Chapter 635 – Chapter 635 Yggdrasil (5)
To some extent, I was expecting it.
The water surface is also a place that is branded as an orange summoner, but there’s no way to get past the [Cerberus’s Eyeball].
But it’s been quiet until now, and suddenly why?
[Maybe it’s because the second floor is the residence of the dead, so there’s no concept of arbitration.]
‘Aha….’
Then I got it.
Neo Niflheim on the second floor was a place where only the dead could enter anyway.
What’s the use of a red summoner and an orange warning in a dead yard anyway?
Anyway, he licked his lips while watching midsummer writhing in pain.
‘Write… I’ll have to use it carefully from now on.’
It was a pity.
If I can use this item all the time, I’ll be able to sleep at will, not only in midsummer, but even in the middle of the summer.
However, I only felt regret, and there was no feeling of loss at all.
Even if you don’t become a Red Summoner as soon as you use it, this item still has infinite uses.
I sighed as I watched the moaning Midsummer.
“Then cooperate. You and I could have both become Red Summoners.”
“Big… My, why am I becoming a Red Summoner! You were the only one who was wrong!!”
“Could it be that when you ran into me, you were trying to get rid of a bug on your collar?”
“Awesome….”
If it hadn’t been stopped with [Cerberus’s Eyeball], It would have been an orange warning even in midsummer.
Well, a regressor won’t act after examining every single thing like that….
Min Ha-yeon and Han Bom grabbed both of my arms and started to add to my criticism.
“That’s right, midsummer. Now do it in moderation.”
“Does it seem like you lose your mind every time you go up a floor….”
“Ouch….”
Midsummer when no one comes forward to help.
And on the other hand, I feel the warmth of the two women as I cross my arms on either side.
It was a completely different treatment than when I was on the 0th floor.
But the other side is a regressor.
I needed to be nervous, nervous, constantly nervous, watching what he was doing and being careful.
I said while looking at Midsummer, who was sitting on the floor and bowing her head.
“Come on, get up. Store.”
..
..
Surprisingly, midsummer followed me without a word.
His actions made sense.
Apart from the hatred you harbor for me, you will have to follow me around in order to get revenge.
Above all, my skills would have been acknowledged even in midsummer.
If you follow me, you will get beans, and if you go through regression, you will think that you can aim for an opening.
‘I would like to prevent suicide, but… That won’t be easy.’
It would be convenient to use [Cerberus’s Eyeball] In a way that says not to commit suicide, but it was not possible to use it this time around.
If you go ahead with it when you’ve already received an orange warning, you won’t be able to win even if you become a RED Summoner.
That’s how the members and I continued to move along the flat, paved road.
And not long after….
“Wow….”
Everyone began to admire the city unfolding before their eyes.
A huge wall greeted us.
However, the walls were more sophisticated than grandeur.
Even though we hadn’t crossed the wall yet, we could already hear the voices of people inside the wall.
The voices of the people who captured the waves of joy and cheers….
Me and the members nervously approached the castle gate.
At the huge gate, a soldier armed with heavy armor began to look curiously at us as we approached.
When we arrived at the gate, the soldiers started whispering to each other with surprised expressions.
“Wow, how much does it cost people to come here?”
“I thought the summoning ceremony was over because it didn’t come so much….”
I thought I wouldn’t end up like an animal in a zoo at this rate, so I stepped forward and spoke to the soldiers myself.
“You can get in here, right?”
“You can go in. Just pay the toll.”
“… A toll?”
Crazy, taking tolls just for entering the city?
While climbing Yggdrasil, he had paid points in exchange for using facilities in the town or city, but this was the first time he had paid a toll like this.
But if that’s the rule, follow Yggdrasil’s rules.
“How old are you?”
“10,000 points.”
Fortunately, the entrance fee itself was not too expensive.
This was a level that could be enough to beat if you’ve been rolling around on the first floor.
“I’ll pay.”
“Great. 10,000 points….”
“No. I’ll pay for everything, even the people behind me.”
“… What?”
The soldier made a surprised expression, but quickly erased his expression and opened his mouth with a smile.
“A total of 70,000 points.”
I grabbed the soldier’s wrist and handed him the point.
After I handed over the points, Min Ha-yeon and Han Bom brushed me off from behind.
“Suho. There’s no need to overdo it in a place like this.”
“Right. Man, even if 10,000 points is small, if you pay alone….”
“It’s okay. Because this is no problem. Let’s go in.”
I reassured the two of them, and I started leading them all into the city.
The soldier opened the castle gate and opened his mouth with a fishy laugh.
