197 – Why is it there?

After finishing the call, Yeon-hee pulled out the map app again and lay down next to me.

“How is this place? It’s located in the center of the most central dungeons in C- and B-grade dungeons in the future.”

Nod-

It would be nice to have a house close to the company. The dungeon was our place of work, so we had no choice but to prioritize distance.

Another reason was that the closer to the dungeon, the more expensive the rent in the commercial district, but the cheaper the price in the residential district.

No one wants to live near a dungeon where monsters can burst out at any time.

Awakeners are less worried about that, so naturally, the closer you get to the dungeon, the higher the distribution of hunters.

This neighborhood was like that, and the reason why there are so many villains is probably because there are a lot of hunters… Wait, then doesn’t it get worse when you move?

‘No… I have to throw away the premise that there are many bad people among hunters…’

Anyway, while we were looking around the candidate area that Yeonhee liked from the street view together, a text message came flying in.

It was No Ha-yoon. Yeon-hee didn’t open the chat right away, but after a while, she read the message.

“Um… The person coming with me is… Quite old, isn’t it?”

Bae Joo-ah asked Ha-yoon Noh to bring one more person, and it was information about that additional person.

‘Where…’

Looking at the face value of the photo on the phone screen, he was at least over 40 years old.

‘Looks like a helper. If you think it’s your first try, it won’t be bad.’

Thinking of Ha-yun Noh, who put many orcs out of action at once with a wide-area attack, did he dare to have a helper on the first basement floor? I thought it was, but there must be some circumstances.

In the first place, it was strange that someone who had already entered Nargul’s dungeon when we first met was still in Class D. Especially when you consider her talent. There is even a helper like that, so why are you holding out here?

‘It’s a face I’ve never seen before. If it was a hunter exclusive to the Vision Guild, I wouldn’t have seen it.’

From the outside, it looks like a melee type, but there are many wizards pretending to be physical, so it was unknown until I actually saw them fighting.

But he knew that, and it was Hayun who sent the basic information along with him.

“It is a paladin class that uses swords and is generally well-balanced. It is versatile and does not fall out much no matter where it is put out, so it will be useful for dungeon exploration… I heard that?”

There was no reversal that was different from his appearance. A melee warrior who supports Noh Ha-yoon from the front so that he can do his best. It seems to be fighting mainly with shields. I didn’t really need more melee, but it wouldn’t matter.

Besides, if it’s a paladin, it’s a class with the highest level of countermeasures against the undead, so it’s going to be very easy… Actually, I didn’t want this much, but I was a bit dissatisfied.

‘It takes a little bit of hard work to grow up, but isn’t the witch pampering her youngest daughter too much?’

As I was grumbling inside, Yeon-hee took a light breath and said.

“Whew… It hasn’t been long, but there’s been so much going on in the meantime… Mr. Ha Yoon, it feels like I haven’t seen you in a very long time.”

“Clack!”

“Heh… Ah! Well then, I’ll go to bed.”

At 12:00, Yeon-hee wakes up as if she had remembered an urgent appointment. The place he stood up and headed was, of course, his room.

After turning around once, Yeon-hee sent a silent gaze, but today she will not go into her room.

Although there was a calculation that I would give a little bit of variation every day and make it unpredictable.

Rather than that, I wanted to organize my thoughts about the ‘crystal tainted with malice’ sleeping in the inventory. It must have been as valuable as an ordinary crystal.

‘Hmm… Is this the only one?’

Suddenly, I had an idea. This neighborhood was located not too far from the district where dungeons were concentrated, so it was a neighborhood where there were many cheap studios, so to speak, people without people.

What would be gained by installing a prop like this in this neighborhood? Since it was installed in a place where people do not come, it must not be to absorb life force.

In the end, they said they were planning to do something after storing the mana floating around in the air.

‘I can’t do anything great with this one…’

According to my imaginative assumption, even if the crystals are connected to different storage spaces, there will be limits to what one can do.

At best, it would be an explosion that would blow up a church. Of course, if it’s a big deal, it’s a big deal. Because the world won’t be turned upside down by an accident on the scale of a gas explosion.

‘Hmm… It’s not always used for bursting, right?’

From noble mtl dot com

Crystals, which play the role of power plants in real life, have endless uses for other purposes.

First of all, it can be used to make equipment, just like the Orb of Yeonhui was made last time. A villain gathering energy to enhance his weapon? A pretty plausible idea.

Even if you collect 10 pieces, you will be able to craft equipment of considerable quality.

‘This… Should I look around?’

There was nothing to lose. It’s like being stuck at home all the time. Wouldn’t it be okay to go around patrol for about 30 minutes?

However, since this town was already within my range and there was nothing more to look at, I needed to go further, and to do so, I needed something.

Smart-

– Hit…!

