Episode 359
Ep. 359
In the meantime, Ihyeon and Yunjung had arrived at the guild headquarters.
Since they were using the headquarters of a regional guild that had originally been located in Busan, it wasn’t as ornate or massive as the large guilds in Seoul, but the grounds themselves were quite spacious.
That’s why they could proceed with this construction project.
Among all this, Ihyeon discovered a building that stood out rather incongruously with its surroundings, still surrounded by construction safety barriers.
“Could it be… that building?”
“Oh my, you really do see it right away!”
There was no need for Ihyeon to be impressed—it was simply the only building under construction in the vicinity.
But setting that aside for now….
‘What on earth did they build to make it this enormous?’
A small warehouse?
Ihyeon was left speechless by the overwhelming and majestic scale that appeared even larger than the guild headquarters’ main building.
Yunjung had been so confident, saying “Once the building is revealed, Master Ilgeok won’t be able to come even if he wanted to.”
It wasn’t just an ordinary building—they had constructed an entire massive structure.
That three people built this… it looked like even heavy machinery would be astounded and flipped upside down.
In any case, with construction finished and the interior and exterior completely cleaned up, there were only “No Entry” signs around with no one actually guarding it.
Yunjung skillfully opened an entrance that barely distinguished itself from the safety barriers and guided Ihyeon, Jia, Elsie, and Blue inside.
“Come on in, come on in~”
Inside the safety barriers was a building as magnificent and modern as its enormous size suggested….
“W-what is this, Master?”
“I… I have no idea either….”
Instead, there stood one very, very bizarre tower with a grotesque and metaphysical form.
It was only because Yunjung was giggling away that they didn’t report it to the authorities as an instant tower that had appeared.
The system window that should have appeared with an instant tower didn’t show up either.
Then.
“Beep beep beep.”
Blue, who had been staring intently up at the bizarre tower, spoke.
“78.56% similarity to the irregular patterns of an instant tower. Golems do not make qualitative assessments, but if this is an artificial structure, it’s at an extraordinary level.”
“R-really…?”
With Blue’s certification added, it could indeed be called a masterpiece.
Yunjung laughed brightly and spoke.
“It seems the Knights said this is the architectural style they’re most confident in.”
So one’s origins truly can’t be hidden?
‘Oh dear, this is merely referring to items the Knights obtained from the tower, absolutely not intended to foster any unnecessary regional sentiment or anything like that….’
In any case, Yunjung found the entrance to the tower that suspiciously resembled that instant tower.
But on the plaque attached to the tower’s entrance was.
[ Ilgeok Memorial Hall ]
“…?”
To Ihyeon, the building’s name seemed even more bizarre than the tower’s exterior.
Ihyeon asked Yunjung what on earth this was about.
Only then did Yunjung reveal the secret behind this building.
“Ah, last time Ilgyeok said it was fine to build a training hall using the trees from the garden, remember?”
“Yes.”
“But while building it, it seemed a bit plain, so I named it the Ilgyeok Memorial Hall to give it both meaning and style.”
“…Without my knowledge?”
I’d heard plenty of stories about the One-Strike Service Corps without Ilgyeok and the Ilgeuk Foundation without Ilgyeok, but this was my first time hearing about a memorial hall I didn’t know about.
Yunjung answered Ihyeon’s question with a sheepish smile.
“They say the right hand shouldn’t let the left hand know what it’s doing, right?”
That’s something hands say to each other!
“But what if the right hand does things without the head knowing?”
“Ah… I see, I hadn’t thought that far ahead.”
At Ihyeon’s point, Yunjung looked up at the plaque with a deeply regretful expression.
Every time I saw her, she had good abilities, but there was always something loose about her—a screw missing somewhere.
However, I couldn’t very well ask her to tear down a building that was already constructed.
“I absolutely! Absolutely didn’t display anything that could identify Ilgyeok’s identity, so you can rest assured about that! I personally verified everything!”
‘The fact that you personally verified it makes me trust it even less….’
