Chapter 83 – #25. Temple of the Sea (2).

#25. Temple of the sea.

Lizardmen are female.
Looking closer, I’m sure.

His forked tongue flicked at the tip, his yellow eyes glowing.
It seemed that he was interested in the word request.

“Have you ever seen a blue pillar outside town?”
“A dangerous pillar that freezes to the touch? Of course I’ve seen it. When I was a newbie, I accidentally touched it and almost froze to death.”

The Lizard Man drew his line by separating himself from the newbie.
After all, he was just a poor player living on the first floor.

“I found out something about that pillar. Can you help me for a second? I will reward you well.”

Coin overflowing.
Even if we only rob a tenth of the coins we have, these bastards will nod in auto-call mode.

“Reward? What reward are you talking about?”
“Coin. 100,000 coins per person.”
“… Shirik-. You mean 100,000 coins?”

A light of doubt shone in the Lizardman’s eyes.
The amount of 100,000 coins instilled vigilance in them.
100,000 coins per person, so the coin we will pay is a whopping 400,000 coins.
It is strange to bite.

But it’s okay.
We have more than enough cash to pay the price.
It’s going to come back anyway, so it doesn’t matter if I just give it away.

Dahee Yoo took out four silver coins worth 100,000 coins from her inventory.
A silver coin with 100 engraved on it.
The eyes of the fairies shone with greed.

“I’ll give you half. If you do your job perfectly, I’ll give you the other half.”
“I will listen to what kind of request it is and think about it. Shirik.”

What do you think
If there was no danger to his life, it was no different from accepting the request.
The heads of Lizardmen and Fairies will be filled with thoughts of 100,000 coins.
Considering food, clothing, shelter and equipment management, this 100,000 coins is a good rain for them during a drought.

‘There’s no reason to refuse.’

It’s not that the request we’re entrusting is difficult.

“All you have to do is put your hand on the pillar at the exact time.”
“… Lives can be in danger. I’ve seen them freeze to death a few times.”
“It’s not dangerous. May I ask what your magic level is?”

Lizardmen and fairies looked at each other.
The academy tells you not to share your ability information with anyone.

“I am not interested in the detailed figures. Are you over level 10? That’s enough.”
“More than level 10.”
“Me too.”

All three fairies had magical powers of level 10 or higher.
Since the species is Fairy, it is natural.

I looked at the Lizardman.
Lizard Man shook his head.

“I am not. Then, will I not be able to accept requests?”
“I have no intention of being merciless. I’ll give you 100,000 coins for escorting one of the fairies. How is it?”

Lizardmen’s role has become much lighter.
He was afraid of freezing to death, but he didn’t have to touch the pillar, the lizard man was an auto-call.

“How do you believe?”
“You could die.”

The fairies were worried.
It’s a legitimate concern.
Because lives are at stake.
But it’s okay.

All you have to do is show it once.

“I’ll show you that there is nothing wrong with touching it. Please follow me.”

He led the Lizardmen and Fairies and headed for the Blue Pillar towards the Third City.
In terms of risk, this one is the most dangerous, so I’m thinking of attaching a Lizardman to the fairy in charge of this pillar.

I stood in front of the blue pillar.
A chill chill raised the blade at me.

“My magic level is 11. Even if that’s enough…”

I put my hand on the blue pillar.
The cold aura, as if freezing, disappeared without a trace.

“There is no damage.”

After touching the pillar for a while, the fairies murmured.
I was still scared.
Even if my instinct felt that my words were right, my reason defended my safety through a device called cowardice.

“500,000 coins for the first Fairy to show courage.”
“Hey hey hey!”

However, 500,000 coins was too large to be rejected.
One fairy instinctively raised her hand.
I hesitated in front of the pillar, wondering if I felt a little regret after carrying it.

Dahee Yu waved a silver coin with 500 on it.
Fairy’s eyes widened.

Being a good race doesn’t mean they don’t have greed.
I just don’t covet wealth to the point of intentionally causing harm to others.

“Heh, hehe!”

A fairy putting her hand on a blue pillar.

“Is everything okay?”
“Yes, four! So, are you giving me 500,000 coins? ?”
“Take it.”
“Hee hee! 500,000 coins… !”

