Chapter 42 – Chapter 4-Why Doesn’t It Catch!!

In fact, I didn’t have much doubts about the shop window.

The world I am in is Moorim, so I wondered why there were so many things with fantasy-like explanations for anyone to see, but it was strange that I suddenly came to this world, so I thought it was not too strange that there was a shop window like this.

And to be honest, the fantasy side has a lot more useful stuff.

If I had only sold Murim’s goods, at most I would have sold only things like golden spears, martial arts level, and famous swords.

I can’t even learn martial arts myself, so at most I’ll buy it from a shop window and bring it back and sell it.

‘If I did, I wouldn’t have been able to get a cloak like this.’

How could he get a comfortable cloak from Moorim that covers his face and body, and has all the functions of keeping warm, waterproof, cold, and ventilated?

And the beginning of Bing. Before meeting Master, when I was possessed with this broken body, I lived by buying even the lowest-grade potions with points that I earned every day.

So it just vaguely ‘seems to be connected to the other world.’ I was living by passing it on..

“Why are there no answers?”

‘..What?’

It was like being connected to another world.

Come to think of it, there was something strange about it.

A vampire resurrected from a corpse. At least the martial arts I know don’t have anything like that.

It’s like a fantasy vampire.

“I’ll have to torture you…”

“Ah, I know! The original owner of this cloak!”

While my head was complicated for a moment, I almost got into trouble.

“How do you know he is the original owner of the cloak?”

“God of Heaven and Earth told me.”

“..Ha.”

The woman sighed again and scratched her head.

“If anything, the gods of heaven and earth are the gods of heaven and earth. It’s a very convenient excuse.”

“How do you know it’s true?”

“..It sounds like you’re answering honestly. It seems like the saying that you’re afraid of being sick is true.”

“Because I’m honest with my desires.”

Every time I encounter something unexpected like this, I realize how difficult it is to not be able to see my future.

I’m not living this greedily for nothing.

Because I don’t know when I’ll be in trouble. It’s an extreme example, but it’s a life where you might have a heart attack while sleeping and die.

This is why I try to do most of the things I want to do at that time every day.

If I hadn’t drank despite the late hours yesterday, I would have felt a waste of that drink I couldn’t drink at this moment.

“..For someone who was abducted, he’s quite docile. I expected some level of defiance.”

“If I rebel, will you release me?”

“No?”

“Then you should just stay still. It won’t get any better if you try.”

As if she couldn’t refute my theory (?), She stood there without saying a word.

After a brief break, I started thinking about the question I had earlier.

Vampire. To be precise, vampires were also mentioned in the shop window.

Like the holy sword that pierced the heart of the Vampire Lord. There were things like that, but they cost a few thousand points to buy, so of course I couldn’t even think about it and didn’t even keep it in my line of sight.

‘Those who do not die’ are constantly mentioned in the shop window. And war with them.

As far as I can remember, the end of the war was written as a victory over the Lord of the Undying in the human camp.

Considering that vampires are one of the representative undead, I wonder if it has something to do with that war.

‘I don’t think it’ll be particularly helpful in the current situation.’

The pale skin of the woman in front of me and her red eyes naturally reminded me of a vampire, but I couldn’t be sure, and even if I knew the past of vampires, it didn’t seem to help now.

‘Ha..’

I wondered why this had happened and lamented my situation inside.

If we get out safely, we should consider just going back to the mountains.

‘The sky is like a dog..’

I cursed the sky in my heart and prayed for some kind of miracle to happen.

If Shin So-jeo didn’t suffer as well, he’d probably be looking for me diligently.

..Maybe.

“Damn it. You barely escaped.”

Mardin, who failed the operation for the absurd reason of changing the location of his first and last name, returned to his laboratory nervously shaking off his dusty cloak.

The sword masters of this world were able to escape thanks to their lack of knowledge about vampires. Even if she knew a little about vampires, it would have been impossible to escape like this.

The ability to turn into a bat or the ability to turn into fog was a skill beyond common sense that was hard to imagine in midfield.

