Chapter 115
But this time, while Jaeyoung closed the connection, he was making a puzzled expression, as if he had calmed down to some extent, but he didn't go crazy with excitement any more than this.
“Well... because there is nothing I can do more than this. I'll have to bring it to the Pandemonium and see if there's any way to restore it...”
Michael, who is literally in conflict, and Deathbringer, who has lost his power due to being soaked in the power of the end of eternity. It was questionable whether the sword, which had been shattered by El's determination and smashing it properly, would be able to regain its former strength, but seeing Tan carefully aligning the pieces one by one in the air with a gloomy face was so pitiful that Jae-young I couldn't get the question out of my mouth.
“By the way... Tan, do you know anything about Dragon Heart?”
“Dragon Heart? Why is the heart of the lizards all of a sudden?”
“Why are you looking for that all of a sudden?”
At Jaeyoung's question, Tan and L looked at Jaeyoung with puzzled yet curious expressions and asked.
“No... I said that I needed the World Tree, so I asked for it if possible. If there is something kept in the heavens or the demon world, I'm trying to get one...” A
situation where the enormous probability of 600,000 has just been settled. That's why Jaeyoung asked with anticipation that he might be able to get something rare from the two of them as easily as if it had a 4-dimensional pocket, in exchange for probability.
However, the reaction of these two was more negative than expected.
“The owner of Heng doesn’t know the world well yet. Do you know that the hearts of those kinky lizards are so easy to get?”
“Hmm... that sounds like a difficult one. It is something that is hard to find even for us.”
Dragon.
They are the strongest in the world of Arcadia and are called the adjusters of balance. Tan and El began to explain why a dragon's heart is rare and valuable.
“The dragon's heart is an organ that can generate magical power by itself. The efficiency of generating magic is amazing, but what's even more absurd is that there is no limit to storing and accumulating magic.”
Unlike humans, elves, and other races that use magic, there is a limit to the amount of magic that can be accumulated in the heart. Unlike the human, elves, and other races that use magical power, they are a fraudulent race that accumulates infinite magical power from birth for a long time. That's why the myth that one's power grows stronger with age is not wrong.
“that's right. In addition, when dragons know that their lifespan is over, they return the mana stored in their hearts back to nature upon death. In other words, the heart of a dragon that has met a normal death is scattered back to nature, and even if you want to save it, you can't find it.”
Dragons who practice the truth of Gongsurae Gongsugeo by returning all the magical power accumulated over 10,000 years to nature. Because of that characteristic, Tan and El also shook their heads, saying that there was no such thing.
“So what if you want to get a dragon heart...”
“That’s right. We have to go directly into that lizard's lair, take its head and rip out its heart.”
“.....”
A quest where you have to kill the dragon yourself and save the heart. That's why Jaeyoung's face couldn't help but be stained with absurdity.
“I'll tell you in advance, but even if it's you, it wouldn't be too much to call in a decent number of spirit gods to catch the dragon, right?”
“that's right. No matter how much I was born, even if I was a newly born hatchling, even if at least a high-ranking angel did my best, I couldn't be sure of victory...”
Single-handed dragon hunting. Tan and L said in unison that it was absolutely impossible even for Jaeyoung.
“Then, if we talk hypothetically... is it possible to catch an old dragon?”
“what....? Elder Dragon...?”
Are you saying that sanely? Tan looks at Jaeyoung with a curious look. He thought for a moment, then suddenly put on his glasses and muttered something scribbled on a gloomy piece of paper.
“Wait a minute, I'll give you an estimate..... If it's an old dragon level, it's an old lizard that's at least 8000 years old. Let's say I'm going into the spirit world myself... I'll have to bring a new prayer there, so I'm sure there are no other lizards or hinders. Assuming that we can win with the minimum battle time...” Tan
grunted and scrawled something for a long time as if he had too many things to think about. And he said in a bright voice, as if he had come up with a result.
“It seems to be possible. As long as there is a probability of at least 123,114,444.”
“what....?”
A bullet that demands a probability in billions. Jaeyoung glared at him with an absurd look, wondering if he was serious about what he was saying. Then he protested with an unfair face.
“What are you looking at with those eyes? Are you saying that you know how huge the ripple effect killing dragons is on the entire continent of Arcadia? That's a ‘lord' class like an old dragon!”
A gigantic Arcadia that could accommodate the entire world of humanity. In other words, in this virtual world, which is not an exaggeration to say that it is another Earth, there are only a few dozen dragons at most. That's why Tan's words weren't so absurd.
“that's right. Even if I go out myself... I think I'll need a probability of at least 150 million or more? Of course, there's no way that we in the heaven world would participate in killing the dragon...”
That's why Arcadia's strongest being can't help even the heads of the heaven and demon realms. Once again, I could feel how crazy the quest was to ask the world tree to bring their hearts.
“Well... it's not urgent right now, so you can think about it later.”
