Chapter 105

Episode 105

▶ I purchased a residence expansion book.

“Are you really okay with this?”

Namgung said as he took out a small scroll from the Yaksha bundle.

When the demon hiding in the Taj Mahal died and the fourth door was completely closed, a benefit was given to the survivors.

It was a newly updated product from the proxy family.

Of course, the items in the bundle could not be purchased without the head, so that alone was not a benefit.

Instead, only one of the updated items could be purchased at a discounted price. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

[Embryonic Tooth]

[Armor made from Buruche Feather]

[Palamen’s Knee Pads]

Namgung looked through the new items in the bundle.

‘There is a condition that the discount is only available for items that are rare or lower, but these are still desirable items at this point.’

And the discounted price was the amount you could have purchased even if you had survived without specifically hunting monsters so far.

‘However, most of the updated items are weapons and protective gear. Otherwise, things like this are expensive even when discounted, or are miscellaneous things that people won’t be interested in.’

Namgung thought as he opened the expansion book.

In the end, the benefit was, in a subtle way, like telling people to buy weapons and armor.

Of course there was nothing wrong with that.

As a result, humanity’s power will definitely be increased and it will be helpful in the fight against monsters.

‘People will think…’

Although things will change once they find out which door will open next and who they will be fighting.

‘They are really terrible people.’

Each and every one of them was a series of traps designed to ultimately kill humans. It’s funny, but it’s something we’ve become so used to now that Namgoong even thought about doing that.

“It was a decision we all discussed together. I wonder how things will change? “Go ahead and try it.”

Even at the discounted price, the expansion required a huge head.

You have to collect all of Namgung’s group’s heads to be able to purchase it.

It was the highest price among the updated lists.

‘For some reason, I wonder if Yor may have added it, but…’

In any case, the party decided to give up the opportunity to buy weapons and armor and thought that there would be no other opportunity to buy the expansion book this time.

“The number of people has increased, so it would be good to have a larger base.”

“So why is he here?”

“…Namisa?”

Namgung chuckled as he watched Changhwan, the new member of the group, join Myeonghun and Hojun in a bickering relationship.

▶ I used the residence extension form.

▶ Do you want to use the expansion book on a place that is determined to be a residence: [Goblin Fortress]?

Namgung nodded.

▶ Your residence will be expanded.

Kugggggggggg….

As they tore the scroll, the fortress they were in began to shake violently.

“Oh oh…?”

As if by magic, pillars rose one by one and the room they were in began to expand.

▶ Residence expansion has been completed.

▶ Upgrade conditions: [Residence repairs twice] The conditions have been met.

▶ The level of the Goblin Fortress has increased.

▶ The level of the Goblin Fortress has become (Magic) and various additional effects have been obtained.

‘advancement? Was there something like this…?’

Namgung looked at the notification that appeared and opened his eyes slightly, as if he was a little surprised.

He looked at the base that had changed in an instant.

The pillars and walls reinforced by Mandeoksu were reinforced with solid stone, and the number of rooms was also increased.

“Wow…! “There’s even a vacant lot inside!!”

“What is that? Is it a warehouse? “There’s even a display case!”

“I think you can put food ingredients in here too? “It’s cool, unlike other places.”

And as surprised as Namgung was, the party members were busy looking at the changed base.

“Wow… I can’t believe there is a training center like this in the basement. “If we just reinforce the walls around the vacant lot, we won’t have to go to a separate training ground anymore, right?”

Myung-Hoon said as he looked at the newly created underground vacant lot.

“It’s okay.”

Namgung gave a short review.

However, even without showing it, he was more pleased than anyone else about the changes in the fortress.

If I had been in a past life, I would never have imagined that I would be able to create a base like this.

In my past life, I was just busy hiding from the eyes of monsters, so I didn’t really create a base or anything.

No, actually, there was a base.

There are dozens and hundreds of them all over the city.

It was just a hole where you could hide.

I never imagined that it would be possible to create a place in this world where people could gather and live together like this.

“…is it a house?”

“yes?”

“no. nothing.”

Namgung, who muttered in a voice so low that he could not be heard, lightly tapped Myunghoon on the shoulder.

“We are lucky to have a training ground. “You will be able to train the summons obtained from the Night of Summons.”

“I’ll make a schedule.”

Myung-Hoon noticed Namgung’s thoughts and nodded his head in response.

“You got Roxanne’s contact information, right? “Get her advice and plan your training schedule.”

“yes.”

[Crrrrr….]

Namgung glanced at the red-furred wolf standing next to Myung-hun.

[Jeokryeom]

A name was written in blue above the wolf’s head.

“He’s a good guy.”

It was a rare grade summon.

Except for Myung-Hoon, everyone had signed a contract with a magic-level summon with a green name tag.

“Thanks to Roxanne.”

“Train it well before the next door opens. “Because summons that are rare or higher have a high growth rate.”

“All right. “I have to go to the training ground right away.”

If you recall that Choi Myung-hoon had no summons in his previous life, the current situation was definitely incomparable to then.

“older brother.”

“huh?”

“I was just curious… what level is your dragon child?”

Myung-Hoon asked awkwardly.

Excluding Somin, he seemed curious as he obtained the highest level among the group that obtained summons in the red zone.

“well.”

Wow…!!

Namgung summoned Yongah.

The appearance of the snake, which was as small as the palm of one’s hand rather than its original gigantic size, was even cute.

[Crrrrr….]

However, when Yong-a was summoned, Jeokryeom, Myung-hoon’s summoned animal, stepped back, baring his teeth as if in warning.

At the unexpected reaction, Myung-Hoon urgently wrapped his arms around the summoned beast’s neck.

“There is none.”

“…yes?”

“There are no grades.”

