Episode 751: Consulting
Going outside is more dangerous than you think.
This is especially true if you are inside a tower, and if it is on the 99th floor, the difficulty increases several times.
Because beyond monsters and disasters, strange creatures welcome you.
“and. “Jingle things.”
“Is there anything else? “I have to handle it.”
Haven’t you already experienced it?
Just on the way from the village to the capital, I met several Goyche.
Even low-level monsters could be solved with just a few slashes, but when those who started to properly understand the concept appeared, it took time.
It was a little better if I half-ignored it and moved quickly.
“Get some rest. “It’s not like we’ll just explore for a day or two and end.”
It couldn’t continue indefinitely either.
It’s better if you have a specific destination.
All you have to do is get there, so the faster you move, the better. But that’s not us.
You’ll have to move around until the King of Worship reacts.
‘Well, actually, it might not mean much.’
There was no need to show up, and they could have targeted somewhere other than me.
So we also have other missions.
If there is a dangerous abnormality, dispose of it as much as possible.
Even if you kill a strange entity with a concept, it will not die completely.
Even if the body dies, the concept lives and appears again.
Still, the process took time, and once you caught it, you wouldn’t encounter it again for a while.
If you’re lucky and can retrieve the concept it had, you can completely eliminate it.
There was something else to do besides hunting strange creatures.
“You said you could just plug this into a place that could be pioneered, right?”
A stake was driven in for a detection signal.
“that’s right. When you get the signal, people will come. “If they think it is safe, they will also bring immigrants.”
Expanding the territory of a kingdom without a king.
To be recognized as a kingdom, there must be a king and territorial citizens.
The people already exist.
Kings also come when the time is right.
‘I never thought I would become king.’
He is a nominal king with no particular meaning.
Anyway, two of the three conditions can be met, so territory is the problem.
I heard that they have attempted to expand their territory several times so far.
However, there were no significant results.
“I wonder if it will work this time.”
“It will be difficult unless we eliminate large-scale monsters.”
First of all, the monsters keep appearing and disturbing me.
Most of them are low-level, but if intermediate or higher levels pop up, it is difficult to solve them.
That’s why we need to make a decision and subdue intermediate-level or higher monsters to semi-forcibly create a safe period.
‘Honestly, it’s difficult.’
There are too many concepts accumulated on the 99th floor over a long period of time.
There may be some objects that haven’t been discovered yet.
Even at intermediate level or above, there are already 80 known species.
In other words, you only have to catch 80 of them.
Do you know when and where it will appear?
If you catch him, you might be able to send someone else.
okay. It’s not about appearing, it’s about sending.
A kingdom of worshipers.
Because there are strange things there too.
Wouldn’t it be a mess if I sprayed just a few of the things I was managing?
No matter how we solve it.
“Wouldn’t it be better to expand all the way to the south? “Last time, those guys attacked the one I made.”
There are not only strange creatures.
There are also admirers.
The guys here were basically gold level.
‘It’s a gold level, so it’s different from the guys below.’
It’s only gold because it’s worse than platinum.
I can roughly say that the NPCs here are at a good level.
It wasn’t a story to be taken lightly.
It’s just that the NPCs on our side can’t catch the monster, but there’s nothing they can do against the same person.
The story is that such guys invade the territory and make a mess.
It is for the same reason that pioneers moved south to expand their territory.
The worshipers’ kingdom is located in the north, so they want to expand their territory far to the south.
“Even the hair loss man must be having a hard time.”
Because all expedition members, including us, are pioneers.
Not to mention the hair loss man.
I have to go all over the place to find the concept that Ophelia mentioned.
I looked at the map, expressing my deepest condolences to those who had to move with him.
“We’re almost in the area of a museum or something.”
The map was drawn quite specifically, and the areas of various strange entities were also marked there.
Not all types.
There were some that had a wide range of activities or appeared quite frequently.
Even now, the names and their territories displayed on the map are moving slowly.
Those that have not been dealt with or have been named are observed and chased by a separate exploration team.
In that sense, it is a mysterious museum.
“It’s a sedentary monster, so if nothing else happens, it will come out.”
Just as Kellen said.
There are some that are fixed in one area as if they have taken root.
I could have arrived now if I wanted to, but I decided to wait for a while.
“I’m not sure, but the museum closes after sunset.”
“You can go in around sunset.”
“Can I stay here?”
Insurance for unexpected situations.
