Chapter 241
241: Wait? This Here?! (1)
* * *
Due to Dohyun’s relentlessly persistent negotiations, not only the Council Chairman but also every Council Member threw up their hands in surrender.
In the end, the commission fee that Dohyun had wrested—no, torn—from them amounted to 10 million Points per Party, plus one relic each from those stored in the Council Warehouse, a conclusion that naturally included Baeryujin’s share as well.
Watching Dohyun extract payment with such ruthless determination, even the members of the same Attack Team could only shake their heads in amazement. Of course, no one harbored complaints, as they all stood to gain considerably from Dohyun’s efforts.
If anything.
“You’re truly remarkable. Thank you so much!”
“Wow, to extract this much from the Council itself… We’re genuinely grateful!”
“Thank you.”
“To be honest, we’ve been letting things slide for too long.”
“We should learn from Dohyun going forward.”
The members of the Celestial Party and the Falling Leaves Party spoke with admiration, while Hezway, Terra, and Weasel—all Dragon-humans—gazed at Dohyun with considerable respect.
“Well, we haven’t received the items yet, so there’s no rush to thank me. Let’s collect them first,” Dohyun said with a smile.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Though Dohyun had said as much, they were already en route—toward the Council Warehouse.
It wasn’t far from Baul, but just to be safe, they had boarded the Celestial Ship, the largest vessel among the five Parties, and were now traveling in it.
Baeryujin had come along as well.
“Hmph, you certainly wrested my share quite thoroughly.”
Baeryujin had heard how Dohyun had turned the Council upside down, and while he found it satisfying, he also felt a twinge of sympathy—though his words fell on deaf ears.
“Isn’t it natural for a disciple to wring out the master’s share?”
“And you think I don’t see through your scheme to keep it for yourself?”
“What? Weren’t you going to give it to me?”
“…What kind of shameless brat are you?”
Too brazen for words, Dohyun simply grinned as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
“Instead, I’ll give you a magical pouch filled with food.”
“…Fine, then.”
“And I’ve already arranged with the Celestials to occasionally bring you provisions—so don’t be upset.”
“Did you just say ‘provisions’ like I’m some kind of—”
“Don’t worry about such trivial details~”
Baeryujin couldn’t quite tell if Dohyun was looking after him or mocking him, but he could sense the genuine care beneath it all.
Besides, relics held no real value for him anyway. He had intended to graciously yield his share, but now he felt oddly cheated.
Still, he could feel that Dohyun was thinking of him, so he said nothing more.
After exchanging a few light jabs of banter, Baeryujin stepped off the ship and spoke.
“I’ll wait outside then. You’ll need time to prepare for the expedition.”
“Yes, Master. Please wait just a moment.”
“We’ll be quick.”
“Thank you for your patience.”
Dohyun waved his hand in farewell, and when Hanalin and Jiyuchan echoed his words, Baeryujin chuckled and disembarked.
Not long after Baeryujin left the ship, they arrived at Borg, the Safe Zone that served as the benchmark for the Central Zone and where the Council was located.
“Hehehehe, let’s clean them out completely.”
“…Brother, if you keep doing that, won’t we look like villains?”
“Please stop.”
At Dohyun’s words, both Hanalin and Jiyuchan spoke with embarrassment, while the other Attack Team members harbored similar thoughts.
‘…It’s really reassuring, though.’
‘Thank goodness they’re not in the same party as us.’
‘Seriously.’
With those thoughts, everyone docked at the Safe Zone Borg.
* * *
The first thing we did upon arriving at Borg was dividing the party. Since there was no need for everyone to rush off to obtain the relics, we decided that only the party leaders would remain to acquire them. For the Dohyun Party, which needed to obtain two relics, both of us would go.
Thus, the five who would enter the vault were Hezway, Ines, Jerome, and finally Dohyun and Hanalin.
Jiyuchan was excluded because he was less skilled at reading mana than Hanalin, so naturally he didn’t go. The party members who were left behind all prepared supplies needed for the battle against Davy Jones and even decided to maintain the ship just in case.
When the five of us arrived at the Council Building, the Council Chairman—a portly man with rolls of fat—came waddling over to greet us instead of sending staff as would normally be done.
“Welcome….”
One might have felt some pity seeing him completely devoid of energy, but Dohyun already knew through Analysis that even this appearance was an affectation, so he didn’t feel particularly sympathetic.
After all, we were here to receive our reward.
Dohyun’s group exchanged light greetings with the Council Chairman.
“It’s an honor to meet you in person like this.”
“Pleased to meet you.”
“It’s nice to see you.”
“I didn’t expect the Council Chairman to come himself. Pleased to meet you.”
“How do you do.”
“Anyway, let’s go.”
