Chapter 62

The time the day’s schedule starts.

Every morning 5 o’clock the auction the government progresses is announced. Attaching the several dungeons discovered the previous day to auction according to guild priority by location.

Discovering a dungeon and reporting to the government could receive a reward.

Because of this there were even explorers professionally exploring dungeons to the extent, conversely speaking the guild side also operated such explorers.

“Kuu, this time’s grade 6 dungeon Ara Hongryeon will take.”

The executive of Terror Guild who confirmed the government’s announcement made a regrettable groan. And such his prediction exactly hit and could confirm Ara Hongryeon participating in the auction in real-time online.

Because location priority to Ara Hongryeon nothing could be done.

“This time nothing can be done. We aim for the grade 5 dungeon that occurred on the Gangwon-do side.”

“Have to. Uh? But look at this?”

“Why?”

The executive who first spouted regrettable sound tilted head. What such he was pointing was the dungeon participant list.

“Ara Hongryeon putting in 1st team?”

“Yes? Grade 6 awakener Jeong Soyeon? By any chance collaborating with 2nd team...”

“No, no. Only 1st team put on the list. What guts? Of course Jeong Soyeon is a grade 6 awakener but too bold?”

After auction participation the personnel to subjugate that dungeon also had to write the list in advance.

But could confirm Ara Hongryeon side only made 1st team participate in the grade 6 dungeon participation guild member list.

“This can’t we snatch?”

The government also adjusted priority in the auction based on this or so Terror Guild stealthily considered putting a foot.

But as if blocking such thought in advance the grade 6 dungeon was immediately successful bid.

“What? Right away?”

“This a bit strange. Awakener management headquarters side also clearly felt abnormality and would have contacted Ara Hongryeon.”

The ‘awakener management headquarters’ an institution the government operates was an institution doing middle management or coordinating between the government and guilds.

If an exceptional matter occurs clearly would have grasped the circumstances but seeing immediate successful bid meant stories already went back and forth.

“What? How persuaded?”

“Right. Shall we stealthily look into once?”

“Um, no. Grade 6 dungeon degree can be so. No need to make enemies with Ara Hongryeon for no reason with this.”

A bit suspicious but that was all.

Probably had a kind of countermeasure. Obtained a quite usable item in the previous dungeon farming, or Ara Hongryeon’s research team developed a new buff potion... Appealed that to the headquarters so successful bid.

‘The certain thing is there was power enhancement.’

The guild member beside stealthily saying will look into also clearly words meaning this. Meaning of looking into the cause of power enhancement.

“Come to think of it recently in Ara Hongryeon Guild there is an amazing newbie.”

“Hm? What sound is that?”

“A few days ago Ara Hongryeon newly received a guild member but mere grade 1 awakener.”

“Grade 1? Not confirmed wrong?”

Honestly this more didn’t make sense than the grade 6 dungeon successful bid matter. No matter how Ara Hongryeon called a toothless tiger not soft to the extent of accepting a mere grade 1 awakener.

“As it was too strange so separately investigated. Here the materials.”

“Yeah. Let’s see once.”

Terror Guild compared to other guilds not long history to the extent called new but the driving force able to compete for the 1st place was here.

Information power that if wanting to find out can find out.

And in the materials the guild member obtained the story about Lee Gyuseong was contained fairly detailed.

“Even 3 years since awakened until now grade 1? Plus until now unaffiliated? Ability is ‘liquid synthesis’.”

To the extent of finding out even the ability name Terror Guild’s information power deeply infiltrated. Evidence that can confirm materials about awakener personal information stored in government institutions.

“What is liquid synthesis? What and Ara Hongryeon took?”

“Looking at the traces until now came out maintained livelihood by combining two kinds of potions into one. Efficacy weakens but a fairly usable ability. But the problem seems the cooldown. Speculation seems only once a day the limit.”

“If unable to use only once a day a bit ambiguous. But Ara Hongryeon side found a method to use this once innovatively?”

“The information analysis team is grasping so. Come to think of it the reason able to successful bid the grade 6 dungeon that came out in today’s auction right away not related to that?”

“Possibility. But still don’t know the reason. Even so mere grade 1. No matter how ingenious the ability the limit of the ability that can manifest too clear.”

In an unexpected place the story about Gyuseong actively went back and forth. But exactly such a point was the driving force that mere new Terror Guild rose to a guild aiming for domestic 1st.

“And one more thing found out.”

“What?”

“The contract period with Ara Hongryeon mere 2 years.”

“What? 2 years? What meaning this again. Use and discard soon?”

“For that the contract conditions very generous. Look here.”

Before I knew it Terror Guild that even brought the contract content. The executive of Terror Guild who confirmed the content lowly flowed admiration.

“Oh, extremely generous? Not the treatment of a grade 1 awakener?”

“The contract period also high probability of setting deliberately as consideration dimension.”

“This gradually more curious? Moreover if mere 2 year contract, 2 years later we also have scout opportunity right?”

“Right.”

