Chapter 27. The Human Hunter (1)
One.
The Prince’s Tomb!
The moment it was revealed, countless adventurers began to flock to the Kingdom of Ariant.
A lot of famous adventurers also gathered.
“He is the leader of the hunters!”
“Hey, they’re the adventurers of Elnas!”
Adventurers in each region are basic.
“The alchemists of Magatia have arrived too!”
“Edelstein’s resistance fighters have also come.”
Even alchemists who were not adventurers and resistance fighters wanted in Edelstein came.
That was quite something special.
Magatia’s alchemists are a group known for not leaving Magatia.
Also, the Resistance, as the expression suggests, was a resistance force, and they were wanted by Black Wing, who currently ruled Edelstein.
Meaning fugitive.
It is beyond common sense for such fugitives to appear in front of everyone.
But no one questioned their appearance.
“If it’s a prince’s tomb, then it’s worth it!”
The weight of the prince’s tomb was so great that it could make even non-adventurers into adventurers.
Rather, people of the world questioned something else.
“How about compensation for that?”
“compensation?”
“There’s no way King Abdullah VIII wouldn’t have any prizes, right?”
What will King Abdullah VIII present as a trophy at this grand festival?
“You’re going to give me a huge item, right?”
“I could give you gold.”
“Maybe you’ll give me the city?”
There was all sorts of talk about him.
Adventurers, on the other hand, were different.
The adventurers who gathered in Ariant had only one question on their minds.
“How on earth are you going to do the selection?”
Who will you vote for?
That would be the case, no matter how great the prize is, it would be meaningless if you can’t participate.
“Rumor has it that there are only about 200 adventurers who can enter the prince’s tomb?”
Moreover, the number of adventurers selected here could not exceed 300 at most.
So everyone thought.
“It’s not very likely that they’ll select you based on your skills. There’s no way to do that, and even if there were, it would take a long time.”
“The title is important.”
Adventurers will be selected based on their achievements, that is, their titles.
Naturally, people’s attention was drawn to them.
“Who is the best among the adventurers gathered here now?”
“Need I say more? Karthage, the great warrior of the desert!”
First of all, the first person mentioned in that interest was the desert warrior Karsa, who was considered the best among adventurers of the 4th circle or lower in the Nihal Desert.
It was natural.
The nickname “Warrior of the Desert” was given to him by none other than King Abdullah VIII himself.
“Karsa may be a great warrior, but wouldn’t the Red Scorpions be the best for something like this?”
The next group mentioned was the Red Scorpions, the group best at clearing Mystic Gates in the Nihal Desert.
“It would be a shame to leave out the adventurers of Elnas. I heard that the white wolf of Elnas is coming too?”
“They say that the magicians of Ellinia, the archers of Henesys, and the warriors of Perion will form a dream team on an airship departing from Victoria Island?”
Among the names mentioned was that one.
“What about El Palm Party?”
The name for the El Palm Party.
“You raided Jack Leach’s tomb?”
The story of Jack Leech’s tomb is well known among the adventurers of the Kingdom of Ariant.
It was also natural that the El Palm Party that had conquered that place was known.
Of course, it wasn’t known in a good way.
“El Palm, the fraudster?”
fraud.
That was the nickname of El Palm Party.
There was nothing strange.
In fact, the reliability of the adventurer’s achievements was not very high.
Moreover, the adventurers of the Ariant Kingdom looked down on the adventurers of Victoria Island.
It wasn’t really about pride or anything like that.
Because the whole world looked down on Victoria Island.
It’s natural to be suspicious of a reputation built in such a place.

“A scammer?”
“That’s right. How can five people accomplish such an absurd feat against a boss that even the leader hunters have given up on?”
“Not only that. Look at all the titles you’ve had so far. They can’t be real, right?”
“Of course. They were all fooled. They belong to the Gapor top group, right? It’s a really dirty place that has no foundation and is only interested in money.”
Moreover, the achievements of El Palm Party were in themselves incredible.
In many ways, it is inevitable that you will be treated as a fraud.
