72 – What is it for?

Kooung- Kung-

While moving towards the detected target point, a loud roar constantly shakes the inside of the marsh. I turned my head to the left, the source of the vibration, and in the distance, I saw a scaled leg several times thicker than my torso, vigorously moving in the marsh.

Lizardman Champion.

He had a body twice as large as that of a normal Lizardman, and his physical strength did not drop no matter how much he was beaten, so he was nicknamed the Marsh Zombie.

Unlike normal lizardmen, they swiftly catch hunters with the webbing on their wide grips and pull them into the wetlands.

Maybe he gets additional positive effects like a boss, or it’s because he’s much more agile and stronger in the marsh.

But now, the Hunters’ prepared ranged attacks are pouring in, and they’re just defending themselves helplessly.

His thin, piercing screams constantly kept me on edge, but he assured me there was no chance of finding me slithering on the marsh floor.

‘At this point.’

Ugh-

I shaped my magical power like a shovel and started digging into the mud with both hands. It was insignificant compared to Wang Wangi, but it was enough to roughly scatter the mud piled up on top of the door.

Papapak- Papak- Seokseok-

Kakang-!

‘It’s done.’

The magical shovel and the iron door collided, making a dull metal sound.

Kulleong – Fu Chemistryㅡ

Then a huge air pocket rose from within, and then something pulled me in and sucked me into the door in an instant.

‘It feels similar to when I was summoned by Yeon-hee.’

Feeling a strange sense of déjà vu, I immediately fell onto the cold stone floor.

Tadak-

Then the ceiling door I entered closed again by itself.

Jerky-!

‘Oochacha- Shall we go?’

When I first came, I remember wandering in my place for a long time with extreme tension and confusion, but not this time.

A long corridor about 3m wide was lined up in front of me, and when I looked back, I saw something huge like a black hole twisting around and whirling like a whirlpool.

‘There is no difference in composition.’

Talk- Tap-

Wanting to see if the same message as before popped up, I approached the black hole.

– This object is not allowed access.

‘This is the same.’

I tried to put my hand on it just in case, but it was sucked in without any resistance and only bounced back with a strong recoil.

‘There’s no need to hold on to something you can’t do.’

I immediately turned around and walked forward.

Tak-tak-tak-tak-

After running about 50m down the plain, featureless hallway, I finally arrived at another door. Without hesitation, I grabbed the horizontally long handle and turned it.

Clap-

When I opened the black door I had seen before and went inside, I was greeted by a cold gray space without any decorations.

However, in the center of the room there was a stone structure resembling a circular table, and on top of it was placed an object with a soft light in a hollow.

‘It’s different…’

As far as I remember, there was only one cloak spread out in this place during my lifetime, but now there is a fairly large pot.

The first artifact obtained, a reddish jar similar to the one that contained Goose Powell’s necklace.

The wide entrance was slightly different in appearance, but the distinctive bloody color implied that it belonged to the same producer.

Hug-!

I opened the brown lid and took out two items contained inside.

A thick black cloak with familiar colors and a kettle with a glass spout curved like a swan…

‘Huh? Kettle? It’s the first time I’ve seen anything like this.’

At least among the artifacts I am aware of, there was no teapot shape.

Hmm- It’s a kettle…

What I was thinking about was not finding an artifact with a shape I hadn’t seen before.

Rather than that, I knew that the development was slightly different from what I had experienced in my lifetime, but I thought it was a small change in location, but I was surprised that the components of the artifact were added at all.

‘Is this the change in the singularity that Jo Ki-man always talked about?’

Anyway, it didn’t change for the worse for me, so I happily read the description of the artifact.

Water Jug of an Ancient Forgotten Empire

– An unfortunate invention that was made for the purpose of supplying it to the imperial family, but was not promoted in the end.

– It is connected to Katarin Lake, which is said to be the clearest and cleanest in the empire.

··········?

‘What bullsh*t is this?’

I was genuinely curious, so I picked up the kettle and shook it around. However, since it was one piece without a lid and was completely empty, there was no sound whatsoever.

‘Anyway, since it’s an artifact, it could be sold, but is it completely useless? The cloak at least has a function.’

There was no reaction even when I tried to pour magic power, so I was just going to put it in my inventory, but I suddenly thought of one thing and focused my senses on the kettle.

As the intangible and colorless waves were bent and wrapped around the kettle, the translucent glass suddenly became transparent and water poured from the mouth of the kettle.

Chwaaagh!

