Dungeon House 81

Dungeon House chapter 81

After Castle, Kai, and Chris got to where I was, I climbed into the Nid Hog with everyone and infused mana into the Communications Department as the Director of Operations said. The Communications Department then floated in the air and began to fly in one direction.

We followed the Communications Department in the Nidhogg. The Ministry of Communications stopped far away from Seoul, then burned and disappeared. Not far from where the Ministry of Communications disappeared, the director was waiting.

“Come here.”

His complexion, whom I had not seen in a long time, was not only very pale, but also haggard at first glance. A state of weakness by anyone looking at it. I could tell the moment I saw that it was not simply weakened, but the vitality itself was cut.

“Are you okay?”

“Unexpected. Are you worried about me?”

*Because you are the person I need and help me. Especially in this situation.”

The current situation is very confusing. Besides, I am a necromancer dealing with the undead. It is an existence that is often defined as evil. In such a situation, the link with those in power was very important. It was a mixture of such selfishness and a little sincerity that worried him.

“You truly think so without lies. To be honest, I thought it would come as a good opportunity.”

“It’s not that you don’t want to do that, but you’re not just being bullied. And as the situation is the situation, I have no intention of doing so. Take care of yourself.”

“Thank you for your concern. Let’s go straight to the point. It’s just that I tried to peek into the future a little bit, and in return, my vitality was cut off.”

“Is it the future?”

“It happened against the millennium by seeing the worst future that could be unfolding before our eyes. It’s fortunate that I paid a small price for artificially changing the future. ruler. get this.”

He handed me a total of nine envelopes. The envelope was the same one that previously contained the amulet of Hyeoncheonsangje.

“It’s like the amulet I gave you before.”

“Why are you giving this to me?”

“Because it is what you need]. You don’t need it right now, but I’ll have to move later, so I’m giving it to you in advance. First, take a day off tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, go to Yeouido on the third day. But you must never go to Yeouido tomorrow.”

rest tomorrow It was an unexpected word. I am advanced power. And they were hired for a fair price. How dare you make fun of me like that. It was a pity for me and it was something I would never choose.

“Tomorrow, you will understand why I told you to rest. So, keep my words in mind, take a break tomorrow and go to Yeouido the day after tomorrow. That’s the best.”

The chief said sternly. His expression was supreme, so I nodded my head and answered.

“I knew. I will never even go near Yeouido tomorrow. But other than that, what can I do?”

“Of course. Just be mindful. You must never go near Yeouido tomorrow.”

The chief said so again.

What kind of future did the director who said he saw the future see? Did you actually see the future?

Numerous questions came to mind. However, I decided to believe in him, who was so pale and had a wretched expression on his face even though he was so weak that it would not be strange to die at any time. I didn’t ask any more questions.

“And if you go to Yeouido the next day, don’t spare the means you have. If you can use it, use whatever it is. And think about where you are now.”

“If it is, we are already aware of it. This is not a dungeon, it’s outside.”

“is it. That’s lucky.”

At my words, the director smiled a little. As I said a while ago, the battlefield I am currently fighting on is not a dungeon. In the dungeon, not only the current standby machine but also the modernization machine are all working, but outside the dungeon it is different.

You can now use any means that cannot be used in the dungeon. I was fully aware of that fact, and I had already brought as many modern weapons as possible from the United States. There was no need to use it yet, so I didn’t use it, but that’s all.

“Cool!”

The director suddenly stumbled and vomited a bowl of blood. His complexion, who seemed to be dying all the time, became paler, and his weak vitality weakened even more.

I hurriedly tried to support him, but he reached out and blocked my approach.

“It’s okay. It will get better with time.”

Feeling the weakened vitality, I began to question myself again.

If you look at the nuances of his words, he paid the price of his life force to change the future. In my opinion, he is not trying to change the future for the sake of the individual or himself. I was trying to change the future by seeing something bigger. It was difficult for me to understand myself as the most important thing.

“Why are you doing this?”

“What do you mean?”

“Why are you acting like this at the cost of sacrificing yourself?”

He smiled at my question.

“Isn’t it natural? Yes for myself.”

“You mean yourself?”

His answer was unexpected.

“It seems to you that I am acting for a cause. I’m not that stupid. After all, I am a selfish, snobbish bastard who acts for me.”

He said so, with a supremely happy expression on his face.

“Unlike you, I was born into a family with a long history. One of the families that have supported this country in the dark and in the sun. I hated being part of such a family and working for the country. But, after all, I am a member of the family. There are some things you just can’t get over.”

With that said, his mood suddenly changed. Until a moment ago, he seemed to be a dying person, but now he was exuding a force like a flame.

Fools, fools, pedigrees, and eventually losing to me, who was the colleague of the family, gave up their place as the head of the family, and the people who were painting the walls in the back room were able to sustain this country. But to destroy the country in my generation. That’s not going to happen. So, that’s what you’re doing. For myself!”

The momentum that had burned like a flame at the end of those words subsided, and returning to the previous state, he continued his speech with a bitter expression on his face.

It’s only in the wrong direction, but as a result, I’m doing the same thing as the guys in the family, so I’m no different from the old people in the back room of the family.”

“… … i See.”

Through his words, I thought a lot. In the end, I was no different. I’m acting for myself, but as a result, I’m just acting for those around me.

“Humans are social creatures. As long as you don’t live alone or betray this world, it’s unavoidable. As a senior, there is only one thing I can say. Be strong. It flows with the great current, but enough to be able to control the flow on its own, and to go against it. It’s like I’m controlling the flow of this country right now.”

“… … Thanks for the advice.”

Whether against the flow or steer the flow as he advises, all you need is strength. If you have the power, you can decide everything at your own will. I recalled all of that fact.

I bowed my head in pure gratitude for his advice.

