Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 80

Stolen from the Devil God’s Vault – Chapter 84

Chapter 84

The Diablo Clan’s location was farther than I thought.

As the floor was named ‘Shelter,’ it was quite a distance from the residential area where people gathered.

I thought I might have gotten lost without Hedrick’s help.

“This is it! Wow, it’s gotten so much better while I haven’t been here! I’d believe it if you told me it was a town, not just a temporary residence!”

The base looked quite impressive.

A properly built fence, almost too good to be called a palisade [a defensive wall made of pointed stakes], and a gate that seemed to mimic the Golden Castle’s gate. Even a high watchtower that looked to be at least 10m tall [approximately 33 feet].

Even though Se-un entered the Tower late, it couldn’t have been that long.

Considering the time, it was a surprisingly well-made base.

‘It must be thanks to those two.’

Han Areum and Han Da-un.

Twin sisters who each made contracts with the 38th-ranked Devil King Halphas and the 39th-ranked Devil King Malphas.

Their skills were evident.

Probably, not only the exterior but also the structures inside the fence would be excellent.

“Wow, I’m officially visiting the Diablo Clan! It’s an honor! To see those Rankers in person that I’ve only heard about!”

Hedrick brought his hand to his cheeks, which were starting to calm down. He looked like a child excited to meet a hero.

How many heroic tales did Park Jung-pil spread around to get that kind of reaction?

It was the moment Se-un decided to give that guy a proper re-education once again.

“Ho, 혹시 저도 클랜에 들여보낼 줄 수 있으십니까?”

“You’re about to go in now.”

” 말고, 그, 입단 말입니다! 만약, 받아주시면 저 헤드릭! 최선을 다하겠습니다!”

“You said you’re in a clan, right?”

“If I can join the Diablo Clan, I can abandon everything right away!”

“Rejected.”

“네? 어, 어째서…….”

“How can I accept someone who abandons their own clan so easily?”

“But if I don’t abandon it, I can’t join in the first place!”

“That’s why you’re rejected.”

“……혹시 제가 마음에 안 드십니까?”

“…….”

Se-un tried to ignore Hedrick’s gaze and approached the gate.

The gate was tightly closed, and there were no guards, but the watchtower, standing tall, was the first to recognize the guests.

“Two players confirmed at the gate.”

“No one should be coming in at this hour?”

“But they look a little familiar… Oh, oh?”

“What, what’s wrong?”

Even though the distance to the watchtower was quite far, Se-un’s ears, enhanced by ‘Kobold’s Odd Ear,’ could hear even the smallest voices.

Judging by the atmosphere, they seemed to have recognized Se-un’s identity.

Soon after, a voice loud enough to be heard without enhancing hearing was heard.

“B, Blood Wolf!”

“What?”

“It’s Blood Wolf!”

“Is it real? Quickly, tell Seo-ah!”

“Yes, sir!”

One of the players on the watchtower hurriedly climbed down the ladder to the ground.

Because the voice was so loud, Hedrick also recognized the word and looked at Se-un with wide eyes.

“B, Blood Wolf? Are you the real Blood Wolf? The solitary wolf of blood, Blood Wolf Lord Jung Se-un?!”

“Haa…….”

-The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ desperately tries to hold back laughter.

-The Constellation, ‘The Serpent Enclosing Jealousy,’ comforts you with a pitiful gaze.

Se-un sighed deeply, holding his forehead.

Only a few days away, and such rumors had spread. Hearing it right next to me made my hands and feet curl up [an expression of extreme embarrassment or discomfort].

“I mixed swords with such a Blood Wolf! Oh, this hand! No, I will never wash this cheek!”

“Can you shut up a bit.”

“Yes, sir.”

Mixed swords, my ass. We never even clashed swords in the first place, and his memory of the battle with Se-un seemed to be embellished.

And not long after, the thick gate began to open.

As soon as a gap appeared, enough for one person to enter.

Thud!

With a dull noise, the gate swung open, and the sturdy figure of Kang Han-cheol appeared inside.

“Se-un!”

Yoo Seo-ah quickly ran and hugged Se-un.

More than seeing him after a long time, it seemed to be because of her worry about Se-un, who had suddenly jumped off a cliff without telling her why.

