*Ebel’s <Book of Sealing>
[Rating]: Rare.
[Classification]: Item-Book.
[Description]: An item made by Alchemist Ybel 100 years ago, which seals the technology.
[Function]: Technology extraction.
There is too.
It was time to take Ebel’s Book of Sealing, pack high-grade equipment and a normal-grade item, and leave the portal.
Goooooong!
The engine works, the portal disappears and all entrances are closed.
I hurriedly turned around to see that one of Lee Soo-ho’s colleagues had touched the counterfeit Calseug’s sword.
In an instant, all items around him were crumbled, and the man’s hand holding the sword began to harden into stone.
I quickly cut the wrist of the man who was turning to stone.
Awesome!
“Ahh!”
A man’s scream in pain.
But to no avail.
Every part of the man’s body turned to stone and began to harden.
Embarrassed, Lee Soo-ho rushed in.
“Stand back, the moment you put your hand on it, Mr. Lee Suho will turn to stone.”
“Ha, but mayor, is there any other way?”
I shook my head. Only a high-ranking cleric can break the petrification curse on Calseug’s counterfeit.
“sorry.”
Thick tears fell from Lee Suho’s eyes.
“I’m sorry, company commander. Everyone is in danger because of my greed…”
After saying that, the man turned to stone.
shoot!
Water started pouring into the room.
“Did everyone pack their crystal balls?”
“Yes, Mr. Kang-jun.”
“I got it.”
Make sure you’ve got everything.
“That’s it.”
I touched the ring to open the portal and sent my comrades out of the portal.
“Leona-sama, go out too.”
“Yes, lord.”
Leona and I finally got out of the portal.
The submerged graves of the dead will soon be restored, but the penalty will increase the chance of triggering the trap.
‘It doesn’t matter.’
Because there hasn’t been a party attacking the tomb of the dead yet.
Just in case, I should put up a sign near the grave of the deceased. If you touch an item other than a crystal ball, you will die.
“sorry. Mayor.”
Suho Lee and his colleagues came to me and bowed their heads.
“no. I should have warned you more, but that’s my mistake. Don’t worry and take care of yourself.”
It was my fault for forgetting for a while that people’s greed has no end.
Suho Lee and his colleagues apologized to me several times before leaving.
“Jun Kang, can we talk together?”
“yes.”
He left Ha-jin in the care of the guardian and moved with Yoo Harin to the garden outside the city hall.
Less than a day had passed, and the garden was being cleaned by people hired by Aleo.
I looked at them through the eyes of wisdom as a matter of rite, and there was nothing special about them.
We sat on a bench in front of the fountain.
“Jun Kang, what do you think about Ha Jin doing business?”
Yoo Harin’s expression darkened slightly as she looked at me.
“Why are you asking that all of a sudden?”
“Hajini is clamoring to do business in the tower. In my mind, I only want to leave it in the shelter, but it must be my greed, right?”
I couldn’t say anything to Yuharin’s question.
As an older sister, it is natural to want to protect Ha Jin, an elementary school student, but as she goes through the apocalypse, she will fall unintentionally.
When such a situation occurs, Ha-jin has to protect herself.
I cautiously opened my mouth.
“Trust Hajin and leave it to me. There is no place as safe as the first floor of the tower.”
The only dangerous thing was the hidden scenario.
“It is, but. Can Hajini deal with adults? I’m worried that I might be harmed.”
It is a problem that can be solved if there is a guardian of a rare grade or higher, but the mental part must be overcome by Hajini himself.
It’s harsh at a young age, but it must be inevitable to live in a changed world. It’s because we can’t protect Ha-jin by his side for a thousand years.
In the end, in terms of gains and losses, I think it was right that Ha Jin was in business.
“I’ll assign Elena-sama for now. Then you won’t be harmed.”
“Yes, if you do, I will take care of the rest.”
The shadowy face of Yu Harin seems to have brightened a little.
“is it so. then. From now on, I’ll stick Ilena-sama next to Hajin.”
“thank you. Mr. Kang Joon.”
“What.”
After the story, we moved back to the square of the fort.
