Chapter 898 – 898. City of the Ring
Travel is always fun.
That’s what the ship family I live with must feel more desperately than I do.
No matter how comfortable the ship was, how good the facilities were, and how vast it was, it was still a limited space.
If you are not familiar with and not fond of controlled facilities like Kang Han-na, life on a ship has a structure that is perfect for causing homesickness.
So, whenever I had time, I always tried to take everyone outside.
As always, preventing bad things before they happen is our top priority.
My family and I returned to the ship after our vacation trip.
“It was so much fun!”
“Me too! I want to go again later!”
“I really don’t have any kids.”
It seemed like everyone was going to be fussing over that story for a while.
But apart from the cluttered atmosphere, there were other things to do.
“We will proceed with the meeting before rest.”
An executive meeting under the leadership of Armonia.
Me, Lena, and Kang Han Na followed Armonia into my office and held a meeting.
“Let’s start with the basic cleanup.”
The arrangement that Armonia spoke of was a simple arrangement of what happened at the consulate.
The consulate’s vacation, the organization led by the church, Seongsuah and Yeriel entering the dungeon, the rewards received from clearing the dungeon, and…
“If Yeriel moves, the risk will probably rise a lot on the next visit.”
At Armonia’s words, Kang Han Na nodded her head.
“I think so. Given the woman’s character, she would try to sever her Order at once.”
I also agreed with Kang Han Na’s thoughts.
I didn’t mean that Yeriel was a cruel woman.
Yeri El also knew how serious the Order was, so she would try to match the Gungon.
The moment you compromise for safety, the world could fall into chaos.
Next Lena spoke.
“If that happens, even Cho Kang-hyeon will move. It will definitely be a dangerous fight.”
“…”
The reason Lena was wary of Kang Hyun was simple.
It was because she had first-hand experience of Cho Kang-hyeon’s skills.
“With an unknown ability, I neutralized my weapon in an instant. It even reworked everything in its vicinity into a lethal form.”
“I saw that scene too… There were a lot of things I couldn’t understand.”
It just didn’t seem like the ability to render weapons useless and transform objects around them.
The silver sword that Lena was holding rusted in an instant, and furthermore, she turned it into rust powder.
It was a scene as if the time of Lena’s sword was turned back to the future.
“I realize once again that Dr. Koh Min-tae is a real common sense person.”
As Kang Han-na said, Go Min-tae only specializes in the academic part, so it would seem common sense to the general public.
“But how do you really do it? If that super strong man moves…”
“…”
None of them gave a specific answer.
It would be natural for Cho Kang-hyun to move.
Because there’s no way Cho Kang-hyeon would just play the role of a leader in the church.
In the end, the conclusion came from Armonia’s mouth.
“I’ll ask the Zodiac side.”
Even if you received a request in the first place, it was the Zodiac that told you to ask for help at any time if you needed it.
Even so, I couldn’t easily ask for help…
“Please filter the stories about Yeriel and the tower before delivering them.”
It was because Yeriel and the tower were entangled in this incident.
The Zodiac was in a position to manipulate the current head of the group of monsters, and of course it would have a hostile relationship with the tower, a group of heroes.
If we destroy the church and destroy the tower at the same time… Rather, I face the situation I hate the most.
No matter how much I’m on the Zodiac side, I can’t see the tower collapsing.
“All right. I will filter out that part as much as possible and deliver it.”
For now, I decided to trust Armonia and entrust that part.
‘Will I be able to meet monsters next time I go?’
Until now, I had never faced a monster.
I couldn’t even meet the follower who infiltrated me into the consulate.
Apart from the anxiety, I also felt a sense of anticipation.
‘I wish there were girls as cute as Beatrice.’
The anticipation of seeing the beast-like guys in person.
So, all the basic topics have been covered.
After that, we set our destination.
“We should also go to Yggdrasil.”
“I think so too.”
It was the timing to go in order, but there was a different reason why Kang Han-na and Lena pointed at Yggdrasil.
