Alone Full Level Newbie-Episode 63

Nights at the Tower of Trials are a little special..
The temperature, which had been warm during the day, dropped rapidly, and the ferocity and attack power of the monsters also jumped significantly..
Therefore, when night falls, most players stop hunting and find a safe place..
It's a given..
Because there was no need to take risks..
And about an hour after dealing with Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara.
Jinhyeok was able to settle down in front of the shrine where the bamboo forest was lush..
‘It reminds me of the old days.’
The space where I spent most of my time, except for sleeping or broadcasting. [Tower of Trials].
After hunting like crazy, I found a place where I could see the night sky..
Not a bad place to relax.
Especially since I could see the meteor shower falling here..
‘Another great thing is that you can get bamboo shoots and ingredients that can only be found in pagodas..’
Jinhyuk lit a fire and boiled bamboo shoots, rice, and rock salt in a bamboo container. In addition, three ironclad shrimp that can be caught in the valley were added..
Immediately a fragrant smell hit the tip of my nose..
Growling.
I have an appetite.
Take a spoonful and put it in your mouth. The soft, warm porridge slid down her throat..
The meat of the shrimp was plump and plump in the middle, creating a fantastic texture..
Wow, this is what it tastes like.
‘Next time, I'll have to copy some cooking-related skills as well..’
As we climbed the tower, we were filled with all kinds of delicacies..
Desert veal meat that is so juicy and overflowing that you don’t even need olive oil..
Rainbow crab available in the sea.
Thousand Apples, which are said to have a thousand scents, etc..
Ingredients that can never be tasted outside the tower.
It is truly a treasure trove of ingredients from the sea..
However, just when Jinhyuk was enjoying a long-awaited dinner,.
“Hey. It smells good.”
“That looks like a pretty tasty meal..”
A man and woman appeared through the bamboo forest..
An alluring Western beauty and an Asian man with a solid physique.
It was Melena and Li Qiao..
“ah! There is no bad intention. I just came here once because I saw a light..”
“Just avoiding the night dew for a while is enough..”
Melena and Li Qiao calmly approached the bonfire..
What are these guys?…….
Are you planning on playing an ordinary player rather than a member of the Mine Association??
sincerely?
‘This is ridiculous..’
At this point, I'm so shocked that I have nothing to say..
They are stupid beyond imagination. or not…….
Even if my identity is revealed, is there a way to win?.
It's probably one of the two.
I hope it's the latter if possible..
That way, I won't be able to spend this long night without being bored..
“It's at least possible to keep you out of the cold, so please sit down..”
Jinhyuk pointed to one side of the campfire..
“thank you. My name is Melena..”
“It's called Li Qiao. Well, excuse me for a few hours..”
Melena and Li Qiao took one seat each..
At least it seemed like I wasn't lying when I said I wanted to avoid the night dew..
When you see them hurry to thaw their half-frozen arms and legs..
“It looks like you went through a lot of trouble..”
“Don't even talk. That's because my masked brother didn't know. I was shivering all day on the tree.?”
Yes, of course it must have been difficult..
How many times have you had to strain your eyes to spy on this side like a rat??
“The food was quite generous, but how? Would you like some??”
Jinhyuk handed over a bamboo bowl..
Appetizingly plump shrimp and white rice stood out..
Don't hesitate.
I know that your stomach is stuck to your back because you are starving..
“…….”
Melena swallowed dryly..
It's a face that feels conflicted.
However, he did not willingly reach for the food..
It's suspicious..
You have no idea what they did to your food. However, perhaps due to my strong instinct for appetite, my pupils twitched several times in that short moment..
On the other hand, Li Qiao drew a sharp line..
“We're fine. I'm sorry, but it's a warning not to touch food given to you by strangers. Especially if the subject has their face covered..”
“The mask seems to be bothering you.?”
“Isn’t it obvious? I wouldn't wear a mask unless I wanted to hide something..”
“hmm. If you find it uncomfortable to look at, we can take it off..”
“……what?”
“……really?”
At Jinhyuk’s words, the pupils of both people dilated rapidly..
Since the person who was trying to find out his identity declared that he would reveal his identity, it was natural that he would react like this..
“Of course, it's no fun if you just take them off, so let's play a simple game..”
“If it's a game……?”
“It seems like each of us has something to ask, so we take turns asking questions three times. If you can answer all my questions, I will take off my mask as soon as the game is over..”
A game where you can exchange information with each other.
Li Qiao's head turned quickly..
‘There is no way to find out the truth of what is being said anyway..’
This means that it doesn't matter if you give false information..
On the other hand, the other party who does not know this person's identity will be caught off guard..
‘There is nothing to lose if we accept that offer..’
Melena, who was next to me, also nodded and whispered softly..
“There are still 5 more minutes before the relic activates. If you let us take our time on purpose, that's fine..”
The worries didn't last long.
“……That's fun. Not a bad way to kill time.”
Li Qiao opened his mouth..
and at that moment.
[‘‘Judgment of Anubis’ is activated!]
Transparent waves spread around Jinhyuk..
＊＊＊
……Got caught.
Jinhyuk smiled meaningfully..
In fact, I knew right away that the two would accept the offer..
Because they were the ones who needed time.
Patsu Tzu Tzu!
A unique wave emanating from a woman named Melena..