“Ilena-nim, please move with Ha-jini until I say otherwise.”
“Yes, Master.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ha Jin clung to Ilena.
“Brother, the best!”
Ha Jin gives me a thumbs up again.
‘The little thing is already cracked.’
“How much time do you have left to use the tower, Harin?”
“Five minutes left and two more invitations.”
“Then let’s go together. Harin.”
“Yes, Mr. Kang-jun.”
Use the ring to go to the waypoint next to the Gray Goblin Village.
I took out 20 essences and handed them to Ha Jin.
“Wow, hyung, what is this?”
“What is it, it’s a business fund.”
Even if you can’t, you’ll get more than 60 coins each. Because the purchase price of the general store is 50 coins.
“Brother, the best!”
The guy who was clinging to Ilena hugged me.
‘As expected, integers are the best.’
I opened my mouth while stroking Hajin’s hair.
“Then, Ilena-nim and Ha-jin go to the village, and the rest follow me.”
At my words, Ha-rin Yu looked at Ha-jin with a worried face, but he clung to Ilena, waved his hand, and disappeared through the portal.
“Ha~, that bastard is really…”
Next to Yuharin, who was frowning, Khalk smiled and opened his mouth.
“Cancer, since ancient times, alcohol and women are the best for men.”
“Kalk-sama!”
When Yuharin’s fierce eyes turned to Khalk, the embarrassed Khalk sent me a look of salvation.
Why did you say such a thing?
“Come on, everyone, hurry up as we don’t have time.”
The destination was the gray goblin village mine, in order to wrap the soon-to-be-created ‘Hope’ -> Sema Station Fortress underground passage there with can stones.
The reason you need the stone is to keep the passage safe from zombies that will reappear after a while.
‘Because they can’t pierce stones.’
In addition, to create an underground dungeon for non-combat awakeners, a huge number of stones would be needed.
Perhaps for the time being, the construction team will have to put in only this.
‘The workers are too short.’
That said, you can’t have just anyone enter the shelter and make it work. The moment the guardian stone is broken, the shelter will be destroyed.
So, I plan to fill the core area with summoned beasts and dimensional refugees and receive people from the second area.
‘I’ll have to make a homunculus soon.’
The materials needed to craft the homunculus can also be obtained on the 2nd floor of the tower.
The problem is the acquisition of skills, but you will probably learn them before level 16 at the latest.
There is a high probability that a description will appear in units of 4 levels, and if you hand over the reward, it will probably come out 100%. However, the technical level is a problem.
I can’t give up and learn how to make a normal grade homunculus when a hero grade item is available.
I thought about this and that, and at some point I had already arrived at my destination.
“Kalk-sama digs mainly with stones, and Leona-nim, please protect Khalk-sama.”
“All right. Lord.”
I took out the backpack containing the food and the dimensional pickaxe I had prepared in advance from my inventory and handed it to Khalk.
“As expected, Master knows how to manipulate people.”
Looking at the beer in the bag, Khalk smiled happily.
Khalk and Leona entered the cave, and after that, I moved to the plaza to sell the items obtained after hunting with Yuharin for 50 minutes.
“Selling all kinds of essence!”
Seeing Ha Jin shouting in the square, we decided to watch for a while.
“Sell the essence cheaply!”
As if it was difficult to keep shouting, Ha-jin pulled on Ilena’s pants.
“Tell me too, sister. Then you can sell it right away!”
As the gazes of the men around him turned to Ilena, Hajini said.
‘A clever fellow.’
“I sell the essence of ability.”
Sure enough, one of the men who had been watching approached.
“How are you?”
When the man asked Ilena, Hajini, who was next to him, said.
“80 coins!”
“Isn’t that too expensive, kid?”
As the man waved his hand and tried to leave, Ha-jin grabbed hold of him and said,
“You know that when you hit 10 HP, you get elemental resistance, right?”
“uh? uh, you know.”
Seeing as Hajin was taken aback by the question, the man seemed to know that the essence of stamina was expensive in the beginning.
“Aside from the stamina essence, everything else is cheap. Shall I give you that?”
“No. Just give me the essence of your health. Do you have five?”