Along the lobby were human models standing with their arms wide open.
– Rolling around.
The eyes are looking at me.
live.
I touched the exhibit nearby.
I felt a slight warmth.
“My heart isn’t beating?”
“Yes.”
I couldn’t feel the pulse that a living being should have.
At least this case should be called a noble person.
The person hanging from the ceiling instead of the chandelier was spinning in a difficult orbit with his entire body broken into pieces.
Of course, the lighting changed accordingly.
Below that.
[Dark clouds and floating clouds]
– A work of art that expresses clouds blocking the sun and sudden inaccuracies.
It was written what it meant.
He’s crazy.
The guy hanging from the ceiling muttered something, but his mouth, which was not connected to his lungs, could not make any sound.
I passed the lobby and went up.
Everyone here may have their own circumstances, but the purpose of my coming here is clear.
Checking if there is a nyangpun.
The rest is subordinate.
-Kkii Iik.
-Ugh.
Strange twists and muffled screams.
I wandered around a space that made me feel bad just by passing by.
A person whose skin has peeled off or whose bones are exposed.
I don’t know how, but there were cases where the blood was visible through the transparent body, and there were also cases where the bodies were mixed together.
“You have bad taste.”
Museums have themes.
Even history museums, dinosaur museums, and even coffee museums all have a theme.
What is the main thing here?
That was obvious.
“anatomy.”
It is a museum themed around the human body.
Skin, muscles, joints, nerves, blood vessels and even organs.
An exhibition hall and museum that brings it all together.
This was the part where I could understand why that phrase was written on the ticket.
“Deokchun, do you have anything?”
“Yes.”
I hurriedly moved to look for Nyangfun, but I couldn’t see him.
At least the story goes that none of the people on display are Nyangpun.
I felt fortunate, but at the same time, I was filled with anxiety.
It’s good that I didn’t get into trouble, but where is it?
Did he really die and leave the tower?
At that time, I was nervously kicking my feet with complicated feelings.
“Huh? Oh my gosh.”
Deokchun pulled my pants down.
What you see when you point to one side is:
[No entry except for those involved.]
A phrase that is sure to be seen in any museum.
A space for the people who manage this place and a place for things that are kept in storage rather than on display.
That’s all that’s left.
I went inside without hesitation.
“hmm?”
Before long, I could see a faint light shining at the end of the dark hallway.
Light leaking through the crack in the door.
A place proudly marked as the museum director’s office.
-Kkiik.
As I carefully turned the doorknob, I heard a voice.
It even sounds familiar.
“So it makes sense to run a museum this way!”
“Oh no. It has been running well so far...”
“Well done! Where can I get postpaid tickets? “This is how it will be maintained, including the management of funds!”
“...It doesn’t cost anything to maintain it anyway. “It could be a big problem.”
“What? “You don’t lift anything?”
-bang!
With the sound of hitting the table, Nyangfun spits out words in rapid fire.
“Why isn’t anything consumed! Call someone and put it on display, huh? If you just take human bodies and pile them up, how will they be arranged and who will manage them? Museum space is limited, but isn’t this a limited resource? Oh no! You think it makes sense to maintain the museum by being so complacent! We already have no customers, and we are not receiving government support or promoting it. Why is the ledger like this again? “If you’re in charge, you have to manage it responsibly!”
“Boo. Ooooh!”
Nyangpun yelling and a huge monster crouching with his hat covering his ears.
I narrowed my eyes at that strange combination.
“...Nyanfun?”
“Eh? “Gongbleai?”
Nyangfun blinks.
I don’t know what the situation is, but I’m glad that he looks fine.
Nyangfun wasn’t the only one who got angry seeing me like that.
“Oh oh! It’s a customer. “I guess I’ll be busy because I have to pay for the ticket!”
It’s trying to come towards me with a ferocious energy.
It seemed like he was desperately trying to get away from Nyangpun somehow.
“Yeah, no. sit down.”
Nyangfun did not take it easy.
He patted my shoulder and looked solemn.
“This is my partner. I was called in for consulting. A supplier to the Flower and Bird Bureau and a partner of Helldying Kitchen, Fram Berg, is a member of a large production cooperative, a great merchant with the qualifications of a dimension merchant, and an expert in the business of making equipment and elixirs, so we will continue the conversation in earnest. .”
“Uuuuu.uuuu.”
The guy’s expression turned black and dead.
