Regression Life Starting With Two Traits

chapter 21



Episode 021 Grave Robber, Underlight

The tunnels were drilled here and there like a labyrinth, and you could see sweet potatoes, garlic, and plant roots sticking out through the dirt walls.

And, as expected, the sky-blue fluorescent material was smeared here and there on the wall.

Thanks to the fluorescent material, the surroundings were not so dark.

In addition, it created a mysterious atmosphere.

“Wow, I never thought it would be such a wonderful place.”

“oh my god. It feels like something out of a fairy tale.”

Min-young and Soo-yeon looked around and admired them.

– sniff sniff.

“omg.”

Soo-yeon, who was ahead, suddenly saw the snout of a mole the size of an athlete’s forearm.

As he twitched and explored the surroundings, his nose was pointed right in our direction.

The guy who slowly appeared around the corner soon appeared in front of us.

The overall size was that of a human torso.

It’s a lot bigger than a normal mole, though.

“Wow, the fur is really fluorescent.”

A moment of silence passed, and Min-young and Soo-yeon were amazed when they saw a luminous mole in front of them.

Unlike their personalities, these guys sometimes look gentle and cute.

Small button-like black eyes, a twitching red nose, and two long, hard front teeth.

However, underneath that cuteness, she hid sharp claws.

Their main weapon was their claws, not their exposed teeth.

Their claws, which had hardened as they dug into the ground, were to the point that weapon makers wanted to use them as material for swords.

however.

“Look at this. Are you docile even when I stroke you?”

“what. Yoo Seo-jun, do you think the information is wrong? They say they’re freaking out?”

But why are you so calm?

I was also in doubt. When he saw us, we thought he would attack us as an intruder, but he calmly lowered his body and allowed Soo-yeon and Min-young to touch us.

‘What’s going on?’

[They only f*ck when they feel threatened.]

‘Doesn’t they consider us intruders?’

[Otherwise, there would have been an uproar already.]

Well, that incident before the return also happened after Hunter stole the jewel.

It is not known who the hunter was.

Without any information, naturally, the jewels he brought from the gate also evaporated.

It was a mystery to people.

“Stop petting and let’s go in.”

When Min-young and Su-yeon let go of their hands, the guy brushed himself off and went back into the cave.

After following the guy into the burrow, a square the size of a soccer field came out. Jewels were piled up all over the square.

Among them were not only jewelry, but also objects that appeared to be relics.

‘I brought everything.’

[Will you get only jewels from digging?]

‘Well, all sorts of things will come out.’

[That’s why it’s nicknamed Grave Robber.]

As I was walking towards the stack of treasures, I heard a man’s voice behind me.

“who are you?”

I got goosebumps.

The only people here are me, Soo-yeon, and Min-young. A male voice?

“Kyaaak!”

“It’s a surprise!”

Soo-yeon and Min-young also screamed, as if they were surprised.

Behind us stood a man dressed like an old western.

“Gee, did I startle you too much?”

Saying that, the man took off his bowler hat and revealed his face.

He was a man with dark skin and tall stature, and his charm flowed even in the mound of dirt.

When I saw his smiley expression, there was someone who came to mind. He was someone I knew face to face.

“E-Hwi?!”

*

Surprised by each other, we calmed down and sat down in the middle of the clearing, shouting at each other.

“It’s an honor to meet the hottest team these days.”

“We are. The third hour of the solar company?”

Soo-yeon asked in a voice that did not suit her.

“Just call me by my first name.”

When the story of her family came up, Lee Hui smiled bitterly and asked to be called by her first name.

“By the way, no matter how awakened you are, it must be dangerous to come in alone, right?”

“Ah, because of my characteristics, it is safe at a lower level than mine.”

Could it be that the monarch’s traits also affect monsters?

Then it made sense.

The monsters with lower ranks would naturally think of Lee Hwi as their boss.

“What were you doing here by yourself? I don’t see you trying to close the gate?”

Minyoung looked around and pointed at a large backpack that appeared to be Yihui’s luggage.

Lee Hui answered with his characteristic humane smile.