If it was impossible to solve the problem on his own, Jaeyoung decided to take some time to spare, since there is also a way for many users to join forces to play Daguri when the users go beyond stagnant water and become rotten water. After all, there was nothing good about the merging of the scattered continents right now.
“Master, where are you going now?”
Jae-young put aside her worries about Dragon Heart and got up from her seat. As he tried to move again, Tan asked with curious eyes.
“For now, I want to go back to the village near Shurim.”
“Shrim? Dwarf realm? Why are you there all of a sudden?”
Jae-young decides to go back to the place where she stayed a while ago. At that, Tan looked at him with a puzzled look, but Jaeyoung said with a face full of annoyance.
“I have a friend I'm going to meet.”
Jae-young's college classmate and closest friend, Jae-gyun. Ever since he found out that Jaeyoung was playing Arcadia, he had been persistently putting in his passion and effort to be with him in the game.
“lol. Jaeyoung, where are you playing right now?”
“Jaeyoung, are you busy? Did you finish all the quests that said you would wake up then?”
“Jaeyoung! I ate a rare item this time, but I don't use it, so I'll give it to you if you need it!”
“Jaeyoung.... Can we hunt together just once? huh? Please...”
Jaekyun, who really wants to play together to the point of being annoying. I don't know if it's because of Dex's prestige, which is a legend itself, or because he doesn't have a friend to play with, but Jae-young, who surrendered to Jae-gyun, who asked him persistently to the point of being annoying, made an appointment with him for the first time.
“Oh, I see. I get it, so please stop asking.”
“really? really? promised? Can't we fight?”
Jae-gyun was overjoyed and cheered at the word that he would meet him in Arcadia. I couldn't understand why he liked him so much, but Jaeyoung made an appointment to meet him in a nearby village in the great desert Shurim.
“You haven't been to the Dwarf Village yet, have you? I'll go there with you, so stop staring at me.”
“huh! okay. By the way... to go to the dwarf village?”
“uh. why? Is there something wrong?”
“No, that's... I was going to see the elves.”
“The elves...?”
“huh! I heard that elves are very pretty, so I really wanted to go see them.”
What the hell is he imagining? Jaekyun is smiling strangely. Jaeyoung, who looked at him slightly pathetically, looked him up and down with serious eyes and said.
“I'm sorry... but if you go there, you won't be able to step in and you'll be kicked out?”
“uh? why....?”
It is not yet known what the requirements for entering the villages of elves and dwarves are. Therefore, Jaekyun would have imagined entering the village of elves with false hopes, but when Jaeyoung, as Jaekyun's friend, saw it objectively, he fell far short of meeting the elves' strict standards.
“Listen to me on this. You are unconditionally a dwarf.”
“huh....? why....?”
“There is such a thing. Don't try to know too much, just meet in a village near Shurim.”
Jae-young decides to meet Jae-gyun near Shurim. As they prepared to move to meet him, Tan and L looked genuinely surprised and asked.
“Eh? Did the owner ever have a friend?”
“really? Were you in a close relationship with another human being?”
“...I am not a social misfit who has had a breakdown in relationships. Of course I have friends.”
At that, Tan nodded in amazement and said,
“Hehe.... I don't know if real humans know it. To think that there is a species of the same species that maintains a close relationship with a human like its owner.”
“...No, that's why it's amazing.”
“Master, you really don’t know that, so you ask? I'm not really kidding about the people who have been fucked because of their owners until now, but I think you can easily build a mountain?”
“.....”
“Honestly, I thought the owner would always wear a mask and hide his identity because he was afraid he would be caught and killed by humans.”
At that, Jaejoong didn't say anything. He would do that, because he knew very well that not one or two users would be angry if the actions he had committed so far were revealed to be his own.
“Don’t talk nonsense... let’s start.”
“Ah, if I go there, can I see that child again then?”
“huh? who?”
“That... the child who inherits Vulcan's will.”
“Ah, lunch.... No, am I talking about a ttongson?”
“yes. I wonder what you are doing now.”
L's curious expression. L had a face that looked very curious about the growth of the child he had excavated himself. A synonym for grit and hard work. Joong-sik Lee, a middle school boy who worked as a slave in the Pagon Mine, was digging for iron ore, thinking only of the day he would be released.
Jae-young was also curious about his growth, which showed tremendous potential to raise his mining skill to the 2nd rank, which is close to the master, beyond the 5th rank, which is called the realm of enlightenment and the stage of atrocities. That's why Jaeyoung nodded indifferently to L's request.
“Okay, let’s go and have a look at the situation. I'm curious too.”
Jaeyoung left the village of the elves and started walking again. Toward Shurim, the vast desert of super-steamy sand.
“Quaaaaaa! help me!”
“Stop! Ugly human!”
“Sylph! Track down the ugly people sneaking in!”
“Aaaaaaa! What's wrong with my face!”
A place that could be called the boundary and entrance of the elves' village. There, dozens of elven patrols were busy chasing spirits, arresting and kicking out humans who did not meet the standard, but Jaeyoung's steps leaving the village were more leisurely than anyone else's.
