Episode 53. I believe it!

I sent Lemon and the children to the inn, and I found the adventurer’s guild alone.

The VIP reception room on the 3rd floor.

Waiting for me there was Angelic Slime Guild Master Everett Lowell.

“Welcome. Please sit down.”

“Ah, yes…”

He was using the adventurer’s guild building as if it were his own home.

That must mean that Everett Lowell, or the guild called Angelic Slime, has a close relationship with the adventurers’ guilds spread across the continent.

‘Are you sure you entered the Abyss?’

There are only two Abyss entry guilds.

One of them is Angelic Slime.

In general, it is common for the name of the party or the name of the party leader to be mentioned.

But the name of the guild is being discussed?

That means that several parties belonging to that guild entered the Abyss.

Since I couldn’t even pass the 1st entrance quest, I couldn’t help but feel very great.

“Thanks again. Thank you very much for responding to my request during your busy schedule.”

“Oh, no. The business is over now… More than anything else, I should thank you for purchasing the food at a good price.”

He is a very polite person.

It is said that she is not underage, but unlike a Westerner, she has a great youthful appearance.

What is high school, even a middle school student would believe.

Treating me so respectfully with such a young appearance makes me feel like I’m in front of some kind of aristocratic boy.

Even the clothes I’m wearing right now are similar.

Anyone who sees you will know that you are going to some kind of piano competition.

‘It’s because he’s rich… I’m not treated like a bandit when I’m next to him?’

While I was thinking about something else in my mind, someone who I don’t know whether it was his subordinate or a member of the guild served me refreshments.

It was coffee and macaroons.

“It’s embarrassing to serve it in front of the chef, but I asked for an empty table because it doesn’t seem polite.”

“Ah, yes… Thank you.”

Because he is so polite, his neck is getting stiff.

‘It’s uncomfortable…’

Coffee and macaron are rare cash dishes.

Coffee increases SPR by 10 and mana regeneration, while macaron increases stamina by 20 and recovery.

Even if it’s not a legendary cash dish, it seems like he has a lot of money as he willingly puts out a cash item that would cost hundreds of gold at today’s market price.

“Well, I’m going to do my business soon…”

“Ah, yes. You’re busy, but I didn’t notice.”

“hahahaha, it’s not like that. I’m impatient, so…”

He looked at me and smiled lightly.

“Do you know about our guild?”

“I heard a rumor. You entered the Abyss.”

“That was recently. Before that, it was an ordinary friendship guild. Ah, ordinary is my standard, and it may have been unusual to others. Almost half of the members were tamers in the guild.”

“Ah… Did you?”

“Hmm? You really didn’t know. This is embarrassing. I thought that anyone who watched my broadcast would understand.”

‘I’ve never seen your broadcast…’

“Anyway, our guild was established for the purpose of having a pleasant experience while playing games. Since I am a tamer, the guild members also had a high percentage of tamers.”

Since it was broadcast on the Internet, a rough image was drawn.

Fans who follow him join a guild in droves, ride tamed animals or monsters and run as a group… Or catch raid bosses?

There were many such people among Korean internet broadcasters.

“Anyway, that’s all an old story. A lot has changed since that incident happened.”

“hahahaha…”

‘What the hell are you talking about? This person.’

“As you know, the class itself is almost useless once it reaches the level of the Abyss Dungeon.”

I know it well.

Tamer was a class that was avoided to some extent even when it was a game, and now that the game has become a reality, there is nothing to say.

“Then how did we get into the Abyss?”

“Yes?”

Suddenly a quiz show?

How do I know that, man?

“Isn’t it amazing? To think that our guild, which is mostly Tamers, entered the Abyss. And not just one party, but several parties.”

“Ah… That’s it too.”

I wondered if he was bragging about his money.

With money, he recruited 5 of the best party members into a guild, and he knew how to say that he entered the Abyss as part of that party.

But it wasn’t.

“I can’t give you the secret, but I’ll just say we have a special tool for that. You understand? If you are.”

“Ah, yes…”

“You’ll understand. From my point of view, you’re also a person with a special means. It’s called buff cooking.”

With that said, I could understand.

They should also be considered to have found something hidden that would completely change the evaluation of this world compared to when it was a game.

It could be a specific buff or a special item.

Of course you want to do it yourself, so even if you ask, they won’t teach you easily.

But why are you telling me such an important story?

I seemed to have a vague idea of the reason.

“The reason I tell you this story is because our guild needs you.”

‘As expected.’

“Me? I’m not even a tamer…”

Of course, what I want is the dish I made.

However, I pretended not to know.

From noble mtl dot com

As if I knew it, Everett continued, unfazed.

“Can I call you Taemin?”

“Oh, yes.”

“If you’ll excuse me, I’d like to ask Temin-nim. Taemin-nim, do you want to go back to Earth?”

Actually, I’m almost giving up, but if it’s possible, why wouldn’t I want to go back?

“Yes… Well. But I’m not confident to risk my life. Right now.”

“Well, that’s right. I have no intention of giving up my life either.”

“Then why would you ask such a question…”

He picked up the coffee on the table, smelled it, and said with a very confident face.

“As I said before, we have a method. With that, we can survive in the Abyss Dungeon even with the useless Tamer class.”

“Yes…”

“But no matter how much I think about it, I think Inferno will be difficult.”

“It must be a real hell.”

“Yes, but I saw hope. In Taemin’s cooking.”

