Chapter 1678 – [A Guide for Families Who Travel Across Dimensions]
The situation was quickly resolved.
The demonic beast that was threatening the village died in the middle of the village. Regardless of who was injured, everyone came out and confirmed that he was dead, and cheered with a mixture of joy that the danger had disappeared and sadness for the dead family members.
“That guy died well!!!!!”
“This guy!!! This guy!!! This guy!!!”
“Save my brother!!! Save me!!!! Arghhh!!!!”
I could understand their feelings, so I left it at that for now. If you don’t do something like that, you’ll feel sick, so it’s better to let it do whatever you want.
After a while, the villagers calmed down and then came up to me and expressed their gratitude. Perhaps because of this, people’s attitudes became more polite and polite.
“Thank you, thank you very much, Gapsa.”
“How should I repay this favor…”
“Thanks to you, my younger brother was able to get one too. Thank you so much, Gapsa!!!!”
It has a purpose, but it feels good to do something good.
Because Eden did something and because I caught him, our standing in the village went up tremendously. Even though they are pretenders, there was a bit of wariness, but now that has all disappeared, and they are treated like VIPs.
Still, since it was a small village, there was nothing special, but everyone still held a party, taking out things they had saved for later. They also bring out drinks similar to sour makgeolli, and they have quite an assortment.
But if there’s one thing that bothers me, it’s the meat. In short, this is the meat of the giant wild boar I caught.
It’s obvious that this guy is cannibalistic, but it looks like he’s planning on eating the guy’s meat.
“What do you mean Gapsa-nim gives you all the meat and bones? For now, just leave the skin and tusks!!!!”
“Oh my gosh, may you be blessed. A beast this size would be worth its price in gold…”
“Cut off all the internal organs!!!! It’s been a while since it was eaten, so you might be able to get the bones out!!!”
It is not another man-eating beast, but a beast that ate its own family. But he eats the meat of those animals? Isn’t it a bit unpleasant?
I know it’s not easy to supplement protein in a place like this, but… Seeing everyone act naturally, it seemed like they thought it was natural. It’s not like there’s nothing they can do, it’s just an attitude that it’s normal.
“I’m going to use it as fertilizer.”
“Well, the culture is probably different. Let’s understand that.”
Funerals are also for the living, not the dead. In a situation where survival is threatened like this, if you throw away precious food just because the animal ate your family, it’s obvious what will happen later. It looks like the field is a bit damaged, but without this, it will be difficult to get through the winter.
All value is lost in the face of survival. Therefore, it is great if you make a different choice in the face of a matter of survival, but you cannot be criticized for making the obvious choice.
But we won’t eat it. That’s why it’s a bit weird to eat animals that have eaten people. At the very least, if you turn it into fertilizer and then eat the crops grown with it, I don’t know.
“Hmm…”
“Mary, what are you doing?”
“Analyzing this and that. First, the basic organ structure is not much different from that of a normal organism, but there are a few things that stand out that are different. Among them is this.”
Mary joined in while the disassembly work was in progress and was looking through things together to analyze something. On the one hand, it seemed like we took care of our share of skins and tusks, but there were other things as well.
What she took out was nothing else but a small rock. It looks like there are three or four of them, not just one. Although the sizes are slightly different, they appear to be roughly the size of a newborn’s fist.
“Naedan? No, it looks similar, but it’s a little different.”
“First, the ingredient itself is mana… So, it’s mostly natural, but it’s a little different. I’m not an expert in martial arts, so I don’t know much, but I think it’s similar to Cheonma.”
“Magic?”
“That’s roughly how it feels. Breathing and naturally absorbing mana and storing it in the body are basic here, so there’s no problem, but mana with different properties, or in their terminology, heterogeneous energy? A mixture of the two can run wild and have a negative effect on the mind. If you look at the nervous system, it seems like the pleasure part is being stimulated.”
“In short, it’s okay to hunt and eat normally, but if you eat humans, they get addicted to human flesh and attack you?”
“That’s right.”
“Then, on the other hand, what happens if a human eats the meat of a demonic beast or spirit creature? In that case, it is the same as accepting a foreign spirit into the body?”
“I don’t know about the nutrients, but it seems like the natural absorption ability is low. Even if you eat only a portion, it will get better over time, so there is no problem.”
Is this a problem that occurs in animals because they have better absorption capacity? It’s kind of interesting.
