Chapter 1223 – 1223. Yggdrasil (8)
A huge flower that radiates light like the sun.
Anyone could tell that this was the final destination of the dungeon.
“For now, everyone is waiting here.”
“Yes.”
I let go of the party members and jumped towards the flower bud alone.
The flower radiating light was as large as the surrounding flowers, but it wasn’t difficult to climb up with my jumping ability.
Actually, the thing that prevented me from climbing up was not the height.
‘Wow, my eyes hurt.’
The brilliance flowing from the flower’s entire body obstructed my vision.
Fortunately, there were no other distractions, so we were able to get to the flower bud quickly.
In the stamens of the flower buds that arrived…
“… That’s it.”
There were water droplets emitting golden light.
For reference, it was expressed as a water drop, but in fact, I already knew the identity of the water drop.
“It looks like honey.”
Shining flowers, and honey droplets on the stamens.
It was one of the items requested by Walter Luxsolis.
I didn’t even hear the explanation that it was a huge flower field, but I had already heard the explanation about these shining flowers and honey droplets, so I was convinced as soon as I saw the shining flowers.
The fact that that honey drop will be here…
I laughed helplessly as I took out the empty bottle I had prepared in advance to take the honey drops.
“I brought Midsummer with me just in case… “I really didn’t need it.”
For reference, I had been informed in advance that the items requested by Walter Luxsolis did not require a drop rate.
These honey droplets originally form once at a certain cycle, but…
“It’s been neglected for over a thousand years, so of course it is.”
I carefully placed the huge honey drop into a glass bottle.
Let’s put it in a glass bottle like that…
====================
[Nectar]
The mead enjoyed by the gods
When consumed, one becomes a demi-god and at the same time rejuvenates to the age of one’s prime.
It contains immortality and demigod abilities, but both abilities last only for one year.
If you drink again before one year has elapsed, the year will be reset rather than added.
====================
The item description is displayed.
And as soon as the item description was displayed, Gekkosu and Loki started talking noisily in their own way.
└Guardian of the gay dick: Kyaaa! It’s been a while.
“Kehehehe! “It’s been so long!”
I asked, looking at the two beings who suddenly started talking.
“Is it good?”
An item that makes you look younger and makes you look better.
Just looking at the description, it seemed like a good-looking item.
However, seeing the two people cheering as if they were of one mind made me expect that there might be something that wasn’t explained in the explanation.
But my expectations…
└Guardian of the gay cock: That’s so fucking delicious.
“Kehehehe! “It was the joy of my life.”
“…”
It collapsed to pieces.
The only reason Gekkosu and Rocky liked this drink was because it was delicious.
└Guardian of the gay dick: But can you make me a half-body?
“Kehehe… This is my first time hearing that story too. I knew it was something that made you look younger because it was so famous, but…”
I even only knew half of the benefits of honey called [Nectar].
However, as soon as I remembered the identities of the two beings, I was able to guess the reason for not knowing.
‘Because they are both like gods in the first place.’
Since they were god-like beings to begin with, they would not have been interested in the ability to turn them into demi-gods.
“Okay then, let’s take one…”
After taking [Nectar], I immediately put it in my inventory and returned to the place where the party members were.
.
.
Returning to the dungeon entrance was not as difficult as I thought.
Thanks to the fact that I often saw monsters while exploring the dungeon, I didn’t encounter any monsters on the way back.
When I left the dungeon, the time that had passed was approximately…
“… “I had no idea you would come out so quickly.”
It was 4 hours.
Lucien looked surprised at us coming out earlier than expected and started asking various questions about the dungeon.
I gave Lucien detailed information about the environment in the dungeon and the monsters he fought.
Lucien listened to my entire explanation…
“You are truly amazing… Those monsters all at once…”
Unable to hide his blunt emotions like usual, he continued to express his admiration.
Then he began to stare at me calmly, looking as if he wanted something.
