Chapter 21: 21

“You, come here.”

The night he saw Theradrone on TV, as soon as he entered the forest in dream, he let Beom play and find them.

He caught a guy who was walking around the creek, pretending not to know anything, and put it on the palm of his hand.

“I know everything you did today. Call the captain quickly.”

When he says captain, he means the largest knight, not the queen.

The boy nodded his forceps to show that he understood what he was saying.

When he put it on the floor, it ran eagerly and disappeared into a hole in the ground.

“…..”

Not long after.

Horns and tongs slid out of the hole in the ground.

Yoo Ji-Ha, who was watching him, looked into his black eyes and wiggled his fingers.

“You didn’t commit a crime, why are you doing that? Come out quickly.”

After hesitating for a while, the guy scrambled glancing around.

At times like this, it looks like a dog.

Yoo Ji-Ha looked at him closely.

It definitely looks alike compared with the Theradrone that came out of Mt. Jiri.

Except for the huge difference in sizes, the Theradrone of Mt. Jiri and the Theradrone in the dream were the same species.

“Come here, come here.”

When he tapped his palm, he spread his wings and jumped in.

Still, he secretly ignored his gaze.

‘Certainly intelligent.’

Yoo Ji-Ha placed the guy on the palm of his hand and showed the mountain he had drawn on the floor beforehand.

When he saw Mt. Jiri, a gesture of ‘What is that?’ was shown, but when Yoo Ji-Ha drew a fight between a monster and an insect, he retreated as if in shock.

“This is you, right? The insect that dragged his men to Mt. Jiri. I heard that the contaminated land was also cleansed, did you use my scroll to do it?”

It was after confirming that one of the scrolls of harmony had been torn.

The Theradrone Knight alternately looked at the painting and Yoo Ji-Ha face, then spread his wings and ran away.

‘You have nothing to say, so you’re running away.’

He’s an insect, so he can’t talk.

After waiting for a while, he came up with a large ether stone.

“Is it a bribe? I’m sorry, but-”

Yoo Ji-Ha, who was trying to refuse, was stunned when he saw the other Theradrones endlessly carrying Ether Stones and Essences.

How many are these?

Thousands were placed before him.

The Essence and Ether Stones were small in size, but when they were collected in this way, the entire forest was dyed golden.

“Are you giving me all this?”

nod nod.

Knight moved the tongs.

He tried to refuse the bribe, but this is not too much.

Yoo Ji-Ha smiled slightly and dragged only a little of the corner.

10 Ether Stones and 10 Essences.

“I will only take this. It was you who did the work. If I look at the amount you have collected, you must have done it because you needed this much, right?”

No, is that okay?

Knight grabbed more with his tongs and placed it at the foot of Yoo Ji-Ha, but he refused.

“Look, there are over 500 of you. Because there are so many numbers, you will need that many, right? And it would require a lot of energy to use power. All I did was write a few runewords? So, I ended up with this.”

These guys were sure to understand what Yoo Ji-Ha was saying.

Theradrone Knight turned back and rubbed his front feet, and his men entered the hole with the Ether Stones and Essences.

And the knight dedicated the largest ether stone to him.

Yoo Ji-Ha eyes widened.

“Where did you get this big? Oh, it looks like it came from the Elder Lich. Don’t you guys need it?”

The Knight coolly spread his wings and disappeared into a hole in the ground.

As a result, Yoo Ji-Ha was able to secure 20 ether stones and 15 essences.

He suddenly felt rich.

‘By the way, how do I handle this?’

It is an ether stone dropped by a disaster-grade monster.

He’ll have to look for the price, but it was definitely more than billions of won.

A stone the size of a walnut was shining golden in the palm of his hand.

But Beom, who was playing alone, came and his eyes lit up.

“Huh? Why? Do you want to play with this?”

wow.

Why is he looking at the Ether Stone while crying bitterly?

Why is the guy who hasn’t even looked at it until now acting like this?

When Yoo Ji-Ha’s ether stone was presented to him, he bit it in his mouth and chewed it.

“Ugh.”

It is the first time in his life to see that an animal chews an ether stone.

The boy licked his tongue and swallowed it completely, with a satisfied expression on his face.

Then he climbed up to Yoo Ji-Ha’s thighs, curled up and fell asleep at once.

“Oh my.”

He thought he was just playing with it but chewing and eating it is absurd.

‘Is it using it as an energy source?’

Yoo Ji-Ha guessed that Beom was a natural god or a powerful being equivalent to that.

Now that he is out of the crisis of death, it may be in the process of hoarding his strength.

Well, the Theradrones also took the ether stone.

Did they collect it to eat it?

Yoo Ji-Ha took out another ether stone and bit it but realized it was only his tooth that hurts and puts it back in.

‘I have 15 more essences.’

After much consideration, he raised his strength.

‘Then the strength is 9 and the endurance is 8.’

Looking through his backpack, there were 19 ether stones, including today’s.

With a satisfied face, Ji-Ha opened the book carefully so as not to wake Beom.

***

Yoo Ji-Ha received a call from the management center after a long time.

—This time, we are recruiting latecomers. Because it is an unprecedentedly large dungeon, we are selecting people with a lot of experience and knowledge. Yes. It’s in front of the fountain.

“Thank you. I’ll go. See you.”

The call ended and Yoo Ji-Ha readied to enter the dungeon.

Because they enter after all the monsters have been dealt with, there is no need for potions and scrolls, which are essential for hunters.

What’s important are the tools and vitality potions.

Strong tools and high endurance are needed to gather resources and materials while walking around the dungeon.

