Chapter 750 – 750. Yggdrasil (6)
A total of 25 million points collected from Midsummer.
And the 5 million points I received from the profits I earned from yesterday’s dungeon.
And since I used the royal floor yesterday, the remaining points are approximately 10 million.
So all my wealth…
’40 million points.’
It was about 10 million points left after spending one night on the royal floor.
The moment I used the royal floor yesterday, I decided to set the standard for points as the royal floor.
1 Royal Tier = 30 million points.
Now this formula will be the reference point for my points.
For the time being, I have to focus on raising the members’ abilities, so I won’t have time to spare, but I thought I’d go as soon as the specs matched to a certain extent.
‘Next is Hannah. To expect.’
[… I will expect.]
It seems that the royal class really liked it.
I thought you would say something to save points…
I arrived at the Colosseum laughing at Kang Han Na’s answer.
Arriving at the Coliseum, the Hanbom team was getting ready to enter the waiting room and were being cheered on by the rest of the members.
And the Hanbom team went into the waiting room listening to me cheering when I finally arrived.
As I watched Hanbom enter the waiting room, Hangaeul next to her quietly whispered to me.
“Excuse me… I have something to say.”
“?”
In mid-autumn, not only me, but also Min Ha-yeon were invited to talk in a quiet place.
“There are things I couldn’t say because I was distracted by the story of the regression yesterday.”
The story Han Ga-eul told me was about the kidnapping that happened in the last episode.
Even if I already knew, why am I telling you this important fact now?
But at the same time, it was also understandable.
Until now, Han Ga-eul had mistaken her return as his own foreknowledge.
And she’s not the type to talk about it in the neighborhood…
Above all, mid-autumn had already prepared a countermeasure.
“Originally, I was planning to close the store for the time being, tipping it off to the unnies as if I saw Yeji tomorrow.”
In the first place, our party had a history of annihilating the Red Crescent Moon in the dungeon.
In mid-autumn, she thought that if she hid well in her comfort zone, she would somehow get a clue to her solution.
However…
“What about midsummer?”
Min Ha-yeon expressed her doubts.
As Min Ha-yeon said, mid-autumn’s countermeasures did not even include preventing midsummer’s kidnapping.
To Min Ha-yeon’s words, Han Ga-eul shrugged her shoulders and replied.
“Until yesterday, it was none of my business whether he was kidnapped or not. I didn’t know you were a regressor.”
“Haha…”
Even Min Ha-yeon put on a puzzled expression.
Han-gaeul had been abandoned by Han-yeoreum before returning, so she seemed to hate her more than before.
It was a remark that seemed irresponsible, but it was not a problem.
“I thought if it was Yeji, I wouldn’t have to worry about that guy. However… Wouldn’t the story be different if it was a regression?”
I had no idea that Mid-Autumn was a regression until yesterday.
If you consider this situation as foreknowledge, there is no problem with that action.
‘I was just about to move, but thanks to that, it’ll be easier to move.’
Although I came to the Colosseum like this, I was in a situation where I was wandering around today.
And thanks to mid-autumn…
“Then I will move first.”
I was able to get a reason to get out of the seat.
At my words, Min Ha-yeon and Han Ga-eul nodded their heads even though they were worried.
“Suho… You have to be really careful.”
“Be careful. The atmosphere may be different from when I was kidnapped.”
Mid-autumn’s worries were valid.
In the last episode, thanks to killing the guys who ambush us, Verden’s power was cut in half.
In contrast, Verden is currently in full force…
I smiled at the concerns of the two women.
“I don’t know if there are hostages… Don’t worry too much.”
After relieving the two of them, I left the Colosseum.
On the contrary, when I got out of the Colosseum, I felt sorry rather than anxious.
Hanbom would know that I am watching the game and cheering him on.
‘I’ll have to pretend I’ve heard and seen the game later.’
Thinking so, I headed for the labyrinth.
