‘How?’
How could Pavian be here?
‘And why?’
Why on earth did he come here? Watching Looking at Pavian running towards him, Soo Hyuk felt a bit embarrassed .
“Did you get hurt?”
As soon as he arrived, Pavian started to inspect Soo Hyuk’s body . After taking a look at him, Pavian stood straight and let out a sigh of relief .
“Fortunately, I don’t see any injuries . ”
Saying that, Pavian let out a smile .
“How did you get here?”
Looking at the man in front of him, Soo Hyuk asked . He was wondering why he was here and what his purpose was . what his purpose was to be here .
“Oh, it’s because . ”
Pavian opened his mouth to answer the question .
***
Inside Kale’s room in the tower situated near the dock .
“…Uunderground waterways?”
Kale, who was reading the report, narrowed his eyes .
“Well, that’s strange . ”
Kale shook his head and let out a laugh .
“Hadrac is a big city…”
Hadrac, a big city, mostly known for mercenaries . The report was about detailed with the reports on how Chimeras were creating havoc in the Hadrac’s underground waterways .
“This is supposed to be a sample . ”
Reading the report, Kale turned to his left, towards his left and focusingsed on the transparent bottles near him .
Each contained various different samples, including the skin of the chimera .
Squirm!
Kale began to examine the samples .
“Oh ho . ”
Kale, who was checking the samples, couldn’t help but express his admiration .
“It’s powerful . ”
While examining, he found a bit of poison remaining onwas left from the sample . The poison left by the species was admirably powerful to the extent that Kale, the head of the Tower of Poison let out a praise .
“I think I’ll have to check it out myself . ”
Though a request for assistance did come from Hadrac . They hadn’t thought much about it, however,But with this level of poison, he felt like he needed to step up .
It was just then .
Knock! Knock!
“Sire, this is Reinkar . ”
It was Reinkar, a first-class mage, who came looking for the master of the tower .
“Come in . ”
Upon the command, Reinkar entered the room . His face was full of urgency . Looking at his empty hands meant that he had rushed down to report something .
“What’s going on?”
Kale asked .
“That’s…”
Reinkar stuttered immediately blurted out at the sudden question . He had to organize his thoughts before he could report, sensibly . It was not the time for him to get lost in his thoughts, so Reinker pulled himself together thenand said .
“Soo Hyuk as of now is in the Underground Waterways . ”
“…So?”
Listening to the verbal report, Kale narrowed his eyes .
“Soo Hyuk?”
“Yes . ”
“Do you mean that underground waterways where the chimeras are creating havoc?”
“Yes, sir . Rhino, the Branch Manager in Hadrac, reported so . ”
As the report said, Soo Hyuk right now must be inat the underground waterways ofin Hadrac . Rhino did suggest he take their help, but he firmly refused . So, with no other option, Rhino returned back to the branch…
By the end of his report, Reinker finally looked at Kale .
“…I understand . Go out . ”
Kale, who was deep in thought,dismissed him once he finished the report after the report dismissed him . SAnd so, with a bow, Reinkar left the room .
“So, you are in the underground waterways…”
Lowering his head, he looked at the samples . The samples consisted of the very powerful poison from the chimeras based in the underground waterways .
“Okay . ”
Kale, who was once busy while fascinatingly observinglooking at the samples, got up from his seat at once . Leaving his room, Kale headed towards Pavian’s chambersroom .
Knock! Knock!
“Spiremaster! It’sThis is Kale!”
When he reached the destination, Kale started to shout while knocking .
“Enter . ”
Hearing the loud ruckus outside, Pavian let Kale enter the room; upon . And hearing the words, Kale right away entered the room right away .
“What’s going on?”
Pavian, who was concocting various poison inside, stopped as soon as he saw Kale had entered the room .
“We’ve got a problem . ”
Answering Pavian’s question, Kale went straight to the point .
“Problem?”
“Yes, it’s about Soo Hyuk . ”
“What’s the situation?”
“Soo Hyuk is in the underground waterways in Hadrac . ”
“Underground waterways? Why is that a problem? Oh, the chimeras?”
Pavian askedsaid, knowing the situation in Hadrac .
“Yes, and here’s the sample of those chimeras . ”
Kale handed the sample to Pavian . Checking the sample, Pavian’s face was hardened .
“If you look at the poison remaininged in the sample–”
Looking at Pavian’s stiff expression, Kale opened his mouth .
“Wait . ”
But he was cut off by Pavian .
“This poison here, are you sure it’s from the chimeras of the underground waterways?”
Pavian continued .
“…Yyeah . ”
Kale nodded, suspicion filled in his voice .
“That’s a very big deal . ”
Pavian answered Kale’s uncertain nod .
“Ramos, that little rat . This poison . ”
“Huh? Ramos?”
Kale was surprised with the name that came out of Pavian’s mouth .
“Yes, this poison is definitely his creation . Obviously, this poison is to kill me . A bit enhanced but I am sure, it’s his . ”
How can he forget this poison? Though the sampled one is a bit stronger, it evidently belonged to Ramos .
“Did you say Hadrac’s Underground Waterways?”
PFavbian asked .
“Yes, are you thinking of going there?”
Kale answered him back with another question .
“Yes, because I have no clue what Ramos is up too . Soo Hyuk might be in danger . ”
They didn’tdon’t know what Ramos could do . Saying that Pavian left his chambersroom, heading straight towards Hadrac .
Upon arriving in HadracWhen they arrived at Hadrac, Pavian wasted no time and headed towards the branch tower .
“Who are you?”
The mage, who was in charge of the entrance, asked .
