Chapter 341
Episode 341: New Request
“gold? Just gold? “Nothing at stake, just gold?”
“yes. just… … .”
I answered leisurely, looking at the miscellaneous items piled up on the shelf. It’s still the same here.
Shelves arranged so tightly that movement is difficult. Strange objects piled haphazardly on every shelf.
From an electronic clock that doesn’t work, the skull of a spirit being, a two-headed turtle, a comic book, a cross with the devil’s curse on it, a mini car, detergent that is about 20 years old, a diamond pot, and all kinds of medicinal herbs hanging from the ceiling.
And a stylish mask decorated with agate stones.
“Wow, what is this mask?”
A new mask arrived? Should I buy this?
“Stop fiddling around and speak straight! “Is it just gold?”
[ㄱChon ㅈㅈㅗ]. No, the owner of Geumchon Pawn Shop – Jeong Eun-taek is irritated, his wrinkled face scrunched up.
“How much is this mask? It’s an agate stone mask. ah. And gold needs to be plain and not mixed with anything else.”
“No need for purification or blessing? “That trash mask costs 300,000 won.”
“Oh, that’s cheap. Isn’t this mask really cool? There is no need for purification or blessing. Just gold is enough.”
“Teing, that kind of thing is harder to find these days.”
Gold in this world is a consumable item.
Obtaining ordinary gold is more difficult because cultists, shamans, wizards, and clerics place curses or blessings on anyone who gets their hands on gold.
I plan to do the same.
By the way, this mask…
“The inside is finished with leather, right? “It feels really good.”
I carefully stroked the inside of the mask.
Is the base wooden? But what kind of leather is this? Is it human skin? I feel a faint feeling of resentment?
It’s not a grudge, it’s like a regret of not being able to achieve something, right? What was the intention? curse? Rituals? An auxiliary tool for witchcraft?
what? There’s a mark engraved on the leather?
[ᚁ]
It doesn’t seem to be the maker’s signature, it’s witchcraft… … . Is it a rune? Or another language? Because it is a primitive symbol, it is difficult to specify.
“So how much gold can I get?”
“Sir, do you know what this sign is? “I don’t think it’s a rune.”
“It’s probably the Ogham script. It doesn’t exist now, but there used to be a pair of tombstones. Inseok, how much gold do you need?”
The Ogham script is an ancient Irish language. It’s probably correct, since it’s what Jung Eun-taek, who has emotional characteristics, says.
The [Spell Mastery] trait provides appropriate annotations.
“If you look at the Ogham script, this is Beithe (birch tree). Oh, I guess this mask itself is made of birch wood?”
The flower language of the birch tree is ‘waiting for you’. And by combining the meaning of the agate stone and the nuances of the Ogham script, the magical imagery of this mask is… … .
[Illusion], [Memories], [Calm], [Healing]?
It doesn’t have much effect right now because all of its magical power has been used up, but if handled well, it can be used as a medium for magic to alleviate madness or anger.
“Hey, how much gold do you need?”
“Let’s buy this first. “Can I try it now?”
“ah! “How much gold do you need?”
Jeong Eun-taek screams and throws a small pebble on the table.
[System: ‘Enhanced vigilance’ is activated.]
Ahh! What did that old man throw!?
The word [आग] engraved on a pebble. It is a consumable artifact that explodes when thrown!
[Invisible Hand]
[Incapacitation: Fire element]
A pebble stopping in midair with a jjieeeeing sound.
“Ugh, old man! Why are you doing this!?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know? “This mask, you crazy bastard!”
Jeong Eun-taek throws instant-effective artifacts as soon as he picks them up without stopping.

After a moment of wadangtang and then woodangtangtang again, I apologized to Jeong Eun-taek.
“Hmph. “I was wrong.”
“Get out now!”
“Hey, we should finish talking about gold.”
“ha… … . okay. You can’t chase customers. So how much gold do you need?”
“About 400kg.”
Jeong Eun-taek blinked for a moment and then groaned.
“… … what? 400? Do you know what kind of trade fair this is?”
“Please save me slowly. And this mask, and this bundle of rowan wood. Those are giraffe horns, right? Please package that for me – and is that purified water sweet?”
I asked, pointing to the corner of the pawn shop.
