Episode 5
Regardless of what was going on, those who attended the meeting took their seats with smiles on their faces.
The atmosphere was friendly as they exchanged greetings and well-wishes, using the disaster that had happened so far as a topic.
Until the beginning.
As the meeting progressed and full-fledged discussions began, a breathtaking battle of wits began.
Be wary of raising a topic first and then being dragged into it by the other person.
No matter what it looks like, it is essentially an act of invading Korean territory.
The last thing anyone in this room wanted was to hastily speak up on such a sensitive issue and end up as a target for moral criticism.
“I’ll stop talking about the trivial things here. “Let’s stop wasting time when everyone’s goal is obvious.”
However, there are bound to be some people who do not pay attention.
The person who spoke confidently was the representative of China.
“To be honest, I am very uncomfortable in this atmosphere. Korea has been China’s neighbor for a long time. But even the Americans, British and Arabs. “It’s extremely ugly to see them swarming around like maggots swarming around rotten meat.”
The atmosphere immediately became tense after hearing the Chinese representative’s words.
Because he spoke arbitrarily without having the right to speak, voices of protest erupted from all over.
If it had been through an interpreter, the content would have been purified and it would have been better, but the smooth communication caused by the communication defect actually became toxic.
Eventually, when a commotion broke out, the Korean representative who chaired the meeting quickly stood up and began to mediate.
“Chinese representatives, please be careful about the level of your remarks. “Do you mean that the Chinese representative has a different opinion on proceeding with the discussion regarding this dungeon?”
“Not at all! Of course, that dungeon should belong to the People’s Republic of China!”
The expression on the Korean representative’s face, who was expecting him to say, ‘It’s not right for other countries to talk about it when it’s a Korean dungeon,’ changed to ‘Of course, that’s right.’
“In the first place, it makes no sense for a small country like Korea to own the only dungeon in the world. “It is something suitable only for China, a large country.”
Everyone made a bewildered expression at the shameless sound. Among them, there were people shaking their heads.
“Since ancient times, when Joseon brought something good, it was offered as tribute to the older brother country, so it is a deep-rooted tradition. “Don’t you think that this gift will strengthen the relationship between China and Korea?”
The Korean representative seemed distraught at the sudden treatment of the country as a dependent country, even mentioning its old name.
But it was still too early to lose consciousness. Japan intervened.
“Hmm, I heard that the dungeon is near Takeshima, and that area is also owned by Japan. It’s not owned by Korea. Japan also has the right to decide on this dungeon.”
Please go away.
The Korean representative felt the urge to lecture in detail about the reasons why Dokdo is Korean territory.
But this was a clever attempt to obscure Japan’s essence.
If you fall for that trick, there is a risk that the dungeon negotiations will end up in vain.
These bastards aren’t doing this in cooperation with China, are they?
While the Korean representative was boiling inside, the American representative, who had been silent so far, spoke up.
“I can’t sit still because China is citing its relationship with Korea. The United States is Korea’s strongest ally. And what you said clearly amounts to a statement about Korea’s territorial aggression. “If they try to take something from Korea, they will have to deal with us, Korea’s allies.”
I was so moved to hear something like this while I was only hearing nonsense with no answer.
If it had just gotten to that point, it would have been really touching, but unfortunately there was more to it.
“So, the dungeon is a problem that will be resolved if we, our friendly country, and Korea deal with it through consultation. “Don’t you think so?”
The Korean representative wanted to close his eyes at the sight of the American representative squinting at him.
Did I just take your side? So, you too, take my side. Otherwise it wouldn’t be fun?
Well, it was a threat with good words.
“This is not a matter to be decided unilaterally. “Isn’t that why the meeting was held like this?”
While Korea was at a loss, unable to do one thing or another, the representative of the European Union poured cold water on the heated battle.
They didn’t like the atmosphere around it.
They came up with justifications such as being a neighboring country or a friendly country, and then framed it as a three-way war by citing the existing relationship with Korea, which made them nervous.
Compared to them, countries that did not have any significant relationship with Korea seemed likely to be excluded from the game if they remained silent.
“That’s right. Didn’t you originally form an alliance and decide to use the dungeon according to the rules of that alliance? “I thought it was a meeting to set the rules, but when I heard it, it was really shocking.”
The British representative made a polite comment.
However, they were not the ones to be discouraged by hearing such advice.
The moment each of them opened their mouths to say a word, a foreign voice flew in.
“I know. “It’s really shocking to hear.”
