Secret meeting in a hazy night
A few months passed after I got a necklace that was very ordinary except that it was black. I caught larvae to make it rain, used the rain to increase greenery, and when I ran out of magic stones, I hunted monsters to get magic stones. This cycle continued without stopping.
While hunting monsters, there were times when people were killed by high-level monsters of level 4 or higher that were mixed in with the monster group, and people died when the shamans failed to properly gather the monsters and tried to quickly deal with the monsters that had escaped Blizzard’s sphere of influence. Since they had to collect magic stones before the corpses evaporated, they had no choice but to go to great lengths to quickly deal with the monsters that were in their way.
As I constantly consumed and replenished my magical power in battle and magic stone processing, my body gradually began to adapt to the ignorant stats of the divine being. Now, when using Blizzard, I have to stop the magic injection in the middle. Otherwise, the monsters in the center that were frozen early will evaporate before I can even extract the magic stone.
However, what bothered Shingi was that Viola and Shingi were growing apart. At first, they were very friendly, but Shingi felt that they were gradually distancing themselves from each other. Shingi thought that it was unbecoming of a nobleman, since she had been an adult for two years and still had not become an adult.
Since I can’t afford to assign rooms to people, I have to sleep in a room with at least a dozen or as many as a few dozen people. I usually sleep well, but today, the snoring of others was particularly annoying. As Shingi was tossing and turning, unable to sleep, he saw someone quietly get up and go outside.
The moonlight was bright, so I couldn’t see clearly, but the moment the door opened and closed, I could see the figure relatively clearly. It was one of the sailors on the Yi Sun-sin. When I came back about ten minutes later, I could confirm who it was. I don’t remember the name, but I remember the person because there was a clear scar under his left ear.
As he passed by where Shingi was lying, he smelled a scent similar to the smell of powder. Since there was no man applying powder, he must have met a woman. Shingi suppressed the jealousy that was rising in his head.
‘I’m sure you’ve met an ugly necromancer. And isn’t ten minutes too short for a bastard? It’ll take ten minutes just to find a place where there’s no one.’
Due to jealousy and loneliness, Shin-gi fell asleep much later than usual. As soon as he fell asleep, he was transported to a strange space. Shin-gi asked a question as soon as he saw the figure of the love expert, Gi-shin, in front of him. Gi-shin had met many women in college, and the women confessed to him first. Of course, Gi-shin, who was blunt and did not know how to spend money, received a notice of breakup in less than a month.
“What happened in the Europa League? Did you make it to the round of 32?”
“You received a quest, but are you more curious about the Europa League than the quest information?”
“I forgot the quest. Let’s take care of important things first. What happened to the Europa League?”
Kishin shook his head. He has been studying psychology books recently to better develop his players. Still, Shingi’s psychology is completely incomprehensible. He seems to live without thinking, but he is not stupid because he always makes accurate decisions when it comes to important matters. However, I cannot understand why he does not want to use his good head.
“And in the last away game, we drew 2:2. Tomorrow, we will have our first away game against a round of 32 opponent.”
Shingi was anxious because he only heard the news of the loss in the first match. After hearing briefly about the subsequent matches, Shingi was very happy when he heard that he had finally made it to the round of 32.
“If we win this, we’ll be able to participate in the Champions League next year, right? You have to complete the quest quickly.”
“That’s strange. Are you hiding something? Why do you care more about my quest than yours?”
If Gishin’s quest is successful, Singi will receive a special privilege. I don’t know what the special privilege is, though. Singi racked his brain because he didn’t want to tell Gishin the truth.
“Once your quest is over, I think we’ll have a joint quest. My wizard’s intuition is whispering to me.”
“The world is different, so how can there be a joint quest? Is it perhaps something like creating a new adult?”
Shingi didn’t get angry at Gishin’s teasing. He thought of something more important after the Europa League. Shingi asked Gishin for advice, describing in detail what happened with Viola.
“At first, she was really aggressive, calling me Grand Mage. However, at that time, we lived together as a group, with the women living together and the men living together, so I didn’t have a chance. However, after the first monster subjugation, I feel like she’s starting to avoid me. My wizard intuition tells me that Viola has strong feelings for me, and I’m sure it’s love. I don’t know why she’s suddenly avoiding me.”
“Isn’t it a strong feeling of disgust?”
“I’m serious. You’re already an adult, but I’m not yet. It’s been two years since I became an adult, and I still haven’t become one. It’s a disgrace to the family.”
“Hasn’t it been three years? You’re turning nineteen soon.”
“It’s unfair. I went to your side and lived there for less than a month, and I’ve gotten older. So give me two years.”
Gishin thought for a long time. During the conversation in the last dream, the wizard learned that he had to give up some of his logical thinking in order to develop his intuition. Of course, Gishin teased Shingi that he had given up too much. Gishin could infer something by adding common sense and imagination to limited information, but Shingi would become a fool if he lacked information.
“This is not a definite conclusion, but. I think you should be careful of that Viola or whatever woman. She was already one of the top ten swordsmen in the independence army when she had just become an adult. In your case, if I hadn’t distributed your stats well or if you hadn’t suddenly gained power, you would have been below average by now. It seems like there’s something going on, so it’s best to stay away from her as much as possible.”
