Chapter 245 – 245. Enter, Mormot

– Dripping.

The scenery of the science room, which is used as a workshop and research room, has hardly changed from previous visits.

Hwang Soo-min, still half clinging to a ladle and stirring the pot with a tired face, and Kessia, who was sweeping the floor with a bandage wrapped around a self-inflicted wound, came into view first. Both of them were doing their best in their respective roles.

Next, I saw Jeong Ji-yeon, an engineer who was squatting in a corner wearing a welding mask and assembling something, and Yoon Ha-joon, an alciid infection, tasting something with a spoon while boiling it. Both of them were making something with great concentration.

Finally, there was Keker, which was being used as a lab rat by Hellus. From Hwang Soo-min to Keker, they are crowded together in one place, so it seems that only those who are uniquely unique within the group have been gathered separately. How to say.. It feels like watching a crazy lab in a science sitcom.

‘It looks like some kind of Miskatonic graduate school lab…’

It’s like a collection of madmen from the Cthulhu mythos. Especially since everyone’s eyes are half dead, it feels that way. Those were the wet expressions of graduate students who had lost all their dreams and hopes. Isn’t that the expression of true slaves?

‘By the way, that bastard, Keker.. Why are you wearing so many things on your back…?

Keker opened his mouth and slapped something dripping, whether it was saliva or mucus. The eyes looking out the window were like a bear in a zoo longing for the wild.

“OMG!! Master!!!”

“Ugh. What.”

At that time, Keker, who had been blankly staring out the window without saying a word, found me. As soon as she saw me, she screamed and ran. Then, as she hugged me and spat on her, she spoke of the unfair situation she was in and the cruelty of the unacceptable reality.

“Master!! Listen!!! This! This and this too!! That crazy old man is doing strange experiments on me!! It hurts!! I’m dying of pain!!! I came in as a research assistant!! I came here as a sorcerer!!! Why are you using it for experimentation!! Shit!! The owner, stop that crazy inspiration!! I’m going to die like this!!”

“Hey, Mr. Lee. Spit fried!! Away! I can’t turn it off!! Dirty to death Oh, it’s sticky… Why is he so soggy?”

“Oops…! Lord, even the owner… Hehe…”

Keker collapsed on the floor like a tragic heroine and shed tears like chicken droppings. Then Hwang Soo-min, who was in the middle of making potions while stirring the ladle, smiled and spoke with a half-spirited face.

“Haha… You’re here…”

“Uh.. But you seem to get haggard every time I see you.”

“I see… Is it because I can’t sleep properly..? Haha… This week… I don’t think I’ve slept more than ten hours… Haha…”

“Huh… Shall I attach an Awoken slave?”

“Yes? I, really…?”

“Uh. But I am American.”

“Sah, it doesn’t matter.. I speak English.. I’ll teach you Korean… I need help.. Hellus, that crazy person never accepts normal people, so I think I’m going crazy..”

“Okay. Huh..”

I need to send Ella and Bella to the lab. Anna didn’t seem to have anything to do either, so I’ll have to send her here or something. It’s a waste of manpower to have people do chores like laundry and dishes when they are famous Awakeners.

Above all, the communication potion that I use the most is all made by Hwang Soo-min, so I need to help.

It was because he was completely enslaved to simple labor after he learned the recipe from Hellas, and if he left it as it was, he might commit suicide one day. Originally, it is because the mental pain of being an alienated worker is severe. I do not want a slave revolution.

“Hey, Yoon Ha-jun. What are you doing?”

“Ahaha… I’m boiling the baby..”

“Aha.. Is that so.”

Hajun Yoon was boiling Alcide larvae. I handed him a book.

“This…”

“Read it. It will help.”

What I handed to Ha-Jun Yoon is the doll maker’s diary. Reading this will enable him to awaken as a Stone Master.

I was looking for a worker who was not an Awakener, but had good hand dexterity and was good at his role… I think Hajun Yoon was perfect. Because he is the leader of the Al Cids and has a strong sense of responsibility.

Of course, Kessia and Keker could have become great stone masters after drinking the endless urge to increase their talent… Except Kessia has to follow me to become a ‘perfect creature’ soon, so we omitted Kessia because she has high combat power. In the first place, making fishmen and dolls didn’t go well together.

“Your former job… Can you give it to me?”

“Ok. Instead, I’ll become a doll maker with it… And go on a mission.”

“Dispatch..?”

“Yes… It’s called the Tremor Mansion…”

I told Yoon Ha-jun about the broken dolls in Jeon-yul’s house. If it was Yoon Ha-joon, who had changed his job as a stone master, wouldn’t he be able to fix everything by locking himself in a corner of the mansion? As if he had been silently boiling his baby Alcid larva all day long.

Yes, I think it would be possible if it was Yoon Ha-jun. Therefore, he intends to awaken Ha-jun Yoon as a stone master and send him in as the butler of the Jeon-yul mansion. Then he’ll fix the doll on his own.

He seems to be the kind of person who likes to make things by getting stuck somewhere. Because he’s a guy who doesn’t talk well unless you’re talking to him. Moreover, since he is not human, he does not have a very high sexual desire or appetite, so he was perfect. He’ll just have to let one more Al Cid infection in so he won’t be bored.