And I was able to arrive at the Red Crescent Moon Hideout, which is infested with Red Summoners.
‘It’s more crowded than yesterday.’
Even the red crescent moon, which was hidden in the labyrinth, had a difference in activity between day and night.
And the reason they were crowded wasn’t just because of the time of day.
While looking for Verden, he found a place where quite a few people gathered.
And at the center…
‘I was here.’
There was Verden.
Verden was giving his men a long speech about the plan for tomorrow.
“If you check what dungeons they enter, then…”
Listening to his story, I could see what kind of guys are gathered now.
‘These are the guys who were killed by our party in the last episode.’
They were the guys who had been ambush in the dungeon.
Verden gathered the guys together and was explaining the plan to execute the next day.
‘It’s not going to happen anyway…’
I had no particular intention of killing them.
That’s right, to weaken the power of the Red Crescent Moon, it’s reasonable to kill it.
But…
‘You said that if Verden dies, his subordinates will be transferred to other executives, right? Then it would be comfortable for Yang Ji-hyun to absorb it.’
I was thinking of focusing on raising Yang Ji-hyun’s position for a while.
The Red Summoners are beings that have been shunned by the world, but on the contrary, they have been precious to me.
There is no such thing as sin for them, and they are irreplaceable in a world where I can freely feed them my hypnotic art… Yes, they were like resources.
I hoped that if I could use it, it would be of great help to me in the future.
I waited while watching Verden give a long speech.
Verden, who had explained all the non-existent plans, finished his words and secretly called someone.
It was a man who seemed to be Verden’s direct subordinate.
‘Looks like he’s in a similar position to Boris.’
Verden called the man and spoke quietly so that no one else could hear.
“Go to Letitia and make contact with them. A route that allows you to safely move to the win or loss of the match, the meeting place, and the place. Check everything out.”
“I knew.”
The man nodded his head and hurriedly left.
‘Guys… ? It looks like there are only one or two people.’
With a look of anticipation on my face, I left Verden and followed the gang member to meet with an outsider.
A total of three guys appeared at the meeting place.
Everyone hid their identities, but to no avail.
‘Laurent, Lane, Porris.’
It’s impossible to hide your identity from the Temperament Window…
I checked the guys connected to the red crescent moon and started digging behind them.
They entered the dining room cautiously, took off their cloaks, sat down at a table, and began to talk.
Fun fact…
“After being quiet for a while, I got a job again.”
It was true that they weren’t normal summoners, let alone red summoners.
‘NPC?’
The beings we commonly call NPCs were the inhabitants of Yggdrasil.
“Recently, there were no new summoners, so making money was not good, but I’m very glad.”
“This time, let’s call for a larger amount…”
“That’s right. If you leave the work and go away again, it’s only our position that’s in trouble.”
“Good. 3 times the old… No, let’s call it 5 times.”
Everyone smiled at the idea of earning points and started making plans for commissions.
[But… It would be much better to join hands with these people than to join hands with ordinary summoners.]
As Kang Han-na said, unlike ordinary summoners, they were born here and have lived here their entire lives.
There was no need to share ill feelings with Red Summoner.
Most of the Red Summoners are beings who change as normal Summoners get into trouble.
After making a plan, the three dispersed.
But I didn’t bother to follow them.
The reason was simple.
‘Since the three of you said they’d be gathering here again, I’ll have to come back on time.’
Anyway, they decided to get back together.
If they shared their plans, there was no reason for me to follow them.
It is still broad daylight.
I could go to the Colosseum, but I didn’t bother going to the Colosseum.
‘Now then, shall we go see Yang Ji-hyeon again?’
It was the royal layer.
The reason I went to the royal class wasn’t just to waste the cost of the royal class or to have sex with Yang Ji-hyeon.
[… So you won’t?]
‘…’
I will, but…
First of all, that’s important, but there was a more important fact.
