Chapter 61

Episode 61

Ssaaaaagh—!!!

A light wind blew inside the barracks, and then it slowly started to get stronger.

But surprisingly, the barracks’ cloth did not flutter.

A fierce whirlpool was created only within the barracks, as if the outside and inside were different spaces.

“It’s incredible… I’ve never seen such a powerful Maelstrom. And yet, the two boundaries are perfectly divided. “That kid’s talent is beyond words.”

Roxanne stuck out her tongue as she looked at Somin in the whirlpool.

“Namgoong, what on earth is your daughter’s identity? “There aren’t any wizards like that in the British Magic Association.”

“Because she is my daughter. “You can’t compare yourself to those underdogs.”

“…You’re a loser.”

She shook her head as if she couldn’t accept his answer.

“Whew-”

As Somin slowly opened her closed eyes, she let out a low breath as if she was relaxed.

“The mixing of souls is not yet perfect, but it has become stable. “If you continue to practice consistently in the future, you will achieve much better results.”

“thank you! “Master!”

“Hehehe, that’s funny. “I have never had any disciples in my life, but I later received two such great disciples.”

Kuhuran seemed to feel good about Somin’s words and lightly stroked her head.

Ugh….

He said while looking at Park Hyo-ju, who was sitting cross-legged on one side of the barracks.

“The wisps are happy and singing. I guess it means that there is good mutual response. “That young lady also has the qualities to match Somin.”

“Hey old man. “I don’t think you’ve ever made that look towards me.”

“That’s because you don’t have the qualities of a druid. “To become a revealer on such a topic… Since someone who is supposed to obey providence is trying to create providence, surely I can look favorably on you?”

“My status chose me over my grandfather. “It means I have better qualities.”

“I guess it’s because I like to pamper myself. “You are simple-minded.”

“Woo…”

Cuhuran and Roxanne, who had been together for a few days, were bickering every day as if they had never been closer.

“It’s nice to see. I thought Roxanne would never come to see Cuhuran. “Even a world like this has some good points.”

“I know. “I thought things fell out between them after she was kicked out because she wasn’t qualified.”

“Roxanne is not qualified? Haha Namgoong. “You are mistaken about that.”

“know. Excellent as a tamer. But a druid must be able to manipulate elemental power.”

Moose smiled and shook his head at Namgung’s words.

“no. “The reason she left here is a separate matter from the druids.”

“What do you mean?”

“Druids are a one-person tradition. “He can have many priests and disciples, but only one can become a druid.”

He looked at Roxanne.

“A new druid can be born by receiving druid tears, the power that previous druids gained through penance.”

“No way…”

“Yes. In order to pass down the tears of a druid, one must sacrifice the lives of one’s ancestors. “Roxanne didn’t like that, so she abandoned her clan.”

‘Maybe I was wrong.’

Namgung never thought that there would be such a past between the two.

Because they thought he was an unscrupulous person who killed Kuhuran because he was blinded by his desire to become stronger.

“…Right.”

Namgung was able to see her in a new way once again.

Rather than simply trying to undermine Alec’s power, he was wondering whether it would be a good idea to really keep her within his power.

‘Because druids also have a deep connection with shamans. If we capture Roxanne, we can also connect with African powers…’

Namgoong had no choice but to be cautious as the power gradually grew, contrary to his intentions.

Now, there were only those who followed him and believed in him, but as the number of people increases, there will inevitably be more people who come for profit rather than faith.

‘Because those who pursue profit easily betray.’

That’s why he put Myeong-hun in the lead and tried to stay behind himself.

Seaaaaagh-!!!

It was then.

A strong wind began to blow around Park Hyo-joo, who was immersed in meditation in the lotus position, accompanied by a loud noise.

“Wow?!”

Park Hyo-joo also looked at her surroundings with her eyes wide open as if she was startled.

“Wow, this is amazing.”

Unlike the mental storm Somin had caused, the wind around her was pure wind itself.

[Grrr….]

I thought I heard something like laughter from somewhere.

“Is this possible…”

Namgung quickly looked around.

“that’s right. “It looks like she summoned a spirit.”

Moose put his hands together and looked at her with an expression of emotion that was unbecoming of his size.

“It’s been a while since I’ve heard a spirit’s voice this clear… I guess I saw it right. “This is not an otherworldly power granted by her status, but her own ability.” Searᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Kuhuran looked at Park Hyo-joo.

