The main quest completed along with Bolibo’s agreement.

Han-bit who checked the contents spoke to him.

“You thought well. Then there’s no need to buy the cabin, so I’ll just use it.”

“That side would certainly be less complicated. But what are you trying to do there?”

Pointing to the cabin, Bolibo asked.

Because even thinking about it again, it was a building far too shabby to use.

“I’m not doing something, it’s just a space for the dwarves to live in. There are about 100 people right?”

“…You’re putting 100 people in there? No, more than that, you intend to make the dwarves live inside the city? Not just simple employment?”

“That’s about it. Ah, wait a moment.”

Han-bit who answered appropriately went down the pierced underground again.

‘It was that way right?’

Landing lightly, he moved his steps to the farthest corner.

A single wooden box placed there.

Lowering his posture, Han-bit put his hand in and started rummaging inside.

“That side is all junk. Things that don’t even sell.”

Bolibo who stuck his head down waved his hand and spoke.

“Did these all come from a foreign country?”

“You should see it as coming along by chance. Tiny merchant groups brought it as gifts you see.”

The business partners of defective luxury goods vary from other cities of the Republic to foreign countries.

Although the number of merchant groups wasn’t that high, there were quite a few people packing things fully saying they would establish connections.

‘Ah, found it.’

Han-bit who was rummaging through the items grabbed a glass bottle containing dark red granules.

Pulling it out, he threw a question.

“You patronize the black market too?”

“Ah, black market you say! What a ridiculous story!”

Bolibo denied with a vehement voice.

However, on his face, words like ‘I am ruined’ seemed to be embedded.

“Don’t worry. I will hide it while we are business partners.”

“No…….”

– Sh*t act. Lol

– Isn’t that an enhancer?

– Yeah seems to be what Vares used?

– Any dog or cow can use it;

– Side effects) Loses reasoning and dies.

Bolibo unable to continue his words while being flustered.

Because he was secretly sending items to the black market, it was natural to be surprised.

Because there’s no way evidence would be left since he definitely used foreign merchant groups.

“How… did you know that?”

“The thing in this glass bottle. It’s an enhancer circulating only in the black market.”

“An enhancer?”

Han-bit shook the glass bottle and spoke.

The physical enhancement drug that turned Vares into a monster.

Because it was an item made using monster carcasses, trading through normal routes was impossible.

“Furthermore, this glass bottle is more precious. Because it’s made in the Holy State.”

“The Holy State? Did you say the Holy State just now?”

At those three letters, Bolibo’s eyes grew as if they would pop out.

He waved his hand and started taking steps back.

“I, I don’t know anything! I didn’t intend to trade with the Holy State!”

“Who said you traded? I’m saying it’s a precious item rare to see in the black market.”

Han-bit, who had no thought of interrogating him, dismissed his worry.

Because even if he truly traded with the Holy State it had absolutely no meaning.

“Come out.”

Han-bit moved his feet and went outside the store.

Outside was now completely dark.

“Can you see this on the bottom?”

“What?”

Showing the bottom of the glass bottle, Bolibo who followed brought his face close.

On the bottom of the bottle, a pattern like a magic circle was faintly swaying.

“What is this? When checking the item, there was nothing like this.”

“It’s natural because they made it unrecognizable. Anyway, it’s an item you can’t get outside the Holy State. It’s at the level where discovering it in the black market is fascinating.”

“…Such an item existed?”

Artisan Astel of the Holy State.

The items made by him each possess peculiar traits.

And this glass bottle has a quite useful advantage of being able to preserve any item intactly.

“Wait, if it’s that extent, isn’t it a tremendously expensive item? I must sell it right now!”

“I told you it’s a Holy State item. It was lucky when bringing it in, but you get the death penalty if tail is stepped on even slightly.”

“That is…….”

At the word death penalty, Bolibo’s momentum died.

Because if caught in the act it’s inevitably the death penalty.

He who frowned for a moment asked with a depressed voice.

“Are you okay? Although I do not know the reason for receiving the gold bracelet, it will not become an indulgence.”

“I am fine. Because I have the merit of finding Holy State believers in Edlen. I just have to say I picked it up there.”

“You found believers? By any chance… are you that adventurer Black Dragon?”

Bolibo who grasped Edlen’s information early on.

He thought a great adventurer appeared, but he didn’t know he would be right in front of his eyes.

“Anyway, I’m going to use this, so just know that.”

“…If by chance you get caught, I wish you’d exclude my name.”

“We’re already accomplices, so what. Give up.”

