27. Extreme Choice (1)

[Immortality Elixir]

– Immortality has long been a dream of people. A life that never dies and enjoys eternal youth. The elixir of immortality is the result of a wizard twisting the process to obtain the result of immortality.

– It’s disgustingly tasteless. It also avoids goblins that eat even rotting corpses.

I remember that it was an explanation of …

If you choose to eat from your inventory

[Caution-Are you sure you want to consume this elixir?]

Doesn’t the same notification window pop up, but you could also see the motion of the character gagging after eating?

Taking the elixir didn’t change anything right away.

Just one more small icon that says [Status Abnormality: Elixir of Immortality] Is added to the information window.

It may seem like a piece of trash that doesn’t live up to the name of immortality, where you still take falling damage, die even if you get caught in a trap, and lose your health in an instant if you get caught in the wrong pattern of a boss… The true value of the elixir was after death.

The peculiarity is that the corpse of the person who took the elixir cannot be destroyed no matter what.

It didn’t react at all to the wizard’s Corpse Explosion spell, and even after the battle was over, the body of the dead was still there.

Even magic that can be treated as an item and stored in the inventory.

If you clear the stairs and take the corpse to the church, you can restore the dead party member.

The setting was that the soul is still attached to the body…

Of course, the church resurrected them, but they took all the money and ate it.

This goddess does it for a fee!

The Goddess Needs Offerings!

Although it was limited and had to go through the middle bridge of the church, it was faithful to the function of immortality.

Of course, there was a point where the function was activated after death, but where is that, you can use a precious party member once more.

However, its popularity was short-lived, and the frequency of using the Elixir of Immortality gradually decreased with each episode.

People say that the cost of helmsman is cheaper than the cost of reviving a nation with cost-effectiveness.

Hayden tilted his head as he stroked the top of his staff.

“I’ve only heard of it because it is the elixir of immortality, but this is the first time someone has spoken to me like this.”

“Yes?”

Who’s the first to say that? I heard that the story about the elixir was solved somewhere…

Unless she breaks through the 21st floor, she won’t even know it exists, so how does she wander?

“When you’re like me, there’s a lot to see and hear. I remember two years ago, an adventurer sold three elixirs of immortality to the imperial family for a huge sum, and the Magic Tower intervened in the middle.”

Her eyes widened at those words.

Has the elixir of immortality been broken?

An unknown chill passed through her chest.

Two years ago, an adventurer, a large amount of money, materials that could only be obtained on the 21st floor, but an elixir that was released.

“At the time, I thought he was just an unusual adventurer with a strange name, an adventurer with a fortune.”

Even the strange name, all those keywords were pointing to just one person.

“So… Was it Nagisingkungkkodo?”

The possessed person from the first part, Nagishingkungkotto.

His relaxed face naturally frowned.

Child sitpal, please! You can’t help you!

“Who would have known that you were such a great adventurer that you even found the Philosopher’s Stone?”

“…..”

“So, what’s your relationship with that adventurer?”

For some reason, it feels like that name is appearing, trying to use something from the past.

“I’m offering something that no one has ever discovered as an object of trade… I can’t go without doubt?”

“Would you believe me if I said I don’t know?”

“It can’t be!”

“… Then, I beg you to be my acquaintance…”

Take a look at that smiling face, the expression that will kill you with joy that you caught one!

“Do you know what happened after that adventurer found the Philosopher’s Stone?”

I can roughly guess what happened.

If an adventurer without any connections found an immense treasure that could not even be measured, wouldn’t it be natural for dung flies to come from all directions?

Among them, there must have been some who tried to identify them.

“The imperial family broke the unwritten rule and even issued a search and seizure warrant to the magic tower, and all sorts of official letters of cooperation came from various kingdoms. I want you to give me the information you obtained from the previous elixir of immortality.”

“So, did you get hit?”

“I threatened to spread biochemical weapons across the continent if I took even one step into the Mage Tower, but they calmed down.”

No, this is the magic tower. ISIS.

“Then why are you telling me?”

“Didn’t you say that he was an acquaintance? Hee hee.”

“…..”

f*ck.

I couldn’t spit on this smiley face, and the skill with which I rode the line was excellent.

“Now, shouldn’t we do the math again? Since you don’t want to give an exact answer to this, maybe I should add something?”

It seems that the act of gently rubbing your index finger and thumb has not been done once or twice.

“One bottle of the elixir of immortality is definitely not enough, is there anything else that could be added?”

“Yes? What does that mean…”

“The price of 6.4 Million gold you said is definitely unreasonable for a bottle. No matter how effective it is, and even if the scarcity value has increased over time, there are only a limited number of places where you can pay that price. Even considering that the auction is heating up, 3 million gold is the limit…”

“Now, wait a minute. There seems to be a misunderstanding. One bottle?”

It seemed that they were calculating something different.

“Yes, isn’t a bottle of the Elixir of Immortality what you can offer right now? Even so, 6.4 Million gold is not enough.”

“….. I just wanted to ask, how much did you sell 3 bottles before?”

“Each bottle was sold for 1 million gold. Two of them have already been used and only one remains in the Imperial warehouse.”

So, Nagisingkungko, this bastard earned a total of 3 million gold by using information monopoly?

This isn’t a pure robber!

“…Hayden’s right. I think we’ll have to recalculate.”

“Is that so? No matter how much, 6 million gold in one bottle…”

“I’m not offering you a bottle.”

“Isn’t it one bottle? Is it two bottles or three bottles?”

“No. It can’t be. I’m going to put it on the deal…”

He waved his index finger from side to side and smiled.

“It’s the recipe for the elixir of immortality.”

Boom.

There was a momentary silence in the room.

