Chapter 167 – A Twisted Future
#167.
“Oh! Master, come over there!”
As Ha-yeon said, she turned her head and saw Sim-young Ryu just coming out of her bar.
With her shoulders drooping and her eyes staring blankly nailed to her floor, anyone could see that her life was ruined and she was in despair.
Gaon knew because he had received a report the day before, but he nodded happily when he noticed that the plan had succeeded.
Chorin looked at Shimyoung with a slightly sympathetic look and asked.
“Gaon, are you going right away?”
“Yes, now is the right time.”
While having sex, the pupil was broken, and the dantian was destroyed in half. The sense of loss will be indescribably huge.
It must be the feeling of wanting to hold on to even a rotten rope.
In this situation, the possibility of recruitment is high.
Gaon hurriedly approached and caught up with Simyeong when he reached an empty alley.
“Ryu Shim-young.”
“… You are?”
“I saw you yesterday. It is called Hyuugaon.”
Ryu Shim-young’s eyes were tearing up.
The appearance of Gaon is so cunning. Of course, at this moment when he lost his martial arts, he showed up on a street not far from the bar and made another offer.
“Ser, I don’t think you… !”
“Did you enjoy yesterday?”
“You bastard!!”
Grasp!
Unable to suppress her rapidly rising rage, Simyeong desperately moved and grabbed Gaon by the collar, even with her lowered body.
“Because of you! Everything is ruined because of you! Why the hell! Why is that? What grudge do you have with me!”
“There is no such thing as a grudge.”
“This, this fuck…”
Shim-young felt her energy drain away from her calm response, as if she wouldn’t bleed even if he stabbed her with a needle.
Honestly, even in that hazy state of drinking a lot, the sex she experienced last night was so good that it can only be described as ecstatic.
If he tried to seduce a neat and beautiful woman like Yurina, it would have taken a lot of effort.
But what would you do then? He lost his martial arts as a result.
“How are you going to compensate! My martial arts! What will I do with my martial arts!”
“We will restore it. Instead, join the Savior Guild.”
“Is that the sound again? Fuck!”
That bastard’s Savior!
What the hell was that about, why did you dare to make a recruitment offer while doing this to yourself, who had been living in seclusion in a secluded manor!
While thinking so, Simyeong realized one thing.
‘For a moment. I lost my martial arts right now?’
She had always assumed that she had approached him for some questionable purpose.
But now he lost his martial arts and became weaker than normal. If there was resentment, he could just kill him like this, otherwise it could be seen as having no use value anymore.
To be honest, Shim-Young doesn’t know how to do anything other than martial arts.
That is to say,
“Really… You mean you can restore martial arts?”
“Of course. It’s impossible to give a detailed explanation, but we can restore the short circuit. Instead, in order to rise to a high level again, you have to gather your inner strength from the beginning.”
“Her… !”
What does this mean?
That means that he is no longer restricted by his child’s gong, and he can go out and play rice cakes with various women as much as he wants while using martial arts.
The pleasure of yesterday, the soft skin of a woman, the fragrant body odor. You can feel it all over again.
With a clearer mind!
When the accident reached that point, Shim Young was able to objectively grasp what she was doing.
She naturally let go of her hand that was gripping her collar. Rather, she straightened her clothes and tidied her up before stepping back politely.
“Excuse me. You’ve been rude to the guild leader. Please forgive me.”
The title changed from this bastard, bastard to guild leader.
Even Cho-rin and Ha-yeon, who were seriously examining the situation, put her tongue out because of her extraordinary adaptability.
Gaon also pretended to be okay on the outside, but on the inside, she was quite embarrassed and stretched out her hand to stretch out Simyeong’s waist.
“It’s okay. I can understand.”
“As expected of the guild leader, her heart is as wide as the sea. That’s why you have such beautiful people as your lovers. Haha! I should be followed.”
In a sense, it was amazing to see Shim-young brushing off everything and approaching her warmly with just one word of being so shameless.
“Kuhm… ! It’s been praised. Rather, are you joining the Savior Guild?”
“Of course! I will dedicate myself to making the Savior Guild the best in the Empire!”
“Excellent. Then let’s go together. After a brief contract, we will begin her treatment.”
“Yep!”
When she talked about her treatment, a bright smile appeared on her Sim-young’s face. Her eyes, full of anticipation, were quite strained, so she headed to her inn, where everyone had tried to avoid eye contact as much as possible.
Since they took the annex this time, they slipped away from the counter side and came into a separate space and sat around a round table.
“Read here. It is a contract.”
“Okay, then excuse me for a moment.”
The content of the contract is as follows.
The contract period is 5 years. A restores B’s power outage, and B actively cooperates with A’s request during the period.
Other than that, confidentiality is basic, and when you leave, you have to talk face-to-face unconditionally.
At her contract, which was much simpler than she thought, Simyeong quickly glanced at her paper with her trained eyesight and happily took a picture of herself.
Then, when Gaon finished, the contract was scattered in blue light and permeated their bodies.
The moment you break the contract, this will become a curse and your body will never be able to handle mana again.
