013.

Even if the magic lights lined the streets illuminated the streets at night, there were always dark places.

Could only things that benefit life be developed through the combination of various magical ingredients?

Among them, there are enough drugs to make a person’s life go downhill.

There is also magic that conceals a criminal act or location.

‘It must have been here.’

I have reached a dead end.

It was not difficult to recall this place.

‘Because Leah said she buys forbidden magic ingredients here.’

The taciturn kid even showed me a map and asked me to go with him later.

The reason she proposed to me was probably because she needed an escort.

Well, at the time, we couldn’t afford to go together because we were going through the nightmare difficulty, so we couldn’t be together.

Remember I was forgiving.

‘I can definitely feel the flow of magic.’

According to Leah, if there is no wizard, you will never be able to enter.

It was true.

A thin veil of magical power secretly woven.

There were loopholes to scatter them all over the place.

A person with lower magical power sensitivity than a wizard would not be able to disperse it.

Besides, the location changes from time to time.

Even if you delay a little time, the loophole will be repaired.

It was a very tricky barrier magic.

It was easy security for me.

“hmm.”

I crossed my arms and let out only my will.

At the same time, the chasm of magical power in response widened.

Fire!

Then a black passage appeared.

I pushed myself in without hesitation.

The passage that swallowed Lokram immediately disappeared.

Silence descended on the cul-de-sac again.

after a few minutes like that.

“what?”

Seira appeared in front of the alley and raised her eyes.

Waiting for the principal’s reply, she was stepping behind Lokram as he went out.

But this is the situation.

The conclusion of the current situation flashed through my mind.

“no way… .”

Sarah’s face turned pale.

In the past, his strong legs, which contributed to his reputation as a mid-level warrior, shook like a reed blown by the wind.

Before long, Seira, who sat down as if about to collapse, muttered stupidly as she couldn’t find a trace.

“He noticed my presence and cut off his tail… ?”

feel like vomiting.

The world went round and round at the fact that he could no longer help the weak disciple.

Still, on the other hand, why do I feel proud?

It must be because he taught him the technique of cutting the traces he used and hiding from pursuit.

I thought it would be so perfect that even I couldn’t detect it.

“Let’s calm down.”

Seira muttered quietly and stood up from her seat.

I do not know yet.

Because it may not be that he noticed himself and cut his tail.

I thoroughly inspected the area around the alley.

I was able to calm down in no time.

“ha… It was because of the concealment magic.”

There was no trace cutting, no concealment, or anything.

Lokram broke through a barrier that even he could not interpret and stepped into a hidden space.

The problem is probably that he doesn’t have the ability to pierce this magic.

‘Do I have to wait for now?’

I’m used to waiting.

So Seira stomped her feet.

I was thinking of watching the alley from a place where others couldn’t see.

Only then did the alleyway greet complete silence.

***

This place, which refers to the other side of Alcardo, has lived up to its name.

It’s all dark.

The streets and buildings were all pitch black.

It was a structure that stood out only with the name of the signboard written randomly with luminescent material.

‘Where is the auction house?’

The only thing Leah had heard was how to get in and out of this place.

What follows is uncharted territory.

I had to find out on my own.

‘Why don’t people talk?’

Even if they want to ask for directions, everyone is closed.

Like me, everyone was busy putting on their robes and going their own way.

Furniture owners didn’t even listen to questions other than the products they sold.

‘… found.’

I did find it though.

It was wide open at the end of the street.

It was like an auction house to attract high-ranking aristocrats and foreign powers who came secretly.

“The ticket is 100 gold.”

In other words, 1 platinum coin.

I narrowed my brows at the receptionist’s words.

Calling the price of twenty pills just to enter?

He didn’t even carry a knife, he’s a robber.

However, those who even wore masks on their robes were showing up.

It seemed that 100 gold was just a pittance here.

Of course, so did I.

Since I received a lot of gold as a quest reward in Aden Saga 1, there was enough money left to buy the whole thing.

What surprised me was pure admiration for their insane pricing, and I handed over a platinum coin.

“thank you. Customer, get your number here.”

I put my number tag on the front of my robe and entered.

“I’ll take you this way.”

As if they were willing to pay the price of 100 gold, the waitress intensively managed each customer.

I boarded the ranks.

Soon, I was guided to the middle row and was able to bury myself on a soft sofa.

I’m tired from coming here, but it’s comfortable.

If I relax even for a moment, I will fall asleep right away.

I woke up with the champagne poured by the waiter.

I liked the taste of the apple that tingles in my mouth.

“Now then, I will announce the start of the auction while first thanking the customers who filled the seats today!”

After waiting for several minutes, the moderator came out.

I couldn’t hold back a yawn at his boring progress.

Since no one would recognize him anyway, he lazily rolled the charging stone in his hand.

It would be nice if you could quickly get rid of the rubbish and show us the artifacts you’ll be using.

“Then I will reveal the first product!”

Artworks from the past, beautiful handicrafts, famous swords and skulls of powerful monsters.

Collectibles are good things for rich people to drool over.

But these were things I didn’t even notice.

Still, there were products that caught my interest in the middle.

Just like that

“This is an item from the 5 forbidden regions! It is a place that you all know well. 30% survival rate from the moment you step in! It’s not even the beginning of Fort Leode in the Gentle Forest, it’s a young plant from the middle!”

At the word Yeongcho, I opened my eyes wide.

If it was in the middle of Fort Leode, it would be difficult for even intermediate warriors to survive.

The spirit grass I brought from there might be helpful to me.

