[Episode 11] Jagalchi Market (4)

The grandfather I saw through the eyes of others was a little different from the grandfather I usually knew.

Should I say it looks a little more strict and scary?

I could see that the caring aspects he showed to me were only visible to his family.

‘And it seems like things have been much more corrected.’

I felt like I was 20 years younger.

Maybe it’s not because of the mood.

I could tell just by looking at his steps.

It was a grandfather who had lost a lot of strength in his legs because he was old and had problems with his brain.

However, now there is no such figure at all, and he was leaping from the rootstock of the tree or walking with strides. Besides, his face seemed to be as young as the grandfather in my childhood memories.

‘It must be because of the awakening.’

It was a whopping level 55 ability.

It was natural for his physical ability to rise rapidly.

together.

[Guardian of the World Tree (Passive) (Mythic)]

-The one chosen by the World Tree,

{Life of the World Tree}

{Blessing of the World Tree}

{Blessing of the World Tree}

The awakening ability of the grandfather had a grade called ‘myth’ instead of alphabet numbering.

And the performance was great as well.

‘tremendous.’

One skill had several additional skills, which was similar to the Absolute Master skill I had.

‘Is the ability also hereditary?’

If so, it could be said to be more hopeful.

It was because there was a possibility that other family members might have awakened similar abilities.

It is also an ability that is different from the standard ability,

Just in case, I tried using the communication ring toward my grandfather.

[grandfather! Can you hear me?]

However, my voice never reached my grandfather as it was made exclusively for vassals from the beginning.

I had no choice but to change the target and ask Kim Jae-hyun and his party to deliver it.

[Everyone, he is my grandfather, would you like to say hello for me?]

Coincidentally there, a man who had been friendly with Ha Dong-gun’s party was introducing Ha Dong-gun’s party to his grandfather.

“He’s a new son, but he’s so talented that he creates things out of nothing. Aren’t all the things here made by them?”

“yes?”

Grandpa took a look at the goods piled up in the warehouse and then approached the party.

Ha Dong-gun was the first to step out and bow his head.

“Nice to meet you, Chief.”

“The village chief? Am I the village chief?”

“that….”

When Ha Dong-gun, slightly embarrassed by the expressionless face of his grandfather, blurted out his words, the grandfather reached out his hand first.

“Water was still a problem, but thank you for coming.”

“Oh, those are not from us.”

“What?”

Grandpa looked again at the supplies in the warehouse and asked.

“Then where did all this win come from?”

“Those are all Jaehyun-nim’s abilities. We are the people who came here at Jaehyun Kim’s request.”

“What, what? Jaehyun?”

Grandpa opened his eyes wide and continued.

“Is this the Jaehyun Kim I know? our grandchildren?”

“Yes, that’s right. Jaehyun Kim, who lives in an apartment in Seomyeon.”

“Oh, you mean our Jaehyunie is alive?”

Ha Dong-gun nodded and replied.

“of course.”

Hearing that, the old man hurriedly turned his back and said,

“Then follow me!”

“Yeah?”

The grandfather climbed up the root of the tree he was riding when he first appeared and gestured toward Ha Dong-gun and his party.

“Hey!”

Ha Dong-gun Party got up from his seat and climbed onto the root of the tree.

The roots of the tree that burned them immediately moved toward the World Tree.

Good Deuk-

At the same time my heart swelled with anticipation.

It was because I thought my mom, dad, and grandma would be waiting there.

There was no way to go to meet them yet, but it was an outpost, but it was from the thought that once it was completed, it would be possible to visit the home directly using the Absolute Door skill.

Then I remembered the system message that came to my mind when I met my grandfather earlier.

[Conditions have been met.]

[‘Outbuilding’ is added to the list of constructable items.]

hit. The construction list was newly created.’

As soon as I met my grandfather, an item called ‘Block House’ was created.

After releasing the Absolute Eye for a while, I went straight to construction mode to check its price and effect.

-Outbuilding (10,000,000,000 won)

＜＜Outbuilding＞＞

Safety zone installed outside the house,

It is proportional to the area of each corner of the house, and the area of the outbuilding also increases.

When {activated}, it temporarily exerts the same influence as the area declared in every corner.

However, it is {activated} only when there is a blood relative of the Absolute in each household.

The price was about 8 times higher than the outpost, but the point was that there was no explanation that it would be destroyed.

Unlike an outpost, it meant that once it was built, it could not be destroyed.

In addition, there was a construction subsidy of 10 billion won received while eating one apartment complex. Even after installing solar power generators in all buildings, more than 7 billion dollars remain.

It can be installed with an additional investment of 3 billion won.

And about 3 billion was no longer a burdensome amount.

‘Construct an outbuilding.’

When I decided to build it, the world tree and the range of outbuildings appeared blue under my feet. As much as it cost 10 billion won, the scope of the outbuilding was different from that of the outpost.

It was built in the shape of a dome with a scale of hundreds of meters even after covering the entire World Tree.

It was almost the same in shape and size as where I am, except for the capillary-like roads, and it was exactly that size.

‘Is it that the range of outbuildings increases in proportion to my growth? Not bad.’

With this level of performance, it could be said that it was a worthwhile investment of 10 billion won.

It was worth dozens of times more than an outpost with a limited scope.

‘I don’t need to worry about this.’

[This facility requires 1 blood relative of the Absolute in each household during the construction period (7 days).]

[Do you really want to install?]

[Yes No]

Yes.

Geeing-

[Time remaining until completion of outbuilding construction]

-167 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds

After confirming the omen that construction would begin, I went outside and activated the Absolute Eye again.

It was the moment I was about to ask my grandfather not to go out of bounds while the annex was being built.

[The vassals have encountered the blood relatives of absolutes in every corner.]