The wind swirling around her slowly took shape, and a small doll-like girl the size of the palm of her hand appeared.

“I can’t believe they even succeeded in transforming the spirit into a tangible form…”

Roxanne was mesmerized by the sight of the wind spirit floating around her.

“It’s only less than a week… Maybe it will really work.”

“It looks like you saw it too.”

“of course. “I’m a druid too.”

She hesitated for a moment before responding to Namgung’s words.

“Spirit water.”

“Well, the price is so high that I can’t even afford to buy it now, but… it’s something I’ve been eyeing on the list in the Naga clan’s treasure trove.”

She nodded and answered.

“It says that it increases spirit affinity and allows you to make contracts with higher-level spirits.”

The price is a whopping 1 million heads.

Considering that even the elixir that can restore a dying state costs 400,000 heads, it must have been a huge price even though it is a consumable item.

“The important thing is that you can make a contract with a higher-level spirit. “That means it’s a 100% probability.”

Roxanne spoke to Park Hyo-joo, who was looking curiously at the wind spirit floating around her with sparkling eyes.

“If she uses spirit water….”

“She might be able to make a contract with a high-level spirit.”

“Does it bother you that you speak so calmly? “Namgoong, you don’t know how great this is.”

She spoke excitedly as if it were her job.

“This world has become a little more interesting.”

Namgung also slowly nodded at her words.

“me too.”

* * *

Ungseong- Ungseong-

Sevit Island was crowded with people from all over the country.

“When on earth does it start?”

“If I sign a contract, will I be able to join the clan created by Alek Traman?”

“You’re laughing so hard. Do you think it will be you? I was hiding because I was scared of goblins. Watch this brother become a contractor. “Don’t give up.”

“Damn. “Do your best.”

Even in this situation, there are people who joke and laugh and talk,

“…hallowed be thy name…” and

“Namuami…”

to people who desperately pray as if they are on the threshold of death. until.

The atmosphere was polar opposites.

“Wow, how many people are there in total? I think there are probably thousands of people. I wonder if we can get inside the island….”

“The government issued an emergency notice, but it doesn’t seem to have worked.”

Ho-jun and Myung-hoon arrived at Sebitseom and looked at the people with rapt expressions.

“This is still good.”

“…This?”

However, unlike the other two, Namgoong spoke in a calm voice. He slowly looked at the people.

Before coming over from Iceland, he spoke to the Prime Minister about the dangers of auctions through Park Hyo-joo.

He couldn’t reveal that he was a returner, but instead said that he found a clue in the reward he received while hunting the world boss.

‘It’s something that can’t be helped.’

I knew the rules of the auction and the future that would befall them, but there was no way to completely stop them.

If they were suppressed by the government, there would have been a bigger backlash, and even if it had been revealed that they were regressors, there would have been fewer people who would have believed them.

‘In the end, the choice is yours.’

Because he didn’t mean to live the lives of those many people.

‘There is no need to regret.’

Namgoong once again composed himself and held tightly the hand of Somin, who was standing next to him.

Because he too made a choice.

“You guys go back now. Because it will start soon. “It would be difficult to get caught up in it.”

“All right. older brother.”

“Somin. Because I’ll be waiting. See you soon.”

[Everyone is quiet.]

That was then.

As the group left the island, the sky distorted and Yachas appeared as if they had been waiting.

Perhaps because of their previous experience, when they appeared, the people who were noisy all fell silent.

[Hmm… 3982 people… It’s lower than expected, but it’s still enough to hold an auction.]

The person standing in front of the yakshas had a face that was a little thinner than Gyu-ryu’s.

‘First tier current.’

He was a rival to Gyu-ryu and was currently the strongest among the Yasha clan.

[From now on, I will talk about the rules of the auction. As everyone knows, this is not the only area under our clan’s jurisdiction. It governs Asian countries. Of course, this auction is being held in other countries as well.]

He said, looking down at the participants.

It looked as if he was looking at things below, and it certainly wasn’t an attempt to find a contractor.

It looked like he was just choosing a toy to play with.

[And other clans will also hold a competition in each city to select candidates for the auction.]

Ugh…!!

When Hyun-ryu stretched out his hand, a huge holographic map of Sevit Island appeared in the sky.

