Chapter Ninety-Eight: Return to Work

Ji-woo double-checks the documents of his new house.

"It was not used as collateral and the property was not seized. No one has rented it before either. Totally clean. ”

No problem.

During Ji-woo's two weeks, he will have breakfast, lunch and dinner in the house.

Of course, he didn't come with a real estate agent, so he couldn't go in.

But it didn't matter because he didn't come to see the house.

Ji-woo conducted a survey of the neighborhood and surrounding areas.

"The train station is just a 15 minute walk away. ”

Once the station is closed, the area can be considered a station area.

However...

Well, it might be a bit difficult for my sisters to go to school.

If they move here, then they are further away from the school, so they have to commute by bus.

After the sun goes down, Ji-woo walks through nearby roads and alleys.

Quiet at night and no adult entertainment area nearby. But it's a bit bleak. That street light doesn't work. I should file a civil lawsuit. ”

He's been through the process of buying a home before, so he knows exactly what to look for.

"Okay. ”

Ji-woo, who has done all the inspections, is sure that this house is currently the best they can do.

He then visited Alth.

He received 1,000 gold from Stone Go Bar and 3,300 from Oasis.

In addition, he received more from chyle, bringing his total to 5,000 gold (including the gold before the trip).

He went to a currency exchange office and exchanged 5,000 gold for won.

He then called the real estate agent and appointed a formal contract.

Oh Jae-woo left the real estate agency.

He had just signed a monthly contract.

A middle-aged estate agent swept his hair, glasses and suit from the back of his house and kicked him out of the house.

That's the owner of the house!

"Nice to meet you. ”

Ji-woo lowered his head.

"Yes. I hope there won't be any problems between us. The man said politely.

What was Ji-woo's first impression of this man? He looked like a man who had been rich all his life.

But in their negotiations, the man did not ignore him because of his age and did not abuse his power.

"Well, I'm not sure yet. ”

At least, he doesn't seem like one of those scumbag landowners who appears in the play.

"Yes, I hope so, too. Jiwoo said.

And then. ”

"Take care of yourself. ”

Ji-woo and the landlord parted ways.

As he walked, he pulled out his phone.

He told his family via group chat that he had signed the contract and that everything was going well.

His sisters expressed their joy with a variety of expressions.

"Let's go back and make some money. ”

Ji-woo puts his phone back in his pocket and goes home.

Cono arrives at the Juranto Bar.

"It's as old and dilapidated as ever. ”

He enters the bar and finds the old man Tino.

Tino drank some cheap liquor.

Cono sat across from Tino.

"Huh, you're..."

Tino looked at his face.

"Honey water, seafood soup, ten gold coins. Con said. They were all he had given to Tino in the past.

"Ah, you're the one I wrote that letter of introduction. What's your name?"

"Conou. ”

"Oh, so your name is Conou. Would you like a drink?"

Tino handed him the cup he had drunk.

Con Ou shook his head.

"Really? Then I'll drink it. ”

Tino lifted the cup and swallowed the rest.

Cono took a piece of paper from his breast pocket, placed it on the table, and pushed it towards Tino.

"What is this?" asked Tino.

"They are the names of the dungeons," Conou said.

There were more than a dozen names listed on that piece of paper.

Tino looked at the newspaper blankly.

"Huh?"

"Double-check the names and give me any information about these dungeons or anything you hear," Con said. ”

"Free?"

Tino's eyes sparkled.

"Do you actually have any information for me?"

"Hmm. ”

Tino begins to sift through the names of the dungeon.

"I can tell you about three of them. ”

"10 gold each. ”

Conou took out 30 pieces of gold from his breast pocket and placed them on the table.

"Can you start now?"

Tino nodded and said, "First of all, I heard that there is a mysterious creature living in the Grancia Forest. ”

Grancia is a tree-shaped monster, and the Grancia Forest is where these monsters are found.

"A mysterious creature?"

"Animals do not live in the Grancia Forest, but it is believed that there is a creature living there. ”

"Isn't this mysterious boss monster?"

There are no fixed boss monsters in the Grancia Forest. Therefore, this living organism has the potential to become a monster for the boss.

"What about the other dungeons?" asked Conou.

"I've heard rumors that there is a secret area inside Kudal's lab. ”

"A secret place...... "Conou muttered.

Is this secret area a hidden dungeon?

"I have to go there. ”

"Finally, the site of Batiyu," Tino said. They say that on the night of the full moon, a secret society came to the ruins and performed some strange rituals. ”

[You have received information about a secret ceremony held at the site of Batiyu.] If you get additional information or clues, then a task will be created. ]

"It's not about the hidden dungeon. ”

If Con Ou is a normal player, then he will do his best to get quests that other players don't have.

That's because these pursuits will allow them to experience adventures that no one else can experience.

However, there is no reason for Conor to focus entirely on these tasks. However, for the greedy Conou, it would be very different if it was a quest like Eder S Corporation (with a reward of 5,000 gold).

"Is that all?" asked Conou.

