CH 234

circle

Leaving the earthlings behind, the elders, including the chieftain of the tribe, gathered in the forest.

"Let's do it."

"Looks like you come from a rich city on Earth."

Yes. If you don't accept this kind of deal, even the Dwarves will laugh at you.

" ."

Everyone gave their consent and saw the three elders who were silent.

Loiso swallowed his voice at the gathered eyes.

"Oh, how can noble elves bathe in water ."

"Uh-huh, this isn't a water bath."

It has surpassed the level enough to ask for a water bath.

If you don't get it, it's a fucking deal.

"Let us not be ridiculed."

"Right. What if I fall a little bit?"

"Uh-huh, Elder O! That's a bit harsh."

"Heh heh, I apologize."

Seeing the mana stones piled up like a mountain, he was already rich in heart.

"Three elders. Let's do this."

"Ugh. The reason they put out so many mana stones is probably to make a difficult request."

"It's empty anyway, so what do you think?"

"Right. Three elders, let's just skip it once."

"No, didn't you also object?"

"Ttttttt, how did you get so hard on your mind? Isn't it all about making decisions for our tribe?

"Right. It was right against it then, but it is right for it now."

"Hey, everyone was blinded by wealth."

"What else can you do besides being blind? He said it would be best to catch Hogu first."

"Uh-huh, how can a noble bloodline speak so frivolously?"

"Oh, I don't know."

It looks like his eyes have turned after seeing too many mana stones.

"My apologies."

The president apologized and silently pressured the three elders.

"Huh, everyone wants it, but I can't be stubborn anymore."

Five! Unanimous."

I don't know if this is unanimous, but opinions are united.

Seeing the six old elves walking out of the forest, Suho grinned.

The wind spirit attached to his shoulder was chattering non-stop.

'Hogu is so darn good, oh oh oh oh oh... .'

It's not what the wind spirit Sylph is talking about, it's about capturing and delivering the sound that flows through the wind.

Silph was self-willed, but he wasn't intelligent enough to speak the language.

Or maybe it's because I'm still young.

Suho listened to all the meetings of the elves.

"Hmm, as the chief of the tribe, I will inform you of the outcome of the meeting."

The attention of the high elves gathered as well as the guardian party from Earth was focused.

"At the same time as solving the problem of the development of the Orun tribe and the supply and demand of food in Suho City ."

The rhetoric was long, but the conclusion was one.

"I urge you to engage in trade."

Some high elves cheered.

In particular, the eyes of the sacrificial wizards were on the pile of mana stones, and they were the eyes of falling in love.

Good.

When Suho and the chief of the tribe shook hands, cheers spread.

Lee So-jin had a puzzled face, but then smiled.

'I was the bridesmaid.'

Bad Vice President.

It seemed like he gave all the rights and sent himself... .

It doesn't make sense at first

Whether or not he gave full power to the chief of staff, it was clear who was in charge when the president, who had all the powers, went with him.

He was the only one who was mistaken.

"You can discuss the detailed quantity with this person."

Suho introduced Sojin Lee, and the chief of the tribe also called one of the elders.

"He is the head of the Orun tribe wizards."

The elder Oh, who was introduced, smiled and looked at Suho as if she were a daughter-in-law who was married.

"Heh heh, this is the Five Elders Isuro."

He was always sad to see the wizards being separated every year and the disciples dying by mistake.

It would be nice to trade directly with the Earth to obtain a lot of mana stones, but unfortunately, there was no gate to the Earth in the Orun Tribe realm.

'It must be a blessing from God.'

The five elders, Isuro sincerely thought so.

It would be inconvenient because there is no gate and the trade route is long, but I am so grateful that I came to you like this.

There are so many mana stones that those things that are bigger than the house... .

"This is a trade commemorative gift."

"Ouch! Teacher.

At Suho's words, Isuro's waist flattened.

"What else?"

"I have never been so moved in my 370 years of life."

Usually elves live 200 years, but the high elves seemed to live at least twice as long.

Even though Isro had an old look, he still had a straight face.

In any case, Isuro, the five elders, has the greatest interest in Suho.

"The Guardian Guild is like the brothers of our Orun tribe."

hey, good stuff Siblings are popping up too.

"So, I have something to ask you."

"Tell me."

"Can I take a look at the World Tree?"

At Suho's question, Isro's expression hardened in an instant.

"I can't listen to that."

I didn't even think about it, I drew a line that I didn't.

'Should I be forced to watch it?'

When Suho pondered for a moment, Sojin Lee grabbed his hand and pulled him away.

"No, sir, why are you like this?"

what?

"Why do you sprinkle ashes on cooked rice? Let's finish the negotiations first."

"It's as important as that."

The world tree, which is a key component of this world, should be observed. For the guardian, this was as important as the safety of the guardian guild.

"Huh, you can just sneak out later. Are you sure you want to fight?"

Aha.

Suho became dazed for a moment as if he had attained a great realization.

'You can watch it secretly.'

From a certain moment, I have been pursuing only a head-on match.

Probably after becoming a top predator.

At that point, there is nothing to look out for, and there are no restrictions.

I guess I'm too used to that kind of life.

Good. Negotiate."

Suho approached the five elders, Isuro, and smiled.

"It was a joke."

"Ahahaha! You're so mean. To mention the world tree is an insult among the elves to speak of a god. Please be careful in the future."

Just putting it in your mouth is an insult.

Be among themselves, not outsiders.

Is that a magic word like you?

"Today I will treat you with a big treat, so please enjoy yourself."

"That's right."