Normally, he would have immediately slipped away, but this time, Se-un quietly accepted her embrace.

Kang Han-cheol, who came up behind her, scratched his cheek awkwardly.

“It’s been a while.”

Only after Se-un spoke first did Yoo Seo-ah come to her senses and create some distance.

Soon after, dozens of clan members came out of the wide-open gate to welcome Se-un.

“Blood Wolf oppa [Korean term for ‘older brother’ used by females]!”

“We’ve been waiting so long!”

“Especially Seo-ah unnie [Korean term for ‘older sister’ used by females]!”

“Ah, Areum-ah!”

“It’s been a while.”

“See! I told you I’d definitely come back!”

The quiet gate front instantly became noisy.

Behind them, Hedrick was at a loss, with his eyes and mouth wide open.

“Let’s go inside and talk for now.”

“But who is that?”

“He guided me here. Give him a tour or something.”

“It’s an honor!”

With a loud answer, Hedrick stepped into the clan’s interior.

* * *

“Wow, you built all this in just a few days? That’s amazing! It’s comparable to that village over there!”

As expected, the facilities inside the base were as excellent as the outside.

Se-un was surprised by the twin sisters’ much-improved skills, and Hedrick openly exclaimed in admiration.

“Ahem! See that drainage? We not only built the buildings properly but also paid perfect attention to the layout!”

“Hey, I calculated all the layout!”

“Hey, unnie, don’t be petty about such things!”

“What? Petty? You!”

-The Constellation, ‘Black Bird,’ nods, saying that it is definitely petty.

-The Constellation, ‘Giant Bird,’ covers the Black Bird’s mouth and stops the two contractors.

Thanks to that, the twin sisters’ shoulders shrugged tirelessly. Seeing them eagerly explaining along the way, they must have been very proud.

‘Well, they didn’t have proper tools before.’

In the tutorial, they had to build buildings with only the minimum equipment that could be purchased from the contribution store.

Most of the materials were wood or stone, and the two of them had already created basic facilities and even catapults with just that, which was already amazing.

‘From the moment you enter the Tower, you can somehow get most items.’

The result of adding good materials to that skill is this.

As you can see, even on the first floor alone, there are various collectable materials, and merchants in the village were selling various items.

If you have enough contribution points, which replace the concept of currency in the Tower, you can buy as many different items as you want.

“Oh! Oh! Is that perhaps the Undead of Lord Sihae that I’ve only heard about?”

Before entering the building, a pile of monster corpses caught his eye in one corner of the base.

Monsters that Se-un was also familiar with.

The corpses of the monsters that attacked the castle in the fifth chapter of the tutorial.

Of course, among them were the corpses of strong monsters of the named monster class.

Whether something had been done to them, there was no rapid decay unique to marine monsters, and no terrible odor was felt.

Baek-hyun, who was parting the octopus-shaped monster’s suckers and adjusting his glasses, soon realized Se-un’s presence and turned his head.

“Ah! You’re back. I’m sorry I couldn’t come out to greet you. When I concentrate, I can’t see my surroundings very well…….”

“It’s okay. What are these?”

“Though my skills are lacking, I brought them because I thought they could be used as undead.”

“Good idea.”

“Haha, right? I realized this thanks to the Manticore, but these named-type monsters can not only be strong but also command lower-level undead! Of course, it’s more of an instinctive command than a rational one, so there are improvements needed…….”

-The Constellation, ‘The Horse Trampling on Death,’ starts to neigh happily at the contractor’s knowledge.

As the topic turned to the undead, Baek-hyun continued to speak excitedly.

He is usually a quiet person who only does his job silently, but it seemed that he talked a lot when it came to the undead.

The 4th-ranked Devil King, Gamigin, who was watching him, also liked Baek-hyun’s reaction.

At first, he had only connected him with Gamigin because he seemed to have some talent, but seeing this, they seemed to be a better match than he thought.

“If you need anything, tell me anytime. I’ll help you anytime if I can.”

“No! Thanks to Se-un, I can play my part in the clan like this. Ah, but if it’s okay, can we discuss the toxicity of the Manticore later? It seems to have a high acidity and can even dissolve solids…….”

