Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 289

“Master, you’ve arrived!”

“Ah, Harry. How’s the shop?”

“As you can see, it’s thriving. Our main clientele, the players, mostly look for items enchanted with 1st or 2nd circle magic, which our current mages can handle sufficiently.”

“What about the ones I made?”

“They’re mostly for display. Some players occasionally buy them, but there aren’t many who can afford them.”

“I suppose.”

Equipment and tools created using high-grade or higher mana stones, inscribed with magic of the 3rd circle or higher.

If he had wanted to make money, he would have held an auction and sold them to the highest bidder, but Se-un didn’t do that.

Buy them if you want, if not, oh well. That was his attitude.

If no one bought them by the time he left Zhe-Heton, he could just sell them to the Blue Turtle Merchant Guild or give them to the Diablo Guild members.

As Harry said, they were worth it as display items, so he didn’t feel any regret.

“Any customers?”

“Ah, they’re waiting on the second floor. I heard it’s the leader of the ‘Biscuit’ Guild.”

“What’s the business?”

“They said they wanted to meet you in person to discuss it.”

“Good job. Well, keep up the good work.”

“Yes, Master!”

Se-un left Harry, who was expressing his loyalty by bending at a right angle, and went up the stairs.

The Biscuit Guild.

He had never heard of them before.

He hoped it was a ‘custom order’ with a high price and almost no requests, but it seemed like it was for something else.

Since he had come this far, he would meet them, but from now on, he would have to set some conditions for Harry when calling him.

“Oh, hello! So, the rumor that the shopkeeper is a player was true.”

When he arrived on the second floor, a man dressed neatly like a resident greeted him with a bright smile.

He must have been living in Zhe-Heton for quite some time.

“I’m Jeong Min-joon, the leader of the Biscuit Guild.”

“Jeong Se-un.”

“No way! Are you Korean? I thought the accent sounded familiar! And we even share the same family name, Jeong! I guess this was meant to be! Haha!”

The Tower is vast.

Even though humans make up a large proportion of it, not all humans came from the Earth that Se-un knew.

Some came from different dimensions with different levels of development or cultures, and others had different abilities.

And with other races as well… the probability of encountering a player from the same region and time period was very low.

“Please tell me your business.”

“How about we sit down and talk slowly? We can also talk about Earth….”

“I’m a bit busy.”

“…Haha, I suppose so. You’re creating such wonderful enchanted items. Then I’ll get straight to the point!”

The man put on a serious face, but Se-un just wanted to leave this place.

He already knew what the man was going to say.

He thought it would be more beneficial to train or create another enchantment during this time.

And the man’s point was exactly what Se-un had expected.

“I would like to invite Se-un to be the vice-guild leader of our Biscuit Guild. Our guild is….”

“I refuse.”

“What? No, please listen for a moment….”

“I’m busy, so I’ll leave first.”

“Ah, no. I….”

Se-un turned around without hesitation.

* * *

After that, Se-un received various scout offers from different guilds.

They promised the guild’s potential, rewards, and positions, trying their best to attract Se-un.

Some even asked him to become the guild leader of their guild.

‘Well, they must think it’s beneficial to have me join no matter what.’

The points Se-un was earning were truly enormous. Enough to become a major player in the auction house as soon as he entered the 50th floor.

Moreover, what if the guild members each received enchanted equipment?

It would be much easier to climb the Tower.

Of course, Se-un didn’t need to listen to any of that.

There was no need to deal with such new guilds with no influence or power.

As the number of customers requesting Harry to call the shopkeeper increased, Se-un had no choice but to reveal the existence of the Diablo Guild.

However, the number of customers bothering Harry only increased.

“Please accept me too!”

“I’m Jeong Min-joon, the leader of the Biscuit Guild! No, the former leader! I even disbanded the guild to join the Diablo Guild!”

“You definitely won’t regret accepting me! I’m a rare healing-type ability user among players!”

This was because those who wanted to join the Diablo Guild rushed in.

