[Traces of the Golem Master]

-Content: A golem master from the past created his secret space somewhere in the earth square. You need an unused mysterious stone to get to that space. But you won’t be able to get there quickly. You must have extensive knowledge of golems to find the answer, and if you can get into it, it will be of great help in future golem crafting.

-How to: Get 4 mysterious stones to get the key.

-Reward: [Bonus stat +10]

As Jun-woo was holding the mysterious stone in his hand, Jeong-su Oh approached and said,

“That’s great. I never thought you’d get such a high deal.”

“Thank you.”

“I just want to thank you for your help. But are you going to use the mysterious stone?”

Right after reading the Quest, Jun-woo had no intention of using it.

When used, the mystical stone turned into a rune of strength, stamina, etc.

Not knowing what Jung-soo Oh meant to ask, Jun-woo gave an ambiguous answer.

“I don’t know.”

“If you plan to use it, putting a stone into a pole wouldn’t be a bad idea.”

Jun-woo looked at Oh Jung-soo with a puzzled face.

“A pillar?”

“There is a place where you can place mystical stones in the plaza of the Earth. Did you not know?”

“Yeah, not at all… … .”

“It’s a place that smells like Hidden Peace, but it’s also where we haven’t found an answer yet.”

Jun-woo asked, blinking his eyes.

“Can I get more details?”

It seemed to be a place related to the Quest.

“It’s a little complicated to explain in words… For related documents, please ask Poonglim for cooperation.”

“Ah yes… Where are the pillars?”

“I have to go in a little bit more. For a few hours, there are a total of 3 places… I’ve been doing many different things, but now I’m giving up.”

“Okay… … .”

The Quest requires 4 mysterious stones and how to get a key with them.

It’s an unkind quest, but other people head to the ground to do this, but Jun-woo still has a clue.

If Jun-woo is correct, the designated places were not three but four.

Oh Jeong-soo said with a light smile.

“This brought up a bit of a conversation. Sometimes, places like this are just a waste of money and time.”

Many hidden peace positions could not be resolved worldwide.

Adventurers with a high passion for inquiry tried to solve it and experienced failure and setbacks.

However, sometimes some adventurers solved the problem and harvested sweet fruits.

“How can I get some related documents?”

“Did you need it?”

“Yeah, I’m a little curious.”

“All right. It’s not difficult, and if you come out, please give me a call. I will arrange it and send it to you right away.”

“Ah, thank you, I should have made this one, but I don’t think there is a suitable part.”

Oh Jeong-soo smiled lightly.

“If we can do anything to help each other, we should help.”

“Thank you. Please let me know if there is anything I can help with next time.”

“It’s reassuring to be a producer who can also hunt.”

Oh Jung-soo drew a satisfied smile.

Sakaguchi approached Yoshimura, who was sitting on the floor.

“Yoshimura, did Leon and Eumeria say they were siblings?”

“Is that so? Why all of a sudden?”

“It is nothing.”

Sakaguchi stepped back and looked at Leon and Eumeria alternately.

Leon had no wounds and was not bleeding.

Eumeria, on the other hand, had blood on her torn skin.

It was red blood.

If Leon and Eumeria were homunculi, their blood had to be blue.

‘Is it an illusion… …?’

Sakaguchi just looked at Leon suspiciously.

After talking with Oh Jeong-su, Jun-woo approached Eumeria.

“Are there any injuries?”

“Yeah. You don’t have to worry, sir.”

The color of the blood of Leon and Eumeria was initially supposed to be blue, the color of the magic crystal.

In a book, Jun-woo saw that the color of blood becomes red if you use the red magic stone that comes from the blood golem.

However, even though he could deceive the color of the blood by cheating, it was challenging to create a deep scar that even the bones could be seen.

The adamantium that made up the body could not be deceived.

So, Jun-woo had ordered Leon and Eumeria to be extra careful, which was why he was told not to approach the boss.

[Careful, Eumeria. Do you know what I mean?]

Eumeria looked at Jun-woo and nodded.

With this battle, Jun-woo’s destructive power was clearly imprinted on the guild members.