If he wins enough time and the competition for survival, he becomes something like a spirit or divine beast like the unicorn we saw before, but if he turns into an apostle and eats humans, he may grow quickly, but he loses his reason and turns into a monster and goes on the run.
I think I know why they call them demon beasts. If you look at it, it’s similar here as in martial arts, a master who has learned magic is called a mine.
After learning a little about what kind of place this place was… It wasn’t until the sun set that the feast began. A fire is made, meat is grilled, the dead are sent away, and the survivors have a happy feast.
We didn’t eat meat, but we still had something to eat. Something similar to corn or oatmeal. Although it was sour, it was still edible because there was alcohol similar to makgeolli.
Meanwhile, he talks to the villagers and gathers information. First, my goal is to go to a city, but since I haven’t decided which city to go to, I had to listen to various things and decide.
“By the way, are you going to Jungyang too?”
“Well, I’m thinking about it.”
“I heard that Jungyang is ridiculous these days. It is said that a demonic beast is ruining the capital and is even invading the palace to threaten the country… There are rumors that a huge reward will be given to the warriors who catch it. “
First, if you listen to it, there is a king and a capital, but it seems like it has been ruined by a demonic beast, but it seems that he is no ordinary person.
Even so, he is a king, and the personnel guarding him must be the elite of the elite. There will be soldiers and armored soldiers everywhere, and if they haven’t been caught yet, they seem to be very strong.
“So, have you decided where to go?”
“Of course.”
The purpose of this trip has been decided. Go to the capital of this country called Zhongyang and catch him.
The capital of this country will be somewhat developed, so you will be able to see it in your own way, and if you are lucky, you will be able to kill several demon beasts along the way and replenish Mary’s magic ingredients. Isn’t this a good travel plan?
“Hmm, this is similar to a magic gemstone, so I guess it can be used for something?”
“Can’t I use it on the magic circle?”
“That’s because their temperaments are quite different. I can use both magic and martial arts, but I don’t know much about martial arts.”
“It might have been possible with Gray or Dennis.”
“No, I didn’t say I couldn’t do it?! And don’t compare yourself to the two top classes in the industry!!!!!”
Gray is one of the seven greatest wizards, even if you exclude the fact that he is the Thunder Lord, the absolute pride of judgment, and Dennis is a Lord-level wizard who is superior to Gray as a wizard. Well, he seems to be retired, married, and living well.
“I will achieve results before the end of this trip, so just wait!!!!”
“Okay, try your best.”
Afterward, the feast ends, and one night passes here. Afterward, we separately spoke to the village and asked them to appoint someone to guide us to the nearest city.
I tried to stop him when he told me he was leaving overnight, but he refused because he said the road was busy. Well, it seemed like an excuse to go to Jungyang and exorcise demonic beasts.
“Gapsa-nim, you’re leaving right away even though I haven’t treated you well. Please stay for a few more days and then leave.”
“There is still a commotion in Jungyang, so I think we need to go quickly. Instead, please appoint someone to guide me to the nearest city.”
“If you say so… Yes, I understand.”
The city seemed to be not as far away as I thought. If you work hard, you can arrive in 2 or 3 days. I thought it would probably be a good idea to get some form of transportation there, such as a horse or carriage.
However, just as we were about to leave, something ran towards the village.
“It’s a unicorn!!! It’s a holy water unicorn!!!!”
“Seongsu?! Seongsu has appeared?!?!”
Although we were familiar with it, the villagers were surprised to see it for the first time. However, as he looked around the village, he soon found Eden and ran towards her as if he was happy to see her.
They are wearing recognition-impairing robes, but they seem to be completely specific, so it doesn’t seem to be very effective. Or maybe it’s because he’s a saint and has the ability to see through it. No matter how much of the administrator’s power it contains, it wasn’t created with special care, but rather it was given to be used in a world where only humans exist.
“Ah, slow dancer!!!!”
Hee!!!!!”
“What, how did you get here? Oh, you came running because you thought you smelled me?”
“No, we broke up on good terms, so what are we going to do?”
I thought we would never meet again, so what is this? A wild animal can’t forget someone it briefly met, so it leaves its territory and comes down to where people live?
Even now, the surrounding villagers are looking at us in surprise. However, it was definitely different from the demon beast, and although there were looks of fear, there were also looks of awe.
But that unicorn guy started near the mountain where we had our picnic, but after finding out, he came straight down from there. How much of a virgin you are.
“From now on, I’m going to the capital of this country called Zhongyang. What are you going to do? Do you want to go with me?”
“Purrrr!!!!”