Even though he drew a line saying that he wasn’t recruiting guild members, the requests didn’t stop.

Thanks to that, Se-un didn’t even go to work when he was enchanting. He didn’t want to visit the store and get into a troublesome situation.

‘They probably won’t contact me for a while.’

Sorry, but I don’t want any trouble. It’s more beneficial to train a little more during that time.

However, not long after, Harry contacted him.

“Master, we have a custom order request. Will you accept it?”

* * *

Custom order.

He had nominally put it up, but no one had ever properly requested a custom order.

Even though the residents were interested, most of the items sold in Se-un’s shop were for combat or exploration.

So, most of the customers were players.

Even if players worked hard to save money, all they could do was buy one piece of equipment enchanted with 3rd or 4th circle magic.

There was no way they would have enough contribution points to request a custom order.

‘Who is it?’

To have enough contribution points to request a custom order, it was impossible to just solve quests in Zhe-Heton.

At least, they had to have accumulated high contribution points by passing the trials so far with high rankings.

It was clear that they were quite skilled.

‘If that’s the case, they would have been famous even before the regression,’ he thought as he went up to the second floor, and he saw familiar, glossy, light green hair.

“Liel Refrain?”

“…Who are you?”

Liel Refrain.

The last elf, the only one in the Tower.

Perhaps the last seed of the World Tree, considered unique throughout all dimensions.

He hadn’t seen her since they met in the tutorial, but she was standing in front of him.

‘Well, I’ve seen the name often, though.’

While climbing up to the fifth resting place, Se-un had recorded first place in most of the trials.

He had often read the rankings while waiting for others to finish the trials.

The name that always appeared was ‘Liel Refrain’, the name of the elf who was now panicking in front of him.

“Could it be that you’re the shopkeeper of this store?”

“That’s right.”

– The Constellation, ‘The Fifth Day’, smiles, saying it’s been a while.

She had been running so hard on her own that she was always challenging the trials on the upper floors before Se-un.

He wondered why she had stayed in Zhe-Heton for so long this time.

Well, Zhe-Heton was much larger than the previous resting places, so she might have been wandering around to gather information about the World Tree.

“This is perfect.”

Liel, who had been panicking, soon regained her composure and approached Se-un.

The last time he saw her, she had applied for a duel because she had been deprived of first place in the tutorial ranking, so was she going to ask for another duel?

Se-un had monopolized first place in the trials, but that was after Liel had passed, so there shouldn’t be any discord.

As he was thinking that, Liel, who had come closer, immediately bowed deeply.

“I’m sorry.”

“……What?”

“About the tutorial. I was so frustrated and angry with myself at the time that I made a mistake.”

He didn’t expect her to apologize….

Se-un was taken aback by the unexpected apology.

“I wanted to apologize first if we ever met again. I think I was really immature and pathetic.”

“It’s okay. It’s all in the past anyway.”

In fact, Se-un didn’t feel particularly uncomfortable when he dueled with Liel at the time.

She had done her best as the first test subject of the Authority of Jealousy.

Of course, she wouldn’t know this fact.

– The Constellation, ‘The Fifth Day’, watches the reconciliation scene with a pleased expression.

– The Constellation, ‘The Serpent Enclosing Envy’, flicks its tongue with sharp eyes.

“Thank you. I’ll be sure to repay you properly someday if I have the chance.”

“Okay.”

He had no intention of refusing since she said she would repay him first.

After a brief greeting that started with a sudden apology, the two sat down.

It was the first time since Loren that he had properly treated a guest, but fortunately, the seats were neatly arranged.

“Did you find any information about the Garden of Eternity?”

“……No. I thought I could find some clues in a place the size of Zhe-Heton, but I just wasted time.”

“It can’t be helped.”

After winning the duel with her, Se-un had made a suggestion. He offered to guide her to the ‘Garden of Eternity’.

However, she had rejected Se-un’s offer.

