Chapter 123
Episode 123
“Let’s go!”
The level rose by 8 levels in one go!
The clumsy lich’s level was a whopping 500. As a dungeon boss monster, it felt like it could last a long time considering its level, but it was no match for X.
Considering that I had risen 3 levels by defeating the Death Knight, it felt like a dungeon that generously gave me experience points.
Tiroling!
The next notification that came to mind was a notification announcing the clearing of the dungeon. X looked back.
‘It looks like Yongyong’s side has just finished.’
Yongyong defeated the Death Knight and helped the wolf leader, easily killing the one remaining wolf. Indeed, it was typical of a growing dragon to become more dependable as the days passed.
Finally, the time for the unmissable bargain has arrived.
‘Nothing more, nothing less, just one unique thing!’
If you’re hoping for a unique item rather than a rare item, you might be called a person with no conscience if others see it!
But X had a golden treasure. A nervous X placed his hand on Lich’s broken bones.
-Lich’s Jewel (Unique)
A jewel that decorated the Lich’s staff.
The effect is sealed.
Limit: Level 400↑
Special Effects: ?
“Unique is unique…”
It was a rather subtle item. First of all, it was unusual to have a level limit on something that wasn’t even an equipment item. Although the level limit was low, it was a whopping level 400. X shrugged his shoulders.
‘I guess I’ll have to break the seal first.’
Next time, should I point out that it is an equipment item and ask for it? But anyway, a harvest was a harvest. After taking Richie’s jewels, X went straight to Denise.
“Ugh… you…”
“It’s okay now. Rest assured.”
Denise was in pain but conscious. Fortunately, rescue was not too late.
At that moment, Tiroling! A notification rang.
[You have succeeded in the quest!]
“More details later. “The priority is to get out of here.”
The quest ended successfully, but Denise was still in a state of lack of energy.
Moreover, since I captured the lich and cleared the dungeon, there was not much time left until the entrance to the dungeon was sealed.
‘I can’t carry this…’
X hesitated in front of Denise.
Half human and half beast. Carrying Denise, whose lower body was like a deer, was definitely not the right posture.
At that time, the leader wolf howled. The look in his eyes telling me to get on his back.
“Then excuse me for a moment.”
Fortunately, the forest wolf’s large back was wide enough to accommodate X and Denise.
Slut!
The forest wolf ran at full speed. As I walked through the dungeon at high speed, I saw a light.
X, who came out of the dungeon, was shocked.
“…It’s a surprise.”
Forest creatures crowded into the dungeon entrance! The wolves of the forest, as well as other animals large and small, were welcoming Denis’ safe return.
X carefully got off the wolf’s back with Denise. Then the leader wolf threw back his head and howled.
-This human saved our friend Denise!!
Awww!!
The wolves in the forest howled loudly, following their leader. Birds flapped their wings and flew over X’s head, and even the trees shook their branches to express their gratitude. X muttered softly.
“Something about this is quite embarrassing.”
Just a few days ago, X had taken down countless lives here!
However, as the leader wolf said, everyone thought it was a natural providence and understood X. X, who was awkwardly scratching his head, burst out laughing.
“But you can’t break the mood.”
X quietly waved his hand to the gathered animals.
*
Denis, who returned to the Patran Forest, was recovering his stamina at an incredible rate. It was indeed a fitting description of him as the owner of the forest.
X was busy preparing a meal next to Denise.
‘I don’t know what to wear because I have eyes for this.’
burden!
Countless eyes were focused on X’s every move.
X saved his friend Denise! The expression of high affection for pure animals was extremely simple. X searched through his inventory diligently.
Since there were birds around, no chickens, no rabbits, and absolutely no wolf meat… Then all that was left was seafood.
When X took out the sea ingredients he had saved, the animals’ attention focused on him.
-What is this coppery smell? Who paid?
-Ugh, that’s gross. Do humans eat things like that?
-Ahh! The tail is wriggling!
‘It’s obvious that you’ll regret asking for more later.’
X started eating with a confident hand. With so many animals gathered around, technology was needed to make a lot of food with minimal ingredients.
Of course, it was easier for
Bubble bubble!
As the fish in the pot began to boil, a fragrant smell wafted out. X snorted.
“Look, I knew it would be like this.”
The wolves in the forest were drooling, making no difference to the chatter they had been shaking earlier. It was like seeing big dogs.
Soon, a banquet to celebrate Denise’s return began.
“Wow, I guess the next destination was the sea.”
For those who were born in the forest and died in the forest, the taste of seafood they tasted for the first time was like nothing else in the world!
Thanks to this, the seafood I had been saving was gone. Just as X was clicking his tongue, a small voice was heard.
“Did you save me?”
“Have you come to your senses now?”
“Yes, it’s okay now. By the way, how come you, a human being, are here? No, this is not the time to be discussing such things. “More than anything, thank you for saving me.”
Denise spoke in a boy’s calm yet slow voice.
Denise seemed to have a lot of questions about X. The emotions were clearly revealed on the face as the big eyes rolled back and forth. X chuckled and handed the bowl to Denise.
“Are you hungry? “Would you like to talk slowly while eating?”
