back to the way things were. I was saying. '

‘Yes, I understand it somehow, but · · · · · · · ·. ’

Mujin glances at the sword erected next to him. This wasn't something you could get just because you had money. Mujin looks back at the guild members. They were all petting the equipment.

I handled it very carefully in case of any scratches.

"What the hell does that even mean? ’

My head aches like crazy.

Are you driving the guild members who think they are brothers?

It was hard to see that it was simply the entertainment of money.

“Khh, Jin-woo, I knew it. ”

“Wow, did you see those snakes' faces? Huh, looks like you're going to pee a lot. ”

“Ahhh! This kind of food inside the gate! Look at Jin-woo's class. ”

The two guild members have already lost their minds to Lee Jin-woo. It was so futile compared to the hardships they went through to win their hearts.

Both guilds were now waiting comfortably in front of the Golden Castle, the symbol of the JW Gate.

The men dressed in Maid filled their glasses with fine wine.

Rachel's been empty for four drinks, and all she's been doing is staring. She even hums.

Mujin only shakes his head.

‘Those maids are unusual, too. ’

Mujin looked at Maid and thought so. She looked like a beautiful maid, but she was at least a D + grade and above. I couldn't hear a sound when I moved my feet. Even the shadows were blurry, presumably from the assassination line.

Maid corridor also appeared to be of high quality material. You should be able to defend the blade without any magical power.

Mujin was never able to relax. I was not optimistic enough to drink sobriety among skilled people.

“Captain, if you're not going to drink that, I will! ”

“Hmm? I didn't say I didn't drink. ”

“It's already breaking down! Too bad.”

“Hmm · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Mujin eventually handed the Cup over to Rachel. He was like that, and I felt amazed at the way he calmed down when he went into work. Otherwise you won't survive on this floor.

Rachel was a reliable mercenary despite her young age. Mujin thought that someone as talented as Rachel was more versatile than those who were powerless.

“I'm impressed. There's no such thing as a hospice. I can't believe you came into JW with a high pass! It's hard to get in here once in a lifetime. ”

“Even if you had a ticket, you'd still be out of the trial. ”

“Right? The judges are famous for their bullshit. There were all these mercenaries who rebelled against judicial dismissal. They're still eating meat. ”

“That's a scary story. ”

“By the way! Those judges are really good for us, aren't they? You risk your life here or anywhere else. So let's enjoy it now. ”

Rachel grins.

Mujin sighed a little. It's been a long time since I've seen members of my guild smile and brawl.

‘Maybe you thought too negatively, like Rachel said.' ’

It was when Mujin thought so.

You hear a buzzing sound moving from afar. All the other guilds headed out were returning.

Mujin got up and approached you, wondering what was going on. Neither was Rachel, even though she didn't leave the glass in her hand.

Mujin approaches the one coming in from the outside. A warrior with a guild mark ranked 10th in the Domestic Mercenary ranking.

He had no idea what he looked like.

Rachel says no first.

“Excuse me. What's going on? ”

“Hmm? That was originally our guild entry order. Senior inspectors came and canceled them all. They say it's indefinite. ”

“Yes?”

Rachel's eyes are wide open. All positions to the hunting grounds have become smoke indefinitely.

“I don't have any complaints about guaranteeing twice the duration of my existing stay, so I guess I'm going to have a meeting with the guild's chief executives. Oh, so many people came out today and it was good. · · · · · You know · This week is going to be a big regen, right? ”

“That's twice as much profit. ”

“You take care, too. There's a lot of judges around these days. ”

Rachel says he nods.

The ministry meeting was clear on how to use perhaps twice the length of stay. I have a complaint, but overall I understand it, and it was a welcome atmosphere.

Lots of crowds come out and go where the tents are. It was a large residential facility built by guilds. It was large enough to accommodate thousands of people.

Either gate was always crowded with hunting grounds, but I couldn't find a mercenary's shadow right now.

All of JW's large plazas were empty.

The inspectors dressed in white, like priests, were running at an incredible speed, sweating red. The rate at which the constellation was drawn.

“Clear the square! ”

“Hurry up and move! ”

“Who's walking? Can't you run?”

The JW Gate inspectors, famous for their laziness, ran around like they saw a Private.

The same was true of the senior judges.

Mujin and Rachel stare at it dazed.

“What's going on? ”

“Well, that's definitely not normal. ”

“Can we stay here? ”

“I think so. ”

There's only indefinitely and Rachel's guild left. Maid calmly approaches Mujin and Rachel.

Unlike other maids, she had a white mask. You appear to be in the same position as the senior judges.