“Haa……. How did it become like this…….”

Bolibo let out a deep sigh and spat out regret.

Of course, since it’s all exactly self-earned, there are no words to say to him.

Han-bit putting the glass bottle into the inventory turned his head to the city gate.

“Let’s go now.”

***

A little while later.

Han-bit who stepped outside the city gate moved to the dwarf village together with Bolibo.

“To think I’d get tangled with dwarves……. If the Mayor knows it will truly be an uproar.”

“With so much fear, how did you smuggle defective goods?”

“Isn’t that a result of planning and moving sufficiently! This kind of situation cannot be predicted!”

– Probably extreme J.

– Life is like P.

– Yeah, then you get ruined spontaneously.

– C-bal, are you T?

– That’s not how you use it;

Bolibo still appealing anxiety.

It’s not entirely a lie, because he’s a human who feels stable in plans and frameworks.

And Han-bit had the ability to give milestones looking into the future.

“You are here!”

At the village entrance, Avant-garde was waiting with sparkling eyes.

His gaze had already reached Bolibo.

“Jae-ha Hyung is watching the inside right?”

“Yes. Since I am more suited for vigilance we divided roles!”

The two people were using their strength fitting their respective roles.

It’s just thankful since they do it well on their own even without designating.

“More than that, could you tell us more about the inside story of that NPC? And what the hell was that earlier? A glass bottle made by an artisan of the Holy State……. How are you going to use that enhancer too?”

Questions pouring out as if he endured and endured.

Inside the village, the sight of Kim Jae-ha shaking his head could be seen.

“Do you carry around madmen too? You should be careful of such a human.”

Bolibo who saw Avant-garde’s manic appearance asked carefully.

Han-bit who nodded his head looked at the two and spoke.

“I’ll answer later, so you two please just chat. Since I will go inside.”

“Understood!”

“No, wait…….”

– Lolllllll

– Throwing Bolibo.

– Bang-ga bastard dies of happiness.

– Let’s hit him with TMI for 1 hour.

Leaving Bolibo’s scream behind, Han-bit headed to the empty house in the center of the village.

Under there, a freshly made underground space could be seen.

“Phew. Burned my soul for the first time in a while.”

“I didn’t even do it like this in the mine!”

“Got it, so please organize that side a bit!”

A group of dwarves seen inside.

They were fully flushed from expression to voice.

At the same time as struggling to live, because they felt a sense of cooperation in far too long a time.

“Using the body like this is fun again!”

What appeared following behind was Kudran.

He too was letting out short breaths as if he burned his body.

“How is it? Is it going well according to plan?”

Kim Jae-ha who had been together below came up and asked.

“It’s about like that. How was the atmosphere?”

“Not bad. They fought at first but gradually focused on the work.”

Kim Jae-ha prepared for any problems that might occur just in case, but the work went smoother than expected.

Han-bit looking inside confirmed that the necessary amount of preparation was finished.

“Did you look outside a bit?”

“Guarded together at first, but it was quiet. Doesn’t even show well anyway.”

The night in the dwarf village was so dark it could only be seen by depending on faint lamp light.

Even if there are monsters, distinguishing them would certainly be not easy.

“You said the people at Hyung’s company cleared the episode here right? How was it?”

“Saw it in a video, but the first wave was truly nothing much. The NPCs here take care of it well on their own.”

Just like the story that came out earlier, the first wave was simple.

Since it was a level that could be sufficiently resolved with just the city’s defense system and military power, and the resident adventurers’ strength.

Even if ordinary players tried hard, the influence was bound to be at a minimal level.

“Well, to cut to the conclusion, leaving it to end too well is the first problem. It got twisted from the moment the 1st wave was blocked safely.”

“…Then you’re saying we had to interfere or something? If we did that we probably couldn’t even set foot in the city.”

“If it’s too excessive, or you get caught interfering, it will become like that. That’s why we will use a special method.”

“A special method? What are you trying to…….”

Thud-!

Instantly, a sound that dug into the conversation.

The gazes of the two people touched beyond the dark forest outside the village.

At the edge of the lamp light Avant-garde shone while keeping watch, a wriggling shadow could be seen.

“Came right on time.”

Sssk-

Han-bit who glanced at the watch took out the glass bottle holding dark red granules from his embrace.

“…That enhancer, surely we aren’t eating it right?”

“No.”

Creak-

Han-bit who shook his head opened the lid.

And looking at the shadow in the forest, he spoke.

“Gonna use it on those monsters.”
