Chapter 490 – [A Guide for Transcendentalists Traveling in the Post-Apocalypse]

Spent a few days of tedious sailing. Drum Ho was full of her energy, so she kept on going through the night and didn’t have to be in a hurry.

We talked about this and that, but in the end, information was lacking.

“There is a limit to what we can know now. I wonder if we need a sufficient record or something…”

“If not, you might want to ask someone you know.”

“Is there such a person? In this age when everyone is dead?”

“Jaeho Yougwi”

“Ah!!! Don’t bring out that bastard’s name!!!!”

Ruri became nervously angry. Well, it’s natural. If it was before, I would have thought it was an overreaction, but now it’s because he’s the one who killed her friend.

Come to think of it, Jaeho and Yugwi were said to be one of the few survivors of that era. He remembers what he said at first glance.

“Jaeho Yugwi… He is actually my maternal grandfather”

“I think the person in the urn in the drum was also called my maternal grandfather.”

“Two maternal grandparents make them sleepy!”

“To be precise, he is not my paternal grandfather, but his half-brother’s maternal grandfather.”

“Well, I understand it roughly.”

The more powerful the family, the wider the family problems that arise from it.

If you look at the Ryu family, there are four mothers and five children, and I personally have five children, but I was born in a family with five mothers. The atmosphere in Ryu’s family is at least harmonious, but there…

It’s often said, but let’s think that I’ve never been properly loved by my parents in my reincarnation. Whether it’s dead, busy, or even someone who exists but doesn’t look like a parent. Those who were born in a more normal environment are rare since the early days of reincarnation.

“Jaeho Yugwi was the one who was aiming for the regency by putting my half brother first. He is the incarnation of the desire for power.”

“Aren’t you?”

“It’s natural for me to inherit the empire. Also, I have no intention of neglecting the responsibility that arises from it. If I didn’t have the ability and he had enough ability, I would also think about passing the throne.”

“……Ruri, how is the evaluation of Jae-Ho’s ghost?”

“Why do you take out the baby’s baby?”

“Except for killing your friend, tell me without a supervisor.”

“A horny bastard with grandparents?”

“The response is the same.”

“He deserves it. Isn’t that what people who live in the city do because they want to live there?

“Somehow I feel a sense of deja vu”

“You! I can’t use it when I think of Korea!”

Anyway, the evaluation that he was a bastard was the same. If the reaction is the same before or after the fall of the empire, the conclusion should be the same.

But there is one doubt.

“Your maternal grandfather? No matter how old you are in a cryopreservation device, you must be quite old. How is your lifespan?”

“It’s about lifespan, but with separate treatments, it can be extended up to 1,000 years.”

“You’re not some kind of elf, so what about you?”

“I haven’t had that much treatment. At most, it’s just a basic treatment… I guess I’ll live 600 years.”

“You guys are different in efficiency.”

When human beings are born, they are born with something called originality, or vitality. It is what Murim people often use when fighting at the risk of their lives.

This is the death of a person whose vitality is exhausted, continuously consumed during life, and gradually reduced and died of old age if there is no problem.

Baek-hee’s vitality is no different from that of other humans, but the amount she consumes is one tenth of that. That’s why she can live a long time with the same vitality.

“But that’s only if you don’t get sick and don’t get injured?

“I know that much. But… The subject of the term ‘you’ is quite comprehensive. It seems that you refer to the empire or civilization itself in that way, but your view is quite high.”

“What about a subject that is barely paying attention?”

We haven’t revealed our identities to Baek-hee yet.

I can tell you, but I think it would be fun to dig into it yourself. Little things to enjoy while traveling.

Beep beep beep!!!

“I’m sorry while we were talking. The sensor caught something. The reaction wasn’t great, but there were a lot of them, so they looked like humans…”

“Human?”

“Aren’t they the pursuers? There’s a possibility that Jinrang and Yoju will try to do something soon? No, wasn’t it rather too quiet?”

“I don’t think so. The target is not us, but rather we are fighting a group of beasts.”

“If you’re not an enemy, you should help.”

“When was the last time you saw someone kind to others?”

“If there are a lot of people wandering around a place like this, wouldn’t that mean you’re a person with some power? I’ll help you and take something out.”

“Hey! You’re a little talked about! Gazhhhhh!

Drum Ho suddenly accelerates and moves forward. It is only after getting closer to a certain extent that the source of the commotion begins to come into view.

There were people surrounded by quite a few brown-furred wolves. Dozens of unarmed, armed troops is honestly a lot, but brown wolves are in the triple digits.

On the one hand, the fact that there are numbers like that is proof that we are getting closer to the southern part of the star. It means that the heat, which seems to be suffocating in broad daylight without shade, has become tolerable to some extent.

“Looking at the windmill carrying luggage, it must be the top!”

“Then you’d have a lot to give.”

“But to hear there are so many gravel wolves, they usually don’t pack as much as I do.”

“Let’s think about that later!”

Before long, we rushed into battle. In fact, I’m the only one who goes into direct combat, the rest of us shoot crossbows and bows from the deck above the Drum. Oh, by the way, Xion is in a fun spectator mode.

Baek-hee also shoots them with the bow she bought in Giyeong City. It’s a little far away, but nonetheless, it hits their heads or vital parts accurately. I don’t think it’s a level that I learned as a simple hobby.

“Kreurreuk!!!”

“Where does this stick its teeth out? I need to educate the bastard!!!”

Usually, when you say a wolf, you might think it’s a stupid mob in the beginning, but that’s what I’m saying because I haven’t seen real wolves.