Confirming the Yeongcho shown by the moderator, I made a sound of cheating.

what is that

It’s not a young weed, it’s just a weed.

Still, it is a group of grass that is hard to see unless it is in a golden zone.

Of course, the rich people in this place didn’t recognize it either.

It’s me, I know because I’ve read Aden’s collection of settings.

There was no such form in my head as I memorized all the spirits.

“Then let’s start with a starting price of 30 Platinum!”

Is the phrase “open your eyes and cut your nose” used in such a situation?

At the moderator’s words, you and I both started raising prices.

Hearing the efficacy of the well-packaged youngcho, his eyes widened.

Well, what kind of man would refuse stimulants?

It also has a faint awakening effect, so buyers won’t notice anything strange.

While they were understood, they were pitiful.

Even so, I have no intention of telling the truth.

“Then it’s time to reveal the final product of this auction!”

I wondered if it was an artifact, but I just lost my strength.

Contrary to what was expected, the auction house in the shadows was nothing to see.

He kept his chin tucked in and kept a stern face.

My expression broke with the appearance of the last product.

“hmm?”

No one reacted to seeing that.

Only I have recognized its value.

It has to be, because that was an object that penetrated the core of the Aden saga.

“No one knows the origins of this excavated in an ancient site! But from the looks of it, it doesn’t look like a simple walking stick, does it? Would you like to see all kinds of jewels and decorations neatly inlaid? Experts identified this as an ornament worn by an ancient king.”

The experts are wrong.

That’s not a cosmetic.

It’s the grim expression I’ve shown before, with no one recognizing its worth.

On the other hand, it’s been a long time since I turned into those chideul who were crazy about weeds.

“ruler! The starting price of this last prize is 1 Platinum!”

It is an auction that is not of interest to the prolific youngsters who should have already bought it.

That’s why I was able to get a wand for 10 platinum coins, overcoming some minor competitors.

The amount of 1,000 gold was broken, but it didn’t matter.

Because it was something that was worth it.

‘I thought I’d get the seven major artifacts of the demon king here.’

The demon king described only in the setting.

It was exactly as I saw it in the illustration representing the bastard.

This was the ‘Death Swallow’ he used as a sidearm.

‘Hmm.’

Anyway, how do you carry this?

I think you need to activate it with a charging stone to get a quote.

But would there be any problem if I deal with the artifact used by the demon king?

‘If there is a problem, it’s enough to break it right away.’

With that determination, the place I arrived at was an alley where no one went in and out.

I was thinking of activating the artifact before leaving the dark street.

It doesn’t matter if the black magic spreads out the moment it is activated.

The one wrapped in a veil will cover the energy.

I didn’t hesitate because I knew that it also applied to artifacts I had already come into contact with.

oh oh… .

The charging stone placed on the Death Swallow responded immediately.

An unusual flow of magical power revitalizes a disabled artifact.

My senses caught it clearly.

Unprecedented power seeping into the dried-up magic circuit glows.

Soon, when powerful black magic was about to emanate from the staff, I hid all that energy.

‘Fortunately, it works.’

I let out a sigh of relief and checked the condition of the wand.

It seems quite powerful that the vicious aura is purified and flows into black magic.

I let go of my will to see what abilities I had.

The unknown sense that I got used to by calibrating my mental power.

I stuck out my tongue at the power of the artifact.

‘It’s an artifact with no count limit.’

Even my skills were suitable for my job.

‘amplification. It’s the ability to unleash the dark magic of the undead… Good?’

These are my Undead, who are still in an enhanced state.

It had the downside of completely disappearing after 3 minutes if it was run over with artifacts, but it was an ability that benefited more than damage.

If it doesn’t work with the quantity, shouldn’t we win with a stronger quantity?

There was nothing better than surviving in a world where defeat was death.

‘Do I need to hold a cane to deal with this from now on?’

It’s a bit cumbersome.

It was the moment I was about to put it in my inventory with the thought that I should find a way to change its form.

Hwaaak!

Suddenly, a staff stained black climbed up his left arm in an instant.

I was so flustered that I couldn’t even speak and my body froze.

Poor physical ability and insensitivity were the result of the added penalty.

Fortunately, my head figured out in an instant that this wasn’t a bad thing.

So while I was silent, the staff was completely in place on my left arm.

‘I even got a tattoo all of a sudden.’

It saved me the trouble of taking it out every time I needed it, but honestly it was ugly.

A tattoo of a snake covered in spirals on his left arm.

‘Should I buy a Toshira?’

Thinking about this and that, I turned around.

What I saw in my eyes was a group of unidentified people.

He wears the same robe as me.

They even wore masks to completely hide their identities.

In addition, the appearance of carrying various weapons seemed unusual.

Anyone could see that it was an attacker who came looking for auction items.

‘Eak.’

I also raised the mask attached to the robe to the top of my nose in order not to recognize my face.

The instant the eyes capture it, the contrast ends.

Even if my senses are dull and weak, my will follows my mental strength.

‘Should I sweep it right away?’

The aura I feel is black magic.

I think you belong to the Demon King’s Army.

Can you clean up on the degree line?

Once I prepared for the summons, they reacted unexpectedly.

Clink!

Drop your weapons one by one.

Starting with the one in the lead, they prostrated themselves before me.

A moment of bewilderment at the obvious sign of submission.

one guy shouted.

“The Black Child family sees the fragments of the Demon Lord!”

What kind of situation is this?

I looked at them alternately with the tattoo on my left arm.

When our eyes met, I swallowed in vain and lowered my head.

Apparently, they had misunderstood my true identity.
