Appearing on the scene for the first time in a long time, there was a brief disturbance among the players who participated as laborers.
"Why did Alsia suddenly show up?”
"Stay on your toes when you're curious about it! Alsia's presence means something's happening here!"
"Wow! I've never seen Alsia before! Do you want me to take a picture with you?”
Undaunted by the hot interest, Jae-ho headed for Parrow and the place in question.
"Mr. Alsia? What brings you here?"
Gianth, who was reviewing the construction plan nearby, welcomed Jae-ho.
"I've heard from you. A mysterious cave has been found."
"Ah... ha ha... ...". You seem very busy these days, so I tried not to bother you, but I guess you've just lost your tongue."
Giant certainly appealed that he wasn't trying to hide it on purpose.
"I know. We left the field entirely up to Mr. Giant anyway."
If I didn't know, I would have just gone by without knowing.
But now that I know, I'm always short of money, and I had to look at it for the sake of the painter Elisia.
The land of the ancient treasure kingdom buried under the sand, where the jackpot might explode.
"I'd like to take a look inside. Are you okay?"
"Of course. I'll show you around. This way."
Jae Ho, who came down along Gianth to the bottom of the canal.
Then I stood in front of the temporarily blocked hole.
"It's beyond this. It's a solid rock under the sand layer, so I'm not worried about collapsing, but I'm concerned about the joint that connects here. If water enters the area, there is a risk of erosion, weakening the entire ground in the area."
"Did you see anything special inside? A city or something."
"What? The city?"
Giant quickly grasped the intentions of Jae-ho's question.
He also knew about the origin of the Copay Kingdom and the Golden Garden.
"No. This place was just connected to a blocked cavity. The space itself was quite large, but there was no sign of ancient civilization. Of course there was no hidden dungeon.”
Jae-ho was a little upset by the unfortunate story.
Wooddeuk
But you never know.
The board was torn off and walked in, followed by Tina, Farrow and Gianth.
"It's a little dark. Farrow, lend me the guy."
A live lantern chopper.
The flames flowing from his body drove the darkness away from the very front.
"Hmm... something feels weird.”
Farrow said with a slight frown.
"What about it?"
"...No, I may be mistaken."
"Hey! Don't leave any strange words behind."
It was not easy for the devil, Farrow, to say such a thing.
"It's actually hard to say. Feeling like...….”
But what came out of Farrow's mouth was the sound of steam leaking.
Simply put, I'm just anxious.
"Oh, then why would you make me feel uncomfortable by talking like that?”
"No... I was just talking to myself, but didn't you hear that?"
Farrow protested furiously, even falsely.
"Hmmm, I don't think it's very artificial...….”
With a false cough, Jae-ho talked to Gianth again.
"That's right. Research has concluded that it is a natural cave."
Going deeper inside, the width and height grew higher and higher, and soon a large cavity appeared.
As expected, it was a cave with a natural feeling.
"Dwerds say it's not worth the development because they don't find any minerals at all. If you look further inside, you can shock the surrounding ground or the construction site, so you can't use explosives."
Gianth continued to explain the cave.
"So the most powerful option we have now is to fill this place completely with dirt. We don't know how many places we'll find in the future, and we can't bypass the canal every time."
Jae-ho felt the best way to do as Gianth said.
The construction plan has already been set up as an optimization route, but it was a burden as the cost increased enormously when twisted.
I was expecting a jackpot.….’
But Jae-ho didn't turn right away and kept looking around.
Not because he didn't believe Gianth or Dwerf, but because he thought he might luckily find something hidden under his title.
[Secret hairdresser]
[We can find something hidden.]
a title that goes so well with the situation of expecting a fortune
In fact, I've rarely found the right treasure with this, but...….
However, a little expectation eventually fell apart.
"There's really nothing."
It was a completely empty space.
I don't understand that there's such a big joint.
"Bam, let's go back."
In the end, Jae-ho gave up his regret and turned around.
"Huh?"
But Farrow was strange.
His face was so stiff that he had no movement, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Ma, no way...….”
"What?"
He was nervous when he came in, but now he seems to be trying to drive a wedge.
"Well, I wondered what this anxious feeling was... I think I know for sure now. This is the reverberation of the Great Devil!!”
Farrow faltered and backed away.
"The reverberation of the Great Devil?"
If you say so, Jae-ho also had one thing on his mind.
Calito, the one who ruined Coffey!
This whole desert was the place where his curse affected, so Farrow might feel that way.
"Isn't it like a mana that's been stuck underground for a long time?"
But I soon realized that it was a comfortable idea.
Suaaaa
A strange phenomenon that suddenly began to occur around.
Dark red energy rose from all sides and swirled slowly into the middle.
Curr
The sticky energy intertwined with low thunder soon produced a huge pedestal.
And a giant who slowly sank down there.
[The Duke of Calito, the great master of greed, made a secret appearance in the world through an ancient altar.]
white porcelain-like shiny skin
The glitter of the jewels on the earrings long enough to reach the floor made them look whiter.