The wolves, which are large enough to put their front paws on the shoulder of a roughly sturdy adult man, are threatening with only one wolf, but they even live in packs. Don’t you think there’s a king of wolves, Robo, from Seton’s animal story?

But that is also the general standard. Maybe it’s because these guys’ leather is quite thick, so even if the Quarrel here, which has decent shotgun power, bounces off or gets stuck, it doesn’t seem to do much damage, but it doesn’t matter to me.

Wood Deuk!

It breaks the neck of the one who attacks at once and sweeps them like a human follicle. One fist per fist. Despite sneaking up on it, the number of them quickly dwindled.

“You must be a nangjungjichu, not a philtrum follicle!”

“I don’t think that’s what you’re talking about here, is it?”

“Nangjungjichu (狼中之醜) is an ugly man in a pack of wolves!”

“No, this bitch?!?!”

“Well, to be honest, he’s ugly”

“My husband is unique, not ugly!”

In the midst of the melee, a wolf that seemed to be the leader growled and howled. Perhaps feeling that there is no chance of winning, he leads the surviving wolves and retreats.

I could have pursued it, but I did not pursue it. They would have attacked people in order to survive, but it is impossible to hold them guilty in the natural law of the jungle. Because there is no malice in nature.

All that remains are dozens of wolf corpses, and their pack has been reduced by about half, making it difficult for them to attack people for a while.

“Oops! Thanks for your help! I never thought I’d get help like this in the middle of the desert…”

“Ah, it’s nothing…”

“Then give me everything you have.”

“Yes?”

“Give me everything you have”

At what Ruri said, the man who seemed to be the owner of the guild stiffened.

After avoiding the wolf, he is a robber. That’s a lot of fun.

*        *    *

Actually, Ruri was half joking when she asked for what she had. On the other hand, let’s put in a moment what was half serious.

The people who were attacked by the Gravel Wolves were merchants who traded with other cities. Hmm…I suddenly remember that Bloodier was resurrected because of the blood ties corps in the martial arts dimension over there, but first of all, I approached this, so let’s put it aside.

“We will dismantle the gravel wolf carcasses.

“How much will you pay?”

“Should I hit the lifesaver? I’ll hit you enough to satisfy you.”

“Uhm, let’s just drain the blood for now.”

“Ah! I thought it was an excavation item, but did it have a purification function? It seems that you are a skilled wild dog!”

“Well, that’s fine.”

Come to think of it, there is not much difference between the Drum Ho and other windmills in terms of function, so I wondered if the Drum Ho was so precious, but the difference in structure and convenience facilities seems to be different.

Even though the drum ho is a bit narrow, it has all the functions necessary for living inside, but the windmill they use for the upper management does not have such a thing. At least it’s to the extent of going inside a container to avoid a sandstorm in case of emergency.

The difference between a general vehicle and a ship for vacation is bound to be large. So, unlike the others, you’re confirming that it’s a relic excavation?

“Ah, my name is Hwasu. I’m the owner of a large guild.”

“By the way, when do you think I saw your face, where did I see it?”

“You probably passed by and don’t know, but I was also in the black market at the time.”

“……Ah, the person with the shaman at the time?”

It was on the black market that I first saw a man in the world who had a real shaman. I didn’t remember it deeply because I was just passing by, but I’ll meet you here.

If you think about it, being in such a black market is proof that you have a lot of money. It’s a place where you can get thousands to tens of thousands even if you can’t get the goods there… There must be a lot to eat.

“As expected, you can recognize it at a glance. Then, those behind me…”

“It’s better not to care deeply. Isn’t there a saying that what you don’t know is medicine? Oh, don’t you know?”

“I know of similar stories. But if you don’t like it… Yes, I understand.”

Being in the black market, Hwa-su, who knew there was a vagabond aristocrat in our group, showed a little emotion while watching Shion and Baek-hee resting behind us in the shade of the deck of the Drum (with their faces covered, of course).

There is a little bit of desire in it. It is a calculated mind as a merchant who wants to know how to use it. As a merchant, it was natural and there was no malice, so I didn’t threaten.

If you just think about it or look at it and catch it and defeat it, there will be no one left in this world. At least if you don’t run it, I’ll be generous with it.

It’s relentless when you run it!

“Gacha? Gacha? Gachaaaaa! Yahooooo!”

“Why is this bitch suddenly gacha? Did she explode?”

Ruri, who was out of her mind for a moment and had a seizure, put the situation aside. Even the animals that attacked them are a resource. The blood is drawn, the moisture is extracted, the skin is peeled off to make clothes, the meat is eaten, and the bones are poured into the broth.

Carnivores… No, considering the environment and canines here, they seem to be omnivores, but I don’t know if meat is delicious for these guys.

Well, those who feel bad for eating people don’t like meat, so I’ll sell them all.

“Hey…Is it over?”

At that time, someone came out of the loaded windmill container.

Ah, I remember that face a little bit. It was a shaman attached to the top of the hwasu.

If you look closely now, you are quite young. He was a handsome boy, probably younger than Ruri, roughly in his mid-teens.

“I’m a shaman, but didn’t participate in the battle? Why?”

“Ah… Muhwa is a child who has just awakened as a shaman. I got it in my arms through a deal of my own, but my allies might get hurt while fighting…”

“I can’t control it”

“Yeah, it’s really the final blow.”

I took a closer look at the shaman boy whose name I had heard.

At that time, I was just a passer-by, so I just took a quick glance and went over, but looking at it now, there are a few things that stump me.

“…….Why is that? What’s wrong with me?”

“No, nothing”

For a man, he is handsome and strangely sexy. Even if he is second to none, his body smells like Hwasoo Sangjuju.

……… These bastards did it, did it.
