Chapter 218
“This… …
Team leader Choi’s eyelids trembled as he looked at the [Yeti’s necklace] for a long time.
“You are angry.”
He doesn’t usually express his emotions so openly.
Lim Kkeok-jeong, who was still crouching down, asked with a curious expression.
“Chief Choi, what’s wrong? Any problem?”
“there is. A big problem.”
Team leader Choi bit his lip and continued.
“The lack of supply of this beautiful product. This is the biggest problem that deserves criticism from people all over the world.”
“… … ah.”
“Look. This artistic figure expressing icicles! A magic function that retains the coldness of the snowy field!”
Team Leader Choi, who had been praising the leader, no, the necklace, as fervently as a North Korean TV announcer, turned his head toward me.
“What do you think, Jin Tae-kyung?”
“Me?”
Where, how, and what should I say?
The trouble was short-lived. A calm and gentle voice came out that surprised even me.
“I am angry too.”
“Why are you like that?”
“No, just.”
Team leader Choi, who looked at me with strange eyes, continued.
“I feel a bit strange”
“is it so?”
I rubbed my chin. His beard, which had begun to poke his head out, was rough. The touch was unfamiliar, like someone else’s flesh.
“Is it because I didn’t shave?”
“Jin Tae-kyung, by any chance… … Team leader Choi was about to say something when Won Myung-hun approached with a friendly smile.
“Hey, that’s great. You, Taekyung, fought really well.”
“… … is it so?”
“Looking at spearmanship, it seems to be completely different from the textbook I made. Did you learn it at the training camp?”
“no. Just this and that.”
“this and that? It’s not at that level, but I don’t know if this will catch up with you in a few years.
I raised the corner of my mouth without saying a word, and as no one laughed along, the laughter slowly faded. It should be embarrassing, but Won Myung-hoon naturally changed the topic.
Such a series of appearances were as smooth as a drama scene on TV.
“But what were you doing?”
The mouth is questioning, but the two eyes are already preoccupied with grasping the facts. Team leader Choi’s eyes glanced at the [Yeti necklace] he was holding.
“I was looking at the necklace you lent me. Manager Choi is very interested in this.”
“Chief? but. It seemed so.”
If Won Myung-hoon wears fancy luxury goods all over his body, Team Manager Choi is the opposite.
Luxury is luxury, but should it be classy and neat? Anyway, just looking at what I usually wear, I can’t help but notice that there is a lot of interest in this side.
However, Won Myung-hun’s interest was elsewhere.
“So, how about you take a look?”
Chief Choi replied.
“Seeing it in person is much nicer. Please contact me if you are interested in selling it in the future.”
“Sorry, but I don’t think that will happen. It’s something I personally cherish a lot.”
It’s something I personally love… … .
As I pondered his words, I suddenly opened my mouth.
“Looks like something important.”
“Then it is very important.”
“I see.”
I held out the [Yeti necklace] toward Won Myung-hun.
“I will return it now.”
”huh?”
“He said it was something important to him.
After hearing what Manager Choi said, the price seems very expensive.”
“Are you not getting it?”
The necklace in my hand swayed and made a metallic sound.
There was a very brief silence, and a faint smile appeared on Won Myung-hun’s lips as he stared at me.
“Tae Kyung.”
“yes.”
“Brother said. I value relationships between people more than things.”
“A relationship between people.”
“okay. The same goes for the guild members who came with me today. They are the people who have been with me during my hardest times.”
“You mean eight years ago?”
“… … Well, that’s right. Anyway, what my brother wants to say is, don’t worry too much. How precious is that necklace? is not it?”
Won Myung-hoon tapped my shoulder with his large palm. Unlike me, his palms were soft and his fingernails were long.
I suddenly feel that way. Maybe this person in front of me might not be the one I knew.
“Yeti’s necklace, actually, it’s a gift.”
“A gift?”

“okay. A present from my brother to you.”
Every time Won Myung-hoon gets close to me, I smell a strong perfume.
“So you shouldn’t give it to anyone, okay?”
“Tae Kyung?”
I put on the necklace and answered.
yes. I won’t let anyone touch it.”
belt ring.
-You have equipped [Yeti’s Necklace].
– The snowy wind comes out of the necklace.
Feeling the wind of the snowfield wrapping my body, I remembered the item information window I had seen just five minutes ago.
[Yeti’s Necklace]
Type: ornament
Rating: Climax
Restrictions: none
Effect: [Wind of Snowfield] Effect activation description: A necklace that only a very good warrior yeti can possess, but in fact, it is a shackle that proves that it is a slave and edible livestock of the dragon tribe in the past.
Anyone who owns this item becomes a target for dragon monsters regardless of race.
‘It’s a target.’
It’s never a pleasant word.
In many ways.
Time at the gate passed slowly.
After traveling for a full day and a half, we left the jungle and entered the wasteland, but the green wyvern that appeared first and the group of orcs I dealt with were the first monsters I had encountered so far.
And now the trolls the others were dealing with were all.
– Wow!
An unusually large head that is one head taller than an adult male.
Trolls are monsters with very good regeneration. It was also the reason why it was used as the main ingredient in healing potions like licorice in drugstores.
Even if you cut off your arms and legs, it will regenerate in just a few seconds, so it’s bound to be difficult to deal with.
However, the Star Guild members were also formidable veterans.
“head! Go for the head!”
“Fire magic!”
Awesome! Roaring!
In the early days of Cataclysm, they were notorious as immortal monsters, but the troll’s weakness was soon exposed.
‘Head and heart. In addition to that, magic. ‘Unless it’s an undead monster, it’s natural to die if your breath stops.
Trolls had formidable regenerative powers, enough to restore their heads and hearts, but they were not immortal monsters.
