Chapter 265

Deuel Workshop (1)

After killing Changwang, quite some time had passed.

If the rest I had before was fake, then this could be called a true rest.

What I did was simple.

When I woke up in the morning, I climbed the mountain and poured the remaining energy into the Destruction Dragon’s egg.

Then, my energy would truly drain away.

My body would become so weary that I would want to do nothing but sleep.

Then, I would soak myself in the tub in the temporary building.

Whirr!

While soaking in the hot water, I would take in the sight of the magnificent metropolis being built.

“Kuh, yeah, you rascal! That’s what you call rest!”

The Old Man nodded excitedly.

After warming my body and stirring around, what should I do next?

There was only one answer.

Cool myself down.

And the recommended way to do that was.

Click! Pshhh!

A cold can of beer that had been in the freezer for 30 minutes.

If I put the cold beer to my lips and gulp it down my throat?

Glug, glug!

“Kyah.”

I felt vitality returning to my weary body.

“Good.”

In fact, this was almost the first time I had rested like this.

Everyone said I needed a rest, so I rested.

Really doing nothing and just playing around.

In other words, staying home.

I didn’t even go outside of Peach Blossom Land.

Movies?

I didn’t even watch them anymore, worried about getting caught up in incidents and accidents.

Resort?

Could there be a resort in this world as beautiful as Peach Blossom Land?

I fully enjoyed the fruits of becoming a Ranker as a celebration.

In short, it felt like this.

There is a high and steep mountain called Rank 1.

Trying to complete it in one go could lead to death.

Muscles could tear, or lungs could collapse.

Therefore.

To climb it, you need to rest in between.

You need to cool down your hot feet and loosen your stiff muscles.

And you need to replenish your energy.

Of course, I wasn’t completely at ease.

Because there were many things to do.

I had to unravel the secrets of the SS-class.

I also had to train the Absolutes.

Also, I was still at the beginning of Myriad skills.

Magic, Spear Art, Swordsmanship, Martial Arts, Dagger Art, Archery, Shield Art, and so on…

There were still countless things to learn and train.

“Quiet, and rest for now! If you don’t rest, I won’t have anything more to teach you! What can I teach a disciple who ignores his master’s advice!”

If it weren’t for the Old Man, I might have already picked up a weapon.

Even now, I would be discussing and clashing with my subordinates, honing my skills.

That’s how 3 months passed.

During that time, many things changed.

My reputation in the community grew more and more legendary.

Accordingly, the popularity of the group also increased tremendously.

“Guild Master!”

On the 91st day after the rest.

Kim Jin-ah came to the bathhouse.

Perhaps because it was the weekend, she was wearing a baseball cap and casual sweats instead of a suit.

“This is a list of Rankers who have applied since I posted the recruitment notice last time. Would you like to take a look? It’s amazing, amazing!”

She smiled brightly, as if she was more excited than ever.

I liked Kim Jin-ah for this unexpected charm.

When she was dressed in a suit and makeup, acting as a career woman, she was endlessly girl-crush.

But when she was wearing comfortable casual clothes like this, she had a comforting feeling like a country girl.

Do people in the world know?

This side of Kim Jin-ah?

“Oh, really?”

Whirr!

I took the documents she handed me, drying my hands that came out of the water with simple drying magic.

It showed a list of applicants who were Rankers.

[Applicant List]

Rank 80, Dragon Knight Matt Gerald

Rank 107, Yak-jon Ji Do-ik

Rank 110, Divine Eagle Crone San San

Rank 245, White Magician Do Ha-rang

Rank 460, Earth Witch Emily Strip

Rank 601, Fighting Tiger Adrian Frankle

Rank 720, Twin Blades Lauren

Rank 738, Spring Apostle Myoi Hana

Rank 830, Gladiator Christian Gilliam

Rank 850, Shadow Secret Ninomae Noah

Rank 930, Poet of Praha Agnes

“Wow, that’s a lot?”

I widened my eyes.

I expected it to some extent because she said it was amazing.

But I didn’t expect there to be this many.

People often say.

Finding one Ranker is like picking a star from the sky.

Especially overseas Rankers, who are usually pressured by their countries or people to join domestic groups, so it is rare for them to come out.

‘Besides.’

It’s fortunate that my level has improved now.

In the past, I couldn’t even make eye contact with Rankers in the 900s.

In fact, I was scared of just seeing a golden S-class nameplate.

There was even a time when just getting into the rankings was my dream.

But now, 11 Rankers have applied.

How could I not feel moved?

“Most of them are emerging Rankers. Hehehe.”

Kim Jin-ah had a happy expression.

“It’s unusual. Usually, some of the emerging Rankers abandon their existing groups and go to the Big 3, right? But the fact that they applied here means they see great potential in our guild. Rather than staying as the tail of a snake in the Big 3, they want to come to our side, which has the potential for development, and become founding members.”

“Even so, even high Rankers…”

The list at the top.

Rank 80, Dragon Knight Matt Gerald, I knew him well.

He rides a dragon, but it’s actually a drake, not a dragon.

“Hehehe, it means we’re becoming a big guild that even high Rankers can covet!”

“I see some familiar names too?”

When I lowered my eyes, I saw the name ‘Myoi Hana’.

Isn’t she my classmate?

“Yes, I received a call that she would apply this time. You see Shadow Secret at Rank 850? Ms. Ninomae Noah. I think they’re friends. She said she’s bringing her along.”

“Heoh.”

I remembered her calmly and accurately providing Healing during Delilah’s ordeal.

Yes.

Myoi Hana is welcome anytime.

“Oh, and you see a lot of magicians, right?”

“I do.”

White Magician Do Ha-rang and.

Earth Witch Emily Strip.