This is the magic I felt several times while playing [Tower of Trials] in the past..
‘Callicula's coin…….’
Coin engraved with the image of the Roman tyrant Callicula.
I was wondering what kind of card you had prepared, was that it?.
Definitely not a bad choice.
It had the disadvantage of taking some time to activate, but once fully activated, it had the effect of completely lowering the vigilance of the designated target..
A mental relic that made people confess everything they knew without the need for time-consuming physical torture was a very useful card..
‘Even though you know that my body is not fully recovered yet, I am determined to achieve victory even more completely..’
The intention to avoid even minor injuries stood out..
excellent.
It's great, but.
Since its existence was known before activation, you should know that the Coin of Calicula is not a relic but merely a commemorative coin..
‘I'll let you know that above the one who runs, there's the one who flies.’
Jinhyuk smiled brightly..
“I will give up at least the right of priority. Ask a question first.”
“Even if I ask about his name or affiliation, he won't answer.…….”
“If I reveal my identity in the first question, there will be no point in answering this question. The only time you take off your mask is after the game is over..”
“Then change the question. Are there other colleagues here besides you??”
Hmm.
I thought you were going to ask something else.
That's a pretty realistic question..
Common sense tells you that it would be difficult to think that you came to the boss raid alone, so you can only assume that you have another companion..
Since Calicula's coin has a range of 10m, we are trying to check the variables that may arise..
“I came here alone, and I will be alone when I leave..”
“……Right.”
“This time I ask. From the looks of it, it looks like they came here to hunt the boss monster, so why did they just watch??”
“I was watching the timing to enter the temple. Because it was such a notorious place, we had to be careful..”
You're sounding cautious..
But, this gives me the answer to the first question..
There are two left.
Just then Li Qiao asked the second question..
“If you climb the tower, you will have something to wish for. Is it power or denial, or is it honor? I want to know that.”
Hoo.
At Li Chao’s words, Jinhyeok’s eyes narrowed..
‘I thought you came to kill me…….’
If the conditions are right, it seems like they have an intention to appease..
“There is something I want, but even if I say it, will they really have the ability to do it??”
Shivering from the cold and starving.
Li Qiao and Melina had been up in the tree all day, so they were completely naked..
“Well, we probably look funny right now. However, you don't have to worry because you have the ability to do so..”
This is the second time…….
There's only one answer you need now.
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth were subtly twisted..
At the same time, the polite tone became cold..
“He has the ability to do that... … . Then, can you give me a seat at the ‘round table’??”
“What now??”
“How do you know about the round table?!?”
Two people shouted at the same time.
A round table symbolizing the highest executives of the Mine Association..
Because I never imagined that those veiled words would come out of the mouth of an outsider. He had no choice but to be the flagship..
But do they know?
‘The fact that there is a person who understood the origin and reason for the use of the expression 'round table' before anyone else..
“I haven't heard an answer to my question yet, so I can't give it to you.?”
“Of course I can't give it to you!”
Li Qiao bit his molars..
“Are you saying anything like that?!”
Melena had already jumped up from her seat..
As expected, I thought you would say this.
“Actually, I wouldn't be interested even if they offered it to me..”
Even if you give me an executive position in the Mine Association for free, I don't want it..
And there's no need for clumsy acting anymore..
[condition has been met!]
Because Anubis’ judgment has just been revealed..
Cuckoo cuckoo!
The ground began to tremble violently..
“Pfft!”
Li Qiao hurriedly widened the distance..
It was an instinctive action due to the unusual magical power..
timely.
“5Minutes have passed!”
Melena yelled..
The time I've been waiting for is finally over.
If you could use Calicula's coin, you could defeat even the strongest enemy..
Because until now, no player has had the ability to defend against the mental system..
but.
“No, the relic does not activate..”
Jinhyuk chuckled..
“what?”
Li Chao, who took out a dagger, raised his eyebrows..
“That coin. It's probably useless to anyone right now. I delayed the activation time by about 5 minutes..”
“Don't talk nonsense! What can you do……!”
“for a moment! Really.”
Melena's face next to me suddenly darkened..
It's definitely true.
“The coin has not been sufficiently infused with magic yet. That guy... … That guy was up to something. They must have done something to suppress our magic power.!”
“What do you mean! We didn't even put food to our mouths.!”
The only possibility is the dish Jinhyeok gave me..
But how could you play around with food you didn't even eat??
“That's because this dish becomes effective just by smelling it..”
Those wary guys, there's no way they'll just take food from other people..
So I used my brain a little more.
Although the effect is slower than taking it directly by mouth, it is a more precise method..
“When the sap flowing from the bamboo shoot reacts with the ironclad shrimp, it creates a toxic substance that suppresses magical power. Of course, if you chew this grass, you will not be poisoned..”
Jinhyuk showed me a glimpse of the eucalyptus leaf that was in his mouth..
“Don't even say it... … no. Not only our identity, but also the effects of the relic and the way to destroy it were all designed.?”
“Time… … Are you saying it wasn't us who were earning?.”
The two people muttered in disbelief..
I thought I had dug a perfect trap..
I thought time was definitely on my side..
Everything collapsed completely..
“From now on, I will ask the questions.”
Jinhyuk snapped his finger..
At the same time.
[Anubis chooses his opponent!]
something started moving.