[Only two people were selected as candidates from the clan. Korea, Japan, China… whatever. Anyway, this means that only two people will be selected out of all the participants from the countries under our jurisdiction.]

“Now, wait a minute…!! So how many participants are there?”

Someone raised their hand and asked.

However, even the person who asked the question covered his mouth with an expression of regret and trembled.

[Good question. Because I was going to tell you anyway. I won’t kill you, so don’t tremble. I wonder if I can win the favor of my clan with an appearance like that.]

Hyunryu answered the man who asked the question with a friendly face.

[Total number of participants is 79311]

“…!!!”

“…!!!”

He smiled at them as if enjoying himself.

“Really? 7… So you’re saying that out of over 70,000 people, only two people are selected?”

“Fuck this doesn’t make sense!”

“I… I want to go!”

“me too! “I’m giving up too!!”

Wooooow….

At that moment, a circular line appeared on the floor where people were gathered.

[Hehe, it would be difficult if I went out on my own. We haven’t even built the wall yet. I guess I’ll have to build a wall first.]

“A wall? “They plan to lock us up!”

“…Once that’s made, you can’t go out!!”

People began to scatter beyond the line drawn on the floor.

[That’s strange. I must have said it. I couldn’t have set the language wrong, so why are there so many people who don’t understand it?]

Hyunryu’s face hardened.

[I said this is a place to appeal to the clan, but if you turn your back and run away like this, it’s not attractive. Isn’t that right?]

It’s a breeze –

Pyususususuk!!!!

The heads of those who crossed the line were cut off all at once. People began to scream once again as blood gushed out like a fountain.

“….”

Namgoong covered Somin’s eyes.

But at that moment, she slowly lowered his hand and looked directly at the scene.

“are you okay. dad.”

Somin wasn’t planning on avoiding it anymore. Rather, I watched them die one by one as if I could see them in my eyes.

[Now pay attention. From now on, I will tell you about the rules of the auction. There was a sculpture in Korea that was just right. Solbit Island, the smallest of the three islands, is your destination.]

The people were now silent and looked at the holographic map floating in the sky.

Sevit Island and Gabit Island were connected on either side of Solbit Island, and the two islands were also connected by a bridge, making the three islands form a triangle.

[The rules are simple. All you have to do is catch the boss inside Solbit Island. When the hunt is over, those who survived will now compete for the final time with candidates from other countries.]

Woongseong – Woongseong –

[And ultimately, two candidates from the Yaksha clan are selected.]

Hyunryu continued.

[But if I were to tell you to catch the boss right away, it would be difficult. So, we have taken care to help you become stronger. Those are the two islands over there, Sebitseom and Gabitseom.]

At his words, everyone’s eyes turned to the islands in front of them.

[Some of you may have experienced it. When you hunt monsters, you drop something called rune. You can obtain runes by hunting monsters in Sevitseom.]

“Oh….”

“Really?”

[And you can get artifacts on Gabit Island. There are weapons, armor, and accessories.]

“Awesome….”

“It’s not a joke, is it?”

“Was it a good idea for you to come too? Only the kids who got robbed a little while ago were Xed. “Giggle.”

At Hyunryu’s words, the people seemed to have forgotten their previous fears and began to murmur once again.

[Of the two islands, there is only one you can go to. It would be better to choose carefully.]

“That kind of thing….”

“Then are you saying it’s a rune or a weapon?”

“…What should I choose? “What is good?”

The people who were filled with joy began to fall into confusion again.

[Okay then. [I will start the proxy auction.]

Hyunryu waved his hand roughly as if he was no longer bothered to see them like that and said.

[Taking more time will only lower its value in our eyes. Only those who open the way are worthy.]

After the yakshas disappeared, people started talking about which of the two islands to go to.

Roaring – Roaring –

But people couldn’t move quickly.

“Dad, where are we going?”

Somin asked Namgoong.

“He gave me a hint a while ago. If you wait, the value will only decrease. Runes? armor? “It’s insignificant in their eyes. It’s not important that we become stronger.”

Everyone couldn’t help but roll their eyes when they heard that they could become stronger after going through a hellish time.

‘There’s something really important.’

It’s about hunting monsters.

Faster than anyone else.

It was a way to show one’s worth.

So there is only one answer.

“To Solbit Island.”
