Chapter 27 Part8 (2/2)

[I understand.]

The golems immediately returned to mining. At longest, it should take about another day for them to completely empty the mine. With so many raw materials, he should be able to create golems with the cores he had and still have a lot of materials left over.

”Then I have to go to Pleine to sell my wine.”

”Though I wonder how many cores you can make with the money you get from selling the wine.”

”I should be able to make a lot.”

Kratia spoke, not knowing just how much the Kerr Century Winery's wine had increased in value, and Lee s.h.i.+n Woo replied with a grin. Then, he took his party to the dungeon that they had found two days ago and cleared it.

[Level 6 dungeon - You have acquired a permit to enter the Eagle's Cliff. All stats are increased by 20 within the dungeon. The dungeon's information will be added to your minimap. All actions will be buffed within the dungeon.]

Surprisingly, it was a level 6 dungeon with large, flying monsters. However, by keeping in step with Jin, who turned his hooves into springs, and fiercely swinging his whip around, they were able to safely clear the dungeon.

They couldn't forget about Kratia, who cast a large scale debuff on their enemies, which slowed down all of their movements.

[Executing Bone Reinforcement on Jin Taylor by consuming the Lv6 Shadow Cliff Eagle's wing bone. A considerable amount of the effect is shared. Agility has increased by 2, and Magic by 1.]

[Kyuruuuuuuuuuuuu! Kihiooooooh! - King of Eagle's Cliff]

”How is it? Does it feel like you'll grow wings?”

”Nope.”

”Tch. As I thought, it had to be a level 7 elite for that...”

”Nope!”

Anything between 3,200 and 6,400 stats const.i.tuted level 6. In a level 6 dungeon, the dungeon boss would possess stats much greater than the ordinary monsters, yet they would often not reach level 7 and would still be level 6. So it made sense that Bone Reinforcement's effects were getting weaker!

But contrary to Lee s.h.i.+n Woo, who was disappointed that Jin didn't sprout wings, Jin looked at him with frigid eyes. It seemed only Kratia was allocated a reward that she actually wanted.

”Then let's go back. It seems like the golems are finished mining.”

”How much did your stats go up, s.h.i.+n Woo?”

”If I include the stat gains from my ice element and my intermediate elements, my stats increased by 50.”

”...You really are a cheater.”

Lee s.h.i.+n Woo thought that they might encounter troops under a general's command, or another hero on the way back to their hideout, but fortunately, that didn't happen. Instead, on the way back there was one topic of interest in the chatting channel.

[Lloyd H.K.: It feels like the high rank undead are on the move more.]

[Prince Altania: Tch, why now? Lloyd, do we need to group up?]

[Lloyd H.K.: I'm fine, since I'm with Erian right now. I'm actually worried about you.]

[Mentes Orun: Those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds periodically make a huge fuss, so don't be so worried. The Emperor probably ordered the 12 generals to go on a large-scale patrol.]

[Ye Jin Jin: Ugh, danger level 2 zones should be fine, right...? Mr. s.h.i.+n Woo, are you ok?]

[Lee s.h.i.+n Woo: No problem as of yet.]

Lee s.h.i.+n Woo replied as he sweated profusely. It seemed like they hadn't noticed his unease and went on with their conversation.

[Ethan Cruz: Even so, their movements are a bit excessive... Would I be overreacting if I were to say I feel like they're going to war?]

[Mentes Orun: War...? Who's fighting who?]

[Ethan Cruz: I wonder. I don't know that much. However, you know that there're several groups that move independently aside from us.]

[Lloyd H.K.: The 12 generals' agents are already too much for us, but you're saying that there're other groups out there...?]

[Prince Altania: Heng! Lloyd, wait a bit. I'll come over after I get to level 7.]

[Lloyd H.K.: Yeah, yeah. You're really reliable. I trust you.]

[Seira Von Retadane: ...Everyone, please keep yourselves hidden and do not make any large movements. It isn't the right time yet.]

[Prince Altania: You be careful too, Seira. Though I have no idea where you are!]

[Seira Von Retadane: Please call me Retadane.]

Lee s.h.i.+n Woo couldn't take it anymore and exited the chatting channel. Including the questions he wanted to ask Seira, which made his mouth itch, there were many things on his mind right now.

It was too clear that Lee s.h.i.+n Woo was the cause of this 'war' that Ethan Cruz was talking about. Was his misinformation making the Emperor uneasy right now!?

”For the time being, we shouldn't go to the golem main base.”

”I really like your way of causing trouble for others and then getting out of the situation by yourself.”

It seemed like his misinformation regarding the secret facility that both the Emperor and the golems wanted was in full swing, and causing chaos within the Empire. The reason Lee s.h.i.+n Woo hadn't known about any of it was because he had been concentrating on making wine and golems!

”In any case, let's think positively. They can't just ignore Anti-Skull anymore!”

”How can you be so evil...”

Lee s.h.i.+n Woo led his party (including his recently acquired Silver Golems) and safely returned to his base without anyone knowing.

Regardless of whether or not the Empire's undead found the golems or Anti-Skull and caused chaos, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo wouldn't get himself involved.