I felt like I knew from my explanation that the item I got was what my father wanted.
I handed [Nectar] To Lucien.
“Now, take it.”
“Thank you. Are you planning on leaving for the next dungeon right away?”
“Yes, I’m going to take a break and then go.”
“All right. I will go so as not to disturb your rest. If you need anything, please call me immediately.”
After receiving the [Nectar] I gave her, Lucien immediately expressed her gratitude and left.
After resting for a while, we…
“Okay then, let’s go into the next dungeon.”
“Yes!”
I entered the next dungeon with a light heart.
.
.
Since I cleared the first dungeon in 4 hours, I expected to be able to clear the remaining three before the end of the day.
But unfortunately, after clearing the third time…
“I can’t do it. Let’s go in with the remaining one tomorrow.”
A dark sky filled with stars welcomed us.
After hearing what I said, Min Ha-yeon nodded with a tired look.
“Phew… Thank god. “I just happened to be sleepy.”
Not only Min Ha-yeon, but also other party members nodded their heads, blinking their eyelids helplessly.
“Me too… “I’m so tired~”
“Plus, the smell of flowers and grapes all day today…”
“But that’s better. “I think the place I just went into was the worst.”
For reference, the first dungeon is a flower field.
The second dungeon was a grape orchard.
And the third…
“Uh… I felt like I knew what it felt like to be intoxicated by the smell.”
It was an alcohol dungeon where not only the rivers and lakes, but even the liquid coming out of the drinking water fountains that existed in between were entirely made of alcohol.
Thanks to this, everyone proceeded through the dungeon while holding their noses.
The reason the dungeon exploration time was delayed was because of the alcohol dungeon.
The number of monsters was much smaller than other places, but the strong smell of alcohol slowed down progress.
It would have been nice if I could have proceeded like that and gotten the requested item…
“If everyone is tired, you can just rest tomorrow. “I think I can go in alone at this level.”
Unfortunately, the item requested by Walter Luxsolis did not appear.
In other words, the story was that you had to go through all four dungeons.
The party members who heard me immediately shook their heads and responded.
“Why are you going in alone?”
“No matter how easy it is, I don’t want to make you suffer alone.”
“And my foresight doesn’t work outside the dungeon…”
“Okay. “I have to continue to the end just as I started.”
“I think so too.”
Everyone sniffed their noses as if shaking off the smell of alcohol, but showed their stubborn will.
“Haha… Then, let’s all rest and leave tomorrow.”
“Yes!”
While everyone was laughing and talking haha…
‘… What? ‘Where did you go?’
The image of midsummer that was visible when I left the dungeon earlier did not appear.
When I looked confused, Armonia explained to me.
[As soon as Suho declared the end, he quickly left.]
‘What? ‘Didn’t you see me?’
[I will upload a video.]
A video containing my voice appeared along with Armonia’s words.
(It won’t work. Let’s go in with the remaining one tomorrow.)
Midsummer was buried in darkness when I declared the end of the search…
‘And… I thought it was a cockroach…’
Like a real cockroach, it disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
As soon as I saw the video, I could understand why Midsummer disappeared as quickly as a cockroach.
‘Okay… A woman is a woman, too.’
He left to meet Erdin.
When the issue of women became involved, I remembered the midsummer that turned into a cockroach…
‘Let’s just see what they’re doing.’
With that in mind, I disbanded the party and headed to the tent where Erdin was staying.
.
.
Erdin’s tent was smaller than expected.
Still, I could tell that, unlike other elves, they were treated in an individual tent rather than a camp.
‘But… The position of leader of the Arbos Bombardment Brigade is not a position commonly seen on the streets.’
For the elves here, Erdin’s presence will feel more scary than me and the party members.
No matter how different their affiliations are, Erdin is one of the key elves who commands the Arvos army.
Furthermore, he even received recognition from Stella.