“I can’t wait to see that dwarf woman frustrated.”
“I agree.”
Despite my strong tone, Lena also nodded her head.
The dwarf woman was, of course, a reference to Stella.
If you use the ability to recognize the invisible magic circle you learned from the dean, you will be able to forcibly pierce Stella’s chastity magic.
If I just use that, I’ll be able to make all the elves with chastity magic circles my slaves, not just Stella.
To be honest, I was looking forward to it as much as Kang Han Na and Lena.
‘I’m curious too.’
When she left Yggdrasil the other day, Stella’s appearance was calmer than expected.
I was only momentarily taken aback when I told Stella of her aspirations to fuck her virgin, but she calmly took time to herself after that.
What would your face look like if you were to face a real virgin being eaten?
‘Ah… I want to go quickly!!!’
I smiled as I suppressed the tickling of my lower abdomen.
And…
“Your expression is interesting.”
“…”
Everyone was looking at me with different expressions.
“Kuhm… Then let’s go to Yggdrasil!”
I ended the subject in such a hurry.
“Then the meeting will end here. You two, please move away for a moment.”
“Yes.”
“All right.”
Kang Han-na and Lena, who heard Armonia’s order to celebrate, quickly went out of the office.
And the only ones left were me and Armonia.
The stories I stayed with Armonia were about the change in my temperament, which I always do after the cadre meeting.
“Compared to the frequent fierce battles, temperaments not related to battles have risen.”
The most noticeable was her cooking-related skills, which she had improved while cooking for Yeriel and Seong Soo-ah.
Other than that, the ability that went up was about fire attribute, water attribute, wind attribute temperament raised to 10.
The reason for this slow growth was simple.
“It seems to be a problem caused by the large number of abilities.”
Having a lot of abilities was rather poisonous to growth.
Above all, if it was dangerous, it was usually solved by using the magic of possession or putting brain attribute magic on a superconducting arrow.
“Actually, this is normal.”
“But…”
Unless you were using Enel, it was a nonsensical situation to suddenly grow like a popper.
In fact, I didn’t particularly regret this situation.
‘Compared to when I first came here, it’s like the bugs have become more than human beings.’
When I was alone with Armonia, when I recalled the days when I was struggling with 1-2 Enel, I could feel the word ‘a sense of alienation’ with my body.
I said to Armonia, feeling a sense of alienation.
“Armonia, do you want to cook with the sense that you have developed cooking skills?”
“I am welcome.”
So we finished our last meeting and headed to the restaurant.
..
..
We set off for Yggdrasil, but it will take two days to arrive.
There were some things I had to check exactly before arriving.
That’s right…
“Hey… It’s a rare sight every time I see it.”
It was the space inside the eye of Horus.
I admired the endless expanse of the desert.
Except for the pyramid I was standing on, it was all sand.
“Oh, there is also the sun and the moon.”
The sun shines during the day, and the moon shines at night.
Other than that, nothing really seemed like it.
“Is there something like an oasis here?”
I didn’t see the existence of Oasis while walking around with Yeriel, but I was talking to myself just in case.
But the answer that came back was cold.
(There is no oasis here. Only sand…)
It must be clear that this is what the person in charge of this space said.
“You can change the environment too. Can’t you make something like an oasis?”
(There’s nothing I can do about it except for basic environmental adjustments.)
It was said that the intersection of the sun and the moon was not the will of the ring.
What can a ring do to control the temperature?
‘Is it like an air conditioner or a heater?’
There were no complaints whatsoever.
Rather, I was satisfied with the fact that I had such ability.
There was just one curious fact.
“Why is it a sand desert? And where did you get the pyramid from?”
(Right now, everything in this space was brought by the previous contractor. All the pyramids and sand that are standing now.)
“Omg…”
Did the pharaoh squeeze all the sand in the ring right now?
“He’s a madman.”
However, apart from being a crazy person, I could see that he had a good head.
The sand is all over the place, so just shove it into the ring and you’re good to go.
