Chapter 1677 – [A Guide for Families Who Travel Across Dimensions]

Putting aside the commotion caused by Lulu and the unicorn, we decided to enjoy our intended picnic. And while they were preparing, Eden and Keter communicated with the unicorn separately, clearing Lulu’s suspicions.

“Purrrr!!!”

“Lulu, you are a virgin, but apart from that, the smell of blood is so strong that I don’t like it.”

[Even though she is a virgin, I think you hate her because she is bloody?]

“Look!!!!!!”

In the end, Lulu’s innocence… Or is it innocence? Anyway, it has been proven. It doesn’t mean anything to me because I didn’t suspect it in the first place and I didn’t really care about it.

First, enjoy the picnic. We set up a separate mat and enjoy the scenery while eating dishes brought in from Horizon. The lake water here is so clean and clear that even if you just drink it, it will feel as cool as ice.

“Unicorn, do you want to eat an apple?”

“Hee!!!”

The unicorn also ate the apple in a hurry, perhaps because he was tired after playing with Lulu or because Eden gave it to him. It seems like I am eating it with excitement as I put it in my mouth and chew it, which is quite large.

However, if you look at it, there are creatures like these spirits and divine beasts, and people live quite well, but they don’t seem to have developed much.

“While drawing up a map of this place, I also figured out the language. I think they probably use Chinese characters and similar Chinese characters.”

“No, it’s hard to learn because there are so many…”

To do basic communication in Chinese characters, you need to learn at least 1,000 characters. That’s how difficult it is to learn the slogan.

It’s a bit of a waste to learn all of it just to use it here for a moment… I think I’ll just have to figure out how to make it work and skip writing for now.

“First of all, it’s similar to Chinese, so if you’re good at it, you’ll be able to converse.”

“Then I’m glad.”

The beautiful natural scenery, delicious food, and even good alcohol made it enjoyable in itself. The wind was cool and refreshing, so it was worth going out for a picnic.

Eden finished a lot of the dishes he brought and started playing with the unicorn. Just like Lulu did, get on the back of the unicorn and run over the lake.

“Let’s go!!!! Slow dancer!!!!”

“Purrrr!!!!”

“It’s a name that seems to awaken even the golden rectangle.”

“It doesn’t really suit a unicorn with that name.”

Perhaps due to its characteristics as a spirit or divine beast, the unicorn ran easily on the water without falling. Not only that, but the speed was so incredibly fast that it could not be compared to the thoroughbred horses only seen in horse races.

It’s not even a small lake, but it only took a few minutes to run across it and come back. In addition, there is no sign of fatigue, so it seems like it is worth the handsome price it looks like.

Eden, who returned from a horseback ride, smiled and said,

“Oh, I want to take him home.”

“That virgin unicorn won’t even pretend to know when my daughter gets married. Is that okay?”

“That’s a bit like that. I can’t help it.”

Then Mary sneakily approached the unicorn and started grooming the unicorn’s tail fur with a comb she didn’t know where she got it from. However, it seems that the purpose is not just for grooming, but for the tail hair that comes out.

“The by-products of these types of spiritual or divine creatures can be used as magic ingredients. Isn’t it expensive here as well as elsewhere?”

“Really? Then I can save a bundle and sell it to use it for travel expenses.”

After trimming, about two and a half strands of hair came out. When I put it all together, it was platinum colored and looked as if it had been made with gold thread. It seemed like it would be useful not as a material but just for its aesthetic value.

I think it would probably be pretty good to use for embroidery. It feels like seeing the purple color of the Tire conch, which was once used as currency by the Kingdom of Aif in Yerostone’s hometown.

After the picnic, we return to Horizon again. Of course, she plans to come back, but she won’t be meeting the unicorn again, so Eden said goodbye to him.

“I had a good time. Take care!!! Stay healthy!!!!”

“Purrrr!!!!”

There was an incident because of Lulu, but it was fun in its own way. I also learned for sure that animals like that live in this world.

Next, I plan to travel this world in earnest. This time, I was thinking about going with so-and-so, but I ended up going with Eden and Mary.

First, I expected Eden, but Mary was unexpected. Oh, maybe that’s why?

“It’s easy to get magic ingredients if there are animals like that everywhere, right?”

“I thought so. It looks like a martial artist wandering around looking for some kind of spirit.”

“At least I’m not risking my life there. I’m not some kind of moth.”

“Well.”

In the end, both warriors and wizards rush towards something expensive and precious, so it is the same, but it is mostly martial people who risk their lives for it. Wizards are smart, so if they think they can’t get a quote, they step out and save their lives.

