Chapter 1216 – 1216. Yggdrasil (8)
I had expected to meet Lucien a long time ago.
In the first place, Lucien belongs to the Luxsolis family.
“Long time no see. “I never thought we would meet here.”
“Lucien… ?”
But she never expected to meet like this.
I looked blankly at Lucien, who calmly greeted her, then came to her senses and responded with a greeting.
“Yes, it’s been a while. “I never thought I’d see you here like this.”
“I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable by appearing suddenly.”
“You don’t need to apologize. There is no way I would be displeased when I see Lucien.”
Lucien and I met briefly on the first floor and then broke up, but at the time of our breakup, she helped me a lot, and then she left.
She was a woman who even had her righteous character listed outright in her temperament window.
There…
‘… I think she’s gotten prettier since we haven’t seen each other?’
[…]
It’s even pretty.
She reunited with such a woman, how could she be displeased?
But she wasn’t uncomfortable, and the discomfort didn’t go away.
“Haha, I brought her because I heard she had a connection with my daughter, and looking at this, I think I made a good decision to bring her.”
It was because Walter Luxsolis created this place.
‘I guess I have to be careful.’
Since she was in this situation not long after receiving the warning, her wariness about him was bound to increase.
Additionally, Stella was warned not to invade, so she couldn’t look into her inner thoughts.
The good news was that the control of Walter Luxsolis, and I was working correctly.
‘Stella is also on my side.’
She was confident that even if she was caught in the author’s evil plan, she could easily defeat it.
Of course, we must not let our guard down.
As I stared at Walter Luxsolis thinking that, he said to me with a shy smile.
“You must be tired first, so please sit down.”
“Yes.”
As soon as Walter Luxsolis spoke, I realized why he had brought Lucien with him.
‘Hey… Is it because I lived so long? It naturally creates a situation that is difficult for the other person to reject.’
It seemed like he had brought Lucien with him for the purpose of removing my justification for refusing.
Of course, it’s just a guess, so we can’t blindly doubt it…
I sat down facing Walter Luxsolis and checked the two elves.
Walter Luxsolis was sitting in a humble posture, unlike Stella, who had an arrogant personality.
And Lucien was standing next to Walter Luxsolis.
The two elves took the form of a family head and heir rather than a father and daughter.
While I was looking at the two elves alternately, Walter Luxsolis opened his mouth and caught my gaze.
“Let me start by saying thank you. “You gave my daughter a lot of help on the first floor?”
After hearing Walter Luxsolis’ words, I remembered something from the past.
The reason Lucien went to the first floor was to find out why the number of summoners climbing had decreased.
At that time, she informed Lucien that the red crescent moon was a shadow, and Lucien parted ways with me as he left to kill the shadow.
And in the process…
“I guess it’s me who should say thank you. I received help before I left, but I couldn’t even say thank you…”
With Lucien’s help, she was able to easily obtain the key to the first floor boss battle.
When I said that, Walter Luxsolis, who was sitting across from me, started laughing happily.
Haha, I knew for a long time that my daughter had great eyesight, but seeing that she had the opportunity to form a relationship with such a good person makes me think she has received Yggdrasil’s blessing.”
“Haha…”
I smiled awkwardly and looked at Lucien’s face.
But there was no smile on the face of Lucien, who I had a relationship with.
At first, I thought it was because of the strict family tradition, but…
Haha… Lucien, at times like this, you should smile a little too. Aren’t the guests who come here feeling uncomfortable?”
“I’m sorry, father. And Seong Su-ho, we apologize for the inconvenience. I’m the type of person who doesn’t laugh very well…”
I thought it was just because Lucien was the type of person who didn’t smile often.
‘But… She said Lucien had a blunt personality.’
It says so in the temperament window.
“I’m fine, don’t worry about it.”
But I started to pay attention to Walter Luxsolis, not Lucien.
‘… ‘Your keen eye is crazy?’
It was true that I had definitely seen Lucien.
However, I only confirmed it using a fleeting moment that went beyond the expression of a glance.
However, Walter Luxsolis caught my gaze and intention in that brief moment and naturally incorporated it into the atmosphere.
Looking at Walter Lux Solis, I remembered the temperament window I had seen earlier when I was guided to the room.
‘I’m glad I saw it in advance.’
There was no particular reason to look into his temperament in advance.
I just watched it in advance because I was bored on the way.
But when I actually saw him in front of me, I thought it was a good idea to look at him in advance.
‘A guy like this would know right away if I turn my eyes to something strange, even for a moment.’
[I don’t think the expression ‘morbid’ came about for nothing.]
I agreed with Armonia’s words and looked back at the temperament window I had looked at earlier.
====================
Walter Luxsolis.
[Martial Arts], [Boredom], [Sick Perseverance], [Excessive Perseverance], [Idealism], [Prudence], [Self-interest], [Honorism], [Cunning], [Pragmatism]…
====================
A mess of temperament that cannot be distinguished as good or evil.
But one thing is certain: Walter Luxsolis…
“You must be tired after coming a long way, so let me get straight to the point.”
As Stella said, it was a person wearing a very thick mask.
“Yes, please tell me.”
In other words, they said they were elves who had to be on guard.
Walter Lux Solis nodded his head and opened his mouth with a gentle smile.
“I heard that the purpose of your visit was a dungeon.”
As Walter Luxsolis said, one of the reasons I visited this place was the dungeon.
To be more precise, it is an item from a dungeon.
“Yes. Do I need to get separate permission to enter?”
Haha, if you were the one who broke into the 5th floor without permission, of course we would stop you…”
Walter Lux Solis continued his speech with a meaningful smile.