“Welcome to Lattitia, the third-floor game city.”
“….”
The soldier greeted them verbally, but his face was not at all welcoming.
And the whispers of the soldiers looking at us proved it.
“Will I regret giving away points in a few days?”
“One week. He must be yelling at those girls to get his points back within a week?”
“Do you want to bet?”
“Good.”
As the soldiers whispered, Min Ha-yeon crossed my arms and began to calm me down.
“Suho, don’t worry.”
“I’m okay.”
I didn’t really pay attention to what the soldiers said.
However, the attitude of the soldiers was nerve-wracking.
It wasn’t an ordinary summoner, but the soldiers guarding the city said that.
‘… There were a lot of troublesome things on the 1st floor, but it looks like I’m having a hard time here too.’
Thinking so, I entered Letitia with the members.
And what we saw….
“Wow….”
The colorful city was welcoming us to the extent of erasing the emotions of seeing the colorful walls from the outside.
It was a place worthy of the title of a real amusement city.
But for that….
“Where do the cheers come from? . Why is no one there?”
There were hardly any people walking around inside the city.
At least there are soldiers who stand guard if they go around?
Obviously, the lack of people was bothering me, but I started checking the most important part first.
“Let’s start with the lodging.”
Yggdrasil eats less and can live without clothes.
However, I could never give up on the accommodation, which was basically a safe zone.
And we experienced it painfully during the battle for the first floor inn.
Hanbom reacted the most to my words and nodded her head.
“Hurry up and check it out!”
We started looking for an inn in line with the urgency of mid-spring.
And all the inns I found….
“100,000.”
“120,000.”
“150,000.”
…
It made our minds distraught by suggesting an absurd price.
And the last innkeeper’s offer was….
“Fifty thousand.”
Even though it’s absolutely not a reasonable price, it captivated our ears.
But aside from making it tempting….
“Hey, staying here….”
The place we stopped by was an old building that could hardly be described as an inn.
Not only Min Ha-yeon and the trio, but even I didn’t want to spend the night here.
Even Hanbom, who was staying at an inn on the outskirts during the inn scramble….
“Hey, this is… A little….”
Reluctantly, he frowned at her.
Seeing us like that, the innkeeper snorted at her and opened his mouth.
“70,000.”
“No, why are the prices going up!?”
“It’s my heart. If you don’t like it, you can go somewhere else.”
After saying that, the innkeeper began to stretch out, leaning against her counter chair.
Seeing the innkeeper’s already displeased look on her face, she seemed to be out of business here.
“Let’s leave at once.”
I led the members outside the inn and sighed.
“Now I understand why the soldiers said that.”
At least 50,000 for just one day… No, now I need 70,000 points.
It wasn’t even the cost of accommodation for all party members.
It was that you had to pay that much point for one room.
Min Ha-yeon heard me, nodded her head and opened her mouth.
“Only for the cost of lodging… What I earned on the first floor will soon be used up.”
At least, we had plenty of time because we had completely cleared the boss fight on the first floor.
Like most people, if the defense was finished halfway through, it would have been impossible to last even a few days here.
Hanbom opened her mouth as she looked at the shabby inn she had just come out of.
“I think it would be nice to have 3 or 4 people together for a while.”
“Okay. I wish I could.”
Not only me, but also Min Ha-yeon and the trio agreed with Hanbom’s words.
Anyway, even when our party was on the first floor, there were five or six people who stayed together.
Hanbom even lived like that for over a month….
After concluding that several people were staying in one room for a while, we started walking around Letitia again.
And looking around, I started to have a question.
“But where are the people?”
There are no people in the city
Even in broad daylight….
At least there was one thing that could be inferred.
“Maybe they’re hunting right now?”
Everyone agreed with my words and nodded.
“Right. First of all, because there is an income. It must be overcharged like that.”
“Then let’s find it.”
The best source of Yggdrasil we know of is one.
“Let’s find a dungeon for now.”
Everyone nodded at my words and started moving.
Finding the location of the dungeon was not difficult.
It was because when I asked the guards around the city, they answered right away.
“It is divided into West and East.”
“Can you tell me where is the right place for a beginner to go?”
“Are they both the same?”
“Thank you.”
I didn’t get a lot of information, but I left politely for what I was told.
The first place we headed was east.
It was because the last inn we stopped at was closer to the east.
Since the dungeon was outside the city, we went through the gate again.
As we passed through the gate, the soldiers looked at us and began whispering while tilting their heads.
“What? Do you think these guys are the first ones you’ve seen?”
