CH 51

. Black Market (4)

A night when the sun is completely gone.

Jinhyuk was waiting for someone in an alley where there were no people.

'It's pretty cold at night.'

I came out a little early in case I would be late for the time specified by the black market, but the night dew was quite cold.

still.

Because the desired condition was achieved, even the waiting time for the opponent felt enjoyable.

'They said that having a strong account gives you confidence that you didn't have, and that statement was true.'

30 million dollars.

That's over 35 billion Korean Won.

Jinhyuk earned most of it in less than 10 minutes.

It was a great victory that will go down in the history of gambling.

'This is enough... It's enough to win the bid for the replica artifact you want.'

It is said that a total of 100 auction items will be exhibited, so competition will not be fierce.

'Especially what I want because it doesn't look attractive at all.'

A pearl buried in the mud.

To those who know its value, it has an incomparable value to banknotes, but to those who do not know it, it is an item that is reluctant to open its wallet.

Anyway, the time has come... .

The moment I thought so.

Boo Woong!

I heard a car approaching.

After a while, a black Mercedes-Benz Maybach stopped in front of Jinhyuk.

The window went down and I saw a man in a suit.

Is Iza an employee from the black market?

Customer number 117. Are you right?

Yes, that's right.

Jinhyuk showed the number written on the invitation.

I have confirmed. So, from now on, I will take you to the place where the auction is held. Please understand that you have to wear an eye patch for security.

Eyepatch on the back seat of the car.

As expected, there was even a magic that blocked the view.

If you watch it in a movie or something like that, even if you wear an eye mask, you draw a destination in your head while counting the seconds.

How about in reality?

It would be fun to try, but it doesn't have to be.

[30 minutes away, a mansion located in the middle of the desert.]

[I must hurry so that I am not late. But what are you doing? Come on, don't ride.]

Even without doing anything like that, I was able to grasp all sorts of information through the 'Eyes of Gluttony'.

'I'll try to use it on the players later.'

In the past, all players had left the Tower of Trials by the time they got these eyes.

It means that even if you want to experiment, all the subjects you can experiment with have disappeared.

'I don't have to worry about that anymore.'

If we don't want humanity to perish, we'll all have to wear our flags and climb the tower.

It may or may not work for those who can handle mana.

And if it works, to what level will it work?

It would be another pleasure to know it.

Jinhyuk buried himself in the soft sheet.

It had been exactly 30 minutes.

Im here.

with the words of the staff. The car stopped.

I was finally able to take off the eyepatch.

'Whoa. I thought I was going to die cramped.'

As Jinhyuk got out of the car, a surprising scene unfolded.

Oh.

Exclamations flowed from his mouth.

yea that's the way it is

It is a much more splendid and beautiful mansion than I had perceived through 'Eyes of Gluttony'.

In addition, the starry night sky and the oasis were harmonized, and the exterior of the mansion created a picturesque spectacle.

You can leave the invitation to me. Then, have a good time.

After the staff checked the authenticity of the invitation, he bowed deeply.

Jinhyuk, who was alone, went inside the mansion.

The moment you enter the gate through the pond attached to the garden.

[Promise, haven't you forgotten?]

Alice's voice was heard.

right. this guy was there

Finding mine on the plane was special, so I asked him to say one thing he wanted.

Alice said she wanted to see the outside world.

I don't care, are you okay here?

Las Vegas would have a lot more to see if we went outside.

There are so many things to see, from fireworks to motorcycle performances.

But would you dare to visit an auction house where the rich boast of their money?

[If you want to fit into this noble-blooded nobility of the night, you must have at least this level of dignity. It's not a bad mansion. Even if it's made by humans. I will choose this way.]

hello.

Living in a ring of 0.001 pyeong, what suits you? And what is the noble of the night? The noble of the night.

Are you talking about the nobility of the corner of the night?

[what!? A bat babbling in a slum gosiwon?]

Elise groaned and screamed.

The ring vibrated slightly.

I didn't even say that...

At this point, I feel pity beyond pathetic.

Yes.

I've been through well in the past, so I should understand.

Jinhyuk shook his head and looked around.

As it was a very spacious mansion, it was rare to see a popular figure.

I didn't feel the camera or any special mana reaction.

'As long as you check the invitation, it means that the internal security is certain.'

Above all, there must be a reason why you must protect your privacy due to the traits of the guests participating in the auction.

it went well this way

Because no one will notice that one or more guests are added.

uuung!

Jinhyuk injected mana into Braham's ring.

OK.

Elise in human form appeared from the ring.

This time, he wasn't the size of a dog, he was close to 150cm tall.

It was still small considering that it was originally over 170cm, but it was enough to avoid doubts.

Ummm! The fresh air outside is nice.

Elise stretched.

Long silver hair and red eyes stood out in particular.

I poured mana as much as possible, but it is unreasonable to go beyond that size.

It's fine. Still, it's much better than being less than 30cm in the past.

As if satisfied, he smiled and nodded his head.

It's nice to think that way.

