God’s Natural Enemy Returns Chapter 179

113. Guardian of Justice (2)

“that…….”

Sihyeon expressed that he ‘brought out the right power’.

In simple terms, it was a request to raise the proficiency of the items Sihyeon had.

You need to raise your proficiency to S or SS level to be able to bring out ‘true power’.

From a macro perspective, that wasn’t wrong.

“It’s a little ambiguous… … .”

“But if it’s a chance to explore the items of God… … .”

“It’s a good opportunity.”

Three Kings.

Kwoong, Houng, and Raung thought about it for a while, then came together and spoke to Sihyeon.

“We’re a little busy, you know.”

“I need to repay the favor, so I’ll take it slow.”

“Okay. Let me start by catching up on the work that’s piled up.”

In fact, it was a huge achievement for the dwarf kings to just make such a suggestion.

Only dwarves can raise item proficiency like crazy.

It was a promise made by the ‘kings’, who were the most outstanding craftsmen among them.

Of course, ordinary human players.

For the nearby orcs, elves, and even gods, it was like trying to reach for a needle in a haystack to get such an opportunity.

Because the dwarves would have rejected any god or grace if they didn’t like it.

‘The dwarves were also interested. If they didn’t want to decide, they would have just said they’d give them items. Yeah. That alone wasn’t enough motivation to begin with.’

Sihyeon, who saw that sight, took something out of Kibisis.

[Equip the item, ‘Guardian of Justice (SS)’.]

Phaaaat!

The three kings’ eyes widened when they saw the pure white hammer in Sihyeon’s hand.

“uh?”

“Uh, that one?”

“Could it be… a defender of justice?”

The legendary hammer used by the first dwarves, the Guardian of Justice.

As dwarves are sensitive to legends and myths, they recognized it right away.

“Are you interested?”

Gulp.

The three kings remained silent.

I was just looking at the hammer.

“I was going to give this to the fastest and most powerful person… … Well, if you have something to do, then there’s nothing I can do.”

“What do you want me to do? Give it to you quickly! Quickly!”

“Then it’s not fun.”

Sihyeon’s eyes lit up when she saw the dwarves.

[The knowledge of the item, ‘Draupnir (C)’ begins to shine.]

[Activate Odin’s 14th rune magic, ‘Rune Magic: Rune of Intuition (??)’.]

[Get information on the King of Clothes, Raung.]

‘They’re both kings?’

The result was confirmed with the Rune of Insight.

The other two dwarves that Kowong brought were kings.

The land of the dwarves, the Crystal Maze.

The largest land-based palace there is made up of three royal palaces.

A hammer whose main job is weapons.

An accessory maker whose main business is jewelry.

Cloth, whose main occupation is making clothes and armor.

Of course, all three are good at making items from other fields, but each has outstanding talent and skills in their own field.

‘The core of the Crystal Maze’s power has all been gathered together… … . Alright.’

After seeing the information about the dwarves, Sihyeon distributed the items without hesitation.

Astraphe, Kibisis, and the Thousand-Armed Sword are given to Kohung, the King of Hammer.

For Houng, the king of accessories, there are Draupnir, Kundala, and Solomon’s Ring.

Raung, the king of Cloth, was given the fallen glory, the veil of night, and the sun disk.

“Remember, only one person will survive.”

“Only one person survived?”

“What does that mean?”

“I will award the ‘Guardian of Justice (SS)’ to the person who awakens the power of these items the most. Can’t this sacred hammer be split into three?”

At Sihyeon’s words, the gazes of the three kings of the Underground met in midair.

‘Competition is… … .’

‘Not familiar.’

‘If only we had that hammer… …our royal family might stand tall.’

Even without the honor or power of the royal family.

This was nothing more than a battle of pride between the three kings of the Underground.

There wasn’t any real competition because the fields in which items were usually made were different.

Things were different now.

Because we were given three items equally.

There is a competitive spirit at work, and the rewards are generous.

It was almost as if the eyes of the Three Kings of the Underground were rolling over.

“good!”

“Keep your promises!”

“You must protect it!”

“I can’t lose to those two rascals.”

“It’s annoying! It’s so small!”

Before handing over all the items.

Sihyeon split Astraphe without anyone knowing.

[Item, ‘Astrape (A)’ is split.]

Although it was only the smallest piece that Astraphe could tear off, it was usable right away.

‘If you give me as many pieces as possible, Koung will be able to further increase Astrape’s proficiency.’

Now that the fire of competition has been lit, those three will be leveling up their item proficiency like crazy.

They have the skills to do it, and there are plenty of materials here.

There was nothing to worry about.

“Then we… … .”

“I’ll go right away!”

Hurry up.

So Houng and Raung quickly disappeared with the items.

-Hey! Lee Si-hyeon!

I tried to ignore the voice of Mehen coming from far away.

“Yeah. I have to pick up the hammer too. I can’t lose to those two guys.”

Kohung laughed heartily.

“Please take care of me.”

“I am the one who needs to take good care of you.”

As a result, each of the three kings was given an item.

All the nobles, commoners, and dwarves under his command were obsessed with strengthening Shihyeon’s items.

Their respective kings called them, and there was no way for them to refuse.

The fact that you can directly explore items that contain the power of ‘God’ was appealing.

Above all else.

The fact that the ‘Guardians of Justice (SS),’ known only in myths, could be incorporated into the royal family.

