Chapter 18: Hidden Dungeon (3)
Jun-woo has been wrestling for 7 hours to unravel the door's structure.
"Give it back."
"Yes."
The steering wheel turned, and the gears connected to it moved.
I looked at the stopped position and made a gear to match it.
"You do well ."
Concentration was required because the size and spacing of the teeth had to be made precisely.
"That is amazing. It is as accurate as a ruler."
Another place was plugged in.
"Give it back."
"Open, please."
The handle turned. The gears turned, and the door moved slightly.
"Five!"
But the door didn't open.
Jun-woo made a ladder out of wood and climbed up.
"Well ."
It was a strangely structured gear.
Jun-woo did not know, but a bevel gear was necessary to change the direction of rotation to a right angle.
As he touched and turned the gear, Jun-woo thought about what kind of gear to make.
And came down and made it.
"Hey, are you an alchemist?"
"no."
"Did you study something related to this when you were in school?"
"no."
"Then how do you know how to do this?"
"It's easier than you think."
Kim Deok-Cheol did not understand Jun-woo's words. No matter how much he looked at him, Deok-Cheol Kim couldn't figure out the gate.
"That, right? are you old all the way ."
It was Kim Deok-Cheol scratching his head.
Jun-woo put the gear he made up again.
"Give it back."
"Turn around~."
The steering wheel turned, and hundreds of gears meshed and turned.
Screech-
The handle continued to turn. When enough people could pass, Kim Deok-Cheol hurriedly changed the direction of the steering wheel and turned it.
Bang!
"done!"
"Why the door?"
"You must prepare for battle. Leave it to me. I'm sure I'll get your attention."
Kim Deok-Cheol turned around and relaxed.
"I don't think there are any monsters."
"Huh? really? Then? Is it over?"
"I do not know."
"then open?"
"Yeah."
The door was wide open.
The two went inside.
With his shield in front, Kim Deok-Cheol looked ahead with tense eyes.
Obviously, nothing was coming.
"no?"
"do not have."
"Let's go slow."
"Yeah."
Jun-woo and Kim Deok-Cheol walked back through the long tunnel.
Four corpses of white bones were seen.
"There is a corpse here ."
After walking for a while, a silver wall stopped them.
"What is that?"
It was like an iron wall.
They stood in front of the wall, and Kim Deok-Cheol raised his sword as he looked at the door.
"Should I wake up?"
"I don't think so. there."
"yes?"
The inscription was engraved in a position where you had to look up slightly.
[I'm going to ask you a question. There are 10 questions, and if you get 2 or more questions wrong, you cannot go out.]
"What, what is this? What kind of trouble are you going to come up with suddenly?"
Like chalk erased, the text disappeared, and the subsequent text appeared.
[The first problem sorts the following items in descending order of value.]
Ore stuck to the silver wall.
These were familiar things to Jun-woo.
The ores attached to the wall were iron ore, titanium, adamantium, Mithril, black Mythril, oriharukon, and black oriharukon.
"What, what? This is too easy."
Kim Deok-Cheol confidently moved the position of the ore.
1 was iron ore, 2 was titanium, 3 was adamantium, 4 was Mithril, 5 was Black Mithril, and 6 was Orichalcum.
And on the 7th, I was going to put Black Orichalcum, but Jun-woo stopped Kim Deok-Cheol.
"no."
"yes?"
"Orichalcum is more expensive than black oriharukon."
"Isn't it Black is more expensive. I've seen it on the news."
"Prices change all the time. And the two ores are always back and forth. Orichalkon is more expensive now."
"That, right? Then put black on 6?"
"It's a door, what Then I'll ask you!"
Kim Deok-Cheol completely trusted Jun-woo.
As if through the first and second doors, Jun-woo took a seat and asked Deok-Cheol Kim to turn the handle.
"Give it back."
"Okay! Huh?"
As I turned the steering wheel, words were engraved on the wall next to Kim Deok-Cheol.
