Academy Genius Craftsman - Academy Genius Craftsman chapter 129
07. Eldoras (5)
Claprot Guild’s rookie guild member, C-Rank Hunter Choi Hyeon-Seok.
He secretly twisted his face as he slung a heavy luggage bag over his shoulders for an upcoming expedition. Because of his low rank, he was naturally treated as the youngest and entrusted with all sorts of chores.
Even the porter role that no one wants to play.
‘Damn it. Why am I like this….’
In fact, the identity of Choi Hyun-seok is fake.
His real name is Wang Ochun. Even though he is like this now, he is a Korean-Chinese Awakener born in Yanbian and a criminal affiliated with Mann Yeo-ri.
In China, murder, robbery, drugs, and even sex crimes, committing all sorts of violent crimes, and being wanted, it’s good to rely on your body… In reality, he was in a position where he was entrusted with chores.
‘This isn’t it. I didn’t come here just to do something like this.’
I thought everything would be fine once I entered Manma-ri.
The public security police and the People’s Army tremble at the mere mention of three letters in the name of Manma-ryun. Numerous followers under me. He knew that a glamorous life in the underworld awaited him, where he could plunder all sorts of possessions and women, and live as he pleased.
I went in and found out what this was. He became a ttakkari who behaved with that hand gesture.
‘Damn, damn… !’
Wang Ochun thought he had no reason to be treated like this.
Currently, he hides his skills with a C rank, but Wang Ochun’s stats are comparable to B ranks, and his unique skill, ‘presence blocking’, is advantageous to surprise attacks, so even if he is an A-rank hunter, he can quietly take his place. There was
Didn’t he even become stronger when he joined Manma-ryun, accepting demonic energy into his body!
Even if it’s not up to the top executive level, should I be treated as a lowly person for such an insignificant mission? This Wang Oh-chun, who was even called the butcher of Yanbian, no one else?
If you look at it closely, this is all because you are prepared.
Isn’t it because the organization’s ambitious plan was all ruined due to the recent fair terrorism and the raid on the mansion, and the lack of manpower has become serious as all members of the organization who can operate in Korea have been captured or turned into cold corpses?
‘To make you play an infiltrator just because you can only speak Korean….’
It’s sad to be treated as a low-end in Manma-ryeon, but even in such a low-lying organization, you have to do it. Wang O-chun grumbled inwardly for a long time, then quietly looked into the corner.
I was about to secretly throw away my luggage and lighten the weight of my already heavy luggage.
It’s easy to move without being noticed by anyone using his skill, ‘Presence Block’. The city square of Eldoras was nothing more than a ruin with all sorts of rubbish rolling around, so it wasn’t difficult to find a suitable back alley.
Fluffy hair! I turned the bag over and poured out all miscellaneous items such as ammunition and potions. If the plan succeeds anyway, the guild guys won’t have to use it anyway, so it didn’t matter if they abandoned it here.
‘More than that, what is all this? Ammunition, someone uses something like this in the Tower.’
It’s strange that the magic stone is imprinted with strange craftsmanship and looks red and blue, but from his point of view, it was completely useless. Aren’t the things made outside the tower to be used for a while and then thrown away anyway?
Cha Soo-hyeok’s Excalibur, Ryu Jae-hyeon’s Levantine, Rachel’s Caduceus… That was the real weapon. It’s not like a gunblade or something.
If we succeed in conquering Eldoras Tower, I should be able to have such a weapon.
But he’s not a raiding team, he’s doing chores at the bottom….
“Damn it!”
I kicked the rolling magic stone with my feet. Magic Stone rolled on the ground and stopped at the feet of a girl.
“Huh?”
She was a pure white girl. She was dressed in a robe that was as white as her hair.
It was a beautiful appearance that did not suit the dull and dark back alleys of the city. She was unrealistic, as if she had painted white paint over a canvas painted dark gray.
And the moment the girl’s red eyes looked at her.
Wang Ochun lost consciousness as she felt her eyes go dizzy.
–
“… Is it your job to drug your food?”
“Yes. I’m in charge of chores… I also cook… When no one is looking, sneak a peek at the prepared medicine….”
“What will happen if I take that medicine?”
“A powerful hallucination that loses reason… I ran amok without being able to distinguish between an enemy and an ally… Ultimately… We will die and kill each other….”
