Chapter 40 – Dayoon Nam (1)
Korea, USA, China. These three countries are superpowers that lead the hegemony of the world.
A country overflowing with all kinds of magical resources by forging an alliance with the fairies who came over from the gate early, planting a world tree in collapsed North Korea, and Korea with the best asymmetric power called ‘hero’.
The United States overwhelms most of Korea and China, but has low labor and hero power.
And China, allied with the Void tribe, boasts the world’s best labor force.
Void.
They are a race that lives in the void, and some call them spirits. Because they have a translucent body.
They minister to the undead, are a race that is proficient in black magic, and have the peculiarity of wanting spiritual satisfaction rather than material gain. The black magic they have is different from the general perception. Because it is a legitimate contract.
A contract signed under the condition that the country receives money to live in abundance every month until death, and to serve the country for the rest of its life after death. Or, before he dies, he receives a huge amount of money for his family and proceeds with the contract.
‘To be honest, I wonder why I can’t get first place.’
Xiaomei thought.
Undead workers boasting an absurd number of 600 million. Undead workers do not need to rest because they are undead. Because he is undead, he can work 24 hours a day.
Of course, since it is basically undead, it is said that it uses the holy relic once every three days to cleanse the morale of death, but the time and cost are ridiculously cheap.
Click.
“Is that the hero who saved the world?”
A young boy’s voice was heard. A slightly mean-looking smile. A boy about 160 cm tall with black pigtails. The boy was holding a cell phone and taking a selfie with his younger brother in the background with a confident expression.
Looking at his younger brother, Tao, he sighed. He’s lost in thought for a moment, but he’s already doing something else.
Xiao-Mei turned her head. She saw a white statue. A face full of dignity. A statue full of power, as if it were about to run at any moment, brandishing a sword.
Yujin Shin.
He was a hero famous as a regressor and a hero who saved the world. A genius born in Korea.
I glanced around and saw nearby passers-by and foreigners taking pictures or laying down flowers, meditating in silence.
His own younger brother, Tao, was also looking at the statue with longing eyes.
“Tao.”
“Why sister?”
“You know what I’m here for today, right?”
“Of course I know. It’s because of the sword lord. I know how important it is.”
Sword master.
Master of the sword.
He is a hero who is certain to reach the highest rank, and a person who has risen to the highest rank in the shortest time. He hates villains, is the most active figure in exterminating villains among top-ranked heroes, and is a person who cannot tolerate injustice.
Basically, she was born in Korea and works in Korea, but she receives all sorts of love calls from China rather than Korea, which has a small land mass, so she is more popular than any of her country’s heroes.
A female swordsman who handles swords and is sensationally popular in China. If it is called Geomju in Korea, it is called Geomhu in China.
Their purpose today was to ask the Sword Master.
The goal is to defeat the villain.
Originally, with the power of her family, it could be solved without incident, but…
‘Damn you bastards.’
A big accident broke out in the family.
The captured Mine escaped while he was away for a mission in the presence of the current Munju and the SS armed force. The reason was that the son of the elder of the family was drunk and ran amok with a magic sword in prison, and broke through and escaped.
‘How hard I worked to catch that baby.’
An astronomical amount of money and manpower went into it. About 500 skeleton soldiers in the family were smashed, and expensive consumables such as magic scrolls and potions were used considerably, as well as treatment of injured heroes and internal injuries.
First of all, he was put on probation, and later, when the munju and armed forces come to the family, they will be punished. But the villain had to be caught. It’s been a long time since the family announced that they had caught the villain. It might be possible to hide it to some extent with the power of the family, but it was dangerous if it went wild outside.
Because of such a political issue, they came to make a request to the swordsman… Originally, this was also something the elders had to do, but since the other elders couldn’t move to stop the elders’ rebellion, only they could come here.
“Sister, look at him.”
“Who?”
Thao pointed with his hand in low admiration. Xiao-Mei followed Tao’s hand and moved her gaze.
“The prayers are considerable? Even so, they hide it well. You may not feel it from the outside, but the body isn’t bad either.”
There was a boy He has half-curly hair and confident eyes. Pure white milky skin that seems to glow. Contrary to his youthful face, his body was firm.
‘Who is it.’
He is an unusual boy. His appearance was unusual, but the atmosphere around him was even more unusual. He must be said to be bewitched around him. The boy had that kind of vibe.
Above all, Tao responded. Her brother, who excelled at appreciating the powerlessness of her opponents with her wild intuition, responded. It means a person of interest.
Xiao-Mei also looked at the boy carefully. It was because he was a face he had seen somewhere.
However, he tried to think of the outstanding students by force, but he couldn’t think of them.
“Hey.”
“…?”
Thao asked, and the boy tilted her head.
“Are you a wannabe hero?”
“Oh, by the way. Are you on a trip?”
“Yes. I’m from China. My name is Tao. Li Tao. Anyway, you’re amazing. Are you really Korean? A person trained to this level is an aspiring person. Are you attending the Hero Academy?”
“Uh.”
Thao was nodding her head with a satisfied look on her face.
“Are you in first grade?”
“By the way.”
“I’ve taken a picture, but it’s fortunate. If it’s your level, you’re probably the first grader, right?”
“It’s not.”
