Chapter 60 The Tower (2) (1/2)
Henova rolled his eyes upon hearing something unexpected, but soon his face contorted in anger.
“You’re a lunatic!”
But Henova’s yell made Yeon-woo let out a chuckle.
‘I haven’t heard that in a long time.’
It was something he used to hear from the commander on a daily basis.
“Get the hell out of my shop if you’re going to…!”
“I was joking. Wasn’t that obvious?”
Because of Yeon-woo’s blunt tone, Henova still couldn’t tell if he was joking or not.
And when he realized it was a joke, Henova’s face became even more contorted.
Once again, Henova tried to shout at him in a fit of rage. But when he opened his mouth, Yeon-woo put down the backpack he was carrying on his right shoulder.

Henova stopped for a moment and narrowed his eyes.
“Wait, is that what I think it is? The Dark Elves’ hunting bag?”
‘As I thought, he recognized it right away.’
Yeon-woo nodded, thinking things were going as he wanted.
“Yes.”
“Well, I guess you’re not as bad as I thought you’d be.”
Henova looked at Yeon-woo with a slightly different attitude, though he was still stuck up.
Dark Elves only handed their possessions to those they acknowledged. Having such items meant that he had the skills to back it up.
Furthermore, Henova was already aware that Yeon-woo had just recently finished the tutorial by looking at his appearance.
And there was only one Dark Elf in the tutorial that he knew of.

“Did you get that from Galliard?”
“Yes.”
“Hmph! That scrawny lanky idiot has a horrible temper, but he does have a keen eye for judging players.”
Galliard, the Dark Elf, and Henova, the dwarf, are always fighting like cats and dogs.
I don’t know if it has to do with their races or their personalities.
But in my eyes, they look like a couple of really close friends.
Just like how good friends often casually say harsh things to each other.
…But of course, if I were to say this in front of them, they’d beat me to death.
His brother also added that the two actually respected each other’s skills more than anyone else, even though they constantly snarled at each other.
“Aight, then. Looks like you’re trying to trade my item for what you got from the tutorial. Go ahead and take them out. By the way, my weapons are very expensive. It’ll be beyond what you can imagine.”

Henova arrogantly raised his chin up with his arms folded.
Items that could be collected from the tutorial were usually worthless scrap items which no one in The Tower would give a single glance at.
He was going to make him take them all out and turn him away.
Yeon-woo opened his bag and began to take out the items he had packed inside.
Goblin’s teeth and jawbones, Lizardmen’s eyeballs, Orc’s ribs, Troll’s blood and brains….
Whenever something came out, Henova let out a snort. They were all useless items, just as he had expected. Items that only weak players would pick up to make a living off of them.
Still, each item he took out was a relatively expensive part of the monsters.
However, by the standards of Henova who had risen to the rank of ‘Master’ blacksmith, they were a pile of trash. Trash he would never take them even if he had thousands of them
Henova was starting to feel annoyed and humiliated by the fact that he was trying to buy his weapon with such trash items, but he kept silent to see how much more he could take out.
But from some point onward, Henova’s eyes that were looking at the trash suddenly changed.

‘You dirty little bastard.’
He realized that the items Yeon-woo was taking out weren’t just random trash.
If they were put separately, they were definitely a worthless pile of scrap items. But once they were put together,
‘They become the basic materials for a certain artifact.’
And by his knowledge, that artifact was a very high-rating item. Something which a player who had just cleared the tutorial couldn’t possibly have knowledge of.
‘Speaking of which….’
Henova glanced Yeon-woo up and down again and rubbed his chin quietly.
‘He’s wearing quite good artifacts for a novice.’
Actually, his artifacts weren’t just ‘quite’ good. They were ‘extremely’ good. It was only his pride that didn’t allow him to admit it.
The black bracelet he had on his right wrist, though he hadn’t evaluated it in detail, he was certain it was a great artifact.

And the sword he was carrying on his back, it was a little short to call it a normal long sword, but there was a subtle hint of holy and demonic energy flowing out of the sword.
Two energies that cannot coexist.
As far as he knew, there was only one case as such.
‘A demonic sword which used to be a divine sword but ended up cursed for some reason. It must be a weapon from a distant past… But where the hell did he find that?’
Eventually, Henova raised his assessment of Yeon-woo, who he thought was a crook, a little bit higher.
From a crook to a novice.
Still, there wasn’t much difference.
But Henova had to further adjust his assessment because of the two items Yeon-woo took out at the very end.
They were treasures beyond comparison.
One was Beast Lord’s Lion Mane Helm.

The other is Iblis’ Embryo.
Yeon-woo put out all the rewards he obtained from the tutorial as the payment.
Henova took on a grim expression.
“Is this a joke?”
“What makes you think that?”
“So you’re not joking? Do you even know what you just took out?”
“I know what they are. Aren’t they an artifact left by the Beast Lord and an egg of a Hell Beast?”

It can only be hatched through a special method. Once hatched, it will follow whomever it sees first.
The Beast Lord was one of the most famous Lords in the tower. He had once ruled over The Tower along with the Vampire Lord.
Thus, the artifact left by the Beast Lord was rated A-. It was the first A- artifact Yeon-woo got since entering this world.
Even though its value was lower than Bathory’s Vampiric Sword, that didn’t mean it was worthless. Rather, if he wanted to sell it, people would buy it for whatever price he named.