‘Besides that, I have something to ask Yang Ji-hyeon.’
[Are you going to ask?]
I nodded and answered.
‘I’m going to ask if it’s good to organize Verden’s men to what extent.’
As I thought before, if I kill all of Verden’s men, the crimson moon will be dealt a heavy blow.
If an organization operating in the shadows loses dozens of people at once, the building will stumble as if it has lost its pillars.
But ironically…
‘If I kill all of them, there could be a situation where Yang Ji-hyeon’s position as an executive officer increases.’
[But…]
As I said, it may have the effect of increasing the positions of executives.
A soldier loses his life in war, but a commander gains honor in war.
I headed to the hotel to directly ask Yang Ji-hyeon, an executive, if the crisis was good or if safety was good.
And the executive said as soon as I showed up…
“Oh, you are here!”
He ran out and greeted me.
Yang Ji-hyeon, who jumped from the second floor to the first floor, arrived in front of me in an instant, as if she were using the axis method.
Even though Yang Ji-hyun was naked, his face did not show any embarrassment.
Looking at Yang Ji-hyun like that, I felt a little guilty.
Now, at this moment, it was my turn to relieve that guilt.
“Did you eat? Room service here is free.”
“Oh, I didn’t eat.”
Yang Ji-hyun skipped breakfast and said he was waiting for me.
As much as he longed for a place like this, he must have looked forward to the meal as well.
But Yang Ji-hyun didn’t seem to want to eat something alone without me.
I probably didn’t even sleep well.
“Just eat alone.”
“Ha, but…”
“Next time I stop by, take care of yourself and eat well.”
“Ah… All right.”
Yang Ji-hyeon smiled brightly when she realized what I meant by saying that she might come again next time.
Seeing her cute and languid smile, she doubted whether this woman was really a member of the Red Summoners group.
‘As expected, capital is the best…’
In the end, most of the Red Summoners were like that because of the points.
After that, I ordered fancy room service and ate with Yang Ji-hyun.
Yang Ji-hyun never lost her smile while eating.
Perhaps she has never seen a place like this or food like this before.
At first, I was going to have a conversation while eating, but I decided to focus on her meal while looking at her Yang Ji-hyun.
After finishing the meal like that, I asked Yang Ji-hyeon straight-forward.
“I’ll take care of Verden today.”
“Ah…”
Yang Ji-hyun was suddenly taken aback by the absurd remark.
But she didn’t ask why.
I started asking her about the facts behind it.
“You want his men dead? Or would you like to live?”
“…”
Yang Ji-hyeon started looking at me with her eyes that contained her fear and respect.
Calculations and troubles.
Yang Ji-hyun started rolling her eyes as if everything was swirling in her head.
I left a word of magic that would ease her worries.
“I will do whatever you want.”
As soon as he heard my words, Jihyun Yang nodded her head with a firm expression.
“Living… I wish it was.”
Yang Ji-hyeon indirectly said that she should prioritize safety rather than crisis.
Organizational safety is not a priority. It was to prioritize my interests due to the safety of the organization.
“Good. And one more thing…”
I told you about an NPC that acts as Verden’s information network hiding in the city.
“Choose subordinates who can be discarded later and kill them.”
“All right.”
Yang Ji-hyun understood what I meant, but she answered without hesitation.
‘Big… I’m good at looking at women.’
So she delivered all her plans and orders to Yang Ji-hyeon.
“Because I will take care of everything on the Verden side. You keep quiet like you’re not involved for a while. Understand?”
“All right.”
“Then I will go out again.”
“Ah… That…”
Yang Ji-hyun, who had been giving a straight answer until just a moment ago, started to get restless when I tried to go out again.
My instincts urged me to mix Yang Ji-hyun and her flesh.
And…
‘Because there is still a lot of time left. I have to do it once.’
[…]
[…]
Faithful to that instinct, I dragged Yang Ji-hyun to the bed.