“yes.”
The man left and after a while another man came.
“What is the essence of agility?”
“80 coins.”
“Why is it so expensive?”
“Because it doesn’t fit. The others are 70 coins each. Can I get you another one?”
look at that guy
“no. just give it The young guy is good at business. Where did you learn it?”
“To my sister.”
My gaze turned to Yuharin.
“ah···. That’s why there is a saying that you can’t even drink cold water in front of kids.”
Watching Ha-jin do business, Yu Harin clicked her tongue and shook her head.
“It’s nice to be smart, what?”
After selling the acquired items, excluding the guardians, and moving to the shelter, a message popped up in front of me as I did the necessary research and stuff.
[The break has ended.]
[Zombie speed increases by 10%.]
[Increases the infectivity of zombies by 5%.]
[The zombie’s intelligence is restored by 5%.]
[Zombie appearance locations are added.]
[The zombie evolves.]
[Drop items are changed.]
[Zombie cards are deleted and food cards are added.]
Zombie evolution refers to the evolution of a guy who kills a certain number of people into an alpha zombie.
A zombie’s intelligence is up to 50%, and when it reaches the maximum, it will have the intelligence of an 8-year-old.
“Jun Kang, it’s time to start again.”
Yuharin’s expression became quite serious.
“yes. Now I have to move slowly.”
I asked Harin Yu to scout and went down to the plaza.
“Raoul, how long will it take to complete the underground passage?”
“I think it will be over by tomorrow at the latest. Seo Kang-joon!”
“First of all, stop and stand guard with Harin.”
“I get it. Seo Kang-joon!”
Even if you complete the passage anyway, you can’t use it without stones.
I summoned an earthen wall to block the space leading to the tunnel below.
“Expand your territory to this point so zombies can’t come in.”
For the time being, I need to raise my level as quickly as possible with my colleagues.
The second wave boss is an animal-type zombie, level 15 or higher.
It’s hard to deal with at my level right now. Of course, if you turn black into a queen and deal with it, it’s worth dealing with, but that’s the last move.
I dismantled the high-end item to get the crystal, then took Black to the acidic parking lot and called in Arachne’s information.
Arachne Lv 10.
[Rating]: Rare
[Classification]: Queen Zombie-Spider

-Scratch (Advanced), Poison Injection (Advanced)
[Racial Skill]: Laying Eggs

Again, an incredible ability. If only the queen could be used, it would be much easier to overcome the apocalypse, but the enemy’s buff is too powerful.
I took out the Book of Sealing from my inventory.
It would be nice if the Queen’s skill could be erased with one shot of each seal, but if there are multiple abilities endowed with one skill, such as a unique skill, only one feature will be deleted.
In order to use Arachne at any time, at least 4 Books of Sealing were required.
I asked Raul just in case, and as a result, the cost to dismantle the Book of Seals was 100,000 coins, and the cost to make it was 50,000 coins.
I don’t know if the coin overflows. It was too expensive to spend in the current situation where it is scarce.
I gave up because it was better to obtain it by using the option to select a rare grade item obtained from the tower attack and wave reward.
You’ll probably get 3 more Books of Seal by the end of the fourth wave at the latest.
I transformed black into a queen and used the Book of Sealing.
[Performance deletion has been completed.]
Confirm that the zombie speed increase has been removed. He transformed Black into Lim Ji-tae.
Writing the Book of Sealing to Arachne meant that Black would not be fed another boss.
The subsequent bosses were good, but not as good as Arachne, who can spawn 10 alpha zombies a day.
Besides, the born zombies are also my family, so I can strengthen them.
Of course, if black releases the transformation, he loses control, but if he is locked up, that’s it.
“Hey, ask me to hunt around.”
I handed a backpack to Black and said.
“All right. Leader.”
After Black left, I tied Leona and Ilena together and sent them to the west of Doksan Fortress, and I also hunted and returned to the shelter around sunset.
“Mr. Kang Joon.”
As soon as I arrived at the shelter, Harin Yu’s expression was very bad.
“What’s going on?”
“that is. It seems that there is a fortress of villains in Seodongtan Station.”