“What a f*cking nickname, the Scammer Party.”
Of course, from the perspective of the person involved, it was something to be angry about in many ways.
“You saved our lives thanks to us.”
Moreover, in the case of Jack Leach’s tomb, it would not have been strange if everyone had died there if it had not been for the El Palm Party.
But instead of being grateful for having your life saved, you spread false rumors like this?
“Just meet the leader of the hunters.”
“Of course, just meet me. I’ll have to punch a hole in your head.”
“It is unacceptable to tarnish the honor of the Knights of Signus.”
For adventurers who risk their lives for achievements, it is an unpleasant situation in many ways.
“It can’t stay like this.”
Even Ralph complained.
“Ralph, what are you doing? You’re only interested in money.”
“If you keep calling me a swindler, you won’t be able to make any money. This is unacceptable!”
“… … Then that’s right.”
Of course, the reason, as always, was money, but either way, everyone at El Palmar was dissatisfied.
“Boss, what are you going to do?”
“There’s nothing wrong with that.”
“yes?”
However, El Palm was an exception.
“No, I’m being treated like a scammer?”
“It’s better than being treated as competition.”
“Competitor?”
“Divo, what would we do if you were to compete with our party?”
“Well… … we’ll join hands with other parties. First of all.”
In his view, it was much more advantageous in many ways to be treated as a conman.
Because of this, El Palm didn’t really care about being treated like a fraud.
“No, boss, no matter what.”
Of course, it wasn’t a problem that could be overlooked just because El Palm said so.
“That’s not right. If I’m treated as a scammer, won’t I lose my position?”
No matter how much Prince Kashan pushes, there is no way that someone who is called a fraud will be able to participate in this event hosted by King Abdullah VIII.
“Does not matter.”
But El Palm didn’t worry too much about it.
‘Anyway, the area around the prince’s tomb is currently occupied by the Sand Drawing Group.’
The biggest reason why the Kingdom of Ariant had left the Prince’s tomb unattended was because it was under the influence of the Sand Figures, a resistance group opposing the Kingdom of Ariant, or more precisely, Queen Areda.
Every time the Kingdom of Ariant went on an attack, they did everything they could to sabotage it.
And the Mystic Gate was highly vulnerable to such acts of terrorism.
‘We have no choice but to attract other adventurers like we are doing now.’
That is why King Abdullah VIII is now recruiting adventurers on a large scale.
‘The Sand Figures’ purpose is to stop Queen Areda’s evil deeds. If they mercilessly attack adventurers, they will lose their purpose.’
The moment the Sand Figures attacked the adventurers who had gathered with pure intentions, they became nothing more than terrorists, not resistance fighters fighting for the people of the Ariant Kingdom.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that the Sand Drawing Group just sits back and watches.
So El Palm was sure.
“It will be different from the existing method. So, the name value is good.”
After selecting the adventurers, I’m going to come up with a different method to conquer the Mystic Gate, rather than the standard one.
And the time has come.
The capital of the Ariant Kingdom, a place filled with adventurers.
“It’s King Abdullah VIII!”
King Abdullah VIII appeared in the royal palace of the Ariant Kingdom.
A face covered with a thick white beard like a cloud, and over it he wore a huge purple turban.
“It’s smaller than I thought?”
In the appearance of Abdullah VIII, the extravagant royal image that was widely spread among the world was not visible.
Of course, it was different in El Palm’s eyes.
“The purple turban, how much do you think the red jewel hanging from it would cost?”
“yes?”
He knew.
“It’ll be expensive, but wouldn’t it cost around 100 million mesos? It’s just a jewel after all.”
“It’s the Onyx of the Onyx Dragon. It’s one of only two gems left in the world, and Captain Kyrin offered to trade it for the Nautilus.”
“yes?”
The value of that jewel.
“Hey, Golden Eye? Is that true?”
“Oh, really?”
Devo is surprised by those words.
Miner, on the other hand, was surprised in another way.
She had already heard that story from her master, Captain Kairin.
And in that story Captain Kairin said:
‘Two?’
King Abdullah VIII has the only onyx dragon in the world.
