I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy
Chapter 91

Episode 91. Arcane’s Request (2)

“What kind of request do you want to entrust?”

[To put it simply, this is a dungeon strategy.]

“Dungeon?”

Because it was an unexpected remark, Baek Woo-jin’s expression frowned slightly.

[yes. However, it will be a little different from the dungeons the prosecutor has been to so far.]

“What part is different?”

[Sorry, but I cannot give you accurate information until you accept the request. [There is an important secret involved.]

Seo Gong-myeong’s stern voice flowed from the speaker.

Security seemed to be a very important thing.

“Then do you know what the monster is?”

[It’s a golem.]

“Golem?”

Golem is a monster whose core is annoying but not that difficult to replace.

He could have just used the escorts in Arcane, but he didn’t know why he had been called.

[There are mud golems and rock golems, but fire golems are the majority.]

Fire golems burn hot flames from their bodies, causing burns just by being near them.

Its attack power is stronger than that of a regular golem, and its movement is fast, making it a difficult monster to deal with.

-If it’s a fire golem, you’re perfect. Because now you are a monster that can take on level 7 fire magic with a smile.

‘surely.’

Baek Woo-jin nodded.

It seems that Seo Gong-myeong knew that he had strong fire resistance and wanted to make this request.

[More information will be provided if you accept the request.]

“There are many talented people, so why do you want to request me?”

[I was impressed by the fact that you solved the incident on Artisan Island. And I got a recommendation. To four people.]

“It’s four people….”

I had a rough idea of three people, but I couldn’t figure out one person at all.

[Would you like to accept the request?]

“Wait a minute.”

Baek Woo-jin looked at Seo Gong-myeong’s number on his cell phone for a moment.

-What are you doing?

‘I don’t think this incident is normal.’

-Are you going to refuse?

‘No, I have to go. I recommended four people, but if they step down, Gao will be hurt.’

If you successfully complete this quest, you will have a direct connection with the Arcane Master, and that connection will be of great help in your future work.

“All right. “I will accept your request.”

-Then, please come to Arcane headquarters in two weeks. We will formally send you the request.

“All right.”

[Then.]

The phone hung up.

Baek Woo-jin put his cell phone in his pocket and took his sword.

“I guess I should get ready too.”

* * *

“How about this?”

“Crung.”

Ignis shook his head without even tasting the apples and pears.

“I guess he doesn’t like fruit.”

“The customer is very picky. “I’m a picky eater.”

-That’s right. A guy the size of a bean.

The darkness also waved its blade as if it were annoyed.

‘You are shorter.’

-Shut up. Everything I’m small about…

‘Okay. It’s because of me.’

Baek Woo-jin picked and snorted.

“Shall we bring out the next food?”

“okay. “I guess fruit isn’t that good.”

Baek Woo-jin nodded, putting apples and pears into his mouth.

“all right.”

Baek Woo-jin and Hong A-ra were looking for food that suited Ignis’ tastes in order to activate his characteristic gastroenteritis.

“Ignis. “It’s the next one.”

Hong Ara took out the next food she had prepared.

It was boneless chicken with a lot of steam rising.

“Kaa!”

When Ignis saw the boneless chicken Hong Ara brought, he turned his tail like a propeller.

The guy couldn’t stand the fragrant smell of something that had just been fried and rushed at him right away.

“I thought chicken would work.”

Baek Woo-jin smiled as he watched Ignis eating three pieces of chicken.

“Kao!”

Ignis laughed heartily as he chewed his chicken.

It seemed like he was praising Baek Woo-jin and Hong A-ra for liking their boneless chicken.

“You seem like a cocky spirit.”

Baek Woo-jin laughed as he looked at Ignis who was choking.

“Kyaaa!”

Ignis quickly emptied the plate and handed it to Hong Ara. It meant asking for more chicken.

“Is there more?”

“There’s a little more. But I left this for you to eat.”

“I just go to a restaurant and eat. “Just give it to me.”

As Hong Ara poured the leftover chicken into the bowl, Ignis’ eyes began to sparkle.

“Such a waste. “That guy’s name suits me well.”

-That’s right. You’re being so ignorant.

Ignis didn’t care what Baek Woo-jin said and just ate the chicken.

“Kyaaa!”

“uh?”

Baek Woo-jin’s eyes wavered when he saw Ignis stretching out in satisfaction after inhaling the chicken.

-Hey, that horn…

‘The color of the horn has changed.’

The color of Ignis’ third horn rising in the center became darker. It’s also orange, similar to the guy’s prominence.

Ding!