“Can you tell me why?”
“You said it was a wall-foot. I looked into it after our last conversation. Something was strange. They say that in my world, no one is born with a wall-foot. And you probably know that too. Depending on the qualifications of a wizard, they can become a high-ranking wizard at a young age, but regardless of the qualifications of a swordsman, training is absolutely necessary. You’re a 16-year-old swordsman who’s in the top ten? Are the rest of the independence army that shabby?”
“Okay, I’ve decided. I’ll follow your advice and give you my body, but not my heart.”
According to a psychology book I read recently, it is a self-healing act to soothe aching heart. Thinking about it, Shingi is not yet twenty and is a child who grew up in a rather closed environment. It is truly admirable that he grew up well without being greatly distorted.
“I don’t think you’re curious, but I’ll tell you the information about your quest.”
“The necklace you obtained is one of the Five Dragons’ Holy Weapons. It is said to be the last trace left behind before leaving this world upon becoming a god. Its name is ‘Madness of the Black Dragon’ and it grants you the ability to skip chanting and prevent magic from being interrupted.”
“It’s useless. I don’t need a spirit window in the first place.”
“You said that magic doesn’t stop. And you said your casting speed is 10? If you wear the necklace in that state, it might become 11.”
Shingi took out a necklace from his bosom and put it around his neck. The necklace emitted a dark light and disappeared, leaving a black mark on Shingi’s neck. Shingi, who had been concentrating on the messages coming in one after another, winked at Gishin.
“Thank you for the advice. Now I can even omit the spell name, not just the spell itself. Should I say that I can make the spell happen just by thinking about it? The spell that was once silent has become silent.”
After thinking for a while, Kishin spoke.
“Isn’t magic happening the way you imagine? I mean, is it happening outside the magic framework, just as you imagined?”
Shingi nodded to Gishin’s words. His intuition strongly told him that Gishin’s words were correct. He also realized why magic was not used under the magical name Blizzard. It was because the name Ice Storm was more symbolic than that name.
“The name of this quest is ‘Collect the Five Dragon Spirits’.”
‘Gold Dragon’s Wisdom’ improves magic control and has the appearance of a left earring. ‘Red Dragon’s Ferociousness’ enhances magic power and has the appearance of a bracelet. ‘Silver Dragon’s Pride’ protects used magic from being dispelled and has the appearance of a right earring. ‘Blue Dragon’s Harmony’ eliminates magic repulsion and has the appearance of a ring.
“Did you happen to take the Blue Dragon’s Harmony? It looks like it was made by the guy sleeping on your head.”
“Listen carefully to the information. You said that it was a trace left before becoming a god. There was no mention of a dragon becoming a god. And there is no rule that there is only one blue dragon. Among the four remaining sacred relics, there is only a clue to the location of the ‘Blue Dragon’s Harmony’.”
“It is said that the Archdruid, who is imprisoned and tortured in Nottingham, the capital of the British Empire, knows his whereabouts. Based on my experience so far, I think that if you obtain the harmony of the Blue Dragon, the next clue will appear.”
“But how do we get to the British Empire? Even if we avoid the monsters, we’re worried about water and food. And we have to cross the sea, too.”
“How did the French Independence Army hold out until now? They must have had support from someone on the mainland. My guess is that it’s most likely Idongmun. Idongjin is at risk of being detected by the coordinate scan.”
“Then should I ask the French independence army to let me use the moving door?”
“You idiot. You’re the key to everything right now, and you’d want to let you go? Let Jang Bogo secretly find a way to get back, under the pretense that you miss your family, and pretend that you have no intention of going back.”
Shin-gi nodded at Gi-shin’s words.
“And by the way, you can’t trust all of your crew members. Jang Bogo is a man whose loyalty has been proven. He’s led a fleet and traveled back and forth to the British Empire several times. But I don’t know who the others are. In the worst case scenario, they could be people your father or brother planted as spies.”
“How about we swap bodies? You come over here and handle all this messy work. I’ll be the coach and use ice magic to make the opposing player slip and fall whenever they get the ball. What do you think?”
“It sounds good, but there’s a problem. There’s no mana in this world, so if you stay there too long, your mana affinity may disappear.”
In the past, the reason why Shinki could use ice magic was because of the mana of the game console’s CPU. If you stay in a world without mana for a long time, there is a very high possibility that your soul’s mana affinity will decrease. It is too much of an adventure because you can’t change your body as you wish. Of course, both of you don’t know the method to change it.
“Okay, give me some more advice. Of course, I’d like you to teach me in detail how to become an adult. It would also be good if you could tell me about your experiences becoming an adult.”
Gishin ignored Shingi’s words and gave him advice.
“It seems like they are trying to establish a country in the Yonggol Mountains. Then, a power struggle will inevitably occur between the French independence army and the African tribes. You must carefully judge whose side you should take and then act accordingly. I have a feeling that if you complete your quest, we will be able to open the Door to Truth.”
