Alone Full Level Newbie - Episode 23
23The Holy Woman of Amsterdam
The owner of the voice is a saint wearing white armor..
It was Teresa..
Seeing him out of breath, it looks like he came to clear out the Dullahans in the front and help the back..
Jinhyuk looked at Teresa with a slightly surprised expression..
‘The guys in the guild are making a fuss about living among themselves.…….’
It's unexpected.
I don’t think I got the nickname “saint” for nothing..
“Can I talk to this person for a moment??”
Teresa asked Kim So-mi, whose eyes were wide open..
“yes? Yes, yes! Sure.”
Kim So-mi nodded vigorously..
Then he got up from his seat and quickly disappeared behind a rock..
Just the two men, Teresa opened her mouth..
“you… … Have you taken out all the Dullahan??”
A tone of caution.
That's bound to happen.
The average rank of players who participated as porters is E~F..
Of course, I have no choice but to stay away from the battle..
However, he single-handedly defeated the Dullahan, which was difficult for even B-class fighters to deal with.?
It's ridiculous to say it's a coincidence..
“First of all, I am the one who dealt with the Dullahan..”
“Are you hiding your identity? Why??”
“Because everyone has personal circumstances. Me too…….”
Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders..
At the same time, the broken sentence was completed..
“So do you.”
“……what is that.”
Teresa's eyes shook slightly..
It was a slight tremor that an ordinary person would not notice..
‘okay. If you're an ordinary person.’
Jinhyuk smiled brightly and continued..
“Actually, I didn't understand it at first. Why did a ranker like you give up on conquering the boss and come here? It was difficult for me to understand.”
Attack the upper levels of the tower with guaranteed enormous rewards and honor..
Teresa chose ruins, ignoring that golden opportunity..
reason?
Is there only one more??
Of course, this is because the reward you can get here is greater than what you get when you attack the boss monster on the 3rd floor..
And Jinhyuk already knew what it was..
“Isn’t the reason you chose this place to do a job quest??”
“……!?”
This time, Teresa couldn't control her expression either..
As if I had been slapped, my face was stained with embarrassment..
‘Very few people know that the ruins are the location for the paladin's advancement quest.…….’
In the normal route, the paladin's job change quest takes place on the 6th floor..
However, because I wanted to get ahead of others,.
Teresa purchased information from the 'black market', which is run only by those who have climbed the Tower of Trials more than 10 floors..
For a moment, Teresa’s eyes narrowed..
‘If that's the case then surely…….’
Is this man also one of the members of the black market??
You should check it out.
Are you just thinking about bits and pieces of information you picked up from somewhere?.
Or do you really know everything?.
“that's right. The reason I've been hiding it until now is because I need to go to the place where Apostle John's oath is, but I haven't figured out exactly where it is yet..”
Teresa opened up about the purpose and reason.
of course.
A status window with slightly different content appeared in front of Jinhyuk’s eyes..
[‘The ‘Eye of Truth’ is activated..]
[Teresa's statement is 'false'.]
cute.
‘Are you thinking of trying to scare me?.’
Jinhyuk chuckled..
“It's not John's, it's the apostle Peter's oath. And of course it would be a lie to say that you don't know the exact location..”
I should have already found the place where the pledge is before I came here..
The reason I'm still hesitating is probably because the road to where the pledge is located is so rough..
Thousands of types of traps were closer to chaos rather than specific rules..
Plus, having an army of over a thousand undead was a bonus..
“really… … You knew everything..”
Teresa finally admitted.
good.
Now we can move on to the next step..
“Actually, I also have some business to see where the pledge is. Oh, of course I'm aiming for something other than the pledge..”
“Are you asking me to go with you??”
“He said he would go with me..”
Jinhyuk drew the line..
“I perfectly know the location of the trap and its strategy. Well, it doesn't matter if they go with the players from Zion as per the original plan, but I don't know. No matter how lucky you are, everyone but you will die.?”
But you can't do that.?
A noble hero whose name is a saint..
If you say you lost all your friends and survived alone, you're tarnishing your name..
Even if you succeed in changing your job, the public's reaction will be cold..
“……Let me think about it..”
“As much as you want.”
Think about it all day.
There will be only one conclusion anyway.
‘Give me a pledge and I'll take care of the rest..’
I wasn't interested in the oath of Peter, a former paladin, but the other items there were quite desirable..
‘‘Frozen Tears’ and ‘Mahon Dan’’
okay. It's best to get these two.
In fact, I wanted this more than the holy relic..
In particular, 'frozen tears' are crystals called the essence of magical power, and when absorbed, they have the effect of significantly increasing the absolute value of magical power..
‘Increasing horsepower is one of the top priorities that must be solved for me..’
Nowadays, the magic consumption of frequently used skills is not large..
As the skill level increased and higher skills were combined, the importance of the total amount of magical energy could not be emphasized enough..
‘Originally, I was going to give up because there was no way to break the curse of cold.…….’
Now that Teresa's existence has been confirmed, the strategy has changed..
This is because Teresa, who knows how to handle the sacred class, could alleviate the coldness of frozen tears..
“Before you decide, can I ask you just one thing??”
Teresa, who was worried, opened her mouth..
“tell me.”
“The person who killed the guards and woke up the guardian earlier... … Is it you?”
Hoo.
Will this continue like this?.
‘Well, from Teresa's point of view, I must be the most suspicious person among the current raiders..’
Because I had a lot to hide and I knew too many things..