She said that she would try to find it herself as much as possible, as it was the hope of her fellow elves.

Well, Se-un also respected her choice. If you rely on someone else’s strength, you won’t be able to develop your own.

In fact, if she had been under Se-un, she wouldn’t have grown as quickly as she has now.

Unlike Yoo Seo-ah or Kang Han-cheol, she knew how to grow quickly without Se-un’s help.

“Perhaps. I’m just asking in case, but I didn’t miss it, did I……?”

“If you’re so worried, why don’t you follow me?”

“No. I don’t deserve to rely on anyone…….”

However, gathering information in Zhe-Heton like now is just a waste of time.

Se-un also had expectations for her strength and the growth of the World Tree, so he revealed the information first.

“Well, don’t worry. The Garden of Eternity only appears after passing the seventh resting place.”

“……Really?”

“Why would I lie? I can give you more detailed information, but there’s a condition.”

“Um, I’ll do my best to investigate, but. What is it? The condition.”

“Join me at the seventh resting place. You have to go with me.”

“Why?”

“Just because. Consider it a reward for what you said you’d give me earlier.”

“……Okay.”

It’s easy to tell her the location of the garden. However, before Se-un regressed, she had disappeared while searching for the Garden of Eternity.

No one knew the reason, but if Se-un’s prediction was correct, she would have eventually found the Garden of Eternity.

And…….

‘She would have lost her life in front of the Garden of Eternity.’

This was the reason for her disappearance that Se-un predicted.

He didn’t know how strong she would grow in this life, but he didn’t think she could enter the Garden of Eternity with that level of strength.

Se-un also wanted the World Tree to be planted in the Tower, so he wanted to help her with this matter.

“The small talk is over, so let’s get to the point.”

“Ah, yes! I didn’t even think I’d meet you here, so I forgot. Here.”

She placed a staff on the table.

Although it was called a staff, it wasn’t made by cutting down a tree, but rather a staff that had a natural and mysterious atmosphere like a complete plant in itself.

It was the ‘Branch of Yggdrasil’ that she had obtained as a reward for 2nd place in the tutorial ranking.

“You want me to enchant this?”

“Is it possible? If not, I’m thinking of requesting an enchantment on other equipment.”

“It’s possible, but I can’t get the materials in Zhe-Heton.”

The Branch of Yggdrasil is a growing equipment that becomes stronger with its owner over time.

As it is a rare and powerful equipment, it is impossible to enchant it with just mana stones. Even with the highest quality mana stones boasted by the Blue Turtle Merchant Guild.

“What materials do you need?”

“At least you need materials with the power of a high-grade spirit.”

A high-grade spirit refers to the strongest spirit among ordinary spirits, excluding the Spirit King.

Of course, it was not a material that could be obtained in the fifth resting place.

To get it directly, you need to be at least on the 60th floor or higher.

Although rare, it could also be purchased at auction houses that open after the sixth resting place.

“Would this be possible?”

She placed four materials next to the Branch of Yggdrasil.

Even without checking the information, Se-un could recognize the value of the materials.

‘Tears of Elestra. Feather of Silestine. Ashes of Seleana and even the Footprints of Noehanen…….’

All materials from the Four Great Spirits.

And as Se-un said, they were materials with the power of high-grade spirits.

“It’s possible.”

He didn’t ask where she got them.

He didn’t think he could get the same thing even if he knew the method.

“That’s a relief.”

“Five million points.”

“……Yes?”

“You brought the materials yourself, so I’ll only charge for labor.”

Liel’s eyes widened.

Well, five million points was by no means a small number for a player.

Even Liel, who had been running ahead of Se-un in the trials without missing a ranking, would find it a burdensome amount.

However, it couldn’t be helped.

“This will take me more than a day. It may take me several days, so I have to get compensation for that.”

“Ho, perhaps you still haven’t forgiven me…….”

“If that were the case, I would have asked for ten million.”

He said he would help her, but he had no intention of volunteering.