“I wondered if the summoning ritual was over because I didn’t see any new guys these days….”
The whispered words were generally similar to the reactions of the soldiers receiving the toll.
Except for one thing….
“You don’t think you know?”
“If you knew, would you go out like that….”
“… ?”
Me and the members looked at each other and made our way out of the city without understanding what the soldiers were saying.
After leaving the eastern gate like that, what greeted us was none other than….
“… What’s this?”
The summoners, who were not seen at all in the city, were standing in a row.
And in front of those summoners….
“Is that a dungeon?”
There was a dungeon in the form of a cave.
Not just one or two, but several dungeons….
It looked like everyone was waiting in line to enter the dungeon.
Even if you wait like that to enter the dungeon….
“The person who entered now pays points to enter, right?”
“Yes… It seems so.”
As we looked around in bewilderment, a group of men who happened to spot us started approaching us.
Just look….
“I don’t think you’re here to be kind.”
As Min Ha-yeon said, there was no sign of kindness in the group of men.
Among the group that approached us, the one who seemed to be the leader spoke first.
“Are you guys new?”
“… Then?”
At my answer, the men looked at each other, smiled, and then talked to me.
“Looks like it’s my first time, so I don’t know, but since it’s my first time, I’ll kindly let you know.”
The man who seemed to be the leader opened his mouth, twitching his chin towards the long line of summoners in the dungeon.
“Do you know why those guys are waiting in line like that?”
“… ?”
“It’s because the dungeon is saturated.”
The number of people who can enter the dungeon is limited.
It was like there was nothing more to say about dungeons that even shared status.
In other words, since there are many people who want to enter the dungeon, it means that it is regulated.
By the way….
“Why are you paying points?”
This was the part I didn’t understand the most.
It was understandable that there were a lot of people waiting in line in the dungeon, but paying points to enter….
However, the answer of the guy who seemed to be the leader made me understand everything.
“That’s because this dungeon belongs to us.”
“….”
Again, there is no easy way to go.
In other words, the bragging guys in front of us were the ones pretending to be the owners of the dungeon.
I don’t understand it with common sense, but on the other hand, I could understand it by looking at the summoners standing for such a long time.
In other words, it was said that you had to pay points and earn points.
‘Ha… It’s annoying.’
[I think it would be better to avoid trouble for now.]
As Armonia said, if dungeons really existed, it would be a loss to have a fuss with these guys.
Seeing the friction with the innkeeper earlier, I thought it best to avoid it.
“Okay. I heard you Then we’re done….”
“For a moment.”
“… ?”
The guy who seemed to be the leader called me over and smiled at the members behind me.
“If you introduce those girls, I think you can give them a free pass.”
“….”
I didn’t think it was going to be that easy either.
And now there was no easy way in my head.
I glared at the man who was talking nonchalantly and let out a single voice.
“If you make fun of your mouth incorrectly, all the food you have eaten in your life may come out as a free pass.”
“… What?”
At my words, Min Ha-yeon and Han Bom, who were behind me, started giggling.
The man glared at me like he was mad and started to lower the mood.
“Ha… Isn’t that it?”
“… ?”
“There were plenty of cheeky bastards like you here, too. But do you know what happened to those guys?”
He opened his mouth with a chin at the summoners waiting in line to enter the dungeon.
“It’s all like that. It would be nice to have a bit of a joke.”
“Ah… Really?”
The man smiled in satisfaction at my words of anxiety.
And he responded with that smile.
“If those guys are giving you a free pass, I’d like to decline, right? Because I’m not gay like you.”
At my words, even the co-workers of the person who seemed to be the leader started giggling.
The man said in a trembling voice with his brow twitching while his face was flushed red.
“This bastard… I can’t seem to understand the situation now. Kill me right now….”
It was the moment when a man approached and threatened.
“Uh… What?”
Everyone involved in the trouble, including the man I had been arguing with, turned their heads toward the source of the voice.
There, a woman in a purple cloak looked at us and opened her mouth.
“My older sister and Hayeon’s older sister… ?”
“Uh… Who?”
“… No way?”
At Min Ha-yeon and Han Bom’s question, the woman removed the purple cloak that was covering her face, revealing her face.
And as soon as the woman’s face was revealed, the voices of Min Ha-yeon and Han Bom burst out at the same time.
“Mid-autumn!?”
It was the moment when Midsummer’s second sister appeared.
My wild instincts howled.
‘Temperament!!!!!!!!!’
At the same time, Kang Han Na’s voice mixed with lamentation was heard.
[Ha… Surely it wasn’t like that when we first met?]
[….]