Well, I could explain it in detail here, but.
That's not my taste.
More than anything, it was annoying.
Jinhyuk chose a simpler and more direct method..
“I understand your suspicions given the circumstances, but I am not the criminal..”
“Are you telling me to just believe what you say??”
“yes. Above all, there is clear evidence right before our eyes..”
“What evidence? What does that mean??”
“If I am the culprit who killed the guards and woke up the guardian…….”
think about it carefully.
“I would have killed you instead of having this annoying conversation..”
There are much easier ways than plausible excuses..
＊＊＊
Teresa's solo action was met with strong opposition..
This is because Song Cheon-hwa, the head of the engineering department, was horrified and opposed it..
“Absolutely not! Now I have to gather my strength and move forward, but I can't act alone.!”
It might be anyone else, but it's not as good as Teresa, who can be said to be the core of the raid..
But Teresa also had no intention of backing down easily..
“There is a map up to 20km of the ruins. Everyone knows the strategy. Nothing much will change without me.”
From the past when Tower of Trials was a game to now that it has become a reality.
After numerous attempts, players were able to create a map of the ruins..
So that you can proceed at least from the entrance to the 20km point without much risk..
“Above all, didn't our contract and the raid leaders of each guild maintain the same authority as each other until the boss battle??”
“Yeah, that's it…….”
As I questioned each detail, Song Cheonhwa stuttered..
Because there is nothing wrong with any of it..
at last.
After a long sigh, Song Cheon-hwa allowed Teresa to act alone..
“Phew. All right. However, you must return before reaching the end of the map..”
“yes. Until then, I'll join you again..”
Teresa nodded..
“ah! and… … . Can I bring just one person to help me as a porter??”
“That's it, do whatever you want..”
Song Cheon-hwa waved his hands roughly, as if he had lost his energy due to the war of words..
It's a small thing, but with a helpless face, as if it's okay.
The porters who caught Teresa's gaze trembled slightly..
Accompanying the Ranker.
This is not luck or chance.
Rather, it's a first-class ticket to hell..
-They're probably trying to drag me to a very dangerous place, damn it. Guys like us will never come back.
-please, please i can't.
-Let's not make eye contact. If you make eye contact, you're in trouble..
-I have a wife and children to feed at home..
Everyone prayed earnestly in their hearts..
I hope it's not just you.
right then.
Teresa's finger pointed between the porters..
＊＊＊
It was Jinhyuk who was pointed out..
And Jinhyuk said that of course he would go together..
“I don't know what you're thinking... … . As someone who has lived close to 50 lines, let me tell you, love? It's good. But it's not more important than life.”
“okay. Listen to Captain Kim..”
“No matter how pretty the saint is. Phew. Youth is the problem, youth. It makes people's minds spin..”
The porters stopped Jinhyuk..
It seemed like he was misunderstanding something..
When I have time to do things like dating, I end up climbing one more floor of the tower. I don't know what you're thinking.
“It's not like that…….”
Jinhyuk, who was retorting, trailed off midway through his sentence..
Wait, wait a minute.
It looks like it won't work if you talk about it half-heartedly..
Because there was an atmosphere where you couldn’t go no matter what happened..
It's better that it ended up like this….
“Actually, Teresa and I have known each other since we were children..”
Set the genre.
see.
I mix some childhood memories with melodrama..
“The ruins contain items to heal Teresa's family in Europe. At first I said I would go alone, but I just couldn't let it go alone..”
Lastly, add tears..
I tried pinching my thighs, but unfortunately not a single tear came out..
Damn, my emotions are so dry.
“Even if my skills are lacking and even if I lose my life because of it... … . I will protect her till the end.”
Love, tragedy, heroism.
Through this.
‘The Holy Trinity, which has been recognized as a box office hit for centuries, including 'Romeo and Juliet' and 'Wuthering Heights', has been completed..
The porters looked at Jinhyuk blankly..
As if I realized something I had forgotten for a long time..
“This is Jinhyuk Kang.…….”
“Just a real man. shit. A truly manly man from the Goguryeo era..”
“okay. Go. Is it okay for a man to not be able to protect even a childhood friend?.”
“Youth is good. youth.”
Everyone punched Jinhyuk on the back one by one..
＊＊＊
Jinhyuk and Teresa simply packed their bags and went straight into the ruins along the tangled path..
Did about 5 hours pass like that??
The two people who fell away from the attack group were finally able to reach their destination..
‘As expected, it's well-defended..’
Jinhyuk slowly looked at the formation of the monsters..
Most of the things in the pit were ghouls and skeletons. There were also high-ranking undead mixed in here and there..
Dullahan… … In addition, there is a lich who can handle magic..
Judging by the fact that the magic power felt is not strong, the circle will not be high..
Richies are people you should never take lightly..
In particular, if you were hit by a debuff or curse, there was a high chance of being fatally injured, no matter how flying or crawling you were..
Teresa stabbed Jinhyuk’s side with her finger..
“excuse me! The oath is right there in the middle.”
“I also checked.”
center of circle.
There you will find ‘Peter’s Oath’, ‘Frozen Tears’ and ‘Subspace Inventory Combination Book’..
If you kill monsters, you will level up.…….
I guess I'll leave that to Teresa..
“Get ready.”
Jinhyuk prepared to move..
The dagger I kept in my arms shed red light..
“all right.”
Teresa also raised her magic power by holding a sword and shield..
But right then.
ring!
Suddenly a red status window appeared in front of the two people..