“Okay, let’s go together!!!!”
The guy was rubbing his face against Eden and acting cute. I don’t know the horse’s expression, but just by looking at it, it looks satisfied and happy. It’s just a bit annoying because it looks like he’s touching a high school girl’s butt and smiling sinisterly.
What should we do with this virgin unicorn… First, should we just leave it alone because Eden seems to like it so much as kill it?
“First, how about using it instead of a horse? It’s not an ordinary horse. If you have a cart, I think you can use it as a substitute for a carriage.”
“Hmm, maybe?”
It is not an ordinary creature, but a spirit creature that can move around on the water, in this case a holy beast. Their physical strength and strength are much superior to that of an ordinary horse.
If I were asked to pull a cart, it would easily pull about three or three people. There probably won’t be any transportation issues.
Afterward, I borrowed a cart from the village and had the guy pull it. When I did it, like Lulu, if I even approached it, it got scared and ran away, but when Eden and Mary coaxed it, it came and dragged me with light steps like a gentle sheep.
“You’re a unicorn…”
“It looks like he’s an amazing Gapsa. He’ll definitely be able to catch the demonic beasts running rampant in Jungyang!!!”
Instead, I think it will stand out that much. I am worried that wearing a recognition-impairing robe would be meaningless.
Well, if a problem arises, just kill them all. You won’t be here for long anyway, so there’s no need to worry about that.
“First of all, a guide to guide you to the nearest city…”
Hee!!!!”
“Dad, he says he knows if there’s a city near here?”
“What, didn’t they only live in the mountains?”
“They come out to get some fresh air sometimes, and they know the geography around here.”
Then there is no need to bring a guide.
So we were ready to leave. The village people all gathered together, cried, laughed, and sent us off in a grand manner.
“Gapsa!!! Please come again next time!!!!”
“I’ll be waiting!!!!”
I wonder if I’ll ever stop by here next time… I don’t think I’ll come back if I leave again.
However, I am not tactless enough to say it out loud. All I could do was wave their hands and respond to their seeing off.
Unicorn, or rather, Eden’s name was Slow Dancer. It’s a difficult name to use here, so it’s hard to keep calling it that, and it’s roughly similar to Seo Moo-hee (徐舞姬)… No, that’s a bit ambiguous, so should I call it Seo Mu (徐)) dance)?
“Honestly, I thought about naming it Twilight or Rarity.”
“The genders didn’t match before construction… No, is he female or male?”
“Puruk!!!”
“They say it’s a female.”
“Oh my god!!!! A female virgin unicorn!!!!!”
In human terms, it’s not like crazy psycho lesbians who are crazy about virgins of different races!!!! Oh my god, the absolute creator of creation!!!!
… Still, since it was a female, the feeling of rejection was slightly reduced. At least it’s much better than the male.
The cart pulled by Slow Dancer, or rather Seo Moo, picked us up and quickly headed towards the city. Even though there is a road, it’s really minimal, it’s bumpy and rough, and the speed is so fast that it hurts my butt, but it wasn’t rainy, so it wasn’t muddy.
However, the cart I rented in the village is gradually reaching its limit, so I think I will have to change it when I get to the city. It’s not a joke to rattle, and if I hadn’t used the force field to replenish its durability, it would have been destroyed long ago.
Still, I was able to save time by covering the distance in three days in one day. Then, our first destination, an old city with stone walls, comes into view.
When I climbed up the hill and looked down on the city, I was able to understand the structure of the city to some extent. I don’t know anything else, but considering the deterioration of the walls, it looks like a fairly old city.
“Oh!!! It’s arrived!!!!”
“There aren’t many high-rise buildings. Still, the architectural style with its own unique features stands out. Zion will like it.”
“Are you talking about your wife here too?”
“Leave it alone. What’s wrong with a husband thinking of himself as his wife?”
I arrived, but getting in was a problem. We have the most conspicuous holy beast here, the Unicorn.
“Then wouldn’t it be better to stand out more if you were going to stand out anyway?”
“Huh?”
“Utcha.”
Eden took off her robe and got on top of her. She is a combination of a fairy tale-like unicorn and a dimension-level beauty, so even if a fight breaks out next to her, she will attract attention.
“Let’s go, Secretary!!! LESSON 5 is for this…!!!!”
“Why do you make it sound like you’re going to use a golden rectangle?!”
“This final boss is the president, no, the king of this country!!!!”
I have a strong feeling that this trip will not be smooth either.