He had all kinds of ornaments on his arms and hands, not to mention the huge, colorful crown on his head.
Greed from all over the body and soul!
But Jae-ho had no time to pay attention to such visual intensity.
What do we do with this?’
When Farrow felt uncomfortable, he felt uneasy.
Furthermore, the sudden encounter with Calito was not even included in the anxiety.
'Damn it! It was a nasty mess when I fought with Feyra!'
But there was something Jae-ho was overlooking.
Whoo-hoo! Nice to meet you! Spirit makeup!
Jae-ho did not admit it at all, but his level of favoritism has been beyond imagination.
As if he had met a friend of his hometown, Calito greeted him warmly.
"...nice to meet you."
Jae-ho answered cautiously, but the response was unexpected again.
What's wrong with this? We're friends! Don't be so hard.
In fact, he seemed to think of Jae-ho as a friend.
'If you're going to do that, get rid of all those fancy decorations and dreary effects, and reduce your size a little and then talk!'
"...yes."
But if the Great Devils tell you to do it, then.
Jae-ho answered calmly, and Gianth and Farrow, who were watching from behind, were startled.
Do you really want me to do it?’
"Ah... that rudeness to the Lord Calito...…!’
But Calito smiled gladly, as if satisfied with Jae-ho's answer.
Whoo-hoo, don't be nervous. There's nothing good about making a fuss in a place like this anyway. I don't want to get the attention of the bad guys up there.
"Oh... yes... ....”
Listening to his words, I could see that Calito had a very different style from Paira.
If Pira is united with pride and dignity, Kalito feels like a talkative man in the neighborhood.
Ha...... I haven't seen you here in a long time. I didn't know this place would still be here. Of course it's a mess. Oh, of course, it's amazing that you stepped in here. Of course, I can confidently say that I knew I'd come here someday!
a talkative calito
"So why did you suddenly show up here?"
Huh? This isn't what I showed up, it's what you called it. The ancient altar and the magic of the main seat, which you have painted all over your body, caused resonance.
"Ah......."
It could have been.
Jae-ho had the crown of Brezal, and the hourglass that he borrowed from Calito himself.
You have shown a lot of impressive performances. The stupid fat man took all my strength and went to play with the money.
"Fatman?"
Brezal. Brezal!
"Oh... you were fat?”
The slimmest person you've ever seen, it's definitely Bresal.
'Oh, it wasn't a human being, it was a skull.’
Whatever Jae-ho thought, Calito continued his story.
Whoosh. So I thought. You could do more exciting things with me.
A disturbing story began to emerge.
In the first place, there was little chance that the values or pleasures the devil sought would match itself.
Therefore, proposing to do something together was the worst development for Jae-ho.
'There's already a lot of troublesome quests!'
The Waypoint project with the Tower Alliance, the Grand Canal, Kino's plan to establish the Black Tower, and the Annabolic God, who warned of the continent's disaster...….
"Huck?!!"
The moment he recalled Anabolic's warning, Jae-ho suddenly realized.
The danger of the continent warned by the Anabolic God, and Francher, the guardian of the Rassel Kingdom.
'You didn't mean this, did you? Please don't!’
Imagining a terrible development he didn't want, Jae-ho opened his mouth wide.
I hope that... Do you understand?
"...uh? What?
Jae-ho, who didn't hear what Calito said because he was drawing a shocking future for a while.
However, when Jae-ho asked again, Calito's face quickly hardened.
I hate to repeat what I said. Even if you're a friend, you'd better be careful not to make such a joke.
“…….”
What makes you think this is a relationship?
"What did you say?”
Jae-ho asked the others behind him.
"That's..."
a helpless fellow
There we go. Today is also the first monumental day we faced in person, so I'll tell you again in particular thing.
Thankfully, Calito showed great kindness for his friend.
[*Quest*]
Calito, the great master of greed, is an endless greed.
He wants to take down the currently extremely weakened king and become the master of the new horse industry.
But it's hard for him to handle all the other great things he still has except for Paira.
So Calito gave you an order 'as a friend'.
To lure the other greats to the continent so that you can empty the Wagon.
If so, Calito will be able to quickly take control of the world without putting much effort into it.]
[Quest Objectives: Summoning the Five Devils to the Continent, excluding Calito (if it is difficult, the pie may be excluded, but the reward may be reduced.)]
[Compensation: Obtaining Calito's Power and Title]
[In the event of rejection and failure, the lifting of the Curse of Copay.]
"Oh, damn it!"
a self-in
I didn't believe it, but it really exploded.
A ridiculous situation in which the continent's hero himself has to do something that may explode the New World.
'No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!’
But the resolution vanished as soon as Calito's mouth was full of detailed explanations of the penalty.
Oh, for your information, if Cofei's curse is lifted, the land will return to its past form. You know what will happen if that happens, right?
“…….”
know every bit by bit
'I see you've completely tightened up real estate.’
Yeah, I told you to go to Elishia earlier.
The old man's voice, heard in his pocket, pierced Jae-ho's heart.