Dohyun’s remark wasn’t exactly a greeting, but no one minded. Even the Council Chairman here knew full well how ruthless Dohyun could be.
In any case, since we had a purpose for being here, the Council Chairman took the lead and guided us toward the vault.
Of course, he made quite a show of it along the way.
“Hehehehe, this situation is quite unprecedented. It’s rare for us to provide advance payment before the subjugation is even complete. You could say this is a gift we’re offering with our sincere apologies.”
Without bothering to respond to the lengthy explanation, Dohyun simply nodded in acknowledgment, and the rest of the group did the same.
After all, if the Council hadn’t made a mistake in the first place, Dohyun wouldn’t have stepped in like this. It was simply reaping what they had sown.
In any case, as the boar-type Birdman Council Chairman guided us while sweating profusely, we arrived at the Lowest Level, the deepest part of the Council Building.
Seeing the thick iron door and the intricate magical formations carved into it that seemed impossible to penetrate, Dohyun and Hanalin, who were visiting this place for the first time, let out exclamations of admiration.
“Oh?”
“It’s quite impressive.”
Hanalin, who rarely called anything impressive after witnessing so much magic, had no choice but to acknowledge it this time. The impact-prevention magic and the locked magical formations were woven with such exquisite precision that if one saw this and didn’t call it impressive, they might as well give up magic entirely.
Dohyun also marveled at the magnificent magic embedded within, but since there were treasures far more important than such magic waiting inside that vault, he decided to set aside such thoughts for now.
As I was wondering what kind of relics might be in there, the Council Chairman spoke directly.
“Due to this magical formation, only one person at a time can enter. And you can only take out one item each, so please choose carefully.”
Just as Dohyun was about to step forward, Hezway subtly cautioned him not to be careless.
“Once you’re inside, your mana will be disrupted, making it difficult to appraise items using mana. You’ll have to appraise them based solely on their appearance and the aura you feel, so it might be somewhat challenging.”
At Hezway’s words, the Council Chairman’s expression darkened slightly. While Dohyun was the best at appraisal, it was virtually impossible to appraise without being able to manipulate mana. Hezway spoke to Dohyun as if to say not to be surprised, and Dohyun chuckled at those words.
I knew what Hezway was worried about, but I was fine with it.
A normal Emotion User might have been affected, but Dohyun was not.
‘I don’t sense emotions through mana.’
Dohyun thought the same to himself and stepped forward first. Normally, he would enter last, but this time he decided to go in ahead personally.
Before arriving here, he already knew from Hezway’s advice that they could enter one at a time and retrieve items one by one. Since Dohyun had promised to use his Emotion ability to identify useful items, he decided to enter first.
To find the perfect items for the Hezway Party, Ines’s party, the Falling Leaves Party, and even Hanalin, Dohyun stepped forward first. The Council Chairman’s eyes showed considerable displeasure, but he tried to hide it and spoke with a forced smile.
“Hehe, if you’re ready, please go ahead.”
At the Council Chairman’s words, Dohyun finally stood before the long-awaited vault. He extended his foot and began walking slowly.
Then.
Thump. Thump.
As if Dohyun were walking across a lake, ripples spread across the ground, shimmering with a mysterious blue light that reached the iron door. The door gradually began to open at the ripples’ touch, and as Dohyun stood before it, the iron door opened completely.
Surprised by the remarkable sight, Dohyun exclaimed in admiration, and Hanalin, seeing it for the first time, was quite amazed as well.
‘Oh.’
Dohyun thought this must be how it opens, then nodded and stepped inside.
Then.
Boom—!
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
The moment Dohyun entered, the iron door slammed shut with force, and the magical torches hanging inside the vault ignited.
Witnessing a scene straight out of a movie, Dohyun smiled slightly and quickly surveyed what was around him.
The instant he glanced around, Analysis was already telling him what each item was, so his assessment came remarkably quickly.
‘Wow.’
And looking at the place, Dohyun couldn’t help but marvel.
Was it because the artifacts were of exceptional quality? No, that wasn’t it.
‘They even put decorative swords with no effects in here.’
It was quite absurd that they mixed in decorative items just in case good items might be stolen, but he supposed it made sense.
Moreover.
‘Most of these are just ordinary items.’
Since a large number of regular items were mixed in alongside artifacts, Dohyun could only shake his head.
Well, if it was for a group, he understood the need to be frugal, but it seemed excessive. He looked around here and there.
And among them, he could see several artifacts, but so far there were none worth using.
By Dohyun’s standards, an artifact needed to be at least at the level of the Apocalypse Chain Censer to qualify, so lacking any satisfactory artifacts, as he wandered with his vision filled with item descriptions, Analysis displayed new text before his eyes.
[「Grim Reaper’s Eye [S]」 is reacting to an artifact.]
Dohyun’s eyes widened at those words.