[The Flame Dragon’s Red Flame has appeared for the first time.]

[The Flame Dragon’s Red Flame is strengthened by the effect of the first manifestation.]

Ding!

[As an effect of the first manifestation, fire attribute sensitivity and resistance increase by 1 point.]

Baek Woo-jin smiled and looked at the notification window.

“After all, chicken is the best food.”

* * *

Baek Woo-jin headed to Arcane headquarters with Moon Ju-young.

“welcome!”

When we arrived in front of the headquarters, Seo In-ah appeared as if she had been waiting.

“You’ve grown taller over the years.”

Seo In-ah laughed, raising her hands above her head.

“is that so?”

Baek Woo-jin tilted his head.

I have no idea how tall I am now because I haven’t measured my height since I was 178.

“I think you’ve grown 5cm since I first saw you.”

“You are correct. “You are currently 183 cm tall.”

Suddenly, Moon Joo-young jumped out to the side.

“How do you know that?”

“I always have a sharp eye.”

Moon Joo-young raised his head, proud of his sharp eyes.

“Ugh…”

Baek Woo-jin shook his head and looked at Seo In-ah again.

“Is Ina giving us guidance today?”

“that’s right. I insisted and came out. Come over here.”

Seo In-ah vigorously waved her hand and put Baek Woo-jin and Moon Ju-young into the employee elevator.

Beep.

Contrary to her expectations of going up, Seo In-ah pressed the button for the 7th basement floor.

“Are we going underground?”

“All requests will be completed underground.”

“Hmm…”

Baek Woo-jin tilted his head.

The request was clearly to deal with monsters, but I didn’t understand that it would all end underground.

Tuk.

Before Baek Woo-jin could ask another question, the elevator arrived at the 7th basement floor.

There wasn’t a single person in sight, perhaps because the 7th basement floor was only accessible to employees.

‘Is it 11 people?’

-okay. 11 people are hiding and watching.

‘I’m getting more and more curious. ‘Why on earth did you call me?’

However, Baek Woo-jin could sense the presence of warriors hiding everywhere.

Contrary to appearance, the 7th basement floor was thoroughly protected.

“This way.”

Following Seo In-ah, we arrived at the end of the left hallway on the 7th basement floor.

When she placed her hand on the bare wall, the wall split and a door opened for one person to enter.

-Huh, there’s everything.

‘It must be a device using magic and tools. But just showing something like this…’

Baek Woo-jin looked at the open door and was lost in doubt.

“Is it okay to show something like this?”

Seo In-ah opened the door casually, but this kind of device was definitely not something to show to outsiders.

Since even he couldn’t feel the presence inside, it meant that it wasn’t an ordinary door.

“I didn’t show it carelessly. “I showed it to you because it was Woojin.”

Seo In-ah looked back and smiled with trust.

“The reason we hired Woojin for this job is not only because he is strong, but also because he showed faith in us.”

She bowed her head slightly and went inside.

“It seems like I gained Arcane’s trust because of what happened on Craftsman Island.”

Moon Joo-young looked at Baek Woo-jin with proud eyes.

“I was lucky in many ways.”

Baek Woo-jin nodded and went inside.

“Why are they…”

I saw familiar people.

These were the artisans and escorts I had seen on Artisan Island.

“It’s been a while.”

Kim Jang-hoon, the world’s master, approached Baek Woo-jin with a happy smile.

“Master?”

Baek Woo-jin’s eyes grew as big as a flower lantern because he had never thought that he would meet Kim Jang-hoon here.

“How are you?”

“I’m doing well. The old man….”

“I saw all of your performance because Ina showed that the day was far from over. “I see you’re doing well.”

“Thanks to you, father-in-law.”

Baek Woo-jin took one look at the sword hanging on his waist and then lowered his head.

“Take it out and try it.”

“yes.”

Baek Woo-jin pulled out the dark sword and handed it to Kim Jang-hoon.

“You managed it pretty well.”

“It’s because I like the sword so much.”

“Even if I flatter you so much, I have nothing more to give you.”

Kim Jang-hoon chuckled and returned the sword.

“I was going to look after you, but I guess I can do it after work is done.”

“What are you doing here, father-in-law?”

“Why would you do that? “I came because I had something to do with it.”

Kim Jang-hoon smiled without knowing what it was.

“If you say it’s related….”

“You’re here.”

Baek Woo-jin heard the voice he heard on the phone behind him.

“This is my first time seeing you like this. “It is called Seogongmyeong.”

When I turned around, a middle-aged man with his hair neatly slicked back and wearing gold-rimmed glasses approached me.

