become a centurion (2)

said Heros.

『Kang Junyoung is the one who made a contract with me, Endale. As you know, a commander can only make a pact with one of the myriad ancient lore.”

“I know. A lowly being dared not know the Great and committed rudeness.”

"I'm glad you know that I've been rude. Now then, offer me the knowledge and memories of this land that you have accumulated, and let me sleep.”

“That can’t be...”

As if quite embarrassed, Endale's halo shook violently.

“Are you daring to resist me?”

“It’s not that, can’t you please let me go like this?”

“There is something I want to hide from you now.”

All of a sudden, Heros' glow changed into a giant mouth.

“Hey, hey……….”

Seeing it, the halo of Endale hurriedly tried to run away somewhere.

Heros' huge mouth swallowed Endale.

"Please stop...!"

Endale screamed.

Then Herod called out coldly.

“I don’t know what you are avoiding me to hide, but now reveal everything you know before me.”

Resistance was pointless.

The small halo that had been fluctuating precariously was absorbed into Heroes' huge halo and became a part of it.

Whoa, whoa-!

Oh My God!

Seeing that scene, Junyoung's eyes widened.

‘Did you eat it?’

I thought I didn't see it well.

But it's real.

It seems that even those who exist in the form of light can eat each other and be eaten.

‘Anyway, this guy’s world is real.’

How many of these bizarre beings are there?

Anyway, the glow of Heroes who ate Endale became even more intense than before.

and soon afterwards.

A notification sounded in Junyoung's ears.

[Ancient Knowledge Heroes has absorbed all knowledge and memories of the Ancient Knowledge Endale.]

[You have completely captured the Tower of Knowledge.]

[This estate belongs to you.]

“Did this happen?”

As Junyoung's eyes widened, Heros's halo grinned.

『It may seem a bit bizarre to you, but I just absorbed the knowledge and memories of this land that Endale had, I didn't actually eat it. It will take some time for me to figure it out on my own, and I have no way of knowing what happened.”

“Can you tell what happened in the past?”

"Of course. Even if you don't tell me what happened, you absorb Endale's memories and know everything. For example, the fact that you were in a lot of trouble because of the monster (★) Gortan.”

“It’s convenient. So, do you know how to tame Gortan?”

“The obedient beast species is quite rare. If you can tame Gortan, your estate will have a fairly strong defense. But at least your level 10 is something you can try. It is urgent to raise the level first.”

“It’s nice to hear that.”

I was hoping for it, but it's really possible.

If you are level 10, there are only 4 steps left.

If you kill the hobgoblin Sangcheol Kwak, the slime Karuo Takahashi, and the elves, wouldn't it be roughly level 10?

“Anyway, you must be feeling it right now. How lucky you are to have met Heroes, the strongest knowledge of ancient times.”

A group of mouth-shaped lights smiles triumphantly.

it's a disease anyway party!

Even if you want to give a compliment, if you are self-congratulating yourself that much, those words will fit easily.

“How else did you get here?”

“Don’t worry, I’m also in the tower over there.”

“Do you have an alter ego?”

“It’s a real body, not an alter ego.”

“Then you mean there are two bodies?”

"It is true. For each tower of knowledge you have occupied, my body is created as a manager.”

“Of course, the managers in each tower are also one connected to each other. So in any tower, you can talk to the same me.”

“Something complicated.”

“Don’t try to understand. Because this is an extremely difficult part that cannot be known unless you have ancient knowledge like me.”Even if you don't say that, I will anyway.

Most of the phenomena in this world are difficult to understand with Junyoung's common sense.

“And you, the commander, can dismiss me from my supervisor at any time.”

“In that case, I will fall asleep again, and there is no possibility that you and I will meet again.”

“Of course, I believe that I will not do such a foolish thing. Because, as I just saw, there is no one who surpasses me in any ancient knowledge. If you put it in easy-to-understand terms, you can think of me as a being similar to the supreme predator of ancient knowledge.”

“A top predator?”

“It’s a bit like comparing it to eating, but I think it will make sense to some extent even with your simple head. Anyway, I'm sure this was helpful in realizing my greatness."

after! Are you drowsy again?

‘Self-Congratulations!’

All the words of Heros end up in the end.

'It seems like he's a good guy.'