[This is the last gate. If you make a breakthrough within 200 hours, don't give a golden chest as a reward. If you break through within 400 hours, you will receive a silver box, and if you breakthrough after that, you will be rewarded with a bronze box. I will be thirsty, so I will provide you with a well.]
When a hole was made in the wall, the water stream fell in a parabolic pattern at a constant speed.
"200 hours You're going to get caught?"
It was unclear how long it would take.
However, food was a problem.
Since he didn't come to hunt, Jun-woo didn't have any food to prepare.
There were only 20 silpis fruits, which are fruits that relieve hunger, in the item window.
"Do you have anything to eat?"
"no It's only on the way out after hunting, so it's only about a day's worth ."
Jun-woo's eyes turned to the water.
A person can only survive on water from three weeks to two months. If food ran out, that was the last energy source.
"I have 20 silpis berries, so I eat them sparingly."
"Yes ."
"Let's go out before we run out of food."
"Boo, I beg you. Brother!"
"Yes, please return it."
The steering wheel turned, the gear turned.
Time passed accordingly.
"Give it back."
"Leave it to me!"
One by one, the gears Junwoo made were stuck in the door.
"Give it back."
"Ugh!"
However, since there were many gears to be plugged in, time flew by quickly.
"Give it back."
"Yes ."
fatigue came over
"Are you going to sleep?"
"Okay."
"Let's sleep for a few hours ."
Kim Deok-Cheol sat on the floor and lay flat on his back.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't be of much help."
"no."
"Let's rest a little ."
Kim Deok-Cheol stopped talking.
Jun-woo sat on the floor and stared intently at the door.
Then I pulled out the blueprint for the wooden machine in the item window.
Many gears looked similar.
If you use the recipe, you can learn how to make the items contained in the recipe.
Isn't the blueprint similar?'
I didn't know how long the method would last because I couldn't make it right away, but Jun-woo needed the memory contained in this blueprint.
[Do you want to use it?]
Jun-woo used the blueprint for the first time.
Ways to make it flooded my mind. It was a vivid memory, as if I could have made it from the beginning.
This is flat crawling Helical gear Bevel, worm gear rack pinion .'
We also learned the names of various commonly used gears.
Jun-woo turned the steering wheel and looked at the gears slowly.
There were definitely more things that caught my eye than before I used the blueprint.
If it's like this Doesn't it just go around the same place? Let's check again.'
Jun-woo pointed out the curious part and moved on.
I have to change .'
The position of the upper and lower gears had to be changed, and a suitable one had to be made and inserted.
Time went on and on.
Jun-woo looked at the door without stopping until Kim Deok-Cheol woke up.
"Aren't you sleeping?"
"Are you awake?"
"What can I do to help?"
"just Please wait."
Jun-woo was answering with his gaze fixed on the door. That's why I was concentrating on the structure of the door now.
Kim Deok-Cheol went to the drinking water fountain to drink water and sat quietly on the floor, looking at Jun-woo's back.
Time passed so much that I didn't even know how many hours had passed.
When hunger strikes, Kim Deok-Cheol takes the bread from the paper bag and caresses it.
"there Would you like some bread?"
"Eat first."
"still Will it?"
Kim Deok-Cheol scratched his cheek and went to the back.
Kim Deok-Cheol quietly ate the bread in the back because he didn't want to interfere.
As Kim Deok-Cheol led a fairly regular life, the time of drowsiness was always the same.
It's 12 o'clock in the evening How the heck has he been doing this for hours .'
Kim Deok-Cheol rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at Jun-woo, and stretched out to the side.
And when I woke up, Jun-woo was sleeping.
What the hell is .'
Kim Deok-Cheol narrowed his eyes in dizziness as he scanned the gears that make up the door.
It's good that I came with a smart friend Can I trust this friend?'
Kim Deok-Cheol trusted only Jun-woo because it seemed that he could not open the door at all.