Of course, there are wizards who are equally willing to throw their lives away, but in terms of overall proportion, the martial arts people are higher. As I said before, how dare you go to the Nature Garden to steal an elixir.

“I’m going to go down and do various things first, so I’ll take the necessary luggage… And learn the language.”

“I learned it!!!!”

“Oh, me too.”

“Damn, am I the only one in my house who takes more than a day to learn a language!!!!”

I am also smart by the standards of the average person. However, by the standards of a transcendental person, it is quite a burden.

Even now, it didn’t take long for Eden and Mary, who were brilliant, to learn this language. At most, you only need to skim it once and know the pronunciation and sentence structure. You can pick up a language in just a few hours.

Compared to that, I… It takes a few days. It can be as short as two days, or as long as a week. That alone seemed smart enough for others to see, but there were so many talented people around me that it felt hard to put into words.

“Well, I don’t know much about it other than basic communication.”

“Dad, that also takes time. Anyway, I’ll learn it as I go.”

It’s not a trip that will last just one or two days, so you can learn it as you go. If you think about it, there was a time when the Pirate King Ruri… So, when I was traveling with my previous life, Mad Max Ruri, I learned that language while crossing the Great Desert.

I remember that time. I met Baekhee there and it was quite fun. When I think about it now, it’s such a memory.

I hope this trip becomes a memory too. What will happen?

After completing the preparations, we set out on a trip.

I hope you have a fun trip.

* ​ * ​ * ​ *

After coming down from Horizon again, we pack our bags and begin our journey.

First, there are roughly two goals for this trip: one is to get to a decent city in this civilization, and the other is to get some magic catalysts for Mary to use.

In short, the main quest is to get to the city, and the sub-quest is to find the Mary magic catalyst. In the case of the latter, I think I’ll probably grab this and that as I go and get it.

“Poacher…!!!!”

“There’s no law like that here, so wouldn’t it be illegal?”

“That’s right.”

Our trip started near the mountain where we had a picnic. And the first target was the village closest to here.

First, the population here is in the hundreds of millions, but it wasn’t as large as I thought. What should I say… The continent is the size of China, but the population is only a few hundred million? At best, it’s close to 1 billion, but it’s not even half of that.

Well, I don’t know if they all come together, but the land is large and the people are all spread out, so it’s not possible for things to just develop. What’s more, the unicorns you saw before will be crowded around and competing for survival.

“I’m excited to see what the food here is like.”

“That’s right. Ah, but it’s hard to keep walking, so I’d like to get a carriage and do that.”

“The question is how much unicorn tail hair I will pay for here. It would be better to sell it in the city, but I need money here.”

“Before entering the village, the two covered their faces.”

“Don’t worry, Dad!!!!”

Among the luggage I packed, there was the recognition-impairing robe that Thiem gave me. I’m sure I’m wondering how I can use it since I left there, but that’s because it’s embedded in the item itself.

If the effect disappears just because the distance goes away, the game system will disappear if the people there drift into another dimension. Of course, if you cross the dimension, you will not be able to use many functions because you will not be able to connect.

To put it in an analogy, it’s like a smartphone that doesn’t have data or Wi-Fi. It’s almost useless, but at least you can use the original functions of the smartphone, so you can also use the recognition-impeding robe.

Thanks to this, I don’t think there will be any problems due to my appearance. Instead, you should be careful about doing things that will attract others’ attention.

And soon we were able to arrive at the first village here. It was like a slash-and-burn village with a fence erected… But for some reason, one side of the fence was smashed to pieces.

Was there any accident? Looking at the traces, it doesn’t seem like a person did it, but was it a spirit creature like a unicorn?

“Who is there!!!”

Men wearing blood-stained clothes and holding spears carved out of something similar to bamboo, pointed them at us and shouted.

I responded by raising both hands to show that I had no intention of being hostile. I learned it very hard, and it was a language similar to Chinese, so it wasn’t difficult to communicate even though I didn’t know how to write.

“I am a passing traveler. Can I stay one night?”

“Tourist?”

“I will give you an example.”

“No, more than that, you are a traveler in these times. Are you by any chance a magician?”

Are you a jerk? Looking at the nuance, it seems like he’s hunting something. Considering the environment here and the shattered wooden fences, are the hunters who catch the spirit creatures that attack humans called chukmagapsa?

For some reason, it reminds me of something like Chaehogapsa. However, the Chinese character used there is the character for scholar (士).

