Chapter 97: It’s not that much (1)

There was no need to explain. Something heavy was thrown at him and Dohyuk reflexively reached out to grab it.

“...!”

“Good reflexes.”

Emmanoel complimented him with a bright voice. What she threw to Dohyuk was a small ball.

“I call that a ‘scope’.”

The sphere, which was the size of a baby’s fist, had a metal frame that was filled with transparent crystals. Dohyuk wasn’t sure if it was empty or full, but he saw a needle that was shaped like an arrow floating in the center of the ball.

“If you look closely, there’s a small lever that you can pull. Do you see it?”

“Yeah.”

“Try pulling it.”

Dohyuk pulled without hesitation. With a loud blare, he felt a stinging pain coming from the thumb that he used to pull the lever.

“Now it’s bound to you, and only you can use it.”

He looked down at his thumb where there was now a small puncture. There was a drop of blood at the end of the lever too.

“If you pull the lever, the arrow will point towards the closest relic from your current location. Oh, but don’t pull it right now. Be careful.”

Emmanoel warned, “If you activate the scope, it won’t stop until you find the relic. And when you activate it, the scope has to be in the hand you held it with.”

“If I don’t do that?”

“It will be destroyed, with or without you finding the relic.”

“...”

“Whether you pull the lever or not, always carry it around with you. If that thing is placed more than ten steps away from you, it will get destroyed also.”

Dohyuk examined the ball.

“Keep it well. That’s the only one I have. You can now find relics from all around the world.”

“And kill Casita?”

“It would be nice if it were that easy.”

She smiled as she added, “Actually, I’m not too sure. All these years, I thought about how to kill him and put this to an end once and for all, but I only end up with an illusion. It just isn’t possible.”

Her voice showed that she was very tired.

“Maybe you are not so different than me. Maybe you failed to kill Casita and ended up like me, or even worse. But from what I can see, you at least have a better chance. That’s why I’m giving that to you. Even if you don’t succeed, I can be hopeful that this will all come to an end.”

Dohyuk then stopped looking at the scope and spoke.

“...It’s been a long time.”

Dohyuk had been keeping track of how long he had been in the tent.

“I have to return now.”

“Oh, right. Of course. Thank you for coming,” she nodded. Dohyuk then lowered his hand while holding the scope and looked up at her.

“And the payment?”

He reached out with his hand.

“Huh?”

“Payment. You must know what I’m talking about.”

The reason why he came was not to receive a ball.

“The payment for the Godly Item. Marie didn’t pay me yet. She handed me those tickets because you invited me, not for the payment. Don’t say that was the payment.”

Dohyuk did not agree to it, and he wouldn’t have agreed even if it was the payment.

“If it was, then I’ll return this to you. If it wasn’t, let’s make it quick.”

Emmanoel was dumbfounded and was at a loss for words. She then became apologetic and answered, “The payment is separate from the scope of course. I was just... lost. I’m sorry. I forgot after we talked.”

“So, you will pay me here?”

“No, transferring the coins to your ‘wallet’ has to be done within the range of Casita’s system. If you return, I’ll call Marie and have her take the payment back to you.”

“How much are you paying me?”

“4.7 million.”

Dohyuk remembered how much he was paid for his Pair of Crescent Moons.

“That’s a lot.”

“Yeah, believe it or not, we have to pay the max for that.”

Emmanoel smiled, but Dohyuk didn’t. He put the scope in his pocket and prepared to rip the white ticket.

“Hope we see each other again.”

“Of course, we’ll meet again.”

Dohyuk answered immediately, “You will call me even if I don’t want to see you.”

“...”

Dohyuk did not see her face change and ripped the ticket. A few seconds later, he was back in the underground tunnel.

“Y-you are back so early?”

Dohyuk nodded as he fought back the nausea from the teleportation.

“Go back immediately. Your boss has some work for you.”

“What?!”

She quickly disappeared and when she returned-

<<Acquired 4,700,000 coins>>

-Coins: 5,810,341

Dohyuk saw the payment coming into his wallet.

“Hey.”

“Yes?”

“Your president has the same last name as you.”

“Oh, uh... she is my boss and the godmother of my family. The ancestor that started my family was actually her younger brother.”

“Are you close to her?”

“C-close?!” She jumped in surprise, “H-how can I... How dare can I... the president is very strict and fair. Even if I share the same blood, she’s fair to everyone... I mean, she encourages me sometimes, but I get nervous every time she does that.”

Dohyuk didn’t need to ask anymore as Marie began singing praises about her president.

“...and she’s as powerful as any of the other gods from other worlds. We don’t know how she still has her body even when she lived for that long but...”

“Okay, enough.”

“...!! I-I’m sorry! I’ve talked too much.”

“No, it was useful information.” Dohyuk smiled as he shook his head, “Good work anyway. I probably will have to call you again soon.”

“O-of course! Call me anytime!”

“Yeah, thanks. And talking about that...”

Dohyuk told Marie about what he needed.

“Can you prepare them?”

“Three... no, give me two days..”

“Yeah, I can do that.”