“Sung Su-ho, I don’t think there’s any need for that. You are free to use the dungeon as much as you like.”
“… Thank you for saying that.”
I was rather surprised that they gave me permission.
I thought they were trying to use it as an excuse to enter the dungeon, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
However, the fact that the story of the dungeon was brought up as a topic means that it is related to the dungeon…
While I was so puzzled, Walter Luxsolis actually amplified my doubts.
“Do you know how many dungeons our family manages?”
“I don’t know.”
“First of all, we have accurately identified 304 locations.”
“…”
At that moment, swear words almost came out of my mouth.
It’s not that I’m angry, it’s just that it’s so ridiculous.
The absurd facts did not end there.
“For your information, looking at the record that there is a dungeon in a place we cannot currently enter… It is estimated that there are much more.”
“Haha…”
It was so absurd that I burst out laughing of politeness and all.
However, Walter Luxsolis smiled as if he had expected me to be embarrassed.
“From what I see, the reason you want to investigate the dungeon isn’t because of the items?”
“Oh, yeah… That’s right.”
There was nothing to hide, and it was meaningless to hide, so I just answered.
There can be no other reason for entering the dungeon than for items.
Fortunately, in the case of boss dungeons, there are other reasons…
‘Because in the end you will receive an item as a reward.’
All the top-level items and abilities I currently use were obtained by clearing boss dungeons.
Despite my hesitant answer, Walter Luxsolis smiled gently.
And I could understand why he brought up the topic of dungeons.
“If there is an item you want… I think I can help you choose a location.”
“Ah…”
No matter how much the Luxsolis family managed the dungeon on the 5th floor, it was impossible to enter the dungeon.
But that restriction was a restriction imposed a thousand years ago.
“Relevant information is stored in the underground library of the Luxsolis family. Although it is a record from a thousand years ago, there may be some inaccuracies, but it will be helpful.”
The story was that he would tell me something he had recorded a thousand years ago.
It perked my ears.
No matter how much time I had, it was impossible to search through over 300 dungeons one by one.
In addition, Stella told her to come to her and report every time she explored a dungeon…
‘Ugh… If you are unlucky, it will take several years.’
However, if you use the information in the Lux Solis underground library, you will be able to drastically shorten the time.
The problem is…
“… “Can I ask what you want?”
There was no way Walter Luxsolis would open the library without any conditions.
If he were an ordinary elf like Erdin, he would have used his dominance to use the library a long time ago.
But the opponent is not only me, but the only elf who can even refuse Stella’s orders.
When I asked with a wary expression, Walter Luxsolis answered with a humble smile.
“Perhaps because you came all the way up here, you are quick-witted. Let me tell you straight. “What I want are two items.”
“Two?”
Not one, but two?
Let’s be on guard again in case someone wants the item I have…
“For your information, this is an item that can be obtained inside the dungeon.”
Fortunately, there seemed to be no intention to take anything from me.
“I heard that your skills are outstanding. If you can get me two items… “I will allow you to browse the library to your heart’s content.”
“Hmm…”
However, he was openly revealing that he had an agenda.
When I could not easily agree, Walter Luxsolis smiled bitterly and said,
“It’s okay to worry slowly. Isn’t time the most equal thing in the world? “I will wait.”
Walter Lux Solis humbly stood up, perhaps deciding that it was pointless to talk at length.
Then, before leaving, he hinted at me.
“For your information, if you can get the item, I will also tell you how to get to the Divine Realm.”
He left without saying anything.
‘… With that level of information, I think you know what I’m looking for, right?’
I met him for the first time today, and I was worried because he seemed to know me so well.
Let me fill in the empty space of Walter Luxsolis like that…
“I would like to apologize on behalf of my father who passed away suddenly.”
“Uh… ?”
Lucien’s voice was heard.
Only then did I realize how outrageous Walter Luxsolis had been.
He had gone away, leaving his daughter behind.
“Oh, I’m fine. However… Is it okay if I don’t follow my father?”
“Yes, it’s okay. “I think my father left me behind in the first place for the purpose of relieving Seong Su-ho’s discomfort.”
Listening to Lucien’s words, surprisingly, it seemed like the relationship between father and daughter was good.
Lucien continued her words as if she were defending Walter Lux Solis.
“My father enjoys a lighthearted atmosphere, but he does not take his promises lightly. “I will guarantee it.”
It was a very strange situation.
Walter Luxsolis cannot be trusted.
‘An elf who is hard to trust, and Lucien who tells you to trust such an elf…’
But Lucien could be trusted.
Perhaps the reason Walter Luxsolis brought Lucien like this was to persuade me.
No, I probably brought you here from the beginning because I thought it would be helpful from the beginning, middle, and end.
From beginning to end, Lucien’s presence eased my guard.
After a short conversation, I was amazed as I remembered Walter Lux Solis, who left her daughter behind.
‘… ‘You have good political power.’
The problem is that it’s too good to be true.
‘For now, let’s think about that problem slowly.’
I don’t plan on searching the dungeon tomorrow anyway.
So I carefully asked Lucien, who remained in the room.
“If it’s okay, would you like to have a meal with the colleagues you met before?”
At the time when I was on the first floor, Lucien had conversations with not only me but also Min Ha-yeon and Han Bom to get to know her.
Lucien answered with a faint smile for the first time.
“I am fine. I’m worried about whether they will welcome me, but…”
“Is there any reason not to welcome it? Let’s go.”
I took Lucien with me and headed to the room where the party members were gathered.
But before Lucien and I met Ha-yeon Min and Bom Han, we met someone we never expected.
That person is…
“Uh… Uhhhhh…”
It was the middle of summer, pointing and yelling at Lucien.