Ihyeon harbored a thought that would wound the legendary Black Agent Yunjung quite deeply, but fortunately, he didn’t voice it aloud.
Fortunately, the interior of the Ilgyeok Memorial Hall turned out to be far more reasonable than Ihyeon’s concerns had suggested.
It simply contained the date when Ilgyeok first cleared the Main Tower 1st Floor, the records from each subsequent floor, and all the Gates and Instant Towers cleared so far.
You could say the information—things easily discoverable by searching the internet—had been recorded in a slightly more plausible and elaborate manner.
– Haha, going to Korea to find Ilgyeok was a big decision for me too. But the results were excellent. Young people of South Korea and the world, I hope you always live with courage like me. And the adversity before you now….
– Claude! When exactly are you going to work?! How many days has it been since you got here and you’re still slacking off?
– Let’s do our best to overcome it. Well then, I’m busy so….
The video room was playing congratulatory messages and words of encouragement from people like Claude, Seongnyun, Hanryeol, and others who had connections with Ihyeon, large and small, up until now.
And next to that.
[ Relic Hall ]
‘What is this now?’
There was another exhibition hall with a name that made Ihyeon tilt his head once more.
Yunjung explained with a triumphant smile.
“This is the very heart and finest space of the memorial hall.”
“What on earth could it be…?”
“Hehe, you’ll see once you go inside.”
Yunjung led Ihyeon forward with quick steps, as if she herself was excited.
In truth, if you thought about it even a little, it was obvious what would be displayed in the Relic Hall.
I had rarely left behind anything that could be called a “relic” so far.
[ 84th Floor, Combat Gauntlets of the Giant Volcano Worm ]
[ 81st Floor, Claws of Ilgyeok’s Lava Lava ]
[ Gaecheon District Gate, Bone Projectile Presumed to Belong to Ilgyeok ]
‘…How did they manage to collect all of this?’
The combat gloves I’d handed over to the Ilgeuk Foundation were their business, so I’ll give them a hundred passes and say they ended up here.
But the other two should have been managed by the Management Bureau or the government, yet here they were suddenly on display in this place.
Yunjung raised one eyebrow and spoke.
“When I explained the purpose of this project well, they were quite willing to hand them over.”
“Is that so?”
Come to think of it, the Management Bureau probably had no particular use for those items anyway.
You can’t just make items with claws bearing the name ‘Ilgeok’ or transfer them to other Hunters.
As for the bone bullets I fired when processing the gate, there’s no need to mention those.
Perhaps handing them over to a place like this was the optimal way to establish credibility and gain recognition.
“But isn’t the exhibition hall a bit too empty for its size….”
The problem was simply that the allocated space was far too large for displaying three types of items.
Would it look better if it were packed with tourists?
‘No, it would probably look even more bizarre, not fuller.’
Ihyeon didn’t think so.
But Yunjung waved her hand dismissively.
“Why worry about such things?”
“If you make the space this large and only display three items, doesn’t it look strange?”
“Come on, anything with the ‘Ilgeok’ name attached sells out in South Korea. And these are items that Ilgeok actually handed over to various places, right? I actually want to make the space even larger to prepare for unexpected accidents. More items might be added in the future.”
“Hmm, that’s a fair point. Master, that spy fox may look odd, but she’s actually quite smart.”
“What do I look like!”
As Elsie nodded in agreement, Yunjung let out a yelp.
I’ve never heard anyone say I’m ugly, no matter where I go!
After hearing such an explanation, Ihyeon found himself understanding the point.
‘Indeed, in this crazy era where a Goblin bone sells for fifty million won just because my name is attached to it, I should be worried about security, not space.’
Generally, in a culturally advanced nation like Korea, exhibition pieces don’t get stolen, but with the Ilgeok name attached? Who knows!
Ihyeon hoped that soon the memorial hall wouldn’t appear on TV with unfortunate news.
“But your expression doesn’t look very good. Are you perhaps dissatisfied?”
Yunjung asked, observing Ihyeon’s complexion, which hadn’t improved despite all misunderstandings being cleared up.
