Chapter 28 – Chapter 6 (3)

Great~ awesome~
A pocket full of hermits is different from heaviness~

After treating Ha-yeon, he met with an apothecary merchant who was trying to get the remaining herbs urgently due to contract issues, and was able to sell them at a high price after being tough.

If you use this money as a bribe, it’s just a free pass for the guards.
What a lucky day.

“Hayeon. I’m here.”

As I opened the door, I called for Ha-yeon, who was waiting for me.
However, this house exudes a different atmosphere than before.
A chilly atmosphere in which human warmth has disappeared.

“Hayeon? Hayeonah?”

What? Where did you go?
Are you a warrior of the Jeongmu-maeng?
No, if that was the case, would Ha-yeon stay still?
It must have been a mess as they counterattacked right away.

Once dinner had begun, I lit a candle to light up the darkened house.

I waited a little longer in case something happened and it might be late.

However, no matter how much time passes, there is no sign that she will return.

Shit. Fuck. Wouldn’t it? Maybe it’s just late?

Thinking so, I belatedly checked the house and found a coin lying in front of the bed.

Why are there coins… No wait
The floor is slightly raised here.
In addition, coins placed as if to emphasize a specific place.
Something is here

When you push, pull, or apply force here and there, the floor slides in one direction, revealing an empty space.

As you can see, it is not a space created at once.
Wasn’t it a secret space that was originally in this house?
For example her wife made it to hide her money.

Anyway, when I checked inside, I found small wooden boxes with missing seals.

When I opened one, the refreshing smell flowed through my nose and all over my body, slightly stimulating my Danjeon.

“A demonic ring?”

It is the first time I have seen the elixir called the magic pill, but unless it is the magic pill that Ha-yeon mentioned, there is no way the elixir will suddenly appear here.

“Nine…”

The number of wooden ships was nine.
What’s the situation?
Ha-yeon said that there are 10 magic rings.
But there are 9 of them here.
If so, it means that you went to the safe house of the Demonic Cult and came back successfully.

“Oh fuck!”

My head is dizzy.
I feel impatient because Ha-yeon has disappeared.
Calm down me
First of all, I’m going to guess what happened here.

Let’s start with the given information.
1. Coins placed as if pointing to a hidden space
2. 9 Magic Rings inside
3. Im Ha-yeon disappeared

The fact that it is placed like a coin pointing to a secret space means that there is some room.

And the existence of the Demon Spirit Hwan means that she went to her safe house without being caught.

But Ha-yeon is gone.
She went to the safe house, but she has no reason to go out again.
If so, it means there is a situation where she has no choice but to leave.

What? How could such a situation be… Ah… !

“No way!”

I remembered the content of the conversation we had around lunch today.

-It’s time to escape, Jinrang.-
-The Church of the Heavenly Demons will never forgive traitors. Besides, he brutally kills everyone around him. If it’s to kill a single traitor, I won’t be afraid of a hundredfold damage.-
-Currently, the Heavenly Demon Church doesn’t know if I’m dead or alive. So now is the only chance to get out of the clutches of the Heavenly Demons.-

Okay. She was afraid of the Demonic Cult finding their whereabouts.

“Someone from the Demonic Cult found Ha-Yeon. But Ha-Yeon couldn’t resist him or her guys. Why? Why did she give up her escape after wanting to escape the Demonic Cult? Is,”

I rolled my eyeballs, desperately spinning her head.

“If there are too many to handle with one’s own power, or if a master stronger than himself comes. But the Demonic Cult was attacked by the Jeongmu-maeng. There won’t be a large number of survivors.”

Come to think of it, there was a time when she told her old story, and when she came to get the Heavenly Demon Sword, she said that she had come with Demonic Cult masters named Yeomma and Blood Biho.

Yeomma said she was a fat person she didn’t like.

“Blood Guard has come…”

Ha-Yeon is the guardian of the Demonic Cult, and when it comes to her simple strength, she is said to be a high-ranking member of the Demonic Cult.

If she is attracted to it, she must be a stronger master than herself.

And while Ha-yeon lied that she had brought a magic ring from her safe house…

“Fuck!”

Quaang!

By the time she regained her senses, she had already kicked and smashed the bed in front of her eyes.

“How dare you… Dragged my female…!”

To be precise, Ha-yeon was worried about me, so she went back on her own.
But she goes back to a place she doesn’t like, but what if she’s not being dragged!

I feel dirty.
My bitch is supposed to be protected by me, but she was rather protected.
Why did she make that choice?

“Because I am weak.”

Okay. Because I am weak
Because I was weak, she was worried about me and dragged herself away.

“Kuh…Kkuhhhhh!”

A laugh comes out of her mouth.
I don’t even know why I’m laughing.
However, this is not a laughing matter because it is funny.
I’m so angry, so angry, it’s like my head is temporarily damaged from a fever.

“Yeah. To be honest, I didn’t have a sense of goal that I ‘must’ be strong.”

It’s very well done.
The existence of the guys who made me so angry.

I packed all the wooden boxes of the demon spirits that Ha-yeon had left behind in the same bundle.

This is not the time to play around and spend leisurely time.
Be strong.
I must become strong and bring back my female.

Magyo. To be honest, I have nothing to do with whether you conquer the midfield or not.

To be honest, joining the Demonic Cult was an option rather than going to an outdated religious sect.

But isn’t dragging my bitch too much?