In the case of the pyramid, considering the power of the pharaoh, it would be possible…
In fact, the important thing was the way the ring was used.
‘If I’m trapped here, I’ll wander around until I die.’
I found the location of the pharaoh with the temperament window, but if those who do not have such ability are trapped, they will wander in the desert until they die.
Perhaps Seongsuah and Yeriel were no different.
‘… It would have been a real big deal if I hadn’t gone in together then.’
At the time she was imprisoned here, Yeriel’s condition was such that it wouldn’t be strange to say that she was dying.
In such a state, if you wander here without a tent, water, or food… It would have met a terrible end.
‘It’s crazy when I think about it. I’ll have to call that bastard again and torture him later.’
After I vowed revenge, I began to ask the ring how to use this place.
(Inanimate objects can be stored at any time, but living objects cannot.)
“What about the soul?”
(The same goes for the soul.)
You could bring in a soul or a creature, but when you leave, you must take it out unconditionally.
In fact, if it’s really annoying, it’s enough to force it out of the warp.
And…
“If you use warp, you can even commit a perfect crime…’”
It was the biggest advantage.
Sometimes, even if I wanted to kill them, there were many cases where I couldn’t kill them because I noticed them.
With this ring, even the perfect crime would not have been a dream.
Unfortunately, however, the method was not without flaws.
(Unfortunately, my power is not infinite.)
“Huh? Is that a job that requires strength?”
(That’s right. When I was created in the first place, I didn’t consider that situation. It was a special situation, so I just enforced the rules and put them into practice…)
He explained that the Ring of Horus is surprisingly weak against living things.
(If I use it too much, my power will be completely lost and the ability of the ring will be lost.)
“Ah… You should use it only when you really need it.”
I can’t just throw away the sub-space that I barely got.
If so, I had high hopes that it would be okay to use it on kids like Cho Kang-hyun.
But even that was ultimately impossible.
(If the creature you left behind is an entity beyond my power, even I cannot remove it.)
“Ha… It’s a waste.”
First of all, it was said that monsters like the dean or Cho Kang-hyeon were impossible.
However, it was difficult to determine exactly what level it was.
According to the ring…
(Once you are a contractor, you are beyond my power.)
It was that I couldn’t kill myself if I was put in that situation.
After hearing the words of the ring, I was slightly moved.
‘I must have gotten stronger.’
I wondered if I was right, who was only focusing on one hand technique.
But…
‘… Nope Sticking to hand techniques is the same as before and now.’
To be honest, even if the other abilities suddenly disappeared, it would stop at an annoying level, but the moment the hand skills disappeared, it seemed like despair.
That’s because it’s the ability that completely changed my life.
First of all, if you roughly interpret the words of the ring, it’s like this.
(If the one I can’t kill is trapped, it can cause great damage to this place, so be careful.)
“Ah…”
The only things that are here right now are pyramids and desert sand.
However, this ring has the ability of storage, and I intend to store items here whenever I need them.
If there’s a guy who can’t be dealt with even with the power of the ring, the storage will be a mess.
Otherwise, if you try to deal with it as I said earlier, you will lose the ability of the ring.
“I will pay attention to that. Is there anything else that shouldn’t be kept here?”
(Simple. It is recommended not to store items that are affected by temperature and environment.)
As a representative example, Banji’s advice was not to store food products.
(No matter how much I can create the environment here, it is impossible to perfectly control the temperature and humidity.)
“Okay.”
The air conditioner and heater work, but the refrigerator does not.
To put it simply, it was the backward compatibility of Yggdrasil’s inventory.
Yggdrasil’s inventory never rots no matter what you put in it.
On the other hand, since time passes the same way as the outside in the space inside the ring, objects here also rot, rust, or weather like the outside.
But even though I was aware of those limitations, I didn’t particularly regret it.
“If there is a constraint, it is enough to solve it.”
I am inside the Ring of Horus…
“Now then, before we get to Yggdrasil, let’s make it a usable space.”
Remodeling work started.