"It's everything. ”

Cono gave the 30 gold coins to Tino. He grinned, and quickly put the 30 pieces of gold into his chest.

However!

The host came suddenly.

"I'm going to use it to pay for your label. ”

The owner snatched 30 gold from Tino.

"You can't!"

The owner of the bar said, "Now you have 14 gold on your label. Then leave.

"I'm looking here..."

Tino stared at Conou like a child. He was basically saying, "Give me some money." ”

Of course, Conou is not a philanthropist, so he ignores Tino's gaze and stands up.

"I'll see you later, then. ”

Cono left the Giulanto Bar.

Conou arrives at Eder's mansion.

He knocked on the door, and it opened in a few moments. Conou greeted with a pale face.

It's Ed.

"Mr. Conou!"

"How about resting?"

Conou spent a lot of time looking at the house with his family and did a full two weeks of research on the house itself, so he didn't ask Eder for it.

As a result, Ed was able to relax for two full weeks.

"Yes, I'm well rested. ”

He had always wondered why Eder's skin looked so soft and smooth. Of course, that's what he calls Ed (Eder), so that may not be the case.

"Good. It's time to go back to work," Conou said.

"Good. Please come in. ”

Ed motioned for him to come in.

"Good. Get your equipment ready and come out. ”

That's why Conou didn't summon Eder and came here in person.

If he summons Edel suddenly, there is a good chance that he (the Cursed Knight) will appear unequipped.

Therefore, he had no choice but to come here in person.

Like I thought, I really need a communication device.

Grano had promised to give him a pair of communication earrings, so he planned to ask him one more thing the next time they met.

"Please wait. ”

"Okay. I'll give you three minutes. ”

He absolutely hates waiting.

"3 minutes is not enough. Please come in and wait comfortably for ......"

"You're wasting your time talking. ”

Ed rushed into the mansion without closing the door.

Cono looked at the sky.

White clouds flow peacefully across the blue sky.

"It's a good weather for hunting......

Soon after...

Dash.

Ed appeared, equipped with his Blood Knight armor set, his four-colored skull shield, and his mace.

"Three minutes haven't passed yet, have they?"

"Yes, probably not. ”

Conou wasn't going to give him time. He only picked three minutes, so he had to hurry.

"Anyway, let's go. ”

Conou leads.

"Where are we going?" asked Ed.

"Have you heard of Kudar's lab?" asked Conou.

"Kudar, you mean the alchemist Kudar?"

Kudar was considered a great alchemist. He was the first alchemist to create artificial life.

"Yes. There is apparently a secret area inside the Kuda lab," said Conou.

"Who said?"

"Old man Tino. ”

"So are we going to Kudar's lab now?"

"Yes, but only after we go somewhere else first. ”

Conou heads to the Altan Central Library.

In the past, he had forced Edel to read the Chronicles of Lorcia in the hope of finding a new demonic sword.

"Why are you there?"

Ed tilted his head.

Why did they go to the library all of a sudden?

"I want to know more about Kudar," Conou said.

Kudar was a well-known alchemist. There are definitely books about him in the Central Library of Altan.

Plus, the books may have some clues that will help him get into the hidden dungeon.

"It's like how Mr. Grano brought us to the quicksand pit. ”

Conou and Eder enter the Central Library.

The Central Library of Altan has not changed at least. Especially there are so many books here.

Conou went up as a librarian.

"Hello. ”

They smiled politely.

"Hello, do you need help?"

"Do you have a book about the alchemist Kudar?"

"Please follow me. ”

Conou and Eder followed the librarian and stopped in front of the bookshelves.

"All the books here up to the second shelf contain information about the alchemist Kudar. ”

"Thank you very much. ”

After the librarian leaves, Conou and Ed begin flipping through the books.

"There's a book here. ”

Ed pulled out a book. The title of the book is "The Great Alchemist, Kudar".

Since Kudar was such a famous alchemist, he is mentioned in several titles.

"Just read two or three books. Then we can go to the Kudal lab. ”

As much as he wanted to gather information about Kudar, he was reluctant to read every book mentioned here about him.

"So you want me to read it again?"

In the past, Conou had forced Ed to read the 1,500-page Chronicle of Locha.

"What, do you want me to do the same thing as last time?"

Conou frowned.

"Nope. ”

Ed shook his head.

"When I'm friendly, please do what I ask. ”

At first, Ed used to be a slave.

However, as they spend more time with each other, Ed rises from a slave to a companion-like slave.

Because his status has improved, Conou treats him better.

"Understood. ”

Ed nodded, pulling out two more books.

Conou also perused the title and its table of contents, and pulled out two books of his own.

They put their books on their desks and sat down.

Conou picked up a book called The Great Alchemist and opened it to the table of contents where Kudar was mentioned.

The alchemist Kudar was the first alchemist to create artificial life. After his achievements, countless alchemists studied how to create artificial life using his example......"

Rustling..

Conou turned the page.

The sound of the page echoes throughout the library.