[The power of blood relatives is unlocked.]

Name: Minsim Kim (Lv. 21)

Chimho: [Blood Relatives] [Michon]

Reliability: 99

Awakening Ability: None

‘grandmother?’

I saw my grandmother lying on a stone bed in a familiar looking room.

It looked like he was just in a deep sleep.

If there was one thing that bothered me, it was that it was still a little early for sleep. In addition, my grandfather’s sad expression was making me anxious.

“Honey, you, listen to what you guys have to say.”

It seemed like the first time I’d ever heard my grandfather call his grandmother ‘Honey’ in such a soft tone.

The atmosphere was unusual.

ugh-

Following the grandfather’s hand, the green vitality was transmitted to the grandmother.

The vitality that started from the cheek encompassed the entire body of the grandmother and stayed for a while before being absorbed into the body and disappearing.

But Grandma seldom woke up.

And the grandfather continued to talk to himself as if he was used to this situation.

“Well, don’t you guys say that our Jaehyunie sent it? Jaehyunie is alive!”

I stared blankly at it and then used the communication ring.

[Ask your grandfather what happened.]

Eonju Oh said.

“Elder, Jaehyun-nim is curious about what happened.”

“Jaehyun? How does Jaehyun know?”

“Jaehyun-nim is sharing our eyes right now.”

It was slightly different from the truth, but I didn’t bother to correct it. Because I couldn’t afford to worry about such trivial things now.

Grandpa let out a big sigh and said:

“It’s okay. Jaehyun, isn’t there this old man next to the old woman?”

It was the first time I saw my grandfather’s grieving expression.

He was a grandfather who always had an expressionless expression on his face, but now he couldn’t help the rising sadness.

The distorted facial expression and trembling voice expressed the grandfather’s heart.

“Halmi was just a little bit shocked.”

Eonju Oh asked.

“Since when have you been unable to wake up?”

“…from that day.”

that day,

Grandmother had been asleep since the day the monsters appeared and the world started to fall apart.

“So tell me about our Jae-mi. Can you tell me a little bit about her voice through that smart phone?

Seeing the grandmother in a coma and the sad expression on her grandfather beside her made me shed tears for some reason.

Relief, sadness, resentment, fear, and anger not knowing who exactly it is directed at,

A whirlpool of indescribable emotions was running through his heart.

‘But, I’m glad he’s still alive.’

In addition, it was fortunate that I was able to take care of my grandmother who was in a coma with my grandfather’s awakening ability.

Although the grandmother had been in a coma for nearly a month already, she was healthy enough to look like she was just asleep.

It was all thanks to my grandfather’s ability.

‘Even if there was only a quest granted’

I could have improved my grandmother’s condition no matter how much money it took.

Blood relatives were not allowed to grant quests at all.

“Grandpa, can you excuse me for a moment?”

“What?”

“Because I have healing powers. Just in case it helps…”

Dajeong Kim came out.

“I will.”

After the grandfather’s permission fell, Kim Da-jung reached out to her grandmother.

ugh

Unfortunately, even Kim Da-jung’s heels could not improve her grandmother’s condition.

Then, all of a sudden, I noticed something strange.

The house was so quiet.

If there were people in the house, seven adult men and women had invaded the house, so they would come looking for curiosity, but no one came.

Obviously, by now, mom and dad should have come down from the second floor,

I asked anxiously.

[……..Oh Eon-ju. Could you ask my grandfather about my parents?]

“…All right.”

Oh Eon-joo heard my voice and cautiously asked my grandfather.

“Senior, by any chance, where are Jaehyun’s parents?”

“………”

The grandfather looked at Oh Eon-ju and asked.

“Did you say that Jaehyun is looking at you?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Then think about telling Jaehyun before you say it.”

I swallowed my saliva at that meaningful remark.

“Jaehyun. That day is the day my mom went to work. You and your dad also went out to earn money.”

what that means,

“Perhaps he’s a good hiding place. If you’re a father who can’t live without a mother, you wouldn’t have run to your mother right away. Maybe the two of you will meet and get along well.”

It has been roughly

Grandpa said he didn’t think mom and dad were still alive.

And I knew too.

That, unless at least one of the mother or father acquired transcendental abilities like the grandfather, the chances of both of them surviving were infinitely close to zero.

I knew.

but nonetheless.

[…Everyone, the next goal is Uihwang Nursing Hospital. It’s not too far from there, so could you start right away?]

There was no

I couldn’t give up

To grasp even the slightest possibility, even a straw.

“Jaehyun…”

I know it’s greed, but I couldn’t give up.

[no. First of all, you worked hard today, and it’s late, so it’d be better to sleep at my house and leave tomorrow.]

It was then.

[Detected the presence of a blood relative of the Absolute in every corner of the house.]

“yes?”

The ‘nearby’ that System Malim refers to is not near Ha Dong-gun’s party.

It was clear that he was talking about the area where I am, near the apartment complex.

‘no way?’

The ‘kinsmen’ are coming towards this place.

I couldn’t tell who they were without telling them.

‘It’s mom and dad.’

I couldn’t figure out exactly where.

however.

“Yejin!”

“Fishing, yes?”

“Command the rats around you.”

“What, what?”

“Find any survivors nearby. Right Now!”

I had the best skirmisher.

At the time when I was distracted by the sudden appearance of a blood relative, something strange was happening on the side of the home where Ha Dong-gun’s party was.

There was a loud knock on the iron door.

“Chief! Chief! It’s a big deal!”

The grandfather, who had heard it in the master bedroom, looked towards the front door, and the door opened and the man he had seen earlier entered.

“What’s going on?”

“I think you should come out and see it right now! A huge number of monsters are attacking!”

It was the beginning of the monster wave.