Myung-Hoon looked at Yong-Ah with a puzzled expression at Namgung’s words.

Now that I think about it, there was no name tag on Yong-a’s head, which is where a normal summon would be.

“Because it’s not a summon created by the Aspects. “He must be against the rules of the carnival.”

“Wouldn’t that mean that there is no set growth rate?”

“Is that going to happen?”

Namgung said it casually, but Myung-hoon looked at Yong-ah and burst into laughter without realizing it.

“You hang out with your brother.”

Myung-Hoon had no choice but to admit that the gap was growing wider.

“I’m sorry for asking you all the time. “Please take care of the children.”

“Don’t worry. That’s my job. But does it take a long time?”

“well. It’s a place I don’t know much about… so I guess I’ll have to go there to find out. “It could take a long time, or it could just be a moment.”

“…?”

“Because you can’t fight empty-handed on the battlefield.”

Namgung said as he put Yongah in it.

“I’ll bring a new weapon.”

* * *

[Namgoong!!!!!]

Namgoong turned his head at the polite voice calling his name.

“Gyu-ryu?”

[Oh my, oh my! I’m really feeling rotten inside! It’s rotting!!!]

Gyu-ryu, who appeared with a messed up face, grabbed Namgung’s leg and shouted.

[What were you really thinking, fighting so many demons alone? I really could have died!]

“I think it was you who almost died, not me? “Why is your face shaped like that?”

[Ah… this? While trying to enter the sword temple, I was hit by the dragonmaws blocking the entrance.]

“…I’m proud of it.”

[So who fights demons so recklessly without a weapon? My heart trembles as I watch…!!]

“There were a lot of weapons that the demons were holding anyway. “I just had to pick them up and use them.”

[But still…]

“Thank you.”

[Yes?]

“Let’s go.”

For the second-ranked Gyu-ryu to enter the sword temple was no different from sacrificing their lives. Because it meant that he was willing to do something so dangerous for himself.

[Oh no, if you come in like that… let’s go together!]

Gyu-ryu, who was stuttering as if embarrassed by Namgung’s words, hurriedly followed after him.

[It was amazing. I saw you fighting through Sam. Did you use a chain?]

“It’s hard to say that I actually used it.”

Namgung answered Moo-hwi while fiddling with the chain wrapped around his wrist.

At Hyeollu Palace, where the head of the clan stayed, all the leaders representing the Yaksha clan as well as Hyeonryu, the first rank, were gathered.

It seems they were expecting Namgoong to find them.

“The only time the chain reacted was when I was fighting the Demon King. After that… to me, it was just a very strong rope.”

Slurp –

Namgung released the chain and swung it lightly.

[That one time is important. Sleeping forever is like being dead. Because waking up even for a moment means you are alive.]

Muhwi said meaningfully.

[Perhaps you have gotten closer to the secret of the chain.]

“But even so, you didn’t come to help me when I was on the verge of death.”

[Haha, I guess I only use it because the man is so stubborn.]

“It’s a pointless compliment, and I want to go to the sword temple. “Would you mind opening the door?”

Muhwi smiled sheepishly at Namgung’s merciless response.

[…impossible.]

“Why? As far as I know, if you have the head’s permission, you can go inside, right?”

[therefore. I mean, I can’t give you that approval.]

“It’s too much to do this to a lifesaver. “If it weren’t for the Titan Heart, you might have died?”

[It’s the same context. Since you saved my life, I want to save yours too. The head’s approval simply opens the door. Apart from that, if a human enters the Sword Temple…]

Mu-hwi spoke firmly.

[He dies.]

“….”

[….]

At his words, silence fell in the hall.

[ha ha ha! Father too!! Namgoong, are you a normal human being? Isn’t it because I’m confident in going to the sword shrine? Isn’t that right?]

“I’m not confident.”

[Coughing.]

“I only remember dying and coming back to life.”

[Oh, kinda…!!]

Gyu-ryu, who was trying to defuse the situation somehow, was busy panicking at Namgung’s answer.

[Have you tried going in?]

“Just enter the entrance.”

[That’s a strange thing… That means the approval of the Yaksha clan was given to a human… Who did that?]

“It wasn’t given.”

And Namgung said it as if it was obvious.

“I just went in.”

[…?!!]

Muhwi frowned at his words.

[No way! You can’t find the Sword Tomb without the head’s permission. That’s a bad joke. This is ridiculous.]

“I didn’t receive permission, but I heard the location. The Muhwi I knew was sad about two things until the moment he died. One is the inability to have a successor. And one more thing…”

Namgung glanced at Gyu-ryu, and Mu-hwi, who noticed the glance, hardened as if his true intentions were discovered.

“To save my daughter who has been trapped in the sword grave guarding the sword for her entire life.”

[…Daughter?]

[Did your father have a daughter?]

Roaring – Roaring –

At that moment, the hall became noisy.

“Unfortunately, you were already extinct and there were no children to succeed you, so the first one could not be accomplished.”

Even the elders inside, including Gyu-ryu and Hyeon-ryu, looked confused, as if they did not know what was happening.

“That may be why he revealed the secrets of his clan in the hope of saving his last remaining blood relatives. But that also ended with only a will left behind.”

[…Am I dead?]

“I’m alive now. “That’s enough.”

Namgung looked at Muhwi.

Yasha clan 0th rank Yeonhwa.

Gulp –

The sound of Muhwi’s uvula shaking was heard.

“The second time also failed. I, too, only briefly stepped foot into the entrance to the Tomb. “All I did was barely come back alive.”

[How can I do something that I failed back then….]

“I didn’t know then, but I know now.”

[…?]

“Children are stronger than their parents than we think.”

Muhwi was unable to respond to Namgung’s words.

“Trust me, we have the same father.”

Muhwi’s heart was shaken.
