Episode 200.
Actually, it didn’t matter if I turned it on.
Even if you turn on the broadcast, it’s unexplored territory so no one will know where this is.
Looking at the surroundings, it would be best to assume that it is near a volcanic area.
And since it’s hard to find with just this much information, you don’t have to worry about your location being revealed.
Even if he said he would share the profits, it was a gain for him, not a loss.
It’s because Jeras has been through so much to Isin, but as a broadcaster, he was a user who knew Isin so well that he couldn’t be overlooked.
If you start a broadcast with a title like or , you will make a lot of money even if the broadcast time is not long.
“…? Then why not?”
“Because there are other problems.”
“… … ?”
But there was another problem.
The location won’t be revealed, but… .
No matter what happens, it becomes known that Isin is related to Jeras and Kim Hyun-seong.
This means that they are not simply ‘perpetrators’ and ‘victims’, but are close enough to explore unexplored territory together.
And this inevitably led to the attention of the remaining victims being focused on them.
Because up until now, Lee Shin has thoroughly hidden his identity and location.
Naturally, everyone’s attention will be drawn to Jeras and Kim Hyun-seong, who are always on the air and whose locations are known, making them relatively easy to monitor.
Lee Shin wanted to avoid that situation.
“why?”
“It’s a shame.”
If other users’ eyes are on you, you won’t be able to use it comfortably like you do now.
“… … .”
Jeong Yu-ra’s expression became dizzy at this answer from Isin… .
This was sincere.
It’s not easy to find a S-class slave like this who is convenient enough to come right away when called, listens well, and is capable at the same time.
I couldn’t kill the goose that laid the golden eggs just to get some broadcasting revenue.
In Lee Shin’s case, he was not immediately short of income thanks to a mysterious sponsor.
…anyway.
As he walked along with his thoughts wandering around, Isin’s surroundings also began to change little by little.
The golem seemed to be leading the party into a wide, dark cave, but soon the surrounding area began to become increasingly hot.
It was already hot, but now I could feel the hot breath coming out of my nostrils almost every time I breathed in or out.
“Are you okay?”
It was to the point where Lee Shin had to check on Jeong Yu-ra’s condition.
Jeras and Kim Hyun-seong were high level to begin with, and in Lee Shin’s case, his base stats were high, so he had some immunity even in extreme environments… .
Because it wasn’t the case for both of them.
“Me? I’m still okay.”
“Are you okay?”
“uh.”
It was thanks to the high-performance equipment that I had been stealing from other rankers so far.
Since rankers often have to go to such extreme environments, they wear armor with a lot of attribute blocking power.
The equipment’s performance was excellent enough to make up for Jung Yu-ra’s relatively low level and stats.
thud.
The golem walking ahead stopped.
When Isin looked ahead, there was a huge circular space, and in the middle of it was a huge flame golem wrapped in chains.
The guardian golem that guided the group was also large, but this one felt even larger and sturdier than that.
Anyone who looks at it will think that this guy is a boss monster.
As if to put an end to such speculation, a message appeared before Isin’s eyes.
Tiring.
[You have encountered the master of this , the .]
[Facing the strong!]
[Under pressure from the other person…]
[Legends don’t back down easily!]
[ is activated.]
[Dispels the pressure from your opponent.]
“!”
Instinctively, strength entered the hand holding the sword.
I haven’t fought it yet, but… .
If you think about it the other way around, it means that he is strong enough to have his buffs activated before he even fights.
Even the skilled Kim Hyun-seong felt it and glanced at Lee Shin.
The question is what to do now.
Isin frowned.
Even if it wasn’t a warning message, it was a strong-looking opponent.
Since it was an unexplored area and we were meeting an opponent for the first time, we were even more wary because we didn’t have any proper strategies or information.
“… … .”
But it was a bit of a shame to just go back.
If I just go back like this without finding a hunting ground or catching a boss, the time I’ve spent so far will be meaningless.
So, when this person is lost in thought.
-Are you the intruder who killed all the golems I created?
“!”
The other person spoke first.
Isin was startled and raised his head.
‘You were awake!?’
I thought it was a non-preemptive attack monster because it was still even though I entered the boss room… .
No it wasn’t.
It was just that the reaction was a little late.
It was a situation where he couldn’t help but panic, but since he had experienced so many unexpected situations, he instinctively responded the best he could.
“It’s not me?”
-What?
“I just watched. These guys are the ones who killed the golem.”
“… … !?”
“what!!!”
He said this while pointing to Jeras and Kim Hyun-seong next to him almost at the same time as the other person opened their mouths.
Betrayal without even hesitation!
The betrayal was so sudden that the reactions of Kim Hyun-seong and Jeras, who were listening right next to him, were a beat late.
…but.
-Hmm, is that so?
“Yeah. I didn’t do anything.”
-Actually, I was going to make a good offer to the strongest adventurer among these.
“… … is a lie, and in fact it is me. I killed the most golems.”
-Haha, I know. Actually, I saw it all.
‘… … This kid?’
-Actually, if the adventurer comes, there’s something I’d like to ask.
“ask?”
-Okay. Please. Just find something for me.
“Why don’t you do it yourself?”
-Hmm, as you can see, the body is like this.
The golem lifted his massive arm slightly.
Then the iron chain wrapped around my arm came up with a rattling sound.
