Chapter 117

Episode 117

“Umm...”

“Where is this, master!”

Damian let out a moan as his body was engulfed in light and his eyes flickered at the same time.

My eyesight was slowly returning.

However, if there is something slightly different from before, it is that the body that was on the top floor of the tower is now standing in the middle of the spacious room.

And it was the fact that a stranger was standing across from him with his hands behind his back.

“Hello, are you Lunos?”

“...”

Sweep!

As Damian pretended to be there, the man who had been peering out of the arched window turned around.

He was an old man with gray hair.

With a height of more than 180 cm, a blunt, hooked nose, drooping aegyo skin and deep wrinkles.

The dark spots blooming here and there and the protruding clown look like a gloomy black magician, but the gray hair that comes down to the waist and a neat beard give off the loftiness of a sage who has mastered the logic of the world at first glance.

Refining the white robe with delicate gold patterns also played a part.

Because the room surrounded by antique clothes and celestial night sky gave me the illusion that I was in another dimension.

“Your face is full of worry. A wandering pilgrim in search of the truth.”

“...yes?”

So, Damian tilted his head at the old man’s words, while thinking that he might not be the golden hand, Runos, but a kind of pseudo fortuneteller.

It was because it was something that happened, but it was because the first thing to say was to see a person’s face.

“If you came because you were worried, you came very well. Because I am the Master of this Magic Tower and the Golden Hand, Runos, who represents the Principality of Parma in both name and reality. It may serve as a guidepost for those of you who are wandering in search of the truth.”

“Aha yes. hello.”

“So, why did you step all the way to Ye?”

As Damian lowered his head, Runos sat down at the round table and spread his sleeves.

Indeed, it was the curiosity of a master of the Mage Tower.

At first glance, he seems to have realized all the knowledge in the world, but he asks straight-forward and sharp questions hidden behind his intelligent eyes.

In the magic tower of alchemy, where everything is weighed by gains and losses, it was a basic passive to take relatively less damage compared to the amount the customer paid.

It was the sound that it came out automatically, instinctively, even if it was not intentional.

So there was no way that Damian didn’t know what the meaning of the words was implied in it, even though he was doing this kind of cloudless dialogue

. Other people don’t have much faith.”

“Are you a pity?”

“yes. Are you all right?”

dump!

Demian sat across from the round table, answering Runos’s question, which happened in one motion that even the owner of this room, Runos, was not aware of.

In other words, this 10-year-old old player never flinched in front of Runos, one of the owners of the Mage Tower.

He was showing a seasoned aspect of asking him a question first.

“Chuck! Something else is not okay! I’ve heard that he paid quite a lot of money for research expenses...”

“That’s too much praise.”

Fuck!

When Runos burst out laughing, Damian smiled.

It was to the point where I wanted to hit it with one blow.

Not just one or two pennies, but a whopping 1 million gold!

The value of the jewels that Damian paid for Arwin was tens of millions of won in cash.

It could be said that it was part of the price of his life he earned from participating in the defense of Aldeon Fortress the other day.

It was said that the amount was not light enough to be easily burned as an interview fee.

The money sleeping in the safe is literally Damian’s blood and flesh.

It was because it was the creed of a man named Damien not to spend a penny on anything except for family and friends.

“...you.”

“yes. Mr. Lunos.”

It was a reaction as if he had heard that the demon king had returned.

From the eyes wide open like those of an owl to the wrinkles like a distorted old tree.

And as Damian looked at him regardless of his harsh reaction, Runos soon began to ask with a puzzled face.

It was because I felt like I was being stopped by him for some reason.

“Tears from the Three World Trees, what the hell are you going to use them for?”

“Everything has its own circumstances, doesn’t it? Sometimes, it is sold as an ornamental product for high-ranking people because it is the bottom’s physiology...”

Ssik!

When Runos asked, Damian smiled.

Contrary to the bloody question, it was a clear smile.

< Tears of the World Tree >!

This hero-grade material item was the crystal of the world tree sprouted through the gathering of the will of causality, and it could be said that it was something that could not be seen.

It was because the world tree itself spanned half of the middle world and half of the spirit world, and the place where the world tree was located was thoroughly protected by the fairies.

But, are you trying to get the crystal of such a sacred tree with just a few words?

Such a thing could not have happened on the continent of Arcia, and it should not have happened.

“Can you make it?”

“...!”

Unless it was synthesized with highly advanced alchemy.

“Hehe, the tears of the world tree...”

Damian asked, and Runos broke out in a cold sweat.

It was a somewhat difficult request.

Is there anyone else who wants to make tears for the World Tree?

Of course, if it was Master Alchemist Runos, who occupies the top position in the Alchemy Tower, there was nothing that couldn’t make the world tree cry.

It was said that it could be done.

However, if the problem is that the Tears of the World Tree boasts the most terrible level of difficulty among the alchemy that Runos has honed, the problem is... “It’s not

difficult to make, but there is a problem.”

“Is it a problem?”

“Yes. It is a very serious matter.”

flash!

For those who know the world tree’s tears, it could be said that Runos’s eyes lit up at Damian’s words.

Maybe it was because this moment was his last chance to escape.

“What is the problem?”

“What’s the problem, you bastard!”

Food Duck!

As Runos’ eyes brightened, Damian and Munchhi crossed arms at the same time.

It was a sad look.

If the appearance of him just before was the naivety of an innocent young man, the man now crossing his arms in front of him has an intimidating atmosphere resembling that of a gangster.

And Runos felt as if a giant snake, several meters tall, was glaring at him while entangled in this unknown atmosphere emanating from Damian.

“That’s...”

Every word!

Before he knew it, Runos felt cold sweat running down his body like broth, and he had to explain to Damian how difficult the tears of the World Tree were to make.

“... now you understand? Currently, our Alchemy’s Mage Tower doesn’t have materials like this! So, even though I can make the tears of the World Tree, that is difficult due to the circumstances of the Mage Tower!”

“aha.”

And while Damian slowly nodded at the words of Runos.

The moment you open your subspace inventory and put your hand in it.

“Heeheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?!”

cooong!

Runos could not help tearing his chin as he looked at the bundle that Damian had taken out of the subspace inventory.

“This this this this...?!”

“It’s a gift. For our golden hand, Runos.”

It was almost the size of a man’s height.