Ihyeon shook his head.
“No, it’s a space made for me, so of course I’m pleased.”
“Then what?”
“It’s just that a memorial hall or artifact museum feels like honoring the dead.”
“…I see.”
Only then did Yunjung realize the reason for Ihyeon’s dark expression and clapped her hands softly.
It seemed the name would need to be changed.
“I’m sorry. I hadn’t thought that far ahead.”
“It’s fine. What’s the big deal?”
“We can change the name right away~ Now, the real beginning starts from the next floor, so follow me!”
Ihyeon followed Yunjung again toward the staircase.
Compared to the bizarre exterior, the interior was cleaner and more modern than expected.
The layout wasn’t particularly complicated, so even first-time visitors should have no trouble finding their way.
Behind me, Elsie confidently spouted something like, “So what? When hawks age, they break all their talons and beaks and are reborn anew, so Master should just be reborn too since things have come to this!”
“Elsie, that’s incorrect information.”
“What, what?! Are you dismissing the concept of rebirth right now?!”
“Logically speaking, does it make sense that an old hawk would do such a thing?”
And it was Elsie herself, not a hawk, who had been reborn.
When Elsie searched the internet for stories about aging hawks, her entire world crumbled.
As we ascended one floor, Yunjung began her explanation.
“Actually, what we just saw was the lobby floor. The real 1st Floor starts here.”
There was naturally a reason for this.
[ Training Tower ]
The name itself suggested it had been created with considerable determination.
True to its name, the Training Tower consisted of five floors from this point onward.
They’d arranged traffic control beforehand to prevent confusion that might arise from calling the lobby floor the 1st Floor.
At first glance, the 1st Floor’s layout was simple—a large door dominated the front, with several large screens lining both sides.
Creak—
As Yunjung pushed the door open, beyond it was—
“Is this similar to our home garden?”
“Yes! Since it was created with Ilgyeok’s garden as the motif. Of course, as you go up to higher floors, there are increasingly complex mechanisms and traps installed!”
All manner of trees and vines planted in Ihyeon’s garden were neatly arranged to greet visitors.
Naturally, once inside, the atmosphere would be completely different from what Yunjung had experienced.
Only then did Ihyeon notice the plaque above the large door.
[ Ilgyeok passes through places like this as part of daily life. ]
‘Well, it is my daily routine, but…’
Those unfamiliar with it would think that Ilgyeok’s home had such a beautifully maintained garden.
Their thoughts would change completely once they entered.
“Then what are those screens on both sides?”
“Ta-da!”
Yunjung went to the empty counter and made several adjustments.
Then the screens began turning on one by one.
[ Nickname Floor Reached Final Score
1.
2.
3.
4.
… ]
Since no one had used it yet, it was naturally empty, but most were leaderboards in this format.
Another displayed a general guide to the Training Tower.
And several others appeared to be internal CCTV screens created to monitor the situation.
“I see.”
Ihyeon let out an exclamation at the quite plausible structure.
For Ihyeon, who had no intention of losing a bet, such a ranking system was quite a powerful motivator.
Yunjung noticed Ihyeon’s thoughts just from his expression and chuckled as she spoke.
“What do you think?”
“It’s excellent. With a system like this, people will be able to approach it with a competitive spirit.”
“That’s exactly what I was aiming for~ You can set your nickname freely, and any Hunter will be able to challenge it. It consists of five floors total, but I estimate it will take about three years before someone successfully clears all the floors for the first time.”
Yunjung paused for a moment, then asked carefully.
“So I’d like to ask a favor of everyone gathered here.”
“What is it?”
“Please tell us.”
“What’s wrong?”
It was quite unusual for Yunjung, who normally overflowed with confidence and liveliness, to act this way, so Ihyeon and the two Spirits also took interest.
Yunjung spoke with an embarrassed laugh.
“The truth is, this is the first public project I’ve taken on since joining Ilgeuk Commerce. It’s something I really need for a successful launch, but…”