Se-un was also interested in the story as a former adventurer, but Yoo Seo-ah stepped in and carefully cut off Baek-hyun’s words.

After all, it was more important to hear Se-un’s story first.

Only then did Baek-hyun come to his senses, smile awkwardly, and step aside.

As soon as Se-un moved his steps, he began to dissect the octopus-shaped monster again.

In addition to that, various things were happening at the base, such as cooking or practicing combat.

Really, like a village.

Watching that scene, Hedrick couldn’t help but admire it.

“You’ve been doing well. You’ve worked hard.”

“You told me at the end. Please take care of the clan.”

No matter what anyone said, it was Yoo Seo-ah who led the clan, entered the Tower, and built the base.

Everyone here worked hard, but among them, Yoo Seo-ah’s sense of responsibility was ideal for others.

Feeling like he had passed on the burden, Se-un scratched his cheek awkwardly.

“I didn’t want to disappoint you as much as Se-un asked. And now I’m getting used to this too.”

Well, how many times has Se-un left the clan?

From the first chapter of the tutorial, he left, saying he was heading to the rocky mountain, and then he left whenever he had a chance to find a hidden piece.

It was the same during the ogre hunt in the third chapter, and it was the same when he was stealing from the warehouse in the fourth chapter.

Come to think of it, he seemed to have left in every chapter of the tutorial.

‘If it weren’t for Yoo Seo-ah, I wouldn’t have been able to lead the clan this far.’

Probably, only about ten or twenty people would have barely followed.

“Here it is.”

“Oh, it’s great?”

“We built it the biggest because it’s where Seo-ah unnie will be staying!”

“Hehe, we even made Se-un oppa’s room together!”

“Silly, you should have made only one room!”

“Ah!”

“……Areum-ah, Da-un-ah?”

“Run away!”

“Kyaa!”

The twin sisters made a fuss and ran away far away.

Only Kang Han-cheol and Yoo Seo-ah were left in their places.

But there’s something strange.

“Where’s Park Jung-pil?”

I thought he would run out from the entrance as soon as we arrived at the base, but even though I’ve looked around almost the entire base, Park Jung-pil was nowhere to be seen.

As soon as Se-un mentioned his name, Yoo Seo-ah sighed softly.

“Haa. He probably went to drink.”

“……Drink?”

When I turned my head, Hedrick started whistling, pretending not to notice.

I wondered where Park Jung-pil was spreading the rumors, but alcohol was the problem.

Still, he was relatively normal during the tutorial.

One more reason to educate him has been added.

“He’s been attending every day since he found the bar in the village. He should be coming soon.”

As soon as Yoo Seo-ah said that…….

“Hyungniiiiim [Korean term for ‘older brother’ used by males]!!”

A familiar voice was heard from the direction of the base’s main gate.

When I turned around, Park Jung-pil was running quickly with a flushed face. I could smell the alcohol even from this distance; how much he had been drinking since broad daylight.

“He finally came out.”

“Keuh! Have you been waiting for me so much? I, Park Jung-pil, your hyungnim’s right-hand man! I’ve been waiting for hyungnim, whether it’s snowing or raining!”

“Yoo Seo-ah, I’m sorry, but can I take some time with Jung-pil before we talk?”

Yoo Seo-ah, who wanted to hear Se-un’s story right away, seemed a little hesitant, but because of the thick murderous intent felt on Se-un’s face, she had no choice but to nod.

Soon after, Se-un raised the corners of his mouth and approached Park Jung-pil.

“H, Hyungnim? But why are you clenching your fist like that? Haha…….”

“Kang Han-cheol, catch him.”

“Okay.”

“E, eh? Let go! Let go, this! Hyungnim, why are you doing this? How much have I been waiting for hyungnim!”

“Shall we have a deep conversation?”

“I, I was wrong! Hyungniiiiim!”

At that moment, Hedrick, who was watching the scene from behind, could realize.

If Se-un’s education was like a school class, the education he received was about the 1st period [first class of the day].

No.

-The Constellation, ‘The Donkey-Headed Snatcher,’ bursts into laughter, saying that he knew it would be like this.

It felt like the assembly time before the 1st period even started.