“This is Baek Woo-jin.”

“Thank you for saving my daughter and the island’s artisans. “Now I can properly thank you.”

Seo Gong-myeong laughed slightly.

-You are an unusual person. Normally, if I were in that position, I would talk to you informally.

‘That’s right. However, Seo Gong-myeong is not necessarily a good person.’

Baek Woo-jin did not pay attention because he did not know what kind of person Seo Gong-myeong really was.

Just as Baek Woo-jin observed Seo Gong-myeong, Seo Gong-myeong also glanced at Baek Woo-jin.

‘It’s different. ‘It’s completely different.’

I felt a completely different energy from Baek Woo-jin than the talented people I had seen so far.

It was the energy of a loser who made his own path instead of following others.

In particular, it was the first time I felt this kind of momentum from a young prosecutor who was not a family member.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve been a prosecutor like this, but I think I did a good job calling it as Ina said. It might be worth the investment.’

Seo Gong-myeong made eye contact with Baek Woo-jin and smiled slightly.

“Can I say hello too?”

A young man who appeared to be in his mid-20s appeared behind Seo Gong-myeong.

He had red hair, dark eyebrows, and a small scar on his face, but he had a confident smile.

“Ah…”

Baek Woo-jin looked at the man’s face as if he were lost.

-He is strong. The momentum I felt crossed the wall. But that Auror…

‘It’s Jeok Kyeong-hoon.’

Baek Woo-jin swallowed his saliva.

‘I’ve said it before. Jeok Yeon-hwa’s older brother and the second child of the Jeok family are said to be a genius among geniuses. That’s him. A genius warrior called Gwonryong.’

There was no way I didn’t know.

The person who appeared in front of him was Kwon Ryong, a member of the Red Family who was called a genius in the world.

“My name is Baek Woo-jin.”

“This is my first time seeing it. “This is Jeok Gyeong-hoon, a powerful enemy.”

Jeok Gyeong-hoon’s voice was relaxed and confident.

“I heard that your younger brother has been very rude.”

“no. “I also received help.”

“I don’t think he’s that kind of kid.”

Jeok Gyeong-hoon grinned as if he knew everything.

“Then today…”

When Baek Woo-jin looked at Seo Gong-myeong, he nodded.

“Kwon Ryong will also participate in today’s work.”

There is a story between Seo Gong-myeong and Jeok Gyeong-hoon, and their trust in each other is evident in their eyes.

“For your information, one of the four people who recommended you is also Kwon Ryong.”

“yes?”

Baek Woo-jin looked at Jeok Gyeong-hoon as if he was surprised.

“I heard that you have a lot of trust with Arcane, so I wanted to take a look at you since you’re the hottest junior.”

Jeok Gyeong-hoon turned his head and grinned.

‘But this far exceeded my expectations…’

Although he was smiling on the outside, Jeok Gyeong-hoon was shocked on the inside.

The powerlessness felt by Baek Woo-jin far exceeded his expectations.

I was so surprised that my hands were sweating.

‘How is it possible to achieve that level at that age? ‘Are you sure you’re human?’

Although he has lived his life hearing that he is a genius every day, when he compares himself to Baek Woo-jin now when he was 17, he feels a lot worse.

‘The monster was not Baek Seong-hyeon, but this guy.’

I felt like I was meeting a true monster for the first time, so I started to feel both nervous and excited.

‘Things seem easy, but they also seem difficult.’

-What kind of bullshit is that?

‘It’s difficult because I called Kwon Ryong, but I think it will be easier because I have Kwon Ryong.’

Even though he has accumulated many achievements and a reputation, he still cannot reach the level of Kwon Ryong.

In order to deal with Jeok Gyeong-hoon, at least the third brother must come.

“Then where is the dungeon we should go to?”

“It is here.”

“yes?”

“I told you on the phone. “It’s not an ordinary dungeon.”

When Seo Gong-myeong touched the floor, a downward staircase appeared.

“Please come this way. The explanation will be quicker if you see it for yourself.”

Seo Gong-myeong went down with Baek Woo-jin and Jeok Gyeong-hoon.

-My senses are blocked.

‘They must have installed tools to make this passage undetected.’

The stairs seemed endless and the walls were all gray.

When I got close to the 7th floor, Seo Gong-myeong raised his hand.

The wall next to the stairs split in half and the door to enter was opened.

“Here we go.”

Seo Gong-myeong turned his head as if to follow him and went inside.

“Ah…”

Baek Woo-jin, who followed him into the door, had his pupils cloudy and unfocused.

“What are you doing here?”

-Wait a minute, this place…