“Good. Attach a dedicated mark. Grasp all information about Lee Gyuseong. And if confirmed there is something enter laying the cornerstone in advance for recruitment.”

“Understood.”

Not only Terror Guild.

Already Iron Blood Guild side who knows Lee Gyuseong’s identity was preparing an unprecedented proposal for 2 years later.

Other domestic prominent guilds also in a situation of lighting both eyes due to food materials possessing item effects gradually Gyuseong’s existence was about to be revealed.

* * *

Jaeseong’s study abroad was prepared in an instant.

Informed the parents by phone call and without luggage followed Junichi with bare body and boarded the plane and left.

Just awakened topic and study abroad ended in one go.

‘Somehow mindlessly ended?’

Relatively fortunate that if wanting to return can return soon. Mere 2 hours distance by plane so anytime can come and go.

By the way never thought both brothers would awaken. Not common but occasionally existing matter.

-Where is such a thing! I!

Thanks to informing this fact to younger sister Seona went wild. Among us the one most interested in awakeners was Seona so understanding feeling wronged.

But what to do. This brother not a person who makes awaken. Would I know Jaeseong would awaken.

Like that bumping left and right Jaeseong’s epic ended and returning to the dungeon several slimes wriggled and welcomed us.

But somehow empty...

“Gomgomi not here!”

Ara with wide eyes confirmed the surroundings and shouted.

At the same time from inside a strange sound was heard.

-...Kwang.

“Uh? Something heard?”

“Gomgomi! Gomgomi!”

Listening carefully again the direction of the stairs leading to Gluttony’s dungeon. Going that way together with Ara at the entrance of the stairs slimes gathered closely and wriggling were visible.

Wriggle!

Mark Two who discovered me wriggled as if asking for help. What so on earth?

-Kuwaang!

Looking down below Gomgomi and several slimes unable to come up the stairs were visible.

The guys who discovered me made a sorrowful cry and welcomed.

“What’s the matter. Why here?”

“Gomgomi! Dokdok! Recruit!”

Ara ran down the stairs udada.

I also followed behind and picked up the slimes fallen in the middle.

The slimes also seemed trapped trying to save Gomgomi. Usually slimes who didn’t even approach here so probably my guess right.

-Kwang!

Gomgomi who met Ara made a sorrowful cry and shed chicken poop-like tears drop by drop.

Ara stroked such Gomgomi’s head and comforted.

“Were scared? Don’t worry!”

“How came here? Come this way.”

Relatively seemed came up a few stairs stepping on the slimes’ heads but the slimes who sacrificed their heads ultimately left one by one so seemed unable to come up to the end.

Held Ara holding Gomgomi up and held in arms.

At the same time put the trapped slimes together on shoulder or head, and remaining arm and came up the stairs.

“Were scared? Have to install a structure on the stairs so can go up and down separately.”

Finally Gomgomi and the slimes who came up to the ground. Probably from the morning me and Ara went out continuously trapped here.

-Kuwaang!

“Aigu. Were sorrowful? Eat honey, honey.”

Brought honey and fed to Gomgomi still rubbing the body and shedding tears drop by drop. Coming out to a bright place whether calmed a bit soon Gomgomi scooping honey.

“But why were there?”

“Why were!”

When Ara asked Gomgomi started krung krung and making some excuse. And Ara who understood Gomgomi’s words interpreted.

-Krueng!

“Wanted to help!”

-Krong! Krong!

“Delicious mushroom there! Wanted to give to good giant!...What is good giant?”

-Kang!

“Not here! Many in the place I came from!”

Wanted to get mushrooms for me and tried to return to Gluttony’s dungeon. But the door didn’t open.

At too cute Gomgomi’s idea a smile was made without knowing.

By the way mushroom...

An unexpected food material came out again.

‘Until now mushrooms discovered in the industry all poisonous mushrooms right?’

The number of dungeons awakeners subjugate in one day exceeded dozens. Worldwide much more.

Among them if no one mushroom an impossible matter.

But the mushrooms discovered and investigated until now all poisonous mushrooms.

If Gomgomi not having resistance to poison clearly informing there are edible mushrooms.

“Seems haven’t seen mushrooms in Gluttony’s dungeon amazing. Is there a colony somewhere?”

When I held a question and muttered to myself Ara interpreted to Gomgomi as is. Then Gomgomi again made all sorts of gestures and kraang.

“Buried underground! Gomgomi can smell and dig!”

“Oh?!”

This a bit surprised?

Thinking about it the truffle mushroom called world 3 major delicacies until dungeons appeared also buried underground.

Even though I thoroughly looked around all while walking Gluttony’s dungeon the reason not discovered there was a reason.

-Kwaang! Kang!

“Delicious! Sweet potato also delicious but mushroom also delicious!”

“Gomgomi saying delicious so looking forward.”

Gomgomi a monster who lived around the World Tree.

That mushroom also high probability of obtaining nutrients from the World Tree’s roots.

A mushroom that sucked the World Tree’s nutrients.

Can’t not be delicious!

“Shall we go right now?”

“Ooh! Good!”

-Krong?
