Chapter 13 – Chapter 2 – Vampire

“Are you a vampire?”

In the conversation I had with Dang Ah-young at the inn over dinner, a word I was familiar with came out and I asked back without realizing it.

“Yes. Vampire. As the name suggests, it’s a rumor about a monster who kills people and takes all of their blood. The first rumor started spreading about a month ago.”

“Hmm..”

– Sluruk

Now, it may be a nickname coined by people in the midfield, but from my point of view, it is a very familiar word.

After all, they are regular customers who appear everywhere in games, movies, and novels.

If this was a fantasy world, it wouldn’t be strange to have such a vampire.

‘Wasn’t this Murim?’

Why are there vampires in Murim?

Maybe he’s just a bad person or someone who has learned some kind of martial arts.

No, there is no such thing as a vampire in the yard where there are shops connected to the possessor and fantasy?

Anyway

“So, a subjugation party was formed to subdue him… I was also included in that group.”

“Are you Sojeo?”

“You look at me so easily, so I’m a better person than you think?”

Certainly a great person was right.

One of the best late exponents of our time.

“But aren’t there many other masters in Seomyeon?”

“Ah. It’s because there’s not just one vampire. The same phenomenon is happening in other regions too… I’m going to be one of them. It’s just that the estimated inaction is first-rate.”

“Aha.”

Still, there were still a few doubts about Dang Ah-yeong’s joining the punitive force.

It was difficult to say that her personality, as seen so far, was just as righteous.

He’s not the kind of person who knows how to roll a calculator for his own benefit and scatters unpaid favors here and there.

He seems to be basically a good person, but he’s not a person with a sense of justice.

“Does the reward seem quite generous?”

“Whoops.”

Sure enough, he didn’t join the punitive force just out of a sense of justice.

“The Moorim Alliance promised a fairly generous reward. And after dealing with these things, reputation naturally builds up. It will go up.”

“Aren’t there many other late indexes?”

“That’s right, the martial arts of our Sichuan Tang Dynasty specialize in subduing or killing opponents without hurt. The purpose of the Murim Alliance is not simply to subdue vampires. I’m thinking of researching whether it’s a remnant of a blood religion that was destroyed 20 years ago, or something related to it. .”

“Ah.”

When I thought about it like this, it made sense.

It was a human body study, so I felt something uneasy, but this is the world originally.

I heard that they are particularly sensitive to traces of blood ties.

“Actually, personally, I don’t really think it has anything to do with the Blood Religion, but that’s not the point. It’s an opportunity for both pay and prestige, and who would say no?”

“Then, when are you going? You won’t have anyone to talk to for the time being, so you’ll be quite lonely.”

“Ah. You’re coming too.”

Oh, I’m coming too.

…

“Yes?”

What?

“Sojeo. No matter how much I learned some secret techniques from Sojeo, I can’t even deal with a third-rate samurai. But why am I there…”

“Of course, I don’t mean to blindly go with you. It’s a suggestion. Please read it first. It’s a letter from the head of this subjugation party.”

Dang Ah-yeong pulled out a piece of paper from her bosom.

I always wear a cape, but I always wonder how many places there are to hide things like memorization in that clothes.

‘Come to think of it, it seems that my clothes have become strangely thin these days.’

The clothes are thinner than when I first saw them.

It seems that the curvature of the body is revealed more than before.

It probably changed a little bit from about a month ago.

‘It’s not hot these days.’

Even on Earth, it’s hot in the summer, so I have no choice but to wear thin clothes.

Even Moorim seems to be no exception.

I’ve heard that warriors with a high level are resistant to cold and heat, but Dang Ah-young probably isn’t at that level yet.

“..I feel like I’m being rude. Is it because of my mood?”

“It can’t be.”

In fact, no matter what Dang Ah-yeong does, the fact that I can’t win no matter how hard I try doesn’t change.

“Well, let’s read it first.”

Dang Ah-young carefully read the paper she handed her.

How to check the original contract carefully.

By the way

“4 Nyang in gold for a 4-day schedule?”

“Is it salty?”

The pay was substantial.

The amount of money I earn per day is about 40 to 50 nyang, so it is more than twice the amount of income.

Still..

“Considering the risk, I don’t really like it. I don’t know why they’re taking me.”

Anyway, it’s a monster subjugation.

I don’t want to follow a third-class uninhabited island with a body that can’t win.

“The reason I’m taking you in the first place is to track the vampire with your divination.”

“What do you know as almighty?!”

“It can not?”

“It seems like it could be done, but…”

“What is it? Really?”