If you freeze it with ice or burn it with fire before regenerating it, there is no other way for them.
“Dealer, stick and slice!”
“Waiting for the wizard!”
Shh shh shh! Puck!
– Aaaaaa!
The body of the troll, missing an arm and a leg, collapsed backwards.
Soon after, the sharp blade of an ax from Halberd cut through the man’s neck, which was clumped with fat and muscle.
thump!
The shape of the troll, whose shoulders were empty, fluttered. Soon, new flesh began to build up over the wound.
Now, in a minute or so, it will have a new neck.
Of course, they weren’t the star guild members waiting until then.
“Zero!”
Roaring! Suagh!
Bone-freezing cold and skin-burning flames.
The troll’s body, which failed to regenerate, trembled once and then couldn’t move again.
“Clear Group 3!”
“Help here! Play this guy!”
The situation ended quickly as we faced each other in a group of three.
In the stench of burning flesh and fat, Won Myeong-hun muttered as he watched the battle from ten meters away.
Her voice was so low that no one could hear it because of the noise of the battle, but to me it was as clear as talking right next to me.
“Make sure the kids smell it. I’ll freeze it if possible.”
“her.”
I barely held back the laughter that was about to leak out.
who said that Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, and a comedy in long-shot.
However, the battle with monsters is a tragedy no matter where you look.
A situation where you could lose your life in an instant, nothing more than the smell of burning troll flesh.
‘Because it’s a hundred times better than smelling incense from behind a folding screen.’
But to Won Myung-hun, it was someone else’s business.
He cursed in a low voice with his forehead furrowed, but suddenly he felt his gaze and turned his head towards me.
Oh, Tae-kyung.”
A warm voice, a smooth forehead as if it had never happened.
Everything was natural, and that made it feel all the more abnormal.
“Why, do you have something to say?”
I don’t know why it sounds like ‘Did you hear everything I said?’
I answered calmly without showing any signs.
“yes.”
“okay? What?”
“I’m feeling a little sick to my stomach. It was fine at first… … Strangely, it’s been like that since I came here. I tried healing magic, but it doesn’t get much better.”
“ah. that.”
Won Myung-hun smiled.
“It’s because you’re new to the A-level gate. Because the amount of mana distributed inside the gate is different.”
“aha.”
“All beginners are like that. What am I, I’m used to it.”
It’s a fact I already know, but I exclaimed as if I had heard it for the first time in my life.
“Then I’ll get used to it next time too, right?”
“next?”
Won Myung-hoon, whose lips were twitching, nodded.
“yes. I will get used to it even more next time.”
“I wish I could come with you then.”
“Well, I don’t know when it will be time again either. There are so many different schedules.”
“Don’t you have time to play a raid?”
“I don’t know Taekyung yet, but guild leaders like hyung are all busy. Overall, the guild needs to be coordinated.”
“iced coffee.”
“You know the difference between a performer and a conductor, a maestro, right?”
I suddenly asked Won Myung-hun, who pretended to wave a baton as if he were acting.
“Then, did you go to the department store for a guild-related meeting?”
”huh?”
“There was an article on the Internet. what was the title of the article Oh, I remembered.”
Looking at Won Myung-hoon, who was at a loss for words for a moment, he continued to speak clearly.
“I think it was titled something like “Sweeping Out the Brand Names of Won Myung-hoon, a rising star hunter.”
“… … Was there an article like that?”
“To the Hunter community, just a moment. It was deleted in 5 minutes.”
“That, is it? Didn’t you see it wrong?”
yes. There is one rice bug who doesn’t study these days and just browses the internet. If an article comes out, let me know right away.”
A dimple hollowed out on Won Myung-hun’s handsome face. However, he was not the bright smile we had seen on TV in the past.
“I can’t do that.”
“Yes?”
“of course. I like shopping, but not to that extent. At most, I might go once a month.”
“I heard the photos were uploaded.”
“You know Dispass, right? A site specializing in searching for celebrities, I also got an interview with a department store official there. There was no trace of the dimples that had disappeared before I knew it.
“Tae Kyung. You don’t believe that, do you?”
“Ah, that must be frowned upon. Hyung is busy coordinating the guild schedule. Maestro.”
“… … Yes, Maestro.”
It was at that time Won Myung-hun stared at me with dry eyes as I pretended to shake the baton vigorously.
“older brother! No, CEO!”
The protagonist of the cry that resonated in the endless wasteland of soil, sand, and curved rocky hills was the leader of Team 1 of the Star Guild.
The man who went on scouting to find the invisible wyvern from earlier came back.
However, unlike his leisurely start, his face was white as he ran like crazy.
“what’s the matter? What about the other kids?”
Team 1 stuttered at Won Myung-hun’s question.
“That, that, that.”
It was enough not to listen to the back story.
Seven departed, but only one returned. Drops of blood spattered on his face and armor made the guess certain.
“This bastard. Don’t talk straight!”
The first team leader flinched at the thunderous shout.
“Wyvern, I found a wyvern.”
“Wyvern? How many?”
“Ha, one.”
“what? one animal?”
If it’s an A-class hunter and six B-class hunters, it’s a composition that can deal with about one wyvern.
But six died and ran away alone.
“Are you saying that? Are you kidding me?”
“They are all dead. She apparently used stealth magic and approached… … He noticed.”
“What bullshit is that! How does the wyvern know that!”
right, tight.
A word came out of his mouth as he clenched his teeth with fearful eyes.
“Yes, Named Monster.”
“The named monster is clear. here… … It’s a mutation gate.”
Class A mutation gate. And named monsters.
None of us knew what the two words meant.
In the suffocating silence, someone muttered in an inaudible voice.
“What the f*ck… … “
