Chapter 162 Interview
The slave warden, glet, encountered while escaping.
He went straight to suppression.
I tried to run away, and once pretended to be crazy and attacked.
glet, the NPC in charge of the 39th floor, was strong and was overpowered without a proper resistance.
“are you okay?”
“yes. It’s worth living.”
To put it simply, I got excited and exploded.
labor yard. Kim So-dam, who pulled out of the floor, asked anxiously.
Actually, it’s not fine. The damn devil kept hitting only where he had purposely hit.
The intention was obvious, so I defended it, but like a ghost, I made a gap and attacked.
I guess that’s the difference in skill.
There were many things, but as a result, all six people who were called by him beca slaves.
The proof is this.
“Why are you wearing this? I don’t understand.”
It is a chain on the ankle.
Oh Ji-hyeok grumbled. A face full of annoyance. When he shakes his foot, the chains tremble. At the end of it was a heavy iron ball.
It looks like you’re trying to restrict your movent.
“Still, isn’t it worth using? If you kick it like this, you can use it instead of a hamr.”
– Quaang!
The problem was that we were all Awoken, no different from superhumans.
Kim So-dam, who easily wields an iron ball that weighs 20 kilograms.
The sa goes for Oh Ji-hyeok. Every ti he kicks, the iron ball attached to the chain flies and hits the wall.
why are we hitting the wall
[You have been selected as a slave.]
[Dig down and excavate an artifact.]
[The slave status is maintained until you die or a team mber creates a portal.]
The reason we were brought as slaves was excavation.
Although it was a poor environnt to call it an excavation.
The hole in the mountain range, which was thought to be a mine or a cave, was a space for digging down the ground.
I don’t know where this place is or what it is doing.
It just chanically digs into the ground.
The scale is large. The space was quite wide to think that it was pierced by human power.
how wide it is.
“Kieack!”
“Aagh!”
“Those damn stones might break them.”
“Oh, that’s annoying.”
That’s enough to have the devil gargoyles left over to supervise us, and about forty slaves at once.
Yes.
Surprisingly, not all of the six people caught this ti were working as slaves.
So were caught before us, and strangely enough.
“kill. kill!”
“You will pay the price in blood!”
Those who seed to be NPCs were also mixed in.
Although there aren’t that many of them.
About 5 people. At first glance, yes.
The appearance itself was similar to that of the labor warden, glet.
Horns on the head, hands and claws are full of sharp projections, and fangs protrude from the lips.
Overall, it seems like a person with a lot of sharp points, but it is also heterogeneous.
“Are they different colors?”
“After hearing the story, it feels like they are of different races.”
The outer skin color was different.
blue and white.
The blue devil had black eyes and mouth, and the white devil had red hair.
At first, I thought it was like that.
[Gael-NPC]
-Demons of the 4th Demon World
-Blue demons who absorbed the black demons
-The clan that lost in the integration war
[Forrhem-NPC]
-Demons in the 4th demon world
-White demons who absorbed the red demons and red demons
– Judging from the description of the clans that were defeated in the integration war,
there seed to be a reason.
I don’t know the details.
I glanced back.
How far did you co down? There are many crossroads.
A workhouse tangled like an anthill.
I don’t know how to get out after being beaten until I beco a piece of cake.
Since I have the authority, I might be able to find the way.
“Keeeeek!”
It’s not easy because of the gargoyles that howl and whip as if they’ve lost a screw.
If you kill him, Maglet will co right away.
how do you know A man working with us inford us.
Among the hunters who were dragged in, he was the most senior.
Did you say your na is Seonman Lee?
“Don’t even pay attention to that damn thing. My temper is dirty. You might get whipped for nothing. It feels worse than being sick.”
Only Lee Seon, who was wielding a pickaxe, muttered.
Nearly 30 people were digging in formation around him.
It included the two n Oh Ji-hyeok knocked out.
“If you do well, I’ll hit you.”
The eyes looking at us are not good.
The montum to run whenever the opportunity arises.
The one who hit was Oh Ji-hyeok, but why are you taking out your anger on ? to get scolded
“I’ve been here for 49 days as of today.”
“It’s been a while.”
He swung his sword and split the rock and received the words.
For so reason, Maglet did not steal the equipnt and weapons of those selected as slaves.
There were people who used pickaxes, but there were also quite a few people who used their own weapons.
It is unusual to see him breaking stones with a weapon while wearing armor and equipnt.
“There are only two ways to escape from this place. Team mbers either build a portal or die here. Those who remain here are those whose team mbers were annihilated.”
I nodded slightly.
If the team mber who was supposed to make the portal was killed, he would have no choice but to work until he died.
“For those who can afford coins, I recomnd just starving. That’s because it can die quickly. I’m holding on like this because I don’t have any more coins.”
Caang!
Hitting a particularly hard rock, he paused for a mont.
“There are ways to fight or kill yourself, but it’s going to be hard because those damned gargoyles are always watching. If there is a problem, the labor warden will co down right away.”
“Is there any other way? Like escaping or sothing like secretly creating a portal here.”
“Would those demons be here if they could have escaped?”
Only Lee Seon-man pointed at the demons with his chin.
Well, they must be ridiculously strong compared to us.
It doesn’t make sense even if sothing systemic is constrained.
“And you can’t make portals here. The slab you received when you first gave it is automatically transferred to another team mber when selected as a slave.”
Right. Before I was called here, I handed it over to Kim Seo-gyun so I didn’t know.
How is it?
Should I just wait? I don’t want to.
When I frowned for a while.
[gglett conducts the interview.]
[The slave called out, please follow the guidance of the gargoyle and co to the slave warden’s office.]
A ssage ca to mind.
interview?
What kind of dog barking is this?