“You didn’t know, did you?”

Anyway, I don’t like it very much.

Even if you are not a direct combatant, safety is not guaranteed 100%.

4 gold is a very large amount of money, but it is not so big that you have to risk your life.

“Anyway, I don’t have much idea.”

“I changed the proposal for fear of saying no.”

Tang Ya-ying quickly took the paper in my hand and handed me a new one.

And what is different about this paper is that

“10 nyang?!”

“Is that enough to come?”

“Ughhhhh…”

It is 10 gold in 4 days.

‘With this money, alcohol…’

In addition to the usual taverns, you can also visit high-end taverns.

‘What kind of taste would the liquor I bought with 10 gold coins taste like?’

My mouth started to salivate.

The alcohol I usually drink costs about 30 nyang of hermit, at least expensive.

This is a sufficiently expensive drink, but it is inevitable as a weekly drinker to be curious about the taste of alcohol worth gold.

Or, you must have accumulated a lot of money. You can put a little bit into the shop window as points.

“But… Wouldn’t it be dangerous?”

The power in my voice has weakened a lot.

10 gold was that much money.

“Ah, I’m participating too. The other warriors are going too. If a battle breaks out, hide behind the warriors. I’ll tell you to protect them no matter what.”

“..Can I trust you?”

“Oh, and this is the information I got through my personal route. The manager of the subjugation party we’re participating in is a big drinker, so he keeps a lot of precious liquor..”

“Let’s go.”

It’s well worth the risk.

“Hehe, if you flatter yourself a little more, what might be worse?”

“There is only Sojeo per party. Meeting Sojeo is the greatest luck of my life.”

“…Even knowing that he’s flattered, it feels good.”

Dang Ah-yeong’s cheeks rose a little.

“The detailed schedule is written on paper, so you can refer to it.. I’ll leave today.”

“Already?”

“I thought if we stayed together a little longer, something big would happen…”

“Yes?”

“Oh, no.”

Dang Ah-yeong said so, and she left her inn in an instant.

“Is there something urgent?”

– Sluruk

Dang Ah-young was in a bit of a strange state these days.

.
.
.

When she returned to her shop after eating, a man like me, wearing a cloak, was standing in front of the shop.

“Hmm?”

It was unusual for him to turn his head precisely in my direction, as if he had sensed me even though he was still far away.

“Have you come to see fortune-telling?”

“Are you that faceless fortune teller?”

“It’s not my favorite nickname, but it’s true.”

“Oh, it’s amazing. I really can’t see his face.”

“Come in first. It’s okay to listen slowly.”

The voice was a woman’s.

I came into the store and sat the woman on a chair and I sat at the table across from her.

“Now. What did you come for? Let’s have a date? Love luck? Children’s clothes? Exams? Anything else is possible.”

“Rumors about his dragon spread to other regions, but isn’t it really wrong?”

“Ah… Unfortunately, that’s not the case. How dare a mere sorceress like me know the meaning of all the gods of heaven and earth. You can only see a part of it. But I guarantee you that it won’t be completely useless.”

“Hmm..”

A faint smile appeared at the corner of the woman’s mouth, visible from the inside of the cloak.

‘What?’

It was the first time I had such a reaction.

In the meantime, most of the reactions were to be disappointed or not to be humble, but such a meaningless smile was the first type of reaction.

“I like it. Okay. Did you say you can see anything?”

“I’ll try my best no matter what you ask for.”

“Then… Please take a look at my point.”

When I asked how great he was asking for something, he said it was just an ordinary thing.

You were just an unusual guest.

– Tak Tak Tak Tak

As usual, he took out eight wooden tiles and laid them out on the table.

“Balgwara.. It’s a classic method.”

“…”

Maybe it’s not just a strange person, but an unmanned person.

The energy that I can clearly feel is a complete normal person.

“..Now then..”

“If you don’t mind, can I touch your hand for a moment?”

“..Customer?”

“Oh, sorry. I was a little excited.”

What is this person really doing?

‘Under..’

If Dang A-yeong was there, I would have tried to get her out somehow.

Even though he learned the art of cancer, he didn’t want to attack a person presumed to be a Moorim person.

“Here. Let’s touch it for a moment.”

“Oh, thank you.”

She obediently offered her hand, and the woman began to touch mine.

It had the characteristic softness of a woman, yet it felt hard.

In particular, she could feel that her calluses were no joke.

‘I almost got fucked if I rebelled.’

She was relieved that she hadn’t tampered with her, and by the time she wondered how long she’d be touching her, the woman opened her mouth.

“Have you ever studied under any school?”