Well, are you going to do that auction now?

Alice's eyes twinkled.

It was a location where all of his subordinates would come to the rescue if they set their mind on whatever they wanted. For Elise, the idea of economics did not exist at all.

Therefore, spectacles like an auction were quite interesting from her point of view.

Yeah. I'll have to go inside. It's almost time.

Jinhyuk took out his smartphone and checked the time.

10 minutes.

After that, a war between money and money begins.

Amphitheater located in the center of the mansion.

Originally designed for opera performances, it has now been transformed into an auction house for the world's wealthiest people who want to trade behind the scenes.

"It's now the 175th .. I attend every year, but I'm always excited before the auction starts."

I heard rumors that 'Heart of the Fish Dragon' is also coming out at this auction.

Really? It's coming out?

It's probably thanks to the appearance of the Tower of Trials. Because of the mana wave or something, all the treasures of the stars that disappeared in ancient times are being reproduced.

Great. I'm looking forward to it. Even if I don't win the bid, I'll definitely have to take a look.

"And this time, there are so many big things that they say they accept precious metals and bonds in addition to dollars. Of course, in that case, you have to pay an additional 10% fee."

Then the competition will be fiercer. I'll have to check my balance again.

murmur.

More than half were already seated, chatting or calling somewhere.

Jinhyuk and Elise also moved to find an empty seat.

But right then.

Heh heh. Nice to meet you.

An old man dressed in a black hood approached.

This man ?

Jinhyuk's eyes narrowed.

It's a familiar face

Not long ago, an old man in the Mine Association who suggested a strategy for the 3rd floor boss to the executives of a large guild.

That guy just appeared right in front of me.

'This is another giant appeared.'

If you think about the abilities you showed back then. The old man would be at the level of an executive of the Mine Association, or at least at the level of a middle manager.

" "

And next to him was Alex, whom he met on the plane.

'This guy must have been beaten quite a bit too.'

His handsome face was completely turned into mould.

It's probably because the Elixir was stolen without any results.

Naturally, it didn't take the slightest bit of sympathy.

Because being sorry is a feeling that should only be felt when the other person is a human being.

My name is Julius Cadrick. I'm sure you've noticed, but as you can see, I'm the teacher of this stupid disciple.

Julius Cadrick... .

That was the name.

Jinhyuk, who heard the introduction of the opponent, quietly activated the 'Eyes of Gluttony'.

Name: Julius Cadrick

Gender: Male

Age: 58

Level: 30

Strength 11 Dexterity 9 Stamina 10 mana 49 Evil 25

Stat Points you have: 1

Coins held: 130,855

Occupation: Necromancer

Unique Ability: Gravekeeper of the Cursed Tomb

skill: Lv6 'Wailing Wall', Lv6 'Commander's Command', Lv5 'Night of the Dead', Lv5 'Three Regeneration', Lv4 'Area Weakening', Lv4 'Infectious Disease'

[Copy Condition: Psychologically, he is very angry because of the successive failures of his incompetent subordinates. After completing the black magic class he supervises, if you get an A+ grade, you can copy one of your unique abilities or skills.]

I knew it.

As expected, this is a great ability.

I'm sure he even has a unique ability that creates good synergy with the Necromancer.

Since the 'December of the Cursed Graveyard' can summon a large number of summons with a minimum of mana, it was the ability that the Necromancer, as well as the various summoner classes, wanted to acquire by using their skills.

However.

After reading the copy conditions, Jinhyuk had to grab his forehead with his finger.

'The system is going crazy.'

This is not to say that we should shoot passionate professors and full-featured students.

What condition is this?

Anyway, I wasn't very interested in the abilities of the necromancers, but somehow the radiation conditions seemed to be getting worse and worse.

That too in a bad way.

'Even though it's an ability... .'

First of all, shall I scratch my sore stomach?

Jinhyeok, who had taken a look at his expression, opened his mouth.

"Thanks to you, I got valuable things and it was a pleasant flight."

Heh heh. I'm so glad you did. That's why, I wanted to ask you again about the information you know. This time, I'm here in person.

Are you talking about the masked player?

Yeah. It's a pretty important issue for us. It's a bit exaggerated and life or death depends on it... right?

look at this... ?

Are you secretly threatening?

The corners of Jinhyuk's mouth twisted slightly.

If that's the case, I would have said that I'd take a chance and tell you later.

I'm sorry, but we don't have any later. We need to get it done as soon as possible.

That's what I don't know.

Whether you are in a hurry or the shit line is burning.

What does that have to do with me?

If you're in a hurry, just like sending a set of Korean beef on New Year's Day, you can pack an elixir in a set of 12 and bring it home.

However, despite Jinhyeok's death, Cadrick's expression was very calm.

Hmm. Think carefully before making an assertion. Apparently, if you've come here, you've got something you need, don't you think?

So?

If we put our minds to it...

Cadrick's eyes narrowed coldly.

At the same time, his voice became cold.

It means that you can buy all the items that are being exhibited today.
