Chapter 447 – King Yan’s Disciple 4 (24)

In a world without cars, trains, or airplanes, you had to walk like this.

Although there is an incredible power called inner strength, in this world where scientific development is lacking, it is possible to make quite a lot of money by buying goods from other regions and then selling them in other regions.

This was usually the main business of the Han clan, and there was a time when this type of business was in trouble because it was outpaced by competition in scale.

‘It takes something special for the top to develop.’

I was thinking like that every time I was possessed, and I developed a bad habit.

‘You just have to go somewhere far away and rob them.’

It was good that if I decided to hide, no one could stop me.

No matter how you look at the peak expert guarding the warehouse, there is no way a flower garden expert will guard the storehouse.

‘I never thought strengthening Shadow Dive would be this helpful.’

I didn’t get it by possessing Cian Raven and raising the level of Shadow Mastery, but I got it through pharmaceutical possession, so I thought I’d try it again.

It is true that what I gained back then was quite helpful.

“Xian, this must be quite a time of patience for you, huh?”

As I was walking down the street, thinking about random things, Brother Siwoo spoke to me.

“It’s not bad to run on foot, but now I have to protect a lot of people.”

When I look back, I see carts carrying the ant monster’s luggage, as well as messengers and envoys, walking alertly and keeping a watchful eye on the surroundings.

Then I made eye contact with Shahemoth, who was sitting on the wagon, and Shahemoth shook his hand and whispered to me with a soulful sound.

(Master, I’m bored.)

(I can’t help it. I just went this time and I probably won’t have to do it again.)

I also thought about going to another area from Wuhan.

First, I had to fight to clear a quest that required me to kill a lot of enemies with the fire flame I received last time, but I neglected the quest a little.

Since we can make money so easily through theft, should we say that we have lost the motivation to do anything else?

However, it was unfortunate that here, even if you earned money, there was no place to spend it unless you had money.

A class that has fewer options to spend money on, such as buying a big house, buying new electronics, or pursuing hobbies.

As I continued walking down the street with that thought in mind, another group of merchants appeared on the other side.

Yeomyeomshingong (連炎神功). Presence detection.

I immediately sent out a ring of heat to check if there was something invisible in the group of merchants approaching from the other side.

The group of merchants on the other side, quickly swept by a ring of heat, were so clean that we didn’t have to pay much attention to them.

I guess it’s the same as saying that the road to the next village seems clean.

“I’ll be back in a bit. I’m staying in line.”

“I will.”

I drove the horse my older brother was riding and went to the top opposite.

Then, we greeted each other and chatted, making small talk by asking if there were any bandits on the way or if there were any problems in the village we were going to.

We exchanged necessary information and passed by the merchant on the other side, being careful not to bump into each other.

“Brother, is it usually like this?”

“If there is a stabbing every time, who will come and take the initiative? It is said that the number of half-hearted bandits has decreased because of the monster, so the path we are taking may be safer than we think.”

On the way to Hangzhou, Sanchae, who could not kill even a single hobgoblin, was completely finished.

We had to be more careful because the remaining mountain vegetables would be occupied by at least first-class and top-class bandits.

As the number decreases, the probability of meeting a bandit decreases, but the danger becomes stronger.

“For some reason, it seems infinitely safe.”

It seemed like I wouldn’t be able to meet that bandit.

*

‘That was my chance.’

I felt like I should have cleared the quest by killing numerous ant monsters.

The road to infinity was familiar to me as I had been there once with Master, so it wasn’t that special.

On the way, a few goblins came out, so I lightly killed them with my fists and put their bodies on the wagon.

It took quite some time to arrive at Wuhan, but I didn’t gain anything in the meantime.

‘Shall we stop by Zhuge Sega’s manor?’

Since the arrival time was a little late, it seemed that the master craftsman and the envoys should find a place to stay, rest for the night, and then go to the blacksmith shop where Mr. Kwak’s master craftsman was.

“Brother, I am trying to go to the manor of the Zhuge family, who were indebted to me when I stayed in Wuhan. What would you do?”

“Hmm… I think it will be helpful later if I get to know Jegal Sega. Okay, let’s go together.”

I took my little brother and Shahemos and headed to Zhuge Sega’s manor in Wuhan.

It was the same as when I stopped by before, and luckily the gatekeepers didn’t forget me either.

“Are you a small cooperative?”

“That’s right. You remembered it. Is Zhuge Zhou there?”

“Yes. Master Jang, Master Youngjae, and the young lady are also there. Ah. The young lady, Zhuge Seon, went to the Namgung family after that day.”

“I had plans to go to the Namgung family when I have time, so I guess I should go. This is my older brother, Han Si-woo, and this is… So-hye.”

After thinking for a moment about how to explain Shahemos, I just gave him his name.

Then Shahemos said, holding my pants tightly with a tearful expression.

“West…?”

