Chapter 43. Kwon Noya (2) (2/2)
“You? Playing Go with your personality? Don’t ood”
“Do you think I’ood now!”
Their bickering eventually led to a Go board being taken out At thata tea table “It’s hot, so please be careful” He placed down the teacups and went upstairs after noticing Kwon Noya’s look that asked him to leave them alone
“It’s a rare tea Don’t spill any”
“Geez Noya, you know I’ve had all sorts of expensive teas” But as Seo Jun-Ho blew on the tea and took a sip, his eyes bulged “W-what is this…?”
“Kukuku, doesn’t your head feel clear? And your eyes too? You want to drink more, don’t you?”
“What kind of tea is this?”
“I’ll tell you if you win” Kwon Noya cackled, and Seo Jun-Ho had to grab a stone
30 minutes later, Kwon Noya picked up the innocent stones and threw theame”
“You weren’t supposed to play Go like that”
“Shut up!” Kwon Noya drained the last of his now-cold tea “Kid, have you heard of the Second Race?”
“Monsters with intelligence that are siuys?”
“That’s e called theence are different on the 2nd floor” Kwon Noya began placing the stones on the Go board to help with the explanation He pushed the black stones to one corner of the board “So, these black stones are members of the Second Race that Players have hunted in Gates thus far We still call them monsters”
“How about the white ones?”
“They’re the onescall the Second Race”
“What’s the difference between theence” Kwon Noya tapped on his temple “The onescall the Second Race are now all responsive to communication”
“Wait We can communicate with orcs?” Seo Jun-Ho’s eyes were filled with shock All the orcs he had encountered so far could only screech gibberish
“Orcs are a race with a lot of tribes There’s not a lot of them that we can communicate with”
“But there are still so this up…?”
“You asked me about the tea” Kwon Noya stroked the teacup “It’s called Agarit tea The elves cultivated the leaves themselves, and you can’t buy it with money”
“Not even on the 2nd floor?”
“Who knows If you et some”
Seo Jun-Ho was a little disappointed since he liked the tea
“Noya, can I ask you one more question?”
“Spit it out”
“It’s easier to just show you” Seo Jun-Ho finished his sentence and pulled out the ‘Unknown Ball’ he had won at the auction Kwon Noya stared at the ball on the Go board and tilted his head “H ball”
“So you have no idea what it is either?”
“You bastard, I’dae Do you think I know everything? But…”[2]
Noya picked up the Unknown Ball and studied it He eventually nodded “There’s one thing I know This ball is Elven”
“How do you know that?”
“H so I’ll summarize I once one to the 2nd floor before?”
“Not me He was the one that cained that creatures from the upper floors could ride the Dimension Elevator The brand-new inforo around talking about this It’s top-secret,” Noya said
“You know I’ht-lipped Tell ave off an energy that was bothin front ofin front of water or a plant” Kwon Noya stared at the ball as he spoke “It’s the saet with this ball”
“An Elven item” Seo Jun-Ho looked at the ball with new eyes
“You won’t be able to find elves on the 1st floor, so go to a dark elves’ forest instead”
“Dark elves? Is that necessary?”
“You tell y of the World Tree can be activated”
“Then…” Seo Jun-Ho took a hts before he tapped on his Vita, looking for an article He had seen a relevant article on a flight on the way here

“Perfect”
He finally decided on the next Gate he’d conquer