Suho replied coolly.

I gave you that much mana stone, but if the treatment is bad, I will use it.

The guardian group intervened in the high elves' festival.

Foods of much higher quality than those they had tasted at the inn were served with utmost care, and Suho ate, drank and enjoyed himself.

'No, aren't you enjoying yourself too much?'

Lee So-jin, who attended the banquet after completing detailed negotiations, asked with concern.

"Boss, aren't you playing too much?"

what? eat this Very tasty."

"No!"

Lee So-jin quietly whispered in her ear.

"You said you came to see the world tree secretly."

"That's it, you can go anytime."

" ."

Shouldn't you be looking for an opportunity?

"What's the name of this drink?"

"Oh, gosh. The secret to making wine with vegetables is handed down only to the elves."

"Oh, eggplant tastes like this."

Suho was exchanging drinks with Isuro, the five elders sitting next to him.

"Tell me more about that circle."

"Your teacher from Earth is very interested in magic."

circle.

A circle of magic rings.

Isro stretched out his right hand.

wii ing.

A circular mana ring appeared on his palm, spinning fiercely.

"This is a circle."

Oh oh!

"One circle can touch and feel mana."

It is an introductory to magic and the most important circle, but there is not much you can do with the first circle.

"But if you make a second loop, it's a different story."

Isro raised his left hand.

A mana ring also appeared on the palm of his hand.

wii ing.

"From the 2nd circle, you can feel and process mana."

A fireball that appeared on the palm of his right hand soared into the sky with the help of a circle on his left hand.

fire bolt.

A fireball was shot by borrowing the power of the wind.

"The third ring is here."

Isuro pounded his chest.

The bright light of the mana rings shone through the clothes.

"This strengthens the magic even more."

Another ring of mana appeared at Isuro's feet.

"This is the fourth and fifth circle."

One circle on each foot touched the floor like snowshoes worn in winter.

"It is at this time that Haste magic and fly become possible."

A bright light appeared on Isuro's forehead.

"From the sixth circle onwards, you can develop your magic with limitless imagination."

The flame that appeared on Isuro's palm turned into a dragon.

"This is an ancient lost dragon."

Live?

"Want to hear about the dragon legend?"

"Tell me."

"Heh heh heh, I'll say this. Come on, get one more drink."

The story of Isuro and Suho continued endlessly, and Jang Soon-pil listened with prickly ears while taking notes from the side.

*Suho Guild Vice President's Office has a good view.

If you look to the west, you can see a continuous green forest, and if you look to the east, you can see the fortress at a glance.

I stood by the window and picked up my mug.

Hororok.

"Ha, good."

It is now the beginning of winter.

Perhaps it is nature that is harsher than monsters. How many people will die of hunger and cold this winter?

At least there would be no such person in the Guardian City, but the Guardian Guild was already in a position to worry about the wider world outside of the city.

"I hope the boss is doing well."

"Are you going?"

Behind Kim Mi-so, the vampire Chai stood with an expressionless face.

Following her all day like a secretary, she claimed to be Kim Mi-so's new bodyguard. The main task is to notify Suho immediately if there is a threat to Kim Mi-so or the guild.

"No, it's okay. I'll go when the boss calls me.

I can't be bothered with my work.

Hororok.

He took another sip of hot coffee, then lifted his tablet and looked at it.

It is an act that secretaries originally do, but it has become a habit.

'You should read this instead of astronomy.'

In the distant past, in the Three Kingdoms period, the general situation was read through an astronomy.

Relying on astrology is outdated.

Truth and lies abound, but all major trends in the world are circulated in articles on the Internet.

Kim Mi-so, who was checking the news mainly for breaking news, touched a headline that caught the eye.

"Attitude toward 8-star dungeons?"

I thought the world's first 8-star dungeon was created, but it wasn't.

The end is approaching.

The last dungeon that mankind can conquer is 7 stars.

The dungeon master (boss) of an 8-star dungeon is the monarch.

This means one thing.

If dungeons up to 7 stars were exploration, from 8 stars it was war.

All monsters within the vast 8 castles move according to the command of the monarch.

ecosystem?

there is no such thing

All monsters, regardless of species, are subordinates and troops of the monarch.

Only 30 people can enter the dungeon.

No matter how great the Awakened, they cannot stand up to the monster corps with national-level power.

Break in 8-star dungeon?

This is the beginning of the end.

The appearance of the giant naval monarch was nothing more than aegyo.

With the advent of a truly gigantic land lord, the territories that humans can occupy will be further reduced.

The unavoidable end is approaching, no matter how hard and desperate you are.

what.

It is a common prophecy of the end times.

In a world where these kinds of curse-like prophecies are rife because of the chaos of the times, the major media outlets treat them as headlines.

Kim Mi-so confirmed the source and solidified her impression.

"Huh, Seongwoo Lee?"

Excerpts from an interview with a former champion in stealth.

Kim Mi-so raised the scroll again and finished reading the contents.

This is the first 8-star dungeon that appears in Gangneung.

It is impossible to attack that dungeon with only about 10 episodes.

The thick skin of the dungeon boss Toad Lord is a strong barrier that can withstand tactical cores... .

"Gangneung, winter, the time of appearance is unclear ."

An 8-star dungeon was announced.

Rather than dismiss it as a rumor and pass it by, I was concerned that he was a returnee.

Why did the guy who lived in hiding in the great joints do this interview?

"Shall I tell the owner?"

no. Let me know when you call next time. It's not urgent.

There are some things that even returnees don't know.

Here, there is an individual who is at war with the state.