Seeing my expression, only Lee Seon-man shrugged.
“It’s interview ti. Literally. It’s to call the laborers and talk to them. I’m asking if it’s worth it, what the outco is, and whether anyone is trying to escape.”
According to the ssage, the gargoyle, which had been whipping madly, moved with one person.
I watched it carefully.
There are seven gargoyles monitoring the workshop, including that guy.
At least that’s all the guys here.
I don’t know how it is in other places.
“Whoa. get so rest It’s hard to rest otherwise. Even the gargoyles are on the quiet side right now.”
“What if I decline the interview?”
“huh?”
Is it because it is an unexpected question? He narrows his brow and ponders.
The reason for asking this question is simple.
Why is Maglet interviewing? It sounds like you do it every day.
As Lee Seon-man said, to check the condition of the laborers and prepare for an unexpected escape?
Well, Maglet is the NPC in charge of the 39th floor. Just thinking about it, Fleta on the 35th floor, Hugo on the 19th floor, and Magneta on the 29th floor. It must have been an NPC of this level.
Even if you don’t have to go through the trouble of an interview, if a problem arises, you can cover it with your own abilities.
that it is
‘Even Maglet has systemic restrictions.’
wanting to have a conversation.
There is sothing I felt while eting NPCs.
Unsurprisingly, NPCs like to talk.
Because NPCs are not free and can only work within a given area.
Especially for those who are alone for long periods of ti.
Which one is the restriction? Or loneliness?
maybe it’s both
Let’s explore.
Only Lee Seon, who had been stroking his chin, opened his mouth.
“There was no such person? If it’s demons over there, I don’t know. As they belong to the Tower, they must know more than I do.”
“thank you.”
I got up from my seat.
Kim So-dam was lying on the floor, probably tired, while Oh Ji-hyeok was nervously turning the knife.
Seeing Lee Sang-ok beckoning in the air, it looks like he’s trying to build a community.
[Community is deactivated at the workhouse.]
[Shop windows are deactivated at the workhouse.]
It doesn’t seem like it.
Team mbers, let’s take a break.
The destination is demons perched on rocks with bloody expressions.
I’m chewing so unknown at, but it must be raw and not cooked.
“hello.”
“That’s it.”
I naturally sat down next to them and said hello.
Deokchun also waved his hand.
“Is this your lunch box? fresh. Let know if you want to share.”
“Wow?”
The demons also showed great interest.
It doesn’t seem like a good interest.
“Ahaha. Because he’s not eating. When it cos to food, there are other things.”
I took out the rations I had stored in the treasure bag.
Since the labyrinth, I have been carrying food, potions, other daily necessities, and consumption items.
It wasn’t much of a lunchbox, but the eyes of the demons flashed.
“Would you like to eat together?”
“Is that so?”
“Ugh! It would be rude to refuse this again!”
“Well then!”
The demons are afraid to hand out the lunch box and take it.
Like Kildereth, it seems that demons are not unconditionally evil.
Fleta is also an Elyos, but isn’t her personality a bitch?
Seeing the demons eating their lunch boxes as if they were hiding their eyes, it seed like it would be difficult to have a proper al here.
The at I was chewing on earlier seed to be a lizard crawling on the work yard.
Perhaps because the sll of food has spread, other laborers are also interested.
Let’s ignore that for a mont. Because they don’t have enough food to feed dozens of people.
It was right to secure so food now that the shop window was closed.
“Keep it off. It’s been a while since I’ve eaten properly.”
“How long has it been since you’ve eaten cooked at?”
“Damn gglett, give us only jjambab.”
Those who lick their lips and put down the lunch box.
One of them held out his hand.
“It’s called Gail. Tied to the damn workhouse and belonged to the Tower.”
A blue-skinned demon.
Whenever he speaks, the disparate black palate and tongue stand out.
I thought it would be rude if I felt awkward, so I held hands without showing it.
“Please call Evil Eye. This is Deokchun.”
“Evileye. It’s a monster that can be easily seen in the Demon Realm. It doesn’t suit you.”
I didn’t deny it.
“Have you been here long?”
“As you can see.”
he stretched out his hands.
Unlike other laborers, demons did not have proper equipnt.
Wearing clothes no different from rags, all he had was a pickaxe with a worn tip.
Dirt and stone crumbs remain in the hair.
Should I say that the treatnt itself is different from climbers?
“This is my first ti here, so there are many things I don’t know. I haven’t even gone to the interview yet. I have a question, but what if the interview is not held?”
“Ah interview. okay. yes.”
Gail quietly leans toward .
“There are people who have refused to be interviewed, can you see them over there?”
Gail points to one side.
A white devil like a piece of paper. His hair, which seed to be on fire, reached his waist, and three stakes the size of his forearms were driven into his back.
The skin and flesh opening and closing each ti I moved was painful.
“That friend refused the interview, and then that happened. I can’t even pull out a stake because I’m cursed. You can only pull out the Maglet. They said they took one out of every 10 interviews. There were 10 of them at first.”
okay. Do not avoid interviews.
I don’t want to get pegged in the back.
I figured it out though thanks. Maglett takes the interview very seriously.
“You son of a bitch, I will definitely kill you this ti. So, if you have a dagger you don’t use, would you give one?”
“Assassination?”
“It’s a day job. We try to kill him at every interview.”
“If you do, won’t you beco like that devil?”
I pointed to the staked devil.
Gail tilted her head and laughed out loud.
“Hahahahaha! what are you talking about There’s no way they’ll punish you for attempting an assassination! What a fun friend!”
Hmm. After all, demons aren’t sane either.
The mont I didn’t even know how to react.
“Kehehehehe.”
The Devil Gargoyle grabbed my shoulder.
I guess it’s my turn to interview.