Seeing that the ancient knowledge of Endale called himself lowly to Heros.

“But what about the elves?”

Junyoung specifically asked about the status of the tower of knowledge that Na Ji-yeon and others are guarding.

“Kim Dong-hyuk, Na Na-yeon, Tatiana, and Park Seung-woo are blocking the elves’ attacks relatively smoothly. Their abilities and senses were better than I expected. Of course, thanks to my excellent leadership skills.”

“Didn’t the orcs’ reinforcements come?”

“I came here, but it’s not very helpful because I’m acting so stupid.”

That the elves lured the orcs and sent them to the wrong place.

“They said that the orcs had a bit of a lower intelligence, so it must be true.”

Junyoung sighed.

“Anyway, I have to go there now.”

“You don’t have to go out of the tower to get there. Since ancient times, towers of knowledge have been interconnected.”

“A connection?”

『If you occupy two or more towers, it means that you can create a space movement portal between each tower.』

Suddenly, in the center of the 5th floor, a mysterious blue magic circle appears and sparkles.

The space-moving portal you've only heard of!

If you go up there, you will be moved to another tower of knowledge.

‘Is this great?’

It's definitely worth taking over the Tower of Knowledge.

A notification you hear when you move directly in front of the magic circle.

[Currently available locations are as follows.]

[The 1st Tower of Knowledge]

“What is the first tower of knowledge?”

“This is a name given for convenience. I plan to give names to the Tower of Knowledge that you occupy first, the second is the second, and so on, but if you want to change the name, you can do it anytime.”

“Then let’s write it as it is.”

You will occupy quite a lot of towers of knowledge in the future.

It is very cumbersome to name each one individually.

It's easier to just do it with numbers.

[Please select a destination.]

“Tower of First Knowledge.”

[The portal to the 1st Tower of Knowledge has been opened.]

In an instant, a large blue gate appeared above the magic circle.

It is the same portal that you see only in fantasy movies.

“Can you wake them up?”

Junyoung pointed to Kim Jin-hyuk and others who were in forced sleep.

"Of course."

When Heros flashed a flash of light, Kim Jin-hyuk and others woke up.

“Ah, here?”

“Are you okay, President?”

Kim Jin-hyuk and others jumped up and shouted.

“It’s okay. Now we will move to the First Tower of Knowledge.”

Junyoung briefly explained the situation.

And just as I was about to enter the portal.

"for a moment! Come to think of it, you have more urgent work than going to the First Tower of Knowledge.”

“I think it would be better to deal with the elves first?”

『As I said before, the Tower of First Knowledge is not in a very precarious state right now. In particular, if Kim Jin-hyuk and Kim Jin-seok join forces, it can be said that the allies have an advantage.”

A combination of powerful tanks and dealers!

If the twin brothers hold out with their strong defense in front, Kim Dong-hyuk and others can very safely launch a magic attack from the back and destroy the enemies.

It's a pity that there is no healer, but the potion is still relatively stable.

Immediately, Junyoung made Kim Jin-hyuk and others move to the 1st Tower of Knowledge through the portal.

Then he turned to Heros.

“Then what is more urgent for me?”

“I felt that Endale was trying to hide something from me, but after absorbing his knowledge and memory, I found out why.”

『Unusually, what it was was also erased from Endale's memory. But who am I? Based on his other memories and various knowledge of this manor, I deduced what it was. won't you praise me? This is my greatness.”

Are you starting again?

Junyoung sighed.

“So the conclusion?”

『In the territory, there is a cave guarded by a monster called Gortan. That’s also where he originally lived.”

“Are you saying you want to go to that cave?”

“That’s all I can tell you. I've consumed too much of my intellect, so I'll have to take a break..."

At the end of those words, the figure of Heros disappeared from view.

Even Heros, in the form of light, feels tired, but it seems.

“Andy, let’s go!”

“Nyaan!”

***

It seemed that Andrew knew the location of the cave where the monster species (★) Gortan was located.

Because he was running in front of me as if he was telling me to follow him.

“Wait, wait.

“Nyaan?”

Andy stopped and looked at Junyoung.

“Once you get to the cave, you lure Gortan out of the cave as far as you can. And hang out with him for a while. Can you do it?”