“Clack!!”

‘f*ck the kid!’

Stunned, I set the kettle upright and then tilted it again.

Quarantly gurgling-

It was water. I can’t taste it, but this is water.

‘Wow! An artifact that can supply the water of another world?! You’re sick! Did you know you could say that! Hey!’

Tengrang ㅡ!

I threw the pitcher on the round table.

‘It’s useless to me at all. You can put as much water in your inventory as you want.’

Of course, it was by my standards of having a near-infinite inventory space, and in fact, it was an artifact that would be useful to other hunters.

It’s too wasteful to use the limited space to carry a lot of water in the inventory. The top hunters who explored the dungeon for days or weeks had their mouths watering.

‘Is it really necessary to think only of the Hunter Market?’

Or sell to water scarce countries in Africa? If you appeal to rich people as water from another world, you might be able to sell it at a high price…

‘Keuheum- I can get a better price than I thought.’

Sug-

I picked up the kettle I threw away and wiped it with my cloak.

Podeuk Bodeuk-

Artifacts are so hard that they don’t break even if you hit them as hard as most high-ranking hunters can. It was thrown with a loud noise, but the surface of the kettle, which was not even scratched, was glossy.

I don’t know how an item that wasn’t even presented to the imperial family at the time it was made could have such strength, but it was true.

And I don’t know why it only responds to sensory abilities, but the fact that there are restrictions on its use was a point worth raising in many ways.

‘Let’s see, I’ll have to feed Wang Wangi first. No, that bastard is an omnivore who eats everything, so Helen or Jinkyung first…’

Even though the water was clean back then, it’s unknown whether it’s still the case today, so we’ll have to do a safety test.

And another one.

Army Cloak of the Forgotten Realms

– A cloak that allows you to glide and was painstakingly developed by the court engineers of the Kingdom of Tanemoro.

– When you jump with only your own strength, additional effects occur depending on the height.

Stage 1: Perception suppression magic is activated for 10 minutes after gliding begins.

Step 2: ???

Step 3: ???

‘hehehehe, I finally got this fun item.’

A cloak that allows you to glide through the sky for a while when you jump into the air and use it. Of course, you can’t fly higher than the starting point, but it was an artifact that I used often for a change of mood in my life.

It has an amazing feature that when you put it on your back, it automatically ties itself into a knot, just like in a hero movie.

It is said that there is an additional effect as much as I jumped high into the sky, but I raised my stats mainly on sense and agility in my life, so I could only use the first level. It was the same until the moment he became a senior hunter.

‘The number of lectures was drawn up to three levels at once…’

When I was briefly trapped in a maze-type dungeon, I used a cape to escape with my party members.

When I heard the news, Kang-soo showed interest in her and I had no choice but to borrow her for a short while.

He offered me a large amount of cash to sell it to him, but I didn’t.

Even though I was greedy for money at the time, strangely I didn’t want to hand over the artifact to anyone. When I think about it now, it was childish grumpiness.

Even now, people say that they can sell kettles at a high price, but in fact, I have not had the slightest desire to sell them.

Still, I always grumbled, but if it was a lecturer who secretly took care of me, I would have passed it on… Maybe I was jealous of her talent, which is said to be one of the top five body enhancement hunters.

‘Oh, you bastard… Why didn’t you just give it to Yeonsu?’

In the end, he was killed by Jo Ki-man, and it was a pitiful thing to end up dedicating all the artifacts.

‘Come to think of it, wouldn’t that bastard dug a trap for my artifact? Wow… I’m pissed just thinking about it again!’

[Calm]

Whoa…

I shook off my thoughts and scanned every nook and cranny of the room with the waves of my senses.

‘Let’s see… Hmm… As expected, nothing else.’

From noble mtl dot com

I suddenly thought that having only two artifacts in this large room was very inefficient.

As I put the artifact in my inventory, a plate-shaped block of stone came down from the ceiling and sat there.

After stepping on the boulder, it rose again to the ceiling. Is it like an ancient elevator? It seems that people think the same even in different worlds.

After climbing for a while, I looked around. It was like being in a forest, some distance from the lizard marsh.

Support Support –

As if the distance from Yeonhee was close to the limit, her body was naturally being pulled in one direction.

After moving a few steps in that direction, I saw a battlefield where a battle between Lizardmen and Hunters was taking place. A position where the ground is slightly higher than the wetland, and you can look down on the place where the battle is taking place from above.

‘Looks like nothing happened. Good. If you raise this…’