X’s cool seafood broth was enough to captivate Denise. Denise finished her bowl and looked at X. At this point, you can communicate without even saying anything!
Denise couldn’t help but be amazed.
“This is my first time eating something like this! Mr. X, you were a great person!”
“I’m glad it suits your taste.”
“Anyway, I couldn’t even imagine. “I left the heavenly barrier slightly open for birds that lack food, but I never thought Mr. X would come in through the gap!”
Denis, the manager of the Patran Forest, had placed a barrier in the nearby forest. If he, a half-human, half-animal, wanders around the forest calmly, the nature could be damaged by the adventurers chasing him.
“Iknow, right. “I didn’t know there was a barrier either.”
The birds who saw the dangerous enemy X headed to the safest place in the forest! X had accidentally entered the barrier thanks to his persistent pursuit of those birds.
“Wow, how can grass taste like this?”
“That’s the power of a great spice sauce.”
“I don’t think I’ll ever forget this taste!”
X seemed to know why all the forest creatures worked together to save Denise.
Denise basically used a speaking style that made the listener feel good.
‘I need to learn this.’
When it comes to dealing with people, you can learn a few tricks that won’t get you anywhere. After the dinner, X started cleaning up after himself. Denise was next to him, helping X.
“Haha, it tickles.”
“Kyuuuuu.”
Yongyong seemed to like Denise. Yongyong was unusually charming to Denise, so much so that Dallas, who had been bullied, felt sad to see him. Denise opened her mouth.
“I’ve never seen such a charming dragon.”
“You mean that? “I’m not really this kind of kid.”
“Kyuut.”
However, if you pay too much attention, the owner will get upset.
Yongyong, who had been playing with Denis for a while, lay down on his stomach near X. After eating a lot, it seems like sleep is slowly falling. Denise lowered her voice and continued.
“Thank you again, Mr. X.”
“Of course it was something I had to say nothing about.”
“You can’t believe you gave a lich a chance like that. I think I still lack the skills to manage a large forest. “I don’t have the decency to see them.”
Denise had a gloomy face, as if she was about to burst into tears at any moment.
Knock knock!
X, who was concentrating on washing dishes, responded as if it was no big deal.
“You make mistakes when you’re young, and that’s how you grow. Who is good at anything from the beginning? “More than anything, there are so many people who have come here because they are worried about Denise.”
At X’s words, Denise raised her head and looked around. Countless lives flocked to him.
Denise could feel the affection given by nature. Soon Denise shook her head and spoke.
“If X says that, I have no choice but to gain strength again. From now on, I will never show myself weak again!”
A promise to yourself!
After declaring that, Denise helped clean up after herself even more vigorously. As I looked at Denise like that, I couldn’t help but become curious. X asked.
“Anyway, what did that quack Richie have for torturing Denis? “When I listened to his final words, it had a very regrettable nuance.”
“That…”
Does Denise herself know? All your thoughts are revealed on your face.
Even if it was Mr.
I was curious, but I didn’t really need to know. X shook his head.
“It’s done. Even if I listen to it, I don’t think it will be of any use.”
“sorry. “Because it’s not just about me…”
“No. “It’s already been so long.”
dawn! The dark sky was getting brighter. I raised my level, cleared the dungeon, and succeeded in the quest. Now that we have exceeded our goal, it is time to leave Patran Forest.
‘I’ll have to return to Arba first.’
A return order book that I kept for efficient movement!
While X was plotting his next destination in his head, Denise began searching his lower body.
Denise, who had been rummaging through the soft fur for a while to see if there was anything hidden there, held out her small hand.
“This is the only thing I can give to my benefactor.”
“Ah, you don’t have to give me anything…”
While refusing, X spread his palms wide.
What Denise gave to Ex was a leaf. Green leaves that look nothing different.
After confirming one piece of information, X’s face began to turn white.
Because an incredible information window came to mind!
-Leaves of the World Tree (Legendary)
Leaves that fell from the World Tree in legend.
An uncontrollable vitality is shaking.
Special Effects: ?
“Are you crazy?!”
The second legendary grade item following the Forgotten Seal!
X found it difficult to speak at the legendary level that appeared from a completely unexpected place. That alone is enough to make you faint, but take it one step further: the leaves of the World Tree.
World tree!
If the world tree mentioned here is the tree that has existed since the beginning, then this was not an ordinary occurrence.
After being surprised for a moment, X came to his senses and asked Denise.
“Denise, where on earth did you get something like this?”
“lol. I’m embarrassed to tell you, but I brought it from my hometown. I used to look into it every time I missed my hometown, but after this incident, I no longer need it. “Now I’m only going to look at the children in the forest who are looking at me!”
Denise seemed to have grown as a result of this incident.
Yes, growth is always good. X felt like he was going crazy because he was so excited when he saw his stats growing every day.
But how did the legendary world tree exist in this hometown? I had never heard of the World Tree existing on the Arba continent.
As I thought about that, I had an intuition that Denise was not an ordinary NPC, and at the same time, I remembered the cheeky advice I had given Denise. After finishing assessing the situation, X lowered his head.
“Thank you Denise! If you need more help, please call me anytime. rich? Skeleton? Illegal barrier intruder? It doesn’t matter!”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