“Wait, Demonic Cult.”

I will make you feel deeply who you touched and what you dared to do.

Just in case, I kept waiting, hoping that all of this was my mistake, but Ha-yeon didn’t come back until morning.

I packed my things and went out.
The target is the fireman’s hideout.

“It makes me regret setting myself on fire.”

From now on, I will start training only to become stronger.
Just hearing the name Jincheon from the Demonic Cult guys makes you urinate.

*        *

2 months later.
Deep in the Jinryeong Mountains, where there is no human trace.

“Ahhhhh! Navigation or map is wrapped around and finally found a hideout of chemicals!”

A man who had become an old man, Jincheon, screamed into the air.

“Others give you a mini-map when you move to the game world! A status window! They even give you a level-up system! You guys don’t give out a common thing like that, bastards!”

The hideout of the chemical industry he found out was a satellite map obtained after searching on the Internet and a rough topographical feature.

Of course, Jincheon, who had to rely only on that faint memory without a map or navigation, was under all kinds of stress trying to find the hideout of the chemist.

It would have taken 4 months instead of 2 months if it had not been for the explosive growth of internal energy by absorbing the 9 Demonic Spirit Rings left by Im Ha-yeon.

Jincheon, who had been screaming from the inside of the cave where a person could enter, sat down casually after checking the traces of the person remaining in the cave.

“Whoa. Whoouk. Let’s rest for a while. Let’s see. Whoa.”

Two months of walking around the mountains all day using light air.

It’s fortunate that I remembered roughly where I was in the Jinryeong Mountains through the Internet, but if I didn’t know, it wouldn’t be strange if it took several years.

There were traces of people inside the cave, but since it had been 200 years since the chemist died, it was a mess with thick dust and round objects here and there.

Once he caught his breath through the breakfast, he immediately went to the blacksmith shop.

It was a natural procedure because in order to open the warehouse of the chemist, you had to use a certain amount of internal energy while making weapons through the smithy.

The problem is,

“…What is this? It doesn’t have any minerals.”

There are tools.
The tools handmade by the painter for their own use are in such good condition that they can be used right away despite the passage of 200 years.

But there are no minerals.
There is no metal smelting minerals.

Jincheon checked the hideout of the chemist a bit more.

It was a very large cave for one person to use, but most of the space was filled with spaces for blacksmiths.

“Is this a warehouse?

Unlike other places, I found a wall with the characteristics of a door.

Thump.

Just in case, I tried to hit him with his fist a few times, and Jinchun had an absurd expression on his face.

“Yeombyeong. Only this thing is a wall, isn’t the inside metal? It’s a very hard guy too.”

I don’t know who will come this far, but according to the setting, the chemist was extremely averse to someone stealing his stuff.

So the way to open the warehouse was unique, and the strength of the warehouse door was also made very solid.

It is impossible to open by force.
Judging like that, Jincheon checked another passage located inside the cave.

“If?”

The chemist took shelter in a place with a vein of superior quality.
If so, that place must be where the ore vein is located.

Jinchun didn’t know what was inside, so he grabbed his sword and went inside.

There were torches that could be lit at regular intervals, so Jincheon made a fire and moved it to the torch to brighten the interior.

“I dug it all the way.”

Inside the vein where there are traces of digging up the vein here and there.

“I said this when I was playing Marx Craft.”

As he dug only the ground with usable ore, Jincheon continued to explore the cave, reminding himself of the underground scene where rats had eaten holes here and there.

“Whiyu.”

Going so deep inside, I found minerals that were less likely to be mined by the chemist.

When I was writing the character, I could feel it instinctively because I raised Mining to the highest level.

The quality of the minerals in this place is very good.

And it is a hypothetical mineral that exists only in this world, and there were white iron ore, hematite, and red iron ore, which are harder than iron.

Chemicals have been using the characteristics of these minerals to create new recruits.

“Uh?”

When he reached the end of the cave, Jincheon was able to find bones in the shape of a human being.

What stood out was the red pickaxe he was holding in his hand.

‘Is this a chemist?’

Jincheon was convinced that the chemist had come all the way here to dig veins and died at the end of his lifespan.

‘To die while digging up minerals until the very end, you’re a natural blacksmith.’

He put his sword in and carefully lifted his skull.

From now on, I will have to mine mine myself, because every time I see a skeleton, I feel like I’m going to get dirty.

Coming out of the cave, Jincheon threw the skeleton away with all his might.

Digging the ground to make a grave?
He’s a human he doesn’t even know his face anyway, so why would he do such a bothersome thing?

“This could be put to good use.”

Jincheon held up a pickaxe made of red iron ore toward the flying skeleton and announced that the owner of this place had changed to himself.

“Originally, I’d just enjoy it in moderation.”

Lim Ha-yeon’s disappearance was a good stimulus to Jin-cheon.
This Murim is a place where the weak are taken away by the strong.
Having his woman taken away by a strong man called Ma Gyo, he felt the sadness of the weak.

“I will definitely make you regret it. So that you can feel the cost of daring to steal my female!”

Jincheon put the pickaxe on his shoulder to collect the basic material, minerals, and headed inside the cave.

Unlike other masters of martial arts, he thought of possible methods because he was a modern man, but the most important thing was to digest chemical research as his own.

How to apply when the foundation is strong.

Jincheon gritted his teeth to get the basics of chemical engineering.