Dahee Yoo handed over 500,000 coins to Fairy.
Faerie, who received the reward for courage, suddenly put 500,000 coins into her inventory.
In my ears, churl r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r leuk -! At the same time as the street sound, the number of coins in the inventory will be passed.

“You only need to have more than 10 magical powers. Everyone said they were over level 10, right? Then, if you touch the pillar at the designated time in each location, you get 100,000 coins. Just about 10 minutes.”

There was no reason to refuse any more.
The power of the 500,000 coins that were scattered was great.

“I’ll do it!”
“I will!”

Good choice.

“One fairy to remain on this pillar. It’s the most dangerous position, so please stay with the Lizardmen. The time is 2 hours later, and you are touching it for 10 minutes. Do you understand?”
“Yep!”

It feels like the fairy’s loyalty has risen considerably.

“Here, take 50,000 coins. I’ll give you another 50,000 coins later. OK?”

Each handed over 50,000 coins.
After dropping one fairy and one lizardman, we moved to the next blue pillar.

Drops one on the blue pillar between Second City and First City.
And drop another one near First City.

Now, if we go to the farthest pillar and wait, it’s over.

“Kim Jinwoo.”
“Why.”
“… How did you know that the blue pillar is fine as long as it has a magic level of 10 or higher?”
“… Persimmon? Feeling?”

Unlike now, the novel Yoo Da-hee grows very slowly.
There is no bizarre blessing for growth called ‘Blessing of Obsession’, and there is no training machine called Elena, so she often dies and returns repeatedly.

Each time the ability level changes, you touch the blue pillar. When the magic level is 9, it freezes, but when it is 10, it does not freeze.
Seeing that, Dahee Yu notices that the cut-off is magic level 10.

‘Because I can’t explain everything.’

I didn’t know the exact numbers, but the clues were almost there.
That’s why Dahee Yu didn’t bite too hard.

“If you think it’s similar to a game, wouldn’t 10 suit you rather than 9 or 11?”
“… I was noticing too. Don’t be condescending.”
“Ah, yes.”

Looking at the pouting Yoo Da-hee, I managed to resist bursting into laughter.
Why did you vomit
No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know why.

It just looks cute.

‘Mind reading… ?’

An all-around skill that allows you to look into Dahee Yoo’s thoughts.
I don’t have to worry about suffering alone.
But, what’s the use of finding out?

“Do you want to take a break for a while?”

We arrived at the clearing where the Sea Shrine was sealed.
Dahee Yoo, who had been walking in front of me like running, stopped.

I took a hamburger out of my inventory.
I bought it in First City, but it’s still hot thanks to the inventory.

Yu Da-hee looked at me with an absurd face.
‘Does that go down your throat?’, He seemed to be saying.

I offered a hamburger with a bite to it.

“Ruler.”
“What are you doing?”

Yu Da-hee, who had been pouting, took the thorn she had erected in a moment of panic.

For some reason, it looked like he wanted Yu Da-hee to share the meal with him.
Even in the previous episode, he bought more and tried to share with me while mixing saliva.

‘Do you want the feeling of sharing even a single bean?’

So I also served my hamburger.
Yu Da-hee’s face turned red.

‘Isn’t that how it feels?’

I think it’s kind of funny to be shy about sharing a bean.

“Huh. I don’t eat because I want to eat it, I eat it because you give it to me. Okay?”
“My arm hurts.”
“Ah Okay.”

When I urged her, Dahee Yoo took a big bite.

Wow-!

Maybe it was because he ate a lot, but he seemed satisfied.

As if she had forgotten her pouting, Dahee Yoo naturally took out a cola from her inventory.
Still one straw.

‘What?’

I really, really, really don’t understand.

“Isn’t your throat dry?”

Dahee Yoo didn’t even remove the straw she was sucking on and handed her a coke.
I thought there would be an uproar again if I brought up the straw, so I just shared the straw.

‘You kissed, kissed, sucked your breasts, sucked your pussy, didn’t you? It’s about a straw.’

Dahee Yoo also naturally drank Coke.
Now that I’ve let go of my anger, the short break has done its job.