“West… Hmm…”

“A Young master from Wuhan hummed…”

The gatekeepers felt embarrassed because they knew how often I visited Giru when I was training in Wuhan and what rumors the courtesans had spread.

From anyone’s perspective, Shahemos was a girl who had not yet grown up, so it was natural for her to be embarrassed when she called me ‘Master’.

“Sian, why can’t you tell me you’re your fiancee?”

At that time, Little Brother patted my back and said.

The commercial trip, which I gained nothing from, was a pretty big opportunity for Shahemos.

Despite her lack of growth, Shahemos, who still looks like a beautiful girl, quickly became friends with the people of the Han family, and she even started talking to her younger brother.

What should we do with Shahemos, who really took the place of youngest daughter-in-law?

“Yes, she is your fiancee. We have 10 years left.”

After stroking Shahemoth’s head and stopping his abominable tears, we entered the manor.

A familiar man appeared at the entrance, probably because he sensed a guest had arrived. It was Zhuge Jin-woo, who had almost killed me by sharpening his blade at me.

“Han Sohyeop. It’s been a while.”

“How have you been, Zhuge Xiaoxiao? I have some business to come to Wuhan, so I came to say hello.”

“I see. If you want to see Jangju and Jinseo, I will call you. Please follow me.”

“Yes. Thank you for doing so.”

I followed Zhuge Jin-Woo into the reception room.

Sibi brought me a simple pot and tea, and while I was eating it, my brother said to me.

“Well, isn’t there anything I need to be careful about?”

“Yes. I remember that Zhuge Jinshu Xiaoje was engaged to the King of Tao’s disciple.”

“It was like that. The best of Hubei, Zhuge Xian, is the Nangung family with the King of Swords, and Zhuge Jinseo, Soje, is the king of Dao… I can feel that the power of the three families is strong.”

“Even if it’s an arranged marriage, I think it’s good for the two of them because they have time to get to know each other by arranging it so quickly.”

In my opinion, the two couples didn’t get along that badly.

If you create an engagement relationship with two people of similar age and continue to see each other face to build intimacy, it will be helpful when you get married later.

“But you don’t have any intention of finding a partner?”

“What am I… Should I think about it after my brother gets married? It seems like your marriage is a long time away.”

Unlike his older brother, Giru is an open-minded person who goes out and has fun, so I thought he would find it well.

While they were chatting for a moment, Zhuge Seon-yu came in with her two nephews.

“Long time no see. Baekyeom Sohyeop.”

“It’s still an awkward nickname because I haven’t been able to leave a mark on the world since I got it. How have you been, Jangju?”

“It wasn’t bad. I was a little busy because of what happened that day, but I have some free time now.”

“This is my second older brother, Han Si-woo, and her fiancee, So-hye.”

“Nice to meet you. Prince Han Si-woo, and So-hye Sojeo. This is Jin-woo, Jin-seo, and their nephews.”

“This is Han Si-woo, the second son of the Han clan of the Red World. Nice to meet you.”

“This is Sohye.”

When I greeted the people of the Zhuge family and sat down, Zhuge Jinshu immediately asked me.

“Han So-hyeop, since you are engaged, have you hung up your hair now?”

“I was given permission to go until Sohye grew up.”

“Wow… Wow… How could a person…”

Zhuge Jin-seo looked at me like I was trash, and it was the same for Zhuge Jin-woo.

Zhuge Xuanyu was still managing her expression, but she was unable to completely hide her embarrassed appearance.

“So, what brought you to Wuhan, Han Xiao?”

“I came along because I was trying to help my family. I plan to hand over the corpse of the ant monster that appeared near the Red Realm to the craftsman who made me the gauntlet.”

“Ah. I heard that story. Furthermore, I heard that one small cooperative was quite active. Have you decided what to make of it?”

“I plan to make armor because the material is hard. Now that there are more monsters, it is important to have armor that can survive the monsters.”

My brother answered Jangju’s question.

This class rarely wore armor, except for government soldiers.

Experts used sword techniques that could even cut through armor, so mobility was important.

However, I discovered the possibility of satisfying both mobility and defense in the ant monster shell that I dried up, and decided to make it if I could.

“We are also interested in armor. There is a strong feeling that the monsters that have appeared recently are being held down by weight class.”

The conversation began to revolve around the two elders, and we drank tea while listening to the story.

When the story was over, I saw the quality of the armor and made a verbal contract to buy some from the Zhuge family, but I thought that using my brain was not for me.

On the way back to the dorm, my brother said to me.

“I heard that there is a courtesan in Wuhan that the bastard who tried to ruin us coveted. I would like to see her face.”

“The last time I saw you, you were pregnant, so it will be hard to see you at the stoma.”

“Really? That’s enough.”

Unlike my older brother who lost interest, I remembered the lotus painting of Hwaheeru and briefly glanced at the Giru over there.

Would it be a good idea to find out what’s going on? After a long time, I decided to put on a shadow at night.