“Do Ha-rang is a Korean magician. I don’t know how the rumors spread, but they both said they wanted to learn magic in Otherworld rather than the Magic Tower?”

“Hehe, that’s interesting. They have good insight?”

Sophia is great, but.

Our Arin is also great.

“And finally.”

Snap!

Kim Jin-ah snapped her fingers.

“The problem is Divine Eagle Crone San San. When I investigated, there were many bad rumors, such as human trafficking and murder, so I’m going to filter her out.”

“Yes, investigate and filter out anyone with personality problems right away.”

“Right, isn’t it? That’s right. We’re not at the level where we’ll accept anyone just because they have good specs! Hehe, we don’t need to feel bad about it.”

She took out her phone and swiped it excitedly.

She must be so happy that there are more Rankers.

Anyway.

She shared the trivial information of the Rankers with me and received permission.

The Ranker membership issue is important, no matter what?

“Oh, and.”

Kim Jin-ah, who had finished organizing, raised her head.

“You know tomorrow is the cutting ceremony, right?”

“…Cutting ceremony?”

“I told you before! That our building in Uiwang is completed!”

“Ah.”

I had been in homebody mode lately, so I had forgotten for a moment.

Kim Jin-ah, Demir, and Eldrin occasionally met and talked about it.

They said I would be surprised.

They told me to look forward to it because it was a surprise.

“Maybe reporters and people will flock there, so just show your face briefly at that time. You haven’t seen what the building looks like yet, have you?”

“I haven’t been out much lately.”

“Haha, Guild Master.”

“Yes?”

“You can look forward to it. It’s really magnificent.”

Early the next morning.

At the Baegun Lake trail in Uiwang.

Many people and reporters gathered.

Flash! Flash!

The sound of shutters kept hitting the space.

Buzz, buzz.

The spectators who heard the news of Otherworld’s cutting ceremony were waiting for the event to proceed.

So many people filled the area around the lake.

The reason why they were so interested was simple.

About a week ago.

Kim Jin-ah announced through an article.

[Otherworld will reopen the closed old Demir Workshop under the name of the new De L’s Workshop!]

[After the opening ceremony! There will be a massive promotion for a week, so please use it a lot!]

First, the new workshop, “De L”.

The news that they had purchased the Uiwang site with the help of the state had been released.

But after that, no information was released on how it was being built.

Because of security and such.

The design itself was done in secret.

And the Baegun Lake site was covered in an unidentified fog.

“What on earth is being built in that fog?”

“I’m looking forward to it. Hurry up and reveal it…! How many people have gathered now!”

“It seems like everyone who’s coming has come! Stop the fog!”

Some people complained.

But the absolute power here is the group, Otherworld.

Until they revealed it, the spectators had no choice but to wait.

“But how long has it been since they bought the site and they’re already opening? Is Otherworld’s business not doing well these days, so they’re doing it too hastily?”

“That could be. I heard that Demir’s finished products have more premiums attached this time.”

“Well, Demir’s products are so hard to get. It would be more profitable to sell even a poorly built building quickly.”

“Hey, but they’ve now grown into a global group, would they build a poorly built building?”

“Well, we’ll see when we see it. It’s starting soon.”

Someone said, looking at their wristwatch.

The opening time announced by Kim Jin-ah was 09:00 AM.

There was only 1 minute left.

But even though there was 1 minute left, Otherworld had not made any announcements.

Only a gentle fog was rising.

But people knew now.

How meticulous and how much Kim Jin-ah, the de facto leader of Otherworld, valued promises.

Was it because of their trust in her?

“……”

“……”

Without anyone telling them to.

It became quiet as if they had planned it.

“No, so how long do we have to wait…”

“Huh? What’s wrong? Why is the atmosphere like this?”

“Shh, shh, shh!”

Even the intermittent whispers felt the atmosphere and closed their mouths.

The Baegun Lake area was enveloped in silence.

And the waves of the lake were more regular and calm than ever.

Soon.

Pshhhhhh…

Exactly when 1 minute had passed.

The fog that had thickly concealed the other side of Baegun Lake slowly began to clear.

“Oh, oh!”

“It’s coming out!”

“Ooooooh!”

“Wooooow…”

Hundreds of cameras started operating simultaneously at the magnificent sight.

People opened their mouths and watched the scene.

What had been hidden.

The gradually revealed architecture.

“Oh, oh?”

“Huh?”

It wasn’t a building.

You could never call that a building.

“Dr, dragon?”

“What dragon?”

“Wh, what is that?”

Two giant dragon sculptures that filled the view in front of Baegun Lake were revealed.

Two dragons that seemed to be fighting each other while looking at each other.

The sight was majestic and magnificent.

“That is…”

A woman wearing a hood slowly took off her hood and shone her eyes.

The woman who came to Korea to support Otherworld was.

World Rank 738, Spring Apostle Myoi Hana.

“Hieeee? What is that? How can a dragon look so realistic…? Wow, I just got goosebumps. Sugoiiii!”

The woman next to her, who was surprised and asked, was her friend.

Shadow Secret Ninomae Noah.

She was an emerging Ranker at World Rank 850.

She also chose Dark Emperor Gi So-yul as the person she respected the most, and she also applied to Otherworld this time.

“Aranbalon and Giant Dragon…”

“Huh? What’s that?”

“I’ll explain it to you later.”

Gulp.

Myoi Hana swallowed.

The sight of the fiercely glaring two dragons.

It was because it created a sense of realism as if they were at the scene of Delilah’s ordeal at the time.

The two dragon sculptures were pointing their claws at each other.

And above the point where the two claws met.

Whirr!

A Portal existed.

A Portal that could lead to Otherworld’s main base, Peach Blossom Land.

And even the beautiful style of architecture built around it!