“……”

“I’m not just saying this. With our means and Taemin-nim’s cooking ability, challenging the Inferno Dungeon won’t be just a dream. That’s why we want you. Would you like to come back to Earth with us?”

The words are plausible, but the story is missing an important part.

He doesn’t know what class I am.

What he’s saying right now is no different than saying that his party will return to Earth using my cooking.

Except me.

Or are you going to give me a bus ride?

I’m going to clear all the dungeons of Inferno difficulty with 5 people as long as I’m in a party and just watch. Does that make sense?

No matter how special my cooking is, that is absolutely impossible.

‘You should have at least asked my class first.’

Reading my sad expression, he opened his mouth again.

“You seem to be misunderstanding something.”

“Are you mistaken?”

“Yes. Just in case, I plan to return to Earth as the last member of our guild. After sending all the guild members back to Earth.”

“What is that…”

I was a little surprised.

I never dreamed that such words would come out of his mouth.

It wasn’t just because he was rich that he had strange prejudices.

It’s just that what he said was so absurd that I couldn’t believe it at all.

“Do you think it’s impossible? But look. I sent all my party members into the Abyss Dungeon except for me. At one time, the guys who were shunned by other parties and played solo in normal dungeons.”

“Then really…”

“I am confident. With your cooking and our tools, we will definitely be able to return to Earth.”

I couldn’t say anything for a while.

It wasn’t because I immediately believed his words.

I’m not the type of person who would easily fall in love with a few words from someone I wasn’t even close to.

The only thing I was curious about was the bottomless and endless basis of confidence.

I was very curious about what special something he said he possessed.

“Thank you for the offer, but I don’t know what to say right now. At least until I know the means you have…”

“As expected, that’s how you come out. I’m relieved. I like you even more because you’re a prudent person.”

“Ha ha ha…”

“I don’t want an answer right away. Please think carefully before contacting us. Our guild hideout is located in the downtown area of Felon, so you can visit us anytime. We’ll be waiting for you. I will teach you.”

The conversation ended with this.

In the end, I couldn’t get any information about the ‘means’ he was talking about.

‘Should I believe this or not?’

Although my cooking has a tremendous effect, I don’t think I can conquer the Abyss or the Inferno dungeon with just this.

I left the adventurer’s guild building with only those unresolved doubts in my heart.

‘Should I tell the kids first?’

* * *

“Are you here, Mister? Huh? What’s all that about?”

Returned to the inn.

On the way back, just in time, a gift from the lord arrived.

Receiving the gift, I went up to the third floor of the dorm where my colleagues were staying with a happy heart.

“Mumu, can you all call me? Just tell them that the lord’s gift has arrived.”

What arrived at the lord was a portion of the meat I asked for a few days ago.

According to the errand boy, there are six kinds of animal meat that can be obtained quickly.

Of course, meat that I have already tried is excluded.

The list has already been delivered to the lord.

Meat was put in the inventory in advance so that it would not go bad.

What I am holding right now is not me, but a present for the children.

“Huh? What is that?”

“Aww!”

“The lord sent it. Sorry Lin, I’ll buy you a present for Lin later.”

“A gift from the lord?”

Everyone gathered, and I slowly opened the large box I was holding.

Inside the box was none other than the item I requested from the lord.

Salem Hero Armor Equipment Set.

One set of robe equipment and one set of leather equipment.

“Huh? This is mine…”

“It came out of the random box then, right? But it was only a top and bottom. This is a full set. Includes hat, shoes, gloves and belt.”

“So the leather set is mine?”

“Yes. It will be easier to move than plate armor. It also has the effect of increasing attack power and agility.”

“Wow…But can we accept this?”

I replied with a smile.

“Of course. You haven’t received the reward for defeating the disaster yet.”

“You’ve got your own ideas… At that time, I thought I was completely fooled, but thank you so much. Thanks to you, I got new equipment… And even a full rare set…”

“Thank you mister! I’ll use Melissa as well. Huh? What is this?”

“What is it? Huh? Wow… This is…”

The eyes of the children who were excitedly rummaging through the boxes widened once again.

This is because I checked the equipment for special item options that I hadn’t seen before.

The Salem Hero Equipment Set is a rare grade, and it can be said to be the strongest armor set you can get in Salem.

It’s a little dangerous, but up to level 40 you don’t have to change your armor at all, and if you have a high-level colleague who can help you develop your character, you may wear it up to level 60.

Because of its excellent defense?

Not at all.

Rather, the level of defense is to the extent that the normal grade equipment that can be obtained near level 20 is superior.

The reason Salem hero equipment is special is that it consists of one set.

Also, new options are added every time you wear the 2nd, 4th, and 6th sets.

In particular, full set options that can be obtained when all six parts of equipment are equipped.

Among all the equipment and consumable items that exist in the world of Emperor of the Dungeon, the unique option caught the attention of the children at once.

That’s right.

– When all 6 parts are equipped: The amount of experience gained from killing monsters increases by 30%.

It is a whopping 30% EXP buff.

“No way, I deliberately caused a disaster because of this…”

“Your man is handsome!”

“Don’t doubt my actions anymore, you kids.”

“Yeah! Melissa will never doubt you anymore!”

“I-I’ll believe it… No, I believe it!”

“Mhahahahaha! Of course you should! Do you understand the deep meaning of this man now, gentlemen!”

“Yeah-sul!”

“That’s right! Captain!”

Lemon’s expression as he quietly watched the three of us from the side was strangely distorted.