Pavian took out his token from his sleeves, and showed the mage, providing the proof needed to enter the tower .
“Haa!”
Inspecting the token, the mage was so shocked he jumped out of his seat .
“O-Oh my god, I am meeting the Spiremaster himself . ”
He was shockedso surprised, onlyhe somehow stammeringed out a few words . Soon, anxiety dawned upon the mage .
In fact, even if it was someone else in his shoes, they would have felt the same . Without any notice, the big boss himself came to the branch office, it was natural to be worried .
Not knowing their Spiremaster’s face, wasn’t the young mage’s fault . Not many in the tower knew the face of their Master .
So, it was quite natural for him, as a mage of athe branch tower, not to recognize the face .
“Can you take me to the branch manager?”
Pavian didn’t mind such treatment either . But right now, he had a much more important matter to attend .
“Yes! I’ll take you now do so . ”
The mage shuffled into the toweron his own feet and, quickly leadingled them towards the branch manager’s office . But, soon his guidance was cut short .
Tadak!
It was because Rhino ran over .
The young mage, who suddenly was relieved of the great pressure of leading Pavian, bid his farewells, and returned to his post at the entrance . The young mage, who suddenly had such pressure on him, that was to guide Pavian, greeted his farewell and returned back to his post at the entrance .
“Welcome Spiremaster . ”
Rhino bowed as soon as he arrived in front of Pavian .
“Long time no see . ”
Pavian answered Rhino’s greeting .
“Ever since that day, today must be the first time . ”
In such words, Rhino was dumbfounded .
“I have a thing to ask . ”
HearingSeeing the silence coming from the other side, Pavian, took out the sample that contained the chimera’s poisons and asked .
“Take a look if it’s Ramos’ poison . ”
Rhino was surprised .
“Perhaps…”
Pavian continued to stare at Rhino, being scared Rhino quickly opened his mouth to clarify .
“No, never!”
“Okay . ”
Pavian smiled at Rhino’s answer . Even though the smile was calm and warm, it contained no apology for doubting him . Though Rhino was angered by such behavior and lack of apology, his position didn’t allow him to lash out at Pavian . A smile even if it was calm and warm, it contained no sorriness for doubting him . Though Rhino was angry at such behaviour and with no apology, his position didn’t allow him to lash out at Pavian .
But he couldn’t do anything, though it was not intentional, the crime he committed couldn’tcannot be washed away .
“I need to get to the underground waterway . You’ll have to guide us . ”
“…I understand . ”
***
“That’s what happened and so, here I am . ”
Pavian’s endless explanation finished was over .
“Oh…”
After hearing the entire storyall the stories, Soo Hyuk let out a sigh .
“Then Ramos, that man…”
Just as Soo Hyukbegan speaking was about to speak, his questionwords waswere cut off by PFavbian .
“He is not a man . ”
Thinking that Ramos didn’t deserve any respect to be called by his name . It was better to name him ‘the man’ .
“Ok, so where were we . Yes, so the reason you are here is because of the man who tried to kill the Spiremaster thenand ran away after failing his failed attempt, came here to do his experiments? . ”
Soo Hyuk who carefully placed his words this time, called out to Pavian .
“Pavian . ”
“Oh, yes, right . But that’s the second reason! The first reason being you!”
PFavbian replied with a nod .
“But I was worried for nothing . You’ve already destroyed three circles . ”
Now, Pavian went on about how it was unnecessary to worry about Soo Hyuk for his part . Soo Hyuk was much stronger than he expected and Ramos’ preparation was weaker than his expectation .
Everything would have been fine, even if he didn’t come for help, Pavian thought .
‘What the hell are you up to? Chimera Summoning Magic Circle . Were you trying to do a massacre?’
Though, he wasn’t required here . Pavian can’t say the journey wasn’t fruitful, he got a lot of information abouton the magic circles before destroying them .
“Spiremaster!”
It was Soo Hyuk who called him .
“Huh?”
Pavian, who was momentarily lost in his thoughts, answered Soo Hyuk’s call .
“Can you leave the remaining Magic Circle to me?”
The reason why Soo Hyuk called Pavian was to destroy the remaining magic circle on his own .
‘I can’t let you have it . ’
To be exact, the one who destroyed the place becomes the new owner . So, it didn’t matter if Pavian is the one who destroys it .
‘But I need to level up my experience . ’
Though the magic circles didn’t matter . The chimeras did, . aAnd the main reason why he couldn’tthey can’t give up on the chimeras was all because of the experience .
“Huh? The Magic Circle?”
“Yes, I’m trying to gain some experience by killing the chimeras . ”
“Oh, if that’s the case . I don’t think it would be that dangerous . ”
PFavbian nodded, understanding what he meant . Upon hearing Pavian’s reply, Soo Hyuk, who was worried about beingPavian’s refusedal, was relieved .
“Then I’ll head back to the branch . When it’s over, stop by the branch!”
Pavian commentedsaid that before heading out .
“Yes . ”
Soo Hyuk knew he couldn’t say no, so histhe answer was already set . Hearing his answer, Pavian with his small team disappeared from their sight .
As soon as Pavian’s disappearance, Soo Hyuk turned back to the Koma Guild who was silently staring at him .
Perhaps, they were still in shock seeing how Pavian vanished into thin air .
In Pangaea, there are a few particularly famous places . Filled with famous NPCs that were famous among the other NPCs, the tower belonged to that particular categoryplace . And with Pavian, being one of the most famous NPCs out there . It was also natural for them to be puzzled, suddenly an infamous NPC appeared in front of them .
Soo Hyuk smiled at the four pairs of eyes staring at him and said .
“Let’s go . ”