Of course, Simyeong is meaningless because Danjeon has already been damaged. That’s why she accepted the contract more easily.
Now that she’s finished her contract, it’s time to restore the power outage. Gaon said to Chorin, ignoring Simyeong’s glinting eyes with hope.
“Chorin, please.”
“Yes. Ryu Shim-young, excuse me for a moment.”
“Ah, this person is treating you. Let’s take a look.”
Shim-young opened her arms and smiled at her with an open mind, but Cho-rin didn’t even want to touch her, so he used her magic to stretch her tree roots and heal her from a distance. It started.
The treatment took quite a long time from Gaon’s point of view, and ended so quickly that Shim-young’s point of view doubted whether it was really true.
After 10 minutes, Chorin let out a long breath and dispelled her spell.
“It’s done. Would you like to check it out?”
“Oh, you mean already?”
“Yes, go check it out.”
“Then wait…”
Simyeong, who saved her spirit, closed her eyes and entered her contemplation.
In his body, almost all of the mana was drained, leaving only the minimum amount of mana needed.
Of course, it would be difficult to observe it normally, but it was possible to move and observe the small amount somehow because of the experience of being in high altitude.
After a while, Simyeong opened her eyes and shed tears of joy.
“Thank you. Thank you. I will be loyal for the rest of my life!”
“It sure seems to have been restored. Then let’s go back to the Barrymore estate.”
There’s no reason to take too long.
Gaon retrieved all the luggage stored in the inn in the space below, and after a brief exchange of greetings with Rave, the branch manager, he moved to the gate.
Ryu Shim-young will be a great strength in the future.
It might not be helpful since you have to start from the beginning right now, but even if half a year passes, you can grow to the same level as Gaon.
Looking forward to that time, Gaon smiled.
‘Now that we’ve accepted all the talented people, it’s time to look for opportunities.’
It’s going to be pretty busy for a while.
And then, three months passed.
***
“Whoa… We have finally arrived.”
Gaon, who was contemplating while sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes.
After a year and a few weeks of returning, he was able to achieve 8 stars.
The power of the violently swirling storm at the center of Hadanjeon was ready to rush out to all parts of the body at any time.
Now, it has reached the level where it can be used in various forms from the whole body, rather than simply putting it on a spear.
At this rate, even within the Union, I could walk around a little bit on the shoulder.
Also, not only Chorin and Hayeon have also achieved considerable growth.
Cho-rin is trying to create her own magic by exploring various magic books to achieve 7 stars, and Ha-yeon recently reached the level of 6 stars.
I’m still a little anxious, but I’m still able to take care of my future.
‘Now is the time to go to the capital…’
Above all, they have now obtained all the things that could be occupied among the Giyeon near the Barrymore estate.
As long as there was nothing more to gain, they had to extend their influence to the capital city and acquire other talents as well.
For reference, in the case of Simyeong, she was able to use her Aura in just three months.
I want to get the elixir, but it’s not worth a dime or two, and I can’t give you anything but a decent one because there’s nothing for sale.
Coincidentally, there was no way to do it because there was no magic weapon or ancient relics, but there was no elixir.
Of course, he was happy just by the fact that he escaped from the eunuch, but he was just happy.
These days, it is said that Miranda, the deputy guild leader of the Pre-New Guild, is doing tricks.
Of course, it’s not hard.
But before we can focus on the capital, there are some things we need to do first.
“By the way… Are my predictions correct?”
Gaon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the newspaper he had bought this morning when he briefly stopped by the downtown area.
「Volcanic Demonic World of Serima Territory Disappears!」
This is the headline at the top.
The Serima Territory functions as a port city and a strategic point for supplies, and there is a volcano created by a crack opening on a mountain a little away from there.
In the depths of the place that existed for hundreds of years, there is a cloak of the sun god, a very rare artifact that greatly increases control and affinity for the flame attribute, and has resistance close to immunity against fire attacks.
It was something that would only be discovered by an adventurer in the next few years.
The Wings of the King of the Sky, and this time as well. The future was changing because of some intervention.
This is something you should definitely check out.
For the past few months, since the time when Lucipheon’s information power was freely available, Gaon conducted investigations on people who had chanced upon them in their previous lives, just in case.
And it is confirmed that several, but not all, individuals have ventured out and gone missing.
If someone is intervening, there is a high probability that that person is of the same type as Gaon.
“I can’t do that.”
In the second playthrough, when he visited the ruins he had to return to, he remembers finding only an empty interior, let alone light.
So it’s very unlikely that what you’re concerned about is true, but you had to check it out.
I remembered what Cheon Jae-hee said in the past.
– Gaon, can you see the future?
If someone who intervened did not die because of something Gaon had done, and had the ability to see the future, he could understand the current situation.
“I have to tell you both.”
Looking at the route, the next place to move must be the temple that is created when the rift opens in 3 days.
The sacred objects obtained from the temple have irreplaceable yet powerful effects.
If you really knew the future, you would be greedy.
At that time,
‘Seize it.’
Gaon’s eyes sank deeply at an unexpected variable that he hadn’t even considered.