In the case of Yoo Ji-Ha, there was a high probability of being selected because he had a lot of knowledge, even though he had nothing much physically.

‘It means that people like me are also useful.’

Beom whined next to him, and Yoo Ji-Ha thought about whether to put him in a backpack and take him.

First of all, its existence is known, but…

‘It’ll be fine because there are no specific rules.’

After putting all the tools in and tapping the backpack, he slipped inside and only sticking out his head.

Finally, he put the vitality potions on his belt and finished the preparations.

After eating, he went to the fountain in District 6, and there were quite a lot of people gathered.

When it comes to latecomers, one hunter will guide them in preparation, but it seems that due to a lot of people, so there are two hunters.

“Come on, get in line, if you move freely, you can get excluded!”

“Hey Uncle, you’ve been going back and forth ever since, I’m giving you a warning!”

“Again, don’t try to hide anything from your body.”

Hunters and ordinary people are different in these places.

Those who have the authority to control and those who need to be controlled.

Hunters were the only ones who could enter the dungeon and deal with the monsters, so it was inevitable.

An employee of the management center came out and explained to the people things to be aware of.

All of them are people who have been in and out of the dungeon for many years, but there are cases where they forgot later, so this is to inform them in advance.

“and… well… Yoo Ji-Ha?”

Unexpectedly, the woman walking around to check the number of people was an acquaintance of Yoo Ji-Ha.

The person who received his information when he awakened as a worker and went to the management center.

She said her greeting and passed by.

Her eyes seemed to say, “You are still here.”

“Can’t help it because I don’t have the ability.”

He had some extraordinary things, but he wasn’t strong himself.

A body and abilities that are comparable to those of ordinary people.

But Yoo Ji-Ha is not disappointed.

‘Do what I can.’

As he was trying to be quiet, an old man next to him spoke.

“It’s been a while, Yoo Ji-Ha. You came in at just the right time.”

“Ah, it’s been a while, uncle.”

It was Mr. Cho in his 40s who he got acquainted with while going in and out of the dungeon together.

He joked hard about how happy he was to have this opportunity.

“As you know, this dungeon is huge. There will be quite a few things that will fall for people like us. Do you know if there will be even one artifact?”

“Even if an artifact comes out, it wouldn’t come to us, right?”

“Ah, that’s not it. There are miscellaneous things that even hunters don’t take because it’s annoying. Things below general? Don’t you remember the last time Jang got a rune shield? In the end, the most important thing is your connections.”

“Well, that’s true.”

Wherever they go, connections are important.

But suddenly, people’s eyes were drawn to the gate.

Seo HyeJin finished the quest and came out of the dungeon.

From her lofty figure and elegant appearance, she exudes an aura that cannot be seen in ordinary people.

“Did she break the quest alone again this time?”

“The people who went in with her are also at the top level, but they just watched completely.”

“She’s been a pair with Han SeungHyuk, so who would dare to go with her with that skill?”

“She is a ranked 12th, but everyone treats her as a single number ranker.”

“By the way, she’s really pretty… Even when she’s dressed in armor like that, she still shines. She’s shining.”

Everyone was talking and busy spying on HyeJin’s appearance.

Clearly, Single Numbers rankers exudes a slightly different atmosphere from others, and HyeJin was no exception.

Han SeungHyuk was also said to be a very handsome man, and Cha HwaYeon had red hair that seemed to burn.

It’s unbelievable that she’s a native Korean and she has red hair, but it’s the reality.

When Seo HyeJin was about to pass by, Yoo Ji-Ha was silently pretending not to know her.

But she found him.

“Are you going into the latecomer group?”

“This time I got a call.”

This person originally went into the dungeon as a latecomer.

Strange things happened around him and she forgot about it for a while.

HyeJin thought for a moment and spoke.

“Can I help?”

“What? How?”

“If you enter the dungeon with me, you will be able to move freely until it closes. I have that much authority.”

That’s because she’s a single number.

They inherited abilities from their parents and developed them stronger.

The government gave them considerable authority after naming the 1st to 9th places, which were tantamount to saving the country.

They even had immunity, so they were like aristocrats of the present day.

“Wow, I’m envious…”

“Seo HyeJin as an escort, what kind of connections do you have?”

“Wasn’t that person a hunter with nothing?”

There was talk of envy among people.

But Yoo Ji-Ha rejected her offer.

“It’s fine. I only go in to gather materials.”

“But there are just-in-case things, so I’ll follow suit.”

“You just came out. You must be tired.”

“This is nothing.”

She suddenly stood next to Yoo Ji-Ha.

She was ready to follow to the dungeon.

The two hunters who act as guides had a conversation and tried to hand over authority to HyeJin, but she shook her head.

“No need to worry.”

When he felt Beom wriggling in his backpack, he turned his back to show HyeJin.

A gentle smile crept across her lips as the gray-haired cat slipped into of her face.

“Cute. You’re eating something good. You gained a lot of weight.”

“Of course. He eats pretty expensive ones.”

For example, an ether stone worth billions of won.

“Give me the front paw. Yes? Don’t like it? Why?”

Beom tapped HyeJin’s finger with his front foot.

He’s really like iron wall.

“He hated having his front paws gripped. If I give him a snack, he reluctantly allows it for a while.”

“He’s a good guy.”

Mr. Cho doubted his ears when he heard the conversation between the two of them right next to him.

The Sword Witch’s fame was well known to him.

As he lives, he felt like he’s going through all sorts of things.

Before long, the leader began to enter the dungeon.