Yishin nodded in understanding.
“It’s sealed.”
It was a very thin chain compared to its huge body, so I thought it was just something you carry around like an accessory… .
It seemed as if some magical measure had been taken to make it impossible to break or move, unlike its appearance.
The golem nodded.
-That’s right. So it’s a bit difficult to get out of the volcano. The chain isn’t that long, you know.
“Then what you’re looking for is… … .”
-That’s what’s needed to break the seal.
“Hmm.”
Lee Shin was lost in thought.
Can I hear this?
The opponent is a boss monster, but surprisingly, it doesn’t show any hostility towards the user… .
I wasn’t sure if that would be the case even after I was released.
Because the reaction when going to the bathroom and when coming out are bound to be different.
So, when Lee Shin’s worries continue.
The other person spoke first.
-Are you done thinking?
“yet.”
-You’ve been worrying for a long time. What’s the reason?
“Well, there are several things… … First, what is the reward?”
Isin asked.
I thought about it for a long time beforehand, but… .
In fact, if the compensation is good beyond a certain level, it all becomes meaningless.
Even if we release the opponent, the only ones who will suffer are the villagers nearby, but Ishin won’t care about that.
As long as it’s not me!
It was a word that Lee Shin had in his heart.
If the opponent were to push their way into Edgar’s territory and cause damage, that would be impossible no matter how you think about it.
So, if the reward was good, Isin was thinking of just letting the guy go and running away.
The golem thought for a moment and then answered.
-I’ve never really thought about it.
“Then do it now. It’s important.”
-Just tell me what you want.
“You want me to decide?”
-Okay. Anything is fine. I’ll give you whatever I can give you.
Is it really true that anything will work?
Isin asked, wondering if it was true.
“Then give me your golem subordinate.”
-If you’re talking about subordinates, are you talking about the guardian golem that guided you?
“uh.”
-I’ll give it to you.
“… … What?! Really!??!”
Yishin answered in surprise.
That’s understandable, as this was unexpected.
I was planning to first call loudly and then, if the other party refused, lower the price a bit as a favor and negotiate… .
-It’s a golem, so we can just make it again. It’s a bit of a waste, but I can pay you enough to get it released here.
“… … !”
Contrary to expectations, the other person accepted right away!
Then there was no room for hesitation.
Lee Shin nodded and answered.
“Help me.”
-Haha, good idea!
[I accept the quest.]
is the ruler of this volcano.
However, for some reason he is sealed inside a volcano.
Find the item in the village below the volcano that will release him from his seal.
A special item in the form of scissors would help cut his chains.
If you release him from his long seal, he will give you the maximum reward he can give.
But, be careful.
He is a notorious monster who has been attacking villagers and adventurers who approach the volcano for many years.
The townspeople won’t stay still if they find out you’re trying to free him.
Quest Reward: Obtain Guardian Golem.
If the quest fails: No penalty.
“!!”
* * *
After leaving the volcano, Isin headed towards the village.
On the way, Jeras approached and asked.
“What quest is it?”
“Huh? You guys didn’t share it?”
“No, that’s not good. I gave it to you, not the party.”
“ah…….”
Well, I did say at the beginning that I would give the quest to the strongest adventurer.
Since there was still time to spare before heading to the village, Isin gave a brief explanation.
Kim Hyun-seong opened his mouth after hearing Lee Shin’s explanation.
“Isn’t it okay? There’s no penalty. The compensation is also good.”
Lee Shin shook his head.
“They say there’s no penalty, but in reality, it’s almost like there is one. You don’t want to get caught by the townspeople.”
“why?”
“Many people have died to that golem, so if we try to free it, there’ll obviously be chaos.”
“Oh… is that so?”
“I guess so.”
So I was worried.
What if I get caught?
Anyway, I’ll do it because the reward is good, but I also have to think about what to do if I get caught.
Jungyu tilted his head and asked.
“Suddenly? You never used to care about things like this.”
“That’s true, but… … .”
Things are a little different now.
Because it won’t be at a level that the other person can ignore.
Of course, they are people who have settled down in such a harsh place, so even if you don’t know it, they must have some level of military power.
Also, since it is a neighborhood where outsiders rarely come and go, if something happens, it is natural that Lee Shin’s group will be the first to be suspected.
“That’s right.”
“hmm…….”
What should I do when my worries continue?
Lee Shin came up with one way.
“Or, should we change our thinking altogether?”
“huh?”
“They just go there openly.”
“Huh!?”
“therefore…….”
As an outsider, it is difficult to do something without being noticed by anyone, as the townspeople are paying close attention to you.
So, rather than thinking of not getting caught, you’re assuming that you’ll get caught from the start.
Instead, when you get caught, you use the skill to pretend to be someone else.
In the end, there is inevitably risk involved in having to face the opponent… .
And if you can just get out safely, you can leave all the doubts and threats to someone else, so you have nothing to worry about anymore.
Jeong Yu-ra asked.
“But who are you going to do that disguise with?”
The downside of was that it had to be someone that Lee Shin had met often enough to be able to clearly recall the image.
Or even if we only met a few times, there had to be something that left a strong impression on us.
Only then can the skill work properly to create high-quality camouflage.
And there was one person who satisfied both of the above conditions.
A person I met often, and every time I met him, there was something memorable about him.