A plastic water bottle lying next to a chest containing myrrh, resin, and some kind of herb. 6 bottles of 100 liters each.
“These days, water pollution is so severe that not much purified water comes out. And everything over there is reserved.”
It’s because of water pollution, you damn humans. Defile nature like this?
“Then I also need about 20,000 liters. Can I get it?”
“20,000? Huh, you pseudo-wizard! Are you planning to build a swimming pool with purified water?”
Purified water is special water that is used in one or two bowls when offering prayers or performing rituals.
It’s not something that can be talked about with a capacity of 10,000 units.
‘It’s not easy to gather materials.’

Jeong Eun-taek, who had been scribbling something on a piece of paper for a while, suddenly asked a question with an angry expression.
“You ordered this knowing how much it would cost? Even if you sell the Tudor name, you can’t get it without a down payment.”
“I can give you 50 billion for everything, right? First, I will send you 30 billion through Vasilisa.”
Jeong Eun-taek frowns at my cool answer.
“her… … . Where have you been and what have you been doing? already… … “Did you save up that much money?”
“I used magic to copy some money.”
“Copy money? Me-true. Yes, no matter what kind of money, money is money.”
Jeong Eun-taek writes down his ledger while saying so.
These are all items needed to make the [Golden Hairpin]. Oh, except for the mask.
‘I wish I could have recycled the version Akiyama made.’
Oh no, that was impossible.
[Destroy the territory and create a ‘dimensional gateway.’]
That was Akiyama’s hometown – that is, it was something heading towards the abyss.
I have to make a hairpin to my hometown.
‘Well, I’m glad I only need things that can be paid for with money… … .’
Isn’t that something that games like this often ask for?
Something like the seven Dragon Stones that can only be obtained by defeating all of the legendary Dark Heavenly Kings that guard the gateway to space and time.
There is no need to collect such things.
“Can you save me within a week?”
“what? one week? “Fuck it!”
Although Jeong Eun-taek is making noises, if you try to save him, you can save him.
“Hmm… … . It can take more than a week. Please.”
“Huh! “I’m already about to go back and look for silver, but wow, what’s the fuss these days?”
“huh? “Silver?”
“okay. silver. “Someone got things like silver and herbs in chests.”
Perhaps a cult somewhere is preparing some kind of ritual.
“Oh, so that’s why the herbs and myrrh are piled up separately?”
“okay. “I haven’t found the silver yet.”
Jeong Eun-taek scratches his head with a pen for a moment.
“Do you know what you’re going to make with this? Why is it only a week? “Can you save me quickly?”
“no. It’s not that urgent. “Take care of the urgent things first.”
“I don’t know what they’re planning, but the atmosphere in Paju is getting chaotic again these days. If you’re going to live a long time, take care of yourself and move around.”
“Thank you for your concern. Now that I think about it, what about Yeeun? You’ve been well, right?”
“Bye. “I told him to stay home because he said he would have a mock exam tomorrow.”
“Oh, are you preparing for college?”
Now that I think about it, you’re the same age as Hyuna.
“I can’t go to college because my hair is bad. He’ll probably be whining about taking over this place later. Ugh. “Ugly guy.”
Jeong Eun-taek waves his hand and looks disgusted.
Well, there are different ways to love your granddaughter.

Decoding of the old Lacrex book was completed three days ago.
Making a [Golden Hairpin] is not that difficult.
The problem was in a completely wrong direction.
[The golden hairpin creates a gateway to the specified coordinates.]
shit.
Yes, this is my problem.
I do not know the coordinates of the [time and space] where I lived.
If clear coordinates cannot be set – [Golden Hairpin] is just an ultra-space-time weapon that just blows a hole in space-time.
“Why not just drill some random hole?”
Self-talk flowing from my mouth. No, that’s the fox mask guy’s opinion.
“You can’t do that. If you drill it wrong, you could end up in the abyss-”
“Even if you can’t go home, if you go to a level where you can avoid destruction, you’ve won half the battle, right?”
In a sense, it’s a plausible story.
The reason I want to escape from this world is because this world is about to be destroyed.
“This is not that simple.”
If the plot continues with a new adventure starting in a medieval fantasy world – well, just imagining it makes my heart swell, but I don’t know how I can make a hundred concessions and accept it.
‘But if the randomly pierced [dimensional gateway] connects to the area around the [living flame]… … .’