“Ho-oh, you’re here.”

“Ah, Hellus.”

At that time, Hellas, who was writing something in the private room, took off his glasses and came out. I shook his hand and talked about the Crown of Convergence.

“I see… That such a thing exists…”

“So I want to install it here. How is it?”

“I am good. May the master do as he wishes…”

“By the way, what’s that stuff you put on Hellus, Keker, etc…? I was crying and screaming and screaming I will die of pain.”

“Aha.. It was a little imitation of the slime jar I saw last time.”

“What?”

The story Hellas told was truly shocking.

“So… I was making Keker into a drug-receptor… Is that what you mean?”

“Yes. Due to the nature of the beast, there is little resistance to accepting something, so I was maximizing it. In order to be able to fully absorb the decomposing medicinal effect… Then, I thought I would be able to fully absorb the power of the drug without losing it and keep it in my body, so I was making a flexible and strong constitution… You brought a newspaper called This is… Fate.”

“Kyaa…”

How can your hands and feet fit so well? As expected, Hellas.. You were already preparing to use Keker in a similar way to what I thought. He is the only inspirational tank that I acknowledged. This man is also a great human being… Well, an alchemist who ruined his world for revenge.

“Then let’s experiment right away!”

“Heh heh heh. Great! I think I’ll change my body to a finished doll sooner or later… Before that, let’s have fun as a final experiment!!”

Hellas’ smile was that of a mad scientist. That’s probably me too. Because there is a strange connection with this old man.

“Compensation choice. Crown of Servant Convergence.”

I summoned the Coffin of Convergence in the corner of the science room. The coffin was a total of three cylinders, and it seemed that the objects that entered both sides were fused and came out through the middle tube.

“Heh heh. Go in! Keker!”

“Wait a minute!! Hate it!!! Master!! I’ll listen carefully!! Just because the medicine will fit!! Please save me!!!!”

“I’m not going to die, so hurry up!! Hold on!! Endure!! If you persevere, you can come out alive!!!”

“Kyaaaaa!! Nah!!!!”

– Knocked up.

We threw the struggling Keker into one of the cylindrical coffins. Meanwhile, Kessia, who was sweeping the floor, was terrified and had already run away. A quick-witted year…

“This is why a quick-witted guy is…”

“Hmm.. Is there any good fusion partner, Hellus?”

“Well… Hmm…”

Of course, Hwang Soo-min is not, and Yoon Ha-joon has just been assigned a new position. Jeong Ji-yeon is already doing the job. No, it would be a loss to use a human who is weaker than a beast in the first place as a fusion target.

We need someone other than human. I need a fusion target that is perfect for mixing with the beast Keker even though it is my slave. Mushroom Man? Parasitic tree? Or… A parasitic human?

“Yeah, that would be nice.”

“What.”

“I fuse the dragon blood something my master caught the other day with Keker…”

“Ah… Dragon Blood Knight… Aran…”

“Yes, that bastard.”

“Poem, it might fail… Isn’t it a waste?”

“Whoop whoop. Since ancient times, dragon blood has been a valuable catalyst and lab rat. I don’t know if Keker’s ego will remain… Or if the dragon blood knight’s ego will remain… But a great guy will be born.”

“Okay… Go ahead.”

A combination of amphibians and reptiles. Will the bullfrog Keker swallow the dragon blood knight… Or will Aran, a self-proclaimed dragon, take down the beast…

We laughed and summoned Aran, the Dragon Blood Knight.

Soon, without knowing anything, Aran was called to the science room.

“Huh? What. I came because there was a strong man… No, more than that, when will I be able to fight Palus again! Answer me!! He said he would fight!!! You liar bastard!!”

“Hehe… Wait, Aran. I’ll let you fight Palus. This is the last step before that.”

“What..? Last action…? Really? Finally… Can you finally fight to the death with that Palus…? I will definitely… Become stronger. He said that if he defeated Palus, he would be able to move on to a new world.”

“Okay. Because you did that Come on, take off all the clothes you are wearing. Get inside.”

“Now, wait… What is this barrel? Something… It smells dangerous…”

“Oh, that’s because it’s not like that.”

“That, more than that… I think I hear a scream… From the barrel over there…”

“Ah, I didn’t hear that well. It’s an illusion. An illusion.”

“My senses… Are infallible, but…”

“You really talk a lot. Do you want to fight Palus?

“It’s not like that, but…”

“Whoa.. I can get an accurate picture of your physical condition if you go in here. Before fighting you, Palus asked for information so that he could know for sure how far he was. Don’t you know how hard I really struggled in the middle to make a match between the sword and the dragon blood knight? Don’t you know?”

“Uh.. Is that so..? I’m sure.. I know you’ve been stuck in the abyss, but… I didn’t know you were working so hard for me. Thanks.”

“Hehe. Thank you. Come on, come in.”

“Okay. Do it Whoa haha! You will be able to fight Palus soon!!!”

Completely taken by my flattery, Aran entered the convergence coffin with a big smile.

How is this… I couldn’t get rid of the feeling that I was combining an idiot with an idiot.