“I got lost on the way to Yeonjuam. In the meantime, I found the gate and came in, and as you can see, I was admiring this sight.”

“By the way, we are here to find the gate, but if it’s Yeonjuam, we can only go along the mountain path, so can we get lost?”

Suyeon’s question was a very natural one.

Lost in Gwanaksan? On the way to the famous Yeonjuam Rock?

However, with Yihui, that was possible.

Although he is a history geek and finds many artifacts afterward, he had one drawback.

“hahahahaha, because I’m a bit serious… … .”

Yihui seemed embarrassed to cover it up with a smile and turned his head.

[It was absurd.]

‘Everyone can’t be perfect.’

[Did Gilchi find the artifacts well?]

‘That’s where Atomic’s Dynasty Bracelet played a part. Besides, it’s a long road, so I’m lucky.’

[luck?]

‘Even if you get lost, you should always go near the artifact. Just like I found this gate today.’

[At that point, it’s fate with artifacts.]

‘Everyone said that.’

Actually, it’s not even the Treasure Hunter side.

At that time, Lee Hui looked at me and asked.

“Then, Elementalist-nim, did you come to clear the gate?”

“Yes, as you can see there are many things to pack as loot.”

“hahahaha, those artifacts made me covet too.”

Obviously, Yi Hui was more interested in relics than jewelry.

“I’ve been particularly curious lately. The existence of these relics means that there is a civilization, but after the creation of the gate, the intelligent body has not yet been discovered, right?”

That was a correct point.

Strangely, there were always only monsters on the other side of the gate.

Even after washing my eyes, I couldn’t find an intelligent body, and even the beings that crossed the gate were all monsters.

[It has to be. Because the space where the gate itself opened was all dungeons.]

‘Then, are you saying that there are no gates created in the space where people from another world or different races live?’

[okay. Gates only appeared in dungeons, fields, etc. where there were monsters. There were humans and other races who found the gate, but everyone was afraid and didn’t even go near it.]

Yihui picked up an artifact and continued talking while examining it.

“Just looking at these artifacts, they are certainly not the history of our world. I have never seen such a language.”

Seeing the artifact Yihui picked up, Gillian recognized it.

[Garcian languages.]

‘Garcian?’

[It was a civilization before the Atomic Dynasty. The Garcian Empire was once a gigantic empire on the verge of unifying the continent.]

‘Looks like you didn’t succeed?’

[Yes, right before unification, the divided empire was divided into several dynasties. The Atomic Dynasty was also created at that time.]

Yihui put the artifact back down and turned to us.

“By any chance, if I help close this gate, can I get at least the artifacts?”

Seeing Lee Hui asking a question with earnest eyes, I barely suppressed the rising of the corners of my mouth and said,

“We can close the gates alone.”

relics? can give Even if I sold only the jewels here, I had more than enough to fill up the goods I needed.

However, just helping close the gate doesn’t count.

“ah… … .”

If it was someone else, he would have argued and fought to take it, but Lee Hui was just looking at the artifact with a pitiful look.

“How about doing this instead?”

Yihui’s eyes immediately changed at my question.

“Do you want anything?”

“We are planning to create a guild soon. If Lee Hwi-nim is with us, I wonder if the price of the artifact will be enough?”

“You mean the guild?”

At my suggestion, Lee Hui looked back and forth between the artifact and me as if thinking for a moment.

[Will you accept? The heir to the best-selling company here?]

‘He’s just one of the successor candidates. because it’s the third Apart from that, I can make a proposal at my age.’

[Are you now?]

‘Currently the best Hunter. In addition, the two large guilds and cooperative guilds. That alone is worth the investment. And decisively.’

[Deterministically?]

‘It would be better if this kind of offer came along.’

I struck a decisive blow to Lee Hui, who was troubled, so that he could choose.

“Are you interested in the world connected by gates? I will give you the information I know and support you to do research.”

Financial support will be fully covered by Lee Hui’s family wealth. However, the support I could give was support as a Hunter.

“Of course, Lee Hui-nim will not lack in anything financial, so the support I give is the Hunter’s ability.”