“…What, you’re not the top? Oh, that’s right. Are you being wary of it? There’s no way someone as talented as you isn’t the top. You’re weaker than me, but you won’t have an opponent in China. If you work harder, you’ll be second. .”
“No, not really.”
“Whoops. There’s no need to deny that. You say you’re the representative of the first year of Hero Academy in Korea, but the opponent is only me. The opponent is bad. It’s just as natural as getting your clothes wet when it rains.”
****
“…”
What are you doing kid He came right out of the blue, talked to himself for a long time, and ended up with a proud face. Judging by the accent and the name, it looks like a student who entered the Chinese academy. Li Tao? I’ve never heard of it. Probably a student at an academy in China.
I sighed and looked at the woman coming this way.
A woman wearing a black cheongsam with golden patterns on her long straight hair, which is rare in Korea.
Li Xiaomei.
I remembered seeing her face.
She was Xiao Mei, called the Black Hand in the upper world. She was an outstanding female supporting character. In the game, she is helped by Yun Seung-ha, and she is impressed by Yun Seung-ha, so when she goes to China, she gets help or rescues necessary items. That is, she waters.
But was there a reason for Riga to come to Korea at this time?
I try to roll her head, but I can’t remember. It must be because he wasn’t covered in the game.
Before going to Dayoon Nam’s house, I stopped by a nearby department store. I thought I had to buy something. They said you can come just by yourself, but when you saw the expression on the macaron I received the other day, it would be better to buy it.
Come to think of it, what did you like?
The thing about Dayoon Nam is that he hates the villain and there are several incidents about him. He also loved his brother dearly. But I don’t know because that’s the only thing that has been dealt with. He was halfway through and he died almost unconditionally.
It was like buying something else to eat. However, Nam Da-yoon is a high-ranking hero, so I don’t think the other gifts will mean much.
Let’s go to the department store and pick out something.
When I arrived at the entrance, people’s eyes were focused. Maybe I should have worn a hat. After looking around moderately, I put on a hat and searched the area, and found a perfume shop. Would the perfume be okay? I bought a rosemary scent recommended by an employee. And headed to Nam Da-yoon’s house.
“Are you here, Siwoo? It’s been a while.”
‘It’s only been a week since we met.’
As soon as I pressed the bell, Dayoon Nam jumped out as if he had been waiting for it. Blue short hair resembling the sea. Black leggings and a white crop top with black stripes. It was an eye-pleasing outfit.
“Yes, it’s been a while. How’s your sister?”
After answering appropriately, Nam Da-yoon smiled brightly and nodded his head. His short blue hair fluttered.
“Yeah. You’ve been doing well. Come to think of it, Siu isn’t hurt anywhere? I heard that a demon attacked yesterday?”
“…Is that known already?”
“Everyone is hushing it up, but these days, isn’t this advanced?”
He lifted up his cell phone and said.
“Academy officials are desperately trying to block it, but the public probably won’t know, and industry officials will know if they can. By the way.”
Blue eyes bent like half moons.
“Our Siwoo, has his unique ability awakened?”
“Yes, I was lucky. I picked up something interesting and ate it.”
“Looking at the metamorphosis, is it related to the body?”
“The metamorphosis of the limbs is an additive… If you have to distinguish it, it’s a mental-related ability.”
“The spirit side?”
I briefly explained the infant dogjon and the yin-yang body.
“Wow…”
Dayun Nam opened her mouth and looked at me.
“Isn’t it lucky enough? Even if it’s not good enough, I think it’s an elixir that the government will treat seriously.”
“Is that tidy?”
Actually I know. There was a time when an elixir similar to Onmyodan was discovered and a war between nations almost broke out because of that one. And the main character accidentally ingests the elixir and grows up one level.
“Yes. Oops, I was distracted so I kept standing. Come inside.”
Following her guidance, we entered the house. We headed straight to the practice room in the basement.
Looking back at the underground training ground, it was spacious. When Dayoon Nam tried to lift the wooden sword hanging on one side of the range, I said.
“I want to learn some dagger skills today, is that possible?”
“Dagger skill?”
She looked at her eyes wide open. More precisely, it is secret magic.
“Yes. Rather than using a single sword, I think it’s better to use it with a dagger.”
“It’s very difficult to do daggers, is it okay?”
Dayoon Nam frowned at her.
“The dagger technique may look cool, but it’s not so good because it has a short reach. It’s a weapon only used by assassins because it’s easy to carry. You can use a sword technique to lengthen it, but in that case, it’s better to lengthen it with a sword from the beginning.”
Dayoon Nam said while holding a dagger made of wood.
“Still, if I had to point out the advantages of dagger technique, would it be portability and unexpectedness? How much do you know about dagger technique?”
“I only looked at the video.”
“…Oh yeah?”
In an instant, Dayoon Nam’s expression changed strangely.
“Have you ever watched Siwoo’s swordsmanship video?”
“No. In addition to the video, the swordsmanship written in the martial arts book…”
“…”
What. For some reason, Nam Da-yoon’s expression changed to that of seeing that he was unlucky for a moment. I guess you didn’t see it well.
“…Uh, let’s start with sparring first. You have to check how strong you are, so you can know your skills.”
Dayoon Nam raised a wooden sword and said.
“Shall we see how strong our Siwoo has become?”