“Is that all about your role?”
“When things get chaotic… Subdue Yuna Klaproth… Kidnap her and hide until things calm down….”
“Where are the other 10,000 members?”
“I’m fine… The attack team is nothing to me… Because I didn’t tell you… It’s just going down underground… I do not know….”
A member of the 10,000-strong organization who answers questions obediently with blurry eyes.
He was caught in the suggestion of Baek Ji-soo and his mind was completely subdued.
“People kill each other, and Yuna was meant to be kidnapped? Isn’t this complete rubbish?”
Yoon Seo-hee, who was listening, said in a bleak voice as she grabbed the hilt of the golden ranch. The lightly pulled blade of the golden egg gleamed eerily.
“You can’t kill me. Because you are an important witness.”
“That’s right… Tsk.”
Yoon Seo-hee clicks her tongue briefly and removes her hand from the hilt.
She was surprised by the way. It was good until she found the person who accepted the demonic body with a three-person sword, but I never thought that information could be obtained so easily.
“Suggestion is very useful. Isn’t it possible to extract all the information?”
“Not necessarily. Suggestions that are too strong can destroy the brain.”
“Um….”
So, does that mean that the members of this 10,000-member organization didn’t care if their brains were destroyed or not?
A true regressor. There is no forgiveness when it comes to demons.
Certatus, who was listening, felt a slight chill. Did you remember being tortured with three swords in the past?
Anyway, I don’t think there’s any more information to find out from the 10,000 members. I didn’t know much because I was at the end.
“How about taking this person to Yuna? It will take some time, but I think she should warn Yuna.”
“I don’t think so.”
Baek Ji-soo shook his head lightly and met his gaze with the Manma-ryun organization member. White magic shone softly in her eyes.
“Go and tell me your identity and purpose. Every single detail.”
“Yes… All right….”
The gang member who was under Suspicion of Baek Ji-soo went back to the plaza, swaying like a person drunk.
A warning should suffice. I would like to support Yuna’s attempt to increase her power by forming her guild, but the timing was bad today. It would be a big deal if I ran into a 10,000 raiding team, so I’d like you to give up today’s raid…
What was it like in the original history? The reason why Yuna formed a guild and entered the tower was because I helped her make the gunblade, and because Kertatus prevented Yuna from kidnapping, it was a butterfly effect.
If you think so, is it because of me that Yuna was able to enter the tower today?
“… ….”
Changing the established history is such a complex and difficult task.
I’ve only been lucky so far, but there have been several moments where even a slight twist would have made the situation worse than before the return. Without having to go far, Kertatus did. The butterfly effect that would happen if one demon was set free before the apocalypse had even begun is hard to calculate.
I looked at Baek Ji-soo’s small back.
She must have always had this kind of pressure secretly. She must have been under a lot of stress without knowing it.
… Certainly, as Yoon Seo-hee said, she might have needed an opportunity to release her old feelings.
“What are you going to do now? The only information we know is that it went underground. Shall we search all the buildings here?”
Yoon Seo-hee tapped the ground with the tip of her toe and said.
Eldoras is very large. Even if there are not many intact buildings left in ruins, it would be impossible to search all the buildings in this vast city and check the basements.
But there was something that came to my mind when I heard the word underground.
“Do you remember the boss you defeated during the Gate Incident?”
“Ah, that monster that was said to enter and exit the shadows? I remember, why?”
“As far as I know, astral type monsters have never been found in Eldoras. Didn’t you speculate that the gate was opened in a hidden field that has not been discovered so far?”
I walked down the back alley and inspected the floor carefully. Surely there must be one around here.
“When I was fighting the boss, I smelled something rotting. At first, I thought it was the smell of rotting corpses, like the undead, but now that I think about it, I think it was more like the smell of a sewer.”
A stench caused by the smell of fishy water. A hidden field that has never been discovered. The appearance of the boss that looked like an assassin.
“I found it.”
I opened the lid of the drain I found in the corner of the alley. Then I felt a terrible stench that irritated my nose along with a hole barely enough for a person to enter.
Yoon Seo-hee asked in a panic. Baek Ji-soo also had a rare expressionless expression.
“Stand there, no way…” ?”
“Yes.”
The complexion of the two turned blue, as if they had intuited what was about to happen.