“Hey, bring the blood!”

Although he lost one member of his family during this operation, it was okay as there was still one left.

Anyway, the most important thing to Mardin was his life, so he didn’t care what happened to his family.

At his command, a woman hurriedly ran up to him and handed him some of her blood, which she had previously stored.

Mardin sat in a chair and drank blood, recalling what had just happened.

“A barely human subject… How dare you make this body run away…”

The fact that he was weak and strong as a human didn’t matter.

“What happened to the human being held hostage? Did you open your mouth?”

“Yes. Unfortunately, it seems that the party went around without knowing that they were swordsmen, and I found out what else you were curious about.”

“Yeah, how many tortures did you do? How much blood did you take? Are you sure you’re alive?”

Of course, I thought that he would not open his mouth, so I thought that torture would come and go.

“They didn’t torture me. They just opened their mouths.”

“…?”

Mardin, who had only learned how to get information from humans in his life through brainwashing and torture, was in a panic.

“Have you been brainwashed? I’m sure you’re not at that level yet?”

“I didn’t do anything. He said he didn’t like being sick and just told me everything.”

“..Well, he must have been a weakling. So, where did you say he got that cloak?”

“It is said that the God of Heaven and Earth gave it to you.”

“…What else is that?”

As the woman sighed inwardly, she conveyed to him the will of the gods of heaven and earth.

“You’re like a god in this world.”

To the vampires who were defying death, God was only an adversarial relationship after all.

“Then you could say he’s a priest-like guy.”

A priest is a being who follows and spreads the will of the god of this world.

Mardin thought so.

‘What the hell is the god of this world doing…’

Even so, there was still a question as to why the priests of the gods of this world were using the cloak of the hero who slaughtered their own people in the previous world.

The woman hurriedly opened her mouth, wondering how to interpret his concerns.

“Master. He’s still valuable as a hostage, so I think it’s premature to kill him. He’s a character who has a lot to do with the swordsman.”

“Didn’t he say that he didn’t even know the identity of the swordsman? Is there a possibility that they just met by chance?”

“Then it won’t be too late to go and kill him then. But he might be a worthy figure now.”

“But..”

He is a human who can use a flying sword.

It will definitely become an obstacle to conquering this world later.

I don’t know the exact relationship yet, but maybe he would make a decent hostage.

“Then I need to get some information from him now.”

Mardin went with her woman to the place where her man was captured.

He said he gave out all the information without torture, but it was superficial after all.

There was no surer method than his brainwashing.

Mardin thought so, but

“..Why don’t you get it?”

“Hehe… Master…”

“And what has this guy been talking about since earlier…?”

Oddly enough, he didn’t get brainwashed.

Thinking it might be the effect of the hermit’s cloak, I put my hand on his head, but it still bounced off without proper brainwashing.

He couldn’t take off his cloak.

Because it contains the magic power of Hermit, who obsessively tried to hide his appearance, the cloak does not reveal his face unless someone with superior skills interferes with the magic circuit or forcibly removes it with overwhelming force.

Unfortunately, Mardin did not have both of the above abilities.

“I’m sure there’s no resistance from the body…?”

At first, I thought it was the reaction of the divine power, but the priests of this world were unusual, and I couldn’t find his brainwashing and resistance energy in his body.

In other words, he was now resisting the vampire’s brainwashing purely with his resistance.

So were the drugs.

“Why!! Why did everything bounce off!! Why!!”

“Gee, calm down, Master.”

“I’d rather understand if you resist with magic or divine power! What the hell is this?!”

The drugs didn’t work at all, just like the brainwashing.

He was a kind of human being for the first time.

Midnight. A small house in the mountains.

“Yes..”

Yooseong narrowed his eyes with his top half disheveled.

“Master…? What are you doing there?”

He questioned the master he thought was sleeping next to him and opened his mouth, but

– Pod

“Zzz..”

I fell asleep with a strange light.

It was a daily life in a peaceful forest.