Lee Mina also showed a high contribution, as expected.

However, the thing that puzzled them was Leon.

They didn’t reveal much of their power, but they could tell they were incredibly talented.

Murata felt his gaze and whispered to Leon.

“Sir Leon, please be gentle a little.”

“okay. But do you really have to?”

“As I said, it should not be known that sir Leon is a homunculus now. I need to hide my identity a little more. There are many eyes to see now.”

“Okay.”

Soulstones were challenging to obtain and expensive.

If it was revealed that Jun-woo was making a homunculus, he would have tried to sell it at a high price.

Moreover, since the Dark Star could actively purchase soul stones, Jun-woo wanted to hide the homunculus as much as possible.

When the arrangement was finished, Oh Jeong-su left his last words to Jun-woo.

“Then please give me a call. We will return first.”

“Thank you. See you next time.”

“Then be careful, and I wish you all the best of luck.”

Oh Jeong-su bowed his head once and walked with the guild members.

After the Poongrim guild members left, Jun-woo’s guild members settled down and started hunting again.

As the day got dark, they united and moved in a direction where no monsters existed.

Under the stone mountain, Lee Mina moved the land to make a temporary residence.

The soil slowly climbed up, forming walls and covering the roof.

Houses without square doors quickly appeared one by one.

Amina built the house, made a large stone grill, and set a fire under it.

Various ingredients to be grilled were placed on the grill.

The food browned quickly.

Yoshimura took a bite of meat and spoke to Murata in a low voice.

“Wow, it’s delicious. It’s been a while since I started there, so I’m always grateful for the food. At that time, we ate even one small fruit.”

Murata nodded as if he had some sympathy and ate the food.

When Leon, who was next to Murata, began to eat food in a hurry, Yoshimura made a shocked expression once.

“Huh? Eat-in moderation.”

Yoshimura leaned her head toward Leon and whispered.

“You don’t have to eat it, Leon.”

Leon ate without answering, and Yoshimura hurriedly began to use his chopsticks.

The Japanese gathered with the Japanese to have dinner, and the four women gathered with the women and chatted.

Eumeria, who was suddenly brought in by Lee Mina, overheard their conversation and looked at them.

Jeong Seon-Kyung looked at Eumeria and asked.

“You said you lived at the gate and came out?”

“Yeah? Yeah… About 20 years… … .”

“You must have been amazed outside.”

“Yeah, I still don’t know. teach me a lot.”

“Ask anything if you have any questions.”

Eumeria answered with an awkward smile.

“Thank you, uh, sister… … .”

Amina looked at Eumeria next to her and Leon in the distance.

Even before the guild was formed, the two had been protecting Jun-woo.

There were many strange things about the two people living at the gate and suddenly protecting Jun-woo.

‘Is it a homunculus? Blood was red… … .’

Lee Mina asked implicitly.

“By the way, how did you join this guild?”

“Yeah? I’m in Korea, and I’m recruiting… … .”

“Aha… Does the food fit your palate?”

“Yes, it is delicious.”

“What’s your favorite dish?”

Eumeria answered with a bit of perplexity.

“that… They all eat well.”

“I’m jealous. I am a bit of a picky eater.”

“Ah, that’s right… … .”

Lee Mina looked at Eumeria, who was awkward, slowly.

‘It’s strange. It’s like a homunculus. But I don’t really like tea.’

Then Jun-woo walked out to the center and spoke slightly louder.

“I’m sorry during the meal, but does anyone know of a pillar that can place a mysterious stone?”

At Jun-woo’s party, healer Jeong Seon-Kyung raised her hand slightly.

Jun-woo walked up to Jeong Seon-Kyung and asked.

“Have you been?”

“Yes, I’ve been to one.”

“I’m thinking of going tomorrow. Can I guide you?”

“Yeah, what… I can’t remember, but I’ll guide you.”

“Thank you. Enjoy your meal.”

As Jun-woo left, Lee Min-na asked as if wondering.

“What is it, sister?”

“Is it just some kind of hidden peace place? It seems that all the large guilds have tried, but they say they have failed.”

