. How the dead win the festival (4)

A stolen item occurred, but none of the elves noticed it.

This is because he blindly trusted the sentry guarding the entrance and the security barrier that spreads inside.

'At least a few hours will be fine.'

No matter how quickly you notice, it will take that long.

Jinhyuk moved his hands vigorously.

Another highlight of the festival is the cuisine.

In order to reap the beauty of Yujong who came here, it must be completed perfectly.

[Lv3 'Different World Restaurant' is activated!]

A skill that can satisfy even people with different tastes.

As his understanding of cooking increased dramatically, Jinhyuk's hand movements became even more spectacular.

Various vegetables and vegetables were trimmed in an instant.

widely! widely! widely! widely!

Various cooking utensils such as cutting boards, kitchen knives, and pots purchased from the coin exchange also worked well.

[Moist soybean meat]

Michelin Star Rating:

Contents: Vegetable meat made from white beans and olive oil. The fantastic compatibility with the accompanying rosemary sauce is a Master grade that demonstrates the craftsmanship without filtration!

Usually 1 star is 'edible'

treated as food.

These include chicken skewers, cup rice, and udon noodles commonly eaten on the street.

Two of them are about the same as a course meal at a fancy restaurant or Japanese restaurant.

Can I just think of the food I eat when I give my neck a stiff neck after a while and get the color out of my wallet?

And from three or more, it makes even gourmets give their thumbs up.

But what about more than 4 stars?

This is the level at which even the wretched youngest son of a peasant family who has left home comes back overnight and turns him into a gentleman.

It means that it has a completely different taste and addiction.

squeaky mouths.

Oh oh!

ha .

Great.

Exclamations broke out everywhere.

Although the skill was activated and Sylvia and Ellis were helping as an assistant, the speed of making did not keep up with the speed of eating.

Bowls of leaves, emptying like lightning, piled up like a mountain.

As soon as the dishes came out, they disappeared into the mouths of the elves one after another.

It's so delicious...

Me too. I don't think I'll ever be able to eat other foods from now on. What should I do?

Can't we just ask Jinhyuk-sama to stay in our village?

If that doesn't work, let's kidnap it. There is an empty space in the basement of our house...

Okay, okay. People say they like dumplings, so I'll just eat them for the rest of my life and make them cook.

Somehow, the content of the conversation became more terrifying as it went further.

To the elves, who lived a nature-friendly life with restraint of their desires, Jinhyuk's cooking approached him like a drug.

Hwaryongjeomjeong was a mushroom dish that Jinhyuk made while sweating profusely.

[Acid Mushroom Gratin]

Michelin Star Rating:

Content: 'Acid Mushroom', a very difficult ingredient to handle. However, if cooked through the proper recipe, it can be reborn as one of the top gourmet ingredients in the tower. This dish I made now is a Master grade made through all the processes without mistakes.

The leaves are rolled in 4 directions so that the sauce does not drip.

It was the detail that felt the delicate consideration for the eater.

An earthquake struck Sylvia's pupil, who was helping her cook.

Awe beyond surprise.

Now, the real identity of the opponent was to the point of doubting whether it was a human or not.

'You're really great. This is a mushroom that is known to be impossible to cook... .'

When I first said that I was cooking 'acidic mushrooms'. I thought you were joking.

It's a natural thing.

Who would agree to eat a poison nugget?

But all those worries disappeared like snow melted the moment Jinhyuk grabbed the knife.

This is the realm of art.

And.

This situation was embarrassing for Elise as well.

'Ugh. None of the head chef's exclusive cooks dealt with that... .'

One of the absolutes of the tower.

Alice, too, has seen and experienced countless things so far.

However, none of them were able to cleanly remove the poison of acid mushrooms.

'I thought only his fighting ability was absurd, but he is good at playing instruments and cooking well.'

The corners of Alice's lips twisted slightly.

also.

No matter how much I think about it, the decision to sign a contract with Jinhyuk was a decision I had no regrets about.

'Well, if it's my contractor, of course it should be like that.'

cancer. not like that

In order to fit in with him, of course, Jinhyuk had to be the strongest among humans.

Alice nodded as if satisfied.

This time, I poured a huge mana, so I was planning to draw out Jinhyuk's blood.

Seeing everyone's recognition, I even thought that I should be gentle a little bit.

At the same time.

Jinhyuk tilted his head in an unknown cold.

The noisy festival became quiet as the night deepened.

Everyone fell asleep and fell on the spot. All that was left were a few rangers who were dozing off and guarding the vigil.

Of course, even that won't last long.

When the line between dawn and morning is blurring like that.

Jinhyuk woke up the sleeping Alice.

Yes?

Elise gently opened her half-closed eyes.

Then he realized that the person who woke him up was Jinhyuk, and got up in surprise.

What? It's not like you're going to have to clean up the ingredients from this time? What time is it now...?

It's four in the morning.

Jinhyuk smiled brightly and added a word.

It's the best time to be vigilant, whether you're a human or an elf.

Is it careless?

Yeah. Actually, our sweet potato had a small accident. So we have to get out of there quickly. When the day is bright, there is a high chance of being caught.

Mosquito...! Mosquito Mosquito!

The sweet potato, who was next to Jinhyuk, tried hard to defend himself.

He blinked his yellow eyes.

However, Jinhyuk ignored that pathetic excuse at once.

It was true that the barrier was dismantled so that sweet potatoes could steal molars and fangs inside the cave.

