Episode 313. Evening (2)
“hello.”
Well then, let’s start a conversation politely, following Earth-style etiquette.
“Are you available to talk now?”
-You must have gotten the call if it was possible?
A man’s voice soon flowed out from the speaker.
‘What a shame, talking about mammals.’
He took the phone off his ear for a moment and stared blankly at the screen.
But such expressions of discontent that were not conveyed were fleeting.
“Excuse me, I’m contacting you suddenly. But I have something to ask you.”
By the way, this sentence is not just a simple greeting.
At first, I was going to make a desperate wish, saying, “Come out to the address I wrote down right now,” without even explaining the whole story.
After thinking about it carefully, no matter how I tried to summarize this incident, it was something extraordinary.
A lobbied civil servant.
The Mysterious Guild [QuantumPulse].
There are criminals who came out disguising themselves as Beasts after Brooklyn Morgan’s death?
‘The flow is strange. It would be best to gather as much information as possible before going into action.’
If you think about it.
Kang Chang-ho was especially useful in this regard, even without military assistance.
Strangely enough, the Earthlings had far more information than other mammals.
‘Of all the hunters I know, this guy is the one who is the most adept at illegal activities.’
So, he immediately asked the hunter with the surname Kang.
Let’s leave the special features of that gate aside for now.
In fact, something has happened in our capital right now, and he soon expressed a deduction, starting with the news that a suspicious armed group appeared inside a certain gate.
“But it has been confirmed that the identity of that armed group is the ‘BEAST’ that has been making a lot of noise these days.”
-… … .
“I think Hunter Kang Chang-ho might have heard about them through his information. But first, did you happen to know the identity of the Beast?”
Kim Ki-ryeo finished speaking and tilted his ear toward the speaker.
After the questioning ended, the third S-class from Korea took a long time to answer.
-hmm?
He spoke in a rare, questioning voice.
– Beast, who was causing a ruckus in the middle of America just the day before yesterday, is suddenly in Seoul this time.
“Yes, yes. I see you saw the news this morning, Hunter.”
-But why are you trying to find out the identity of those criminals from me?
Sigh.
There was a brief sound like the rustling of a collar or cloth beyond the speaker.
If I had to guess, it seemed like the person on the other end of the line had now changed his posture to crossing his arms.
-Even though there was no one to check this separately, I honestly ignored the visible magic and lived my life… … .
“Yes, thank you.”
-I didn’t say that to get some heartless gratitude. I clearly warned you not to get involved in the future, but if you keep going like this, it’ll be troublesome. Or is it that Hunter-nim’s only wish is to know the identity of the Beast? Or is it that he’s protesting because the compensation payment has been delayed?
As Korea’s third S-class took a deep breath with a sour look on his face, something seemed unpleasant.
This person hurriedly added an additional explanation before the other person became more upset.
“Not everything. I just have another request to make. Since this is a matter involving a weirdo like Beast, I’d like to prepare as much as possible in advance if possible…”
The person you are talking to will then make a sound indicating that they understand.
“This is the last remaining help I can give you. Sir, I would like to ask you a favor. If you know anything about it, please share some information while you’re at it.”
As the alien tried to please Earth’s culture by using polite language as much as possible, the other side quickly responded with a positive response.
-Ah, when a subordinate says something like that, it’s hard for me as an elder to pretend not to know.
for a moment.
-Hmm.
However, compared to everyday life, the call quality seems to be too low these days.
It was around the time when Kim Ki-ryeo was tilting his head, following the muddy sound.
A new voice was heard.
-First of all… … . Let’s make that part clear first. Unfortunately, your request to reveal the identity of the Beast is ‘impossible to fulfill’ right now.
What are you talking about?
-Beasts have rare superpowers, so of course I was interested in them, but it wasn’t to the extent that I wanted to tenaciously reveal their true identities.
“hmm.”
-Besides, until the beginning of this year, there was a misunderstanding about a certain industry person named Kim.
“yes?”
-Anyway, to cut to the conclusion, I don’t know anything about Beast’s identity.
This useless… … .
As soon as he heard Kang Chang-ho’s answer, the black eyes of the dead body changed into even more severe Sam-baek-an.
As Kiryeo was staring into space with such a discontented expression, he swallowed his irritation, but suddenly a word came out that changed the mood.
-… … I don’t know, but I do know for sure that there are no Koreans among those weirdos wearing bone masks.
weird.
Since I have seen the Beast’s bare face in person, I naturally know that it is a foreigner.
But how did Kang Chang-ho know this for sure?

It was a moment when doubt crossed my mind.
Kang Chang-ho continued the conversation in his usual tone.
Actually, I looked into the domestic situation when Beast started causing trouble again.
-Let’s talk about the information we gathered at that time. When the Beast took over the gate in France, all of our country’s S-classes were in the country. Oh, by the way, this wasn’t something I found out through my eyes, but through my departure records, so don’t worry.
“I’m sorry, but I really don’t know, so I’m asking. It seems like you’ve just checked someone else’s immigration records without permission. Is that okay?”
Anyway, that’s pretty much it.
There’s a tip that the newly emerged 2nd generation Beasts aren’t Korean.
-But it’s really unexpected that the Beast group suddenly wanted to go to the dungeons on the Korean Peninsula.
Kang Chang-ho continued speaking, ignoring the chatter of the former contractor who had interrupted for a moment.
-Since you provided me with interesting information in real time first, I guess I should do a little research on this side as well.
“How long will it take?”
– It may take a while since things don’t always go as planned. But since I thought I’d share some information without making a wish, don’t be too harsh on the quality of this service.
I had high expectations, but surprisingly there was no information gained.