“Isn’t that just a waste of time?”

“That’s right. Still, the Master is the goblin leader, Burton? You are the one who solved it, so you know what to do.”

If coincidences overlap, it could be inevitable, and I thought it might be a quest given to Jun-woo.

“I want to go too.”

“Tell the Master.”

The next day, Lee Mina joined Jun-woo’s party.

The four parties hunted in the direction Jun-woo wanted to go at regular intervals.

It didn’t take long for Lee Mina, who was hunting, to feel puzzled.

The golems used their skills in another party, but when they joined Jun-woo’s party, they didn’t use the skills of the adjacent golems.

“Do you have a skill that blocks skills by any chance?”

Jun-woo nodded at Lee Min-na’s question.

“That’s right.”

“Wow, is it still active?”

“yes.”

“I don’t know at all… … .”

Jamming could be targeted.

Jun-woo had set it so that it would not affect people.

Lee Mina nodded her head as if she understood.

“So it seems the boss was targeting the Master so tenaciously yesterday.”

“I will.”

“The place you’re going to right now is because of the quest, right?”

“It could be.”

“Hey, I’ll help. Instead, help me with the Quest next time.”

“Are there any quests?”

“Yes, I will tell you later.”

“Okay.”

They went to a place called the Pillar.

When Jeong Seon-Kyung points to a high place, they move in that direction.

As they approached the neighborhood, Seon-Kyung Jeong looked around with a troubled face.

“Where… It would be right around here… … .”

Everyone looked down and started looking for something, and Eumeria ran to the right.

And looking down, he saw a white stone beak at the bottom of the canyon.

“Isn’t that?”

Seon-Kyung Jeong approached, looked down, and nodded.

“That’s right, there it is!”

Jun-woo’s party went down.

A white, round pillar was raised about 1m.

And in the center, an oval hole was big enough for a mysterious stone to fit in.

“Can I put a mysterious stone here?”

“Yeah, then the Mystic Stone will work. There is a superstition that putting it here will have a good effect, and there is a superstition that a door with a matching pattern will open the door.”

As if in doubt, Jun-woo took out a mysterious stone and looked at it.

It seemed like I needed 4, but how to get it wasn’t written down.

That meant buying it.

Jun-woo put a mysterious stone into the hole.

Squish

Sparks bounced once, and the mana flow was slightly directed north and east.

Jeong Seon-Kyung said while Jun-woo was watching.

“It’s all done.”

When Jun-woo pulled out the mysterious stone, a hidden pattern appeared on the rock.

[Rune of Health]

-Rank: Epic+

-Classification: Runes

-Durability: 507/507

*Increases stamina by 14 when held in the item window.

– Item value: 2,240,140,000

The value has decreased, and the grade has also been lowered.

“You mean there are two more places like this?”

“Yes, I hear it.”

The Quest required 4 mysterious stones, so I had to find one undiscovered place.

It seemed that it would not be easy to find it in this expansive place.

Jun-woo took a deep breath and said.

“All right. Now let’s focus on hunting.”

They continued hunting and stayed there for 7 days.

[You have completed the quest ‘Collect Golem’s Soul Stone.’]

[As a reward, a stat bonus of 10 and an essential book of magic engineering were paid.]

[Basic Book of Magical Engineering][Belonging]

-Effect: When used, you can acquire the related knowledge of magic engineering.

– Item value: 2,000,000,000,000

After reading the effect once, Jun-woo closed the item window.

I was planning to use it at the hostel.

As the day grew dark, Jun-woo said.

“Let’s go back, Eumeria.”

Eumeria asked, looking east over the horizon.

“Boss, but what is there?”

“there? I don’t know either… … .”

I let her know if she knew anything.

“First of all, there is a desert. Its name is Arid Desert, and it is a place where about 70-80 levels hunt.”

“Ah, the desert… Thank you for telling me.”

Eumeria nodded her head at Lee Mina.

Lee Mina looked at Eumeria as if wondering and said.

“You can speak comfortably, sister.”

“Ah yes… yes… … .”

“I’m back.”

“Yeah, yes.”

They hurried back home.