People who followed the sound and turned their gaze froze.
“It’s all you…”
I heard someone muttering from behind, whose face I recognized.
Son Mo-ah.
The hunter who closed dungeons, slaughtered boss monsters, and was called the king in the system.
Everyone thought Son Mo-a might appear here. I thought I didn’t know, but I didn’t expect that she would actually appear.
Moreover, the atmosphere was very different from what I had seen in the materials.
In the photo, she had a gentle appearance, as if she would become obedient if I just scolded her, but when I met her in person, I felt like I couldn’t breathe. ‘What is this
? ‘How intimidating?’
In a tense atmosphere, the hunters who were there for security belatedly exchanged glances.
However, the exchange of glances could not lead to action.
The moment one of the hunters was about to move, an intense killing spree erupted from Son Mo-ah’s side.
Everything was pitch black . He was wrapped in a robe, so he couldn’t see his exact appearance, but from the eerie black energy spreading out, it seemed like he was Seo Ji-han. Son Mo-ah’s group consisted of five
people in total, and they were all wearing strange-looking black robes. The
hunters were spitting . I swallowed and wondered what kind of item that robe was.
“If you want to participate in this meeting, you must first acknowledge that you have arbitrarily and illegally occupied humanity’s property and return the dungeon to everyone.”
The British representative was inwardly very agitated by Son Mo-a’s appearance, but he forced himself to remain calm and spoke. However, he could not help but feel that his voice was shaking slightly. “Yes!
And you also have to pay compensation for the damages for the dungeons that you have closed so far!”
The Chinese representative suddenly shouted with such force.
Everyone in the room looked shocked and came to their senses at those words.
Come to think of it, the hunters in front of us were terrorists who did not know the value of the dungeon and were recklessly closing it down.
These crazy people are the last remaining precious people. Thinking that they might even try to destroy the dungeon, urgency appeared in people’s eyes:
“Explain in detail to everyone what has happened so far!”
“Isn’t that predator thing actually your fault?”
“I heard that you knew in advance that monsters would come out of the dungeon. I need to explain what this has to do with it!”
“That’s right. You took the information about our dungeon, saying that everyone would die, but in the end nothing happened. You fooled us!”
Each person began to talk loudly.
Despite Son Mo-a’s overwhelming intimidation, he was not particularly scared.
Many of these representatives were participants in the conference held shortly after the Hall of Finality, so they had the same impression as they had when they had met in the past. It seemed like they would remain.
At the time, Son Mo-a showed a fairly cooperative attitude and showed common sense. There
was a secret belief in their hearts that they would not go out like that this time as well.
That was the root of this recklessness.
Everything they said. Son Mo-a listened quietly.
Although he did not eat the fruit, he acquired the management authority over everything he owned by receiving the Earth as a reward. Thanks to this,
Son Mo-a was able to communicate with the monsters who had taken over the dungeon and made him his subjects. As I said, I understood everything they said.
“Is it the property of mankind?”
After a long silence, Son Mo-a opened her mouth.
Because it was the king’s words, the voice cut through all the noise and reached their ears.
People flinched at the strangeness, but when they saw Son Mo-a smiling softly, they regained confidence.
However, their hands were shaking . There was.
As if denying all the logic in my head, my body rushed towards its survival instinct.
Every strand of my nerves was sounding an alarm at how dangerous the person in front of me was.
“Why do you think that?”
The question that followed was in a softer tone than expected.
Even in the midst of anxiety, people were encouraged again by Son Mo-ah’s response, which was not as hostile as expected.
It was the representative of the European Union who answered.
“I told you not. The Earth is everyone’s. The Moon and Just as the stars have no owner, the new possibilities created on Earth also have no owner. When every country has a dungeon, each owns it, but if there is only one, it is the legacy of the entire Earth. And you, who have eliminated the dungeons in each country so far, are also responsible for it. ”
As he spoke, the European Union representative, perhaps embarrassed himself, slipped in an excuse for himself at the end. It
was Ban Seo-jin, who was standing next to him, who responded.
“You make it plausible to commit robbery?”
“Isn’t it funny?” Ban Seo-jin added briefly, barely audible. He narrowed his eyes and glared at the audience.
“That’s it.”
As Son Mo-ah dissuaded Ban Seo-jin in a soft voice, people looked relieved and said, “That’s right.”
In that atmosphere, Son Mo-a continued,
“There is some truth to what you said. Then, please give it back to you too.”
What?
Everyone’s mind was filled with puzzlement.