‘If we can’t find out the identities of the fake beasts right away, then it’s a mistake to try to do it politically anyway. Then.’
But even if things go this way, what we ultimately have to do doesn’t change.
Because I had to somehow reclaim that dungeon that the beasts had occupied.
He finally picked up his phone and got to the point.
“Okay, I understand about the investigation. I’ll write down the address here, so please come here.”
-Where? Seoul?
“Yes. Actually, my real request is for Mr. Kang Chang-ho to come here and help us reclaim the dungeon that was taken away.”
If it’s completely unfavorable like in Kagoshima, then that’s understandable.
However, right now, with the help of Jeong Ha-seong, Esther, and other guilds, we are able to gather quite a few A-class Awakened players.
So, Kang Chang-ho calculated that he would not surrender right away like last time, and so Kiriaga blurted out the words.
-It might be difficult.
But I never would have thought it would end up like this from the start.
“What?”
The rough tone comes out unrefined.
‘No, it’s not like the person asked me to catch all three beasts, so this nonsense is coming from Dojin Bird… ‘
But the opponent maintained a calm tone regardless of whether the alien got angry or not.
-It’s not for some petty reason like you’re thinking. It’s just that I’m in India right now and can’t go to Seoul right now.
“What did you say?”
-It’s India now.
Kang Chang-ho also had his own circumstances.
-Wait a minute, by the way, why did you go to such great lengths to recapture a dungeon that someone else had already entered? Was there an explanation for that?
Kim Ki-ryeo held the cell phone and said.
“Because it’s a dungeon that’s on the verge of a break. It even looks to me like they’re increasing the number of monsters inside the dungeon to its limit.”
I chose this sentence because I thought people in the same industry would be able to understand it to this extent.
But the tone that came back was surprisingly not much different from before.
-Hmm, you know a lot, but sometimes you make conversations boring… … .
Just before the alien asked what he had just said.
Kang Chang-ho spoke first.
-anyway.
But Kim Ki-ryeo couldn’t hear the end of the words he was about to say.
-hmm?
And with this one sudden exclamation:
Because the call ended suddenly.
The fourth S-class from Korea was surprised and called again.
But on the cell phone, the ‘ring ring ring’ sound lasted for several dozen seconds before switching to the guide’s voice.
[Beep sound after connection failure, then voice prompt… … .]
The call ended right away.
After being reincarnated on Earth.
Considering the bond and trust built up between the two over the past year and three months, this was the result that immediately came to the Archmage’s mind.
‘This wicked mammalian baby!’
He momentarily suspected that Kang Chang-ho had deliberately turned off the device because he did not want to keep his promise.
But when I thought about it more carefully.
Considering the mammal’s usual disposition, I thought that Kang Chang-ho would have just refused it openly and not have gone out of his way to avoid it in such a dirty way…
Then why did contact with that S-class suddenly break off?
***
Same time.
Immediately after the international call was forcibly terminated.
“──Huh?”
Manarai, southeastern India.
Originally, it was not a very populated area, but after experiencing a major dungeon break a few years ago, the landscape of the empty plains, which was currently entering a depopulation phase, changed in an instant.
To be precise, the image in the eyes of the observer who was talking on the phone there changed.
Swish.
Just a moment ago, a beautiful sunrise was hanging over these sparkling green irises.
I think the dragon’s treasure trove that the West mainly thinks of has this kind of atmosphere.
Kang Chang-ho suddenly found himself in a dark and damp cave.
Heterogeneous landscapes and high horsepower values.
There are radio waves there that are so isolated from the outside world that they can no longer reach.
The obvious features of another world appearing within.
“Gate?”
Kang Chang-ho is currently in the dungeon.
However, even though he was dragged into a dark cave, the large figure did not seem to feel any pressure and his demeanor was uninhibited.
A Korean quickly looks around.
Moreover, when he saw the image of another Earthling, not his own, at the end of his gaze, he even laughed with a look of bewilderment.
“Am I just falling for the same trick you used?”
The dragon’s eyes roll in a certain direction.
“And on top of that, you got hit in the back of the head by a trader who had been waiting patiently for your call just a moment ago?”
Across from this cave stood an Earthling who looked a little different.
People like Kang Chang-ho who don’t usually leave their own territory usually set goals in advance when they go out.
Besides, since he had made up his mind to come all the way to this distant land of India, it is only natural that he had grand plans.
“Oh my, why are they calling out the price of the item so high?”
In the backroom market where weapons are traded, the result of hitting someone on the back of the head is obvious, so I don’t know what they want.
Kang Chang-ho muttered that something had happened and thought again about his situation.
‘Has the pseudo-researcher’s notebook spread all the way here? Or has the same verification already been completed overseas?’
The reason he suddenly moved to subspace was because the research results and methods used by Su Ye-hui during the kidnapping incident were identical.
“Mr. Kang Chang-ho.”
Then the person who had been planning to trade with me spoke to me.
“First of all, calm down. I have no intention of causing any harm and……”
However, the S-class hunter from Korea completely ignored the language coming out of the other person’s translator and said what he wanted to say.
“Let’s see, the best way to escape from this rigged gate is… to use some kind of thread-like item.”
For reference, Kang Chang-ho was not wearing Pixie’s translator.
“Unfortunately, there is no one in this world who has my coordinates.”
The muscular man tilted his head, his arms crossed slightly.
“No one is worth it, of course.”
The owner of the dragon’s eyes rolls his gaze so much that he becomes three hundred eyes in an instant.
Moreover, Kang Chang-ho, who had been directly conversing with others in English until just a moment ago, now started talking in his native language without even bothering to use a foreign language.