But both?
A part that leaves one with doubts.
But unfortunately, there was no opportunity to ask that question.
Flutter flutter!
“Something is coming down from the sky!”
A balloon rose into the sky, and countless pieces of paper began to pour down like rain.
“On a day when the sky turned black, where the stars passed by, and where the reddest flowers bloomed.”
Naturally, people picked up the paper and everyone could see it.
“The prince’s tomb is there.”
What this means.
‘It’s a fight for power.’
There is no such thing as selection.
There is no such thing as fame.
‘The first one to find it is the owner.’
Whoever finds this clue and reaches the prince’s tomb will take it all!
That was a huge break.
This means that even adventurers who lack fame can become the main characters of this big event if they have the skills and luck.
‘It won’t be easy, though.’
Of course, in other words, this Mystic Gate raid boasts a higher level of competition than ever before.
Because every adventurer who comes to the Kingdom of Ariant will rush in.
So everyone weighed it.
Is it really worth taking on this adventure?
In fact, the answer to this was already set.
‘Just look at what the reward is.’
King Abdullah VIII’s reward!
Each adventurer had his own expectations about it.
‘There is a high chance of getting a unique item.’
‘There can’t be just one, there must be quite a number.’
‘What kind of item will come out?’
Most expected the item.
That would be the case, since items of unique grade or higher cannot be purchased with money.
“He who brings the remains of my son.”
To such adventurers, Abdullah VIII showed:
“I will give you this.”
That was the moment.
Kukuku!
As soon as Abdullah VIII finished speaking, a group of workers came into the Ariant palace pulling elephants with a loud noise.
“Oh, my God.”
“Is that gold?”
An elephant made of gold.
Overwhelming wealth!
Abdullah VIII, no adventurer ever weighed the rewards he had prepared.
All adventurers behaved the same way.
Wow!
Everyone was excited.
“Wow!”
Among them was the El Palm Party.
“Are you crazy? You’re giving me that? If I just sold one leg, I could live comfortably for the rest of my life.”
“Wow. That much gold.”
Of course, even Devo and Kiri, who had no interest in money until then.
“This is crazy, this is crazy. Man, this is really crazy!”
Minerva, who was very interested in treasures, was naturally excited.
And everyone thought.
More than anyone else, Ralph would be thrilled.
“hmm.”
But Ralph, who was actually looking at the golden elephant, looked more calm than ever, rather than excited. “Hey, Ralph.”
Debo was surprised at the sight and asked.
“Where does it hurt?”
This is something that can’t help but be worrisome.
“What are you talking about?”
“No, there’s a golden elephant up for grabs right now, but there’s no reaction.”
“Calculating, calculating.”
“calculate?”
“I am calculating the amount of gold based on the volume of the golden elephant. I am also calculating the gold price in each region, transportation costs, and risk costs.”
But after Ralph’s words, no one worried anymore.
And Divo, whose worries had disappeared, looked at El Palm with a brighter face than ever and said:
“Boss! This is awesome! This is really awesome! If I just get one of these, I’ll never have to worry about money again!”
At that El Palm said:
“Uneasy.”
With a stern expression.
However, rather than being surprised by that expression, Debo nodded as if it was natural.
“Of course, it won’t be easy. All those who are blinded by the sight of the golden elephant will go on an adventure to find the prince’s tomb! Finding the prince’s tomb will be the problem right away.”
El Palm said to that debacle.
“That won’t be a problem.”
“yes?”
“Because I know where the prince’s tomb is.”
At those words, everyone, including Divo, looked at El Palm with surprised expressions.
“Uh, how is it?”
“I deciphered the password.”
Divo is startled by that short answer.
That was the moment.
Everyone’s expressions, including Devo’s, turned pale.
‘wait.’
It was because I realized it.
‘You think deciphering the code is easy? Then what does the boss mean by it being difficult?’
El Palm, what does it mean for him to be not easy?
El Palm was happy to tell his colleagues.
“The moment you enter the Prince’s tomb, everyone becomes an enemy. Without a single exception.”