We finished our snacks and headed towards the blue pillar.
His abilities increased, so he moved faster.
I didn’t hesitate because I knew the way.

Thanks to you, I was able to get there quickly.

Now, just leave one person here and go to the other pillars.
But before I go, there’s something I want to ask you.

“I have a question, can I ask?”
“Yes.”

Currently, Dahee Yoo seemed to be in a good mood.
From the willingness to answer, the expectation that my doubts would be answered welled up.

“Why were you upset earlier?”
“When did I?”
“When you asked about the cut line for the blue pillar, you got pouty.”
“Yes? I wasn’t really upset.”

Yu Da-hee’s expression was innocent.
It was shining like it wasn’t really swollen.

‘Is it my misunderstanding?’

Did I get beaten up once, and my eyeballs saw what I wanted?
Is this the confirmation bias we’ve only heard about?

‘I can’t figure it out…’

I think I’m going crazy.

“I’ll go at once. Because time is almost up.”
“See you later.”

Drop Yu Da-hee on the blue pillar.
And I made my way to the last remaining blue pillar.

Ran at top speed.
It was an explosive move.
His strength, which reached almost level 20, gave him a sense that he could never feel in his normal human days.

“Safe.”

Soon we arrived at the last blue pillar.
The chill was shaking and threatening me.

‘It’s not long.’

If you put your hand on it at the set time, the seal will be released.
The Sea Temple will appear, and elite monsters are waiting inside the temple.

The window he must have.
The trident must be taken away.

Divide the lake with an imitation trident to find the crystal ball, and Moses awakens his power through the crystal ball he found, then go up with the crystal ball and split the vast sea.

‘Then catch the 2nd floor boss monster and clear it quickly.’

You can move quickly from the 2nd floor to the 3rd floor without straining.
The second floor is actually worse than here, so it’s good for your mental health to go through it as quickly as possible.

T-D-D-D-DIC!
T-D-D-D-DIC!

The clock alarm rang.
The appointed time has come.

I quickly put my hand on the blue pole.
The chill disappeared and acknowledged my qualifications.

Koo Goo Goong -.

The ground vibrates greatly.
The blue energy shook violently and soared high into the sky.

PAZZZZUZU-!

Sparks bouncing wildly from the pillars.
I almost took my hand off without realizing it.

Coo gu geung-.

The vibration stopped.

“Ah-oh.”

Who gave up
Frightened by the spark, he withdrew his hand.

Ku-gu-gu-gu-!

Soon the ground trembles
It was thanks to him realizing that something was wrong and putting his hand on it again.

‘Yes, it should be like this.’

The description of the sealing being lifted is also detailed in the novel.

Pazuzu!

In the direction of the clearing where the temple of the sea will be, sparks are fired far away.
Sparks gather from the five pillars.
A huge magic circle decorates the dirt floor and emits intense light.

As if they were firmly determined, everyone was holding on well without taking their hands off.

Koo Goo Goong -.

The vibration started to subside.

A blue aura overflowed over the magic circle that emitted light.
The lines of the magic circle turned into powder and flew up to the sky.

Paschuk, Paschuk-!

The blue pillar, now an ordinary stone pillar, disappeared along with the magic circle.
I had fulfilled my role, so there was no reason to stay.

Squeeze-.

There is a waterway
Like a river, a waterway was created towards the clearing.
This waterway will become deeper and wider as it approaches the clearing.

I headed towards where Dahee Yu was.

“Kim Jinwoo!”

Fortunately, Dahee Yu was already on her way.

“The seal is broken. Let’s go towards the clearing.”

I led Dahee Yu and walked to the clearing.
Just as rivers converge in the sea, waterways converge in an empty lot to form a lake.

“Wow… Cool…”

Looking at the temple of the sea floating on the lake, Dahee Yoo exclaimed.
If it wasn’t for the ‘Tower of Struggle’, it would have been a spectacular sight that could have been handed down as a tourist destination.

“Keugh…”

When I went to the front of the temple of the sea, I felt a tremendous sense of intimidation.
Feeling of pressure.

“Jinwoo. There is something strange inside the temple.”

Inside the temple of the sea, the elite monster ‘Sea Dragon Stone Statue’ was glaring at us holding a trident.
