Episode 551: The Secret Room (4)
Here’s a summary of what we got from this secret room.
‘An unidentified golden book containing the story of siblings.’
Well, I don’t know how to use this right now.
Except for this, the rest of the loot (?) was a different story.
‘Seven summoning books.’
It’s not just a book for summoning, it’s a book that you can’t see on the bookshelf.
There are more than 10 rare mimics in it.
Strangely, the monster’s picture wasn’t black and white, but it was painted over with blue, red, etc.
Like the monster picture part is displayed as ‘???’.
Seven books with such peculiarities.
‘Suspicious fountain pen.’
In addition, the fountain pen that Hamsik had on his desk was added.
“Hemsik, how do you use this fountain pen?”
[That, that’s…]
Hamshik, who had been hesitating for a long ti, said honestly, saying, ‘Yes, because we are friends…’.
[If you use this pen to paint over the picture in the book… you can get the essence of that color.]
“what?!”
[Cow, don’t scream! Aren’t you surprised!]
No, then say it carefully so as not to be surprised.
A fountain pen that can get the essence of the color you want with a certainty…?
Can sothing like this exist in the world?
It’s a fraudulent item to the extent that you think so, but unfortunately, there were limits to fountain pens.
Grade 3 or lower.
And the number of tis it can be used is only twice.
‘Yes, there’s no way this item can be used unlimitedly.’
Disappointnt ca over , but thinking that the opponent was [Dungeon and Stone] eased it a bit.
The guy who expected it was just an idiot…
It’s crazy enough for this ga.
‘This is unexplored territory…?’
It seed like he knew why all the explorers had their eyes turned to the newly opened basent.
5th floor, 6th floor, 7th floor too.
When all of them were first opened, there must have been such a fraudulent hidden piece.
“More than that, Hamsik, how did you know about fountain pens? How many tis did you use it before I ca?”
[No way!]
“Hmm, after going through that, the explanation was very specific.”
[I just knew! Ever since I was born!]
Although he had never used it, Hamsik knew from the beginning what this fountain pen was for.
[Why are you putting that in!]
As I naturally put the fountain pen in my bosom, Hamshik had another seizure.
[That, that fountain pen is also sothing that should be handed over to a qualified person…!]
oh yeah
“But you said you could use it twice, didn’t you?”
[however…?]
“Wouldn’t it be okay to write it once and then give it to you? to soone who deserves it.”
[Muh, what nonsense—!]
“Or is there a rule that says it must be given intact?”
[Uh… it’s not like that…]
“Then there will be no problem!”
Okay, then the fountain pen problem ends here.
It seems that you can go out and use it once, think about the remaining number of tis, decide where to use it, and then persuade.
So, in that sense, I slowly turned my attention towards the last loot.
“It’s a map…”
A map that seems to have drawn a condensed version of the entire first basent floor.
Several islands are drawn around the rocky island that was the starting point…
A fountain pen is also a fountain pen, but this map was also a great harvest.
That’s because the ti to wander around to reveal the map has been reduced.
“There are two islands I haven’t been to yet.”
As a result of consultation with the navigator Auyen, one is a week’s distance from the library.
The answer ca that the other one should go about a month.
“It’s been a month… It’s a much wider class than expected.”
“Yes…but, if there is one problem…the location of this island is the direction in which the rainbow was seen at that ti.”
“So, does that an there is a possibility that this island was on the other side of the rainbow?”
“Well… I can’t give you a definitive answer yet, but I’m guessing it’s not just an unfortunate coincidence.”
Well, I thought so too.
In that sense, this island will be called Rainbow Island from now on…
“Hamshik, do you know what lies beyond this map?”
[I do not know…!]
Hamshik, who was staring at the ssy room in vain, answered with a pout.
He seems a bit sulky, but that doesn’t an he’s lying.
‘Then you really don’t know…’
For now, it’s probably better to think that this map isn’t everything.
My curiosity only grew.
What will happen if you go outside this map? No, would it be possible to leave in the first place?
I think I know why people were so curious about the end of the world when they believed the earth was flat.
‘Anyway, you’ll know this later when you visit yourself…’
“Mr. Yandel, look at this part here.”
Soon, Versil pointed to a place on the open map.