Looking at the way the situation was going, it was hard to say no, and since it seemed like they were going to get involved anyway, I thought it would be a good idea to sneak in and benefit. Anyway, if you’re going to listen to news from here and this and that, the best situation is to have an advantage over the other side.

I’m not cheating. Regardless of whether it’s an evil spirit or not, if you catch and kill the spirit beast, it’s over. Even if you go to Moro, wouldn’t it be enough to just go to Seoul?

“Looking for Cheokmagapsa, and seeing that the village fence is broken, does it seem like a big guy has come down?”

“That’s right!!! That demon beast came down to our village… Gasp!!!!”

“My younger brother died because of him!!! He seems like such a bad guy!!!!”

Ah, those guys are called demon beasts. It may seem meaningless in the grand scheme of things, but in the end, humans set the standard, so if it attacks a person, it deserves to be called a demonic beast.

“I will catch him if you let him stay in the village. Even though he looks like this, he has some skills.”

“If you just want to catch him, what can’t you do? Come on in!!!”

Eventually we were able to enter the village.

A small village with about a dozen thatched houses made of tree branches and walls made of mud. But the atmosphere in the village was not very good. There is also a blood stain on one side that was not cleaned up.

Moreover, what looked like pieces of someone’s internal organs were lying around… I knew it instinctively. This guy didn’t just attack people, he was addicted to human flesh.

Eden frowned as if he reflexively knew as much as I noticed.

“He’s the one who needs to be turned into fertilizer.”

“That’s right.”

Groaning sounds can be heard from one side of the village. When I went there, I saw that the injured patients had been gathered in the yard of the largest house in the village and were being attended to.

“Ugh, uhhh…”

“Water, please give me some water…”

“Aaaaahhh!!! Legs!!! Legs!!!!”

Dozens of people were injured. It does not discriminate between men and women of all ages. And in this situation, it is our Eden who has the greatest ability.

Even though I didn’t say anything, Eden immediately went to the patients, made purified water, and gave them to drink it or sprinkle it on their wounds. However, the bleeding stops, new skin grows, and the pale faces of people turn red.

“Wow, my arm!!! My arm is completely healed!!! Ana doesn’t hurt either!!!!”

“Cheekmagapsa!!! It’s Cheokmagapsa!!!”

“Oh my gosh, Gapsa!!! Please look at my legs too!!!!!”

I knew the situation would turn out like this, but seeing them react like that, I think it’s safe to say that the magicians can use this ability, right? Did Keter say that he uses primitive martial arts or something?

The water essence that Eden uses is close to elemental magic, but to those who don’t know it, it’s equally amazing and mysterious, so it’s natural to be mistaken. As I was gathering information… I sensed something with a sinister appearance coming this way.

It’s similar to the unicorn I met before, but it looks different. Even though it is the same martial art, it feels distorted, as if Jeongjong martial arts and craftsmanship, or magic arts, are different.

And then the culprit who created this situation appeared. A wild boar, with a body as large as a truck and weighing about a ton, was charging towards the village with huge tusks that were reminiscent of an elephant.

“It’s him!!! The devil has appeared!!!!!”

People standing guard shouted and sounded the alarm. I feel like it’s my turn to step forward this time, so I slowly move forward.

“I think I saw this in an animation that Shion watched before. Was it Princess Mononoke?”

“Something like a giant wild boar appears there too. But when you see it in person, it has a different force.”

“Just deal with it quickly.”

“Okay.”

The bastard entered the village through a place he had destroyed during his previous visit. He soon takes a deep breath and searches for something cool.

Originally, wild boars were omnivores, but now they only want one thing. It’s only human flesh. An animal that has tasted human flesh cannot go back.

Moreover, the person’s presence that I sensed was not normal. It looks like a type of magic craft that builds strength by eating humans.

“Kuiiiiig!!!!”

“In the end, it’s just a pig that cries. I’m here, so come.”

When I came out, the guy seemed to think he wanted me to eat, so he rushed at me. I quietly take a stand and rush at the guy who is trying to pierce my body with his tusks and tear it to shreds.

The goal is the neck. He was so big and thick that even if I hugged him, I couldn’t reach him, but it didn’t matter.

Even if I don’t use a force field, I can break this guy’s neck with just my strength.

Suddenly, I remembered Princess Mononoke that Mary had mentioned. And the famous line that came out there.

“Would it have been, ‘Live, you are beautiful?’… Then let’s say, ‘Die, you are ugly.'”

Wood deud deuk!!!!!

The sound of the giant wild boar’s neck bones being crushed resonated loudly.