That was only to provide a foothold.

The last thing that came out with the relic was the sweet potato.

Shh!

Mom, Mosquito...

No one will speak the language of the ancient species anyway, so this work will be kept in the grave forever.

What if I get caught by elves while sneaking out? Didn't I say that these guys are persistent in their pursuit?

If that's the case, don't worry. That's why I put a lot of vegetables and vegetables that are good for a good night's sleep in last night's food.

'mountain lettuce' and 'five-colored leaves' are common in elven forests.

All of them are ingredients used to relieve insomnia.

In addition, the effect of each was further amplified due to the 'Different World Restaurant'.

The elves will not get out of the dreamland until the sun comes up.

...it's really amazing. You mean you served the elves a generous meal for the sake of the perfect crime?

Well .

The original purpose wasn't that, but really meant to get along well.

Things were going in this direction strangely.

Again, it's not my fault, it's because we were trying to cover up our cutie's mistake, so this was inevitable.

Haha. No matter how you look at it, it seems more like what you did than the Ancient Servant, but now it's a meaningless story.

Well, that's it. Anyway, the festival ends here. So come in to the ring. I'll give you another look later.

I see. I'm sorry, but I can't help it.

Elise slowly looked at the surroundings.

If you want to manifest outside, you know that mana consumption is severe, so you can't use the swarm any more.

I wanted to capture this scenery with my two eyes even now that I was out for a while.

However, even that was only for a short time.

[Braham's ring absorbs the souls of his subordinates.]

Elise's face disappeared in an instant.

Now is the time to go.

Jinhyuk cautiously moved forward.

'See you later.'

He lightly greeted Sylvia, a low-ranking ranger, and Elder Penheim, who were sleeping soundly.

He also paid tribute to Teslon, who still did an incredible cosplay.

I didn't hate this icy elf as much as I had heard of hate.

to that end.

Jinhyuk said goodbye to the long elves.

As we got out of the place where the festival was held, our paces got faster.

If you are considering a pursuit that will catch up behind you, you should go as far as possible.

Even the 'Sword Demon King's Treasure' was used, so the surrounding scenery changed in an instant.

Too Wook... . fault!

As soon as my foot touched the branch, my body sprinted towards the next tree... Of course it has to be fast.

How long have you been running with all your might?

At last we reached the outer border of the forest.

This is the limit point at which the elves give up their pursuit. In other words, it was now completely safe.

That was then.

Elise, who had been silent, opened her mouth.

[By the way, is it okay to go like this? If by any chance the Chinese guild-side guys come back here, the elves wouldn't have a way to stop it, right?]

hoo.

Surprisingly, it stabs a sharp part.

Since I ate a big room here, I wouldn't be able to think of it easily in the Chinese Guild.

It is a pain in the ass to bring him to Moorim with his teeth sharpened in hopes of revenge.

Because the current power of the elves will not be able to stop them at all.

In the end, the previous tragedy must have been repeated again.

However.

The number of all those cases was what Jinhyuk had also expected.

After the battle, Jinhyeok wandered around the forest, trying to figure out how to protect it.

I have prepared a little below.

Look.

Jinhyuk smiled brightly and snapped his fingers.

damn it!

Then at that very moment.

[[8-star barrier 'Great military bird']

It works!]

[3-star barrier 'Dimensional Break' is activated!]

[The three-star barrier 'Kimun Gate' is unfolding!]

A huge magic circle was drawn along the ground with a blue status window.

A huge barrier that encompasses the entire forest.

It took three weeks for Grand Duke to take effect.

"Whether it's Chinese food or Moorim, you can never get over this place."

Even if Namgungcheon came directly to this place, it would not be difficult.

Because I'll definitely protect what's mine.

The 'Cathedral of Hatred' on the 3rd floor of the Tower of Trials.

Currently, more than 30 demons were gathering here and having a serious conversation.

Damn it. How the hell did this happen? All of a sudden the 11th floor is open.

Unknown... it must be because of that damn bastard. Truly, the moving peoples only sprinkle red pepper powder on our work.

It's unexpected, but we have to come up with a solution somehow. Complaining won't solve it.

Shut up! Do you know who is doing this because they don't know? Are you doing this because there is no answer? Because there is no answer!

I can't lose the relics like this. If we continue to disappoint him, we will all die horribly!

Yes.

The reason everyone is getting excited is that as the 11th floor is opened, you can get the relics hidden on the 11th floor.

The problem is that only Unknown who has eliminated the boss monster on the 10th floor and players who have obtained his permission can enter there.

'My head hurts.'

A ranker who is one of the top executives of the Mine Association and is responsible for a corner of the round table.

Hossenveld, who has the nickname of Lancelot, wrinkled his eyebrows and fell in thought.

'Now, it would be impossible to convince Unknown to come.'

However, it took too long to go from the 7th to the 9th floor step by step.

'It's unreasonable even if the most troublesome boss on the 10th floor has fallen.'

Relics on the 11th floor only appear for exactly one week after the floor is opened, after which they have the trait of moving to a higher floor.

There is no time.

There is also no sharp way.

'How can things be so twisted?'

But it was then that Hossenveld sighed.

Pants... .

At the entrance of the cathedral, a foreign mana was felt.

It is a mana with a deep sense of incongruity.

None of the demons here could feel it, but only Lancelot could sense the faint mana.

'This no way?'

Hossenveld's eyes narrowed.

something is coming

It's also very fast.