It was the part where the giant island was located, to be precise, the part where the cave we stayed in was located.
“Do you see the picture shown here?”
“This… I think it refers to the portal tombstone.”
“Does it look like that too?”
The pattern of the tombstone drawn in the cave area.
However, there is a very intuitive mark under the pattern.
“An arrow pointing down…”
What does this really an?
‘B2 floor.’
Everyone who looked at the map seed to have the sa thought, but no one said it.
One ti when silence continued like that.
“…then would you like to take a look here?”
Versil moved her finger on the map to point to a new location.
The first to find out the location was Auyen.
“This is… the village chief’s island…”
“Yes. There are only two tombstone markers on this entire map, and one of them is here.”
Soon after, the mont Versil pointed to the spot, he felt out of breath.
Should I call this good news?
Or should I say bad news.
“At least I found a way out.”
The arrow drawn under the tombstone pattern was pointing upwards very clearly.
***
I found an exit.
No, strictly speaking, I found a place that was “presud” to be the exit.
This alone was good news for those of us who seed to be wandering in the open sea without any clues.
but….
‘It must be the village chief’s island…’
This fact takes my breath away.
After all, in order to return to the city, it ans that, like it or not, I have to run into the village chief soday.
“So, can we go back to the city now?”
“Okay! Waaaaaaa!!”
So of the crew burst into cheers with excitent just having found the exit, but unfortunately, there were several problems left to escape.
“By the way… is it really possible to escape? At that ti, even on the island of giants, the tombstone did not work…”
“I guess that too. Just like when we ca down, there must be so condition to be fulfilled.”
As so intellectuals say, finding an exit is not the end. Before that, you must first figure out how to activate the portal stele.
Breaking through the village chief will be the next problem.
but….
“rainbow! An island that is in the direction of that rainbow! Isn’t there a key to sothing on that island?”
Here are a few things you might want to try. Well, we didn’t just co down here and suck our fingers.
‘The most likely is Rainbow Island, but even if it’s not there, I’ll be able to figure it out naturally if I attack all the other islands.’
In that sense, I asked Hamshik one more thing.
“Hemsik, what kind of monster is on the topmost bookshelf?”
How far do you have to level up to clear this library island?
Hamshik’s answer to this question was simple.
Taking the explorer’s standard as an example, I didn’t say what grade it was, but…
[Toll-Lapupa, Kashan, Leviathan, Frahel, Ridgar…]
After all, you have to get the 1st grade at the end.
Still, I’m glad there’s only one, not several?
“What if I catch them?”
Hearing my question, Hamshik spoke to again in a solemn voice.
[I do not know.]
“Is there any ‘entitlent’ you speak of or not?”
[Again, I don’t know. I have no mory of it.]
Yes, this is all I ate, so find out what’s left for yourself.
“Hemsik, what should I do to get out? Can we go out to that portal over there?”
I think I’ve finished all the investigations, and now I have nothing more to gain from this place.
However, Hamshik, who heard , tilted his head.
[huh? Can’t you leave once you co in?]
“……what? What if I say that now—”
[Beep! It’s a joke! Let’s go over there!]
oh, i was really surprised
When I was laughing out loud because I was dumbfounded, Hamshik looked at with a smile, wondering what was so fun about it.
[Beep…! Isn’t it common sense to play pranks with friends!]
Seeing that you like it so much, I can’t even get mad at you.
He smiled and led his crew outside.
The stone gate was still wide open, emitting light, but when Ham-sik ca out last, the light disappeared and the door closed.
“But Hamsik, do I have to open the door like that every ti I go in?”
[however?]
“I think I heard that this is where you live. Wouldn’t it be inconvenient to be like that every ti you go in?”
[well? Normally, I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all! I was organizing the books, but I couldn’t go in because you guys ca!]
Ah, that’s why you couldn’t even enter the house and wandered around and got caught by us.
It must have been because we went to sleep at that ti that we only wandered around at night.
“I’m going to go hunting again after sleeping, what are you going to do in the anti?”
[caliber!]
“How about organizing the books?”
[When there is no one… I will do it when you leave and there is no one.]
“why? Oh, I’m not saying to do it now, I’m just curious. It’s revealed to us anyway, so can’t we just do it?”