When I knocked on the door with the orn lying on the floor, Yeon-hee hid herself in the corner of the room and stared intently at me entering.

Isn’t it time to stop reacting like that? Do you have a reluctance to face unpredictable situations?

“Clack!”

“Huh?”

Her spirit Ran, which was placed in her hand, approached her and conveyed her intention.

It was still cold. It was a deep night past midnight. Yeon-hee came out into the living room wearing a thick long padded jacket.

‘It’s cute even if you cover it up…’

“hehehe… Where are we going?”

Yeon-hee smiled and asked with her eyes twinkling.

After I stroked her hair once, I focused my attention on the thorns that were tightly embedded in my body.

‘Huh-!’

Then the thorns that had been spreading all over my body in a mess began to gather toward my heels. It was still difficult to completely hide them, but it became possible to gather them in one place.

“Wow, it’s cool! But trying to fight with it?”

“Crack!”

It’s a bit difficult to fight with this no matter how much I am. I just concentrated on putting them together, so they were long and I had no idea where they were hanging.

After disposing of the thorn, she spread her arms toward Yeon-hee. Then, hesitantly, she came closer to me step by step and gently leaned her body against her chest.

I held her tightly with my open arms and put Yeon-hee’s arm on my shoulder.

Facing my ugly face right in front of her nose, she rather touched my face with her eyes shining brightly.

I threw her body straight through her window while holding her.

“Wow!”

This was the first time I flew with Yeon-hee in my arms.

It was a pity that the view was not so good today because it was cloudy all day.

Next time, I plan to watch her timing and have time with her outside and swim in the air together under the clear sky. It will be an experience no one else can provide. Heh…

Whiik- Seeeaek-

“Hugh…! Joe, slow down a bit…”

Ah, I adjusted this as well. From Yeonhee’s point of view, it must have been too fast.

I adjusted the flying speed as weakly as possible and increased the distance to the east. There was no particular reason to head east. Just a feeling

“Waaah-! hahahahaha-!”

At first, I couldn’t even open my eyes properly because I was scared, but after a few minutes, I was holding him tightly in my arms and enjoying the changed view.

I was hugging her quite tightly in case she would fall, but I was worried that her voluptuous breasts would be too oppressive for me to feel stuffy.

But she didn’t feel that way, so she turned her head from side to side and was intent on admiring the scenery.

And while looking at Yeon-hee, I focused on the wavelength of the senses and continued my search mainly for old buildings.

It must have been about 10 minutes. When I flew to a point about 1km away from my house, I suddenly felt an aura close to a sense of déjà vu. A sense of incongruity that I had experienced once.

‘Uh… Why is that thing here?’

Perhaps it was interrupted during construction, but there was something with a familiar shape on the first basement floor of a building with only the frame clumsily going up to the 5th floor.

‘Ummm… Damn, those guys are kinda…’

There were as many as two ‘teeth’ monsters that killed me during the dungeon break in the basement. With the ‘ancient crystal stained with malice’ in the center, they stood still as if time had stopped.

The distance to them is about 100 meters now. I landed on the roof of a nearby building overlooking the building they were in, and quickly wrapped my cape around Yeonhee and me.

The aura of magic and senses subtly spread through the cloak.

“Heh… Warm…”

Yeon-hee hugged me a little closer with that energy that contained a little warmth.

Since I landed on the ground, I don’t think I’ll have to stick too close, but Yeon-hee doesn’t seem to have any intention of breaking away from me. If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be okay if I greeted you warmly when I entered the room?

(Lan. There is a powerful monster underground. The number is two. It is the one who devoured my head in the dungeon break with the old spear.)

(Oops, you’re not going to go in with the master, are you?)

Before Ran conveyed my words to Yeonhee, she first worried about safety. Of course I want to go in alone, but Yeon-hee can’t let me do that.

“What?! Then two of those ridiculous monsters?”

Yes. It’s two. The guy I finally caught after being eaten by him and self-destructing.

Of course, the difference between my fighting power then and now was incomparably greater, but the fighting power of the two guys underground was still at the top of the C-class.

To put it simply, you can think of two Tania who turned into werewolves. There is no answer.

Even if you approached in stealth and hit [Stagnation] With bombs and fireballs first, they were basically Chimera mixed with powerful monsters, so they were extremely strong, so it was highly likely that it would end up being a 2:1 fight.

‘… If we join forces with the summoned beasts…’

The problem is that the other summons tend to get a little flustered if they get out of Yeonhui’s sight. That’s why it’s advantageous for them to be with Yeon-hee if they want to exert their strength. That.

‘It’s not dangerous. There shouldn’t be even the slightest chance that Yeon-hee gets hurt…’

But Yeonhee rolled up her arms and was already in a hurry to prepare for battle. Seeing the determination in their eyes, it seemed that they had no choice but to fight together.
