Chapter 771 – Guardian of the Dungeon
Seong-il takes out the fortune teller’s gold coin and flicks it out of his hand for the first time in a long time after seeking the Draco Rich’s consent. Fortunately, when the affirmation that it is okay to tell the truth appears, Seong-il breathes a sigh of relief.
『Ohh… A mighty law of causality is woven into it. Isn’t that a great artifact?』
As a master of magic, a dracolich recognizes the value of a fortuneteller’s gold coin at a glance. Seong-il smiles awkwardly and starts giving him a warning. He asks if you are willing to accept that the information he is about to present could confuse you.
『Hmm… Is this information more shocking than when I realized the regression?』
“Maybe it’s worse.”
“Interesting. Give it to me.』
Seong-il warns the Draco Rich about the truth once again and starts editing his memories by injecting the information of his life into the memory beads.
Now that he has had the experience of delivering memory beads to quite a few different NPCs, Seong-il engraves information into the memory beads by extracting and editing the memories, focusing on the points that those who read his memories considered important.
Originally, it would be a difficult and difficult task to the extent that his brain would burn out, but fortunately, Seong-il succeeded in extracting his memories cleanly and perfectly without difficulty because a rare fraudulent nanomachine called Deus Ex Machina has settled in his body.
“The beads contain my memories. Read the memories contained within.”
『I understand.』
The dracolich obediently pulls the unknown artifact handed over by Seongil with his telekinesis and brings it to himself. Using an unknown artifact without knowing it is a taboo among taboos as a wizard, but he seems to be quite confident in using the artifact handed to him by Seongil.
“This…”
Shocking sights from beyond the memory marbles. Just like NPCs in other worlds did. The shocking sight surprises even the Dracolich, who have lived countless lives. However, like a great being, a dracolich quickly resolves chaos and finds stability.
『Really… Was that so.』
‘What is that?’
Seong-il waits for him to speak with a curious expression at the response of the Dracolich, which is slightly different from the previous NPCs. However, when Rich doesn’t seem to have any intention of opening his mouth, Seong-il can’t hold back his curiosity and asks him questions.
“I think you are too calm to see something quite shocking. Why did you do that?”
“Huh? I’m not shy. Half of my soul has been ripped off and my emotions have become numb, so it just looks that way.”
“…”
Apparently, half of the soul was torn off, and the body was a corpse, so the senses were dull and the reaction was weak, but it seems that the dracolich was not shocked. In fact, Seong-il could feel that he was shaking a little when he looked at the magical pattern or naturalization of the Dracolich, which he had not been paying attention to because he was only focusing on his expression.
『This world might be a play world created by great beings…』
“…Can I ask you an honest question?”
Seong-il asks for the Dracolich’s understanding and then asks about his honest feelings. He knows he’s being rude, but compared to other mortals, the Draco Lich has lived a great life as an apostle of dragons and gods, has great wisdom, and has strong mental strength. .
“Ah, ask me. I gave away such great information without paying anything in return, and I can answer any number of questions like that.”
“…Why do people look like they’ve realized something after seeing my conversation with Space Cosmic Kitty? Everyone is looking for peace of mind from that point on. Is there something I don’t know about?”
『Oh, you mean that great being?』
“Yes.”
Since it’s something I’ve been curious about for a really long time, Seong-il is rude, but persistently asks the Dracolich about it. Then, Richie gives Seongil a shocking answer.
“Do you remember what he said? The saying, ‘Small infinity and large infinity are infinite in the end’ and ‘sometimes the truth doesn’t matter’.
“…Why is that?”
『The great warrior… No, the true apostle appointed by the gods of the gods, why do you think this game world is a ‘fake’?』
“…!!”
Dracolich’s shocking remark hit Seongil’s brain hard. Seong-il thought that the game world was an elaborate virtual world created by the game master, so he was deeply shocked by the words of the dracolich.
『Well… I’m not an apostle of the great being called ‘Game Master’, so I don’t have any contact with him, so it’s hard to dare to guess the truth. But I mean. You should seriously think about it. Is this really a ‘game’?”
“No… No… I’ve actually played games related to this world? There are actually games related to the real world I live in.”
『I guess so. Then you can just think of this place as a game from now on.”
“…”
When the dracolich responds indifferently to Seong-il’s excuses, Seong-il looks puzzled as he can’t understand his intentions. Looking at him like that, the Dracolich sighed lightly and continued talking to him.
『If a small, feeble insect-like being like me dares to guess the will of a great being, the approaching end will ultimately be only destruction. The great sages of other worlds you met know that too, so they must not have told you their opinions.”
“…”
“Don’t be too impatient. Judging from the memories I’ve read about you, there’s a high possibility that sooner or later the truth will come to you. Well, at that time, was this really a fake world elaborately crafted by the game master? Or you will be able to know what the real world is.”
Having said that, the Draco Rich does not deny that he is a materialized piece of data. He advises Seong-il not to listen too much to his opinion, as he thinks that the game master may have ‘set it up’ so that beings like him do not suffer extreme confusion.
“That’s not what’s important right now.”
After muttering that, the Dracolich observes the holy day and makes an unconventional proposal to him with a serious attitude.
『I’ve become like this, how about taking me to your world?』
“…To?”
Meeting the Dracolich was to gain benefit from him, not to take him from here, so Seong-il puts on a puzzled look at his sudden remark.
『Anyway, you, the great warrior, can’t tell me about the multiple inner world. Wouldn’t it be better to have me meet the archmage named ‘Lucel’ and help me to resolve my decision?”
“That’s true, but…”
『Use the pineapple house of the dimension to invite him to the new world you created for a while and let him meet me. Then I’ll be able to share some knowledge with him for a while. I promise you. Apart from the deal with you, if I meet him this time, I promise to give him an additional reasonable price.”
“Um…”
Quite reasonable Dracolich’s words. In the past, it would have been unimaginable to bring him, a mighty undead and dragon, to his world, but now his skills are already close to that of a semi-transcendant. With his trustworthy colleagues, he thinks it’s good enough to take the Dracolich.
“Okay. Then I’ll invite you into our world, until we share our vision.”
The pineapple house of the dimension installed in reality has already been recovered, and the pineapple house of the insufficient dimension is a problem that can be solved by returning the Mythology Academy faculty to their own world for a while, so Seong-il decides to accept Dracolich’s proposal.
“…That’s how it happened. Can you help me?”
Seong-il does not hesitate to deal with what has already happened, so he immediately moves to the world of dolls and meets Ruchel to talk with her. At Seong-il’s opinion, Lucille seems to be very interested.
“You mean there is no particular effect on my world?”
“That’s right. After inviting Ruchel-sama to our world, we can freeze the timeline for a while.”
『Ah, then it shouldn’t be a problem.』
Just in time to take a picture of the coordinates of the inner plane near the location where Ruchel is, Seong-il moves to the place where he is.
In the past, it should have taken several days, but Seong-il can now naturally use floating and acceleration after learning Jung Tian Jin-kyung and Transformation, so he succeeds in catching up with him in just two days.
‘Fuck… I still need a ride. It’s also a killing mount.’
While muttering like that, Seong-il senses the presence of Ruchel nearby and looks around.
