Chapter 556 – IF I Am Alone in Another World 42

Kirin of alchemy. After she entrusted her potion research to Noah Mellie, she realized something.

She was a bully.

“Oh, I need the upper body of a monster that only appears on the fiftieth floor! The other parts are fine, but the disgusting thing that only grows on the back of the neck…”

“Oh, and I have to buy a lot of other materials, but if I buy them at retail, it costs more, so I think it will cost 500 gold for everything…”

“Should we make a special potion just for Mr. Dojin? To do that, you need blood, so please give me just one drop of blood.”

That too is ridiculous.

Of course, it’s true that she asked first, but it still has its limits. She asked me to do everything to the point where I thought she had no shame.

Her attitude literally seems to be that she will only focus on what she creates. Do-jin, who saw that, burst into laughter and gave her everything she wanted.

“I’ll get you the ingredients for the monsters that appear on the 50th floor right away. “How much is it?”

“The more… Good!”

“Okay, then a lot.”

Dojin made that promise and immediately left the street of the workshop. Her skills themselves were real. What remains now is whether her skills are as good as her expectations.

She may have deceived herself and asked her teacher, but in that case, if she asks the person called her teacher, it will be a one-shot thing, so it is probably not the case.

There was a high possibility that her skills were real, which meant that it would be possible to create the potion that Dojin requested.

‘Is this a potion that can survive even if your limbs are cut off and your internal organs spill out? …’

Even on modern Earth, where medical science has advanced to an unprecedented level, this is something that is close to impossible. If surgery was performed immediately after it was cut, it would have been difficult to repair it after a long time.

Although fantasy priests can regenerate such injuries, such treatment is meaningless unless the priests actually enter the dungeon.

What good is it if treatment is available in [Village]? It is only meaningful if treatment is possible within the [Dungeon].

‘If you think about it as a game, it’s like returning to the village every time you get hurt in the deepest part of the dungeon… There’s no way you can progress through the dungeon that way.’

His goal was ultimately the deepest part of the dungeon. So, it is the end point of a dungeon that rises to the sky. It is rumored to be at the end-.

Not the legendary treasure O, which is everything in the world.

It’s not like Dagonbol, which is said to grant any wish.

Dojin’s goal was the right to wish for one wish to God.

‘I don’t know if it’s real or not.’

It didn’t really matter.

The reason why Dojin set the wish-gwon, that is, the end of the dungeon, as his goal was because he wanted the act of aiming for something, not the wish-gwon.

When I fell into this world, I longed for the peaceful 21st century… Now, after a few months of living here, no nostalgia for Earth comes to mind.

On the contrary, I felt fortunate to have fallen into another world. So much so that I feel sorry for my father, who is stuck on earth and silently swings his sword.

This world was like heaven to Dojin.

* * *

“Hmm… “I think this month’s repayment is a bit lacking.”

“S-sorry-! I’ll do whatever it takes, so please save your life… !”

“No, it’s done. It would be rather foolish to cut off one’s head with this much difference.”

The lord smiled and answered like that. The merchant who heard those words smiled brightly.

That was a mistake.

“—I will take everything you have. Everything from the top to the house, land, wife and daughter. “You will live as a slave.”

“W, my lord!? W-what is that-!?”

“Take him.”

“Yep!”

“My lord! Please forgive me just once! “My lord!”

Without even paying a glance to the merchant who was being dragged by the guards, the lord checked the taxes collected this month.

‘It’s 30% more than last month… But is it still dangerous?’

The reason why the lord took such a sudden action to collect taxes was simple. This is because he was also forced to pay taxes by the ‘top’.

Right in the castle of the kingdom.

There was no option to ignore the command, lock the castle gate, and protest. If he did something like that, the kingdom’s Royal Guard would immediately come to destroy his territory.

‘Suddenly collecting taxes like this… Is it war?’

In his opinion, the reason why the capital suddenly raised money like this was very simple. It was war.

Well, isn’t there a dungeon in the kingdom that can be said to be the greatest mine on the continent? A dungeon that does not exist in the empire, the holy country, the demi-human union, or even in a foreign country in the far east.

To begin with, it was absurd for a kingdom whose national power was not that strong to have a dungeon. It was surprising that it had not been taken away until now.

‘I think I’ve blocked it well so far.’

I don’t know what went wrong, but I started to feel the flow of war. The lord looked through his account books to prepare for the worst.

To see if there is any room left where I can steal the remaining repayment.

* * *

One day, we completed the dungeon and shared the settlement money. Dojin received a personal call from Sayoung.

Since this happened all the time, I thought it was a request to relieve heat today as usual, but surprisingly, it wasn’t such a request.

