Chapter 321 Team HH, thursdays, Yahiko (9/10) (1/2)

Team: HH, thursdays, Yahiko (9/10)

“Why do you have to leave so hurriedly? We still have a lot to talk about. Why don’t you leave after a break?”

The Gluttony Emperor looked at Yeon-woo with regret. He usually hated taking even a few steps outside of the castle, and seeing how he came outside of the castle himself, Yeon-woo could tell he was sincere.

“No. I’m grateful for the exemplary treatment. I barely made enough time to come here. I’ll make some more time for my next visit.”

“Pahahaha! Well, your life is busier and fiercer than anyone else’s, and that is your charm. I’ll cheer you on from far away.”

The Gluttony Emperor patted Yeon-woo’s hand with his own. When he licked his lips, he looked like someone who was losing out on something delicious.

Just then, Duke Tuan Tien brought a chest over and silently held it out to Yeon-woo.

“This is a gift that His Majesty is bestowing upon his friend.”

Yeon-woo looked at it and asked the Gluttony Emperor.

“What is this?”

“Try opening it.”

The Gluttony Emperor smiled with a face filled with his large pores.

Yeon-woo took the chest from Duke Tuan Tien and carefully opened it.

With a clack, a sword that was about the length of an arm was there.

The blade was bent, and the jewels on the sword made it look more like a sword for decoration instead of for battle.

*Moonlight Leading Luck

A great amount of luck will be given to whatever the owner does. The percentage of the owner’s success will increase as long as it doesn’t harm the rules and laws surrounding it.

It will raise attacking and defensive power. When creating something, the item will be blessed.

The concept of “luck” wasn’t that clear in the Tower. There were always unknown variables that would occur with whatever people did.

However, because it raised the percentage of success directly, the Gluttony Emperor’s gift was extremely priceless.

“Didn’t you say you were working hard on something? I don’t know what it is, but I hope you succeed. This item is something I cherish, too. Wear it around your neck as a necklace. It’ll be very effective. Pahaha!”

Yeon-woo closed the chest, looking at the bright Gluttony Emperor, and bowed with gratitude.

‘What a giving tree. Is this a bribe to talk to the Martial King about him?’

With the alliance against White Dragon, the Jamshid Liquor, all kinds of elixirs, and now the Moonlight of Blessed Ones, Yeon-woo was beginning to feel sorry for the Gluttony Emperor.

‘Not that anything will change.’

「That pig guy needs to know what you’re thinking.」

‘Shut up.’

He ignored Shanon’s provocative remark and left the Blood Land’s Outer Space.

Creutz carefully approached Yeon-woo and asked him a question.

“Are you planning on allying yourself with the Gluttony Emperor?”

The alliance with Blood Land and Black Dragon. If this became known, the Tower would be flipped on its side. There would be a force to oppose the great White Dragon. Also, it hadn’t been long since the River of Souls incident.

Also, Yeon-woo’s decision could change the outcome of the war.

There wasn’t anything to say about the One-horned tribe, which was in a special relationship with Yeon-woo, and the souls he commanded were destructive enough to stand against an entire emerging clan. On top of this, the Fantasy Regiment considered Yeon-woo close to it.

Anyone allied with all of them would have a dramatically greater amount of forces.

Yeon-woo was a threatening storm whose small actions may cause commotion in the Tower.

Of course Creutz would be sensitive about this matter. He needed to know how close Yeon-woo and the Gluttony Emperor were. He was feeling rushed, which was unlike himself.

But.

“…….”

Yeon-woo didn’t say anything and just looked at Creutz. He had an indifferent gaze.

Creutz suddenly came to attention. He sighed.

“Sorry. That’s none of my business.”

In fact, it was only the Fantasy Regiment who considered them close, and that wasn’t the case for Yeon-woo.

Rather, he had already done a lot by revealing his location to a stranger.

But if he was acting that close, there was a need to put some distance between them.

Creutz realized he just broke his promise and apologized, leaving on the Flying Dragon. He was going to come back after organizing his thoughts.

Yeon-woo looked at Creutz’s back and confirmed his quest window.

[Materials to construct ‘Kynee’]Apodis Scales(45/45)

……Magic Sword Stone (2/2)Jamshid Liquor (12/5)Adamantine Nova (0/1)

‘Now, only the Adamantine Nova is left.’

Yeon-woo narrowed his eyes.

‘I still collected them faster than I thought.’

If he had searched for them one by one, it would’ve taken him at least a few months.

It could’ve taken even longer, or he might’ve not been as successful in obtaining them. Time was of the essence, but a lot of the materials were from the higher floors.

Still, since he had By the Table’s help, he was able to progress much faster.

Atran said the Adamantine Nova was in the process of being procured, so he would be able to have it soon.

‘Shouldn’t the negotiations be done by now?’

Yeon-woo blew his Consciousness into Freesia’s Mirror.

“Atran.”

Above the bead, a hologram popped up.

Atran turned around with surprised eyes.

Only half of his body was turned around, and he wasn’t looking at him properly. He looked like someone who had been caught hiding something.

『W, What?』

What was he doing? Yeon-woo looked at him suspiciously.

He usually spoke formally to his customers while also calling them pushovers, but he looked rushed for some reason.

“I was wondering how the Adamantine Nova was going. You said they were in the final negotiation stage.”

『Ah, it’s going fine, so don’t worry. I’m busy right now, so I’ll contact you later.』

Atran quickly ended the call. He had tried to hide it, but he couldn’t avoid Yeon-woo’s sharp eyes.

‘It looks like he has a black eye.’

Was he beat up somewhere? Yeon-woo narrowed his eyes.

* * *

It was evening when Atran showed himself again. He didn’t come through the messaging device but through the portal.

And for some reason, his shoulders were drooped, like he had suddenly become depressed.

“…..What’s wrong with your eye?’

He even had a patch on one of his eyes.

“H, Huh? Oh, I fell tripped.”

Atran couldn’t meet Yeon-woo’s eyes and turned his head around.

Yeon-woo looked him up and down.

“Were you beat up by someone?”

“Why would I be beat up by someone?! I’m Atran! I’m a big fish of By the Table who doesn’t have much longer to go until the Flower rank! Who would dare touch me?!”

「He was beat up. A lot.」

「It’s not easy to touch a mysterious merchant, though.」

Shanon and Hanryeong looked at Atran, who was jumping up and down, and nodded.

At the same time, they were surprised. Mysterious merchants always lived in danger. It was because of the thieves who mugged them.

So while mysterious merchants created unions for safety, they were famous for using mercenary clans or the Bureau to get revenge.

Also, Although Yeon-woo considered Atran a loser, he was actually well-known in his field.

Still, the fact that they had touched him meant that they were confident or someone skilled.

Yeon-woo lightly sighed.

“I guess you were beat up after chasing down some deal.”