If Erdin had his way, it wouldn’t be an easy task to bring the lives of the elves here to the bottom.
‘Well, that won’t happen.’
To begin with, I had a temperament of [Unemotional], So I wasn’t the type to feel uncomfortable with emotional aspects.
Instead…
(Sigh… You keep your unnecessary promises.)
The problem was that they openly revealed their hatred for the human race.
Erdin grumbles as he sees Midsummer inside the tent…
(Haha, it’s a promise I made with my younger brother, so of course I have to keep it.)
Midsummer lets out a laugh as if her stress is relieved by seeing Erdin like that.
(Haa… So are you, and so is that man…)
(Is it you? I need to call you by your proper name.)
(Ha… Yes, I’ll call you, Oppa.)
Even though Erdin had an [Emotionless] Temperament, she was giving off unpleasant emotions to Han Yeo-reum like crazy.
But an unpleasant feeling is an unpleasant feeling…
(Sit there.)
(Yes.)
Erdin quickly began to proceed with her experiments, as if her research was more important than her own feelings.
Since it took place inside a tent, I couldn’t tell exactly what was going on…
‘Nothing special.’
She didn’t look much different from the chastity magic experiment she was conducting before.
Erdin seemed to measure Midsummer’s luck through the items she had.
I could see Erdin working hard through the shadows outside the tent.
‘It’s not as big a deal as I thought. Should I go and rest?’
I didn’t really think anything would happen.
The reality is that no matter what Midoreum wants to do in the first place, she can’t even do skinship properly due to the chastity magic.
The reason I came here was simply because I was looking forward to seeing what kind of nonsense Midsummer would do.
‘Write… Go and organize the items you got today…’
The moment she tried to turn her body…
(Erdin, have you met your destined partner?)
Midsummer’s voice pulled my head and made me turn.
(A fateful partner?)
I pricked up my little ears and focused on the conversation coming from inside the tent.
(Yes, the fateful partner allowed by chastity magic.)
(Sigh… What else did I say…)
Erdin let out a series of sighs, then nodded her head in response.
(We don’t use that expression. We just call them spouses…)
(Well…)
As if Midreum agreed, I also nodded.
‘Well, there wouldn’t be anything strange even if we were just spouses.’
The elves seemed to use the simple expression that they would just mate with the partner chosen by the chastity magic.
In some ways, that’s normal…
While I was nodding my head, I heard Erdin’s sneer.
(Hmph… A fateful partner… I guess they use such childish expressions in the human world.)
As we talked, it seemed like my feelings of misanthropy suddenly exploded.
But Erdin’s ridicule turned out to be her worst move.
(That? That was what Her Royal Highness the Princess said.)
(Nothing… Nothing…)
I could tell how embarrassed she was by Erdin’s trembling voice.
And Midsummer was satisfied with Erdin’s appearance and continued her words.
Haha, don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone this.)
(Ugh… Thank you, brother…)
Erdin began to face Midsummer in a weaker manner than usual, as if she had been hit hard.
Before we knew it, the leadership of the conversation had passed to Midreum.
Midsummer took advantage and began to bombard Erdin with her questions.
Most of them were questions related to Erdin’s personal history.
Family relations, place of birth, process of obtaining the position of commander of the artillery corps, etc…
‘Oh… It’s suddenly fun.’
Thanks to Midsummer, I was able to enjoy Erdin’s personal history.
And the moment you enjoy it…
(Erdin… What will you do if your chastity magic names a human as your spouse?)
A question so exciting that it caught my ear came out of Midsummer’s mouth.
‘Oh… ‘I’m really curious about this?’
What kind of answer will Erdin, who is full of misanthropy, give?
I concentrated on Erdin’s voice to the point where I swallowed my saliva, and Erdin’s answer was…
(That won’t happen, but if Chastity Magic chooses to do so… Well, I’ll have to accept it.)
The midsummer shadow reflected in the tent was exciting.