It began to burn the dwarves’ spirit of craftsmanship.

***

“The dwarves are a race that, once they turn their eyes like that, there’s no turning back.”

Because Kohung took his three dwarven concubines with him and used them for work.

Now the only Hammer royal family member to welcome Shihyeon was his wife and queen, Lynn.

‘The core of power now is this elf.’

Fisherman’s fortune.

It wasn’t a perfect idiom for the situation, but there was no expression that could describe the situation better.

While dwarves of all ages and genders are crazy about crafting.

The only elf who was not a dwarf and was a royal family member, ‘Lynn’, was able to seize full power.

This kind of thing happened quite often, so much so that there was even talk that Lin was the most powerful person in the Crystal Palace.

“That hammer… … I guess it holds some great meaning?”

“That’s right. I didn’t know either, but seeing that kind of reaction.”

Hororok.

Sihyeon took a sip of elf tea and smiled at Lin.

Sihyeon originally liked to drink his drinks cold, but in this hot place, ice was quite precious.

‘If I had a glass of water, I could have iced drinks.’

A week after leaving the items with the dwarves.

According to Sihyeon’s confirmation, Cheon Yuri and Gasal had not yet arrived at the Sujeong Palace.

Originally, it was planned that Cheon Yuri would bring Gasal to the Crystal Palace while Sihyeon cleared the Illusion Maze.

The location where you enter the Crystal Maze is random, and the size of the place itself is so huge.

It seemed like it would take some time.

‘If it’s a house, I guess I’ll be able to find it here.’

Thinking like that, Sihyeon drank the tea again.

“It has a deep flavor, probably because it was brewed with the leaves of the world tree.”

“Right? Even if you just put in a piece of the World Tree leaf, it will be very flavorful. It will stimulate the taste buds on your tongue and make you feel the ‘most delicious taste.’”

“Oh… … .”

Because that was something I didn’t know.

Sihyeon was amazed.

Of course, from the perspective of players who are not elves, no one would have thought of brewing tea with the precious ‘World Tree Leaves’.

“Have you ever met our elves?”

“… … Yes. They were a good race.”

After exchanging a few words of conversation.

Sihyeon could tell that Lin was not of ordinary blood.

“I wonder if you’ve ever met your father? I guess you couldn’t meet him if he were human.”

“Who is your father?”

“I am Wisdombeard, the elf elder. When I came here as a bride, I received items from the dwarves as a dowry, and sometimes I stole them.”

Cool!

The person who threatened Sihyeon using the World Tree as an excuse to steal the items.

Wisdombeard, the core of elven power.

Hearing news of him from an unexpected place, even Sihyeon couldn’t help but be slightly flustered.

“Oh my? Why are you coughing all of a sudden?”

“I heard a rumor.”

Lin, who had been passing it off as if it was nothing, started chatting away in her usual way.

“I originally wanted to become an elder. But, Koung, I fell for this man’s passion. So… … .”

Surprisingly enough, Kohung and Lin were married for love, not for political reasons.

Even externally, they did not match, and elves and dwarves were like enemies.

Sihyeon couldn’t help but be surprised by this fact.

‘The love story between the dwarf king, Kow, and Wisdombeard’s daughter… … isn’t it interesting?’

So, I heard a different version of the Romeo and Juliet story.

The day was already almost over.

‘Good.’

The relationship between Sihyeon and the elves was not very good.

Not only did he send Elder Rammia to the Iron Maze to try to wipe out the humans.

The fact that troops were being steadily sent to Gangwon Province was proof of this.

‘That daughter… … ‘

It was fortunate that Lin and Han-2 were unable to contact each other while in the Crystal Maze.

“Then I will go now.”

“Oh, the king asked me to convey this.”

Lin winked and handed me a key.

“He said he would ‘rent’ me the item I wanted.”

“Thank you.”

After receiving the key, Sihyeon greeted Lin.

I headed to the basement of the Crystal Palace, guided by a stone man guarding the gate.

“There is one thing to note.”

“yes.”

While walking down the basement like that.

The stone man said to Sihyeon.

“Every item you take out from the place I guide you through is ‘rented.’ That is, until you return the items you left behind.”

“is it so?”

A normal person would have felt regretful.

Sihyeon actually liked this fact.

‘Since I’m borrowing it anyway, I should use good items.’

Because there was no way to know how much or how much the dwarves would refine the items of the gods.

In the meantime, I had to find some usable items.

“There are a total of three items you can take out. Have a nice time.”

When we got to the basement like that.

The stone man gave up his seat.

Crunch.

I put the key that Lin gave me in and turned it.

The basement door opened, and a blinding light poured out.

‘What is this…?’

The dwarves’ secret storehouse.

Sihyeon, who came here, was so surprised that he couldn’t close his mouth.

“wow.”

The secret warehouse that Cosio, the stationmaster of Change Station, had taken us to was on a completely different level.

It was overflowing with items that could be called ‘masterpieces’, not items collected by the stone people, but items that were collected and made by the dwarves.

Items that ordinary players would never see even if they survived their entire lives were strewn about, running wild underfoot.

“Hmm… … .”

Sihyeon, lost in happy worries, looked at the items.

“then.”

First of all, Sihyeon currently has almost none of the items she used to use.

In this situation, it was necessary to check what I had.