He also opened his mouth again to ask a question that had been delayed for a while.

“Am I the only one going to Yeouido on the third day?”

“Could you go away alone? You have already prepared people to help you.”

“That’s good.”

“But it won’t help much. So it would be more convenient to think of it as actually fighting alone.”

“I knew. But please bear in mind that the most important thing for me is myself.”

I would do my best, but it was an expression of my intention to run away when I was driving. The chief laughed and said.

“It is natural. Because everyone is the most important law. Anything more to ask?”

“There is not.”

“Then I’ll just go and see. There is so much work to be done.”

After saying those words, the director stood up from his seat. After the director left, a person from the management office came and offered to guide me to a resting place, but I declined and went outside and boarded the Nid Hog. Then we headed to the outskirts of Seoul.

Chris, who had been quiet until now, sighed and said.

[after. In the end, I go back there.]

“Yeah.”

I’m not going right now, but I ended up going with a female intention. Had I known this would happen, I thought that I would rather have tried to destroy the magic circle when I first went to Yeouido. As I was thinking about it, Kai said.

[I think it would be better to retrieve the golems that were lent to the lord.]

Sending me to Yeouido meant that a large-scale battle, no, a war could break out. So, a little bit more power is required. And the simple way to increase the power in the current situation was to recover the golems that had been lent to the outlying military bases.

However, it was Castle who questioned Kai’s opinion.

[Hey. Kai. Giving and taking away is too much.]

[I didn’t give it. It’s just a temporary loan. There is a need to reinforce the power even a little as we don’t know what will happen in the future, and in the current situation, the way to increase that power is to retrieve the golem.]

[Well, that’s true though.]

In the end, at Kai’s words, Castle couldn’t answer properly.

[What would you like to do?]

At Chris’ words, Kai and Castle looked at me.

“For now, let’s go to the military base that distributed the golems.”

[master. Retrieving the real golems?]

“It depends on the situation. Other than that, I have other business to go. I have something to give them.”

After saying that, we moved Nidhogg and headed for the military base outside Seoul.

The world was engulfed in darkness, but in the meantime, time continued to pass.

And it was time for the original darkness to take hold. As a result, the monsters became stronger. Because night is the time of monsters.

The monsters began to search for humans more actively, and the battle of the army became more intense as a result.

The dungeon explorers who cooperated with the soldiers and the government, no, the hunters fought desperately. However, the battle that seemed to last forever came to an abrupt end.

At some point, the monsters that constantly rushed towards the military bases on the outskirts of Seoul disappeared.

Until a little while ago, other monsters died or not, the monsters continued to rush as if killing humans was a supreme command. When those monsters suddenly disappeared, not only the soldiers, but also the leaders who were constantly receiving reports could not help but panic.

But even for a moment, the leaders moved quickly. Whatever the reason, there was room for it. They moved quickly.

“Pile up the corpses of the monsters!”

“I’d rather demolish that building now!”

They make the soldiers build walls with the corpses of monsters and destroy buildings that are collapsing in battle by hand. In that way, he was adjusting his formation by forming a position for the next battle. In addition, the overheated weapons due to the battle were maintained, and the remaining bullets and shells were checked and prepared for the next battle. And don’t forget to take turns taking turns.

Relief work was continued for survivors still living in the city center through combat helicopters and transport helicopters by recruiting manpower from time to time.

Meanwhile, time flew by without hesitation.

“Whoa. Is it already six hours?”

“Now, how many will come at once? Just imagining it makes my teeth tremble.”

The resting soldiers were talking. Although they were basically vigilant, human vision was limited in the middle of the night, so most of the vigilance was done through surveillance cameras installed on drones.

“By the way, did you hear that rumor? The corpses of those monsters are very expensive.”

“what? Really?”

“I don’t know for sure, but the performance of new products from large companies these days is amazing. I heard that it was thanks to the new material that was made by researching the material from the monsters.”

After the appearance of dungeons and dungeon explorers, the materials of monsters flowed into large corporations through the operating bureau and research was conducted. As a result, new materials were developed in various fields and products with superior performance were being produced.

“Before, the cadres took the corpses of trolls and ogres back separately. They said it was very expensive, so they had to take it out.”

“Damn executives, do they carry their own pockets in a situation like this? That’s why it’s not for nothing that the saying that when military corruption disappears, all corruption in our country will disappear.”

“right. So, let’s take care of a little. a little bit There are so many corpses, a little won’t be ok.”

**……Is that so?”

Currently, all soldiers stationed outside Seoul are professional soldiers. All officers and soldiers alike.

Even so, those who have to fight against monsters must fight for their lives. Since it is impossible to suddenly recruit such people, the military has been selecting them for a long time, making them professional soldiers, and training them in advance. So, the soldiers here pay a considerable amount of money, including the risk allowance.

was getting money

However, the more money, the better, and the corruption in the barracks is too complicated.

After the conversation, they started moving to collect the monster’s by-products. He secretly approached the mountain of monster corpses and took them by peeling the hides of the monsters with a military knife.

“By the way, it’s a night with a monster.”

“what’s the matter?”

One of the soldiers who was taking the monster’s skin murmured, a fellow soldier asked. He replied with an awkward smile.

“That’s it. There are monsters that move even after they die. Something like a little rain or a skeleton.”

“… … right.”

“The living monsters retreat, and the night continues. The corpses of monsters are lined up there. Isn’t that right?”

At the words of his comrade, the soldier shut his mouth. And, coincidentally, it was past midnight when they finished their conversation.

A new day had begun.

boisterous

“……Damn it!”

“Damn it?!”

Watching the corpses of the monsters move and move, the soldiers who were there rushed towards the camp at once.

The 4th and 2nd day of the Seven Hooks

The day of the dead and moving has begun.