“Where do you want me to go with you?”

“Ok. Since I was talking about you, there was someone who wanted to see me.”

“Who is it?”

“My master… Should I say that? “There is someone like the godmother who taught all the beast people.”

The teacher who taught-.

Dojin glanced Sayoung up and down. Looking at her usual behavior, she didn’t seem to be a teacher who taught culture or etiquette. She was probably a teacher of some kind of martial art commonly used by the beast people.

If so, Dojin was also interested. Because martial arts in this world have always been an illusion. Isn’t there some part of Sayoung’s swordsmanship that can be copied and used in many ways?

‘My sword is a sword made in a world where there were no superhumans.’

Of course, assuming that the two people had similar physical abilities, it was true that his swordsmanship was superior. But what about when dealing with enemies below a certain level?

Dojin still can’t forget Sayoung’s swordsmanship, in which he ripped off the heads of dozens of orcs with a single swing of his sword. He couldn’t do something like magic with the swordsmanship he had learned.

In other words, the swordsmanship of another world was not something to be looked down upon as uncivilized.

“Good. Why don’t we go on a date?”

“Well, it’s not a date!? What nonsense… !”

“Okay, okay, date.”

Dojin burst into laughter and said that. Although Sa-young was upset at the sight of him making fun of her, Do-jin slyly escaped the situation.

“So you’re not doing it today?”

“… I will do it!”

‘Ah, this is what I’m doing.’

In the end, Do-jin, who was unable to prevent Sa-young from attacking him even the day before he went on that damn date, faced the next day with all his vitality drained.

Even though Sayoung looked like she couldn’t possibly be seen as going to meet someone she knew, Sayoung didn’t care much and headed to Hoyeonggwan with Dojin.

“… “Where?”

“The dojo run by the master I told you about. In fact, it’s a fake that only looks good, but… Master!”

The moment she arrived at her ho-yeon, Sayoung screamed with her lungs full of air. The sound resonated so loudly that it seemed like it could echo throughout the entire Dungeon Command.

And after a while, a woman wearing a loose-fitting uniform inside the dojo cried out! I kicked down her door and jumped out.

“It’s noisy… This is deafening. “What is it?”

“Master Hoyeon. This is Sayoung. As you said – I brought Do-jin.”

“Ah-your lover?”

“—Master, Master!?”

Sayoung, startled by Ho-yeon’s words, waved her hand and looked at Do-jin and Ho-yeon’s faces alternately, while Ho-yeon began to look at Do-jin’s face one by one.

“Hmm… “He’s not that handsome?”

“… “You are very rude when we first meet.”

“Why- is there a problem? “I saw a guy like my student getting caught by a wrong guy and getting dragged around, but you can’t even evaluate what kind of guy he is?”

“Well, I’ve never been too lazy!”

As misunderstandings and stigma continued to be added to Sayoung’s reputation, Hoyeon threw away a wooden sword from the training ground as if there was no need to talk at length.

Dojin, who naturally caught the wooden sword flying towards him, looked at Hoyeon as if asking what it meant.

“Well, skilled people like us can usually solve this once, right? “Do I need to talk at length?”

“… That’s true.”

“Director of Hoyeonryu, this is Hoyeon.”

“Reopening of the original prosecutor’s license. Dojin.”

“Head position? Your sword is the center? “What an arrogant name.”

“Let’s go and ask the person who made it.”

And I can no longer meet that person.

Because I am not from this world.

“─Okay, let me see how good your swordsmanship is.”

While Do-jin thought of a self-deprecating joke and chuckled, Ho-yeon, who took this as a laugh, quickly rushed towards Do-jin.

The first step is the representative technique of Hoenn-ryu, stepping on the ground-.

“Ah.”

Dojin sighed as he saw Hoyeon disappearing in an instant. She wasn’t surprised that her figure suddenly disappeared.

I was surprised because the techniques she used were so similar to techniques she knew herself.

“Oh my.”

Unfortunately for her, it was a technique that Do-jin was already familiar with. An old-fashioned technology that could only have been used in the past, during the Three Kingdoms period.

Naturally, it was one of the techniques that a genius from the era of Dojin surpassed long ago.

Tuk-.

“Huh?”

For a moment, Ho-yeon lost sight of Do-jin and tripped over his feet, and looked back at Do-jin as if he couldn’t understand. What did I just do?

“They say opposites connect… It looks like similar technology will eventually emerge here as well.”

Dojin couldn’t help but feel bitter and looked down at Hoyeon and gave that review.

That one word.

With just that one word, Hoyeon felt a humiliation he had never felt in his life.
