Chapter 375 – 375. God’s Atlantis
375. God’s Atlantis
“There is too much malice in this knife. It can be said that it is just before turning into the urethra. It looks like it’s made of dragon scales…. This wouldn’t happen unless humans were slaughtered within a short period of time…. This knife is dangerous.”
“What’s dangerous…. A knife is just a knife, isn’t it?”
“Unless you are a craftsman, it is difficult to determine the condition of a sword. Didn’t you get a headache every time you swung your sword, or did you have the will to kill for no reason? You must have felt the urge to harm yourself.”
“No. I didn’t feel anything….”
I wondered if Damons was lying. It was because Hwaryeonbi Island was fine when I saw it. Seeing it again is the same. I don’t feel the ominousness that can be called a urethra.
“But is it really enough to turn into a urethra? I’ve never heard of a weapon becoming a monster if you kill a lot of monsters.”
“You don’t seem to understand. Let me tell you more. When I mean the accumulation of malice, I mean thoughts. Negative emotions such as fear, murderous intent, hatred, despair, and anger. Most monsters move according to their instincts, so even if you kill countless numbers, your thoughts won’t accumulate.”
“…… It means that if you kill a person, their thoughts will easily stick to it.”
“Exactly. In this case, hundreds of people would have to be slaughtered….”
Damons looks at me with wary eyes. I pretended not to know
“What should I do to keep my thoughts from sticking to the knife?”
“You just have to keep taking good care of it. But it rarely comes to this level. There are many cases where the sword can’t hold up and gets smashed, and it falls apart when the sword is being repaired. It turns into a urethra because this sword was of great brightness.”
I thought about it quietly.
To me, the Hwaryeonbido was still just a good knife to use. It is also a knife with a lot of attachment. Even if it turned into a urethra, I had no intention of throwing it away. And wouldn’t changing the urethra actually benefit me?
“If it turns into a urethra, doesn’t the sword become stronger? To the extent that I can tolerate minor side effects.”
“Small side effects… ? You are underestimating the urethra too much. Is Yodo called Yodo for nothing? It’s cute enough to drive the owner crazy, and it’s the same thing that ends up ruining everything.”
“Still, doesn’t the weapon become stronger? I can afford the side effects. How can I make this a complete urethra?”
Damons looked at me pathetically and shook his head.
“Your weapon won’t become stronger if you change into a urethra. It’s just changing. For example, there is a possibility that the property enhancing effect of this sword will turn into something bad.”
Attribute enhancement effect. According to Damon’s words, Hwaryeonbido seems to have the effect of strengthening not only thunderbolt but also other attributes. I first knew
“…… What if it changes… ?”
I felt insecure.
“I don’t know. There is a high probability that it will change to a curse type.”
“…….”
I tried the calculator in my head. How likely is it to have a better effect than attribute enhancement?
‘… And I can’t be sure that the side effects of the urethra don’t just work for me. It might not work because it’s still before it turns into the urethra….’
Most of all, I quite liked the attribute enhancement ability.
Having made up my mind, I looked straight at Damon and asked.
“What should I do to get rid of that thought?”
Damon’s face brightened.
“You seem to have realized the dangers of the urethra! It’s best to reforge the weapon. However… If you have this much thought accumulated, it’s impossible to just retrain, and the priest’s blessing… Or you need a lot of holy water.”
“…….”
Priest and holy water.
Retrieving itself is not difficult. All you need is enough money to get it. However, to rescue the priest, you must leave the area and re-enter. Space movement spells do not work in this area and its surroundings, so at least 5 days must be consumed.
In the case of the priest, you must get Elena’s permission again and bring it here. It will cost more money or time than expected.
As I was rolling my head, something flashed into my mind.
“How about this? Holy water is holy water, but it is a slightly different holy water.”
“Well? Give it to me sometime.”
What I gave him was holy water from a random draw. It’s a little different from the one in this world, but the holy water is the same.
[Sacred Water
Maybe good things will happen if you drink or apply the holy water?
Price: 2 points
※Caution
Depending on the amount, the effect and duration vary.]
I had about 4 bottles because they came out from time to time. I couldn’t find a place to use it, so I was just piling it up.
Damons studied the holy water here and there.
“It’s a little different from what I know, but it’s a holy water. I’ll try this one. It will work.”
“Are you retraining?”
“Aren’t you a knight of the Duke? Of course you should do something like this.”
Damons grinned.
“And since this rarely happens, I think it’s going to be pretty fun.”
“You bad Damons! Are you the only one doing fun things again?!”
“I have no intention of doing it alone. This kind of thing rarely happens, so we should all do it together. Isn’t it?”
“Right! We should all do it togetherhaha!”
I looked behind the dwarves. Dozens of empty beer bottles were scattered on the floor. It seems that each person forgot two or three bottles before they knew it.
‘I’m sure it’s not like getting into an accident while working after drinking, right?’
He was anxious, but he had no choice but to intervene with the dwarves.
•••
Life as a guest of the ironroot dwarf tribe was quite comfortable. The dwarves treated me as an honored guest and told me their own dishes and stories. From my point of view, it wasn’t very good, but I didn’t show it.
“Sung Yujin. Is His Excellency the Duke in good health?”
“Your Excellency is well.”
Dwarves were very interested in Elena. The races are different, and Elena dominates them, but far from hating her, she respects them.
According to her, Elena saved them from being plundered by a greedy demon.
‘…… Is that a dwarf girl? It’s hard to tell the difference between a man and a woman.’