The true body of [Living Flame] is a scorching supernova, and its temperature is approximately 10,000K to 50,000K.
For reference, the surface temperature of the sun is 5778K. The moment the door opens – it’s a doom ending without even a moment to stop.
The status itself is much higher in the [Source of Life] category, but among the beings of the abyss, there are many whose mere existence is a problem.
As soon as you encounter a petrifying ray or deadly poison. There are even some that emit radiation or something?
Anyway, playing around with space and time in [Cthulhu World] is not a good choice.
“Anyway, a construction prank expert is scheduled to come visit us soon – let’s listen to his opinion before making a decision.”
In a week, the future Gong Isu will arrive.
When I met and talked with Gong Yi-su at Paju Central Hospital, I wondered why he was coming at such a time, but I concluded that there was a good reason.
‘Well, from Gong Yi-soo’s perspective, the person who will take the dog away will have to visit before he leaves.’
There may be other purposes – but either way, we can have conversations or transactions that are mutually beneficial.
* * *
As soon as I finished work at Geumchon Pawnshop, I headed to Vasilisa.
You should also receive a reward for finding the [Mermaid Egg] today-
‘Then is the day Gong Yi-su comes on the 13th?’
I guess I’ll have some free time until then.
What should I do in the meantime? Should I think of a way to replace my left hand, which still doesn’t work properly?
“Hello, Orb. how have you been doing?”
Vasilisa, which had been closed for a while, has resumed business.
‘It’s because Shin Woo-jin, who went in and out of Vasilisa to watch over her, died.’
Considering what happened with Yang Seo-ho at the time, it wasn’t something to be happy about, but Tudor, who didn’t know the situation, said this with a smile on his face.
“Ahaha – you made my wish come true! Ah, of course my love!”
It’s a wish… … .
Hasn’t your wish been to move somewhere else? Well, I’m glad you’re feeling good… … .
As someone who recently had ambiguous feelings about the word [wish], I couldn’t help but feel complicated.
“mythology? Why, like that? expression?”
An orb waves its hand in front of me, perhaps to attract my attention.
Thick, handsome forearms that seem to have been made by twisting dozens of strands of rebar and large, perfectly sculpted hands move back and forth before my eyes.
And the top of a wonderful body that seems to have been created by weaving together all the virtues that exist in the world.
A large old-fashioned CRT monitor takes the place of your head.
I answered while facing the orb’s unusual head.
“Oh, I thought about something else for a moment. “Is there a Tudor inside?”
“Well, there is. “Fani, Tudor, will sing.”
Before he could finish his words, a relatively small and slender-looking woman next to him – that is, holding in one hand the hem of the skirt of a classical maid’s uniform with a fluttering fanny with an old lantern instead of a head – walked towards Tudor’s office. Goes.
“It’s a cute move, but isn’t it a bit excessive?”
“Tudor ordered it.”
An emoticon called [=~=] is displayed on Orb’s monitor. Does he look troubled?
I was flirting with Orb for a while, and then Tudor came running out with a loud crashing sound.
“oh! “Honey, you came at just the right time!”
Ugh, you seem to be in a really good mood. Unstable.
“What, I’m going to rest again for a while.”
“Hmm~? “It doesn’t matter if you really want to do it, but why don’t you just listen to the story?”
Tudor approaches with a triumphant smile.
She is a witch who stands out just because of her height of 1.9m.
The sight of her walking stylishly, with her gorgeous red hair flowing, is so stunning that it catches the attention of everyone inside Vasilisa – but that smile is truly ominous.
“Tudor, aren’t you too obsessed with extravagance these days?”
Tudor opened his mouth, clearly ignoring my point. Ugh.
“Jeokdu said there is something he would like to request.”
You come up with an absurd name.
“Red beans? The enemy head of the Triad?”
“that’s right. “That red bean.”
“Do you think I will receive a request for red bean?”
“huh.”
“why?”
Tudor answered with a smile like a playful boy.
“Because compensation is fun.”
I scratched my head for a moment and then answered.
“What did Jeokdu give you?”
“Park Gwang-rim.”
huh?
Park Gwang-rim?
“Park Gwang-rim?”
“Honey, you haven’t been able to contact Park Gwang-rim lately, have you? “Jeokdu is with me now.”