“Grunt. this is true I am worried.”

He was the person I wanted to meet anyway.

It doesn’t matter if you refuse. I just got a chance and asked.

If rejected, it would be easier to meet again through today’s relationship, so it wasn’t a loss. To do so, I was thinking of sharing some compensation as if I was patronizing with Plan B.

I waited for him to think enough.

Min-young and Su-yeon listened to the conversation between me and Lee Hwi and were so dazed that they didn’t even want to intervene.

Crackling!

Awesome!

It was then. Around us, the moles that had been quietly doing their own thing up until this point suddenly stopped moving and began to stand tall and alert.

“What is going on?”

“uh? excuse me! Aren’t you a goblin?”

Looking at the place Suyeon pointed to, a goblin from one of the pits dug by the moles, blinded by the jewel, was sweeping it into a sack.

Keruk! Keruk!

‘Couldn’t it be that the incident was not a human, but a goblin guy!’

[Hunter?]

‘The thief who stole the jewels from the gate came out, so of course I thought he was a hunter.’

[Humans… … Foolish.]

It’s not stupid.

No matter how familiar you are with the special situation of a gate, who would think that another monster would have stolen a monster’s jewel?

Of course I think it’s a human thing.

Keruk?

At that time, the goblin also began to look around, perhaps feeling the changing atmosphere.

He started running with his sack in surprise as the moles around him began to squeak and raise their claws.

“We have to stop!”

I quickly approached the entrance of the plaza, using the element of earth to block the escape route, and bound the goblins.

kek?

As he was running, his ankles were caught and he stopped in the air, and his expression turned to bewilderment.

Soo-yeon arrived near the goblin without hesitation and drew a dagger through the goblin’s throat and left.

crunchy?

As we caught the goblins in an instant, the moles that were on alert tilted their heads.

They soon went about their normal business, putting the gems the goblin had dropped back into place.

When I saw it, my heart sank. It was almost like repeating the past incident again.

“Huh, this is true. You are fast.”

Lee Hwi was also surprised to see us like that.

Lee Hui’s eyes followed Soo-yeon all the time.

Then he looked at me and said as if he had made up his mind.

“The offer. I accept it. Let’s do it together, Guild.”

I warmly embraced his outstretched hand.

“welcome.”

*

The first thing Kim Min-cheol, who became the head of the field general manager, did was call the field team leaders together.

“First of all, this is a map of the gates we have identified so far. The first thing we need to pay attention to is the inner and outer areas of Seoul.”

On the wall they were looking at, there was a map with red dots everywhere.

“So, from now on, I will give gate quotas according to each team’s grade.”

Having said that, Kim Min-cheol took pictures of the gates one by one from the outskirts of Gyeonggi-do and called the team leaders by name.

The team leaders were writing down the area they were assigned to in their notebooks every time they were called.

“Okay, here we go. This afternoon’s meeting will end with this, so that team leader Hwang Yi-chan remains for a while.”

After everyone left, Hwang Yi-chan, who remained, looked uncomfortable.

His expression was not good throughout the meeting, so Kim Min-cheol sat at his desk and looked at him.

“How are you feeling?”

“Can you see it?”

The moment he saw Hwang Yi-chan speaking with an angry expression and leaky pronunciation, Kim Min-cheol had to hold back the laughter that was about to come out.

“Are you laughing now? ah! sh*t. It hurts terribly.”

“Oh sorry. Because your face is so nonsensical.”

Hwang Yi-chan, who fainted after being hit by a knee kick from Yu Seo-jun, lost several teeth and cracked his jawbone.

Because of that, the state of his face with the device after surgery was incomprehensible.

“So why did you leave me alone?”

In response to Hwang I-chan’s question, Kim Min-cheol put on a serious expression and said,

“Soon Seo-jun Yoo will try to create a guild.”

“That’s right, if it’s the way it is now. The taxes will be huge.”

“So, we’re trying to stop that.”

“How do you mean?”

Kim Min-cheol explained the operation to Hwang I-chan.

Hwang Yi-chan concentrated and listened to the strategy and smiled sinisterly.