What only Andy can do in the world.

On the other hand, I'm worried about Gortan because he's such a bad guy.

“Nyaan!”

And, as if not to worry, raised her tail straight up and answered bravely.

okay. He's also a teenager.

“Eon!”

However, he suddenly gathered his two feet together and looked at Junyoung.

“Eon!”

A broad face with gray hair.

A pinkish tongue comes out of his mouth and licks his nose.

It's kind of a pitiful look.

'this!'

After all, it looks like I'm hungry.

It's been awhile since I've been fed.

It was too.

Were you starving while giving this cute cat a huge mission?

I mean, I'm talking about feeding cows as well.

gurgling-

This sound is from Junyoung's stomach.

Come to think of it, it's been a while since Junyoung ate something.

It was because monsters were coming from all sides, so I didn't have the spirit to do that.

No matter how much you level up, your fighting power becomes stronger, but if hunger continues, your stamina will inevitably drop.

‘I can be a little more patient.’

You can't starve until Andrew.

Luckily, Andrew found a snack stick he found at a convenience store and put it in his backpack.

A barrel containing dozens of stick-type snacks.

"Sorry. Let's have a snack first."

Junyoung pulled out two stick-type snacks from the bin and tore the ends off.

And then came closer and put his feet together, his eyes twinkling.

“Come on, eat.”

“Nyaan~!”

Chop Chop Chop Chop Chop Chop Chop Chop Chop Chop Chop Chop Chop Chop.

I've seen it last time, but it's really cute to see Andrew licking his tongue and licking snacks.

“Nyan!”

After eating two snacks, he seems to have gained strength, and Andrew's cries are quite loud.

"great! Now guide me.”

“Nyan!”And ran up the hillside of the lush forest, then down the other side.

‘The estate is quite wide.’

Although I already knew it from the maps Heros showed me.

It is twice the size of the territory where the 1st Tower of Knowledge is located.

“Wow!”

Then a huge roar rang out in front of them.

An upright monster with a hippo head and a muscular human body!

It was Gortan.

It sensed something approaching from afar and let out a vigilant roar.

And behind him stood the entrance to the dark cave.

‘Seems to be the cave that Heroes spoke of over there.’

In the meantime, Andy sped up her speed and ran towards Gortan.

“Meow!”

Then, Gortan's eyes quickly changed to simple.

It's a welcoming expression, like a friend.

“Nyaan!”

“Curl Curl!”

He even made a strange squeak and laughed.

Then he disappeared into the woods with Andrew.

'great! Now.’

Junyoung quickly entered the cave.

In a normal monster's cave, the bones of the prey it ate would be piled up.

Bad smell, bloody smell. A gloomy atmosphere...

He thought he would and was prepared in mind.

'what? It's very clean.'

There were no signs of eating anything.

Only fresh fruits and vegetables just picked from the forest are neatly stacked on one side.

[Flesh of raw fruit]

-Status: The skin of the gut fruit has just been peeled off. Unlike the hard skin, the flesh is juicy, chewy, and sweet.

-【Edible】 It satisfies hunger and thirst.

[Drust Forest Peach]

-Condition: Freshly picked peaches. The crunchy taste is very good.

-【Edible】 It satisfies hunger.

Since the level of quests has risen, this has only caught my eye.

They all look delicious.

gurgling-

Suddenly the boat shakes.

‘I said it’s okay to eat, so should I eat it?’

Anyway, it's the food of the monster Gortan.

Crispy! 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

However, Junyoung was chewing the peaches in his mouth before he knew it.

Next, the raw fruit flesh.

The taste is amazing.

‘By the way, is he only vegetarian?’

It's unexpected.

Even if the head looked like a hippo, I didn't know it would.

Besides, what else is this perfectly organized state?

Contrary to his appearance, he seems to have a pretty neat personality.

‘What else are you looking for here?’

Junyoung looked around the cave and burst into laughter.

If it had been so easy to spot, Endale wouldn't have tried to hide it.

'research!'

In an instant, the light of exploration bloomed inside the wall.

[This is a searchable target.]

[Want to spend mana to explore?]

"Yes."

[Search was successful.]

[You have discovered a hidden rift in darkness.]

Along with him, a dark red light grotesque door appeared.