Mujin faintly retreated, flawed, and Rachel was stunned as well. I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't revealed myself.

“We have to move soon, so they tell us to get ready. ”

Maid lowers her head politely and disappears. You stand in line with the senior judges, Maid and I.

The General Manager approaches Mujin and Rachel.

“Hmm, I can't believe it. You're not even a knight, and you're picking up this kind of crap. You may have great plans that I don't understand, but · · · · · · ·. ”

The general ruler, who said so, looked at Rachel with cold eyes.

Both of them were trembling with the senses of their whole bodies freezing.

‘· · · · · · · Knight Slayer. ’

At the entrance, he was the general manager who had not even given the mercenaries a look. After receiving his eyes, I realized that all the rumors about him were true.

I didn't know the details, but there were rumors of an informal encounter with several articles, literally slaughtering them. One of the Japanese knights retired as a lone soldier, and the theory was that the general manager had made it so.

I had to avoid even the most powerful eyes. Rachel's complexion turned blue.

“Remember who you dare take with you. ”

He nods, barely. Rachel nods and swallows. I didn't know their faces would open.

The general manager slightly gritted his eyebrows to see if he disliked that expression.

“The Lord is coming soon. Smile, or I'll rip your mouth off. ”

Mujin and Rachel barely raise their mouths. I tried to smile with a stiff expression, and the ball fluttered.

The two couldn't express their faces until Jinwoo came out.

It took me longer to prepare than I thought.

It took me a while to get dressed, but I felt more concerned about it than I did outside the gate.

‘Not bad. ’

It was a D + rank outfit.

Named after the Black Emperor set, it was also extremely strong in defense and durability, but had considerable originality and charm stats. This is a masterpiece made with a sweat braid made of rare materials.

Jin Woo looked around the library for a moment. The gate is full of ancient books. Naturally, there were many things that had not yet been interpreted because there was no language on earth.

Although presidential universities are the best in the field of gate character interpretation, they will not be as good as Jinwoo.

With Maan in charge of information.

‘Mmm · · · · · · · · · ·. ’

It was a journal written by those who didn't know who it was, or a dirty book. Some cursed books, such as books with tongues turned to stone, books with mushrooms growing on their skin, and books with gender reversal.

If the protagonist wanted to make money, he would have made a lot of money, even if he had an emotional company. This was why safe technical books, once interpreted, had tremendous value. It was a famous anecdote that one of the famous mercenaries couldn't touch the Book of the Damned well and then grew old.

“Oh, that's nice. ”

[C] Monster Cooking Encyclopedia

A book written by Monster Cooking.

An unusual energy has fallen asleep.

It was a brief description.

C rank was the highest rank not seen on Earth.

It's not a book cursed, so I decided to try it. It was just too bad to rot.

I learned quickly from Maan of Information. It has been newly interpreted and learned based on the skills learned.

[C +] Recipe of Enchantment

“The cooking process will be beautiful and the results will be fascinating. ”

A cooking technique that creates beautiful, enchanting dishes.

Contains thousands of recipes left by the Fantasy Tribe.

This isn't just a recipe, it's almost an alchemical realm. You can extract the best recipe with any ingredient. Recipes made with the recipe of Enchantment have a special effect.

* Increased Taste (Enchanting): 5x more appetite while cooking.

* Create recipes: Create cooking recipes. Cooking based on recipes has a special effect. Stolen recipes do not work.

Turned into a pretty fun skill Kim Chi Soup was only boiled since it was always cooked. I thought it was a pretty practical skill. Sometimes I want to cook.

Yuna came into the study.

“We're ready. I stopped the general manager from making a fuss. ”

“Well done. I like people, but they're a little rowdy. ”

“It's a simple transfer, but we couldn't stop it. Count your loyalty. ”

I couldn't stop it. If he did, the General Manager might consider himself unfit to punish himself. He was long enough to stay.

Outside, senior inspectors and maids scatter petals. The General Manager claps his hands with a big smile, and the mercenaries clap their hands as well.

Everyone was smiling awkwardly.

What is this madness?

Let's get out of here.

I took a quick walk and finally headed to the hunting ground. I could barely take away the burden of the general manager's eyes.

‘From low risk first · · · · · ·. ’

Currently, it was a low-risk place, but it was a place where valuable things came out.

It was the most prolific JW Gate hunting ground to date. It was so popular that it was more crowded than monsters, but I didn't feel like it was popular right now.

"Control of the hunting grounds in real life." ’

Control the Hunting Ground!

There was something difficult going on in the game.