If it weren’t for the collapsing buildings in the distance, it would make you mistakenly thinking that time had stopped..

After a while, with a smile on his face, Hayden carefully held out a piece of paper in front of me.

“…..Shall we sign a contract right now?”

“Master, it’s ugly…”

Yerica’s words only echoed through the room.

Now, who’s the boss?

The staff that fell right on Yerica’s head is a bonus.

Beans!

“Aagh!”

They were really good teachers and students.

******

After finishing writing the contract, I looked at the remaining time.

It was about 25 minutes, neither too little nor too much.

Hayden, who had put the contract in the drawer of his desk as if he were enshrining a potion, grabbed all of his wand.

“So, is that the only thing I’m going to do?”

“Yes, I think you can do it if you can help the coalition and suppress it with as few casualties as possible.”

[Number of people: 27/30]

-3 People incapacitated

The number of injured people suddenly increased to 3. At this rate, the alliance would come to an end before time ran out.

“How long can the members of the Magic Tower last outside?”

“About an hour is the limit. If you use the magic stones you have to strengthen the external protection, you can last for about two hours.”

“It’s too long. You can cut it down to 20 minutes.”

Anyway, the decision was enough to come out at that point.

Goal: Defeat Legarete

ㄴ3rd wish fulfilled (replacement)

??? ?? ??? ?? (Alternative)

Although the third condition bothered me.

“20 Minutes… Is it related to the last clause?”

-[If Legarete is still a witch after 20 minutes, you must kill Einheri.]

“It’s just insurance. There is something I realized a little before.”

The concept of a buzzer beater was also applied to the game.

As it is, it is right that the defeat mark will appear naturally as time passes, but there were occasional cases where the boss who had been daughter’s daughter died due to dot damage left by the boss.

In that case, the defeat is canceled and it is recognized as clearing the stairs, but I didn’t know how that would apply in this reality, so I added a clause.

It would have been better if I died in one hit from Legarete.

But…What if… So, it was a very what-if assumption.

What if one of the limbs is crippled and cleared over time?

What if the clear judgment appears and you can no longer go back?

It was not that there was no possibility of a situation like one-armed Einheri or Einheri with impressive crutches.

The most unlucky thing is to become clear while dying.

Wouldn’t it be really terrible if I died as it is without re-challenge?

So I put it in, so that it will kill me over time.

There is a reason why the suicide clause was included in the contracts of both the Alliance and the Magic Tower.

“Have you, by any chance, taken the elixir of immortality?”

It was not unreasonable for Hayden to think that way.

Of course, the texture is completely different.

“It’s similar to that.”

“What? Please, I hope that doesn’t happen.”

He smiled bitterly and waved at Hayden.

I wish you all the best.

“By the way, Einheri, why did you ask us to stay? I think we’d better go out and help…”

When I turned my head, Yerica and Floren were standing there with tilted expressions.

“Because the two of you have something for you.”

“What can I do?”

The contract with Hayden promised not only the help of force, but also the support of goods and manpower.

“I need to find some stuff. I want you to help me with that.”

Due to the urgency of the battle between the Alliance and Legarete, Hayden made a mistake in the contract.

-The right to use everything that exists within the tower.

Although it is a contract that ends in 30 minutes, the mistake was not to clearly limit the items and quantity in the contract and item support.

Or maybe you thought that even if you brought it, you wouldn’t be able to carry much.

The magic tower’s security wasn’t easy either.

But I was wrong.

I mean, I bought all the DLC in the past when I was hooked on this f*cking game.

And among them, there was a DLC that robbed the Mage Tower warehouse.

“Yes? What is it…?”

The branch manager who was in charge of the tower also went out, and all the elite members went out.

Most of the people inside the tower must be non-combatants, so there was a high possibility that they wouldn’t know if they sneaked in.

Even if you get caught, you should just mention the contract.

My business at the Mage Tower isn’t over yet, no, it’s safe to say it’s just the beginning.

The goal has been set,

“Is there a warehouse in the basement of the Mage Tower? From now on, we’ll rob it… No, we’ll go get support for stuff.”

“…Yes…Yes?”

“Don’t worry, it’s written in the contract.”

…It’s an indirect interpretation, but it’ll work out somehow.

The password behind the magic tower storage was very famous.

1Q2w3e4r!!

Oh, it’s the same everywhere.

“What you will find there… Artifacts that increase physical abilities. You can just arrange them on the floor by category. I will make the distinction.”

The body I possessed was a normal person who knew nothing of fighting.

He’s a weakling who can’t even pull out a sword, let alone fight, so what can he say?

Just in case, that was the only way to create one chance to reach Legarete.

To be qualified to draw the holy sword.

[The owner’s strength status is insufficient.]

[Owner’s agility status is insufficient.]

[The owner’s ■■ status is insufficient.]

[The total sum of the owner’s stats is below the level.]

Eligibility: X

It is said that only a partial function is alive because Walundr has somehow maintained it, but the holy sword was still a holy sword.

5% Fixed damage in proportion to max health on hit

90% Resistance against all magical abilities max.

Immune to all status ailments when equipped.

Causes all status ailments on hit.

Every single option is the ultimate lethal weapon, and if you can wield it properly, it will definitely come in handy.

And that help was intended to be completed with the power of artifacts.

An extreme combination of strength and agility that completely eliminated magic.

A grotesque sight where the holy sword called the Divine Essence is completed by an artifact, a magical item.

“…Holy Sword Launcher.”

A combination of launchers only for the Holy Sword, by the Holy Sword, and for the Holy Sword.

It was a choice for a single swing, ignoring even survival, which would not have been allowed in the original game.

“Really perfect.”

Sigh.

I hope this is the last time the dice roll.