[…I’ll do it when I’m not there. So don’t force it.]
Well, in that case, I have nothing to say.
After completing the exploration of the secret room, we returned to the library and resud our camp.
And as soon as the next morning ca, the hunt began imdiately.
“You have defeated Mimic.”
“You have defeated Mimic.”
“You have defeated Mimic.”
“You have defeated Mimic.”
“I killed Mimic…”
First of all, the first thing I summoned was the mimic summon book I got from the secret room. However, unfortunately, no essence was dropped even after catching more than 10 of them.
Only when the essence cos out to root the item in the [Treasure Warehouse].
‘It’s surprisingly calm.’
Is it because he knows that the best Mimic is worth about 30 million stones anyway?
I don’t feel very sad about it.
This isn’t the only summon book I got this ti.
So, I read all the rest of the summon books.
“…drake?”
In the book marked with ‘???’, Drake, a 4th grade flying monster, was summoned.
What, I was nervous inside to see what would co out.
Is it just really 100% random?
I don’t know, but all he dropped was one magic stone.
“So now all that’s left is a colored book.”
Five summon books containing painted monsters.
As a result of reading all of them, these books had sothing in common.
The red essence of the monster was dropped from the book with the monster picture painted in red, and the blue essence from the one painted blue.
‘The problem is that all of them except for one that was rated 3 were rated 5 or lower.’
The 5th grade or lower was discarded without any worries, and the 3rd grade essence was passed over to Armin Exploration Team because there was a requester.
and….
‘I’ve already finished it.’
As a result, all the summon books brought from the secret room were consud without much profit.
Well, the main dish, ‘fountain pen’, remained, but…
‘It would be right to write this after seeing the angle until the end.’
I wanted to use this to extract the essence of Bellarios right away, but I made my decision as rationally as possible.
It’s not like we’re just hunting today.
There is also the possibility of eating essence with natural bread, but already using it felt like a very hasty waste.
thus….
“You have defeated Stone Winter.”
「You have defeated carote. EXP 7”
「You have killed the Frost Guardian.」
“Vol-Herchan has been defeated.”
“I defeated the chanical giant…”
“…”
Eat breakfast and hunt.
Eat lunch and hunt.
How many more days of hunting before going to sleep after dinner?
Day 99 after entering the labyrinth.
‘The labyrinth will open again in the city tomorrow.’
The ti has co for newbies to co in.

“Vice-captain, did you hear? The news!”
“Ah, that’s…”
Arua Raven, the vice-captain of the Royal Third Magic Corps, smiled bitterly.
Basent 1, Archives.
Wherever you go in the city, these days it’s just that story.
After all, shocking rumors have recently started to circulate in the city.
Bjorn Yandel is still alive and well there.
And, she got two single numbers.
The rumor that was first leaked from demons, whose authenticity has not been confird.
“Vice-captain… is the rumor really true?”
“It doesn’t matter whether the rumors are true or not. We just need to do our job well. I will wake up first.”
Raven dismissed his subordinate’s question, finished the al first, and returned to his office.
Are the rumors true or not?
There is no point in worrying about it.
Either way, what she wants is the sa.
I hope the rumors are true.
Then you won’t have to worry like you’re sick every day.
“Haa… If it’s real, it’s annoying as it is.”
B1.
An unexplored area where nothing has been revealed.
What mysteries and unknowns will exist there, and what great exploration is Bjorn Yandel and his colleagues on?
“Whoa…”
She sighed and shook her head.
A uniform that I’m so used to.
And the badge of the magic corps on the top of her chest.
Today, this outfit felt cramped and intrusive.
“Okay, so let’s do our thing…”
After repeating to herself a little bit what she had said to her n before, she went about her business again.
and that evening.
“Vice-captain! This is a direct official letter from the royal family!”
She had her royal official mail sent to her.
She was full of all sorts of rhetoric and difficult words, but as she was accustod to her official duties, a three-line summary was possible.
1. The royal family is going to explore the first basent level.
2. That’s why we need talent with exploration experience.
3. You are perfect.
After reading the official docunt, Raven stood up from her chair as if she were jumping like a live fish.
And she hurriedly began to pack her things.