The woman also had a beard and was full of body. The only difference between a male dwarf and a female dwarf was the presence or absence of breasts, which was hard to tell when wearing clothes.
I once stole the baths of female dwarves. But it was never my taste.
The breasts protrude, but they do not feel large. The waist is straight with no flexion, and the pelvis does not protrude. In private places, hair is thick like a beard. The genitals were identical to those of humans.
‘Ah. The woman is sick Woman!’
I just went back to reality and had sex with Han Harin, but I wanted to hug a woman again. The real body and the present body are completely different.
I couldn’t attack the female dwarf. I wasn’t that hungry, and just looking at the female dwarf’s face would make my cock go down.
“Sung Yujin. We have a problem.”
Damon with a serious face came to the house where I was staying.
“What happened. If there is any problem with Hwaryeonbi Island….”
“No. That’s no The reforging of that sword is well under way. The effect of the holy water is better than expected.”
“Then what is the problem?”
“Materials are scarce. This time, the young Dwarf made a mistake in organizing the warehouse, so there was a mistake with the materials in the warehouse. There is enough quantity to make a sword, but… It’s not enough to make armor.”
“… Should I go to another district and buy some iron ore?”
“Ironstone? We use ironwood. And what is lacking is not iron.”
“Then what is lacking?”
“I need the sap of the white iron tree. Without the sap of the white iron tree, the iron tree is just plain iron.”
“Then can’t we just make it without the sap?”
“Do you really want that? Without the sap of the white iron tree, armor that is at least A rank will be made into C rank armor. Are you okay though?”
“…….”
The grade is down by 2 levels, but how can it be okay? This was a serious problem. Luxury goods are trying to become mass-produced products, but it was not possible not to be serious.
“Is there any workaround?”
“Originally, we don’t go into the Iron Tree Forest at this time. It’s the time when monsters and ghosts are getting excited…. But with your help, I think it will be possible.”
I got up. It was a car that was itching because there were no women and nothing to do.
“What can I do?”
•••
The iron tree forest behind the village was eerie.
Even though it is broad daylight, thick fog blocks the sunlight, and trees made of iron without a single leaf are sparsely planted. The floor was black and hard. As soon as we entered the forest, the temperature dropped dramatically. It was similar to the cool weather at dawn.
I walked through the Iron Tree Forest with Damon.
“Aren’t you afraid of the Iron Tree Forest?”
“? Why are you afraid here?”
“The ironwood forest is where this gloomy atmosphere brings dreadful delusion, and the cold ironwood brings visceral fear. Especially this thick fog. Even us dwarves try not to enter the Iron Tree Forest during this time of heavy fog.”
“Well. It’s creepy. Still, aren’t the things coming out here monsters after all? Killing the monster is enough.”
“As expected, you are brave like a knight of His Excellency the Duke. Let me tell you something funny. The other day, a young dwarf came into the Iron Tree Forest and urinated like a child. He stepped on the urine and fell to the ground, passing out. Then, suddenly, a banshee appeared and took possession of the body of the fainted guy and ran wild.”
“Is this a funny story?”
“That young dwarf will be teased for the rest of his life now. Isn’t it fun?”
“Yes. Well, that’s fun.”
It was heartbreaking. What does that young dwarf have to do with me?
Damons, perhaps embarrassed by my reaction, was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth again.
“There are three types of monsters in the Iron Tree Forest. … Well. Did I say
“I didn’t go into detail, but I said that ghosts were rampant.”
“To be exact, these three are the Banshee, the Monster Rat, and the Iron Tree.”
“Is the iron tree a monster too?”
As far as I know, iron trees are just trees with iron properties. A mysterious tree that turns into iron when smelted in a special way.
“Iron ears. It was possessed by a banshee. Unlike other iron trees, it is difficult to recognize, so it is the most dangerous tree, so be careful too.”
Strictly speaking, there seemed to be two types of monsters in the Iron Tree Forest. Monster rats and banshee.
“Even with monster rats… How do you take down a Banshee or an Iron Tree Ear? From what I saw in the village, the warriors seemed to be few in number.”
“That…. Oh, what a banshee it is.”
Woo woo woo woo.
A banshee appeared out of thin air. She was a whitish female ghost. Her face is skinny and she has no eyeballs, and her body shakes like a piece of paper. There were absolutely no suffocating elements.
Paper weave.
When I caused a thunderbolt, Damon stepped forward first.
“You asked how we take down the banshee? I will show you.”
Damon grabbed the hammer and charged at the banshee. Although she was small, she was fierce and agile like a tiger.
Aaaaagh!
Banshee cast her curse. It was a curse that depressed her mind and slowed her body. I resisted the curse by raising mana, but Damon just charged. The banshee’s curse didn’t block his legs.
“Where! Are you fluttering dirty, filthy, rotten skirts! Die! You ugly bitch!”
Damon swung his hammer at the banshee.
I thought his attacks wouldn’t work. This is because ghost-type monsters like Banshee are basically immune to physical attacks. You can’t physically damage unless you use mana.
However, the following scene was different from what I expected.
Aaaaagh!
Banshee screamed as she plummeted to her floor.
“Don’t give me rest!”
Damon tapped the stretching hammer. Banshee eventually couldn’t stand it and his body turned to smoke and disappeared. A small amount of blue powder was left in its place.
“Oops. I need to get the powder before it gets blown away by the wind.”
Damons squatted and swept up the dust.
“There was no sign of using mana… , How did you defeat the banshee?”
“Have you forgotten what we dwarves are good at?”
“…… What’s the matter with drinking beer? Could it be that Banshee’s weakness was beer?”
